  • I reallllly hope we don’t have to finish the story to jump into the DLC. After an almost 200 hour first playthrough I thought “oh man I want to do this again!” I got a quarter way through NG+ and put the game down and didn’t get around to finishing it.

    I loved Elden ring as a concept, I think it was an extremely interesting twist on the formula. However for replayability I feel like it suffered heavily. The vast open world takes a long time to get through (mainly if you’re really trying to beeline directly from point A to B.) And if you need specific items or materials I feel like having to replay the various tombs /mini dungeons would be more chore like than fun.

    I only came to this realization after playing demon souls and bloodborne for the first time recently. There’s very little filler a person would need to go through when replaying those older fromsoft titles. I’m so torn though because I really liked exploring in Elden Ring.

    Sorry for the novel lol










  • I thought the second was interesting. I didn’t like it as much as the first but for what it was it was pretty good.

    The way they made the open world didn’t work very well in some ways. For example to get the player into new areas they had to funnel them through specific choke points. Additionally I wasn’t a fan of forced combat.

    However I thought the main missions and the graphics were high points. I enjoyed finding various collectibles/exploring and some time trials were actually a pretty good time. I hope one day they decide to revisit the series but I have a feeling it might be shelved for quite a long time.





  • Your mileage may vary with Razer products. I’m not sure how reliable they are now. But I have a Razer Naga Epic from over a decade ago and it’s still kicking and going strong. I am hoping it will still hang on for another ten years at least. It’s super nice.

    Edit: I should also mention i probably got lucky? I’ve always heard iffy things about their products online. I’m not sure how mine hasn’t had any issues yet, but I try to keep it clean. The one thing I do need to do is eventually lube the scroll wheel a bit. It has a little squeak when I scroll.
