when i build my home theatre i put off elden ring and other games because is said " when its done im gonna play "
now i realize that playing 100hour long games are not great in a home theatre setting. Sound is super nice but sitting in the dark for 20 hours etc is not the way.

Will build a pc living room setup with the 5000 series cards. so i will hold on elden ring + dlc until then.
Cant wait, have played elden ring for like 10-15hours, cant remember. Great game. Gonna be sick on 4k Oled monitor.

Have played elden ring on PC as well, having a fast monitor makes the game so much easier then playing on a projector ... and i even have a good one for gaming, 30-35ms input latency

I just started playing a new runthrough a month ago and that's exactly where I am as well.. I'm gonna need to start over and just play through once.

The problem boss is Mohg for me to start over. I've got radahn down pretty good.

 

[DeaconOfTheDank]

Anybody know if Kadokawa has give any sales figures for this game? Last I heard, it was at 23 million, but I feel like the expansion is going to push it past 30 million. The hype is palpable, and I just love to see FromSoftware winning.

Ironically he is very weak to bleed. Also, that special tear you get from killing Eleonara really helps getting through the Nihil-phase. Mohg's Shackle is another useful tool.

I'm happy to have created a new character for the DLC, I'm having fun making a new build, taking my sweet time to be ready when this masterpiece drops.

 

[Danjin44]

I just finished my new playthrough for preparation for this DLC……Thrusting Swords has become my new favourite weapons.

 

[stickkidsam]

Holding off on watching anything, but do we know if the hand to hand combat scales from strength or dex?

My new character is a dex/int build and I’m DYING to punch bad guys!

[Nankatsu]

Do I want to try this out? Yes.

Do I have the strength to go back to such game? I honestly don't think so, at least for now

 

[Lokaum D+]

Had to roll back my save, started NG+5 and didn't had the courage to finish the game once more.

I have the opposite problem of I just can’t stop playing this…for some reason I have unhealthy addiction to this game.

I make character do 2-3 playthroughs then start entire new character for new build, I did this around 6 times by now…I feel like I should be burn out but every time I start a new characters I get strangely addicted.

I played it for close to 900 hours over two years. While having a kid and a job that consumes my free time. I finished it probably 20 times with all kinds of builds. It did something to my brain. I'd zone out in the supermarket just thinking of the noise the Ruins Greatsword makes when it smashes into the ground. I'd watch challenge videos while on lunch break. I finally shook it off in November... and now this... it's Joever.

And then get Impaling Thrust on it and stance break everything.

 

[SonicVolcano]

My main problem with the game is that I want to play umpteen builds at the same time. There is just so much diversity and so many great weapons to choose from.

 

[Gideon]

If you need help with mohg, don't forget to place the summon signs.

I think Bamco are the ones keeping track of the sales figures.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

You guys better start getting to work and beat Mogh before the DLC drops.

 

[Shtef]

Cover story: Shadow of the Erdtree is the culmination of decades of FromSoftware RPGs, and a gargantuan finale for Elden Ring

FromSoftware's Hidetaka Miyazaki on ending Elden Ring with an epic final verse.

"You might say that trying to capture that excitement of those old tabletop games and game books was one facet of making Elden Ring," says Miyazaki. "But I think more than anything it's just my personal preference when it comes to RPGs and exploring fantasy worlds, so you might see some of my personal idiosyncrasies come into play. I'm still in the process of making my ideal fantasy RPG. While Elden Ring is not quite it, it's pretty close. It's getting close."

We're gonna be eating good. Can't wait

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Im ready now

He just needs to come out and say it. His next game is going to be a Berserk game.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Will the base game be on sale next week or during the Steam Summer Sale? Chances?

Pretty sure it will be

 

[skneogaf]

Going by previews it will be as laughably overrated as original

Overrated to you doesn't mean overrated.

Do you believe your view is how everyone should think?

 

[M1987]

Will the base game be on sale next week or during the Steam Summer Sale? Chances?

It will always be cheaper on cdkeys

 

[Cyberpunkd]

It will always be cheaper on cdkeys

Historical low on Steam was 36€ vs. 45€ on CDKeys now.

They used to do sales up to 40% but idk if they will now, since it's already top 1 seller on steam ahead of the expansion launch.

 

[M1987]

I thought it was a lot cheaper than that

 

[Arsic]

Im NG+1. Shouldn’t scale too bad.
