Yay or nay? Reading user reviews they are saying its completely overhyped and really boring.

I like my games to be story driven and I Have never played Dark Souls before.

Will I be disappointed with Elden Ring if I buy it?

There are multiples of some bosses but they aren't lazy... at least I don't think they are. It's hard to explain without spoiling the game, it's really good and if you enjoyed Dark Souls 1-2-3 and Bloodborne, you'll love this.

I'm not sure boring is the right word. It's a FromSoft game and you either click with their idiosyncratic gameplay loop or you don't.

PS4 Pro version. Plays fine but the loading times are bad. My mate and my son are taking the piss for me refusing to buy a PS5.

Yeah, but is it really worth it? I hear the hype, but you enjoying it a lot?

I've only so much time for games nowadays - only really want to entertain spending time on stuff that's properly good.

I’m enjoying it. I’m not sure about ‘a lot’ because it’s not that type of game. It can be very difficult and frustrating but that makes it more satisfying when you do beat a bitch of a boss.

Just got 3 bosses left to beat now:

  • Horah Loux
  • Elden Beast
  • Malenia

So should have the platinum soon. About 125 hrs.

Incidentally I think I've nearly exhausted the Earth's supply and reserves of 'FUCK OFF's during these 125 hrs.

Nothing left to do now. Playing Bloodborne in the interim :)

Heh, I'm tempted to jailbreak one of my PS4's so I can play Bloodborne at 60fps, it's meant to be really fun at 60fps.
