There's bows fam
Know what else is 11 years old? Dark Souls.

Agreed. Developers should take a queue from From Soft on how to release a full game that’s not plagued with bugs from the rip. I’ve heard PC may have had some performance issues but whether ER is your cup of tea or not, no one can deny the devs hit a home run from an overall performance standpoint.

Bro I'd play it now, but I have a little bit of a backlog. I'm currently thoroughly enjoying Forbidden West. I'd be well over 100 hrs by the time I'm done with it.
I think people will be talking about Elden Ring for a long time. Especially since they've been talking about Bloodborne since 2015. One thing to note though, while I own and have beaten skyrim twice (and I move slowly with games to experience as much as I can) I'd say that the biggest draw of skyrim isn't the combat system or the story itself but it's the world/lore and how many discoverables and side missions there are. Also, and most importantly its role playing aspects.

Elden Ring seems to be a story you have to piece together through gameplay. There's no heavy dialog or role playing so that puts it at a disadvantage when it comes to replayability

The game has been one of the GOAT Steam Deck titles, heck it's one of the premier titles for showing off what it can do. That's how I've been playing it. They did a great job of optimizing it.

Honestly I gotta say that the success of Elden Ring is one I can't feel bad about regardless of how much I'm a fan of it or not. The fact that it's a complete experience, that doesn't try to upsell you on DLC, that doesn't need months/years of patching to be the game that it should be, well that's sadly become something of a rarity in today's AAA market. Maybe this will finally get some publishers/devs to make games the way they should be.

Better get on that boyo, missing out srs

After an ungodly amount of hours into it + plat trophy.... Top 5 game ever srs

and still nowhere near sick of it, I'll be playing this for a long time

Das it mane. I'm 82 hours right now into Forbidden West and it's most likely the best game I ever played along with Witcher 3. Fuarking LOVE it and still have alot to do so I'm not really in a rush to move on.

I just used my bow to take out 3 archers, 2 giant bats and lord knows how many eagles. I was getting cocky then I used in on a horse sentinel which chases you down and clubs you to death in 2 1/2 good hits.
