Date: May 30th, 2025 12:59 PM Author: ocher queen of the night meetinghouse Another oldfaq here. It took 20 hours of practice, but I got to minimal proficiency in Elden ring. At that point I could do guard counters, back stabs, jump attacks, and mounted attacks, and then the game hooked me. I can't imagine better fantasy gaming.

Date: May 30th, 2025 1:07 PM Author: 180 seedy ape doctorate I've always been shitty at it (never got into any of the original souls games) but the game gives you tons and tons of options to basically adjust the difficulty as you see fit. The depth of play is hugely underrated, playing a caster build was way more fun than I expected (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5731364&forum_id=2thread_id=599411#48973820) |

Date: May 30th, 2025 1:10 PM Author: 180 seedy ape doctorate Yeah it's baffling to me that the game as a whole was so well done and they dropped the ball on basic shit like this. It doesn't support framegen without mods and the game (which came out three years ago) is basically unplayable at max settings unless you have a 5090. adds black bars if you try to play in 21:9 despite simple mods being able to unlock it. etc (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5731364&forum_id=2thread_id=599411#48973830) |

Date: June 2nd, 2025 5:32 PM Author: 180 seedy ape doctorate - there are no difficulty sliders, the game is balanced around how much you want to take advantage of the various crutches it offers. this means you don't run into the game essentially breaking once you reach a certain level (whether its due to becoming too easy or a sudden difficulty spike) as the devs can more carefully balance each area/encounter knowing it's one-size-fits-all (numberswise at least)
- the open world genuinely sucks you in and makes you want to explore. it's beautiful, the player is frequently rewarded with some kooky encounter or powerful item a bit off the beaten path, and generally speaking the game has a good amount of variety. yeah there's still a bit too much copypasta in that some minor encounters are repeated too often, but these are the exception, not the rule. for the most part every area feels incredibly unique, and it's sort of revolutionary in that it feels like the first fantasy game to really envelop the player in an open world
- related to above, there's no "DOTHISTHINGLOOKHEREANEXCLAMATIONPOINTFOLLOWTHEOBJECTIVE" clutter/bullshit you get with most AAA open-world games
the main downsides are that some of the systems in the game are a too obfuscated for new players, there's a bit of a learning curve (and tribal knowledge when it comes to stuff like "caster-based builds are easier"), the engine optimization is absolute garbage, and if you do get sucked and end up exploring quite a bit in it's really fucking long (I think I clocked something like 90 hours on my playthrough) |

Date: June 2nd, 2025 7:11 PM Author: stimulating locus regret Sounds kinda fun
Is the game still fun sober? In my experience games like rpgs and path of exile etc are basically only fun when you’re on weed and I’m retired from weed now |

Date: June 2nd, 2025 7:29 PM Author: 180 seedy ape doctorate yeah it's a single player game, not an online grindfest
I think it would actually suck to play high anyway. would creep me out + you need half decent reaction time |
