jonamok Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Returnal was the best game I played in 2021. By far. Elden Ring is the best game I’ve ever played. By further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaveDisco Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Going from Returnal (stuck at Biome 5) to Elden Ring, certainly feels like I've moved over to the easier game. I'll come back to Returnal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirubagan Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Played for an hour this morning and had three awful, awful runs. Can't wait to jump back in later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirubagan Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Just got to Phrike for the first time, did the first two waves with little error then fell apart on the third wave. I respawned in the replicator thing and now I’m back in Phrike’s room but he won’t respawn. I can’t suspend, teleport or do anything. Edit: a known bug which HM haven’t addressed still. FFS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are in the same class. This. Genuinely one of my favourite games ever. Couple of reasons for that. Selene controls better, she's so damn snappy. It's also much more nex-gen in terms of effects, DualSense support and audio. Returnal's narrative is much more compelling to me. But mostly it's that amazing creepy sci-fi atmosphere it has. I much prefer sci-fi to fantasy and as much as I love Elden Ring I really want From to move on from that. Here's a walkthrough of the Tower mode. I skipped the boss fight and story sequence myself as I didn't want to be spoiled by it. Looks fun as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylian Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Must resist... I watched a tiny bit, but I think I want to experience this fresh and figure it out as I go. Looks like there's quite a lot of new systems and even new enemies. Can't wait to get stuck in on Tuesday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity Vemsie, did you redefine any of the controls for this? I keep on attempting it, but find I'm a bit too used to the "dark souls" style defaults.

Hylian Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Mapping dash and melee to left and right buttons made a lot of sense to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you're such a fan who will have played it a lot I imagine I was curious to know! I too think I prefer the default controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Panic Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 A lot of people recommended turning. On always dash, but I only do it for bosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first half of Returnal is more hostile than any From game, but as Returnal goes on you end up feeling like god which doesn’t really happen with From games. Even when you git gud in those you still have to exercise a certain caution in how you play, whereas in Returnal when you git gud you can make the screen explode while you dance a glorious bolero of death. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylian Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Do we think this is likely to maintain a procedural / random element, or is it the same rooms every time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
