Current Events > Elden Ring will lack the claustrophobia of the Souls games.

(+) Yeah! (+)

How hard will encounters be if you can just run away from them?

I don't know why FromSoftware made a game with huge fields.

running past enemies has been a part of every souls game to date

I just imagine TC fighting every single enemy every time he encounter them in any Dark Souls game. Thats crazy

One of my biggest questions with the game, honestly.

How many enemies will you actually have to fight in order to beat the game. Gona be real funny if speedruns take like 10 minutes.

I do that in every Fromsoft game the first time I go through an area. It makes exploring and searching for items much easier too when you don't have some enemy trying to murder you.

It's not a From game if you're not hitting a wall when you swing at an enemy.

Same. They might of been talking about after you get the items tho. I usually have like 20 hours more than most people tho. I feel like the point of the game is taking on all the enemies. Plus, I wanna be beefed up enough to solo all bosses

I'm not bothered by this on its own because I find it pretty neat as a gameplay mechanic actually, but I hate it that enemies don't have to follow the same rules. Though I guess it'd be pretty silly if you got a huge enemy next to a wall and they started ruining their own moves.

I think I might actually take my time in Elden Ring because I feel like I've been accidentally rushing through all the games I play recently. Like if I see a spot or item I don't know how to get to then I'll try to find a way to it, but way too often do I end up beating a game without seeing an area or two. Shit maybe I'll grind an enemy with a nice looking weapon since they seem to drop whatever they're holding in Fromsoft games.

Also they give incentives for you to fight enemies instead of avoiding them. Big enemies/bosses can give you new skills and abilities, and regular enemy groups refill your health restoration items.

Is this true?
If that's the case this game is going to be a hard pass from me.

What are you serious? A boss giving you a cool new power is a hard pass?

Didnt you watch any gameplay footage? One of the gnarliest powers you saw in that one was when the player character projects a dragon head over himself and it breathes fireeee. If that isnt badass I dunno what else you could want.

"Skills" and "abilities" in a Souls-like are a hard pass.

We are talking about the game Elden Ring though

"Skills" and "abilities" in a Souls-like are a hard pass.

One of the things I like most about the Souls games is that the combat, and your character's strength, is roughly the same throughout the entire game. I want to get better as a player, not just level up and collect "skills" to make the game easier.
