Godric sounds like a Bloodborne boss
I k ow there’s a great article out there but I wish these videos were more focused and structured…. A lot of just gameplay and free flow thoughts from Dan. Would have liked to see segmented videos about transversal, consumables, combat, story, etc.
Why you take up half the screen with your faces, te
Is Bloody Wolf only in the network test?

I'm glad to hear Alex point out how Dan is very particular in taste with games and is only impressed by ingenuity and originality, as that is something he and I share, and it's also why Dan is my favorite member over there at Team Game Informer and the person I trust the most to provide me with feedback and speculation on upcoming games 👍
I wish this were 10 hours long….
Props to GI for getting the perfect man for the job. This is the kind of dedication and love of games that game journalism is severely lacking. No political BS, just the game. Great coverage gentlemen.
Great video but I also wanted to shout out how great Dan looks!
Great info. Thank you very Much!
I'd guarantee twin maidens are respec mechanic
Can’t wai
Game informer will not stop milking this game…
Surprised Sony hasn't bought up From Software, even though they seem to have a good relationship with each other and Sony sees this company as a great asset. Rumor is, Sony has more acquisitions planned in the upcoming future, so maybe it's a possibility?
this game needs some form of RT GI + RT AO so bad.
I´m gonna enjoy it nonetheless, but the non-shadow throwing light sources everywhere really ..really.. hurt the atmosphere and make the game look dated.
At least the torch that you carry around and the graces could really have done with being actual "realistic" lightsources.
Alex “ that yellow ball in the sky…is that the the sun? “
You fucking milk those 10 hours no joke
I hate to be a negative nancy, but the background music is somehow really distracting
Took a week off of work just for Elden Ring release.
I have never wanted to play a from software game but, Dan is really selling me on this one.
That "10/10" review score is coming.
I wonder if they had people play this version Remotely so there's no possibility of it leaking like the Network Test did lol.
I can't wait to play this game it looks amazing and out of all the games released this year this one will not let me down like the others did.i know in my heart this will be a great game and my new favorite souls like game and we all know games reused assets from previous games a lot of games do that. A lot of the games this year have been let me downs for me like far cry 6. Far cry 6 only took me 2 days of playing before I had enough of the game. dying light 2 is good but it is missing some of those things that made the frist one so good a lot of people were disappointed to see that there where no guns in the game and that they took out being able to throw your weapons at the enemy's to get that last use out of them before it breaks but besides those things I find the game to be worth the money and a really good game. To me games are supposed to help you relax and escape your terrible reality and to help you take that break from what ever is stressing you out and to get lost in the game story and just forget your problems for a bit and for me There has not been a game for me in years where I just get lost and absorb into the game and it story. dying light 2 did do a little bit of that for me. But the dark souls games and Bloodborn still do that for me to this day and evey time I play them and I can never get enough. Yes it can be hard at times but it so worth it when you beat that boss or area in the game not that I find evey boss in those game to be too hard but some are a challenge at times.
This tickled my pickle.. can't wait to play 😫
9 more days boys
I don't know why anyone would watch an Elden Ring video if they were concerned about minor spoilers.
@Game Informer , or #AnyFans ,
I am trying to decide whether or not to order a copy of #EldenRing ; However, I am going in 100% blind , having never played any of the prior #Souls titles. I typically play very few games and very picky, but I love games like RDR & RDR2 , FarCry, GOW, Tomb Raider, types of games & the open world/ adventure/ explorations & story telling.
What should I expect with #EldenRing and do you have any suggestions or with the lore being so deep, am I going to be entirely lost? Or do you think this game will allow for new players to jump into this world and enjoy their time?
If Dan tack does not review Elden Ring for game informer we fucking riot we fucking RIOT!
I feel that Elden Ring will be both the easiest and hardest Souls like game so far. Not cause of difficulty. In terms of making things easier, just that it gives you more ways and tools to get the job done. But dials up the challenge abit more to balance things out. I feel that the Original games were too challenging for me cause of their linear nature and more based on pure skill etc. While this game, is basically the first of the series to branch out and try and welcome many other types of players new to the franchise but in a more accessible way than many games before did. Ive never pre ordered a souls game before. But im taking a chance with Elden Ring. This game has turned someone like me, who absolutely HATED souls games, into someone who is willing to finally give it a shot.
