Glad to see it doing well in Japan as well.

H9811d ago

That's a big launch for a game like this in japan

Nyxus811d ago

I read somewhere that it's the biggest FromSoft launch ever in Japan.

H9811d ago

Yes it is, and this number is too big for a non-Nintendo game

Neonridr811d ago

@H9 - nah, we've seen some solid numbers for non-Nintendo games before, but I'm sure come next week these will tail off.

Nyxus811d ago

@ Neonridr: next week GT7 will be out. Not sure how well it will do but GT is a pretty big deal in Japan.

H9810d ago

@Neonridr didn't say they don't happen, but they are rare

Neonridr810d ago

@Nyxus - exactly, these numbers will tail off because something else comes along.

And GT will be massive next week

lucian229810d ago

sweeeeet; hoping for some DLC and eventual Elden Ring 2

MADGameR810d ago

Not bad for an overrated game

dmonee810d ago

I concur! Definitely a game for the fan base.

babadivad810d ago

Is it over rated? I haven't played it yet.

lucian229810d ago

Nah it's amazing honestly

Mr_Luke810d ago

It's great. And i'm not a Souls games fan. I got convinced by what i heard and saw, then decided to buy it.
And even if it's hard (for me, not used to play this kind of games) i keep trying and trying, i feel the need to continue.
Just a personal opinion of course.

lucian229810d ago (Edited 810d ago )

Breath of the wild is over rated..... Elden ring not so much.

Elden Ring Killed Gaming For Me & It's About To Do It Again

Saad from eXputer: "Utilizing its myriad strengths and masterful design, Elden Ring ruined gaming for me in a way I'll always be thankful for."

GhostScholar15d ago

It sounds like you’re just an eldenring fan and not so much a fan of games by and large. Which theres nothing wrong with.

RoadRacer15d ago

The author's profile appears to state otherwise. I believe they just got a massive shock with Elden Ring, something that stuck around. To each their own I guess

Crows9015d ago

Elden ring ruined from software for me....maybe.

I hope their next game isn't open world too...

ravens5215d ago

I have yet to beat Elden Ring. Not cause it's too hard , I've beaten Sekiro, Bloodborne, Demon Souls etc. Also I could just make my character op but I prefer to play under leveled. It's too big. I beat Radaghan or the moon lady last then got lost, lost for years lol. I'm going to beat it tho. Haven't played it in a while

Crows9015d ago

I platinumed the game but hated the open world aspect...started great but then after a bit you notice all the repeated dungeons and bosses...it got massively tedious and much preferred late game areas in a typical souls game than the open world repetition.

GhostScholar15d ago

The ole “I’m so good at hard games I had to play under leveled to get challenged and if I worked that hard in real life I wouldn’t be working at Walmart”

ravens5214d ago

? Don't work at Walmart or any type of retail...lol. But w.e. Makes you feel better about ya sad life 🤷🏽 lol. You probably just suck at games lmao.

I loved it but yeah it is just overwhelmingly massive and confusing, I don’t think I’ll ever finish it.

The 7 Best Souls-Like Games - Mastering the Challenge

The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?

toxic-inferno51d ago

Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.

kevco3350d ago

Still DS1? You don't feel it's been surpassed yet?

Demon's Souls has the remake of course, but DS1 has surely been outdated?

Smellsforfree50d ago

I think that the DS1 remake is better looking than DS2. The interior lighting matched with the low resolution textures in DS2 is very garish, IMO.

Besides graphics, what do you mean by DS1 being "outdated"? I'm someone who played through Elden Ring and just recently played through the DS series, and as far as gameplay went, there were all very similar.

Cacabunga50d ago

I haven’t played many but Bloodborne and NIOH1 are on top of my list.. had a blast with these 2

toxic-inferno50d ago

For world design and interconnectedness (that's a word, right?) DS1 is yet to be beaten.

anast18d ago

All great games beside DS2.

toxic-inferno18d ago

I would agree, but there are some things in DS2 that are great and incredibly memorable. It tries to do things differently, and there are some amazingly cinematic moments.

Of course, there's also poor level design (particularly the interconnectivity of the world), questionable combat choices and some of the worst boss runs since the early days of video games...

anast18d ago

True. I can't disagree the game has some moments.
