this video was perfect to solidify my decision to buy the game. i was on the fence between Dragons Dogma 2 or Elden Ring and the way you explained all of this within 8 minutes was amazing. thanks for the vid and useful information
Holy shit dude me too. Highly disappointed. Now I've gotten ER and I can see myself dedicating so much time to it. I left DD2 alone and it will be uninstalled
Saying eldin ring isn't an overall hard game would be lying to someone if they were an average gamer. But you decide how hard it is. Learn from your mistakes, level up, work towards getting a good weapon. Or whine and keep getting one shot by the same enemy
Don’t under sell the story. Fromsoft is easily one of not the best at crafting a story with twists and turns and foreshadowing. Plus the care that went into the lore/world building is just *chefs kiss
Im a straight up Gamer, all my many years of life. Played a million games. I swear to god im not exaggerating here i wish i was , i swear on everything, ive never EVER not one time ever, made it past theee very first SCREEN of a From game. Nevermind getting to the first boss. I literally genuinely cannot get past the first 5 minutes of Any From game. Its the weirdest thing ever. I dont understand it at all. Im playing Black Myth Wukong just fine, love it. Stellar Blade, love it, just fine. ANYTHING by From Soft. I just cannot freaking do it. Its extremely bizarre.
I went to a shop to buy demon souls and all the people I asked what the game abt I was told I wouldn’t be able to beat it. THATS THE REASON WE PLAY SOULSBORNE
I might go back to the game I did buy it on release then just got slapped by every single enemy and was a bit overwhelmed by the game I put like 5 hours into it then just played different games and left it I’ll start fresh this weekend nice video man
I am still on the fence a bit as how I am with all games I ever buy unless there like 10 bucks (god bless steam sales and god bless Devil may Cry) however if I catch the game on sale I will def consider picking it up. 30$ is a bit much on sale but I will just have to see where my money is at when the time comes. Great vid
I was an avid gamer, but looking after two sick people caused so many time restrictions. I ended up dropping out all together. I've got back into it, and Elden Ring looks beautiful and interesting. The difficulty and all the negativity I see online and the "git gud" replies, along with my not what it once was skill level, put me off. This video has pretty much made me think I'll give it a go. Thank you for an honest, straightforward explanation/opinion.
@SomebodyBanThatGuy Yeah, I did. It's definitely beautiful looking. I haven't played as much as I'd like. I struggled at first, especially that Tree sentinel or night cavalry just stomping me. I've managed to beat both, and when I did, it was a great feeling. I have taken out Margit (third time lucky), and I have taken out Godrick. I enjoyed the exploration, I spent ages just doing that tbh. I can see why people find it hard as it is a challenge. I don't think they are levelling up enough or practising battles. I can see why some hate it, but I can also see why some people love it. I've also found certain other games easier through playing it and being more cautious and tactical.
@@Hexx_Iztenze Awesome man, that’s what i loved about it lol being afraid and excited, feeling reward and pain lol I was so sick of all the generic boring games lately
@SomebodyBanThatGuy it was on sale, so I figured why not? Whether I'll ever be able to finish it, I'm not sure, but I'll have fun trying. It's quite fun being terrified of something like a troll and then later getting to a point of "bring it." Lol. I went for the Confessor as I liked the look. Although I've upgraded some stuff since then. It is definitely something different for me. The first day, I was on there too long. Which hasn't happened with games for a long time.
An absolute masterpiece of a game. Hated it at first - so much so that I returned it. Then I gave it another go; I must be missing something, I thought... I'm 110 hours into it and definitely the best game I've ever played. My advice is to stick it out, it's very easy to give up very soo into (as I did) , but once you learn the levelling system, it's more manageable. So much thought and detail has gone into its combat system and the world is just beautiful. Can't praise it enough!
he had em in the first like 2 seconds lol. but yes, these games are timeless, they never get worse and never depreciate. They are art as much as a painting from van gough, and will be seen as masterpeices by future generations.
That’s it I’m buying it fellas, gaming keeps my mental health normal, I’m ready to find another open world game to do fully dive into. Thanks for the video man I’ll return and let yall know my experience
ive never played any game like elden/ souls etc and I can defo say it is worth buying in 2024, i bought it a month or 2 back and have 140+ hours on it, it is really fun plus the dlc is like another game in itself
The only reason why I haven't bought the game yet is because I hate games that force me to turn off because I can't get past the boss or if I get past it I'm just lucky. That to me is wasting money.
Elden Ring is not like that, you’re not really forced to do anything. It’s open world so there are easier zones, dungeons, bosses, etc. where you gain skill, gear, level etc. and many of the main bosses and areas you can actually go around bc it’s open world lol or you can use summons, over-level, etc.
@SomebodyBanThatGuy that sounds comforting, does that mean I can keep leveling up until I will be ready to beat all bosses? Coz im not a Soul game player
@@klqeast Yep! For a balanced "normal" run most people beat the final areas, bosses around 100-150 level. But there's nothing stopping you from rune farming, over-leveling and making it easier. And if you don't feel like rune farming you can buy millions of runes online for a few bucks. After you play it, you'll get comfortable and realize the challenge makes it fun after that.
My reason for not playing. I don't want difficult games. If I had the patience than sure I can do a souls like. But I don't get that many hours to play after work and adulting. So any recommendations on easy, dodge this and hit builds for a beginner in the genre?
This one is one of those so called "stand out" games. You come across one of these play it for a while... And you only realise how great the game truly is by the passing of time, because all the other games you have been playing, could not even come close. Elden Ring is definitely one of the best games ever made, period.
@@LUUWILLYou should get it, it’s one of the best games ever made but you have to properly play it, explore, look up guides if you want, build your character, some new players fall into the trap of rushing the main bosses and than obviously it’s too hard. i never played skyrim for example, and so i feel like i missed out, it’s too dated now. Elden Ring will be one of those games you dont want to miss out on
I just finished black myth wukong, is it any better than that ? Also I hated witcher 3 gameplay..I stopped playing it after few hours..is it same combat like witcher 3? Or like ghost of Tsushima?
Bro, I torrent this game and I am atleast 1/4 into it. Now, I am thinking this game is really good and trying to decide if I should buy it. Thanks for going straight at it.
@@Yesnomaybeso1001 Still in love with it, so much to do and explore bro real talk. Already got me a strong weapon mowing down most enemies but still have the balance of a challenge 😁 the map is super diverse, grind doesn't feel too overwhelming, at least for me. Worth it.
this is late but still im going to be honest. If you play games like monster hunter world and actually got far in the game with alatreon and harder bosses. Monster hunter world is a lot harder than elden ring in general. So if you want a challenge it would be weird for most bosses. If you just want to enjoy the game, yeah, you will like it, its not the same feeling but the combat feels similar and you can enjoy it a lot
I've been on a soulslike kick the past few months: Lies of P, Remnant 2, Lords Of The Fallen (the new one), and Code Vein. I just recently started Bloodborne. It was the first FS game I tried a few years ago, and couldn't get into it at the time. Lies of P is what made me love this style of game, but I need to not disregard the OG souls games. So... Bloodborne it is. I've been on the fence about Elden Ring, though. The open world thing just seems more overwhelming than the combat. I like the more linear approach. However... I can't not scratch this itch. But do I buy it list price or wait for a sale? Is it really worth the $65? Decisions decisions...
i just finished ff7 rebirth, and i never heard of elden ring until someone mentioned it today in reddit for ff7 rebirth. is it better than ff7 rebirth?
Never played elden ring or a soul born, is it hard to get into the community? I've only ever played deepwoken that is similar, it's a party dodge based perms wipe build souls like game
Actually quite the opposite the community from what I’ve seen is always supportive. Just one or two people that complain about people using summons but who cares, play how you want to play :D
Elden ring couldve cut the game by like 50 hours if they dkdnt make it the grind tough itd a 100 hour game but 50 of tjose hours are jsut you gling back to the same places to farm xp
Yes, understanding it’s not a Boss Rush game, it’s an open world game. Kind of think of it like an MMO, there are easy zones where you go explore kill stuff level up etc. than get stronger and go back to harder bosses. You can use summons, you can summon other players, you can rune farm and just over-level. There are also build guides on youtube. One big advice I’d give is instead of wandering around as a noob not knowing what to do or what you’re missing. Pull up a guide and mark the main locations, dungeons, caves, catacombs, etc. on the mini map of a zone and just go to those, it takes like 10 mins before you play and makes you find cool stuff in less time and progress faster.
I think the lore and the story is really epic, agreed it's not straight forward. But if you dig deep, the story is really good , almost like GOT on steroids
Apparently in order to play it you gotta buy the first elden ring base game and complete it fully 😅 I almost did the same mistake thankfully I always cautious
Is this game in any way where if you suck, you can at least grind enemy to get xp and stuff? That’s kinda what I did in Returnal. I was put off by difficulty but as it was on ps extra, I tried it and absolutely loved it. Yes, I had to farm ether? And when I got about 20 odd , I’d start a proper run. Tempted to buy Elden ring with dlc for £55 but I just hate buyers remorse, when sucking at a game and giving up due to frustration.
@@torytego5153they are a lot different, but I mean Elden ring is my favorite game ever so yeah I recommend it, but I don’t know if you’d like it. I’d say just take the risk and play it, if you are okay with difficult combat it will be a blast
You dont even have to have souls experience, millions of people, myself included never played a souls game, or really any “hard” game. Elden Ring is now my favorite game of all time.
So I’ve been wanting to try a souls game for a long time and didn’t wanna waste money on one if I wasn’t gonna like it. I tried blood borne a while ago and didn’t really care for it but I didn’t really put much time into it so idk. Is this a good place to start?
Dude trust me bloodborne (respectively) is not on par with this game kai cenat was even admiring elden ring when he was playing blood borne saying he took it's gameplay for granted you'll love this game
@@greatgiovahny8885 yeah I bought the game not long after I commented and I’ve been having a great time with it. I’m considering giving bloodborne another shot
My first game for the ps5 was Hogwarts Legacy. (I did testing for this game back in 2019 so it’s special to me) and I’ve been wondering what to buy next. Elden Ring it is.
One of the best games of all time and i haven,t beat it yet almost ready for the dlc this game isn,t that hard you can almost cheese every boss if you want i am level 184 but i am still getting my ass kicked i love this game some much
Sorry I wasted my money on this game and the DLC. This is the most frustrating game I've ever played. All I do is die constantly. I've lost countless levels worth of runes because I died on the way back to collect them. There is NO quest log which makes it near impossible to follow any of the quest lines. I'm not asking for the map to be littered with quest markers. I'd just like to be able to read what the last NPC told me I need to do within the quest line. I could go on and on about what I dislike about Elden ring, but I'll run out of space to type everything. I wasted 274 hours playing this game. After taking thousands of deaths, I'm done with it.

Bro I used all of my money to get Elden ring shadow of the erdteee and I don’t see it in my games😭
Apparently in order to play it you gotta buy the first elden ring base game and complete it fully 😅 I almost did the same mistake thankfully I always cautious
Is this game in any way where if you suck, you can at least grind enemy to get xp and stuff?
That’s kinda what I did in Returnal.
I was put off by difficulty but as it was on ps extra, I tried it and absolutely loved it.
Yes, I had to farm ether? And when I got about 20 odd , I’d start a proper run.
Tempted to buy Elden ring with dlc for £55 but I just hate buyers remorse, when sucking at a game and giving up due to frustration.
Dw you’ll like it, and yes u can grind levels. Look up a guide I recommend fornatron
Well that was a fast answer 😂😂
Since I really enjoyed playing Hollow Knight do y'all think I would like Elden Ring? Or are they completely different games?
ik Hollow Knight isn't fully souls like
@@torytego5153they are a lot different, but I mean Elden ring is my favorite game ever so yeah I recommend it, but I don’t know if you’d like it. I’d say just take the risk and play it, if you are okay with difficult combat it will be a blast
You dont even have to have souls experience, millions of people, myself included never played a souls game, or really any “hard” game. Elden Ring is now my favorite game of all time.
@@SomebodyBanThatGuyBro I love it. I’ve played it for around two months and it’s amazing, 160 hours
@@torytego5153 Awesome! Just finished a 100% playthrough and took me like 120 hours lol did you get the DLC?
So I’ve been wanting to try a souls game for a long time and didn’t wanna waste money on one if I wasn’t gonna like it. I tried blood borne a while ago and didn’t really care for it but I didn’t really put much time into it so idk. Is this a good place to start?
Dude trust me bloodborne (respectively) is not on par with this game kai cenat was even admiring elden ring when he was playing blood borne saying he took it's gameplay for granted you'll love this game
@@greatgiovahny8885 yeah I bought the game not long after I commented and I’ve been having a great time with it. I’m considering giving bloodborne another shot
“Yes you should”
Alright you twisted my arm 😂 now I don’t need to watch the last 8 minutes and 11 seconds
My first game for the ps5 was Hogwarts Legacy. (I did testing for this game back in 2019 so it’s special to me) and I’ve been wondering what to buy next. Elden Ring it is.
i am going to try and get it
One of the best games of all time and i haven,t beat it yet almost ready for the dlc this game isn,t that hard you can almost cheese every boss if you want i am level 184 but i am still getting my ass kicked i love this game some much
Sorry I wasted my money on this game and the DLC. This is the most frustrating game I've ever played. All I do is die constantly. I've lost countless levels worth of runes because I died on the way back to collect them. There is NO quest log which makes it near impossible to follow any of the quest lines. I'm not asking for the map to be littered with quest markers. I'd just like to be able to read what the last NPC told me I need to do within the quest line. I could go on and on about what I dislike about Elden ring, but I'll run out of space to type everything. I wasted 274 hours playing this game. After taking thousands of deaths, I'm done with it.
Question for ya mate, do you follow a script, while recording?
@@YaLadMitch I used too but I found it to effect my tone making the video kinda boring, like to kinda let my thoughts flow naturally now :)
You can buy the game in 2029 and it is still the best game ever
I think you convinced me sir
Have fun… this game is terrible to its core.
@@docrock3234bro why 😂 im planning on buying it
@@docrock3234 get gud
How is this compared to Diablo 4? Any similarities? I love Diablo 4 lol
what is the game about??
From a person who has played and got the platinum on sekiro should I buy this game? bc sekiro is my first and only souls game I have played
Yes, sekiro was also my first, then I played elden ring, then I wanted MORE and played every souls game in a month lol
