Enjoy, it’s an amazing experience

Really getting the urge to play from games again with ER coming up

When a new one comes, do you guys play the others to get into the zone or avoid them so that you don’t fall into getting used to instinctual muscle memory with game mechanics that may make you stumble in the new game?

Like I remember going right into sekiro after dark souls 3 on the same day, I had to unlearn and unteach myself so much stuff

I might go on a from detox and dive 10000% into Elden ring

I don’t like playing other from games right before a new one comes out, i want that from experience to be as fresh as possible, but i think you’ll be fine either way. Maybe play a souls like instead of a fromsoft game, same genre ( kinda ) but different feeling. Nioh 1 and 2, mortal shell and Jedi Fallen Order are pretty good

Keep meaning to pull the trigger on nioh 1 or 2!! More than enough time before February to give them a go

Yeah I replayed DS3 before Sekiro too and been playing it again a bit lately

They’re amazing games!

so my pothead ass fell asleep while the disc was downloading. then I had to go to work so I just started but it just feels way more robust already.

I chose Assassin.

already love the better ai and everything. they learned a lot between the first game and 3 so I can tell I'm going to have a blast. plus this runs better than Bloodborne on my base ps4 lolol.

edit: Estoc is so ass though need to get a new weapon asap

Dont think I ever used that weapon lol. I usually go with an ultra greatsword or the twinblades in DS3.

it's my starting weapon cuz of Assassin but I find it's moveset bad and boring.

also my God the enemies be way more aggressive haha. Gotta play this like Bloodborne.

yeah it has way more in common with bloodborne than ds 1 or 2

there's an L2 moveset two handing loving this game so much already. gameplay is so refined

I’m trying to decide between demon souls remake and dark souls remastered. They’re both on sale rn

Any insights?

Dark Souls remastered is the best Souls game so prolly that

that s*** helped me out sooooo much in the DLC lmfao the lucerne’s light heavy light combo is the s***tttt

Haven't played either, but I'd go for Dark Souls. Don't think I'll ever play Demon Souls just because of how health works after you die

What do you mean with the health?

If you die you lose like 50% of your max health until you defeat the next boss or get summoned and help someone else beat a boss. I haven't played it so I'm not 100% sure but I don't think there's even an item or way to get that health back besides beating a boss.

If you die, your health gets cut to 50% until you kill a boss I think enemies also have slightly more health and do more damage.

You can reduce how much your health is reduced by with an item in the game, but I think punishing a player like this for dying in a Souls game would get old fast

Interesting

That mechanic sucks ass

having to level up at firelink is meh as hell though. was nice to do it in the bonfires. unless that's some later game unlock.

Just redownloaded DSR and was having a blast til I got cursed in the Depths, gonna have to call it quits for the night smh

Nope. Always at the Fire Keeper. DS1 is the only one where you level up at bonfires.

Apparently Priscilla was gonna be DS1's version of the Doll/Fire Keeper/Black Maiden etc but it was scrapped.

damn. I love me a From waifu but not like this

at least theoading isnt Bloodborne bad.
