Are you bored with the game?

[Patrick Wayne]

It's already a month since the release. Are you bored yet?

[Drake Ravenwolf]

Bored? No... but I have completed the game so... I'm not playing it actively anymore
You do realize it is OK for that to happen right?
Like not every game must persist in perpetuity... aka "live service" games

I don't think a month is a lot for an open world game like Elden Ring. I can most likely find myself doing multiple playthrough of different builds and different quest paths.

This is how I felt about the Witcher 3. I just couldn't stop playing until I felt like I've exhausted all of the fuel. That could take maybe 3 months? I don't really know.

But I must acknowledge that these mostly singeplayer open world games will eventually run out of juice. It's inevitable because there isn't anything that could keep the majority of the players, who play the PVE aspects, continuously going for a longer period of time.

I finished it and different from previous Souls games, I saw no replay value in this one. PvE is too tiring and PvP is bad.

[Emmy]

Yeah, pretty much.

[Selri]

probably other players who burned their time through the game. I myself burned my time on it pretty much at 200+ hrs into the game on NG.


The tip not to get bored on it is:
1st dont rush the game
2nd dont spend like 8hours playing it only
3rd try other character builds min-max your damage
4th have an active community who's asking for help

NG+. I already seen all. Replaying the game also tiredsome, exploring again graces , gathering keys and whatnot. There is no reason to keep playing, I am pretty much done.

Probably interesting with Rune Level 1 run but not now.

This. 120-something hours in the game. Finished it. Satisfied with my ending. Content.

Waiting on DLC(s), and then I'll play the same game (not Journey 2), finish them up, and then contemplate if I want to start another journey.

Not "bored" at all.

I am worried about the replayability of Elden Ring due to its size. Right now I am not worried because I haven't finished it and far from it, but eventually when I finish it I am uncertain if I would replay it again and again over and over like with previous DS games.

It is something like Skyrim. Too big and intimidatiing (take up a lot of hours 100-200 which I am sure not everyone has available as wish to have). Not that many players actually finish Skyrim....mostly fool around or abandon later when got bored...too big as well.

[Nico Nico Knee]

Kinda but mainly because i suck at it

i have seen this type of comments on every game released recently, why would anyone will expect a single player campaign to endure that much?
(even if it has pvp and coop, its the same single player campaign)

i think some people really cant see the difference between fortnite, MMOs, FPS competitive games, GTA online etc etc with open world rpgs or any single player game for that matter

this game arent made to keep a high player count, they are made to sell as much as possible (1 payment only unless is one of those games with those damn microtransactions for useless skins or progress)

Thats very interesting. For me the larger games are the more replayable ones, obviously there needs to be more than just a large world but it really helps just being able to get out there and explore places I may have missed the first time around.

No, i'm on NG+ using sorcery. I wanna go NG++ with STR/FAITH then i wanna go NG+++ with STR/DEX and use a lot of ashes of war because some look super cool to use and i wanna do some cosplay runs too.

I totally feel this. I have 2 pretty well developed characters and when I think about making a new one for a different build I realize just how much content I would have to do and I say hell nah that would take forever

[Homeless.]

Wouldn't say bored but I need a break, it's definitely not as replayable as previous games for multiple NG+ runs. I would like a pvp arena or something to get the fire going again

[ɸ It That Dwells ɸ]

Nope. Hundreds of hours and still going strong.
