Rug pulling all Linux and by extension steam deck players by adding a worthless in house Anti-Cheat to a mostly single player RALLY GAME is insane and actually completely expected from one of gamings worst publishers.

Sorry that Codemasters has to be stuck under the thumb of such a dogwater company.

This game is cool when balancing team is kept in check.

I NEED TO CONSOOOOM MORE OVERPRICED DLC PLEASSSSSSE.

Things in DLC cool.

Maybe like, 16-18 USD of cool.

Not 25 of cool, Chaos Dwarfs were around 25 USD of cool.

This is not Chaos Dwarfs.

Either way, I am but a Machine that turns Money into new forms of Elven extermination. I must consume.

The Germans are bad at making race tracks.

I replaced this game with Rimworld as my dedicated time-waster warcrime sandbox years ago, I am now back and more incompetent and murderous than ever, Inshallah the "goblins" WILL know fear of extinction once more.

Before I started saw a review calling this game a simplistic button masher, tried to play it like a simplistic button masher, works until you leave tutorial, then you get re-integrated into the soil by Anjanath :).

Game good, game hard, game have minor annoyances due to archaic Japanese game design methods.

Overall, 200 hours in and like 3/5ths done with all the content, Still bad at game, Cannot stop playing please help me, This mean long neck dragon keeps calling me names, and the ballon animals keep trying to drug me.

Ubisoft has never mismanaged a game at any point during their long existence I assure you.

No ultrawide + Locked 60 + EAC + No Maidens = Exactly what I expected from a Japanese game company.

But Seriously, It is 2022, there is no native ultrawide, Linux players on launch were unable to play the game unless they disabled EAC which completely inhibits them from playing online, and worst of all, because of Fromsofts complete uninterest in optimizing Elden Ring, they have locked the game to 60, and no, it is not locked because of engine issues, The engine the game runs on does not tie game or animation speed to FPS, If you do not believe me, The fine gentleman Uberhalit, who made the Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Ultrawide, FOV and FPS uncap Utility, on the second day after launch, released this, https://github.com/uberhalit/EldenRingFpsUnlockAndMore A fully working FPS uncap util, The reasoning for the hard cap is because of their unwillingness to optimize the game, as many people have seen on day one of the PC release, even on the biggest and baddest PC's, even with the 60fps cap, the game stutters and drop frames like crazy, though thankfully, even after I disabled EAC, I still did run into some of these issues, though to a lesser extent compared to many others.

Easy Anti Cheat, not only did they release their game in a near unplayable state, they also implemented a anti-cheat that completely prevents people from playing online if they are using any of the community made Utilities that alleviate many of the main technical issues.

I have not encountered any game breaking "Moan Percent" level bugs, but, sometimes your horse will get stuck mid jump then shoot you into low earth orbit, and there is a- WAIT Just kidding, you guys remember the bug that completely removes your ability to attack until you restart your game? Well, IT'S BACK BABY, and it has happened more times than I can count.

After 35 hours of gameplay, I can safely say this is a one of a kind game, It has surpassed all my expectations, and in my opinion, has surpassed DS1 in its atmosphere and feel, as well as having far surpassed DS2 in scale, Overall, 10/10 in the gameplay department, My only complaints with the game are all jaded opinions, stemmed from my extensive experience with the Souls games causing the game to feel easier overall, and my personal belief that the addition of summoning feels like an absurdly powerful crutch mechanic that In my opinion could very well rob new players of the feeling of accomplishment that comes with the mastering of all the other combat mechanics in the game.

(I will be updating this review with any further bugs I find or upon patches that fix the mentioned technical issues, If they are all addressed to a point where I feel as though this game is stable enough to recommend paying the full price of the game, I will change this to a positive review) SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE, WILL UPDATE WHEN GAME IS FINISHED GETTING UPDATES IN LIKE TWO YEARS

The game had potential to be fun, but do to its Developers who prefer increased profits over making an enjoyable experience, It is not a game I would recommend unless you hate yourself and want to be punished for not giving Gaijin money (even more so recently). If you want a cool tank game, open a nice bottle of cope, flip out your lawn chair and join me in the year long wait for Gunner Heat PC.

Edit: Gunner, Heat, PC has released, You can safely avoid this stockholm syndrome inducing dumpster fire and go play that instead.

My childhood returns to haunt me on PC.
