I recently was exposed to this game from a good friend and it got me excited for some reason. Historically, I do not play a lot of video games. I do enjoy Zelda games, most recently Tears of the Kingdom. Would I like Elden Ring. It seems like a lot to learn but something is calling me to it. And my friend has offered to let me borrow a PC to play on. Anyone here a fan of the game?

Maybe the best game I've ever played.. the scale is mind-blowing!
I would not play it on my own though.. do it coop and it's so much fun.

It's funny that this reply happened today. I just started playing finally. I am borrowing a friend's old PC and it is a cracked version to try it out. so I don't think I can play co op. It's a lot. Beautiful though. I don't know if I'll get into or not.

It's way too hard single player imo
I think the coop mod might even work with cracked - worth grabbing a copy of CD keys for cheap though imo..
Has your mate got another rig to play with you?

He does. He hasn't really got into the game yet. He is always looking for a game to play though. I haven't played anything other than Nintendo Switch games for while. Another challenge is my internet is pretty slow out here. I am offgrid, all my devices running off a hotspot that is limited to 500kbps. I am guessing that might be slow for online coop play? If I like it, I would be happy to get it paid for and try multiplayer if its possible.

Well he lives about 200 miles away. And I am in the middle of the desert. Not a great setup for LAN either. We live in small campers. I miss LAN parties from my teen years. Good memories.

It's for hard core gamers. When you have coupe hours a week at most to relax and play games this is not the game to play. This game brings memories of the times when you had 3 lives and after they are gone you need to start level from the beginning.

Maybe I am interested because it seems like it requires a lot of patience and could pay it forever.

I am NOT a hardcore gamer and I probably wouldn't want to spend a ton of time. So you are saying it isn't for me. hmmm.

So yes, it requires a lot of patience, and yes - you can probably play if forever, which means if you don't dedicate enough time to it you won't see much progress. I really wanted to play this game, I even gave it 3 tries:) but my problem is, I really don't have this time and there were literally months of no progress. But hope you enjoy it;)

I think I am intrigued because this is a lesson I am working on in life. The lesson of enjoying the journey and being okay with slow progress. Being okay with being a beginner. Historically I get very frustrated when I can't make something happen as fast as I want. And I feel patience and enjoying the process is a key to enjoying life. So the game within the game of life can help with this lesson. Or maybe I will get frustrated right away and quite. We will see.
