February 24th, I'm going to wake up, make some breakfast, take my dog for a walk, look out my window while I sip some coffee, maybe exercise a little(probably not) and wait patiently for Elden Ring to unlock. I think it'll be a fine day for many of us.

The more I hear about all the online issues the more nervous I get. Please Miyazaki don't delay at the last minute. I hope he knows a bunch of us scheduled PTO to play when it's supposed to be released.

I won't get it until the 26th and my workmates want to have a games night and I didn't have the guts to tell them to gently caress off because Elden Ring is out.

Can we still run back, if we want to?

I failed, I deserve punishment and to think about what I did wrong

you can in fact. when you die near a stake of marika, you get given the option of respawning nearby at the stake or back at the last site of grace. the runback could be more inconvenient than ever though given the size of the world

Runbacks were a crutch before From got good at making bosses. Sekiro didn't have them (except for some minibosses but I assume this is also true in elden ring)

I haven't exactly hyperanalyzed the footage, but I noticed stakes around basically everything. Starts of small overworld dungeons that were basically just a tunnel to a boss, outside of boss fogs, ten feet away from a jail boss out in the open, etc. It's a pretty elegant solution to always having a checkpoint but not having the map obscured by fast travel markers. I'm sure they will be called out as trash for babies and not TRUE SOULS EXPERIENCE.

Spears are my favorite melee weapon in other media. Santier's Spear is my all-time favorite in DS2 for wild versatility. DS3 had the Ringed Knight Spear, but outside of those they're all stodgy pokes and thrusts with low damage, not the wuxia Crouching Tiger sweeping nonsense that is much more entertaining. Gimme some fun glaives, From!

But barring that, the humble claymore is what commonly carries me through the early game portion. If one shows up early in ER it's probably a real safe choice to upgrade.
