Decided to make a thread about a game since this is kinda rare in this section

I like the way combat looks. Never read or watched anything Harry Potter so ill be going in blind

I'll be going PC tho

The headphones and 3D audio are dope. The sound of spellcasting in the Demon's Souls remake is incredible.

The Dualsense I am yet to be wowed by honestly, hoping Sony bring more support to PC so it gets more opportunities to do so.

Hopefully there's not a bunch of mandatory gimmicky sh*t in there. The controller is alright but this game should be fire and able to stand on its own. Day 1 cop

Day 1


And I’m going everywhere in Ravenclaw colors

Love the dualsense

it's nothing revolutionary or groundbreaking yet, but it's easily the only controller I've ever used that genuinely adds to the experience and has the capability of increasing the fun factor of a game.

Have a feeling this game is going to be the Holiday season's Elden Ring (the one that every casual picks up but never finishes)

No lie I thought PB made this thread that’s why I was duckin it ain’t wanna console war it out



But it seems really cool with the dual sense

Don't know if I'll cop this, but if I do I'll try it with that stuff on. I usually have it all off to save battery

i dont give a sh*t about harry pooter but the gameplay looks pretty solid

Elden Ring has a really solid completion rate, and not just for a FromSoft game.

it really doesn't but ok lol

I just hope there's enough character customization to make this feel like a genuine game and not a half-assed licensing cash grab

Easily over 25% have beaten it on Steam which is a lot higher than say HFW (similar genre and release date.)

lol yeah because so many casuals use steam right?

a month ago it hadn't even cracked 10% on either console (the things casuals gamers use to play video games) and just for your own records, HFW was at 14% at the same time.


and only 24% have gotten the easiest ending on steam btw

You think there are no casual gamers on PC?

It's been Platinumed by not far from 10% of players on Playstation.

When did I say there are no casuals on PC?

I implied that there are far fewer casuals on PC and far more hardcore gamers on PC...I don't even know why you'd try to argue that lol.

Casuals don't platinum games bro, that's why we call them casuals.

Is it really that serious that you need to die on this "casuals actually did beat Elden ring" hill?

lol

day 1

Or the game is far easier and more accessible than you think and the numbers show that there are a lot of people beating it.

Not sure what stats you're looking at, but a higher percentage of people have the Elden Ring platinums over the HFW platinums.

Even though they take longer.

ok big guy

Platinums really aren't a great way to gauge casual gamer engagement. Casuals don't tend to platinum games. That shouldn't be a controversial statement lol.

So what exactly are you comparing then? Just the story completion? Because the combined Elden Ring PS5 endings is also higher than the HFW PS5 ending. Even though the story takes nearly twice the time to complete in Elden Ring, on average.

Granted some people would get multiple endings, which muddies the waters a bit, but even removing 20% to account for those with the platinum would still put Elden Ring slightly higher.

10% of 12+ million vs 14% of maybe a couple million
