I absolutely love this game! I got the first stragey guide but I might pick these up as well, seeing as I just started my berserk journey. I actually am doing a play threw with my dad currently.
I'm buying both asap. This is a testament to how amazing the game is overall. From the geographic aesthetics, to the character design and voice actors. This was truly a masterpiece and the DLC did not disappoint one bit.
It’s very cool watching and listening to you talk about video games, I would love to see that happen more often on the channel 🙂 I adored Bloodborne so I’ll definitely need to give this game a shot one day
I really don’t get what took udon so long. There’s little to no text to translate and the german version of this book has been out for months for like 20$ less as well
Beautiful collection Omar! I got a bit odd question please, is there a way to get only the slipcase since I preordered the two books when they came out first and they were separate at this time
Thanks for the video. Had them in the cart wishlist for some time, waiting for the review videos coming out. I'm a hardcore fan of souls games. I'm not a trophy hunter, only have 4 platinum trophies, all of them are souls games. I did have concerns for Udon publishing. Their previous art books have too glossy paper with too much reflection, too dark prints, too much wasted margin, no or very little developer comments. I see some problems still present here, but overall the books look gorgeous, have to have them.
I love this edition. I wanted to purchase it but, unfortunately, shipping to Spain is ridiculously expensive. It's sad, I appreciate this editions tho, I love the slipcase!
The biggest problem with this book is that they didn't just make it an A3 landscape book, but instead insisted on A4 pages, and only using 50% of the page, where as the rest is just blank white. I would have bought this if they had actually formatted it properly, but they obviously had little care for the book and just pasted images in without bleed and format. Whoever edited this book should be fired.
My older brothers love Elden ring and I was thinking of gifting them this for Christmas, is it a good option? They already have the game and dlc so I don’t know what else I could gift them other than the art book
@@NearMintCondition Omar! Let me know if you need help or guidance! Sounds like you're brother and cousin got you covered, but I'm always down to hand out a bit of advice or lay down my sword for a fellow tarnished! Pro tip, level vigor early. The earlier the better.
As a designer, a book as such seems like a terrible idea to me, to begin with the 2-page illustrations with that natural split of the book makes it look horrible, besides I would have preferred that all those illustrations were in postcard format than a book as such, In a box, they would have saved so much in pasting, printing, sheets, and other processes, that is why I recommend the guide books a thousand times, there is real design work there.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude…best game of the decade, indeed. You gotta get that Colossal Greatsword (Gut’s sword!!!) and add the Lion’s Claw Ash of War; Berserk wish-fulfillment 🤩🤩
Those look absolutely amazing! Subbed & Liked! Enjoyed the video! Good work! The Demon’s Souls remake is actually just on the PS5 ONLY. I wish it was on the Nintendo Switch as I’d be bringing that on the go everywhere!
I hope I can word this the right way... I've collected dozens or game art books over the years: Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Devil May Cry, Gears of War, etc. I just marvel at the imagination, design, detail, textures and colors of the concept art. But often, the actual game falls short of the ambitious concept art. Elden Ring is the first instance where the game itself eclipses the beauty of its concept art... the game itself is the masterpiece.
Hope you played other soul-like games from those creators because man you will be raging and confused asf 😅😂 having that experience from the other games will definitely help.
very disappointed in these art books. I know udon is known for rushing junk to market but i waited for these for ages and to find out there basically just screenshots painted over is a huger let down.
This seems incredibly lazy to me. Having a two page spread on so many pages makes, but also the ones where it just goes a littlebit across the pagespread. I love the game, but I will never buy lazy artbooks like these. Luckily there is a digital version of the artbook that this works much better with.
Beautiful art book, Omar! Thanks for the video!
My pleasure!
been waiting for these.
gonna assume that after the dlc or dlc's are done there may be a volume 3.
Im going to have to pick these up! What amazing artwork. What a quality book set from Udon as well!

Udon is doing such a good job

I've never played the game but I need this.
Absolutely beautiful box set.

literally did not open the first book until 5'11" ... I feel like this is the book review equivalent of death by a thousand paper cuts.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for watching.
funny I am playing elden ring as the video dropped. Cool video as ever Omar!
Very cool art 📚😮😮😊😊
So many berserk references in this game and the art books look amazing!
I know the Great sword in the game is a Reference to Gut's "Dragonslayer" Sword..
As Fromsoftware wanted to Tribute Kentaro Miura...
Where can I get it with the included case?

These aren't out yet, right? Amazon is showing a release date in September.
One of my favorite games.
Udon never disappoints.

Sabes si hay en Español?
@@samirlavado712 hombre esta edición no, pero vamos, que es un libro de arte, no hay mucho por traducir

The guides are top notch, the artbook not so much
Great art book 😁
Such a great game. Can't wait for the DLC.
I’m an hour in… what am I doing with my life? lol

Damn, I didn't know there was a box set with a slipcase. I just ordered both books from Amazon.
So much cheaper on Amazon tho. $120 on udon for this box set, $80 for both on Amazon

Please share your thoughts and feelings after you play,.. and I think you find in this game more than only sword and armor from Berserk ;-)
Have fun dying Omar. haha 😅 Really cool set.
Hope you played other soul-like games from those creators because man you will be raging and confused asf 😅😂 having that experience from the other games will definitely help.
Demon souls lol not even the Dark souls.
@@NearMintCondition ayy it’s better then nothing 😅😂 you got this Omar I believe in you
free pdf link ??
Your brother knows what he’s doing
I have Japanese versions. It’s suck they don’t have hard cover…
Awesome
very disappointed in these art books. I know udon is known for rushing junk to market but i waited for these for ages and to find out there basically just screenshots painted over is a huger let down.
I hope, if you really like video games, that you truly give the game a chance. It is game of the year but is really the best game I’ve ever played!

la wea mierda xd
I think I am an Elden noob. I only played 180 hours and completed the game 3 times _(to get all the chvs)_ 😀
I wish youd just go through the book silently.
You havent played it
You have nothing yo talk abou
Plenty of channels out there that flip through books without saying anything. Do a quick search.
Very meh
