    I spent a long time on all the side quests prior to beating Margit the Fell Omen.  Only taken a few cracks at Godrick the Grafted.  For  an aging gamer in his 40’s who usually plays turn based strategy games, or games that let you pause and think I gotta say this game is as tough as advertised but I love it.

    Cant remember the last single player RPG I played where you couldn’t eventually win any fight  by just outleveling the opponent then spamming your best 1 or 2 attacks.  Even Skyrim and Dragon Age’s highest difficulty levels were jokes.

    Yeah this really isn't a pause to think kinda game! lol  Godrick was a fun fight, love the dragon's head weapon, just wish it was an option for his "soul".

    I am  70+ hours in and am still exploring.  I've leveled up some awesome weapons, including a very cool sword that's a tribute to the GoT throne.

    According to every gamer that I personally know, Elden Ring is "trash".

    Elden Ring received "universal acclaim"

    I very rarely travelled that way in Oblivion or Skyrim. Just walked around the countryside between towns, getting attacked occasionally by bandits, bears, giant cats or trolls, and opening up the fast travel option.  I haven’t looked at Elden Ring yet, so I’m assuming that’s what you mean.

    You can walk around if you want but its more fun to use the horse and the areas are bigger then Skyrim's.

    I'll be buying it, as will most of the dorks where I work from what it sounds like.  Looks pretty cool in the trailers.

    I've stayed away from most trailers and the demo play on Youtube, don't want any spoilers.  I just hope its at least half as cool as the other souls like games and that the horse isn't lame. (no pun intended!)
