Welcome to Elden Ring! I am finally getting around to playing it, I had this game when it released, had plans to play it but then just so many other things came up and I found myself liking Souls games that I could co-op so waited until I could have a friend to play it but then a nice co-op mod was made and makes things so much easier. Nioh has spoiled me when it comes to co-op style Soul like games in how they are done so this was really nice to do.
My experience with souls games is that I have beaten Dark Souls Remastered, though a very angry me back in the day, I still get angry but I have mellowed out a lot more since then. I never beat Dark Souls II, just struggled to get into that one and then played a ton of Dark Souls III co-op with my friend Jon in the past and NG+ a ton of that one even though the way I play now doesn't really show I did that, so I'll say I was carried cause I'm not great at these games. I also played Bloodborne, loved what I played of it but as usual, something came up and I didn't continue playing cause once I stop playing these souls game, I feel like I am back to square one and can't continue at the same level.
These games are always fun and I know people are like "You got to play it Solo for the real experience" and all that but I play games to have fun, not to be good at them. Do I wish I was better at Elden Ring and souls games, sure I do really enjoy them (except for the lack of quest log/marker stuff, so many cool story things that could be easily missed or forgotten, yes some people would disagree but should be a fun option to turn on and off but still I don't hold my lack of ability against the game) Though I am not against one day trying a souls game solo and seeing if I could beat it without co-op but for now, I'm just playing whatever and having fun!
