This or Elden Ring?

[Dovah]

They come out within nearly a week of one another...

Edit: Elden Ring was delayed to Feb 25.

So...you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.

Did you put more hours into Monster Hunter World, or Dark Souls 3?

#1 - These aren't the same kind of game. Rise is a boss rush game first and foremost, Elden Ring is going to be an open world Souls RPG.

#2 - We don't even know how Elden Ring is going to play yet, you can play the demo for this. Think for yourself man.

Why not both???!!

Theyre both worth getting, even though theyve been tight lipped on elden ring you know fromsoft wont disappoint and we already know what Rise is.

They also arent the same kinda game, they may appeal to some of the similar kinds of players but its a whole different experience

Haha, yes i wasnt trying to compare, at all. It's just ive only got so much time to play and a week doesnt feel like enough for a mh game. Also, i imagine elden ring will pretty much be what we expect but luckily we'll prob see it at the game awards. So we can judge it (visually anyway) b4 we purchase either...never pre-order and all.

Only so much time, but eventually yes for both.

If you haven't played any iceborne, then it sounds like you aren't hungry for 'more monster hunter', and that's pretty much exactly what each new MH game offers. So probably Elden Ring.

Ya, i just hope there is enough ppl still playing the old content (base game) when i do choose to pick mhr up around the x-pack. FOMO is a bitch

If you think Elden Ring will tide you over until the release of Sunbreak, you might be better off going with that. Solely based on the fact that Sunbreak will add a lot more content, and likely Rise will be discounted by then or there will be some sort of bundle deal with Rise + Sunbreak cheaper than both separately.

Plenty of people still playing World now years later, so it's a safe bet. Also, as mentioned above Sunbreak will come out, and that will bring a bunch of people back too.

no, in all fromsoft games you can easily just spam roll/deflect against everything whenever you want. in rise youre stuck finishing your attack animation before you can do any of that. plus in fromsoft games you can just farm low level mobs and level up your vitality if youre struggling

Bait. Of. Poor. Quality.

If you're looking for a challenge you will be sorely disappointed with Rise. It's a great game but it is far from challenging. Magnomalo in the demo is by far harder than anything so far in Rise.
