elden ring finally downloaded so i played maybe 40 minutes?

I spent like 20 - 30 minutes creeping around the place scared of everything, then a guard finally notices me and I fend him off muuuch easier. the game is a hell of a lot easier when you have played Bloodborne, apparently

i have started playing this. I think I "get it" but man I am spending a lot of time just running around

Yeah I know theres a hugerier boss and two or more huge horse dudes but my choice of dex early on gave me a tiny loving sword thats barely longer than my arm. so like im incredibly efficient at killing in the small but the horse dudes i got no chance with, and absolutely zero idea how to level up or where i need to be going. im gonna have to find a fuckin guide or something because ????

i go into a fight with a horse dude and I only do papercuts. But swordmen (except for the unexpectedly agile polearm guy with the large shield. gently caress him) are effortlessly dispatched :confused:

I feel like previous fromsoft games had better damage scaling tbh

if that’s who I think then yeah horse man is hard and I went around him

the world in this game is so unearthly it’s quite amazing. and there’s a lot I want to like about this game, but I do hope it’s more than just running around killing things

i’ve been playing more now. I think i get it, but I am
not very good at it, i’m running around most enemies lol. I need to scale a but. getting torrent is going to make it better for exploring too

Yeah, I realised on the map that it's trying to lead me to the boss in the fort thingy, but I've not been able to defeat the super paladin guy with the huge fuckin shield yet so :shrug: The enemies in the other directions are way, way more effort to kill so maybe I should just go for it :( I'v already stumbled on several other huge fuckin bosses including a dragon, just by being haphazard and refusing to take the highlighted path lmao

I've been able to figure out how to use the bow and arrow, finally. Which has made it a bit easier to just target a single enemy and draw them out to deal with them

Protip: you can hit L1/L2 to attack on the left side when you're on Torrent, and I'd honestly recc upgrading stats asap id you haven't
