Finished. One of the best games EVER! Loved the combat and exploration. Love that it's a super linear game with secrets in between and there are invisible walls throughout. It did not follow Souls formula blindly which is a good thing since not everything has to be a copy. It's a must play game IMO and people thinking it's a tough game, it really isn't. It focuses purely on combat without any worry whatsoever. Like there is no penalty for death, fast travel from anywhere to anywhere even in between combat and lot of fighting tricks up in your sleeve. Progression system is pretty straightforward and informative unlike cryptic. Clocked in at 60 hours but I still feel it's short.

Have RPtech opened registrations yet? Either ways in case of 3080 they contacted me after 10 months of registering, and I had bought an AIB card in the first month at close to MSRP price anyway. So my plan remains the same- wait till about 10th Feb and see how prices are trending. If any, preferably white, card is at a reasonable price then get it. Otherwise wait. Feb and March are going to extremely hectic for me work wise so its not like I will get much time to play. Also have PS5 pro meanwhile to pass some time. Not in a hurry. I am also wavering on my purchase of a 5090. Its not about money so much, but rather the sheer heat and power consumption. In summers I will have to blast AC at it to keep room temp bearable. Couple with the power consumption the electricity bill will go through the roof, and my wife pays the electricity bill. Might kill me. Not to mention to keep PC cool I will need to increase the fan speeds, which is extra noise and I really like how silent my PC runs right now. So I might get a 5080 instead if its decent. I am finding it harder and harder to justify the heat and power consumption.
