Elden Ring Technical Test Impressions – Accessible Souls | MP1st

MP1st gets some hands-on time with the Elden Ring Network Test, and came away impressed. Here's the site's full in-depth, hands-on impressions.

Now, I like to consider myself a Souls vet. I've platinumed every Souls game from Fromsoftware to date. That being said, I didn't find this incredibly easy. Like, yes using the wolf spirit summons and floating sword art helped, but it's still challenging. I mean Margit still would kill all wolf spirits by his second phase and you need to be pretty good at knowing when to cast spells to avoid taking hits.

I still couldn't kill the dragon and I did die multiple times even using this combo.

Is it more accessible? Maybe by a technicality because you're able to maintain distance using this setup, but I'm still not sure this is "Accessible Souls". I feel all Souls game can be "Accessible" when you summon a good player and hang back. This, I wouldn't say, is a game that if you sucked at Souls games you can easily solo.

Thanks for reading. To be clear, as I said in the article, more accessible doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy and it’s still a From game. But the things I mentioned that they’ve added to this game, at least based on the CNT, does in fact make it more accessible than the previous games. I also mention right away that you have access to summoning help right away and never suggest that this will make the game easy.

I managed to kill Margit on my first attempt using magic and the wolves. It’s extremely doable to do solo.

And I summoned help to kill the dragon and I used magic and my summoned player used the lightning weapon art to take it down from a distance.

why is that dumb? It's the same price everywhere else.

repsahj45d ago

Because it's Nintendo. Post negative first before analizing.

LiViNgLeGaCY44d ago

Because this is the ONLY version you can buy on the S2, correct? I don't think you can buy just the game for $60 like the other platforms. And if I'm wrong about this, then I take it back.

LiViNgLeGaCY44d ago

@repsahj - Dude, shut up. I like Nintendo a lot, actually. I just want the option to get the base game for $60 WITHOUT the DLC. I've done plenty of "analyzing".

Neonridr45d ago

Before anyone complains, this is the same price on PlayStation, Xbox and Steam. It comes with the Game and the DLC.

Elda45d ago

The game is $40 & the expansion is $40 so the price is right.

VersusDMC45d ago

The standard edition physical should have been 40 then with the expansion seperate. Why normalize 80 dollar games? Specially ports of old games.

If people accept this might as well make physical 80 dollar deluxe versions only.

repsahj45d ago

This $80 version is also available on PS5 and XSX.

VersusDMC44d ago

@repsahj

The ps5 has the standard version and the 80$ version so it gives you the choice...on switch 2 physical you can only buy the 80 dollar version.

I guess since they got the data that less than half of elden ring players beat the game and would probably not buy the DLC, they decided to just not make it an option and charge more...

Like it or not, the vast majority of game sales are digital. Just like movies, and music. At least Gamekey cards are shareable and you can sell them.
