- Elden Ring is the most influential game of the last decade and is considered as one of the greatest ever made. For me its a flawed masterpiece and in this video I go over why I think this.

The dopamine hit from killing that hardass boss really gets you hooked :D
An unmatched feeling🤣
I can definitely see why people have issues with repeat bosses but i never shared that opinion because it was a chance to rematch them with new gear which i find pretty interesting (aside from the godskins, they just suck to fight), I also loved my second playthrough on ng+ for the same reason.
I wish there was a feature that once you defeat a boss you can just go back and fight them without entering ng+ or like a separate mode
@@M1zzyMaz yeah me too sekiro definitely got that right
I legit didn't know you could summon Torrent during the Elden Beast fight. lol Still been hoofin it all this time.
They only changed it recently 😅 makes it easier and feels like that’s how you’re supposed to fight him
There's some issues with the game, but consider them more as 'not good'/poorly realised than bad - the amount of content provided simply justifies minor inconveniences. Despite game being huge as it is, studio managed to maintain pace of game with finely-tuned boss difficulty where bosses act as actual skill/build check, demanding player to refine their character to proceed and allowing the next boss to be even more challenging. Later bosses have short windows for attack for balance in my opinion - players at this point can be extremely strong and focused such that nerfing the bosses would make the PvE experience unexciting, honestly.
Personally, I was a little heartbroken by how they did the multiplayer, making it completely optional - Elden Ring players will never know the invader panic in the same way as Dark Souls enjoyers.. though even this is a reasonable design choice and difficult to consider irredemable. That is the story of Ring - hard choices made and sacrifices in design of a particular area of the game, to create a extremely specific & ultimately rewarding experience.
The issues are easily forgotten about like you say, because of the sheer amount of content and depth offered to the player. I never found my self massively agitated by something I didn’t like, it was just something that I thought maybe could’ve been done better.
its just a masterpiece and to discredit it gives power to studios like Activision and Blizzard to continue their micro transaction saga. we deserver better games.
I wasn’t discrediting it, just pointing out some things that I didn’t really enjoy as first time player
Don't get me wrong, I love the game, I am on my second playtrough and still having fun. But I don't understand people calling the game "a masterpiece", "best open world game ever", "best rpg ever". Everyone says that from the start of the game you can play however you like and enjoy the game....yes if you want to miss all the side quests and items and everything. The quests design is just bad and useless. You have to go to places in an exact order and talk to npcs in a specific order and get items in specific order or you will never finish the quest. An open world game where quest npcs teleport to random locations without and clue and you are supposed to find them but if you kill someone or progress too far you fail their entire quest? You need to find a sorcerer, and that's the whole info you have and you are supposed to go to a specific location and kill a specific enemie and hit a specific rock that reveals a passage so you can progress? Cmon, that's just bad. Having quests that make sense is not "holding hands for the player" it's good gameplay. To enjoy the full game you need a second monitor with guides so you can do everything in the exact specific order and nit screw your quests, not really a masterpiece experience in my opinion but I am just a casual player, what do I know :D
I do agree with what you’re saying and I do wish a lot of these things were made a lot more clearer as the side quests are really good just like you said hard to actually finish them and follow
no, you're wrong first I'm a fan of the game but they made Mastaik in-game big mistake first there is no choice in the game every single questline ends badly we as players don't have a choice to save anyone or let him die and after the end game all npc die you become eldern lord of noting wtf this that and second time you want to finish the game again all same no chose all character end like before so pointless to plays game again I'm after killing all boss I not feel to play games again but if they start to add some questline in a story you can save other npc or let die you plays it game 10 times more to see what happened so Elden ring not flawed masterpiece they done purely in give players chosen in the storyline I give game for players chose 2 as 10 for character design I give them 8 as 10 in fight styl 9 as 10 maps design 10 as 10 enemy design 10 as 10 but questline 1 as 10 because there is no chose
Elden ring must be your first fromsoftware game lol
@@man____moth6468 I'm telling the truth I play Eldern Ring and I'm 36 years old I have played games for more than 28 years elden ring's big problem is that there is no choice for the players in any questline end game you become elder lord noting everybody in game care die this bs everyone can see that if you do not see it you're blind to true this is your problem
I have 450 hours on this. 200 on Dark souls 3 and roughly 30 on Sekiro. maybe 10 on bloodborne (fps was ass couldn't play it but its one of the best) and I can tell you now. Whoever calls Elden Ring overrated are 100% spiderman fans.
You would have to be either a fan of that game or lobotomised to even consider Elden Ring overrated. It's one of the first real games we have had in the last few years that respects our time and intelligence and it doesn't hold our hands or have 20 minute cutscenes every 10 mins (basically every sony exclusive) for £50 you get a one of a kind game with 0 microtransactions.
It is easily the best open world game ever created and probably the best game in the last decade. if you was confused as to why this game won game of the year and over 100 awards and wondering why basically everyone praises it. the only way for you to truly know, is if you play it yourself. Words cannot do this game justice.
It is also in my top 3 games of all time. easily
also a bonus. top 3 video game OST's of all time too
I’m pretty sure people who call this game overrated also call dark souls 2 a great game or they’re just doing it to be edgy😂 this is a game that could actually be considered a AAAA title not skull and bones.
This game absolutely deserves all the praise it received and the DLC has lived up to the expectations and in many way surpassed them
@@M1zzyMaz DLC is kicking my ass i wont lie 💀
@@M1zzyMaz Oi Dark Souls 2 is a great game in its own right xD
@@Kazaonyt is that not what you want? Are you not entertained? :P
@@gubradnev6817 it's got a few decent things going for it but its got too many shit things that i just can't overlook lol
