Yep

It's an easy Plat. Just start looking for those Ravens early.
Had to go through every area again to get them.

Those Valkyries are tough as hell too. I think I only beat 2 of them.

And I heard one of the other realms has some annoying challenges.

A LOT OF PEOPLE bought ER off the hype having never played a Souls game before.

Got mad and stopped playing complaining it was too hard.

Interestingly enough, I have a handful of die hard Souls peers. One of who never played any game in the series prior to ER, called it frustratingly amazing and one of the most complete games he ever played. I'm actually tempted to play but I have too many games queued up currently.

Check out the unboxing

Spoiler: potential spoiler / Norse mythology

isn't Fenrir the son of Loki and the lil girl giant (Angroboa or something) we saw in the gameplay trailer in the real mythology?

Spoiler

Loki has about 3 or 4 kids with her lol. Midgard serpent, Fenrir, Hel queen of hell, and there's a horse type of creature I forgot the name. Fenrir will probably be a fight to calm him down then they become allies as he's the one in Norse mythology to kill Odin. They can always switch things around since Kratos and Atreus being there has altered norse fates.

Game of the year, calling it now

It'll be the real game of the year.

But I'm betting critics are going to nit pick the hell out of the game like they've been doing with most PS exclusives this gen.

Elden Ring will most likely take it at the Keighly's... it'll be too much controversy if God of War won over the new industry darling Miyazaki game.

Ragnarok will stop it from cleaning up the rest of the award season though. Ragnarok is gonna have clear strengths over it.

the real winners are nikkas that got to play both

If 2022 is like 2021, picks will have to be in by November 4, 2022. That's why Forza Horizon didn't win last year.

Naw, Forza Horizon didn’t win/get nominated because its a Forza game. No ones nominating car games for GOTY

It was nominated in best sports category. The only one that missed the deadline was Halo Infinite which makes it eligible this year.


It actually won three awards, best sports/racing, best audio, and best accessibility design

what the hell was that wolf?

what the hell was that wolf?

Fenrir or Fenrisúlfr, also referred to as Hróðvitnir and Vánagandr, or Vanargand, is a wolf in Norse mythology. Fenrir, together with Hel and the World Serpent, is a child of Loki and giantess Angrboða.

It was also in Thor Ragnarok fighting the Hulk.

You know hes tight cause he didn’t even bother to post the trailer with it.

TeamXbox has been quiet as a church mouse since the xbox showcase. I’ve been trying not to rub it in but they have been tempting me

 

[The Mad Titan]

I’ll take a Bam bet that this will be delayed

I wouldn't be super surprised if they pushed it back. Even if it was only by like a couple weeks

Gow is literally one of my all time favorite gaming IPs.



Sony stans

 

[Grand Conde]

Sony used to give November to call of duty but I’m guessing now that it’s owned by Microsoft, they’re now releasing their big games in the same month.

They are releasng the game when it is ready, they can't delay it anymore.

Yea, the Poison Realm and Fire Realm got some annoying challenges but not impossible.
That Valkyrie in the Poison realm was a pain in my ass.
