And people thought it would fail, lmao. Cannot wait.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Get ready, Horizon 3 is releasing the week before GTAVI

 

[PSlayer]

What a time to be alive

 

[Evil Calvin]

So, any word on which console version is better? I have a PS5 and XSX so not sure which to get it on. I think I have more HD space on the PS5 though.

 

[SantaC]

Is it thursday already?! Please!

 

[Arioco]

I'd like to try Elden Ring and give it a chance, but the truth is I'm yet to play a From game that I like. Last one I tried was Sekiro (whose art style I find stunning, unlike the Souls) and I couldn't play for more than a couple of hours. I wonder if Elden Ring could make me change my mind about From. Or maybe their games are not for me, period.

 

[Danjin44]

B…b..but I thought the graphics supposed to make it unplayable!?

 

[Alter_Fridge]

I'm surprised - game of the year locked up already and it's only Feb. I always thought difficulty would put off reviewers.

Starfield doe

I'll take the epic space opera RPG 10/10 times over the drugery of a Souls game

And I'm a PS guy

 

[SlimySnake]

Does anyone know any Greenmangaming coupons I can use? It's only $50 there but im cheap and want another discount lol

 

[SantaC]

What a time to be alive

It is nice to be alive, i hope Putin isnt starting world war 3 before release of this game.

 

[DelireMan7]

This feels appropriate

 

[Represent.]

Who would have guessed lmao

 

[gunslikewhoa]

 

[TheMan]

I predicted 92 and this game said "no bitch too low"

Good job From

 

[GermanZepp]

Yo me reía como un gil y ahora el sábado me voy al campo. Me re cabió. Me voy a pedir el viernes en el laburo.

If I recall correctly the demo ran a bit better on PS5 but by launch I don't expect them to be very different. In fact it's very likely we need DF or NXGamer to tell them apart, so I don't think you can go wrong with either of them.

Mhm nah fantasy will always beat sci-fi

 

[Bartski]

imagine those idiots bitching on Twitter that it has reused door opening animation

 

[SantaC]

Elden Ring >>> Nintendo

 

[LavosBit]

Very nice. Can’t wait to jump in.

 

[VFXVeteran]

I bought it.

Keys are out and preloading is available now!

 

[FrankWza]

Someone with a release date copy will platinum it by Monday. Naked and two handed. It won’t be me

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I said 90-95. I am ashamed.

 

[Denton]

I fully expect 95+ and for it to be the most overrated game of the generation

Oh look, he was right.

 

[ANDS]

Is there a review that specifically talks about the console versions, or do we have to wait for DF?

Most reviews are of the PS5 version. You can also filter by platform on Metacritic. Performance seems similar across all platforms though at least in terms of issues.

 

[Danjin44]

Who would have guessed lmao

It was pretty obvious but unfortunately most people in GAF to obsessed with graphics to see.

 

[DavidGzz]

I was trying to tell old boy that all the games he mentioned were for the bargain bin, there is only time for Elden Ring this month and probably months to come.

 

[kingpotato]

Can we all agree that everyone who comes in here to downplay hype for Elden Ring or, conversely, use Elden Ring hype to shit on other games are morons?

Anyway, back to the party

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

I'm surprised - game of the year locked up already and it's only Feb. I always thought difficulty would put off reviewers.

2022 is turning out to be crazier than we thought. Starfield and God of War Ragnok is also coming this year so GOTY is still up for grabs.

 

[wvnative]

I wish I could join everyone else in the hype but I just cannot get into these games and making it open world hasn't gotten me anymore eager to try again.

But I can be happy for the rest of the gaming community, looks like ya'll in for a treat.

 

[Banjo64]

Spoiler: NSFW

 

[Interfectum]

Some of you doubted Miyazaki....

 

[Leyasu]

Look at them review scores. I have never fancied playing a souls like game because the over the top difficulty always put me off. I want to enjoy my time playing not be frustrated. I might get this once it goes on sale

 

[Wesleyalucard]

Zelda fans crying

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Thank god for individuals like Miyazaki

You can't get entertainment like this with collective leadership that devs seem to want to push for now. We need these singular visions.

 

[Swift_Star]

Well, there it is.

 

[Shtef]

According to this video:



performance mode is really bad on series x, it goes from 43-48 fps on average while on ps5 it goes from 55-60.
I hope day one patch fixes this issue, cause I only have xbox.

 

[dorkimoe]

Same. I hope it has an actual tutorial. I tried to play the souls game on ps5 and got into some realm and had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. No tutorial at all

 

[FrankWza]

I’m waiting for it to hit PSNOW

 

[IFireflyl]

I don't even know what Elden Ring is, but I pre-ordered it on Steam because people won't stop talking about it.

 

[jorgejjvr]

my next game after horizon, but i gotta beat that first

Praise the son

 

[Represent.]

"Combat in Elden Ring is unmatched by any other game,

lmao
Its quotes like this that just rub me the wrong way.

 

[Zathalus]

Well, I didn't expect the game of the generation would launch so early into the generation.

My Horizon playthrough right now:

 

[Midn1ght]

Last one I tried was Sekiro (whose art style I find stunning, unlike the Souls) and I couldn't play for more than a couple of hours. I wonder if Elden Ring could make me change my mind about From. Or maybe their games are not for me, period.

Same boat, didn't like Demon's Souls and never really enjoyed that type of game but this one seems different, open world and if reviews are to believe, easier to get into.

I'm usually good at not falling for hype but these scores and the gorgeous art style are tempting for sure.

 

[AV]

Moved a holiday day to Friday, fuck it. Game of the decade incoming.

Yes. Modern day idiots love to shit on auteurs but they always end up making the best, most memorable content. Design by committee is boring as fuck.

 

[Draugoth]

Holy fuck
