If you wanted this game to come out like a year later, maybe. Holy poo poo I can't believe people are complaining about the visuals.

I honest to god hope there is no minimap at all, or it's a cumbersome paper map that takes like 10 seconds to unfold and pauses the game.

I'll probably never again be as hyped for a game as I was for MGSV but Im getting close.

Lol I'm right there with you. My hype levels are reaching MGSV status and I'm worried

I don't think it's been pointed out yet ITT that invasions are only possible against co-op players:

https://fextralife.com/elden-ring-new-gameplay-breakdown-impressions-mechanics-revealed-multiplayer-pvp-armor-weapons-stats#pvp

quote:

PvP: The Big Surprise
PvP works much the same way as in Souls games, allowing players to invade the game world of others in most locations in Elden Ring. You can also place a dueling stone down, like you could in Dark Souls 3, in those cases you want to challenge other players directly.

Initially it was made clear there would be no mounted combat in PvP, but what was confusing was that you could be invaded on the over world so how would that work if players were already mounted. Well now we know the answer to that question!

Invaders will never invade a mounted player, because players cannot be mounted in cooperative play. That is to say, you can only invade players that are cooperating, not players who are alone. (Of course there’s a duel item for those who wish to summon invaders)

This is a controversial decision to be sure, and one that will likely send more than a few hardcore PvP players over the edge, but one that From Software was quick to clarify has not been finalized. If I had to guess, I’d wager they may want to see how the community responds to the news, to gauge whether they are more for or against this change. I’d urge those who have something to say about it to post in the comments, as it is very likely these will be read by either From Software or Bandai Namco in order to gather information regarding this topic. If you do opt for giving feedback, remember to provide options and alternatives rather than demand things be made as before.

But this is something you might actually end up doing (if you want to), since there is crafting and there's all sorts of animals, like deer, birds, etc. and the crafting screen showed 'thin animal bones' as one of the items needed to make arrows.

I didn’t totally love the look of the first area, it has this washed out brownish yellow tinge that I find kind of unappealing. Going by the gameplay preview there will be a nice variety to the locales so it’s a pretty minor complaint and I think the game overall looks great.

DS2 was my first Souls game and it hooked me hard. When I went back to play DS1 I was pretty underwhelmed, so I actually like 2 more than 1 which seems like an unpopular opinion.

Illusory Wall put out a video explaining a pretty neat feature that I haven't heard talked about : Group passwords. You can set a community password separate from the normal online password, which causes summon signs, messages, phantoms etc to appear different for people in your group and it doesn't block out the general public, so we could set up a goon password and still be able to engage in regular online coop/pvp etc.

Dark Souls has a lot of levels with good ideas but playing it after the later games feels pretty bad. Like the only areas I actually enjoyed playing were the Undead Burg/Parish and Sen's fortress, everything else was kinda boring or just frustrating.
