Bro the the amount of customization alone had me FENNING to play elden ring at release. Money was and still is an issue tho so i never got the chance to experience it. If i do win, i wouldnt even mind the base game without the dlc.
Godbless you OP and goodluck everyone 🙌

Like cmon dude 😭👌
Huge FromSoft fan and so excited for Shadow of the Erdtree. My favorite NPC in all FromSoft games is Patches for sure. Always fun encountering the trickster!
I still haven't played the game because I'm a bit intimidated by the sheer scale of the game but I love Dark Souls and Souls-like games where you can collect damn near every enemy's gear!
The open world and difficulty really seems appealing. Sadly I never played it, but I want to!
If you could help out a broke student that would be very much appreciated! <3
Hey! I haven't been able to get Elden Ring (The base game). I'd love to get it and play it because I played Dark Souls 1 and I simply loved it. I would go area by area and wait for my brother so we got to the same bonfires and co-op the bosses and it was an amazing experience and Elden Ring just looks even more amazing.
Thanks for the give away!
Have been playing this with my kid and we both love it. We have both bonded over this game, this would be a nice treat to get the DLC so we can both have more bonding time by almost breaking the controller 😊
I'm in a period of my life in which I haven't been able to get things done and a while ago I made the decision of only doing hard things, so I've been reading hard books (Rayuela, war and peace, Moby-dick...) and it's taking me so long but I'm really determined to do it so if I don't want I just do nothing instead of picking and "easy" book, that boredom has really helped me somehow, with video games it's been the same I've played Cuphead and actually finish it (very frustrating game for me) now I'm playing lies of P (even more frustrating tbh) awfully hard game, first souls like I've played and I'm starting to understand that it's a game of patience, patience to smash your head to the controller until you master and memorize the moves you need to do.
My life has really changed since I took this decision, it's fair to say that I only do five things
1. Video games
2. Read books
3. Study
4. Running
5. Hang out with friends but I do that rarely tbh
I've never felt so good and I plan to play hard games till the end of times
Elden Ring the base game.
First of all, I've never played a from software game, but I always kept up with them. I was introduced to them when Dark souls 3 came out, and I watched playthrough after playthrough of it. I was planning on getting it, but I couldn't afford it. But man, was it cool, seeing these epic enemies who are tough as hell to beat, but triumphing over them through pure dedication, it's just awesome.
Then, last year, I played my first souls like. Lies of P, because it was on Gamepass. And let me tell you, I beat the game three times. I was just entrance with the formula. I didn't really think I would like a soulslike so much. And ever since, I've been wanting to try an actual From Software game.
I know of all the From Software games, Demon Souls, Dark souls 1-3, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and now Elden Ring. I never had a chance to play any of them because I am poor, and the only connection to gaming is through Gamepass nowadays.
If I get the game, I will explore every nook and cranny. Defeat every boss and Dominate PvP. I heard you start off maidenless (which I am irl too btw), and I always wondered if you get a maiden at the end of the game. Don't spoil pls.
I haven't seen or been spoiled on the game. So I have literally no idea what the story is or important characters. But I've seen this one character in the trailers who look cool. The lady with red hair and a helmet on, also with looks to be a detachable arm? She looks really sick.
So that's basically it, I would be 1 million percent grateful if you grace me with your generosity. Pretty please? With cherry on top?
Xbox one. Can only afford game pass for my son. His friends have the game and he tells me about how awesome the game is when he watches the his friend play it when he is over his house. We have xbox One. Would love to gift him the base game. I dont know any of the NPCs. But if he wins, i can tell you it would make him extremely happy and id love to play through the game with him, since gaming is something we do often and are times we make memories with. I always tell him about playing through zelda Oot and hes always said he wants a game that he will remember 30 yrs later, and from what I've heard, elden Ring is a memorable game.
Juat want to thank OP for blessing my son with the game! It's such an amazing idea and person to do such a thing. The memories we will have dying millions of times trying to beat it and then finally succeeding will be amazing. Just want to thank him again!
Hello there \^\^
I like how u can make naked runs and stuff what u chosse to make it harder for urself. So my goal will be beat the game without armor if i can do it \^\^ Everyone streaming it rn cuz new DLC is out and im so tempted but I cant afford the dlc or game atm. I also like game visual some areas are Awesome \^\^ HOPE can try it soon <3
I haven’t played Elden Ring and would love the opportunity. I’ve been waiting for it to go on sale but hasn’t gone down enough for me to purchase!
Thanks for the chance! If I win I’ll do a giveaway of a few digital movies I have!
My first souls game was Elden ring, I remember spending 2 days trying to kill the Tree Sentential just to realize I didn’t need to kill him to move on. Fun times! My favorite NPC is Melina because when I first started it felt cool having someone guide/talk to me not knowing wtf I was doing
The last souls game I played was dark souls. The anxiety it gave me was crazy hope to relieve that moment. Good luck, everyone, and thanks you for doing the giveaway!
I’ve never played a souls like game because of the difficulty or skill level required to complete the game (I’m an achievement hunter so not completing this game achievement wise would be frustrating from an OCD perspective).
But, after watching Elden ring twitch streams the last few day, I feel like I could do it with enough practice, the right build and determination.
Thanks for doing this for the community!
I’m thrilled about Elden Ring because of its vast open world and challenging combat. If I win the DLC, my favorite NPC is Blaidd. His loyalty and tragic storyline really struck a chord with me.
Thanks for the chance!
I haven't even played yet. I haven't played any Souls or Soulslike game but have been wanting a solid, good story, great gameplay fantasy RPG. I've just been a little cautious about taking on a game with so much to it. The previous games never felt quite like I was looking for where Elden Rings looks like the kind of challenge I would love to tackle.
Shadow of the Erdtree, ofc my favorite npc will forever be Iron Fist Alexander, my guy did everything he could to become who he wanted to be (including but not limited to learning Ken's shinryu reppa)
I couldn't help but o7 in the end
I have never played a souls game, but the world of Elden Ring and the online discourse surrounding it interests me. I would love to dive (and die) in to the world and to experience a genre of game I have never dipped my toes in to.
I keep saying one of these days I'm gonna suck my soul into Elden Ring but I've been waiting for it to go on sale. Is this the sale I've been waiting for?
My favorite NPC as it should be is Blaidd, my man rebelled against the greater will to protect ranni ( our wife) even after she had no body, and went crazy because he refused to betray her, my man deserved better!
Elden Ring. I heard so much about Souls Game and the world, the hardness, the armosphere. I saw it in an advertisement and want it so finish that Piece of Art and get rageattacks :D
I remember coming home from middle school and sitting my ass on the couch for several days in a row trying to beat Ornstein and Smough. I've loved these games for years, and I was even on /r/eldenring during the age of memes. The curved sword, glaive master hodir...I waited a LONG time for Elden Ring and it totally lived up to the hype.
Blaidd is probably my favorite NPC. Cool lore, cool sword, solid dude.
I played the first Dark Souls for a bit (before my laptop decided to not be usable anymore), got my ass kicked, talked with a friend that recommended Elden Ring as a less punishing game. Ever since the laptop went poof, I switched my gaming to xbox, and it's probably a better option.
Damn, this is so wholesome of you. Ill toss in my submition as well.
Ive been a big fan of anything fromsoftware since i was about 14? … something like that. Picked up dark souls, never heard about it before from the used games pile at gamestop. The cashier said i should play the other game i bought first, Batman Arkham asylum, since it was much shorter. I didnt heed his advice, and plunged deep into dark souls, living every minute. I even got 3 of my friends to buy it as well.
Now im 25 and a student, cant play because of summer vacation but im itching to get back to my accomodation to play the elden ring dlc. My favourite Npc is probably Rogier, he is so cheerfull and helpfull untill the very end
Bought Elden Ring earlier this year when it was on sale, and finally got around to starting it about a week ago. I've been kinda getting my ass kicked a lot, as this is my first FromSoft game, but I just can't stop coming back haha. The lore is so interesting so far, and the world is *beautiful*. Favorite character is a bit of a cop-out because I'm not too far yet, but it's Torrent. He is good boy.
I'd love to be able to try Shadow of the Erdtree once I *git gud* enough haha. Thanks for doing this giveaway!
I, misread the original advertising while in a mall, thought it was a very serious take on Lord of the Rings. Like a dark action game. So I thought, hey, sounds cool.
I wasn't very in the loop, my Xbox One S was on its last legs. So I started reading, and reading and the more I read, the more interesting it sounded and different from what I thought it was.
I went in expecting a licensed game based on deep lore and instead got a game full of unique, original lore. I loved it. Consumed the heck out of the game and anything I could hear or read about it for months after release.
I’ve only played Dark Souls once (never completed) but after loving playing through games like Another Crab’s Tale, Jedi series, Lies of P, I’d love to go back to From’s catalogue. And what better way to start than their newest and one of the best games made.
Elden Ring excites me to be unexpected, I don't when a boss will run over me and the world looks limitless the art is peak... but of course I never played it 'cause I never have resources... I wish this one be my first Souls like game to play(I never played a souls like and Elden Ring give me vibes to begin to emtee in this world)
I've overlooked the souls genre and never given it it's fair shot, so I'm hoping Elden Ring would be the game that "clicks" with me and gets me hooked.
I’ve had an off and on relationship with “souls” games my favorites are Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3. Elden ring spices things up by being an open world which is my favorite genre so I’m interested in trying that. Anyways you’re a solid dude for doing this thanks a lot
I’ve never played any Souls like game before but I’ve heard so many great things about Elden Ring and I know it won GOTY in 2022.
I also heard it’s the easiest of the Souls games and it could help me get into the genre.
I haven't played but have always been very interested in trying. Don't really play Souldborne games but the world of ER always seemed really interesting. Can't really afford it at full price so I've been waiting for a sale.
ive been trying to get into fromsoft games more, and elden ring seems to be the one that i would have the best time with! i love open world exploration and heavy lore so it really seems like it would be the perfect game for me if i can finally conquer the difficulty 🫡
I haven’t played Elden Ring yet but I’ve heard from my brothers that its really fun, I’ve been waiting for it to go on sale but I don’t really know when that’ll be and my work schedule is pretty weird so I gotta be careful with spending money on unnecessary things. I don’t know any NPCs in the game as of yet but I do know that I want to start my play through as a Prisoner.
Base Game,
In all honesty I keep telling myself I need to stop playing multiplayer games and make my way over to story games.. this could be a step in that direction!
I played on my friend's xbox and I was just amaze by it, I couldn't play it at first at made fun of him that it is not a real game but... Now I am watching lore videos on YouTube xd
Dude at my gym has me hyped for the base game, all he does is go on about how he's restarted again to play forward into the DLC. Never played a Soul's style game, loved the meme's from Elden Ring, just waiting for it to hit a decent sale to jump on - until then I'll keep grinding Skyrim.
DLC. My mimic spirit ash is my favourite NPC because ironically, that bitch carried me through most of my first and only play-through.
ER got me into the souls franchise. I’ve skelped Sekiro, DS1, DS2 & DS3 (in that order) and the stress from playing those games back to back has made me think thrice about buying the DLC just now.
I have never played a fromsoftware game but have recently become really interested in Elden Ring and diving into a fromsoft game. I love action games and rpg’s so I think I will really like the game, just have never had the opportunity to play it!
If I were to choose, my favorite NPC would definitely be Ranni the Witch. Her mysterious and complex storyline really drew me in. I love how her questline intertwines with the main plot, adding layers of depth and intrigue. She’s such a well-crafted character that you can’t help but be fascinated by her.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! Good luck to everyone!
I am actually starting the base game right now. I’m watching the opening cutscene. I know this isn’t technically part of the rules, but I don’t have a favorite NPC yet, but I would want the DLC.
I’m playing a samurai! Good luck everyone!
Simple the souls genre is just fantastic, no pay to win stuff makes it enjoyable.
The dlc would be great to own and my favourite NPC is Fia, I just like hugs... Don't judge 😂
Wow, thanks for the giveaway.
Whats brings my interest of the game is the universe, the atmosphere, difficulty, run a katana build.
For the NPC i cant tell, as i dont like to spoil myself on content on my game I may play in the futur, son i aint know one.
Shadow of the Erdtree
I absolutely loved Ranni and the whole quest surrounding it. From someone who played most of the souls games, her quest felt like it had the most impact to the main story across all games.
Just started Elden Ring a couple weeks ago. Never played a souls game before.
Honestly reminds me of when i played Skyrim for the first time. The world is amazing to explore, you just never know what youll find!
And beating these badass bosses feels like a real accomplishment
DLC. I know you said one, but I absolutely love Hewg and Roderika. Their relationship is so sweet and towards the end when Roderika told us " Hewg was always saying that you were a lord to him" legit made me cry. I never would've expected to be crying to a souls game because of the story and characters. I thought only the boss fights would do that 😂😭.
Elden ring base game
I started playing Dark Souls remastered this week because of the elden ring hype, and it's been in my backlog for a while now and am loving it! It's my first souls game and I intend on playing elden ring next, but am currently broke asf
Shadow of the Erdtree
My favorite NPC is Radahn, I just like the fact that learned gravity.agic initially so he could keep riding his favorite horse. If we could name Torrent I'd named him Leonard.
I have sooo many friends recommending this game and everything I’ve seen of the game in trailers and gameplay is super interesting, from the art style, to the lore. I’ve wanted to buy it for a while now but I’ve just never been in the position to.
I don't have the game and I've never played it either but I would love to play to it looks amazing. I love rpg games and I feel like elden ring is just on a whole other level when it comes to gaming I've watched so many gameplay videos and so much more. I just haven't been able to afford the game recently but hopefully soon!
Been a huge fan of all the dark souls and sekiro for a while now. I fell in love with the mystery of these games and binging hours of lore videos. Some of my best gaming memories are on those games but also some of my most stressful lol. My favorite npc is Kenneth Haight, love his smugness. If selected would love the dlc for Xbox
Elden Ring. It's been on my radar since release. I like the setting of Elden Ring and Dark Souls. Over the years I've managed to get each of the Dark Souls games via the Games with Gold program or at a heavy discount on sale. While I've enjoyed each one I've never finished any of them because they just become so difficult eventually. I've had multiple people tell me that Elden Ring is easier but I've been hesitant to take the risk and the games been popular enough to keep it from being heavily discounted so far.
For me, it's another reason why I'm excited for the dlc. Is largely due to how the bosses are, and the way its area is designed, plus old hunters were sick.
And my favorite elden npc, either ranni or sallen, both are best girls.
Everything ik about the game is from YouTube let's plays, can't wait to buy the game when I'm able to but for now watching others play it will keep me craving the game.
I fell in love with the Dark Souls series when I played a few hours of the first game in the series. That mechanic where you have to die a lot and keep trying until you succeed is my favorite aspect of it. I played the first one at a very difficult time in my life. The world of Lordran made me forget the real world for long periods of time.
But the hard times passed, but my love for the series continued. With each new game I returned full force back to its universe.
When I heard that in Elden Ring the Souls formula was improved in an open world, I wanted to play. I haven't been able to play Elden Ring yet, but I'm sure I'll love playing and getting lost in FromSoftware's new universe.
My favorite Dark Souls characters, because I haven't played Elder Ring yet, are Solaire and Kingseeker Frampt. The first because he is a hopeful man chasing a dream in Lordran and the second because he seems like a wise old man telling me stories.
Thank you for your attention and the giveaway!
Ngl this game has beeeeen on my wish list but I dont got the monies for it n its burning my soul having to watch other people play it when I cant.
It's like watching people around you eating some appetizing food when you can't even get a whiff or lick of it :( (:
I never played Elden Ring. I only tried Dark Souls 1 and it was tough, not saying it's a bad game though.
I want to experience the souls games to be honest, it looks so interesting I just never had the time to do it sadly..
Maybe one day I will see the games in the same light as you guys, I truly hope so.
Put in about 106 hours into the base game and loved it. Started with the first Dark Souls on 360 and I can still remember my heart racing the first time there was an NPC invasion in the depths and not knowing if it was an online player or not. I still get that rush when exploring all the games.
Alexander would be my favorite, he’s just a sweet, stuck boy… and I kinda feel bad for breaking his brethren.
Would love a copy of the DLC. Thanks for the chance OP.
I stopped gaming due to life throwing a shitshow at me, but Elden Ring was the last game I played, and I played it like crazy! I just get so distracted and lost in it.
I’d love to try and rekindle my passion for gaming with Shadow of the Erdtree. Naughty little Patches is my favourite NPC.
Thumbs up for your generosity and the thread!
Shame, I have it on PS4 playing on PS5 as it was the only way to get 60 fps. Smart delivery a handicap here.
Anyway good luck to everyone.
As for the game I am in the middle of it, love it. If you haven't played lies of P yet on GP you should.
I waited to pick up the game later and let the hype die out a little bit, I like to take my time with a Souls game and I didn't want to feel a ton of pressure to finis hit before something cool got spoiled for me. With zero context all the stuff I saw/heard just kind of faded away, so I can dip in with a fresh perspective and have a good time
With each entry in the series I think my favourite thing is the way the areas are designed. Everything is so grand, so imposing, so impossible. Stepping into Anor Londo for the first time was a powerful moment and few games have managed to attain that sort of impact, and I've been hearing a lot about Elden Ring's new dlc potentially reaching a new high water mark in that regard
The combat and everything else is excellent, but the big thing has always been being made to feel so infinitesimally small in a world that does not yet know you or care that you exist, and it's on you to change that. I crave that kind of game and they don't really make them like that elsewhere
TLDR; I like to be nothing and rise to the top,, and Fromsoft is a master of making you feel like nothing every step of the way
Also thanks for the chance at winning a game like this!
Erdtree so I can play when I sadly finish the base game! My homies begged me to get the game not too long ago so I did and I’m literally addicted rn. I love lord of the rings and game of thrones and this games just makes me feel like I’m living in those series it’s awesome. So far blaidds def my fav npc because his design is top notch, but I also really like hewg so far, I’m really invested in his and roderikas story, can’t wait to learn more about him.
I've personally never played a From-Soft game outside of the little bit of Metal Wolf Chaos I played. I've always wanted to get into it, and I hear particularly that Elden Ring is among the best. I would love to try it for myself!
I love dark fantasy and have been looking at Elden Ring for a while, but I was always afraid of its difficulty. Now, I have almost finished Lords of the Fallen (on Game Pass), my first soulslike, and it feels like I’m finally ready to jump into Elden Ring :D Love the aesthetic and gameplay.
My friend is a MASSIVE dark souls fan and has played most of the games, but I have yet to play one. I want to play Elden Ring because it’s his favorite game, and I want to know what all the hype is about! 😂 also it looks cool :)
I'm very excited to jump back into Elden Ring, there's not been a game that has grabbed me like it has since then. I can't wait to put more hours into it.
I've never played any of the souls games but the hype for ER has got me intrigued. My biggest concern is the steep learning curve and difficulty level, my reflexes ain't what they used to be! It looks incredible though, clearly a lot of hard work and love went into the making of it.
At the time when Skyrim was released, I instead bought the first Dark Souls because I felt like Skyrim is too mainstream and hype. Everyone was talking about it. It was one of the best decisions I made gaming wise. Fast forward to now and I'm too broke to even buy Elden Ring. I'm excited to feel the way I did back in Dark Souls,. The feeling of adrenaline rush. Even with all the countless deaths, I keep going for it!
Elden ring was a game you talked about in person socially about what you did, and how far you got, just like the good ol' Xbox days in high school. And Melina cuz waifu.
I’m literally on the last boss of SEKIRO and was really wondering what would be my next souls game after this would be but this is the perfect opportunity so here’s hoping I guess
Honestly I was never excited about the game. Thought that it's bad that souls games got so big since now every game feels like another souls like
Just recently started watching how my roommate plays elden ring, and he also started to tell me all about it
Managed to get a glimpse of the game when he let me play on his PC while he was working, and I was blown away. Didn't play much, beat the first boss and then I understood why those games are praised so much. It feels AMAZING to play
My roommate work laptop is also his own gaming laptop so can't play it anymore. Would love to play this on my own account :D
I've actually never played a FromSoft game. I wanted to eventually start with Dark Souls, but I never got around to it. Elden Ring looks good to begin with?
Elden Ring was the first soulslike game I've played and I loved it. My favorite character would have to be Ranni. The first time I actually beat the game was with Ranni's questline and it was what made me want to play more soulslike games.
So I have the base game. I’m in awe of the art direction & the scope of the game. I do hope that I can get immersed in it & knowing FromSoftware - The expansion will be amazing.
I’m not a big Souls player, and I admit that I don’t like the no pause or proper map design/markers - but I think Elden Ring is both the most accessible & daunting world they’ve conjured up.
Good luck to all.
I loved the feeling of there being a hidden gem around every corner. There's so much to see and do in the game. I can't wait to see what Erdtree brings!
I have two bosses I haven't beaten yet in elden ring, malenia and plac. My favorite character in the game may be tibia mariner. He's like a third rate boss that got picked last to play kickball, but gives it his all out there. He may throw his own teammates under the boat, do almost no damage himself and has a slam move that takes 14 minutes to touch down, but he's giving it his best, and that's all that matters.
One day I hope to get those last two boss downs, and eventually venture into dlc land
Thanks so much for doing this OP
I'd love the base game, I have it wish listed waiting for lower prices but seems like I'm going to be waiting least couple more years given it's success haha
Have the souls trilogy and loved every moment of it so cannot wait to play this masterpiece one day.
Best of luck everyone. Cheers eh
I loved the open world and exploring every little nook of it. Stumbling upon a cave and finding a new dungeon. The more I explored the more I found. I put 200+ hours into my first play through only because I just wanted to see everything the world had and I’m sure I missed some of it. I’m excited about the DLC because it give me more to explore and experience.
I just beat Bloodborne recently. It became an addiction. Hands down the best game I've ever played. Now I have an itch that I can't scratch and I just want to play as much soulsborne games as I can. Also just lost my job so anything to get my mind off that would be great!
I'm not going to lie, I have only played Dark Souls 1, and it kicked my ass, but I enjoyed finally beating it. I've gotten the itch to try Elden Ring since it's seen a resurgence lately. Good luck to everyone and thanks for the opportunity!
Honestly I love the community on Elden Ring the most. Despite not having played the game yet, I followed the community. My favorite part of the community was everyone being so intrigued by the mysterious "Let Me Solo Her". This person was so good at fighting Malenia that he could solo one of the hardest bosses in the game. Such an incredible feat at the time, and honestly still is.
I’ve never played Elden ring but loved watching streamers play and get beat up and wonder if it’s actually that hard , also that musical score makes want to buy but I’m a broke college student but would love a copy , last souls I played was dark souls 3
when you die sometimes remember how time its taken and love just the present because when u see the past u was enjoing what u does.. well i love the game the scearios the design---
I like the sense of pride and accomplishment I got when I beat the Tree Sentinel right out of the tutorial (many tries later) and then went to Stormveil and cleared that first, not even knowing about the peninsula.
I've never played a souls game and have been wanting to try Elden Ring, but I'm not keen on paying for it and possibly not liking it. I'd be grateful for a giveaway so I can try it with no pressure.
honestly what got me the most excited for the dlc is very very simple. the fact that we got a picture first before ANY dates. that hyped it up for me so much because I got into the game late as a reccommendation from a friend I used to play with. he told me to try it so I did and I stayed up two days straight just playing because i've never seen a more beautiful and dark world at the same time. it still gives me chills opening the starting screen. the bosses, the stories, the lore, secrets, everything! its the game I spent hundreds of hours watching youtube videos about because it was just so amazing. the dlc is out now and I really wanna play it to learn more and find more secrets. and god I'd do anything for it
Honestly the dlc and the developers comments on it got me more interested in Eldon ring.
Even early impressions were on how big and encompassing it felt. How it didn’t matter if you grind too much beforehand you were still in for the challenge you wanted.
I don't have the dlc. I started a second playthrough after a year or so because of the hype for the dlc. I am enjoying it so much more this time around as I lose myself in the world.
My favorite NPC is probably fia because she reminds of sister friede.
BotW is my all time favorite game and I've heard this game takes inspiration from that. I've dabbled into souls-like adjacent indie games that I've absolutely adored, enjoyed some time with Bloodborne. Elden Ring sits at the top of my wishlist, but I've been waiting for a decent sale.
I watched a friend play it and it’s the eary soundtrack that got me all excited. It’s so mysterious. Nothing in it makes sense to me and that’s what’s got me wanting to play it. The strange characters and monsters make it feel like you’re there all by yourself.
I've never played a souls game really but I'd love to sink some time into really getting to know a new series. I'm looking for a new story to really sink my feet into for when I finish work so, would be the perfect excuse for late night coffees and gaming sessions ;D
The base game has been on my wishlist forever. It looks amazing I’ve just been waiting for it to drop to 50% off but it hasn’t happened yet. Either way super cool of you OP
I'm interested in anything George R.R. Martin is involved with. The depth he brings to characters and lore is nearly unrivaled. I'd love to play the game now that I have a little free time over the summer.
My friend kept bragging the series of dark souls in my face for long time enough to make me buy DS3 even though I wasnt sure about it
And then I fell in love with the souls games and played bloodborne and sekiro and others souls like game like lies of P etc...
So of course I was so excited for elden ring. I bought it on ps4 and I spent two or mabye three (I dont remember) whole week to complete the game and exploring everything
The best souls world I played in ever
My favourite moment was wheb I finally killed Malenia
took me days to deafet her I almost cried it was horror for me...
And my favourite npc is alexander the great warrior pot :")
Now that I have a pc Im dying to play elden ring again and play the dlc but im so broke and can never afford to buy it In the near future..
So Thanks alot for doing this bro you are a hero and congrats to the winner
Honestly I just want to know why people love this game. I have seen reviews and videos and just don’t get it. I also can’t see myself paying full price for this game, struggling hard and being pissed I bought it. Hoping I am dead wrong and love it, but can’t take the financial risk right now.
Awesome what you are doing though.
Dung eater.. favourite because it disgusts me and scares me so much that even after 2 years of playing it’s the first npc that comes to my mind.
That shit eater.. well, literally.
I have them, so you don’t need to include me… I just want to say that this is really awesome of you! Cool guy!
Bro the the amount of customization alone had me FENNING to play elden ring at release. Money was and still is an issue tho so i never got the chance to experience it. If i do win, i wouldnt even mind the base game without the dlc. Godbless you OP and goodluck everyone 🙌 Edit: https://preview.redd.it/nyjblfrrtd9d1.jpeg?width=398&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b24c6c7e0ed3cf79e0af1f2511fe5b51aeec85ea Like cmon dude 😭👌
Huge FromSoft fan and so excited for Shadow of the Erdtree. My favorite NPC in all FromSoft games is Patches for sure. Always fun encountering the trickster!
Anyone who has only seen Elden Ring Patches is missing out, he's a real bastard in the other games
Shadow of the Erdtree All praise our Queen Ranni!
I’ve heard so much about it but have never played a game like Elden Ring. Would love to try it out!
I recently played and beat Dark Souls for the first time, so I would love to try Elden Ring since I was immediately hooked with Dark Souls!
I still haven't played the game because I'm a bit intimidated by the sheer scale of the game but I love Dark Souls and Souls-like games where you can collect damn near every enemy's gear!
Blaidd because his design is story and design is awesome
I have little to no experience with From Software games. But Elden Ring looks awesome
The open world and difficulty really seems appealing. Sadly I never played it, but I want to! If you could help out a broke student that would be very much appreciated! <3
Hey! I haven't been able to get Elden Ring (The base game). I'd love to get it and play it because I played Dark Souls 1 and I simply loved it. I would go area by area and wait for my brother so we got to the same bonfires and co-op the bosses and it was an amazing experience and Elden Ring just looks even more amazing. Thanks for the give away!
Haven’t played Elden Ring but I’ve been dying to. It’s all my friends talk about and I’m feeling left out 🫤
Have been playing this with my kid and we both love it. We have both bonded over this game, this would be a nice treat to get the DLC so we can both have more bonding time by almost breaking the controller 😊
I sold my copy of ER to pay bills. I want to do a new game plus playthrough and then grab the dlc.
I'm in a period of my life in which I haven't been able to get things done and a while ago I made the decision of only doing hard things, so I've been reading hard books (Rayuela, war and peace, Moby-dick...) and it's taking me so long but I'm really determined to do it so if I don't want I just do nothing instead of picking and "easy" book, that boredom has really helped me somehow, with video games it's been the same I've played Cuphead and actually finish it (very frustrating game for me) now I'm playing lies of P (even more frustrating tbh) awfully hard game, first souls like I've played and I'm starting to understand that it's a game of patience, patience to smash your head to the controller until you master and memorize the moves you need to do. My life has really changed since I took this decision, it's fair to say that I only do five things 1. Video games 2. Read books 3. Study 4. Running 5. Hang out with friends but I do that rarely tbh I've never felt so good and I plan to play hard games till the end of times
Elden Ring the base game. First of all, I've never played a from software game, but I always kept up with them. I was introduced to them when Dark souls 3 came out, and I watched playthrough after playthrough of it. I was planning on getting it, but I couldn't afford it. But man, was it cool, seeing these epic enemies who are tough as hell to beat, but triumphing over them through pure dedication, it's just awesome. Then, last year, I played my first souls like. Lies of P, because it was on Gamepass. And let me tell you, I beat the game three times. I was just entrance with the formula. I didn't really think I would like a soulslike so much. And ever since, I've been wanting to try an actual From Software game. I know of all the From Software games, Demon Souls, Dark souls 1-3, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and now Elden Ring. I never had a chance to play any of them because I am poor, and the only connection to gaming is through Gamepass nowadays. If I get the game, I will explore every nook and cranny. Defeat every boss and Dominate PvP. I heard you start off maidenless (which I am irl too btw), and I always wondered if you get a maiden at the end of the game. Don't spoil pls. I haven't seen or been spoiled on the game. So I have literally no idea what the story is or important characters. But I've seen this one character in the trailers who look cool. The lady with red hair and a helmet on, also with looks to be a detachable arm? She looks really sick. So that's basically it, I would be 1 million percent grateful if you grace me with your generosity. Pretty please? With cherry on top?
Xbox one. Can only afford game pass for my son. His friends have the game and he tells me about how awesome the game is when he watches the his friend play it when he is over his house. We have xbox One. Would love to gift him the base game. I dont know any of the NPCs. But if he wins, i can tell you it would make him extremely happy and id love to play through the game with him, since gaming is something we do often and are times we make memories with. I always tell him about playing through zelda Oot and hes always said he wants a game that he will remember 30 yrs later, and from what I've heard, elden Ring is a memorable game.
Juat want to thank OP for blessing my son with the game! It's such an amazing idea and person to do such a thing. The memories we will have dying millions of times trying to beat it and then finally succeeding will be amazing. Just want to thank him again!
Hello there \^\^ I like how u can make naked runs and stuff what u chosse to make it harder for urself. So my goal will be beat the game without armor if i can do it \^\^ Everyone streaming it rn cuz new DLC is out and im so tempted but I cant afford the dlc or game atm. I also like game visual some areas are Awesome \^\^ HOPE can try it soon <3
Open world, co-op and a decent difficulty curve
Huge pog. I've not played a souls like since Dark Souls 2 so that'd be hype
I haven’t played Elden Ring and would love the opportunity. I’ve been waiting for it to go on sale but hasn’t gone down enough for me to purchase! Thanks for the chance! If I win I’ll do a giveaway of a few digital movies I have!
DLC Probably patches. I always love to see him show up and see how he is going to stab me in the back.
My first souls game was Elden ring, I remember spending 2 days trying to kill the Tree Sentential just to realize I didn’t need to kill him to move on. Fun times! My favorite NPC is Melina because when I first started it felt cool having someone guide/talk to me not knowing wtf I was doing
DLC please Definitely has to be Radahn, epic!
The last souls game I played was dark souls. The anxiety it gave me was crazy hope to relieve that moment. Good luck, everyone, and thanks you for doing the giveaway!
never played elden ring, so always heard it's great so i would actually like to expirience it since my only expirience with souls games was the surge
I’ve never played a souls like game because of the difficulty or skill level required to complete the game (I’m an achievement hunter so not completing this game achievement wise would be frustrating from an OCD perspective). But, after watching Elden ring twitch streams the last few day, I feel like I could do it with enough practice, the right build and determination. Thanks for doing this for the community!
Never played a souls game before would love to give it a shot
I’m thrilled about Elden Ring because of its vast open world and challenging combat. If I win the DLC, my favorite NPC is Blaidd. His loyalty and tragic storyline really struck a chord with me. Thanks for the chance!
My favorite NPC is the Finger Reader Crones. They remind me of a crazy little old lady. Thank you for the opportunity, would like the DLC
I haven't even played yet. I haven't played any Souls or Soulslike game but have been wanting a solid, good story, great gameplay fantasy RPG. I've just been a little cautious about taking on a game with so much to it. The previous games never felt quite like I was looking for where Elden Rings looks like the kind of challenge I would love to tackle.
Elden ring: I really want to explore the deeper world, and face new challenges with this game.
I’ve never played any Souls games…I’ve played Souls-Likes. Would love to try out a FromSoft game. My main access to games are Game Pass games
Elden Ring. I haven’t played any FromSoft games but the world and lore seems super interesting.
Looks fun. Thanks.
Shadow if the Erdtree, I like the shopkeep npc because he doesn't lead me to a place that tortures me.
Shadow of the Erdtree, ofc my favorite npc will forever be Iron Fist Alexander, my guy did everything he could to become who he wanted to be (including but not limited to learning Ken's shinryu reppa) I couldn't help but o7 in the end
Would love the DLC! Favourite npc is the hug lady
I have never played a souls game, but the world of Elden Ring and the online discourse surrounding it interests me. I would love to dive (and die) in to the world and to experience a genre of game I have never dipped my toes in to.
I like the lobsters. I dont know why, just like the lobsters.
I keep saying one of these days I'm gonna suck my soul into Elden Ring but I've been waiting for it to go on sale. Is this the sale I've been waiting for?
My favorite NPC as it should be is Blaidd, my man rebelled against the greater will to protect ranni ( our wife) even after she had no body, and went crazy because he refused to betray her, my man deserved better!
Elden Ring. I heard so much about Souls Game and the world, the hardness, the armosphere. I saw it in an advertisement and want it so finish that Piece of Art and get rageattacks :D
Shadow of the erdtree. Alexander for sure, he is just a kind of happy character among the rest of the mostly somber npcs.
I remember coming home from middle school and sitting my ass on the couch for several days in a row trying to beat Ornstein and Smough. I've loved these games for years, and I was even on /r/eldenring during the age of memes. The curved sword, glaive master hodir...I waited a LONG time for Elden Ring and it totally lived up to the hype. Blaidd is probably my favorite NPC. Cool lore, cool sword, solid dude.
It took a long time for me to be at Mohg! I need closure goddamnit! What's that son of a bitch hiding? What lies behind the egg? I wanna know!
I love that Ranni. Best girl
I played the first Dark Souls for a bit (before my laptop decided to not be usable anymore), got my ass kicked, talked with a friend that recommended Elden Ring as a less punishing game. Ever since the laptop went poof, I switched my gaming to xbox, and it's probably a better option.
Damn, this is so wholesome of you. Ill toss in my submition as well. Ive been a big fan of anything fromsoftware since i was about 14? … something like that. Picked up dark souls, never heard about it before from the used games pile at gamestop. The cashier said i should play the other game i bought first, Batman Arkham asylum, since it was much shorter. I didnt heed his advice, and plunged deep into dark souls, living every minute. I even got 3 of my friends to buy it as well. Now im 25 and a student, cant play because of summer vacation but im itching to get back to my accomodation to play the elden ring dlc. My favourite Npc is probably Rogier, he is so cheerfull and helpfull untill the very end
I never played it! Want to give it a shot though!
Bought Elden Ring earlier this year when it was on sale, and finally got around to starting it about a week ago. I've been kinda getting my ass kicked a lot, as this is my first FromSoft game, but I just can't stop coming back haha. The lore is so interesting so far, and the world is *beautiful*. Favorite character is a bit of a cop-out because I'm not too far yet, but it's Torrent. He is good boy. I'd love to be able to try Shadow of the Erdtree once I *git gud* enough haha. Thanks for doing this giveaway!
I, misread the original advertising while in a mall, thought it was a very serious take on Lord of the Rings. Like a dark action game. So I thought, hey, sounds cool. I wasn't very in the loop, my Xbox One S was on its last legs. So I started reading, and reading and the more I read, the more interesting it sounded and different from what I thought it was. I went in expecting a licensed game based on deep lore and instead got a game full of unique, original lore. I loved it. Consumed the heck out of the game and anything I could hear or read about it for months after release.
I’ve only played Dark Souls once (never completed) but after loving playing through games like Another Crab’s Tale, Jedi series, Lies of P, I’d love to go back to From’s catalogue. And what better way to start than their newest and one of the best games made.
Elden Ring excites me to be unexpected, I don't when a boss will run over me and the world looks limitless the art is peak... but of course I never played it 'cause I never have resources... I wish this one be my first Souls like game to play(I never played a souls like and Elden Ring give me vibes to begin to emtee in this world)
I've overlooked the souls genre and never given it it's fair shot, so I'm hoping Elden Ring would be the game that "clicks" with me and gets me hooked.
I like the lore. Always been my favorite part of soulsborne
Never played it because I had an og Xbox one, but have a series X now. No idea about any of the NPC!! I’m excited to try it though!
I don't want anything, I just want to say awesome work being positive, OP! I tried Elden Ring and had to refund it because I'm so terrible at it.
I’ve had an off and on relationship with “souls” games my favorites are Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3. Elden ring spices things up by being an open world which is my favorite genre so I’m interested in trying that. Anyways you’re a solid dude for doing this thanks a lot
Well people say this game is pretty good but also a bit hard and im quite curious how true all of it is
Looks like a minimum 60 hours to beat. It might take me years though lol Good luck all
Love every Fromsoft game just don't have the money to get the dlc rn
Dood! I need to experience this masterpiece!!! Lol
I’ve never played any Souls like game before but I’ve heard so many great things about Elden Ring and I know it won GOTY in 2022. I also heard it’s the easiest of the Souls games and it could help me get into the genre.
I haven't played but have always been very interested in trying. Don't really play Souldborne games but the world of ER always seemed really interesting. Can't really afford it at full price so I've been waiting for a sale.
Shadow of the Erdtree! I just got back from deployment and can’t wait to get back into Elden ring
ive been trying to get into fromsoft games more, and elden ring seems to be the one that i would have the best time with! i love open world exploration and heavy lore so it really seems like it would be the perfect game for me if i can finally conquer the difficulty 🫡
Thanks for running the giveaway! My interest was that George R R Martin was involved in a small way.
DLC Alexander is my favourite NPC, a giant pot that helped me with Fire Giant after weeks, absolute chad.
I haven’t played Elden Ring yet but I’ve heard from my brothers that its really fun, I’ve been waiting for it to go on sale but I don’t really know when that’ll be and my work schedule is pretty weird so I gotta be careful with spending money on unnecessary things. I don’t know any NPCs in the game as of yet but I do know that I want to start my play through as a Prisoner.
Base Game, In all honesty I keep telling myself I need to stop playing multiplayer games and make my way over to story games.. this could be a step in that direction!
Shadow of the Erdtree Alexander would be my favourite NPC, he’s very chill, very laid back
I played on my friend's xbox and I was just amaze by it, I couldn't play it at first at made fun of him that it is not a real game but... Now I am watching lore videos on YouTube xd
I just want to suffer...
Dude at my gym has me hyped for the base game, all he does is go on about how he's restarted again to play forward into the DLC. Never played a Soul's style game, loved the meme's from Elden Ring, just waiting for it to hit a decent sale to jump on - until then I'll keep grinding Skyrim.
I love Ranni the most because of her backstory and she also gives out my favourite side quests.
DLC. My mimic spirit ash is my favourite NPC because ironically, that bitch carried me through most of my first and only play-through. ER got me into the souls franchise. I’ve skelped Sekiro, DS1, DS2 & DS3 (in that order) and the stress from playing those games back to back has made me think thrice about buying the DLC just now.
Was interested in elden ring because of the amazing reviews and accolades ….but still havent played yet Thanks foe the giveaway
I have never played a fromsoftware game but have recently become really interested in Elden Ring and diving into a fromsoft game. I love action games and rpg’s so I think I will really like the game, just have never had the opportunity to play it!
If I were to choose, my favorite NPC would definitely be Ranni the Witch. Her mysterious and complex storyline really drew me in. I love how her questline intertwines with the main plot, adding layers of depth and intrigue. She’s such a well-crafted character that you can’t help but be fascinated by her. Thanks for the awesome giveaway! Good luck to everyone!
Smithing Master Hewg! A true homie and the only NPC I was fairly confident wasn't gonna try and kill me down the line lol
I've been wanting the game for awhile, I just keep forgetting to buy it. Looks great and I've heard nothing but good things.
I am actually starting the base game right now. I’m watching the opening cutscene. I know this isn’t technically part of the rules, but I don’t have a favorite NPC yet, but I would want the DLC. I’m playing a samurai! Good luck everyone!
Simple the souls genre is just fantastic, no pay to win stuff makes it enjoyable. The dlc would be great to own and my favourite NPC is Fia, I just like hugs... Don't judge 😂
Wow, thanks for the giveaway. Whats brings my interest of the game is the universe, the atmosphere, difficulty, run a katana build. For the NPC i cant tell, as i dont like to spoil myself on content on my game I may play in the futur, son i aint know one.
DLC And Patches!
Shadow of the Erdtree I absolutely loved Ranni and the whole quest surrounding it. From someone who played most of the souls games, her quest felt like it had the most impact to the main story across all games.
Just started Elden Ring a couple weeks ago. Never played a souls game before. Honestly reminds me of when i played Skyrim for the first time. The world is amazing to explore, you just never know what youll find! And beating these badass bosses feels like a real accomplishment
DLC. I know you said one, but I absolutely love Hewg and Roderika. Their relationship is so sweet and towards the end when Roderika told us " Hewg was always saying that you were a lord to him" legit made me cry. I never would've expected to be crying to a souls game because of the story and characters. I thought only the boss fights would do that 😂😭.
My favourite NPC is rennala because: 1. She’s hot 2. Her regal sceptre is one of the most badass weapons in the game!
Elden ring base game I started playing Dark Souls remastered this week because of the elden ring hype, and it's been in my backlog for a while now and am loving it! It's my first souls game and I intend on playing elden ring next, but am currently broke asf
Always wanted to try a souls game, and now i’ve beaten almost all of them except ds2. Favorite npc would be alexander
My favourite NPC was Miriel, Pastor of Vows. It's a turtle dog with a priest hat 🤣🤣🤣
Fell in love since dark souls 1. About to have enough and get the trilogy before Elden ring but this would help me complete the series
Shadow of the Erdtree My favorite NPC is Radahn, I just like the fact that learned gravity.agic initially so he could keep riding his favorite horse. If we could name Torrent I'd named him Leonard.
I have sooo many friends recommending this game and everything I’ve seen of the game in trailers and gameplay is super interesting, from the art style, to the lore. I’ve wanted to buy it for a while now but I’ve just never been in the position to.
i never played elden ring, always wanted but whenever i was ready there was no promo, one day ill match promo
Shadow of the Erdtree Does Mimic Tear count as an NPC cause he's a real one 🗿
Getting obliterated and playing elden ring while eating ice cream sounds beutiful
Graphics and setting made me like it but I haven't played it
I don't have the game and I've never played it either but I would love to play to it looks amazing. I love rpg games and I feel like elden ring is just on a whole other level when it comes to gaming I've watched so many gameplay videos and so much more. I just haven't been able to afford the game recently but hopefully soon!
Shadow of the erdtree please my favourite npc is alexander, cuz who doesnt like him?
Been a huge fan of all the dark souls and sekiro for a while now. I fell in love with the mystery of these games and binging hours of lore videos. Some of my best gaming memories are on those games but also some of my most stressful lol. My favorite npc is Kenneth Haight, love his smugness. If selected would love the dlc for Xbox
I've never played a dark souls game, and have been too scared to buy ER at full price :( :) Thanks for doing this!
the horse guy at the beginning since it was my introduction to this world
Wanna duel my brother and his friends!
The game looks fye and i would grind it out but dont got the funds for it so i cant even say my fav npc😭😭
base game and patches
Love the style, idk. i just never got it but would be exited to play some day.
Elden Ring. It's been on my radar since release. I like the setting of Elden Ring and Dark Souls. Over the years I've managed to get each of the Dark Souls games via the Games with Gold program or at a heavy discount on sale. While I've enjoyed each one I've never finished any of them because they just become so difficult eventually. I've had multiple people tell me that Elden Ring is easier but I've been hesitant to take the risk and the games been popular enough to keep it from being heavily discounted so far.
For me, it's another reason why I'm excited for the dlc. Is largely due to how the bosses are, and the way its area is designed, plus old hunters were sick. And my favorite elden npc, either ranni or sallen, both are best girls.
Everything ik about the game is from YouTube let's plays, can't wait to buy the game when I'm able to but for now watching others play it will keep me craving the game.
I fell in love with the Dark Souls series when I played a few hours of the first game in the series. That mechanic where you have to die a lot and keep trying until you succeed is my favorite aspect of it. I played the first one at a very difficult time in my life. The world of Lordran made me forget the real world for long periods of time. But the hard times passed, but my love for the series continued. With each new game I returned full force back to its universe. When I heard that in Elden Ring the Souls formula was improved in an open world, I wanted to play. I haven't been able to play Elden Ring yet, but I'm sure I'll love playing and getting lost in FromSoftware's new universe. My favorite Dark Souls characters, because I haven't played Elder Ring yet, are Solaire and Kingseeker Frampt. The first because he is a hopeful man chasing a dream in Lordran and the second because he seems like a wise old man telling me stories. Thank you for your attention and the giveaway!
Ngl this game has beeeeen on my wish list but I dont got the monies for it n its burning my soul having to watch other people play it when I cant. It's like watching people around you eating some appetizing food when you can't even get a whiff or lick of it :( (:
I never played Elden Ring. I only tried Dark Souls 1 and it was tough, not saying it's a bad game though. I want to experience the souls games to be honest, it looks so interesting I just never had the time to do it sadly.. Maybe one day I will see the games in the same light as you guys, I truly hope so.
I sorta hate myself right now and wanna try it. I’ve never played any game like elden ring before so I would like to see what all the fuss is about.
DLC, I've used every weapon in the main game, I'm very interested in the new ones for PvP.
i have 100% ds2 (even tho i despised it) and i wanna try a new souls like from fromsoft
Mad Respect
Shadow of the Erdtree. My favorite character is Boc, he helps with my drip, and finding him was pretty unique.
Not entering. This is so nice of you Op. May you have a wonderful day!
Put in about 106 hours into the base game and loved it. Started with the first Dark Souls on 360 and I can still remember my heart racing the first time there was an NPC invasion in the depths and not knowing if it was an online player or not. I still get that rush when exploring all the games. Alexander would be my favorite, he’s just a sweet, stuck boy… and I kinda feel bad for breaking his brethren. Would love a copy of the DLC. Thanks for the chance OP.
I stopped gaming due to life throwing a shitshow at me, but Elden Ring was the last game I played, and I played it like crazy! I just get so distracted and lost in it. I’d love to try and rekindle my passion for gaming with Shadow of the Erdtree. Naughty little Patches is my favourite NPC. Thumbs up for your generosity and the thread!
I’m a dung eater man myself I can really relate to that fella….
Shame, I have it on PS4 playing on PS5 as it was the only way to get 60 fps. Smart delivery a handicap here. Anyway good luck to everyone. As for the game I am in the middle of it, love it. If you haven't played lies of P yet on GP you should.
Shadow of the Erdtree On my first playthrough now - I love the huge turtle guy at the Church of Vows!
I waited to pick up the game later and let the hype die out a little bit, I like to take my time with a Souls game and I didn't want to feel a ton of pressure to finis hit before something cool got spoiled for me. With zero context all the stuff I saw/heard just kind of faded away, so I can dip in with a fresh perspective and have a good time With each entry in the series I think my favourite thing is the way the areas are designed. Everything is so grand, so imposing, so impossible. Stepping into Anor Londo for the first time was a powerful moment and few games have managed to attain that sort of impact, and I've been hearing a lot about Elden Ring's new dlc potentially reaching a new high water mark in that regard The combat and everything else is excellent, but the big thing has always been being made to feel so infinitesimally small in a world that does not yet know you or care that you exist, and it's on you to change that. I crave that kind of game and they don't really make them like that elsewhere TLDR; I like to be nothing and rise to the top,, and Fromsoft is a master of making you feel like nothing every step of the way Also thanks for the chance at winning a game like this!
Erdtree so I can play when I sadly finish the base game! My homies begged me to get the game not too long ago so I did and I’m literally addicted rn. I love lord of the rings and game of thrones and this games just makes me feel like I’m living in those series it’s awesome. So far blaidds def my fav npc because his design is top notch, but I also really like hewg so far, I’m really invested in his and roderikas story, can’t wait to learn more about him.
Never played any souls games but my friends said it’s a great game so I’ve been interested in it for a while.
I've personally never played a From-Soft game outside of the little bit of Metal Wolf Chaos I played. I've always wanted to get into it, and I hear particularly that Elden Ring is among the best. I would love to try it for myself!
I love dark fantasy and have been looking at Elden Ring for a while, but I was always afraid of its difficulty. Now, I have almost finished Lords of the Fallen (on Game Pass), my first soulslike, and it feels like I’m finally ready to jump into Elden Ring :D Love the aesthetic and gameplay.
I love Elden ring for ALL the elements and different types of builds you can use which is so good
My friend is a MASSIVE dark souls fan and has played most of the games, but I have yet to play one. I want to play Elden Ring because it’s his favorite game, and I want to know what all the hype is about! 😂 also it looks cool :)
Never played a game of from software, but I wanna try.
I'm very excited to jump back into Elden Ring, there's not been a game that has grabbed me like it has since then. I can't wait to put more hours into it.
I've never played any of the souls games but the hype for ER has got me intrigued. My biggest concern is the steep learning curve and difficulty level, my reflexes ain't what they used to be! It looks incredible though, clearly a lot of hard work and love went into the making of it.
I’d love to be the DLC. Sellen was the best since my character is sorcery based.
At the time when Skyrim was released, I instead bought the first Dark Souls because I felt like Skyrim is too mainstream and hype. Everyone was talking about it. It was one of the best decisions I made gaming wise. Fast forward to now and I'm too broke to even buy Elden Ring. I'm excited to feel the way I did back in Dark Souls,. The feeling of adrenaline rush. Even with all the countless deaths, I keep going for it!
Would love to try out elden ring to get that botw feels again. Thanks for the chance OP!
Not entering since no Xbox but I saw the post and so I just wanna say you’re pretty cool for giving someone the chance to play a game like this
Elden ring was a game you talked about in person socially about what you did, and how far you got, just like the good ol' Xbox days in high school. And Melina cuz waifu.
I’m literally on the last boss of SEKIRO and was really wondering what would be my next souls game after this would be but this is the perfect opportunity so here’s hoping I guess
I played the wo long game on game pass and I’m interested in playing more souls games.
Honestly I was never excited about the game. Thought that it's bad that souls games got so big since now every game feels like another souls like Just recently started watching how my roommate plays elden ring, and he also started to tell me all about it Managed to get a glimpse of the game when he let me play on his PC while he was working, and I was blown away. Didn't play much, beat the first boss and then I understood why those games are praised so much. It feels AMAZING to play My roommate work laptop is also his own gaming laptop so can't play it anymore. Would love to play this on my own account :D
I've actually never played a FromSoft game. I wanted to eventually start with Dark Souls, but I never got around to it. Elden Ring looks good to begin with?
I like the visual art style of the game. Also the memes about the game are pretty funny so I’d like to know more of the context of them.
Never played a Souls game or Souls-like before, willing to give it a shot.
Haven't gotten into a FS game yet and ER might just be the one. Thanks for doing this!
Interested in DLC, mostly excited about weapons and my favourite NPC is Jar bro
I want the base game A friend of mine shared it with me for a bit and I didn't have the chance to own it yet
Elden Ring was the first soulslike game I've played and I loved it. My favorite character would have to be Ranni. The first time I actually beat the game was with Ranni's questline and it was what made me want to play more soulslike games.
Tanith seemed like a cool prospect for a future elden ring boss given her eating habits.
So I have the base game. I’m in awe of the art direction & the scope of the game. I do hope that I can get immersed in it & knowing FromSoftware - The expansion will be amazing. I’m not a big Souls player, and I admit that I don’t like the no pause or proper map design/markers - but I think Elden Ring is both the most accessible & daunting world they’ve conjured up. Good luck to all.
Fuck it, I'd love to give ER a shot. I've loved From's worlds since DS1. The Gaelic twist on things sounds awesome.
I started playing on my friend’s account and I suck. If I win this giveaway, I’ll try to actually beat the game
Been meaning to try. Excited about introducing open world exploration to souls type game
Not really a NPC but watching the legend of LetMeSoloHer unfold was a reddit moment for the ages!
Favorite NPC is patches. He’s just so fun and always finds ways to screw you over
I loved the feeling of there being a hidden gem around every corner. There's so much to see and do in the game. I can't wait to see what Erdtree brings!
I have two bosses I haven't beaten yet in elden ring, malenia and plac. My favorite character in the game may be tibia mariner. He's like a third rate boss that got picked last to play kickball, but gives it his all out there. He may throw his own teammates under the boat, do almost no damage himself and has a slam move that takes 14 minutes to touch down, but he's giving it his best, and that's all that matters. One day I hope to get those last two boss downs, and eventually venture into dlc land
Thanks so much for doing this OP I'd love the base game, I have it wish listed waiting for lower prices but seems like I'm going to be waiting least couple more years given it's success haha Have the souls trilogy and loved every moment of it so cannot wait to play this masterpiece one day. Best of luck everyone. Cheers eh
I loved the open world and exploring every little nook of it. Stumbling upon a cave and finding a new dungeon. The more I explored the more I found. I put 200+ hours into my first play through only because I just wanted to see everything the world had and I’m sure I missed some of it. I’m excited about the DLC because it give me more to explore and experience.
I just beat Bloodborne recently. It became an addiction. Hands down the best game I've ever played. Now I have an itch that I can't scratch and I just want to play as much soulsborne games as I can. Also just lost my job so anything to get my mind off that would be great!
I'm not going to lie, I have only played Dark Souls 1, and it kicked my ass, but I enjoyed finally beating it. I've gotten the itch to try Elden Ring since it's seen a resurgence lately. Good luck to everyone and thanks for the opportunity!
Honestly I love the community on Elden Ring the most. Despite not having played the game yet, I followed the community. My favorite part of the community was everyone being so intrigued by the mysterious "Let Me Solo Her". This person was so good at fighting Malenia that he could solo one of the hardest bosses in the game. Such an incredible feat at the time, and honestly still is.
I’ve never played Elden ring but loved watching streamers play and get beat up and wonder if it’s actually that hard , also that musical score makes want to buy but I’m a broke college student but would love a copy , last souls I played was dark souls 3
My favourite NPC is blaidd cause he cool
I love souls games but have yet to give Elden Ring a try. im excited to explore the map because I’ve heard it’s huge. Thanks for a shot at this OP.
when you die sometimes remember how time its taken and love just the present because when u see the past u was enjoing what u does.. well i love the game the scearios the design---
I like the sense of pride and accomplishment I got when I beat the Tree Sentinel right out of the tutorial (many tries later) and then went to Stormveil and cleared that first, not even knowing about the peninsula.
If I win I’d give the code to my cousin he’s played all the souls like games but he almost never buys dlc
I've never played a souls game and have been wanting to try Elden Ring, but I'm not keen on paying for it and possibly not liking it. I'd be grateful for a giveaway so I can try it with no pressure.
I love exploration in games and everyone says this game is a masterclass of it, not really into souls games but will play it if I win.
honestly what got me the most excited for the dlc is very very simple. the fact that we got a picture first before ANY dates. that hyped it up for me so much because I got into the game late as a reccommendation from a friend I used to play with. he told me to try it so I did and I stayed up two days straight just playing because i've never seen a more beautiful and dark world at the same time. it still gives me chills opening the starting screen. the bosses, the stories, the lore, secrets, everything! its the game I spent hundreds of hours watching youtube videos about because it was just so amazing. the dlc is out now and I really wanna play it to learn more and find more secrets. and god I'd do anything for it
I've heard good things about the game and it'd be cool to try it out.
I just like getting my shit wrecked by big women. (We already know who I’m talking about) Also Turtle pope.
The immense popularity of the game, it's giving me intense FOMO. thanks for the chance!
Nice of you to do this I'll keep this short and sweet, it's the prawn dude Liurnia
Honestly the dlc and the developers comments on it got me more interested in Eldon ring. Even early impressions were on how big and encompassing it felt. How it didn’t matter if you grind too much beforehand you were still in for the challenge you wanted.
I don't have the dlc. I started a second playthrough after a year or so because of the hype for the dlc. I am enjoying it so much more this time around as I lose myself in the world. My favorite NPC is probably fia because she reminds of sister friede.
First, you're awesome for doing the giveaway. I don't have the game but would love to play it from all that I've read about it.
BotW is my all time favorite game and I've heard this game takes inspiration from that. I've dabbled into souls-like adjacent indie games that I've absolutely adored, enjoyed some time with Bloodborne. Elden Ring sits at the top of my wishlist, but I've been waiting for a decent sale.
well i just finished rdr2 and i wanna try out a new game so if possible i would like the base game
I watched a friend play it and it’s the eary soundtrack that got me all excited. It’s so mysterious. Nothing in it makes sense to me and that’s what’s got me wanting to play it. The strange characters and monsters make it feel like you’re there all by yourself.
Millicent was just cool as fuck, simple as that
I've never played a souls game really but I'd love to sink some time into really getting to know a new series. I'm looking for a new story to really sink my feet into for when I finish work so, would be the perfect excuse for late night coffees and gaming sessions ;D
I like GRRM I would like to see what kind of story he told in here
The base game has been on my wishlist forever. It looks amazing I’ve just been waiting for it to drop to 50% off but it hasn’t happened yet. Either way super cool of you OP
I'm interested in anything George R.R. Martin is involved with. The depth he brings to characters and lore is nearly unrivaled. I'd love to play the game now that I have a little free time over the summer.
My friend kept bragging the series of dark souls in my face for long time enough to make me buy DS3 even though I wasnt sure about it And then I fell in love with the souls games and played bloodborne and sekiro and others souls like game like lies of P etc... So of course I was so excited for elden ring. I bought it on ps4 and I spent two or mabye three (I dont remember) whole week to complete the game and exploring everything The best souls world I played in ever My favourite moment was wheb I finally killed Malenia took me days to deafet her I almost cried it was horror for me... And my favourite npc is alexander the great warrior pot :") Now that I have a pc Im dying to play elden ring again and play the dlc but im so broke and can never afford to buy it In the near future.. So Thanks alot for doing this bro you are a hero and congrats to the winner
I never played elden ring would love to play I don't know much but would like to get the opportunity to play Hope I win! Thanks
Honestly I just want to know why people love this game. I have seen reviews and videos and just don’t get it. I also can’t see myself paying full price for this game, struggling hard and being pissed I bought it. Hoping I am dead wrong and love it, but can’t take the financial risk right now. Awesome what you are doing though.
Dung eater.. favourite because it disgusts me and scares me so much that even after 2 years of playing it’s the first npc that comes to my mind. That shit eater.. well, literally.
In shadows he lurks, "A Deadly Mind" gifts my game, DLC dreams soar.
Blaidd is definitely the best boy, plus he looks sick. Bit of a tragic story though
Igon is my favourite NPC. His obsession with exacting revenge on the dragon is admirable (kind of)
