Recently played the Systemshock Remake. That guy would hate it. No Tutorials, no Markers, no objectives(directly given to you), and no questlog or directions.
"If they told me, 'Hey, the main objective is here.' it would have been easy." They do tell you the main objective, become Elden Lord by any means possible.
I think Elden Ring and most of fromsoftware souls games are like a listening comprehension test. If you understand what the NPC are talking you can progress.
"They don't tell me where to go!" My brother in Christ, the very first NPC you meet as soon as you step out into limgrave tells you to go to Stormveil and get a great rune by defeating Godrick, and there's exactly 5 sites of grace between the first step and Margit's arena, and they all point towards stormveil.
“Elden ring is terrible, I played for a total of 5 minutes with a terrible build & I didn’t even beat soldier of Godrick yet, this game is too difficult even though I’m playing at RL1 & wearing an overload, as well as not exploring at all, which is not my fault, nothing is my fault, it’s the game’s fault, 0/1000.

There are 4 types (everyone is a mix of these): killers (the player who goes in trying to kill everything in sight, especially tough opponents, like bosses or PvP), socializers (online is the place to be for them), achievers (checking those Steam achievements) and explorers (like you or me, we like to explore and discover things).

exploring is probably my favorite thing to do in elden ring way better than exploring a bland ubisad open world, like what did they expect in a open world game
Elden Ring isn't my cup of tea, but I know a Ton of people love it, no one needs to go around and say to others what game's good and what's not, all form of arts is subjective.
I beat the game about two weeks ago and I know that my favorite area was the Eternal City because it was so unexpected and beautiful. Exploring really is such an experience to where there were times that I wanted to take my time so that I could soak everything in since I was going in blind. I was constantly looking for noticeable landmarks on the map just to see what I'd find when my friend could have easily told me everything.
I hate it so much when people claim you have to grind/farm in Elden Ring. Bro, exploring optional areas and killing enemies there is not grinding. They willingly buy one of the biggest, longest single player games ever and they complain that it takes a lot of time to complete it.
I kind of agree with him though, ofcourse it shouldnt be like in ubisoft games where everything should be on the map but there should be more hints or atleast something more imo to guide you in side quests like rannis quest, i would not have found out/understood what to do in that quest without a wiki or guide. I think a good idea would have been to introduce something similar to the wind guidance in Ghosts of tsushima
Every NPC (except Hoslow) says where they're going to head to next. Ranni herself tells you where to go till she becomes a doll but the building right next to her tower becomes available when that happens
You want to know how he's bullshitting a little bit? He used Maliketh's blade in the Red Wolf of Radagon. He had to look at the towering academy in the middle of a lake, said "nah" and progressed through the game until he made it to one of the final bosses in the game. Then he went back to the academy (probably just for the sake of the exploration arguement) and went through the academy till he made it to that boss. He unironically did the very thing Elden Ring tries to teach you "come back when you're stronger" and he keeps saying that he has to farm for 3 years despite the game not even being that old.
Renalla's remembrance does offer end level stuff for how early of a boss she is as she's only the second one that has a remembrance you come across probably; Radahn and Rykard are the other two options. At 10:55 he's using the curved great sword that drops of magma dragon Makar in that giant gave that scales the cliff to Altus Plateau. Aka he doubled back to fight Relanna. He had Maliketh's Black Blade which is just bamboozling since he's fighting Red Wolf of Radagon. Cyperpunk Phantom Liberty won a reward last year so I will be so tight if SOTE doesn't get a nomination in that same category. Also the questing/exploration in Vanilla WoW through Wrath of the Lich King had a stupid section of the game where level 55-58 was just stupid to get through. You'd be in one zone and the quest would tell you go across the damn continent to find the next one in the chain. The capstone zones for Vanilla WoW were just awful design wise for leveling purposes. Heck one of them (Slithus) remained awful when Cataclysm (expac after Wrath) remade and redesigned all the Vanilla WoW zones. Elden Ring is literally no where as bad no matter how you slice it when it comes to it's exploration. However, due to being an open world game Elden Ring loses a good bit of its replay value. The open world is more of a hindrance once you know where what you want is located and you've already explored stuff in another play through. The game makes it stupidly easy to get an op Intelligence build going by just grabbing three things from Caelid (Meteorite Staff, Rock Sling and Moonveil). You don't have to fight a boss for a single one of these three items; Moonveil is in a chest while the other are literally just laying on the ground. Rock Sling is one of the best spammable spells, and Moonveil is still one of the strongest unique Int weapons. Meanwhile the Meteorite Staff will easily carry you through to about half way through the mountain tops since it's permanent stuck around a +21/+8 upgrade level. It's silly he didn't know about the bell bearings since the Godskin Duo (a mandatory boss) drops the last somber smithing stone bell bearings.
There are plenty of games that have been released that are objectively bad (i.e., Anthem, Cyberpunk’d), but ER is NOT one of those games! 🤨 Grow a pair, madam.
Spoilers Elden Ring, Obviously, scroll away: True exploration can suck sometimes but holy fuck when you manage to defeat Radahn, you find out that there was a whole underground city, a lake of rot that is UNDER Raya Lucaria (that place is basically falling apart, will end up in said rot soon), Godwyn's still spreading corpse is down there too.
I like how these elden ring related stuff pop up just when i started saving up for game when it goes on sale, and after that I’m going with sekiro and DS3, and if sony will be kind enough to release bloodborne on PC without PSN requirement i will get that one as well
Some of my friends have played Elden Ring for about 30 hours now. Still die to Soldiers of Godrick and don't dodge their attacks. For anyone who has this issue, why don't you dodge at all? My friends have a hard time articulating it. Do you get overwhelmed and freeze up? Are you not familiar with a controller? Do you feel you haven't been punished enough for not doing it, so you don't dodge much? My friends usually rely more on spacing and jumping but it usually ends bad for them Edit: forgot to include "soldiers of godrick"
Man. This really emphasizes the main rule of all souls/borne/ring/dies twice games. Learn then win. He doesn't want to learn about anything that could help him.
I hated elden ring for a while until my friend made me play, once I got to the dlc and fought mohg so like 20 hours in i actually started to like the game because it was a difficult fight but not difficult for the wrong reason it wasn't annoying difficult where if you mess up once you instantly die it was a fair fight
-complains about having to grind -complains about not getting good equipment -“hey how did you get that?” “Oh I used a guide” -trashes using a guide Literally refuses to help himself, still complains.
Sorry, but any game where the consensus is that you need to use a guide outside of the game itself is objectively flawed. Not claiming whether or not elden ring does or does not fall into this category. More so wrote this comment to address the "trashes using the guide" bit of your comment.
@@amazingaugusto1736what a weird take. I use guides not because a game is too hard or too obtuse, it’s because I have a job, a wife, children and responsibilities, so I use them to find and do everything in a game because my time is finite and I only ever have one shot to play a game, so I want to do literally everything I can in the game because I’m probably not gonna come back to it after it’s beaten
I get where he's coming from, I had a similar feeling that at times, the game was a bit TOO hands off with me. I looked up guides at times, especially in trying to follow the side stories of some of the NPCs, like Millicent. I mean, sure the sites of grace point you to Leyndell, but you don't really get much info where to find some NPC and they're often in quite easy to miss places OR you need to perform very specific actions in a very specific order which isn't really explained properly. I'm not saying it needed quest markers, but something more was necessary to avoid me using a guide.
@@robdurfee6861 Never claimed that there was anything wrong with using a guide. I am specifically referring to when a game is unclear or obtuse as you say that the common opinion is that you need to use a guide. This is an issue with game design. If you want to use a guide, more power to you.
How does this guy expect to explore secrets running the outer edge of the map instead of exploring actual cities and such? Who puts a secret passage on the outskirts of a town or city?
Someone saying elden ring or any dark souls game sucks (including 2) is like a Taylor swift fan saying Beethoven piano sonatas suck....... No.. They don't suck.. You do
You mean to tell me I have to duel in this card battling game? I don't have 300 hours for this! This game must be trash! (playing Yugioh Stardust Accelerator and I heard that guy whine lol)
ok i kinda get what he means because the same thing happend with me when i first got elden ring but i left it for a month came back but because i didn't know where to go i watched a walkthrough for the first boss (godrick and margit) then after that i got the hang of the souls sorta way of telling you were to go i just needed a boot to the buttocks to get me to notice it because elden ring was my first souls game now i've played through elden dlc, dark souls 1, 2 and 3, sekiro, lies of p and lords of the fallen
That's actually really funny because you already did all of the exploration you needed to do for the main story. If you kept going there would've been two legacy dungeons left and that's it
@xryeau_1760 I believe I might be underleveled. But I don't want to explore. I don't want to do a cave where the boss will most likely give me something I won't use.
You stopped when the game stops being open-world. The next area is one of the most linear areas in the game and the little exploration that is there are separate rooms that lead to talismans and items that counter the area boss.
Dude after the fire giant, there is maybe twenty minutes left to play, just go fight the final trio and ... never mind mentally misplaced Destined Death and Fire Giant, you have around an hour left of the game...
Yes it is annoying but you could just turn the invasion system off you can literally turn that off I got annoyed with people invading me but I turned it off
Be fair: only on pc and through a mod, because the majority of people can't deal with the game alone or with invasions even when cooping. And don't start about "ER being a coop game" because i play since DS1 and i know the systems of these games. Annoyed by invasions? Just play alone (ER only) or more simply play offline, and you're gold. Having the cake and eating it too isn't legit in the slightest. 😏
@@alessandrobaggi6129 no s*** Sherlock I'm playing offline Captain obvious already I said in my post that I turned that off what did you not understand 🤷
Honestly i kinda got sick of pvp in souls games. Specially when the open world nature of Elden Ring makes it easier for people with obnoxious and overpowered for their level builds to invade people. My friend and i got invaded So much on release week by people with low level cheese builds at the time. Made it a really irritating experience. I say this as someone who has played through every one of from's soul style games to the end beside sekiro(i am gsrbage at parrying), warts and all. Still beat Elden Ring as a Team but the invasions really ruined it for us specifically. A toggle would of been appreciated. And no, 'playing solo or offline' isnt a toggle. Its a requirement if you dont like other people wasting your time.
There are some bad boss designs in elden ring (fire giant, godskin duo), and the late game is nonsense, but up to the city around the base of the erdtree the game is great! Bosses/enemies that do physics-breaking-ish fakeouts to make you dodge too early are BS tho. I still play DS1 because it truly feels fair. I gave up on elden ring because it stopped feeling fair.
What late game boss is bs to you? Maliketh has low health and slow attacks, Godfrey telegraphs his moves at a reasonable pace, and the final boss attacks with holy (which is one of the easiest elements to resist). I also disagree with the fake-out argument, Malenia has 3 variants of a double-slash attack and paying attention to her movements will reward you with different punishes.
I don't remember what it was or if it was even real, but it was a press conference of designing a game to allow the lowest common denominator to play and was using DSP as their example... It sounded a lot like this guy...
It always amuses me that triple A gamers get offended by games that don’t adhere to the “modern standards”. Signalis would make this guy lose his mind because it’s a true survival horror experience. Atelier Sophie The Alchemist of of the Mysterious Book is a game that would trigger this guy too, after all Alchemy and turn based combat are essential to completing the game. TLDR indie and double A games are better, and 97% of triple A games are inferior.
I played every souls religiously, Elden Ring didn't really hit me in the same places, I think I simply prefer the more structured world design instead of a full on sandbox, but I still played it through once and enjoyed myself decently enough and never really got lost. This guy seems like the typical Ubisoft troglodyte that needs 8 different pointers where to go. My sense of direction is dog bollocks and ER still railroaded my dumbass pretty seamlessly. And difficulty? Please, ER is the easiest game in the franchise. You can reliably just go with the heaviest chungass armor+shield and the biggest stick and just spam, spam, spam and 9 out of 10 times you'll win. So this guy: Doesn't want to explore Doesn't want to fight Doesn't want to level Doesn't want to think So, what in the godsh*te does he want to do? Play Sims?
I have a few complaints about the dlc but other then that I find the game to be a near master piece. My issues with the dlc are mainly 3 things, the first is the ending, the last boss was amazing but story wise I wish there was something more, felt kind of like a nothing ending, the second thing was something I found odd, Miquella abandoned everything to save his sister who was very loyal to him, I felt like he 100% no longer cared for her in the dlc and that change felt real odd to me and the last one, I feel like they missed a great opportunity to have an extra bit if you did the frenzied flame ending, would have been neat if they fit a Melina fight in there somewhere.
you can get the gold pickled fowl foot recipe in limgrave and once you beat the first boss you can get access toa secret area that can get you a lot of runes
still on my first play throu, on the DLC, 160+ hours in.. and i guess I spent like 5 hours grinding in the birbs place underground just to have the playstile i like, after all of tha tgrinding is been a blast exploring, roleplaying and enjoying the epic battles... if youre not into exploring, which is literaly the point of THIS GAME, dont bother and go back to your Dooms and duke nukems ( and i know even those have exploration to do but dont tell him that, he'll have an aneurism)
I believe that exploration can be quite tedious, Halo Infinite was quite boring for me. Tons of exploration, no real big reward....Witcher 3 is great ,but the map is quite big...Elden Ring is just the right kind of big, if the map were bigger, it would have deterred me from even getting it!
This is my forth from software game, with Bloodborne being my favorite. In saying that i like exploration, but in my opinion the map in elden ring is way too big and a lot of the map is empty. I like exploring as much as the next guy but i dont like when you find some secret path that doesn't seem to go anywhere important
You dont need all damn Dungeons man, hell i even rush to Margit first and snack those big Runes.... my goodness for a start up its okay or if you want specific items /weapons
You don't necessarily need to explore a lot in elden ring to get far honestly, I made it to I believe the second to last boss by mostly just spending hours farming, say 75% of the time because I personally felt that exploring was very unrewarding and not worth my time. I never finished the game because I didn't like it in the end, it was too restricting and unrewarding for my liking but I guess because that's coming from someone who prefers the earlier games in the series(demon's souls and whatnot) and I don't know but when I do explore in games I want to find stuff that'll make me want to explore more but just getting ashes of war, spirit ashes, and mushrooms over and over again just killed my interest in doing so. Not saying it's a bad game, just saying that if I did want to play a souls game I'd just rather play the others, so yes it wasn't for me.
I'll give you 3 examples from the DLC. So, I'm on PC. The area where you enter the DLC, after beating Mohg... it was stuttering, with low FPS. I was honestly worried I might not be able to finish the DLC because of stuff like that. Then, during the final boss fight, again I had frames drop. And another issue with frames was when I entered the castle where Messmer was, coming from the other side, from Manus Metyr... again, frames were dropping significantly. I'm talking maybe 10-20 FPS. But it never got to being unplayable or impossible to finish. Still, it's risky for a game where quick reactions are necessary.
@octavianpopescu4776 ill be honest I only played the base game on PC so I'll take your guyses word on it. On PC I mainly just play with the carian combo warriors mod. I personally didn't notice any stutters on xbox, not saying they weren't there, but thank you all for letting me know!😁
This guy has skill issue, but id hardly call horse butt loading screen over empty land to copy paste catacombs "exploration". Honestly fs couldve just connected all the legacy dungeons like ds1 with a little bit of inbetween for transitions and nothing of value would be lost. Although, with the amount of people that went to catacombs first and gave up, I doubt we'd see a lack of takes like this lmao
I mean why would you explore? To fight a copy paste boss at the end of a copy paste dungeon full of the same copy paste enemies and copy paste level design / puzzle, just to get a casul summon as reward and a metric ton of resources that serve no purpose since i craft the same consumable during all the playthrough anyway. Didn't watch the video entirely but man you just sound so condescending for no reason pls stfu his criticism is based and elden ring second to worst fromsoft imo 😂😂😂 (i finished the game (and all optionals))
this guy is the reason why every modern AAA game has 3 hours worth of tutorials
Not to mention yellow paint plastered everywhere, a UI filled with markers and reminders for the most mundane things, and completely braindead tasks like 'pick up the glowy thing and put it in the other glowy thing two feet away to open the door' while some npc tells you what to do every 10 seconds in case you can't figure it out. 🤦

What is up with people playing games they dont like so they can join the game circle. There are plenty of games you can play to feel included.
Spoilers Elden Ring, Obviously, scroll away:
True exploration can suck sometimes but holy fuck when you manage to defeat Radahn, you find out that there was a whole underground city, a lake of rot that is UNDER Raya Lucaria (that place is basically falling apart, will end up in said rot soon), Godwyn's still spreading corpse is down there too.
I like how these elden ring related stuff pop up just when i started saving up for game when it goes on sale, and after that I’m going with sekiro and DS3, and if sony will be kind enough to release bloodborne on PC without PSN requirement i will get that one as well
Bloodborne is now emulated on pc, no need for Sony permission 😉
@ even better, they ain’t getting no penny
Some of my friends have played Elden Ring for about 30 hours now. Still die to Soldiers of Godrick and don't dodge their attacks. For anyone who has this issue, why don't you dodge at all? My friends have a hard time articulating it. Do you get overwhelmed and freeze up? Are you not familiar with a controller? Do you feel you haven't been punished enough for not doing it, so you don't dodge much? My friends usually rely more on spacing and jumping but it usually ends bad for them
Edit: forgot to include "soldiers of godrick"
You don't like to explore in games? Then I suggest not showing your face in areas wuth fans of Metroidvanias!
Ever heard of the sentence "Maybe this game does not suit my gaming style"
It's literally not exploring if you know where everything is
Man.
This really emphasizes the main rule of all souls/borne/ring/dies twice games.
Learn then win.
He doesn't want to learn about anything that could help him.
I hated elden ring for a while until my friend made me play, once I got to the dlc and fought mohg so like 20 hours in i actually started to like the game because it was a difficult fight but not difficult for the wrong reason it wasn't annoying difficult where if you mess up once you instantly die it was a fair fight
Popular game bad because I am rebellious.
-complains about having to grind
-complains about not getting good equipment
-“hey how did you get that?” “Oh I used a guide”
-trashes using a guide
Literally refuses to help himself, still complains.
Sorry, but any game where the consensus is that you need to use a guide outside of the game itself is objectively flawed. Not claiming whether or not elden ring does or does not fall into this category. More so wrote this comment to address the "trashes using the guide" bit of your comment.
@@amazingaugusto1736what a weird take. I use guides not because a game is too hard or too obtuse, it’s because I have a job, a wife, children and responsibilities, so I use them to find and do everything in a game because my time is finite and I only ever have one shot to play a game, so I want to do literally everything I can in the game because I’m probably not gonna come back to it after it’s beaten
I get where he's coming from, I had a similar feeling that at times, the game was a bit TOO hands off with me. I looked up guides at times, especially in trying to follow the side stories of some of the NPCs, like Millicent. I mean, sure the sites of grace point you to Leyndell, but you don't really get much info where to find some NPC and they're often in quite easy to miss places OR you need to perform very specific actions in a very specific order which isn't really explained properly. I'm not saying it needed quest markers, but something more was necessary to avoid me using a guide.
@@robdurfee6861 Never claimed that there was anything wrong with using a guide. I am specifically referring to when a game is unclear or obtuse as you say that the common opinion is that you need to use a guide. This is an issue with game design. If you want to use a guide, more power to you.
@@amazingaugusto1736 Perhaps
There is no such thing as 10/10 but there is 9/10 which means its a very good game if not one of the best game you played.
Honestly, for me, some games, including Elden Ring were 10/10. 10/10 doesn't mean perfect for me, but it is close enough.
10/10 isnt perfect its one of the best ever made
How does this guy expect to explore secrets running the outer edge of the map instead of exploring actual cities and such? Who puts a secret passage on the outskirts of a town or city?
that horse gameplay was criminal
This the kind of person who plays minecraft and builds a house near spawn and cries about it on a public server. Pretty sure.
Someone saying elden ring or any dark souls game sucks (including 2) is like a Taylor swift fan saying Beethoven piano sonatas suck....... No.. They don't suck.. You do
You mean to tell me I have to duel in this card battling game? I don't have 300 hours for this! This game must be trash!
(playing Yugioh Stardust Accelerator and I heard that guy whine lol)
Companies: why dont well this idiot a pay to win card for $100
I used guides cause this was my first souls like game. I'm a newb at these games and I'm surprised I got to the godskin duo
I thought this was gonna be about DSP. Right? Right
ok i kinda get what he means because the same thing happend with me when i first got elden ring but i left it for a month came back but because i didn't know where to go i watched a walkthrough for the first boss (godrick and margit) then after that i got the hang of the souls sorta way of telling you were to go i just needed a boot to the buttocks to get me to notice it because elden ring was my first souls game now i've played through elden dlc, dark souls 1, 2 and 3, sekiro, lies of p and lords of the fallen
Look at the sites of grace they point to the objective.
@fabiourbano6404 i know that now im on about when i first got elden ring and what my experience was like because it's somewhat similar
@@yomrwhite607 1 fair complaint is Ranni giving you the spirit bell. You may never return to that church and don't get the Summon bell.
@@fabiourbano6404 you can buy it from the roundtable hold if you miss it
he can't even beat Margit and is an elitist LOL
He should have play ds1. Get to know about the dark souls gameplay.
I personally don't like open world. That's why I stopped playing Elden Ring after the Fire Giant. I don't want to explore.
That's actually really funny because you already did all of the exploration you needed to do for the main story. If you kept going there would've been two legacy dungeons left and that's it
@xryeau_1760 I believe I might be underleveled. But I don't want to explore. I don't want to do a cave where the boss will most likely give me something I won't use.
You stopped when the game stops being open-world. The next area is one of the most linear areas in the game and the little exploration that is there are separate rooms that lead to talismans and items that counter the area boss.
Dude after the fire giant, there is maybe twenty minutes left to play, just go fight the final trio and ... never mind mentally misplaced Destined Death and Fire Giant, you have around an hour left of the game...
Lol one hit kills are just a vigor check!!!
Not necessarily. I think some of the damage is calculated as a percentage of your HP, so the bigger your HP, the bigger the damage you take.
@@octavianpopescu4776 But none of those are 100% of your health or have incrediblely obvious tells/wind-ups.
@@devinbahm True, but sometimes it's a chain of attacks you can't avoid if you got hit by the first one.
It sucks because the world you have to explore is pretty empty, boring and filled with repetitive enemies.
I beat Margot my first try, I was shocked lol 😂
Bro should have just said this game wasn't made for me
In the words of the old lords of the land’s between “git gud”
Yes it is annoying but you could just turn the invasion system off you can literally turn that off I got annoyed with people invading me but I turned it off
Be fair: only on pc and through a mod, because the majority of people can't deal with the game alone or with invasions even when cooping.
And don't start about "ER being a coop game" because i play since DS1 and i know the systems of these games.
Annoyed by invasions? Just play alone (ER only) or more simply play offline, and you're gold.
Having the cake and eating it too isn't legit in the slightest. 😏
@alessandrobaggi6129 dude that's what I just said lol are you talking just to hear yourself talk 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@alessandrobaggi6129 I'm obviously playing offline
@@alessandrobaggi6129 no s*** Sherlock I'm playing offline Captain obvious already I said in my post that I turned that off what did you not understand 🤷
Honestly i kinda got sick of pvp in souls games. Specially when the open world nature of Elden Ring makes it easier for people with obnoxious and overpowered for their level builds to invade people. My friend and i got invaded So much on release week by people with low level cheese builds at the time. Made it a really irritating experience. I say this as someone who has played through every one of from's soul style games to the end beside sekiro(i am gsrbage at parrying), warts and all. Still beat Elden Ring as a Team but the invasions really ruined it for us specifically. A toggle would of been appreciated. And no, 'playing solo or offline' isnt a toggle. Its a requirement if you dont like other people wasting your time.
There are some bad boss designs in elden ring (fire giant, godskin duo), and the late game is nonsense, but up to the city around the base of the erdtree the game is great! Bosses/enemies that do physics-breaking-ish fakeouts to make you dodge too early are BS tho. I still play DS1 because it truly feels fair. I gave up on elden ring because it stopped feeling fair.
Skill issue
You are a Nobody in this land of superpowered beings.
What late game boss is bs to you? Maliketh has low health and slow attacks, Godfrey telegraphs his moves at a reasonable pace, and the final boss attacks with holy (which is one of the easiest elements to resist). I also disagree with the fake-out argument, Malenia has 3 variants of a double-slash attack and paying attention to her movements will reward you with different punishes.
I be honest I suck at dark souls and elden ring. I still like the games
I used a guide to find the evergrol boss wirht the flame of the fell god inc. that's it.
I used guides multiple times, especially to get specific weapons and to follow the stories of certain NPCs I was interested in.
I don't remember what it was or if it was even real, but it was a press conference of designing a game to allow the lowest common denominator to play and was using DSP as their example...
It sounded a lot like this guy...
You don't even have to explore the game guides you at all the checkpoints
It always amuses me that triple A gamers get offended by games that don’t adhere to the “modern standards”. Signalis would make this guy lose his mind because it’s a true survival horror experience. Atelier Sophie The Alchemist of of the Mysterious Book is a game that would trigger this guy too, after all Alchemy and turn based combat are essential to completing the game. TLDR indie and double A games are better, and 97% of triple A games are inferior.
I played every souls religiously, Elden Ring didn't really hit me in the same places, I think I simply prefer the more structured world design instead of a full on sandbox, but I still played it through once and enjoyed myself decently enough and never really got lost. This guy seems like the typical Ubisoft troglodyte that needs 8 different pointers where to go. My sense of direction is dog bollocks and ER still railroaded my dumbass pretty seamlessly.
And difficulty? Please, ER is the easiest game in the franchise. You can reliably just go with the heaviest chungass armor+shield and the biggest stick and just spam, spam, spam and 9 out of 10 times you'll win.
So this guy:
Doesn't want to explore
Doesn't want to fight
Doesn't want to level
Doesn't want to think
So, what in the godsh*te does he want to do? Play Sims?
The dude never had to think for his self. Sad. Life is gonna be harder than maleketh at 20 vigor.
Yo a 4 am upload less gooo

I have a few complaints about the dlc but other then that I find the game to be a near master piece. My issues with the dlc are mainly 3 things, the first is the ending, the last boss was amazing but story wise I wish there was something more, felt kind of like a nothing ending, the second thing was something I found odd, Miquella abandoned everything to save his sister who was very loyal to him, I felt like he 100% no longer cared for her in the dlc and that change felt real odd to me and the last one, I feel like they missed a great opportunity to have an extra bit if you did the frenzied flame ending, would have been neat if they fit a Melina fight in there somewhere.
He sounds like a Bethesda kinda guy
you can get the gold pickled fowl foot recipe in limgrave and once you beat the first boss you can get access toa secret area that can get you a lot of runes
Me pausing every 5 seconds to see if I have undertale running
its defenitely mid but that ain't why
still on my first play throu, on the DLC, 160+ hours in.. and i guess I spent like 5 hours grinding in the birbs place underground just to have the playstile i like, after all of tha tgrinding is been a blast exploring, roleplaying and enjoying the epic battles... if youre not into exploring, which is literaly the point of THIS GAME, dont bother and go back to your Dooms and duke nukems ( and i know even those have exploration to do but dont tell him that, he'll have an aneurism)
I wish I could run it, but damn do people who are given the opportunity complain about the stupidest of things.
I believe that exploration can be quite tedious, Halo Infinite was quite boring for me. Tons of exploration, no real big reward....Witcher 3 is great ,but the map is quite big...Elden Ring is just the right kind of big, if the map were bigger, it would have deterred me from even getting it!
I think Elden Ring hiding the size of the map originally was huge for people continuing to play the game
look at that, a scientific breakthrough! osmium is no longer the densest known material
But Elden Ring does suck. That is, as long as you don't open the game.
i swear people like this are trying not to find thing to do in elden ring
5:50 this was my 1st "souls" game. Not my 1st tine playing video games
I beat eldenring in 4 days.... i didn't know that you could level up , i started with first equipment then keep going
>Reused enemies as a flaw
Bruh
I have many issues of the game and none of them is this guy’s problem.
This is my forth from software game, with Bloodborne being my favorite. In saying that i like exploration, but in my opinion the map in elden ring is way too big and a lot of the map is empty. I like exploring as much as the next guy but i dont like when you find some secret path that doesn't seem to go anywhere important
Expose guy on internet, tell people to leave him alone
It is kinda big and empty to what I expected being a long soulsborne fan.
This dude is the epitome of the typical yearly NBA and CoD buyer or UBIslop enjoyer.
You dont need all damn Dungeons man, hell i even rush to Margit first and snack those big Runes.... my goodness for a start up its okay or if you want specific items /weapons
Three years you should have beaten this game like fifty times
Whats funny is hes complaining about needing high stats for op shit when said shit is usually found in mid- late game areas.
The only reason elden ring sucks.. is because it has an ending.. i want more dlc dammit 😢
You don't necessarily need to explore a lot in elden ring to get far honestly, I made it to I believe the second to last boss by mostly just spending hours farming, say 75% of the time because I personally felt that exploring was very unrewarding and not worth my time. I never finished the game because I didn't like it in the end, it was too restricting and unrewarding for my liking but I guess because that's coming from someone who prefers the earlier games in the series(demon's souls and whatnot) and I don't know but when I do explore in games I want to find stuff that'll make me want to explore more but just getting ashes of war, spirit ashes, and mushrooms over and over again just killed my interest in doing so. Not saying it's a bad game, just saying that if I did want to play a souls game I'd just rather play the others, so yes it wasn't for me.
You don't want to collect random things?
Don't.
Play the game on a harder difficulty.
Collecting is for casuals.
I collect everything for a reason.
Performance issues? Could someone elaborate because on PC and xbox I've not noticed any. Genuinely just curious, not trying to start something.
mainly talking about shadow of the erdtree bosses causing stutters and freezes
On release there were some frame issues.
I'll give you 3 examples from the DLC. So, I'm on PC. The area where you enter the DLC, after beating Mohg... it was stuttering, with low FPS. I was honestly worried I might not be able to finish the DLC because of stuff like that. Then, during the final boss fight, again I had frames drop. And another issue with frames was when I entered the castle where Messmer was, coming from the other side, from Manus Metyr... again, frames were dropping significantly. I'm talking maybe 10-20 FPS. But it never got to being unplayable or impossible to finish. Still, it's risky for a game where quick reactions are necessary.
@octavianpopescu4776 ill be honest I only played the base game on PC so I'll take your guyses word on it. On PC I mainly just play with the carian combo warriors mod. I personally didn't notice any stutters on xbox, not saying they weren't there, but thank you all for letting me know!😁
This guy has skill issue, but id hardly call horse butt loading screen over empty land to copy paste catacombs "exploration". Honestly fs couldve just connected all the legacy dungeons like ds1 with a little bit of inbetween for transitions and nothing of value would be lost. Although, with the amount of people that went to catacombs first and gave up, I doubt we'd see a lack of takes like this lmao
He I don’t play Elden ring that much what does “fat rolling” mean

Longer video? It's not even 13 hours long

They... They QUITE LITERALLY do though. HOW ARE YOU THAT DUMB. WHAT? This dude blows my fucking mind.
Sounds like Malkimum.
I mean why would you explore? To fight a copy paste boss at the end of a copy paste dungeon full of the same copy paste enemies and copy paste level design / puzzle, just to get a casul summon as reward and a metric ton of resources that serve no purpose since i craft the same consumable during all the playthrough anyway.
Didn't watch the video entirely but man you just sound so condescending for no reason pls stfu his criticism is based and elden ring second to worst fromsoft imo 😂😂😂 (i finished the game (and all optionals))
