Sure no problem. I'll finish the demo to see how much they allow us to play but as of this moment, it doesn't seem very grindy. Loot so far isn't random (I'm getting armor instead of say, an animal skin, from defeating a human enemy). | ||

In terms of items, it was basically the ol' loot&shoot/ARPG style loot where you'd get an armor drop and it'd have random stats on it, so you would likewise benefit from simply grinding for gear. From an endgame grind perspective it was probably fine, but going through the story/campaign it felt like added random bulk that was more demotivating than anything else, personally. I'm familiar with the concept. The stats I've seen from the drops are similar and isn't anything too random. I'm thinking in terms of like, crafting materials instead of armor/weapon drops. That would irritate me. Since this is the demo and I can't really see how enemies scale, I don't have an opinion on that at the moment. There's one mini boss that was lvl 16 and I was lvl 15. Didn't beat it but I think that's more of my gear than the boss being crazy hard to beat. The main boss so far has a second phase and I am definitely not equipped leveled to really take on that second phase. This demo area is pretty small and there doesn't seem to be a lot of enemies to farm unless you just want to respawn a lot to get over leveled. And for this area....doesn't seem necessary. There just isn't a lot for us to do atm (probably why I should treat the demo as such and just go on a power fantasy and be OP). | ||

https://www.eldenring.jp/newsdetail/news_detail_230228_1.html As a total FromSoftware fanboy, my year is basically made between this and Armored Core VI. I say this as so far this year, I have finished Bloodborne, started replaying Sekiro, and have also begun playing the Demon's Souls remake. Keeping my PS5 busy for sure. | ||

Having just beat Elden Ring, I'm excited lol. 125 hours on my first playthrough. Gonna run it back later when the dlc is closer. Got Wo Long and a ton of other games to keep me busy until then. | ||

No chance. They haven't sold enough of the base to justify a pro yet imo. Maybe next year or the year after. Gotta saturate the market first lol. Besides, the pro will be even more expensive so they're not gonna do it just yet. E: there's also diminishing returns in releasing a pro that would be marginal upgrade over what the base can do atm. What would the pro offer? 8k graphics? No games for that. Faster SSD? You can buy additional already. Slimmer profile? Really, who fucking cares. I just don't see what they can improve on. | ||

I thought more along the lines of GPU and VRAM. Cause that is what you need for VR if I'm not mistaken | ||

k.... For customers in Germany - Once zombies are defeated, players can no longer deal damage to or further dismember zombie corpses. USK players can play co-op sessions with international players through friend invites and joining friends. For public matchmaking, USK players can only play with other USK players. | ||

From a gameplay perspective, it's rather "straightforward" in that it isn't open world and you just roam around doing whatever you want. There's a story being told and it guides you along the path. The controls are pretty smooth and I haven't encountered anything really messed up in my play through. I can't tell you how many hours I've put in so far, but it's a lot haha. UI goes away when not in battle and even during fights, it's unobtrusive. So no unnecessary clutter there. Graphics are immaculate. I think the scaling is fine, you mostly start at the base minimum for the area and work your way up, and enemies scale with you. For the most part anyway. The bosses are tough as shit. Like, I'm getting clapped by mini bosses and it's pissing me off. I personally don't think I'm doing enough damage even though I'm lvl 40. They don't tell you the bosses level, but some feel like they are at least 10+ levels than you are. Might be a skill issue on my part as well haha! Inventory management could be better (I want to sort by rarity but every time I exit and go back, it's changed to "date of obtainment" which is...meh. You more or less have enough of everything you need to beat an area at any given point, so it's not like the game is being stingy. Again, some fights are easy, and some fights, I just blast through resources because the boss is just too tanky and mechanics are really fucking tight. At this point, part 4 of the game, I'd rate the game 8.5/10 or 9/10. I'm enjoying myself, flaws in all. | ||
