Anyone hazard a guess for when Elden Ring will be released ?

It's gone a bit quiet on that front. I'd guess next year.

Edit: There's already a thread for it here, but you'd never find it via search, given the thread's title.

Watched the footage of this , it looked great but the combat didn't look great at all . May wait for reviews on this one. The guiding wind idea looks novel enough and going toward things a la breath of the wild.

Nice price

Done here also. Worth it even for playthrough and then re-sale

Not sure ( ) but it's good to watch.

For me that says "the promotional code cannot be applied". has it expired or do I need to use an English address or something?

There was a limit of 10,000 codes and it didn't apply to all items and it seemed to work on some accounts and not others so there could be a couple of reasons why it didn't work. I have an Irish Address and used the code yesterday in relation to a different item and it worked.

What are Amazon like for getting the pre-orders out at the moment? They're fairly fecking slow with everything else.

Brutal. Got The Last of Us 2 on Tuesday evening after release to Dublin. Had it preordered since February.

All up to dispatch it was "Expected Friday" and as soon as it was sent it was "Expected Monday".

That said, a friend got his on Saturday... So it's luck of the draw.

First time using Amazon for a while- pre ordered Iron Man VR. Released on Friday. Received Sat. Delighted with that

The Soulsborne-type combat wouldn't work in this game, because it's not a Soulsborne-type game. Simple as that

No it's not as simple as that . Your statement doesn't make sense . There is actually no one souls borne combat the combat in all the from software games are all distinctly different to each other. I dunno why there was a thread was called soulsbourne combat when bloodborne combat is quite different to Dark Souls and Dark souls is quite different to Dark Souls 3. There are similarities which is the same with Nioh so if there are similarities with this game then yes it will work

Perhaps Soulsborne Gameplay would have been a better title than Soulsborne Combat (I didn't name the thread), but I don't think it's unfair to point out that generally the Soulsborne games all follow a very similar framework, style, and are usually associated with each other not just due to the developer but also the difficulty (whether real or perceived, as in the repeated deaths and having to learn how to read enemies to an extent you generally don't have to in most other games).

Jim Sterling had a video a while back about games being called "Soulsborne" or "Metroidvania", and generally surmised that when those terms are used, even though they might not be exact matches and even though there might be a different, albeit more cumbersome, term which could be used, people still know what type of game it is. Their knowledge of "Soulsborne" or "Metroidvania" type of games means they know the comparisons or parallels which are being drawn.

So all I was saying in that post from like two months ago that I don't even remember, is that the type of combat from Soulsborne-type games probably wouldn't suit this game (being more open-world, Assassin's Creed type of game rather than the likes of Sekiro which would probably be the nearest Soulsborne-type of comparison).

The gameplay in Sekiro is more comparable to the likes of Dark Souls or Bloodborne, than Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

Just look at an old assassin's creed game and imagine it set in Japan. Because that's all it really is.

I'm interested in seeing reviews for this, think it could be another Days Gone and get a middling response.

I think this game will be right up there with Ace Combat 7. Sky high.

I made the mistake of only getting around to finishing off Nioh 2 this week, even though this is set in the Kamakura period as opposed to Sengoku period and is open world it might be overkill.

I am excite, games looks stunning! One thing worrying me in that video though, it's in Japanese but the mouth looks off, like the animations are for English...

Edit: Yeah, dialogue animations were captured in English, so the Japanese is dubbed and, well, it's as bad as English dubbed foreign films. Shame, would love to have played it in Japanese, pretending to be Samurai Zoro. Probably too much to expect an update at some stage to change the animations to Japanese...

God I remember seeing this when it was announced and thinking that looks great and not really followed it since and maybe like others assumed it was like Nioh/Souls? Anyway kind of happy to see the latest video for it and that it's not what I was expecting though that would have been great too. I've credit on my account to use up and a hunger for a slice of AAA so if the reviews are favorable I'll bite I think.
