I'm not sure what they discussed in meeting rooms when they made that game but I feel it's really badly addicting. Never ever got that feeling from FS games. I played all the other souls games a lot but always consciously. This game gives me weird feeling like extreme dopamine rush for 45 minutes. I now opened the Lies of P DLC and it's like coming down from addiction.

Its a fun game that fully embraces the arcadey side of souls that was always present.
I enjoyed these games as murder simulators where i can just kill everything and feel like im power tripping and this game appeals to that.
I see a group of enemies when im running away from the storm and i just HAVE to kill them.
I see a scarab when following a squadmates marker to a fort and i just HAVE to kill it.
My team mate sees a bell bearing hunter/death rite bird/ draconic tree sentinel at level 8 and he HAS to attack it while i run away spamming pings until he stops and retreats.
Its a fun game.
Its exactly what i wanted after bloodbornes very addictive chalice dungeons.
You should try getting into armored core 6 ranked pvp too. That's the only from game pvp that i actually enjoy. Its poorly balanced but theres a lot of actual skill involved with movement positioning and en management.
Video games!

I bought this last night, died twice to the Margit tutorial fight, and felt so ashamed that I refunded. I have 531 hours in ER btw.

Should I re-buy it and try again?

you pretty much have to quit and never play again if you die to tutorial margit

You're probably meant to die to tutorial Margit, in matches you usually are a higher level with better gear, more heals and also two real teammates when you fight him
Beating him is doable, and they even let you retry the fight from the hub whenever you want to attempt it again and give you a unique item if you win, but it's not expected.

Beating him is technically an optional challenge, but he's also likely harder than whatever your experience against him was in ER I RL1'd Morgott a few times and still took two or three attempts here. It gets easier when you understand both what Nightreign mechanics and the tutorial-specific mechanics let you do.

Being forced into using the hundreds of weapons and spells you wouldn't normally use keeps things surprisingly fresh, despite the limited randomization otherwise. It's mostly just a flavor change, but as a STRfag it's just different enough with DEX weapons, or spells and incants beyond the usual tried and true, to stay interesting.

There are arguments to be made that past Fromsoft games have been good or bad, but this was the first time it felt like they were straight up resorting to slop

Revenant's the only character I've ever considered that on, and I still usually end up tossing +1 claws after finding some other blue or purple FTH weapon that both outdoes them and has a passive.

It's a decent tactic if you have a relic that gives your starter weapon the boss's weakness.

Actually I lied, I forgot how good having blood+frost(+poison) on a starting weapon was with Executor since I don't play him much. Also pretty good on Ironeye since bows with elements or status won't have passives anyway.
Usually I slot Hoarfrost Stomp or boss weakness and ditch it anyway midgame.

Is Seppuku worth using here? Executor has a stacking damage buff for each cast, but I can't tell if it's really worth the setup time or HP cost.

>Hard Adel's storm move was neat but otherwise the fight was pretty much the same
>Hard Fulgur was great, almost an entirely new moveset that makes the fight feel very different
>Hard Gnoster was terrible, basically just phase 1 again but longer and with more chances to take chip damage from the same projectile spam
Now I guess we wait and see if they have more hard modes done that just weren't in the files to get datamined or if they loop back to Adel and we have to wait like two months for anything new

I don't necessarily mind relic roulette, but FUCK could you PLEASE allow me to auto-sell any non purple dogshit immediately? Honestly it would be best if you could just select what to sell directly on the mission complete screen too.
That and some option to pay significantly more Murk for a guaranteed t3, getting one per superboss is just insulting.

I think the color system is pointless and exists to waste time. There should be a relic color conversion system where you use uhhh 20 everdark sigils or something to convert a relic.

So far, I've beat all three on the first time I fought them. I might have just been lucky and had a good team. Earlier today, I did the recent one and we all hit level 15 pretty early. Not to mention we had a good team spread. I was Ironeye with a starting fire bow. The other two were Raider and Wilder. Raider even found a Candlestand.

I spent around 10 hours playing it before stopping. It was at times fun, but it felt dirty seeing Fromsoft invoke the same tropes used seriously in their other games - the bonfire lady, the cryptic ramblings, grimdark fantasy setting - to justify the setting of a asset flip loot treadmill

Yeah honestly if you remove rememberances, roundtable, Elden Ring aesthetics, FromSoftware standard music, and boss aesthetics, what is left is not very pretty and would never get From core players as it does now.

It's a fine game, but I don't know what you're talking about. They literally just slammed every subgenre that's gained popularity while they've been making Souls games together. I don't think they put all that much thought into it.
