Sure, tons of people are playing as their first. Just make sure you know what youre getting into.

If youre on PS5, Bloodborne is free for PS+ users. So you can try that out as well before dropping $60.

If you don't mind buying a full price game, go for it.

If you pay attention to what the menus tell you and aren't afraid to look stuff up when you don't know it, you'll have a (hopefully) great time

I’m on ps4 ,my system been collecting dust for the past month cause there’s been nothing I’ve been interested in

I feel like a challenge will keep me locked in tbh

Def get it then if ur really interested. Its better overall on PS4 too atm, im also playing on there.

If you need help theres also tons of resources like this thread!

Just remember the game is not an AC type game, u will not be able to take more than 1 enemy realistically early on, n the game is suppose to be challenging. Be patient, try different stuff out n explore.

Ur hardest or most confusing FS game is usually ur first so dont worry or be upset if thats what happens.

Game is like BOTW x Skyrim with Dark Souls on top.

Say less bro thank you !! About to download it now , you got me hyped

Go for it man. Again make sure to pay attention to what the game tells you. A lot of people skip past stuff or don't understand how a lot of the systems work and make the game TOO challenging. Some dude in here was several hours into the game and didn't even know how to level up yet, when that typically happens very early. Someone else didn't like the combat, but it was actually because their equipment was too heavy and slow.

If you take your time through the game and ask questions, you'll be okay

No problem n good luck

Thank you , I’ll make sure to pay attention to everything one thing that I was seeing is that the game isn’t easy at all which is part of the reason why I got interested and also because it’s something different for me

Same here

Ofc bro, some quick tips:

• Don't be afraid to look up stuff if you are confused.

• I think the easiest starter class would be Vagabond as its a simply sword+shield build with high health. An alternative would be Confessor or Prisoner if you want to try some magic.

• Don't be afraid to explore. Early on, you WILL come across enemies that are simply TOO hard. This is the game teaching you that its okay to do something else and come back when you're stronger. The game is best when you do the side content alongside or before the main story, not after.

• The game is VERY LONG, easily reaching 80-100+ hours on your first playthrough. If you find yourself trying to rush through things, take a break and come back later.

Hope you enjoy it bro, and don't forget to download Bloodborne on your PS4 if you like Elden Ring. It is equally as good, although with some differences

Server disconnected in the middle of the boss, f***ing hell.

Just noticed this in patchnotes:

"Fixed a bug that allows player to activate Erdtree Greatshield’s weapon skill without absorbing an attack using a special combination of item and incantation."

Thats ass smh

That combo was so dope

Not in PVP

Oh lmao i can see that, i havent done pvp but they would be a literal tank with a cannon n all

In pve it isnt that overpowered except against basic enemies n npc enemies

Yeah for PVE it looks fun as hell

In PVP mfs be chilling with a spear to attack while blocking when you're close, and when you try to heal they would hit you with the missile from range

People are saying they nerfed Mimic Tear

It's still strong

Nah I meant horse jumping throws you straight into the fight lol

Only found out about the ladder after the fight

Damn i haven’t even used it yet 😭

ARCANE HAS BEEN FIXED

lemme hit this respec real quick

mimic tear nerfed

hoarfrost stomp, bloody slash, flame of night and sword nerfed
