Why not both! Customizable horse would be next level From. Hell, you should be able to *play* as a horse, that would be rad.

Josh is always worried about the horse parts
― Ssäm Sauce | Martha Stewart (Sufjan Grafton), Saturday, 8 January 2022 16:51 (two years ago) link
Haha, I actually never worried about my horse (named My Horse) in RDR2 ever! Nor did I ever notice its gender or genitals, come to think of it. Maybe I should have paid closer attention?
Wait, there were horses in Breath of the Wild, weren't they? I don't think I ever used a horse, except the one or two times a fight required it.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 8 January 2022 17:26 (two years ago) link
yes there were horses, and yes we had a many post discussion about it
― Ssäm Sauce | Martha Stewart (Sufjan Grafton), Saturday, 8 January 2022 17:35 (two years ago) link
Shows what an impression they made. All I remember is that they offered me no benefit so I stabled them. Where they remain, virtually, to this very day.

I have been keeping up and everything looks incredible, but the most important feature so far is that you can find tailor's tools and add a cape (and who knows what else?!) to your outfit.

Will this be worth playing on PS4?
― Urbandn hope all ye who enter here (dog latin), Wednesday, 23 February 2022 15:17 (two years ago) link
I was wondering that, I've yet to make the upgrade. Given that DS3 makes my console wheeze like an asthmatic chain-smoker, it might be a stretch, though that game does itself run fine...
― Critique of the Goth Programme (Neil S), Wednesday, 23 February 2022 15:19 (two years ago) link
I think noisy PS4s are due to age and dirt/dust, not power. I have a slim I got ... whenever I got it. 2019? Anyway, mine barely makes a peep.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 23 February 2022 15:29 (two years ago) link
i'll be playing on ps4 for sure

Seems to be fine on PS4, there's just less grass on the ground. :)

I’m one month into three months of paternity leave, PS5 plus Elden Ring arriving tomorrow - excited for my small baby to experience it’s first From game
― crisp, Wednesday, 23 February 2022 16:31 (two years ago) link
Ha, nice. It's wild to me that my friend with a 8 month old has much more time to play video games than I do (because his free time is from when the baby goes to bed to whenever he decides to do so, whereas I spend time with my partner at night and we go to bed at the same time, weird huh).

all my gaming time is now playing switch games as my 4-year-old directs me, we have 831 moons in mario odyssey.
i put my lil baby xbox next next to my home office setup so i can sneak in some elden ringing on company time.

Glad to hear that it's a bit more forgiving in a sense cuz you can go off and grind when you get stuck, which is less of an option in the other games, and I am baaaaad at these
― feed me with your chips (zchyrs), Wednesday, 23 February 2022 19:19 (two years ago) link
i watched the review above and minor quibble but this shit is not stunningly beautiful its grody as hell, looks like an amazing game tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 February 2022 23:54 (two years ago) link
Yeah idk if “stunningly beautiful” is a thing I’d associate with From, but there are moments amidst the gnarly, gloomy grime that are pretty and/or awe inspiring.That review in particular’s also limiting itself to the first two main areas of the game for spoilerage sake.
― circa1916, Thursday, 24 February 2022 00:42 (two years ago) link
jeez these reviews are HYPE, i keep running into critics begging you to buy the game even if you don't like souls gamesfextralife guy called it "skyrim but with online and good combat and no bugs and ingenious developments... definitely game of the year and possibly game of the decade" and ouch i guess i don't get to leave the house for awhile? lotta complaints about PC bugginess so i am hoping the ps5 investment was the right call.
― i cannot help if you made yourself not funny (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 24 February 2022 01:15 (two years ago) link
why would you buy it if you dont like souls games, its still the exact same gameplay
― ciderpress, Thursday, 24 February 2022 03:35 (two years ago) link
maybe you like it now
― lag∞n, Thursday, 24 February 2022 04:19 (two years ago) link
the argument i'm hearing is that if you find it too hard, they have built checks and balances to allow for alternates to GIT GUD but the guys what GOT GUD already don't have to cop to them if they don't want to. also that if you hit a boss and don't want to fight a boss, there's so much else to do that you can just fuck off and not worry about it until you are overleveled. and a better spawn system. mostly that a lot of the flint that makes things souls like is greatly reduced, leaving you just with the fun stuff. We'll see.

The promise of a cross between "Dark Souls" and "Breath of the Wild" does indeed scare me into the prospect of isolated hermit-dom. I think I'm going to maintain my self-imposed limit of not getting this (or Horizon Zero West, and other next gen games) until I have a PS5, and I'm not getting a PS5 until it's easier to get a PS5.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 24 February 2022 14:36 (two years ago) link
I guess there’s no soapstone (or equivalent) message system in this? One thing I haven’t heard anything about, so I assume not.Magic actually looks pretty fun this time out, I’ll probably play a hybrid class of some sort.
― circa1916, Thursday, 24 February 2022 15:47 (two years ago) link
Oh and bows that look much more functional as part of the combat flow this time out. Looks like no shortage of viable options.
― circa1916, Thursday, 24 February 2022 15:50 (two years ago) link
ohhhhhhhhh elden ring
― ciderpress, Thursday, 24 February 2022 15:52 (two years ago) link
There are still messages, I'm pretty sure (and the usual bloodstains, ghosts, summon signs, etc).
Pvp is a little different, fyi you can't be invaded unless you summon help first, or use a dried finger-type item to open the invader floodgates. Also 4 player max, with at least one slot reserved for invasions.
― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 24 February 2022 15:58 (two years ago) link
Magic actually looks pretty fun this time out,
I've never used magic in any Souls game, but magic in this game looks dope, and the game seems to encourage magic used as part of melee builds rather than as its own thing.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 24 February 2022 16:02 (two years ago) link
There's bus ads for this here and while I understand GRRM just did the backstory, having the pull quote be "this looks amazing - George R R Martin" and then "developed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R R Martin" underneath is still lol
