A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Elden Ring. I had never played a FromSoft game before so I really had no idea what I was getting into. I played through it seven times with my main character, got the platinum trophy, and then spun up a new character on my sons playstation account to platinum it for him as well.

Definitely got value for my money on that purchase.

Elden Ring really is a nice evolution of the Fromsoft style, I've been playing their games since Demon's Souls launch day on the PS3 and have 100hrs in Elden Ring.

I have no idea how far I got before other games pulled my attention, but I've also never finished a Fromsoft game, maybe Elden Ring will be the first one eventually.

For me it was Dark Souls 3 for a long time, it felt like the most easily accessible around the time of it's release. And then Elden Ring hit, and just blew that and all the other Souls games that FromSoft have made out of the water. Talk about outdoing yourself lol.

I'd say that DS1 stayed my favourite thru til Elden Ring launched, but it was a linear progression in playability.
