Jump in now or wait for summer sales?

[Connory]

I've been waiting to buy Elden Ring for quite a while now, part of it being unsure if it's the right game for me (I havent played any dark souls games at all.)

I live in Canada, and looking on gg.deals, the best right now is the DLC bundle for 90$. I plan on getting the bundle, so would it go for much lower? Considering hiw few times the game has went on deep discounts so far.

there is already a 20 dollar discount on the game + dlc bundle, dont expect any sale anytime soon

Not anytime soon

If youre not sure then yeah i would recommend waiting for a discount.

These games are primarily know for their difficulty in combat, the game wont hold your hand, and mistakes are heavily punished.

Most of the lore is hidden behind item descriptions or dialogue with NPCs.

A strong point of the souls games is their build diversity, where you can be a mage, pyromancer, swordsman, etc.

The highlight of the games would be their bosses, which can be brutal but amazing.

Are you not poor? -> buy it

I got the base game on a third party site for 32 USD a few weeks ago, looks like its not under 50 USD today though, but Im sure if you wait a few weeks it can be found for cheaper. I wouldn't worry about the DLC for now, the base game is at least 150-200 hours of play without the DLC and you can just wait for that to go on sale later

just buy it
if it's not the right game for you refund it

Id get it now because the community may never be this active again. This is the easiest fromsoft souls game, if you get stuck there's a dozen different ways to get around any obstacle. With the community as active as it is, you've got plenty of help available. You can add me if you want I'll be happy to answer questions and do coop if you decide to get it.

Nothing beats jumping into a From game when its a brand new release or new DLC release. The online shenanigans alone via messages, co op, and invades are worth the price of admission to play with the rest of the community while the population is high

Even with the possible summer sale discount, it's about the same price as just getting the bundle with the expansion.
The bundle doesn't get discounted if you already own the game, so there's no point buying the two separately.

Sincerely doubt it's gonna be on sale right after the DLC drops.
