    I ordered it (PC) and really looking forward to it but I can see myself admiring it, but ultimately playing it for 15mins like I did for every other Souls-type game I own.

      Sounds like I'm in good company...

        I really hope that this does work as the inroad for all of you who've had crappy experiences with Souls games to date. I've been avoiding media and trying not to get too excited about it in the run up, but it's now so bloody close!

            Pre-ordered this for £40. Who am I kidding, I've loved Souls since Demons so not even a silly bouncy horse is going to dampen my ardour! It looks the tits. I really hope they can do something interesting with the open world, however, as - BotW aside - it's a gameplay model I tend to lose patience with. But it doesn't look like it's going for the Ubisoft/Witcher map-spam approach, so that's promising.

              More equine trampolining is only a plus in my book.

                I know this makes me a dick but I was more into the souls games when nobody else knew about them. It’s not the same if you don’t import it from Japan and have no idea what to do and nobody on the internet does either. Enjoy all! My time is done with these. Maybe…

                  You’ll need to find a new niche hobby, if you want to create that feeling again… But I know that feeling you are referring to. It makes it all extra special.

                  I am looking forward to this dropping in a few days. I’ve only seen a few select videos on it and it already looks overwhelming. I’ve always found traversing on horse back to be a bit fiddly in games, but maybe it’s a bit more refined in this game.

                  Hopefully, the games length is as long as previous souls-borne games too.

                    I just don't have enough hours in the day for this as well as Horizon and GT7 soon. I really REALLY want to play it too. I know I'll sink a lot of time into it.

                      I know what you mean but this sensation wouldn't have lasted you very long, as the word-of-mouth reputation of Demons was so strong it was translated and released into the west really quite quickly. I also imported it, put it on a shelf a couple of months, then installed and struggled with it for a while, and then the western release was announced. I think every one after that had simultaneous worldwide release.

                      Maybe one can regain a bit of that superiority by disdaining Elden Ring for now and then playing when all the hype has died down and the hordes have moved on.

                          Plus it’ll be a lot cheaper so you’ll save money as well, also loads if patches to sort the inevitable glitches out.

                            Or the game is chock-full of cheaters that's nigt unplayable, at least on PC. I'm going for that version but I have no faith in BaNa actually doing anything against hackers and cheaters.
