I'm not prone to hyperbole but this may turn out to be the best game ever made.

Managed to get a sneaky hour in before heading out for dinner, went Prisoner and played to the church just to get the initial part done (didn't speed through, but did play the network test so it's familiar). Going to have a very long session tomorrow evening/night.

Um this just popped up on my recommendations. That's not indicative of the standard of animation on the bosses is it?

That's a very different boss, it's a weird statue that is very intentional and not indicative of the animation of other enemies and bosses.

Yeah it's deliberate, it's a weird fucking automaton.

It's deliberate and I loved it because it was so wonderfully odd.
Can you spoiler it as its a boss? Even though its a wee one.

So how do you summon the steed? I have added the item to my pouch but have no idea what button activates it! It's an item that looks a bit like a ring. If you examine it with the square button, it'll say in the description Yep got the item and added it to my pouch. Problem is I can’t see how you activate items in your pouch. Either I missed the tip or am being dense😁

Can't believe how many of you cunts have direspected the game and given you characters stupid names.
Blind Steve is ashamed of you.

First impressions: none. Still waiting on my pre-ordered download code to actually come through... for fuck's sake!

Just found a knight in the castle who kept killing me. Manage to beat him by sneaking into the room he was in and backstabbing him. Then legged it out the room, waited for him to de-agro and then snuck back in and backstabbed him again. I’ve done loads so far and it says I’ve completed 2% of the game.

I love how you can be a completely sneaky bastard in this! I was out in the wilderness in the starting area just stabbing knights in the back as they were on patrol, even though I could have blasted them with magic, mwahaha.

Got the intro boss to 10%, got called on my phone and distracted then died..... I think if you want it dead go samurai. Not that hard and maybe requires 5 tries.
Sadly can't play till tuesday, best of luck all and have fun! You can put a asterisk behind my name. I hope to help others later next week!

Sounds like a Souls game alright! Also the movement in this game is really fantastic for a souls game. It feels a lot smoother and more precise than any of the previous ones to me, like really flowing. Jumping helps for sure.

That's terrible advice Wunty, they will wake up tomorrow and he will have the same problem.
Sell them on the internet, you will have more money and more free time.

I’m definitely starting notes. I had a whole notebook I kept for PS3 Demon’s which I found recently.
This’ll be via Notability, title- Elden Ring: Praise The Bum.

A little overwhelmed at the start. But slowly remembering everything again. Haven’t played a souls game in a good 3/4 years.

Just seen and accepted the PS5 friend request (I'm a bit slow on the uptake with this kind of thing, for starters I realised a week ago people couldn't even send me requests). Cheers!
My younger son shares my account - for some reason he won't start his own. So any CoD etc. is him. All Elden Ring is me :-) I'm going back on at 22.00ish CET (21.00 UK), hoping to finally best Margit. I'm not sure what the etiquette is, but if anyone happens to be around and at a loose end, send me a message, happy to coop. Happy to join something too, if you want a muppet dragging you down.

I don’t mind giving you a hand with Margit if you need it. Let me know if you struggle. I should still be around. Only beat Margit once though.

Not sure if you're serious, dear old monkman, but I've not seen a single Series X game that loads nearly as fast as PS5 games do. In Ghost of Tsushima, or Nioh 2, or Resident Evil, or Forbidden West, the load times are *literally* a couple of seconds. It's amazing. Most are within a second or two of PS5's load times. Sometimes it's even faster on Xbox. PS5's SSD might be faster on paper but in practice there's not much between them. Xbox version just seems less optimized as a whole with this game though, with the 10 lower fps any given moment on XSX. In the DF video for the Network Test the Xbox load times fared much better, they've increased by more than 50% for the full game amazingly. Even a PC with a much slower SSD drive than the Xbox Series consoles loads considerably faster, just a second or two behind the PS5. No real reason for it to be honest, the Xbox versions in general are a bit of a shit show to be honest, good old From Software.

Not sure I like my samurai.
Got my 'fg' password set but presume it's locked to the platform?
