This (circa 4:30) is saying that a 2080 was doing 60 fps at 1440p, which is better than my monitor:
3080 for 4k.
Yeah you’ll probably be fine especially since it somehow doesn’t support ray tracing. In my experience From’s stuff is better on console IMO. I couldn’t get through sekiro at all on my pc then picked it up on ps5 on sale later and loved it but again ymmv.
One of the reviews I watched today was like “yeah Skyrim came out 10 years ago and was rereleased every year and it still sold and this is this decade’s skyrim” pretty crazy. Still not sure its going to cross over to non souls people though. I work at a giant retailer and said today in slack “hope our team members are ready for a deluge of game returns when mom waves box angrily and says ‘this is supposed to be like breath of the wild but braxton has been dying for 3 hours straight’”

I tend to go swole bro on my first playthrough, especially since power stance is back. But everyone is saying the casting is too fun to completely pass up on. And theres the ashes of war that I haven’t explored much either. I’ll likely not be very efficient and keep leveling up a different stat just to try the next weapon or spell I pick up.
As someone who’s never played a souls game and who hasn’t hardly looked into Elden Ring at all, I wouldn’t mind hearing about some good strategies for getting started and common n00b pitfalls to avoid.
She’s a little crazy about rpg open world games. Loves Witcher 3, botw, and fallout 3/4/nv. She plays in the weirdest way. She is a massive completionist, did like 99.8% on botw including all of the Korak seeds iirc

I bought DS3 on Steam and played in with an Xbox controller. Quit a few hours in. Only have an XB1 so probably passing on this for now. Watched a long review today and it looks pretty impressive. Can’t say I understand having a super massive open world RPG and refusing to have a journal feature for the huge amount of lore.
I’m loaded in. Just need to through 1 more meeting. Ready for the pain.

Don’t get frustrated when the tutorial boss demolishes you like a dozen times.

If it follows the mechanics of the other Souls-like games, the roll is a temporary invulnerability. So you don’t need to get out of the range of enemies attacks, you just need to time the dodge correctly to avoid them.

Also, running is always an option.

Game is playing incredibly smooth so far on a XSX. Only died 4 times so far!

Don’t worry I’ve only died to the first main boss 10 times in a row.

9 hours to go for me 
Is this the tutorial boss or a real boss?
Real boss. Thankfully.
20 deaths is all it took. /s

What class did you pick? so I can pick a different one
Historically the knight is the best class for new players.
