Donât know if pre-loading on Seam is worth it, since it usually takes longer to decrypt than to download, but I guess it doesnât matter I wonât be able to play until Friday night at the earliest.

Iâve come this far without watching or reading ANYTHING about this, would be pointless to start now.

I am NOT a souls player, my reaction time is bad and tolerance for punishment for my mistakes is pretty low but I pre-ordered this anyways.
I am desperate for a good new open world game.

I also have bad reaction time. Itâs why I struggle with certain kind of games. For instance I couldnât do Sekiro because you have to have good reaction time. The Dark Souls games are slower and itâs more about learning the moves of the enemies. When that clicked the games became amazing.
But yeah, you will have to have a high tolerance for punishment.

You and me both. Sekiro is too much for me. I canât react that fast to parry timing. Never happening.

Yeah, I think weâre all in that boat, not sure if the reaction times are directly related to age (though Iâm sure it plays a part). I love Sekiro and can appreciate it for what it is and what they were trying to do, itâs just not for me.
But a more Souls-like experience is more my flavour. I have never really gotten frustrated with a Souls game, nor do they make me rage or get me angry. On the contrary, I find it rather relaxing and methodical.

I expect some 7 point reviews from all the hyped launch day players. 7 things worthy of highlighting. They can be good, they can be bad. What it will never be, is an equally balanced or average score.

I really liked the parrying and countering in Sekiro, but the thing I liked most in it was the stealth. Iâm guessing this game wonât have any stealth (Iâve not watched any footage) but maybe it has something else Iâll enjoy.
Still more interested in Horizon personally, but at least Elden Ring is actually available on PC immediately.

Iâm contemplating if I should quickly hop over to New Zealand and see if I can play.

Created my character, and did the tutorial section. It has some game-changing elements that just make it so cool.
