An important part of large video game releases, especially those with online features, is for one, seeing how it plays, and two, how well the game’s servers hold up. These two factors are essentially what the upcoming Elden Ring closed network test is seeking to examine, allowing fans an early opportunity to try the game, while giving FromSoftware an opportunity to see how the game is running on the back end....

Using a specific item, players are able to write Messages that leave a brief line of text which has the chance of appearing in another Tarnished’s world, who are then able to read and react to it. Messages can be rated either Good or Bad, with the former granting the author an additional Flask of Crimson Tears use if they too are online. The catch, as well as part of what makes the system so compelling, is that players are limited as to what they can write, forced to construct phrases and sentences with predetermined templates, conjunctions, and words....
Some of Sekiro’s influence has made its way into Elden Ring, but for many fans, it is clear to see that FromSoftware wanted to base its latest title on games like Bloodborne and Dark Souls. However, this hasn’t stopped some Elden Ring modders from trying to instill the game’s combat with a Sekiro feel. The Sword Mastery - Total Combat Overhaul mod was created by AntiSteak and looks to do exactly what the title suggests....
The Tree Sentinel is one of Elden Ring’s most famous bosses.

Zullie the Witch is a content creator and YouTuber known for delving into FromSoftware’s game files to find the secrets hidden within. In a new video, she asks a simple question, “What’s the biggest dragon in FromSoftware’s library of games?” Appropriately, she starts with the first Souls-like title of FromSoftware’s run of modern action RPGs, Demon’s Souls. That’s fitting because Demon’s Souls has a boss named Dragon God. RELATED: Strange Elden Ring Clip Shows Dragon Killing Itself Mid-Fight...
This trick has been embodied by the best FromSoftware players like Let Me Solo Her, and it is one of a few ways gamers will often approach the game. If players are not aggressive, they will likely be defensive, taking very long with their fights and attacking briefly in between several dodges. While this allows many to get through their fights eventually, this approach does take longer and forces players to dodge more than they attack, which could lead to mistakes....
Skooma has taken a life of its own among Elder Scrolls fans, reaching into the realm of memes. It is not quite as popular as the Khajit memes, but often goes hand-in-hand with those because of the relationship Khajit have with skooma.

While the fictional drug is well-loved by the fandom, not all are aware of its lore....

The effects of the global health crisis are already on full display in the 2020 cycle, which has been thrown into slight chaos as officials navigate how to balance public health and election security. The most immediate solution for state and local contests, including the Democratic primary race, has been to limit in-person voting by increasing mail and absentee balloting. If that trend continues, voters can expect a very different presidential election in November....
Public transport will be reduced to around 10 percent of its usual capacity according to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, even when full service resumes.

From Software’s latest title, Elden Ring, serves as an evolution of the studio’s work, taking those boss battles and high skill gameplay and infusing it into the open world genre. Instead of following a specific path, players are now free to roam and explore, typically rewarded for following their curiosity. While there’s a greater sense of openness with Elden Ring, players are still facing a challenge, some of which may prove to be a difficult hurdle to overcome....
