General Videogame Thread

Talking of which, i've finally got back into The Witcher 3 and for the first time, i'm actually enjoying it. It's amazing how well it holds out graphics-wise on a PC considering it was released in 2015. The same goes for GTA V, both of these without mods still look great. I imagine if i installed some of the graphics mods then they would be amazing.
Next-gen update for Witcher 3 is due out this year, hopefully fairly soon. Will be on PC as well as the latest consoles.
 
Elden Ring everything the game has to offer.


Wander aimlessly through Elden Ring no longer with this handy interactive map

Elden Ring is From Software's biggest game by far. So vast is its world that the developer added an in-game map to help you get orientated in The Lands Between. But aside from highlighting areas you've already discovered, it doesn't contain that much detail. Even after wandering around for hours, there are still a lot of items and areas that you can miss in this sprawling peril-filled place.

Thanks to this interactive Elden Ring map by Mapgenie (via PC Gamer), you can now discover all that the game has to offer. It helpfully pinpoints everything from locations, including Sites of Grace and dungeons, to items and materials like Swordstone Keys and Smithing Stones. The map also highlights where to find weapons and Ashes of War for bolstering your build, as well as NPC and enemy locations. You can disable aspects that you don't want visible, and there's a search bar that allows you to instantly find what you're looking for.

Be warned that as this map contains information on all of Elden Ring's objects and inhabitants, it is something of a spoiler. If you'd rather discover things for yourself, then it's probably best to avoid it.

Detailing the locations of everything in Elden Ring is no mean feat, and the map is currently labelled as a 'work in progress', so some details might still be missing, particularly in the later areas of the game. As well as the Elden Ring map, Mapgenie has a host of other interactive maps for some of gaming's biggest new releases, including Horizon Forbidden West and Dying Light 2.

Originally from Ireland, I moved to the UK in 2014 to pursue a Games Journalism and PR degree at Staffordshire University. Following that, I've freelanced for GamesMaster, Games TM, Official PlayStation Magazine and, more recently, Play and Games Radar. My love of gaming sprang from successfully defeating that first Goomba in Super Mario Bros on the NES. These days, PlayStation is my jam. When not gaming or writing, I can usually be found scouring the internet for anything Tomb Raider related to add to my out of control memorabilia collection.
 
A week playing elden ring and though I have got better and cleared a few dungeon bosses, don’t die as much and explore and level up, I find there isn’t that much to do other than grind. I’m not ready for the main story I don’t think, but I expected there to be more to do.
 
That being said I’ve just found Margit and had my ass kicked, but I managed to get him to about 50% health first attempt.
 
Defeated Godrick last night. That was one tough battle.

Entered Liurnia Of The Lakes and found out that section of the map is bigger than Limgrave and The Weeping Peninsula combined!!

This game is absolutely huge
Spent three bastard hours trying to beat that first boss last night and struggled to get even close. Sacked it off and just explored more and found some roundtable area where I can upgrade weapons and buy some better stuff. Gonna keep exploring and get stronger and then go back.
 
It really is!

5 hours in and I am really enjoying it. lots of nostalgia!
Absolutely. Hearing 'Freedom to win' again made my eyes widen. The pop-up 'assistants' are beginning to irritate a little, but i'm hoping this is just their tutorial stage of the game.
