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!

u/JesusTheMetal 2d ago
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!

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!

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.

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

u/BayBossRacoon 2d ago
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 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.

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.

u/Fjellapeutenvett 2d ago
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

u/ArcaneAncient 2d ago
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!

u/breakwater 2d ago
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.
2
u/Trickybuz93 2d ago
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.

u/ShadowsRanger Xcloud Guy ™ 2d ago
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 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.

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.

u/sirkulture 2d ago
I love Ranni the most because of her backstory and she also gives out my favourite side quests.
2
u/merrychristmasyo 2d ago
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.

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!

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

u/Milkyfluids69 2d ago
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. 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.
2
u/Firefly3578 2d ago
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.

u/Reddit-support404 2d ago
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.

u/AmphibianNo7055 2d ago edited 2d ago
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!

I never played Elden Ring. I only tried Dark Souls 1 and it was tough, not saying it's a bad game though.

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.

u/ThatEdward Reclamation Day 2d ago
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!

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.

u/Shujinco2 2d ago
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

u/Desert_Walker267 2d ago
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!

u/NoGoodGodGames 2d ago
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

u/Chawiliwanga 2d ago
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

u/Addon5509 2d ago
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

u/xXMalakianXVII 2d ago
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?
2
u/Bisforbenny 2d ago
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.

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

u/Practical_Republic_1 2d ago
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
2
u/Minecrafterpat2 2d ago
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.

u/Enclosedbook 2d ago
Tanith seemed like a cool prospect for a future elden ring boss given her eating habits.

u/PlayBey0nd87 XBOX Series X 2d ago
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.

u/Daetheyleid 2d ago
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.

u/NFLsubmodsaretrash 2d ago
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

u/ViolatedMuffins 2d ago
Not really a NPC but watching the legend of LetMeSoloHer unfold was a reddit moment for the ages!

u/TheHark90 2d ago
Favorite NPC is patches. He’s just so fun and always finds ways to screw you over

u/Sdn61387 2d ago
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
2
u/Geridious 2d ago
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

u/Dan_O8712 2d ago
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.
2
u/SMaddox50 2d ago
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!
2
u/HankHillbwhaa 2d ago
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!
2
u/wingman447 2d ago
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.

u/Retroparasite7 2d ago
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.

u/Juggernaut_WZRD 2d ago
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

u/youequalzero 2d ago
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.

u/NelsonBelmont XBOX 360 2d ago
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.
2
u/SynthShockZ 2d ago
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

Nice of you to do this
I'll keep this short and sweet, it's the prawn dude Liurnia

u/hellrocket 2d ago
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.
2
u/revults89 2d ago
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.
2
u/Quirky_Fan 2d ago
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.
2
u/evanmckee 2d ago
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.
2
u/Marco_yoi 2d ago
well i just finished rdr2 and i wanna try out a new game so if possible i would like the base game

u/Five_Knifes 1d ago
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
2
u/MardenWix 1d ago
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.

u/This_Emu5356 1d ago
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

u/throwaway72275472 1d ago
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.

u/FrostYea 1d ago
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.
