Trying to recruit my friend in the UK to snag both ... the helmet is limited to 9999 supposedly, and no clue if we're getting in the states. Safe to assume we'll get the CE.

GO!

Honestly that trailer didn't really do it for me. Didn't get me excited to go back to the game.

Thank you sir.

Did you get it? I've tried buying a second, even with another account, keeps erroring.

Well that sucks. Just realized, the weekend Erdtree comes out ... I'm heading to KY to visit family, gosh darnit. This day went from awesome, to crapty ... damn family! haha

I got it.

Badass! Yeah, it must be based on address then I guess. Throwing the same error on my account, and my wife's.

ok, figured it out ... it's a combo of address + card that defines a distinct order.

It's kinda crapty that Elden Ring's premium edition (with Malenia helmet) was $300. Now for the CE + Meessmer helmet - it's $490 (have to pay $30 for shipping twice).

oh, and that doesn't even include the base game, nor a physical disc for the DLC ... just a voucher.

I love these guys, their games are fantastic, but c'mon, that's milking it a bit much.

Oh well, I'm a sucker, got both.

Digital only so far for the game right? Like base game was on disc but not erd tree in the ce. Hoping some random region will get it on disc or some eventual full release.

Yeah, give it some time, I'm sure we'll get another full game relase down the line, but this round is all digital only.

$40 for the DLC this time around.

Seems a bit steep for DLC. Hopefully it’s meaty. 40-60 hours worth of meat.

I think because its more of an expansion. Fromsoft makes really good, worthwhile and lengthy "dlc". $40 seems like a good deal to me

I have to assume it'll be minimum 40 hours of content.

Tortoise is great.

Ugh, was hoping bigger.

"Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree is coming in just a few months, and the DLC's map size is revealed to be comparable to (if not larger than) that of the base game's Limgrave."

Yeah, I can't imagine it will be longer than 20-25 hours then. Which is about how long all of their DLC ends up being. Which is why I balked at the $15 price increase for it.

I think I’ll wait for a sale. Got plenty to keep me busy until that discount hits.

I'm sure they'll cram lots in there but size wise, two years later... Was really hoping for a massive expansion. Oh well, still stoked.

Apparently to combat the insane levels of power you can reach in ER, in the DLC they are implementing the Sekiro level up system. Which I assume to mean you have to beat bosses to level up and there are no runes in that area.

Yah saw that recently and sounds like a good idea.

Hope it's real

Bloodborne fans rise up, we're finally getting that remake apparently

2 years later, Elden Ring dataminer finally uncovers the RPG's original starting location and restores an alternate opening that makes slightly more sense

I’ve been feeling like getting back into Elden Ring. Stopped after the literal firsthand main boss because tbh I felt fulfilled with that lol. I also had to do that early game cheese to level up in order to do it so I can’t imagine I’ll be able to make it much further. Awful at From games. But I do love the art direction and world in general so I may give it another go.

I'm trying to wrap up a few smaller games, and planning on a 3rd run before the DLC. Such a great game.

Started my 3rd Elden Ring playthrough - dex/bleed build - what it seems like everyone did the first time originally.

First build was a bit scattered, but more so int focused. Second round was str/fth (holy ez mode). This time, I'm excited to try something different.

Dual wield is fun and all, but it's odd not being able to block nor parry.

Feeling a bit weak so far, but having fun all over again.

Man, I love how dual wield just forces you to play way more aggressive. No hiding behind shields, no pew pew from distance.

Got the Nagakiba with Bloody Slash, which is just a bit op'd, but lots of fun.
My Uchigatana has Blood Blade, but I rarely use it.

I debate moving to Moonveil, but want to stick with dex/arcane and see how this plays out. So far, it's become pretty overpowered.

Haven't dug too deep yet, but is Rivers of Blood still a thing? I seem to remember that being everyone's favorite, but thought it got nerfed. I think that's way latter in the game though.

Man, this time I really wanted Dung Eater summon ... screwed up Seluvis, and now can't get Dung.

It was my own stupid fault. Went too far with Rannis line (after reading a post saying that was how to fix it) because I couldn't find Seluvis... Because I was in the wrong damn tower! Haha

Jesus you'd think after 3 times I'd remember something this basic by now, gdamnit.

Debating a restart but already 30 hours in. Oh well, I've never used Mimic in the past, maybe it's time to go that route.

Clearly just talking to myself at this point but I'm amazed that of my 3 runs, this is the first time I have took down Black Knife Tiche the first round. She was a struggle on my other builds.

I gave up on dual katanas in favor of 2h Elenoras Pole. Absolutely some cheese elements with it but super fun and way more interesting than any other weps I've used.

Yet again, melee is more op'd and easier than a casting build. If I go another round, think I want to play with fist weapons for even faster speed.

You jumped back in too early my dude. The DLC drops in like 7 weeks or something. You probably wont want to come back to it. You'll be done with the game in a week or so. And then just weeks later the DLC.

No way, it's got me way more pumped for the dlc. I'll have two characters on PC and one on PS5 ready to go for the dlc once it drops.

Malania is a ho that doesn’t know when to die.

Probably the funniest thing I've read on here in awhile...

There's a demo for a game called Morbid: The Lords of Ire on Steam, it's related to a similar game with the same sort of name but I didn't like that one. This one is.... okay. Better. Got to the boss and it after phase 1, there's another phase and I gave up after that. Small enemy variety in this demo. There is a block/riposte feature that needs to be used.

Well, this is annoying. Can't finish the last step of Rannis. Can't get the stupid dragon to spawn by Manus Celes.
