What are you playing?

[MazinKaesar]

I would like to start again to play the SNES version of Wizardy: Llylgamyn's Saga on my SAM460...

wondering why so many years before a reliable emulation
Microsoft perhaps?
i mean, the PS2 emulation is ok from a long time now

'Tell Me Why'

Not really a game, more of an interactive story.

Not Bad ---
but if I had paid for it I would have felt disappointed.

Indy work great with 10X Upscale





Most other games work well obviously not every game works perfect with full upscale


** I tried for the 2nd time to play Elden Ring on PC.. As much as I want to play it, like many people say, its not for me...

I can't figure out what and how the controls work.. everything seems like a "Do this attack at this time" to continue forward type of game



I got the first fighting area in the open world, killed a wolf but couldnt strategically kill off all the soldiers

I'm not sure what do you mean? The controls are pretty much the same as in every other 3rd person hack'n slash game. Lock onto opponent, use strong/weak attacks (with v.simple combos) , block or dodge to avoid getting hit.

Of course it's a bit more nuanced if you want to play really well and/or survive later, but for starting area it really should be enough. Though maybe you shouldn't take on more than one opponent even in there But this game has simple stealth so you can slaughter that first camp pretty easily (also can draw opponents one by one).

There's also a sort of training dungeon where you start from what I remember.

you're playing it with a controller... right?

[TCD]

Elden Ring's controls are quite intuitive if you played any 3rd person action-ish game... with a controller. When I first tried Arkham Asylum with mouse + keyboard it felt really off. Once I used a controller it 'clicked' at once.

[ransom1122]

Xb1 controller to PC... or I can use keyboard??? Either way there was no tutorial, no training. So it left me in the dark

[dreadnought]

The tutorial is in the area called Cave of Knowledge: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.co...nded+graveyard

You probably can go back there even if you missed it at the beginning.

[TCD]

^ This.

[gimbal]

Wow, you can miss the tutorial? That's next level FromSoft

Of course FromSoft will be FromSoft. In Dark Souls you get immediately thrown into a giant boss before you get your weapon There is just no better way to learn how to run and roll.

No you can't. You will immediately go to jail.

[ransom1122]

I did see that giant hole oyu can fall down at the start, i guess i missed that, maybe when i revisit one day ill jump down there...

[dreadnought]

I like ER a lot, it's From Software after all, but I think I prefer the closed-world Dark Souls formula. It's just much more focused and somewhat easier when trying to figure out how on Earth to progress (which is cryptic enough as it is anyway). Here, I just wander around not quite sure how to go about the 1st boss.

Also the art assets are obviously better in smaller areas. That sprawling castle in Dark Souls III is unmatched when it comes to environmental design even now, years later.
