That's where I'm at with Elden Ring as well. Been telling myself "Wait till it's on sale" for years now, sale comes around and my plate is still full.
In the minority but I didn't dig ER. Adore the Souls games (especially 1) but just didn't find ER fun or enjoyable. Think I much prefer the more intimate design of Souls maps and dungeons.
That makes sense to me. To me it sounds like a very brutal and darker Breath of the Wild tbh, which doesn't sound unappealing to me but I see how that's not necessarily the vibe for the more seasoned Souls player.
Didn't 100% finish Bloodborne, but having it be my first Souls game (which, as I understand it, isn't recommended) made my first run of DS1 Remastered a lot of fun.
I also second what Cardboard Jesus said, Bloodborne's atmosphere is impeccable. Would kill for some kind of sequel/continuation in its world. Shit even just a PC re-release would be nice, at the moment the only option for that is to emulate the PS4. Took almost 20 years for both PS2 and 3 emulation to be viable on a gaming PC, don't even want to try a PS4 right now.
