You should just play elden ring because it’s a really fun game not worry about fans or whatever. There’s a reason why it’s beloved.

Also it’s not a 100+ hour game. I mean it COULD BE if you choose to do that but you can beat the game in less time.

I think Vikar Jerome is at 300 hours and hasnt beat ER yet

I'm reading reviews of Elden Ring to see if I want to give it a go. I'm currently playing Fallen Order and enjoying it, even if parts of it require a bit more trial and error than I would like. I'm told the combat is Soul's-like and I can see why, the game is not forgiving if you miss a parry or make a mistake (I'm playing on Jedi Master) but its the exploration that I love the most, feels very metroidvanian in that respect.

Anyway the reason why I post this is I'm noticing that Fromsoft fans, at least online, have got to be some of the most obnoxious in gaming. Every review that praises the game, say's its great and blah blah, but then mentions a few things that frustrated the player or could be improved upon, queue a brigade of FromSoft fans piling in to comment on the review to tell the reviewer that they suck, or Soul's games are for REAL gamers , or how DARE you say this game isn't perfect in absolutely every way no criticisms allowed ever!

It makes it very hard for someone like me, who has never really played the games before, to judge if an aspect of the game is a weakness or if it's perfectly designed and that's just the way it is. I'll be up front, I love games where I can just explore a world, discover secrets, uncover lore, etc but also I'm generally terrible at combat and I like it when games gift me different ways to approach it, or even avoid it. It's why my favorite games of all time are titles like Deus Ex, BotW, The Witcher, anything Metroid, etc.

I just beat Jedi fallen order and it was harder than Elden ring I thought, the last boss took me a few more attempts than the last boss in Elden ring. But they’re quite different and I’ve also played all of the other souls games.

Fallen Order’s button mapping is pretty annoying because attack and dodge are both face buttons. You have to choose which one your thumb rests on, unlike in Souls games where you can have fingers on each since attack is a shoulder button. I often found myself missing a dodge or attack with Fallen Order’s last boss because I had my thumb on the other action and the window would close in the split second it took to reposition my thumb. It really made me appreciate the thought that goes into Souls games.

There are literally hundreds of games where attack and dodge are both on face buttons, including the best and fastest type (the character action game).

If you have Hitman 3 on PS4 then you can download the PS5 version, it's automatically unlocked

Edit: in a few weeks it will become "The World of Assassination" and any Hitman 1 or 2 base content you don't already have will be available (the DLC will still need to be purchased)

Edit 2: oh wait i think you still need to purchase the Hitman 1 or 2 access passes if you don't have the base games

Yes, basically having a copy of Hitman 3 is the cleanest way, then you can just buy the access passes in-game

https://www.ioi.dk/hitman-3-to-world-of-assassination/

Edit: OK, fully studying this document, Best Value would be to wait for the World of Assassination and pay 70USD for all three games' base content. I guess if you can find a used copy of Hitman 3 for cheap you could probably get better value

Yeah it was actually partially this, because I had started it a while ago and picked it back up this month, and I forgot that dodging was a thing until I realized there were basically perilous attacks from Sekiro in the game, but mostly it just felt like the timing for parries was hard to grasp, the way enemies telegraph attacks is kind of weird, especially the last boss, and overall the character controller is just sloppy, the whole game is really buggy, I couldn’t believe it. It’s probably the buggiest triple A game I’ve ever played.

I recently posted in this thread about how hard it is to understand what you have to do to get all of the Hitman content in hitman 3, and someone replied and said it’s not really that difficult, but their explanation wasn’t that easy to understand, and my point was that it’s just way more complicated than it needs to be.

Let’s talk the parry system in FO.
I’ve seen a few Soul’s veterans claim it’s parry system is broken or flawed compared to Soul’s games, but I’ve seen others claim the opposite. That it’s easier than in Soul’s games!

As I’ve said I’ve never played a Soul’s game before so can’t compare, but the parry system does feel off. I know I’m supposed to Parry before the enemy strikes but goddamn does it feel like a crap shoot. At least at higher difficulties.

I’ve given up trying to parry and as a result my deaths have decreased significantly. Slow + dodge is the way to go.

Is there anything different from just getting the ps4 version and upgrading?

Whether or not rest mode puts your console at risk or shortens its lifespan is a perennial dumb argument ITT

Not too long ago someone started a rumor that keeping your console in vertical orientation was also dangerous, but that’s not credible any more
