Unlikely through the complexity of the systems in place alone.

Easy Allies' Brad had the best impressions since he kept spoilers to a minimum. I'm glad they're going the extra mile to keep the sense of discovery since pointers and constant reminder markers just make the world exhausting to explore.
Ashes of War reminds me of the Mushin Combat Arts in Sekiro and the poise break attacks sound like the counters in Bloodborne. Also, I hope the Samurai NPC is someone I can kill for his armor and weapon set or find it in the world since I don't want to be LOTR/Game of Thrones guy for the game.

there was a leak a while ago where the guy knew the name of the boss (only now we know correct) that is at the very end of the CNT.
Spoke about all kinds of things like a number of weapon slots, talismans etc. I believe he said the "samurai" is a starting class (uchgatana+bow)

Nice. Expanding on the kinds of builds you can do and the general roleplay setting is the best way to go for the next evolution of Dark Souls IMO.

After 10 hours with Elden Ring, I'm not sold on the open world
Elden Ring's freeform exploration is liberating, but there sure is a lot of empty space.

Watched Vaati’s video. It’s basically pornographic enough to be on PornHub.

Jeez… that sorcerer build is OP as fuck, eh?
The game has the same framepacing problems than DS and Bloodborne saga. Playing this at 30fps it’s like playing other 25-30fps feeling

that's not what the source I quoted said. What's yours?

Hey props for him saying the obvious about some of the enemies, but other than that, I am super hyped to get lost in that World for a long, long time.
My source are my eyes, the few streams on PS4 have bad framepacing. Soon you will watch technical videos about this.

This one here, if anyone want to know all the details about the game see this video, the guy actually goes out of his way to enumerate everything topic by topic, there is really deep info here.

Have you even watched any video? The game is incredibly dense and littered with dungeons, sights, camps, secrets and things to discover.

After watching some videos I'm totally reassured. In the single zone of the map available there's only one main obligatory boss (with amazing art) but many optional ones, mostly hidden, including the dragon. There's several dungeons, camps, encounters, some NPC, animals to hunt for crafting etc. It's not empty, and at the same time there's not a clutter of ? and ! on the map, you must carve your own way.
Combat feel like the best of DS, with dual wield, power stance, many weapons, spells, summons and so on. Mounted combat seem fun, with great animations and add new tactics.
I've always loved Fromsoft games since Demon's Souls, at first glance Elden Ring could feel like just more of the same but now I'm convinced it has its own feel and atmosphere, with some Shadow of the Colossus vibe among many things and lots of exploration and secrets.
Graphics wise, well i can't wait to play the Bluepoint remake in 10 years on PS7 ! ... I'm joking ^^ ; The art direction is awesome as always, this time it"s a bit more colorful with live wild animals.

...no self-control whatsoever. Yep I think I have most of the CNT spoiled by now.
Enchanted Knight as a STR/INT hybrid class looks just perfect but it makes the game too easy by the sound of it... Also shame it's the only class you can cast spells, and buy new ones until very very late?
I guess I'm going with the warrior.

Bastard. I misread that as 'it's live' so sprinted into my living room to try it and it's still not live.

Game looks great. We all know it's going to be amazing, and I'm really looking forward to the openworld aspect.
My only complaint is the lack of original visual identity. If I didn't know this game existed, and somebody showed me the trailer and said it was Dark Souls 4, I would have believed them.
It just looks so much like Dark/Demon's Souls, but I wish it had an original style like the Steampunk of Bloodborne, or the Asian setting of Sekiro.
Besides that this game is a day one. It also pains me to say this as I don't want to purchase games and would prefer if they all came to Gamepass/PS Now day one, but I'm going to have to purchase this one.

So this doesn't seem to feature the same CC of Demon Souls Remake? Just basing this on the few character faces (be it player or NPC) I could catch.

Elden Ring is upon us. As with FROM previous games, a filter to all shared world elements can be set in a form of a network password. I don't know anyone IRL who plans to play it, so how about this: let's make a shared world of our own so we can slay enemies together when we're not murdering...

Watched a couple of videos last night of the area's bosses and gameplay.
It looks just beyond fantastic.
I can not wait to see what other locations there are in the game.
Also, the horse combat, it adds a whole new level of fun and depth to the game.
Fans of Dark souls games have got it made.

So far, the only people I've read who are cautious and feel that the world feels empty and bland are the folks over at PC Gamer. Not one, but THREE 'cautious' previews who sound disappointed with what they played.
