They did not learn from their mistakes the made back 15+ years ago what makes you think they going to start now? I mean Wotlk pandas? I mean come on this is WoW they have never once improved the game from the original it always gets worse and worse.

And i swear the graphics are twice as cartoony now then they were in 2008 when I last played it.

And whatever date they announce you do not believe it. Because D2 ladder was supposed to be early 2022 also. Guess by Blizzards definition anything before June 15th is early

Tried and tried to talk myself into getting this game. Played the Demo got a few jobs maxed watched streams looked at videos trying to find anything that would make me want to play it.

Love the FF11/tactics style job system think it is the best class system ever designed in a RPG. Love the nostalgia with the tonberrys and cactuars. But the game is straight garbage.

It is nothing like a souls game at all, And Square just put out a game exactly like it at its core just a week prior and it was garbage without the cool job system. This is more like some f2p hack and slash lobby game, And how is warcry from a warrior so much more powerful then a dragoons jump ability I mean come on did whoever designed this game never play any FF game ever?

Finally a game that deserves a 10. Not even a souls fan although ive played them all. I mean i have my criticisms of Elden Ring. It could use some post game content like bloodborne for example pretty bad that it only gets easier and easier as you do each playthrough.

Difficulty is kind of the opposite of what you would think. You will never have a hard as a time as you do on that first playthrough. I am on my 5th and i just destroy everything barely ever blocking/dodging. Could be a little easier at the start and a little harder postgame.

But it has been over a decade since I have seen a Developer put this much effort and care into a game. And it definitely deserves this 10

Lol most of you people wont find completing the game in an hour being that amazing after your first playthrough and you get all your items and skills together. It is pretty much just running to and through the legacy dungeons. The talismans and Radahn the only out of the way spots and there are teleporters to cut that time down to get there. Because there is no difficulty on 2nd playthrough you straight destroy everything. Bosses you had difficulty with you kill in 10 seconds and they start dropping like 500k-1million runes so you get even more powerful fast.

It is not 550 percent and the xp is not a flat increase. Some mobs might be 550 percent but most 100 to 200 percent increase. Bosses however get a huge increase on 2nd playthrough but far as i can tell on 3rd it barely changed.

Lol too much? Had this cleared by Saturday night. Then got every skill point by Wednesday(except 2 points screw racing minigames),

This should score higher then Zero Dawn for sure. Took me a week to clear it because it kept putting me to sleep. I actually enjoyed what little there was of Forbidden West.

@gamergirl2013: Charge more if there was actually some multiplayer games that were worth playing that were not a decade old or more.

@Warlord_Irochi: hope not. Because if there is one thing we have learned from gamepass is that any game that goes directly to gamepass is garbage.

God I hope not. Let microsoft buy up another company that has not had a decent release in over a decade.

This plus the 30 hour gameplay announcement totally discourages me from trying this game. Discounting before it even comes out sounds bad to me. Only thing worse would be if it was going directly to gamepass on xbox then i would know for a fact it sucked.
