TheLeon Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I started a new game yesterday morning, and I’m already on my way to the Capital with 2 Great Runes in hand. I’ll slow way down when I have to go back to work on Wednesday, but I’ll be ready to go by next weekend for sure. ALL ABORD THE HYPE TRAIN!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m at the Godskin twins Man I really hated those two the first time through. I can lend a hand if you want it, I'm level 340 and can stomp most enemies in the base game, even with my average skills.

gamer.tv Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I think I’m ready to actually give the base game a proper go and see if the freedom allows me to overcome my shite gaming skills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a VERY good day, I am a very average gamer. Elden Ring has enough wiggle room to reward the patient as well as the skilled. As always, the early game is often the hardest portion as you equipment and skills are at their most limited. If you persevere though, the difficultly will ease up, with a few rough spikes here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Bought it for PS5 but I haven't started my playthrough yet. I should probably get on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will be ok. Elden Ring is the first souls game i actually beat! If you hit one wall, just ride off into a whole new area of the map and explore. Before you know it, you are leveling up getting stronger and learning new skills along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 2 hours ago, Mr.Vic20 said: This is not HYPE, please try again! I'm just not good at games so this is just intimidating to me. I know you say you're average but I'm even below that skill level. So it’s not something I actually look forward to. I'm sure for those that were successful in the base game will have a great time with the dlc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 For those wondering about preload - on PS5 its 48 hours before launch. PC and Xbox kids have to wait for launch, no pre-load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Went ahead and sped through Varre’s quest to shortcut to Mohg, which is also the zone with that very useful farming spot, so actually I’m very close to being ready to access the DLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Just pointing out you have to beat Mohg (also mentioned in the OP) to start the dlc and he was optional - so if you weren’t trying to beat all the bosses don’t assume you are ready! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need to acclimate myself back to the gameplay loop of this game after Lies of P, Rise of the Ronin and Wo-Long... all games that play faster than this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eventide11 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I've purposely not played ER the last few months even though I've wanted to so it can be a little more of a 'new' experience for me. But if just remember how to parry and roll I should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 It feels so go good to be back in The Lands Between. Between yesterday and today I’ve played 15 hours. I can’t think of the last time I’ve gone that hard on one game. Honestly, it was probably back at the launch of Elden Ring. 3 hours ago, Mr.Vic20 said: It seems like you need to participate in a little more "Turtlecide"!

They long for death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I haven't played in so long that I'm pretty sure I'm just going to use the mimic tear and steamroll bosses instead of actually trying lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cusideabelincoln Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I'll attempt to play the DLC on my first character which is on NG+3 or 4, but if it's scaled too much I'll fall back to a fresh character where I'm currently collecting all items and a little over halfway through the game. Most of the quests are about done which took up a lot of time with all of the running back and forth. I think I'll only need to farm the ugly frog people to upgrade weapons and buy items; it's just too tedious to do it for leveling up.
