I was hyped for this perhaps more than any other game, ever. When Lost Ark came out I dived in and it was fantastic.
Then this thing happened. It was called Elden Ring. I’d never played any From Software games so it wasn’t even on my radar. Anyway, caused a detour from Lost Ark, shall we say.
As a result I’m taking Lost Ark much slower, I’m doing all the side quests, listening/reading to the dialogue, not just rushing shit. It’s amazing.
Yes honing sucks balls, I’m T2 and already experienced some truly WTF moments. (So I guess we do need cheap Lost Ark gold.)
But on the whole, an incredible game and one that I’m sure I’m enjoying much more for taking it slow.
