    If you rush you can make it the hardest Souls game you've ever played.
    If you take it a bit slower, it will be similar in difficulty to the old games.

    Sony's trying to monopolize metacritics via buying user reviews to destroy ER reputation and praise ridiculously bad part of GOW. I'll judge fairly and hate Sony for doing it forever.

    Honestly I wish that they would go back to linear world next time. Open world didn't benefit this game at all, at some point there was too much stuff reused just to fill the map. Ds3 is overall better but gameplaywise this one wins :)

    The thing is, I've learned to live with bad controls and other shortcomings of other games, because the story and overall feel of the game was gripping me. Elden Ring didn't. The story as it was presented was so ridiculously generic that it didn't motivate me to spend another minute.    … Expand

    Si no les gustó el juego y nunca antes habían jugado un souls les recomiendo que le den otra oportunidad. Cuando yo jugué dark souls años atrás no me gustó la primera vez, el sistema de combate lo encontraba incomodo, estaba perdido en un mundo que no te decía a donde ir, y encontraba el juego injusto. Pero una vez que entiendes el sistema de combate, y logras pasar el primer filtro de dificultad, el juego te engancha de una manera increíble. El juego no es malo, solo es distinto a la mayoría de los juegos que uno suele estar acostumbrado a jugar, y sí, es difícil, pero rara vez injusto. Si mueres en algún momento del juego suele ser por culpa tuya, y no por un error de diseño.

    Respecto a los problemas de bugs tengo entendido que ya fueron solucionados, así que no hay razón para que no puedan disfrutar de esta joya.    … Expand

    To begin with: the graphics and textures are well polished, in a Demon's Souls manner. However there's a general feeling that some things feel seen already... (again, in a Demon's Souls manner) I concluded that's because it's the same engine, which is just natural.

    Designs are just mind blowing! Simply find some spots and enjoy the view of characters, scenery and landscapes, it's gorgeous. There are gamers who buy Fromsoftware products just for their art and there's a reason for it.

    Mechanics: here's a milestone where critics and users differ. They're fabulously implemented, it's another of its strengths. But a few times they feel recycled from previous fromsoftware games, even "Sekiro", both in the main characters as in npc's. The new ones I loved to see and interact with them, there's so much effort and dedication in them. This contrast kind of begins to weight against the game since their previous games are well known and letting users note this as soon as the first mini-boss appears (that knight on the horse) does add against it, since you feel there's a prequel-sequel relationship, which as authors advised, there's not (c'mon guys just go with it, let the gamers have their fan-lore). Nevertheless after some hours of gameplay you realize this is not the trend of the game. Which is why it is to be forgiven.

    Lore: Amazing of course. But we need to draw a line to make different points. The background, as it's obvious for everyone, feels again a fusion of older concepts and newer. But the plot is massive(r), dark and sad... Classic Fromsoftware, classic Souls-like, classic Miyazaki. Here's the signature of the author.

    Conclusion: Just like in artworks like paintings, poems or sculptures there're points that are alike, that's the style of the author. It's the world in his head that he is showing us. The disheartening feeling, the death mechanics being part of the life itself and the game experience against frustration to direct the player towards resilience. That's the plus you get after playing this game. It makes you grow through the gameplay. The word "game" is something that begins to feel out of context here. It's not about "fun" (even though its really fun), it's about the interactive experience of being inside the world in the head of the artist. Imagine exploring a painting, a song or a poem.    … Expand

    If you like dark fantasy, souls games in general, or are a fan of it's granddaddy Berserk anyway... why are you even reading this?

    It's a great game, one of the best. It has it's flaws, surely had them in the beginning and it's absolutely against current mainstream in all ways possible, but this just makes it even more unique.

    And it's better than DS2, so 10/10

    Elden Ring is by far the most innovative game produced by From Software in the last decade, culminating all the things they've learned along the way. Popping out of the linear game design of the previous titles gives the player base more play on the way they approach the game, alleviating the notorious difficulty the previous titles have had.

    This is a game with an acquired taste, players new to the souls-borne formula will either hate this game or love it, it really depends on their perseverance and your mind and soul's endurance.
    Elden Ring is a game that shows that you do not need fancy mechanics, and cinematics for an experience, it's all about how it feels and how the player responds. While it does make use of current Technology in the cinematic and gameplay department it is however a little outdated.

    So I expect the next game to double down on producing a Souls-borne game that is purely Next-gen, something greater than Demon Souls Remake and Elden Ring Combined. I have played 200+hours of this game, and at first, I was sceptical about Elden Ring as I only Played Dark Souls Remastered in the past but when I kept playing I was pulled into a world that I am glad to have experienced and stuck with.
    This is a 9/10 game even with early performance issues, and some crashes I encountered, it did not stop me from reloading and playing. Good luck Fighting GOW Ragnarok for GOTY.    … Expand

    -Multiplayer is Buggy as hell, all the functions work clunky, the mount gets in bug, the server connection gets in bug, there are tons of visual bugs, teleporting doesn't work right, quests are not functioning right, etc.

    -Some classes are op while some others are weak asf, such as the blade of bandit hits only 15 while the mage skill hits 350 and the scaling makes no sense at all while leveling up.

    -Even some little mob can 2 hit you in this game, which is not the problem, but the problem is that these little mobs are coming so often and they have very terrible hitting animations that makes it almost impossible to dodge, block (blocking is terrible anyways), and every time you die that makes you walk 3 more minutes to the little mob you died and you repeat that sometimes over 10 times. You walk that reasonless checkpoint-mob way for 30 minutes in a run.

    -Playing archer is over pointless, where you have to get your arrows by buying for an expensive price, since you mostly need around 15-20 arrows to kill one weak mob (75-45 damage per arrow) that only gives you 100 points, which you waste almost 300 - 600 points to buy those arrows, or you have to grind some 10-15 minutes of mobs to replenish those arrows with crafting, which is WASTE OF TIME while you can do 350 damage with a little portion of your mana.

    -Most of the items found in the wilderness give no clue about how to use them, and even if they do they are useless most of the time that feels like just cosmetic roleplaying consumable stuff that wastes your time even more.

    -Story stinks from the beginning, is very boring, nonsense, non-clear, chaotic, and it even makes you consider why this game does have a story for real. In my opinion, it could be better if there was no "FORCING IT" to storytelling in this game.

    -Map design is very complex, it doesn't show anything really, you don't know where you should be or are going.

    -Animations are... No comment, really.

    -Bosses or mobs don't have a clear attacking pattern, they are attacking very randomly that is hitting you 1/2 of or the whole of your health which makes you run another 3 more minutes. Which is already impossible to dodge or block (which doesn't need to be added into the game if it was going to work this poorly).

    +Only thing good about this game might be the graphics, the graphics are good, but only graphics doesn't make the game fun while it is suffering from mechanic, engine, and gameplay aspects.

    Conclusion:
    The game is Exaggerated after I played and experienced it. This game is for people who probably like suffering, hardcore mental grind, and a game that is unpolished and broken all the way. This game started a genre and popularity that drove lots of indie or developer corporations to make "Souls-like" games more and not even one of them was successful for God's sake. They need to stop doing these terrible game-set-driven games where they don't Success "AT ALL". Only the "FromSoftware" games about souls-like were successful, not all of them of course, and yet they were all probably rigged or exaggerated in my opinion. I played all of the dark souls or its copies, and they were SUFFERING my enjoyment, a game was meant to make me enjoy while these were making me get frustrated and wanted me to leave the game immediately.    … Expand

    Simply an amazing game and easily GOTY material. A culmination of everything that makes Souls great. Magic is more fun and satisfying than ever with great weapon variety to match for melee focused characters. It expands on Dark Souls III's weapon arts system and is satisfying to use.

    I was not previously a Fromsoftware fan- I just didn't get the appeal.

    After being gifted Elden Ring, and giving it a try, it finally clicked. This game was such a masterpiece that it caused me to go back and play the Souls games. I got all Steam achievements for this game and platinumed Bloodborne.

    Also just here to counter the review bombers.

    a masterpiece. It took me quite some time to finish it but didn't feel bored ever. I wouldn't place it as high on my list as Sekiro which is my favourite but ER definitely is high on the list. ER is quite different from the usual open worlds, because no hand holding which I quite enjoy.. would play it again with a new character as soon as my exams are over.

    Fantastic game worthy of Game of the Year. Other people that are rating it low do not understand From soft games. It's like asking a person that doesn't like seafood to rate sushi. You will never understand the nuances and the masterfully crafted world if you expect easy mode handholding. Once you embrace it you will then appreciate its majesty

    This game made me feel like a kid again. I had gotten to a point where I enjoyed playing video games but they didn't hit in the way that Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask did when I was younger. The sheer awe and wonder I felt exploring new areas, and the fear and anticipation of not knowing what you'd face next. It's a game you know is going to be hard, but is so fun you run straight into danger.

    ---------
    - Story sucks, actually it is really poor and 95% of the time you will be fighting and don’t care about the story. Also, the story is very confusing
    - Open world feels like empty filler sometimes and serves no purpose in many areas
    - Copy/Paste bosses
    - Basically Dark Souls 4 but with other item names. There is nothing really new here
    - Game is extremely long with reused assets. Half the size and less copy/paste would have been beeter
    - There is quite a number of unfair /cheap bosses, unfortunately also the last bosses (Malenia, Elden Beast). Boss design was better in DS3

    Overall a very good game, but it is not groundbreaking or innovative.    … Expand

Les graphismes sont quand même assez beaux. Je ne lag pas, je peux jouer avec mes potes. Je peux choisir de jouer grosse brute, assassin furtif et agile ou magicien de l'enfer. En revanche, seuls la fin basique, celle de la flamme exaltée et celle de Rani sont bien. Pour les autres y'a juste une phrase qui change c'est dommage surtout après s'être tapé la quête de la souillure. Le bestiaire est fou, l'exploration est folle je découvre des zones en ng+4.

    Now I don't get why we dropped the game. I played trough it three times now and got one of my mates to finish it as well.
    I believe what turned us off the first time was the open world aspect but now it is one of the strongest points in my opinion.
    I particularly enjoyed the bosses in the later half of the game, when **** really starts picking up.
    I get that some people are annoyed at the amount of recycled bosses and areas, and I get it. But I also dont mind it, as it makes sense in the context of the world of Elden Ring.
    The music is awesome, the amount of variety is great and the combat system is once again top notch.
    I gotta admit however that the PvP (Which was the most enjoyable thing in past souls games to me) is really not my cup of tea. The netcode is bad to a point where some weapons are almost unusable in PvP (I played with rogiers rapier for almost the entire game but its not made for PvP)
    The open world and the fact that torrent becomes unavailable in PvP means people can hide in almost unreachable places, which makes Invasions incredibly frustrating and a few more minor issues stopped me from PvPing altogether.
    However overall it is one of the best games Fromsoft ever made and an absolute recommendation from me. Especially to people who are new to Fromsoft games, as I found it very beginner friendly.
    Crafting seemed useless to me at first but proved to come in handy from time to time. Plus the fact that there are crafting materials everywhere made exploring the world feel more rewarding.
    Its definitely game of the year contender and one of the best single-player games of all time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most overrated mess I have ever played. Will most likely win GOTY because the industry is a bunch of yes men sheep that are too scared to point out the fact that this is nothing more than dark souls open world. It does nothing to push the open world genre forward. The devs made this game so big and only realised later on, so everything is recycled and all dungeons and bosses play out the same. It became blindingly apparent that the devs bite off more than they could chew when you reach the final snow area that’s just a straight shot to the boss. The world is empty devoid of life (which is the intended effect) but there is nothing to do but fight mindless enemies that attack on sites. Almost all open world games provide something else to do, games like skyrim provide entire settlements and cities to explore with people to speak to and quests to accept. I’m not even a big skyrim fan but at least exploring the world you never know what you will run into, for example a group of bounty hunters that intercept your travel or a courier catching up to you to deliver a message. None of these examples are particularly mind blowing but at the very least it makes exploring less predictable with interesting discoveries. All Elden ring has to offer is are massive bland open fields with a bunch of enemies to fight. The best parts of this game are the actual dungeons, as with the added jump they can be designed more vertically, which are just the whole parts of a normal souls game. Sekiro was an ambitious push in a different direction to reinvigorate the tired souls formulae, then they immediately revert back to the same old dark souls controls. The fact this mediocre game is praised as one of the greatest games of all time makes me feel like I’m in a parallel world.… Expand

    Rendimiento: Bastante bueno y fluido a excepción de las zonas más exigentes donde se dieron puntuales caídas a 20 fps (sólo en calidad alta).
    Horas en completar la primera partida: 50 horas.
    Dificultad: Es al mismo tiempo el más fácil y el más difícil de todos los juegos de From Software. Incluye zonas de dificultad irrisoria frente a enemigos absurdamente difíciles e injustos (Comparado con los estándares de From Software).
    Bugs y Fallos: En toda la partida sólo encontré un fallo cuando el caballo se quedó atascado en un sitio. En 50 horas el juego se salió al escritorio un total de 15 o 20 veces (Situaciones al azar. Ninguna acción en concreto provocaba errores. Seguramente problema del PC). El error más común era que el caballo y algunos enemigos se volvían invisibles en algunos momentos. No muy molesto y nunca con jefes o enemigos únicos.

    Elden Ring coge toda la experiencia acumulada por From Software hasta la fecha y lo combina en un juego titánico con guiños e inspiración tomados de los juegos anteriores de la compañía. Al que más se parece en mecánicas y desarrollo del PJ, a mi modo de ver, es a DS3.

    Sin embargo, más es menos en este caso. El vasto mundo se hace abrumador y pesado por momentos y al estar tan lleno de contenido pierde la épica única de los juegos anteriores. En Elden Ring no encontraremos enemigos capaces de dejar huella como Father Gascoigne, Lady Butterfly o Sister Friede. Por el contrario Elden Ring incluye enemigos difíciles pero planos: barras de vida enormes, daño absurdo, demasiados ataques ineludibles, de área o capaces de matar de un golpe; cualidades que a mi modo de ver no hacen un buen combate. En Sekiro, por ejemplo, los combates eran endiabladamente difíciles pero a la vez brindaban un duelo justo donde lo único que influía era la habilidad del jugador. Elden Ring sin embargo está plagado de muertes injustas y absurdas incluso para el mundo al que nos tiene acostumbrados Miyazaki.

    Se recomienda su compra: Sí, incluso por 40 o 50 euros pero matizando que antes de comprar Elden Ring considero que DS3, Sekiro o Bloodborne son mejores inversiones en caso de no haberlos jugado con anterioridad.

    Por último para aquellos que encontréis los juegos de FS muy difíciles o queráis trastear y probar diferentes personajes o armas siempre podéis utilizar WeMod y Cheat Engine (IMPORTANTE: Nunca uses cheats o mods en una partida real de un juego de From Software o serás baneado. Si utilizas herramientas de modificación o trucos crea siempre una partida nueva, haz un backup de tus saves antiguas y juega siempre offline.

There is nothing lake that in ER. In Bloodborne i wanted to open every door and pick into every window in every location, in ER i just want to the open world to end and find a castle, or a village or something to explore. Souls games are know for insane amount of details concentrated in average sized locations. When you transfer these details to an open world they are non existent anymore. Elden ring also lacks music and atmosphere. Do you remember the goosebumps moonlit melody gave you when visiting hunters dream in BB? Do you remember the incredible atmosphere in Sekiro created by music? You will not hear anything like that masterpiece in ER. Lets be honest alright? Turn the music off in Witcher 3, any Elder Scrolls game, RDR2 etc etc...Half of your joy and pleasure from playing the game will vanish. Creating an open world for ER (which is mostly empty btw) they totally forgot to add decent music to it and therefore no atmosphere is in the game. Bosses are dull, sidequests are almost impossible to start or finish without checking on internet, insane amount of items just brings confusion and does not really add diversity to gameplay. Overall it could have been a very-very good game if devs just made it 2 times smaller, removed fast travel mechanics (made us travel only from bonfires). And dear devs, please, stop adding grotesque British accent to every npc in the game. It really does not do any good to your games anymore.… Expand

    Gameplay wise, it's varied with lots of cool weapons and differents playstyles. I prefer games with simple controls where you need good reflexes and game knowledge than just farming for better gear until you can tank more hits than your opponent. These type of games are usually unbalanced and too easy in late game or too hard early game.
    Story is cool but, like sekiro or dark soul, the lore is what makes it very interesting. This is the type of game where you question yourself about everything and you go online to look for answers and you realise that you barely touched the depth of the lore (just like lords of the ring, for exemple)

Düşman tasarımları, açık dünyanın genişliği ve her adımda bir keşfedecek yeni bir şeyler sunması, yapabileceklerinizin geniş skalası son yıllarda birbirlerinin karbon kopyası ürünler sunan açık dünya rpg oyunlarına ders niteliğinde. Uzun süresine rağmen bir an olsun sıkmadığı gibi bir bu kadar daha olsa çok rahat oynardım.

    Aldığı tüm övgüleri sonuna kadar hak ediyor. Ancak keşif hissi olarak, karşılaştığımız şeyleri yan hikayelerle servis etmediği için bir Skyrim kadar etkilemedi beni. Öte yandan oyunun o kadar geniş bir haritası ve çeşitli düşman tasarımları var ki bu sunum eksikliğine rağmen merakı sürekli körükleyebiliyor. Acaba şu düşman nasıl saldıracak, neye dayanıklı, hangi element hasarı verecek diye diye arşınlıyorsunuz koca araziyi. Keşfetmediğim mağara, harabe falan kalmamıştır diye umuyorum ama vardır illa kaçan ufak tefek şeyler. Yeraltı şehirlerinin tamamını bitirdim, kayda değer tüm yan boss'ları kestim.

    Confessor olarak oynadım ve hibrit bir karakter yarattım. Sıradan düşmanlara kılıçla, zorlayıcı olanlara uzaktan büyüyle saldırdım. Faith büyüleri ve ejderha büyüleri kullandım ki görünüş olarak hakikaten şahanelerdi. Yıldırımlı alan atışları, kara alev topları, bir kaç çeşit ejderha elemental hasarı falan derken epey çeşitliydi. Neticede ilk defa bir souls oyununu büyücü olarak oynadım ve bundan gayet memnunum.

    Yan görevlerin büyük çoğunluğunu takip ettim (Youtube sağ olsun). Bir kaç tanesi kaçmıştır tabii. Oyunu en iyi sonla, ranni ile bitirdim. Az daha en kötü son olan Lord of The Frenzied Flame' sıkışacaktım ama kurtardım.

    Zindanlardaki veya açık dünyadaki bazı yan boss'ların bazen tekrar etmesi biraz hayal kırıklığına uğratmadı değil. Ama bu kadar geniş çaplı bir oyunda her yere farklı boss koymaları için oyunu bir yıl daha geliştirmeleri gerekirdi. Bence o kadar da elzem değil.

    Oynadığım en kolay Souls oyunuydu. Hem istediğin zaman haritada başka yere gidip gelişip gelme imkanı hem de olabileceklerinin çeşitliliği, hem de yanımıza hayalet çağırma imkanıyla çoğu yerde zorlanmadım (Malenia boss'u hariç, 6,5 saatimi aldı). Tabii bunda her yeri gezmemin ve bu sayede karakteri fazlasıyla geliştirmemin etkisi de var. Oyun bittiğinde 165 level'dim, son boss için önerilen 120 mesela. Ki buna rağmen zorlayıcı bir boss olduğunu ve 3 saatimi aldığını itiraf etmem gerek.

    Ejderha savaşları güzeldi ama hareket şemaları hep aynı olduğu için bir süre sonra sıradanlaştı.

    Yer altı mezarlıklarının tasarımları genelde benzerdi, kaleler ise bir souls oyununa yakışır şekilde giriftti. Haritada her bölgenin birbirinden farklı bir temasının, görselliğinin genelde düşman tiplerinin olması oyunun monotonluktan uzak olmasını sağlayan en önemli faktörlerdi.

    Sonuç olarak oynadığım en iyi oyunlardan birisi oldu. TLOU Part 2, Witcher 3 ve Skyrim'in arkasına yazıyorum. Umarım harita dizaynı, düşman çeşitliliği ve keşif hissi olarak yeni çıkacak açık dünya oyunlarına ilham olur. Skyrim gibi keşif hissi olan, Witcher 3 gibi yan hikaye kalitesi olan, Elden Ring dövüş mekaniği ve düşman çeşitliliği barındıran bir oyun hayali kuruyorum.

    Story 2/10 - It has the same flaws as DS3, it has a story too subjective and I think Elden Ring's story managed to be even worse than DS because at least in Dark Souls the story was more philosophical and it gave meaning to certain things like why the Ashen One and the enemies don't really die. Also, there is no sense of progression, I don't even know why the character want to be the Elden Ring and why he need to fight so many enemies in the way.

    Surely my biggest disappointment about Elden Ring was the story since George R martin helped in the story production, I was expecting a story like Sekiro, not a DS3 story copy but way worse.

    Combat and gameplay 8/10 - it is the same way as DS3 but with more weapons, spells, and items and more elements (like your horse). I felt that the open world was very cool at first but after 15-20 hours of gameplay I didn't like it so much anymore, I rather play in the closed maps but well designed (and the game has many maps like that so it is fine too).

    One thing that keeps the same sh*t is that you obtain dozens of cool weapons with unique ash of war but you can't use 90% of them because you need to re-do your whole build and that is so difficult for no reason.

    Overall, it is a great game, it is really really long (it took me 107 hours to finish it) and with almost endless maps, secrets, enemies and bosses. I can see the devs really put their heart into this game. So my final score is 7/10.    … Expand

Mas depois de terminar Elden Ring, eu finalmente tive a realização do quão bom aquele jogo era. Não estou dizendo que o jogo vai melhorando, na verdade é o contrário, mas cada hora a mais que você passa jogando faz Elden Ring crescer em você.

Os elementos separados de Elden Ring não são os melhores individualmente, mas o conjunto da obra é simplesmente maravilhoso.… Expand

    Nombreuses critiques plébiscitent le jeu, mais aucune ne parle des soucis technique (ou alors minimisent ça dans la prise de note, du genre "quelques légers défauts techniques").

    La version PC est indigne de son public, comme les précédents jeux From Software. Franchement, j'ai eu de la patience, j'ai voulu y croire, je me suis dit qu'au moins un maigre effort serait fait sur la version PC : et ben non.
    Joueurs PC, je vous le dit, c'est (encore) un gros doigt d'honneur érigé à votre égard.
    "nan mais vraiment t'abuses un peu le jeu est sorti sur PC et il est jouable". Ok, tu veux jouer à ça ? Bien alors :

    - Graphiquement, on est sur un jeu qui a 5 ans de retard.

    - Le portage PC est une fois de plus une insulte : Pas de localisation clavier/souris "Appuyez sur LB pour faire ça" . LB ? connais pas, je joue sur PC!. Alors oui les mauvaises langues me diront "bah t'as qu'a jouer à la manette" et a ces gens là je répond : "ok, ton jeu sur XBOX ou PS n'aura droit qu'à des menus indiquant "appuyez sur CTRL gauche pour continuer". Quoi, t'es pas content ? bah t'as qu'a jouer au clavier et à la souris. Non mais clairement y'a des jeux qui détectent si tu joues au clavier/sours ou a la manette, et qui modifient leurs touches d'interactions en temps réel en fonction de ce que tu utilises, et qui sont des AA vendus deux fois moins cher sur du multi-plateforme. Et une grosse production comme Elden Ring ne sait pas le faire du tout ? C'est du foutage de gueule.

    - pas/peu de réglages graphiques : Toi joueur PC avec un écran 144/165/240Hz, tu voudrais en profiter ? Alors fermes les yeux, écartes les fesses et laisses toi faire : pas de possibilité de supprimer la VSYNC, pas de réglage de framerate : le jeu sera cappé à 60hz point barre. "Ouais mais c'est déjà bien" me diront les joueurs consoles = nan mais mec, t'achètes une Ferrari qui ne dépasse pas le 130km/h, tu vas voir le vendeur et il te dit "nan mais 130 c'est déjà bien, ça sert à rien d'aller au dessus ! Et tu acceptes ? Non merci !

    - On peut régler l'ultrawide. Non je rigole, bien évidement vous pouvez oublier

    - Pas de prise en charge de technologies comme DLSS, FSR : s'aurait été utile pour compenser le fait qu'il rame, et pas non plus de prise en charge Reflex : idem, un truc utile pour un jeu qui impose aux joueurs l’exigence.

    - Du clipping à outrance, un framerate beaucoup trop bas et beaucoup trop instable pour un jeu "si moche" = c'est totalement la honte en terme de perf sur PC. On est dans le bas du panier des portages pc.

    Ok alors, From Software, je m'adresse à vous là : visiblement, vous ne savez pas faire un portage pc. Alors pourquoi vous vous acharnez à livrer ça dans cet état ? Certains jeux à 20/30 balles font tout mieux que vous en terme de portage PC (framerate débloqué, localisation clavier/souris, performances correctes). Du coup, ce n'est pas une question de moyen puisque des studios y arrivent : c'est donc ce que vous vous foutez complètement des joueurs PC ?
    Alors soit vous faites des portages honnêtes, soit vous arrêtez de vendre votre merde sur PC (mais comme les From Software se vendent bien sur PC, j'imagine que c'est comme pisser dans un violon... Pour rappel, pour débloquer +60 fps sur Sekiro PC, il fallait soit un trainer soit un mod. Et c'est pareil pour ce Elden Ring) . Derrière y'a des clients qui achètent ça et qui sont déçus... Oui je sais, ça va se vendre, ce sera le GOTY etc etc... mais désolé, intrinsèquement ça reste une énorme merde sur PC, et y'a pas d'autres mots. C'est pas très beau, ça rame, c'est bloqué à 60FPS sans ultrawide, y'a du clipping, et tout ça ne sera jamais corrigé, c'est certain. Mis à part les chutes de FPS qui seront éventuellement patchées.

    Du reste, le jeu est sûrement bien hein, mais si ça vous tente, achetez le sur n'importe quelle plateforme mais pas le PC.    … Expand

    Great way to adapt the souls like games with their gameplay loop to the open world format.
    Outstanding story, graphics, gameplay, and everything, as is such with from software games.

    Overhyped and overrated. After milking dry the Demon's Souls formula for 13 years, From Software has created a Frankenstein's monster by slapping together a whole bunch of elements from other games, without perfecting any of them, while using a severely outdated game engine.

After milking dry the Demon's Souls formula for 13 years, From Software has created a Frankenstein's monster by slapping together a whole bunch of elements from other games, without perfecting any of them, while using a severely outdated game engine. They have combined combat mechanics from Sekiro and of course the Souls games, but it feels neither as fast-paced and dynamic as Sekiro, nor as "strategic", punishing and claustrophobic as Souls. The difficulty stems from lazy and unfair enemy combos, as well as new enemy movesets that are simply frustrating and annoying. "One boss is too easy? Just put two of them into the same room then! Add a cheap area-of-effect move to every large enemy, as well as a thrust attack with insane range, with infinite stamina of course!".
    The open world was obviously created in BotW's image, except that it's much less beautiful, much less lively, much less fun to explore and navigate. From a technical standpoint, the game is a disaster.

    From Soft have rested on their laurels for too long and fell behind big time. Time to catch up before they go the way of Bethesda. That's unlikely though, seeing how the deluded fan cultists have turned this game into perhaps the most overrated title of all time. Next up: Elden Ring 2, with the same clunky gameplay mechanics, same outdated graphics, same lore and no plot to speak of.    … Expand

    какой идиот придумал спамящие атаки у боссов которые не дают даже хилку выпить.
    помереть можно даже от рядового моба который стоит в проходе и спамит размашистыми атаками перед собой.

    Super fantastic game but what else can you expect when George RR. Martin and Miyazaki work together.
    The only downside is that the game occasionally has FPS drops and crashes.
    Otherwise, one of the few games where you can not go wrong if you buy it at full price. Especially if you are into the Souls genre.

    Probably the best game I've ever played. As a Dark Souls veteran this is the game I was always wishing for. If you are looking for a game that will give you hundreds of hours of fun, an insane story and one of the best open worlds ever, this is it.

    Un juego bastante dificil como todos los souls pero a diferencia de los otros souls, si en este te trabas en algun boss puedes dar media vuelta e intentar con otros 30 que puedes encontrar en el mapa. La jugabilidad es bastante buena, tiene mucha variedad en cuanto a builds por lo cual tu decides si quieres ir mago, samurai o algo mas "tanque".

Lamentablemente al inicio estaba mal optimizado para PC, vamos que ni con una 3070 tenias fps estables, pero en las ultimas actualizaciones ya han ido arreglando eso. Sin duda no me arrepiento de haberlo jugado en su salida, pase buenos momentos jugandolo con amigos y en solitario. Una de las mejores experiencias que tuve este 2022… Expand

    Open world fits in the soulsborne games perfectly. You can see people say "It's dark souls 3 with mount and jumping". You can be sure about jumping and mount really matters in the soulsborne games and that caused with level designs considering to these mechanics. So that two mechanics aren't minor **** or sth. It is one of the best games you can ever play and best game of 2022 since Feb for now

    This game is a masterpiece. It's one of the most beautiful and well rounded adventure games I've ever played. It is very difficult at times, but usually fair. There are a huge variety of ways to play, giving the game aot of replayability. The game systems are great. The world is really compelling.

    And other dark souls Without any changes. you have to go a looooooong way again and again in order to Encounter a boss? I don't have this much of time. what were you thinking about, when creating ( actually copy+pasting from dark souls) this game? Did you think gamers have many free times? it's just wasting so much time.

    Elden Ring is an experience that will not be forgotten in a hurry. It's a tremendous, hulking, massive achievement but because it is tremendous, hulking and massive, it is one that comes with many caveats. The shelves in CeX and conversations with people who stopped playing at Stormveil castle can certainly attest to some of those caveats. Much like any FromSoftware title, it's not going to be for everybody, but paradoxically it is one of their hardest and one of their most accessible to date. It offers huge value in one package, and perhaps is a little too much value, only becoming clearer when nearing the endgame. Don't be mistaken by the criticism, though. This is a phenomenal achievement with a moment-to-moment that is incredibly engaging and immersive. No doubt it will be deserving of the end-of-year accolades it will inevitably receive. One pushes through Elden Ring as one pushes through life, with all the highs and the lows that it brings.

    Elden Ring is massive, sometimes to its detriment. A thorough walkthrough might take up more than 100 hours to complete, and at some point it becomes clear that From Software did not have enough manpower to produce that much unique content. Still, it remains incredibly addictive even after those 100 hours pass…

    It’s hard to review Elden Ring without being comparative; that’s because Elden Ring is an evolutionary step, not a revolutionary one, and one can’t help but see how it’s built on what came before. Here is a massive undertaking of a game, not for the sake of chasing trends but as the natural progression of the style the company has been fostering for over a decade. It’s amazing how smoothly the transition to open world was and how much of the Souls identity is still present. In the short time since its release, it has already left a cultural mark, no doubt a result of the game’s increased approachability. Even after sifting past all the hype and grandiosity, there’s still an excellent game left and Elden Ring is a clear showcase of FromSoftware’s outstanding expertise in the field. Elden Ring really is just that good.
