I forgot to make a thread last week but oh well. I have been playing a new Elden Ring character. I originally thought I was gonna try to get to the DLC as fast as possible but I then decided "nah" and have played through most of the game, but have finally arrived in the DLC and have respec'd my build for Rellana's twin swords. Anyway, hope everyone has had a good week

It's an incredibly fun game. They really nailed the Mad Max feel

I made a comment a week or so ago but it really does nail the Mad Max aesthetic. The problem is the in-game story is a bit retconned. But my head cannon is that the whole Mad Max lore is being told through campfire tales in the far future anyway so it's like an "unreliable narrator" idea between the Lost Tribe and the History Men/Women.

Big issue in-game is that the character Scrotus is actually Rictus in Fury Road. Second issue is that the game probably takes place between Furiosa and Fury Road but opens up with Scrotus(or Rictus) getting murked with a chainsaw but he(well all 3 brothers) are in Fury Road. The rest so far could fit in a "what was Max doing during the 18 years between Furiosa and Fury Road though.

But I digress. It's really fun and easy to pick up and put down. It's hard at times when you get overwhelmed by bad guys but it's very forgiving because you just start back at the last checkpoint. I have water, ammo, and fuel refill set up at Jeet's place so I can fast travel whenever I need more too lol.

E: I guess in-game Scrotus is still alive since he's the final boss.

I just played it the first time a couple months ago, and downloaded some "fury road" style shaders to really enhance the look. It was great. Decent fun, holds up relatively well.

The game def feels like it came from that era of base taking games but it still looks really good. I can imagine using 3rd party shaders to make it really shine.
