General Videogame Thread

Can I make an odd comment.

The graphics for PS5 are superb, but anybody else find you only appreciate it when watching somebody else play. I find when you are that focused on a task within the game you don't appreciate the graphics. Weird take I know but sometimes you have to just stop said task in order to appreciate the scenery, especially in open world games.

Yep you don’t get much benefit from having a sword and going head to head with a boss magic will be the way most will go.

Watched someone on Twitch who does no hit run throughs he cleared it with about a dozen hits! he is unbelievable no shield just dodging at the right time being patient and using a bow the ice stomp and a magic sword.

I’m on level 57 had the ice stomp for a day and it’s the dogs bollocks.

All bosses all area’s link if you want to eventually kill all bosses and by the look of it will take months.

Jeez I knew there was plenty of bosses but that's just ridiculous lol
 
Any tips for beating magrit? I just cannot get put of the way of his attacks. Tried jumping, rolling etc but I just cannot beat him. I’ve mainly using magic on him trying to stay at distance, manage to get hits on him but then as soon as he attacks im just toast.

What level are you mate?

Maybe go do some dungeons and level up a little more, I beat Magrit 1st try and didn't have a problem. Also do you have a summon? I had the 3 Wolves early doors and they helped me a lot.

If you have the summon wolfs spell which you get within the first 30 minutes definitely use that.

He tends to aggro them first so you can do a few sneaky hits before he starts going for you

Like some days use a summons if not be patient read his moves and look at when you can hit him! Make sure you don’t let your stamina go to nothing when hitting, hit him once or twice then move out! Keep to his right!

This weapon helped me a lot here is the location

Hold it so when you press L2 it puts out a bed of ice! For me it ripped through most of the bosses

What did you respec towards mate? Loads using bleed builds and I seen a very good sleep 1 before which nearly instantly crit hits enemies looked cool.

Early game went bleed changed to faith now but it’s hard to judge some weapons you need a lot of faith Strength and intelligence plus mind vigor.

Looking at some of the bosses coming up also if you don’t have a lot of vigor you be dead with one hit.

Need to eventually get to the place where I can farm ruin for a few hours!
This place




To go up one level now I need 22k ruins.

The quest to get to it isn't that long mate.

Select it into your inventory where your flasks are mate and use the same button u do to heal yourself.

Summons are a life saver in some fights

Haha you've just answered the question that was driving me mad. Thought you summoned them using magic - L1/L2. Been trying all sorts of combinations and so simple that i just press square like using a potion. Im a dumb ass at times.

Lol glad to help mate. Make sure he has his attention on them and take a few shots whilst getting in and out.

You also get to upgrade your summons at the roundtable.

In later game keep an eye out for the Mimic tear summon it's absolutely insane at max level.
 
I'm towards the end of elden ring now, doing other things before I go and do what u presume is the end or at least very near.

First thing to say is the game just doesn't stop surprising me with how big it is, some obscure entrance leads to a giant sprawling area with sub areas off of that and the vast majority will miss it completely. This doesn't just happen once, it's repeatedly happening to me and I've nowhere near fully explored. I'm currently avoiding any spoilers on the Internet, it's much more enjoyable finding thiggs on your own, but I suspect when I look online before I finish the game for places I may have missed I'll likely find even more. Reminds me of dark souls 1 a lot in that respect only back then there wasn't spoilers everywhere and finding areas felt even more exclusive.

I have had this problem since the very beginning, I'm not hearing many people say the same so maybe I inadvertently build a boss slaying monster but I'm smashing bosses nearly always first go and struggling much more on common enemies. Other than having to farm about 15-20 levels for into stats I'm not using to do radahn, the only boss in the game I had trouble with, I haven't farmed levels so I'm not especially overlevelled and I'm still get 1 combo killed by a lot of enemies despite putting a lot of points into my health but I can just waltz into any boss fight and its over within a minute, even the supposed hardest bosses in the game have been an absolute breeze and sadly it's really trivialised the latter 3rd of the game for me. All I've got is an early game katana, early game ashes and the mimic summons and it just wrecks everything.

There's also a heavy over reliance on ultra aggressive enemies to provide the challenge, most of them just do not relent, you either have to kill them quickly and flawlessly before they even get close or you're just dead, there's no in between most of the time, it's a step down in enemy design from other souls games in my eyes.

I would strongly suggest people don't farm runes and over level no matter how tempting it is, if you're stuck, there's likely an area you haven't visited or missed that's more approachable and you'll naturally level up whilst doing that, i can't imagine how easy the game would be if you're stupidly high level late game and without the challenge, it loses a lot of its appeal.
 
Why I’m taking my time with Elden ring, I look at the map to see if there any buildings lined or a small circle I just get on my horse and slowly look everywhere in the area! On level 67 because been helping others with the bosses! Still feel I’m a long way the end also like looking for the npc to get there story loving the game!

People say the second run game +2 is better you keep all your weapons and everything apart form the Boss remembrance.

It's impossible to find everything, I found myself going back to earlier areas for other reasons and then finding things I had missed, sadly they don't scale and are piss easy making them pointless to go back to really at this point so the best way in my eyes is to be as thorough as possible first time to get the most out of it.

What area/boss are you upto at level 67?

New game + has always typically been when the real souls games start but I'm not sure that's the case with this, I think the open nature of the game lends to getting most things done in a single playthrough. I've not heard of there being as much of a reason as other souls games to do multiple playthroughs which makes sense given how much bigger the game is than anything else they've ever done.
