Reminds me a bit of BOTW, which is a good thing.

Brandon Sanderson Complains About From Software’s Choice of George R. R. Martin for Elden Ring
In a recent Q&A posted on his YouTube channel, Brandon Sanderson (whose most renowned works include Wheel of Time 12-14, Mistborn, and The Stormlight Archive) pointed out that George R. R. Martin isn't really a gamer, whereas he played all From Software titles since the relatively obscure King's Field game (released on PlayStation 2 and now considered the progenitor of the Souls titles)...
Ha! George is really good at worldbuilding. Places, peoples, etc. For a project like this, where he doesn't have to do any other bits: He was a good choice.
Also, It's wrong thinking that only gamers should write games.
Thankfully I will only play this game in offline mode on my PS5. Don’t need any Tencent spyware on my machines.Elden Ring uses same anti-cheat as Fortnite on PC
Elden Ring will use Easy Anti-Cheat on PC to combat online hackers, according to the games EULA...the news follows a recent Dark Souls 3 PvP security exploit that prompted Bandai Namco to temporarily disable multiplayer servers across the entire Souls trilogy...developed by Epic Games, Easy Anti-Cheat is included with many PC games, including Fortnite and Apex Legends...Elden Ring will be the first Soulsborne game to use anti-cheat software of any kind...

EAC is a kernel-level anticheat that runs as a service in the background when your PC boots. It seems to just idle until a game that uses it is running. EAC is supposedly aggressive in some applications, banning people for using things like RGB software. I run iCue and have never had an issue with it and EAC, personally.Anyone know if EAC has any privacy concerns and does it just run when the game is active?
If its like the Dark Souls games....you probably won't be able to play the entire game co-op. Usually its only in certain areas or certain conditions have to be met, in order to summon someone for jolly cooperation or PVP.Just saw this on Steam about this game:
Co-op: Co-op for up to four players is supported
I had no idea this was a CoOp game? So I can play the single player story line game with a friend together on our PC's? This is a huge deal for me, then I might actually get this game.
Never played any previous games from this company before. Not sure if it's a mix of gameplay likeDiablo mixed with an MMO style from World of Craft? Is it an action based third person RPG?
Anyone preordered?If its like the Dark Souls games....you probably won't be able to play the entire game co-op. Usually its only in certain areas or certain conditions have to be met, in order to summon someone for jolly cooperation or PVP.

I prordered a few months ago got it for $50.Anyone preordered?
Whatever you do, don't purchase this game based on that co-op tag. In the Souls games, 'co-op' means something totally different to what it does in other games where you can usually have players from your friends list hop into your campaign and play for hours with you.Co-op:

Souls games are nothing like that, while there is co-op - it is mostly RNG based (there are some ways of forcing it depending on the title) - and it's not always available. Tough to explain, but you should be able to pickup one of the earlier Souls games for cheap to see if you like it.
They are great games but not for everyone as they require a certain tolerance for learning from your mistakes. If you have a PS4 I'd recommend Bloodborne. On PS5, Demons' Souls. On PC, Dark Souls 1 or Dark Souls 3.
After Cyberpunk 2077, I am never preordering again.Anyone preordered?

I did a few months ago I won't refund this one. Basically the one game I have preordered besides EA of Baldurs Gate 3.
504 hours from the release of Dying Light 2, so you should be able to just finish that game before moving onto Elden Ring.Whew only a few more weeks

Lame on both counts. Especially the frame lock. With modern game dev practices it is easy to support any arbitrary fps (yes I'm a game dev).I'm hoping the ray-tracing patch will be available on Day 1 but I have a feeling it'll come later...just a reminder: Elden Ring will not support framerates higher than 60fps on PC
iirc they are still using the same old engine, so maybe not.Lame on both counts. Especially the frame lock. With modern game dev practices it is easy to support any arbitrary fps (yes I'm a game dev).
I remember distinctly thinking to myself, that fight is a note to the player to straighten out their technique and probably learn how to perform some moves they had been under-utilizing.Tough to beat Ornstein and Smough. I remember the first time I got there and realized that I had to beat them both...and there was no trick or gimmick to it, either. Plus, both characters have a full/complex moveset and patterns, too. Beyond the challenge of it, it's just an epic fight all around.
