I want it, but I also want it without every freaking influencer, blogger, journalist, reviewer, or pop culture celeb making videos about their playthrough of it. I own the Overture book about the Stress Test. While it was cool to see content from it. I realized how I didn’t give myself the opportunity to see things for myself. While I don’t or shouldn’t care. I’d much rather have this stealth drop then see it exploited to the point where the excitement is some buzzword by someone else. I don’t remember paying any attention when the Dark Souls DLC came out.
I love the community getting together and discovering all the game has to offer. I’m also kinda tired of the massive exploit just to cash in on being a reviewer. lol if that makes any sense. It gets old after a while.

Its open world, I would imagine you access it when go specific place in the map.

Those mostly applies to PVP part of the game which I never cared for.

Not by much, weapons like Blasphemous still very strong against most bosses.

Just a top of my head
Flames of redmane
Moonveil
Rivers of blood
Falling star beast jaw
Horfrost stomp
Cragblade
Swarn of flies
Sword Of Night And Flame
Mimic tear
Bleed in general
Stagger was also nerfed in general
All PvE nerf
Blasphemous blade is a mid to late game weapon...it is not something that you carry you from a start.

Moonveil and Rivers of Blood still very strong, in fact I would say they still too strong.....Mimic Tear is understandable, that just way too OP.

Elden Ring: Bongborne Edition.

Because it open world nature, we can assume this going big DLC but even so, Old Hunters for Bloodborne wasn't all that long but that didn't stopped from being REALLY GOOD.
Im pretty confident it will be a third of OG Elden Ring, so Im thinking 60 plus.

I'm also thinking third of base, but my calculation is 40h then
My first playthrough was around 200 hours thats thats why I threw that number outI'm also thinking third of base, but my calculation is 40h then

There's a very good mod called "Elden Ring FPS unlock and more" which lets you set the framerate. I use that, along with a mod that removes ALL shader stuttering.
Also added a reshade brightness mod that makes the game pop and look so much more alive and dynamic.
Now playing in 165fps in 4K, ultra smooth and beautiful.
A huge upgrade from the ps5 and xbox versions which I played earlier.

Think it’ll be a really short gap between full reveal and release. Prolly like 6-8 weeks tops

Last time I checked the PC version still had stutter issues.
I watch chase the bro on YouTube and I'm pretty sure he's PC.

I may hold off on playing it on PS5 until the Pro comes out. Should bring it to a flat 60fps.

I just got Elden Ring on sale but have to put it back for a couple months, this year I've played too many souslikes including Sekiro and Dark Souls 3 and even if I want more and more, I rather keep some self control, those games are just too addictive to me and love them so much I'm actively trying to avoid future burn out

It's poorly optimized on everything but PS4 via PS5
You could go that route or use VRR with the PS5 version.
I wouldn't wait regardless game is incredible.

I can relate to that, once you get in to the loop its very hard to put it down.

Just install the "stutter fix"mod on Nexus mods, and it will be butter smooth. It's obviously a shame that we need mods to fix it, but it takes one minute to fix. Very easy.
It seems like it's a CPU multi core problem. When multi cores are enabled the performance gets worse. The mod fixes it so we don't need to manually adjust.
AC6 didn't have any of these problems (and did not have a 60fps limit),so im optimistic that ER was the last From game with these kind of issues.

Its clear by now the the expansion is not coming out in Feb.....most games that are coming out in Feb already have proper gameplay trailer.
Meanwhile the only thing we have from Shadow of the Erdtree is this image.
These rumours so far are have been total lies......

Elden ring is not 180 hours lol.
I had done every single dungeon in close to 90 hours.

Why?
Enable vrr man. It helps with some dips.
Not all because Elden rings drops below 48fps a lot but it does help good 75% of times.
Yeah but I got everything basically and beat every boss. Im a scraper.
