Can’t wait it’s dark souls type game but with the Witcher type game play too.

Really looking forward to this game. Since getting the ps5, not too many games have come out that's really grabbed my attention, but this one looks amazing from what little bits i've seen.

Watched a youtuber stream this the other day and looks miles better. Its half price at the moment so I might get for later in the year.

I bought it the other day and have played for a few hours...

It looks great on my PC. Sounds great as well. I don't like the areas blocked off or a message telling me I can't go there for some reason...seems weird that I can't fully explore for the off. The immersion is a bit off as well...there's loads of fat blokes in the same outfit wandering around for instance. Plus my buddy seems to like walking through lockers, doors etc etc...

But I've had a wee wander around Night City, scanning people, checking out areas I can explore...

It's ok, not a world beater by any stretch of the imagination, too much hype I think. But I am enjoying it so far.
 
Anyone played the mass effect series? For years everyone raved about it, but right now I’m on the first one via game pass but I’m struggling to get into it. It almost feels like a chore playing it at times.

Amazing series. Some of the work Bioware have(especially Mass Effect 2)

The combat is a bit ropey in 1 and the story is really setting up 2 and 3 but the pay off is worth it. There are choices you make in 1 which have huge consequences at the end of 3.

It's a universe I've spend 100's of hours in so my advice is just stick with it and talk to EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON you can because you never know how that will affect the game in the long run

Played the first 3 and really liked them, with ME2 probably the better of the lot.
Swerved on Mass Effect Andromeda due to some really bad reviews, due to it really being buggy and glitchy and generally being absolute dogshit when 1st released.

Can understand how you feel about ME1, as the game is probably getting on to be 15 years old, so if i played it again it might seem a little dated now
 
Elden ring is going to consume me. I've stayed in the dark intentionally so know very little about it but I am a little concerned about the open world nature of it though. For me, a huge part of darks souls is finding that shortcut through an area and seeing that progress made each death. I'm not sure they'll be able to do that justice with a go anywhere open world approach.

As somebody that imported the Chinese version of demon souls on ps3 long before it even released over here, played through it not being able to read any of it, and has since played all souls-like games I trust fromsoft to smash it.

I read an article with someone who got a test version recently and they shared your exact concerns above. They were whole heartedly sold on it after playing it and really liked the open world concept.

That's another old one I've been playing on my pc(using RPCS3 emulator). Not that far in but one thing I've noticed, you don't get those fires you get to light bar the start of each level. Is it like this all the way through? I know the games ain't officially linked but one good part of Dark Souls was finally reaching a bonfire mid level after dying a million times.

It's been a very long time since I played it but basically yeah. Demon souls is different to dark souls, you pick a world from the nexus, your aim is to get through it from thr start, unlocking shortcuts will make it easier. get to the boss, they'll be a shortcut back allowing you to get to the boss relatively easy if you die, then defeat the boss and that basically unlocks a bonfire which will be the start of "level 2" of that particular world.

You'll then start from there and work your way to the next boss by the same process to unlock level 3 and eventually level 4 of that world. You can do any level of any world in any order so long as you've unlocked the previous levels of that world by beating the boss associated with it. It's a different, less expansive but also less forgiving approach than dark souls. Imo it's better but that could just be nostalgia for the first of its kind taking over, I haven't revised them and have yet to play the ps5 remake.

Cheers. Whoever designs these games is one evil f@ck ;)
 
Seeming as though the two pre orders I have made in recent years are Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy XIII, I'm in no rush to order ever again before the reviews are out.

Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West testing my patience though, even though the latter looks exactly like the first game from what I have seen
Thankfully seeing that £50 pricetag helps cool any desire to play on release anyway.
