Nikushimi Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 1 hour ago, 0verlord said: it actually helps. Here’s how - 1) I am not counting i-frames. I am getting used to the timing of i-frames. Timing - that’s the important bit 2) by weight, I don’t mean literal weight. Weight here means how responsive the character movement feels. I am very used to Tsushima and Halo right now. They have much different responsiveness or “weight” compared to Elden Ring movement I last played Halo @ 120fps and Taushima @ locked 60. It takes time to get used to uneven fps in XSX 3) Tree looks a very standard training boss - a good practice of basics is important while starting a Fromsoft game Agree on the first 2 points, but Tree Sentinel is not a standard training boss. While he can be killed early, you're not supposed to take him on early game. This can be seen by the requirements of the Halbred he drops. It requires a minimum of 30 STR just to wield it. He is placed there to make you unlearn the tendencies instilled in you by other games. In most other games, when you see a foe in your path, you are supposed to engage him. In souls games since there is no hand holding in where to go and whom to fight, you often come across enemies that are way stronger and you will be ill equipped to fight them at that point. A lot of new players come across these enemies and try to fight them getting killed over and over again. This then paints an image that Souls games are unfair and impossibly difficult. Just move past them or go to a different location. If you feel like something is unfair or impossibly difficult, there is always going to be some other place you should be going at your current level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never gave up on any boss, however hard or impossible it may be and I enjoy that quite a bit because I end up perfecting the skills required for a near-perfect play for my level and it is also very thrilling and pulse-pounding Edited March 4, 2022 by 0verlord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikushimi Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 The Elden Ring subreddit is now a gold mine of memes and funny stuff related to the game. Just a PSA for anyone playing the game and understands the references. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Got the game today. Almost made up my mind to play as Samurai. Will probably pick up sheild later to parry.

I actually started as a mage character but then got bored of just staying in range and spamming spells. Really wanted to try the new melee mechanics such as guard counters, jumping power attacks, ashes of war etc. Started a new Samurai character and have been having a blast since then. Magic might look flashy and is very safe and easier than melee. But for me melee is more fun and engaging. The Samurai is great class with melee and ranged options to lure out enemies one by one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is doing as good as a mainstream franchise would do. From Software has kept on improving all these years. This one is a near perfect game. Beyond expectations and well deserved. High hopes they keep up with their work and keep entertaining us with these awesome games. 5 hours ago, gamer_adi said: Hasn't FROM games already gone mainstream with Dark Souls 3?

Actually mage is not just spamming spells at distance. They are fragile unlike any other classes who can take f**kups damage and still stand. With that you have to be always on you toes, can't take any mistakes while you have to learn attack patters and use spells accordingly. Melee has always been in souls and magic class was very underwhelming but this time the magic and incantations are so vast the you would keep trying new abilities on enemies. You could do guard counters, jumping attacks and have many ashes of war in game. You also can make a mage/melee character with mage class. There are no limitations. Not boring at all.
