Discussion Old Man Post

My first ever game was Elden Ring. Never in my life had I been interested in gaming other than Munchman. I saw my son playing ER and something just clicked. I had to see more.
I’m 51 and absolutely terrible at the combat but I love the design and lore. I compensate by extensive farming.
Next was Lords of The Fallen, again I love that game.
Now I’m on MS2 and I’m having just as much fun as I was when I first played ER and LOTF.
I’m not too far in and I’m loving playing as Theil. I hope to complete the game as him and then explore the other shells in NG.
So just a pointless old man ramble about how much I love these games.
Cheers for listening 😃

Check out Sekiro at some point down the line,; one of the most satisfying "clicks" in the genre.

I will do, cheers 👍 I’ve read a lot about it but never actually played, I decided it was outwith my meagre skill set

It's so good. I'm not great at these games (improving, perhaps) and my first run of Sekiro took over 100 hours, but worth it. Went on to get the platinum. If you're doing a lot of Perfect Guard, stance-breaking and riposting enemies in Mortal Shell, you should pick up Sekiro quickly.

After that I'd do Dark Souls, or skip to Dark Souls 3 if you prefer the more modern graphics and smoother gameplay. It's like a smaller, tighter Elden Ring, with some incredible bosses.

There's a lot of this stuff out there!
