@@PixelShaun Bloodborne is probably my favourite game of all time, it's a truly once in a lifetime experience. It's harder than Elden Ring, but the difficulty still feels fair, and I think some of the unique mechanics really raise it to another level above the other souls games.
Judging from your map at the start, you got a long way to go still in Elden Ring. And I really don't recommend jumping between titles mid-playthrough, especially when you're playing Elden Ring (because it has a very different button layout due to the wider variety of mechanics in it) I would recommend Dark Soul's Remastered though, it has a much slower gameplay formula to the other Souls games so it can be a lot easier to get from the middle of the game to the end once you're used to it. (It has the least build-freedom of the core series though) Oh and since you mentioned it, the reason having a normal gaming pause function would break the game, is partially because of how the online functionality works, but also because being able to change gear/organize inventory in any of the Souls game would allow you to do very powerful things that high skill PvP players do. (Like using a very light and fast target shield/parry dagger with a ring/talisman that buffs dodging and defenses, until you land a parry and then use a pause menu to swap in a giant 2 handed weapon and damage boosting rings/talismans to suddenly do a huge critical hit with a weapon that puts you in heavy equip burden. The menu explanation pause I didn't even know existed to be fair, so even I learned something from your video which is another cool aspect of Elden Ring, always something to discover.
Considering you have a PSX in the background, you may want to consider King's Field 2 (released abroad as just King's Field). It is Miyazaki's personal favorite game from the studio's catalog. The PSX KF's are very rough, though, so KF4 on PS2 is usually recommended above them. Otherwise, start from Demon's Souls and work your way through the proper FromSoft Soulsbornes in release order. For completeness; If you want indie sidescrolling metroidvania/search-action games inspired by Souls, there's Salt & Sanctuary, Tails of Iron, and Ender Lillies. Beyond that, Lies of P seems to be the only major non-FS Souls-like that got a good foothold.
63 Years old woman here. I played elden ring and complete it with platin trophy. It is hard but it is a fair game. If you stuck at a boss, you can go to another area and come back later. If you can´t do it alone, you can go with the ashes. Take your time, explore, you can miss so much if you rush. And last- have fun. You can do it. (sry english is not my language, hope you understand)
Cool! I am a 60 year old grandma and I salute you as I didnt platinum the game, but I did beat Elden Ring the dlc, dsr and ds3 as well as Lies of P. You are never to old to game.
Idk about you guys but for me as a long time player my favorite thing is watching new players or players who previously quit come back and talk about how awesome and maddening of a time they had
Also I don't really care whether or not my pause button changes but I will say because of the way from software has done the pause in souls games I've become pretty good at quick menu swapping in other games as well
Don't rush ANYTHING. Even the fleeting ghost of multiplayer will still be there when you're ready. The kind of bliss I had riding around on Torrent stoned out of my brain and picking flowers will keep like fine wine ;)
This is my second attempt st Elden Ring and I feel like we're having a parallel journey. My first play through I couldn't find dungeons, died all the time and got really frustrated with the game. 3ish months ago I rewatched Viva LA Dirt League's video Get Good, and it inspired me to give Elden Ring another go but to slow down and learn how to play. I choose a Samuri build (and happy I did, it's an amazing class for a first time player) and am dual wielding to victory (never thought power stance would be my thing but I love extra attacks over blocking, I can roll or jump out of the way). I've died a lot, lost more runes than it's worth counting but I've been putting in the work and it's showing. I've watched 10's of hours of get good videos, sparred with enemies I'm bad against, exploring ever inch, and having a blast. This game imo is a masterpiece, the way it makes me feel after defeating a Legendary enemy or fighting colossal enemies, it helps me practice emotional regulation (which is good becuase I can get frustrated and this game helps me work through that by understanding death is a feature not a bug), and this is the most time I've spent gaming in years. I could go on but at some point its rambling. I'm excited to enter the shadow lands in the near future.
Same bro, keep going. I hadn’t played souls games before, and love Elden Ring. Base game took me 150 hours. I’m in the last area of the shadow lands DLC. You have so much to look forward to in the lands between!
Playing a Souls game at launch is a magical thing, seeing the whole community work together to conquer every aspect of the game together. I had the privilege of doing so since Dark Souls 1 and it's been incredible.
I think the reason that the pause button works for Sekiro and not for the other games is that you only have one weapon for Sekiro and few items. Having the game keep going during the menu helps avoid item switching that would break the balance of the game.
@@b_s_productions4405 Yeah but also you could have the pause function only in the options menu. The game ultimately doesn't need it, death is an expected part of the game after all. But they could do a pause that would have no real impact on the game.
Welcome to the community, and good luck on your journey. With regard to the pause button, there are two considerations. First, the game is intended to be online, and encourage you to stay on your toes or seek safety before taking a break. Second, the game has a powerful auto save system such that you can quit out at any time and resume from exactly the same spot. People quick enough at using quit out can prevent dying, even from falling off a cliff. Adding pause would probably make that the norm when your runes are at risk and a fight isn't going your way
Always love seeing new people following the same journey I took with Fromsoft games. Never could get into them and then Elden Ring comes along and shows me the error of my ways.
Happy for you. Small tip for you, you likely have an item called Baldachins Blessing. It very slightly reduces your max hp untill you use it, so use it. Keep exploring and level up vigor. Have fun in the lands between.
Really glad you mentioned the community. Some people are just awful saying people should play a very specific way to play it "correct". I don't like magic builds personally and I joke about it with friends, but at the end of the day if its something that gets you to play any soulsbourne game then there is nothing wrong with that. As classic as the "git gud" meme is, too many people make that their entire personality. Great vid dude.
“Git gud” is what happens when you play and want to do better, die? Try again and learn, DS is as rewarding as it is hard and it took me 2 years to realize that, it’s certainly a very unique experience and can be very polarizing when you only play “classic AAA” games
@@milesthe2tailedfox I adore the entire franchise, but a lot of people instead of offering help just utter "git gud" instead of helping people and use it as an excuse to just be toxic. As someone who has played since demon souls, I don't really need that kind of advice to help other than maybe the odd overly cryptic thing that the series as a whole tends to throw at us the players, but for someone who is newer, I have seen time and time again, people just say that instead offering actual advice. Not everyone has hundred's of hours to spare for games and need that help from others to get through the games
@@milesthe2tailedfox the problem with "git gud" is often how ableist it is. Like, not everyone's hands even work the same way. I like accessibility; it's still "hard". It's still an accomplishment.
@robynpress9534 og souls player here. Git gud, other than the funny meme, is a response to a mindset. That people try to come to FS games and won't adapt or try to learn or take advice. That's when you get told git gud. Change your mindset basically. It's not a difficulty or accessibility issue.
On the pause option, you can just exit to the main menu as the game autosaves and you reload exactly where you were. Most souls players use this to quickly reset the world as enemies do not respawn.
i play souls since kingsfield and i write my questlog by myself. its so fun when you have a "book" with all the quests writen by yourself. but i understand that not anybody likes this.
The most important thing is SPEND YOUR RUNES!!! Deaths feel much less significant when youre only spending a minute or two max to get back to where you were. Using on levels in yourself and weapons is preferred, but even just spending on random crap like throwables, consumables just to make sure that currency will Eventually become of use. The amount used to level is usually a good barometer for if youre losing a significant amount or not.
I wrote off Elden Ring before when I got to Margit. I got past him eventually but I didn’t feel like I skilled past him. It was just luck on that run. So I still didn’t feel confident in my combat ability. I’ve gone back in from the beginning and been practicing combat all the way this time. Not got to Margit yet but I feel like this time I’ve clicked with it.
I don't summon because the summons make the game, for a Soulslike veteran, trivial. But, absolutely, summon away, dude, especially as a first-time player. They help you, of course, but it isn't as if you don't learn or improve with each fight. Eventually, you'll git gud enough thay you yourself will make the choice to try this one fight without summons. Then you'll try it without a shield. Then, without armor. Eventually, you'll catch yourself playing the game with a banana connected to a wire, and you'll be nothing if not proud of that guy who back then decided to jump into the unknown and give the game your best. 💪🏼
Welcome to Elden ring 🙂 You have many hours of amazing gaming ahead of you. And when you are done, give Dark souls another chance. I too gave up on DS3 years ago, only to give it a new chance after Elden ring, and found myself absolutely loving it.
@@PixelShaun I think ER made it possible for many of us to ease into that souls mentality, because it has more room to gradually learn and get better. And that knowledge and mentality carried over when I tried DS again, making the whole experience a lot more manageable and enjoyable. I actually found DS3 to be easier than my first ER run, but that’s probably because ER was my learning game. So odds are, once you can call yourself Elden lord, DS will just be a slightly painful breeze. :) Thank you for the good video, keep them coming!
Dude, after you get through the majority of the game I recommend checking out some of the great loretubers out there like Tarnished Archeologist. They weave together the hundreds of tiny hints of deeper lore we get scattered throughout the game and weave them into mindblowing analyses that will have you looking at every single item, texture, and color with brand new eyes. I played what I thought was quite thoroughly, but TA was over here making realize I missed a whole world of information with things as simple as the layering of architecture in a single room that revealed multiple in-world eras and how they likely built on each other.
One of my gaming buddies is like you were. Gave up early and it saddens me thinking of what he is missing. Greatest gaming experience of my life. 1700 hours for me before I took a break.
Really great video and Im really glad that you mentioned what I specifically appreciate the most about the game How much it lets you jsut do whatever you wanna do and allows you to experience the game however you want to experience it with seemingly infinite options, Ive played it more than 200 hours and Im still finding stuff on new playthroughs that I hadnt seen on my first playthrough
Take your time Enjoy the game Use anything and everything Try everything This game is Meant to be played with freedom Play for an hour killing bosses Or Play for an hour Exploring It doesn't matter its all Unique and Amazing
It's really nice to see more people engaging with the soulslike/soulsborne genre, but specifically where FromSoft is concerned, I would operate under the assumption that every aspect of the structure plays into the overall aesthetic whole. Miyazaki thinks and builds like this. In this regard, the absence of an easy/accessible pause option for the game should be seen as a part of its overall design, the same way death is an actual mechanic of the game and not simply a consequence of failed play. Miyazaki likes to create a feeling alongside the world he builds. It plays into the holistic experience of the player as they move through it. Look deeper my dude and welcome to the grind. Don't you dare go hollow.
Your video was recommended to me, likely because I've been watching a lot of Elden Ring content. In general I watch a lot of Souls content. I enjoy watching skilled players and new players alike. I have a bit of experience. Picked up Bloodborne upon release having never heard of the Souls genre and had no idea what I'd gotten myself into. I think I got as far as beating both Cleric Beast and Father Gascoigne, but never went back. Played a bit of Demon's Souls remake, still haven't gotten far, but enjoying it. I finally picked up Elden Ring this week. I'm not far into it, having fun though. My only complaint so far is there are some critical things I feel should have been explained better or at all. It took me way to long to comprehend how to equip the whistle so I wouldn't need to go to the menu screen to call Torrent. Trying to figure out how to call your horse when in the middle of being attacked so you can regroup is not enjoyable. This is something I'm sure veterans of the genre knew how to do instinctly and was no issue for them. I understand the idea of not holding your hand and see value in it. But for basic mechanics this shouldn't apply. IMHO.
I love this game and wanted to be a ninja with a two hand sword on two daggers. Got my ass handed to me. Then I started using a shield and the game got easy.
You know, it’s very refreshing to hear a perspective that’s so separated from mainstream discourse populated both by veterans and critics of the souls genre. Although I disagree with some points presented, but I think as long one can have a good time at the game, nothing else matters.
Don't rush it, it's like a fine wine, spend as long as you want in the main campaign. And you still got Shadow of the Erdtree afterwards. Welcome to the Souls entourage.
Never understood the desire for a pause button; Dark Souls bonfires being so far apart might warrant one but not Elden Ring. ER has a ton of Graces sites that act as a pause button. If you die because there was an emergency that is more important than the game then it is more important and it doesn't matter if you die.
I love the video but disagree on the pause feature. I think that it's ideal for it to exist but be a bit of a pain to navigate to. It should never feel like safety is a single button press away. A site of grace hits differently when you've been frantically working your way through a questionable area without a moment to gather yourself and you finally catch a glimmer of golden light. I hope that you continue to do these videos throughout your playthrough. Cheers!
@@PixelShaun they do not stack, activating the Baldachins blessing she gives you will give you a temporary buff in poise and once that runs out the 5% health she takes away will come right back. Remember, she did say she absorbs the life force of champions
When I played the first Dark Souls on my Xbox360 it didn't click for me, not at all and I stopped playing after beating the gargoyles. Just started playing something else and forgot about DS1. But the buzz kept building, people making videos and playthroughs and it led to me picking up the game again after a couple of years when the PC port came. Thanks to some modder (who made DSFix) you were able to unlock the frame rate and get it to actually render at 1080p sure made a big difference and DS1 will forever hold a special place in my heart while Elden Ring has become my favorite souls game.
I suggest trying a modern monster hunter after this 👍🏻 Elden ring is like Arch Linux. A wealth of correct information as long as you’re kind, respectful and don’t just ask for the answer.
Spoiler alert.⬇️ You don't need to try make a new game with a new build there is a respec option after you defeat the main boss at raya lucaria which you only need an item called larvar tear to do found in the hidden city of nocrom. I won't tell you how to get there though 😊
Another spoiler alert. There is a wandering noble standing directly east of the Agheel Lake South site of grace in Limegrave that will drop a larval tear. he doesn’t respawn.
lvl your vigor to at least 40 to begin with, and after, look at a build you'll like. Melee without summon can make your game hard, really hard. Caster have it more easy, and with summon, it help a lot.
Top tip. Ruuuuuuuuuun like hell, open things up a bit, go back. Most upgrade materials are the area past where they're needed. Except somber 7. F somber 7.
The game gives you a ton of options to make life easier. Between Weapons, ashes of war, summons, incantations, status effects, and even Gravity. The game is designed to let you choose how to approach it. Take full advantage until you find a playstyle that suits you. Oh and EXPLORE!
Hey, this is the first time I've seen one of your videos and I saw that you play some JRPGs as well(also a Zelda fan here). I can recommend you a series(it's a turn based series so if you are not into that then ignore it). The series is Trails/Kiseki or you can also say Legend of Heroes. Truth be told it's hard to recommend this series because almost every game in the series is a direct sequel of previous(and by direct I mean like continuing the next game right where you left off the previous one) or at least taking place during the same time frame. It's a series with an over arching plot told through multiple games and multiple protagonists and characters whose stories are intertwined with each other. More than half of the plot is completed in like 11-12 games in last 20 years. Also, people call this series the One Piece of gaming.
I think the reason they don't have a pause button is fromsoft hasn't figured out how to turn it off for pvp. Of all the things that they excel at, multiplayer programming is not at the top of the list.
important to note that the menu explanation thing is definitely an exploit/oversight and should not exist, however, that design decision is stupid and the game should definitely pause when you are not summoning real players or being invaded
i do not understand the entire argument with the pause button, one reason i believe its not in the game is because its is supposed to immerse you in the world and make you feel like your in it at all times, nothing will take you out of immersion like a pause button will, it completely cuts out any feelings of fear and panic at moments if you can put a time stop on whatever is happening to think of your next move, that is part of what the entire game is built around your ability to keep your kool in stressful or intense situations so you dont panic when things get ruff another reason is for multiplayer, a pause button just wouldn't work with any co op or or invasion, so if you were taught to rely on pausing during others times you wouldn't be able to keep your kool while in any multiplayer situations where you cant and you would be a worse player because of it i do agree there are some menu options that could be worked on and i know everyone always says there should be a quest log for MPC's and i dont think that would be a bad thing to add, even though i disagree that keeping track of MPC's is that hard but it would be fine to put in glad your enjoying the game though
At this point, tying the lock-on button to the ceter-view button has to be intentional. It's one of the most common complaints, and it persists through the ages from Dark Souls through to Elden Ring.
In regards to the elitists/gatekeepers, it's not even that they have impossible standards, it's that they always argue from the idea that the way they play IS the hardcore respectable way of playing. Meanwhile the actual hardcore way to play would be SL1, no hit, randomiser, ladle as a weapon, no dodge roll and with a shoe on your head, of course if the shoe falls off your head you have to start over - and the people that play like that, are not the gatekeepers. The gatekeepers are just weirdos that want to feel accomplished in playing the game a certain way, but they know it's not actually an achievement, so they have to bring others down to feel better about themselves. It's just pathetic honestly. Like woohoo you completed the game without summons, but you used sword of night and flame, or hoarfrost when it was broken. They need to put a disclaimer on the steam page or something for new players "IGNORE THE WEIRDOS IN THE COMMENT SECTION"
Oh, and if you want another incredible gaming experience, you've probably heard praises sung about ffxiv (Final Fantasy XIV) for years, maybe thought like with ER that it just wasn't gonna be for you. But I beg you to give it a chance. If nothing else, get the free trial; it includes the entire base game and first two expansions and you can play as long as you want with few restrictions (these being intended to slow down bots), so you have nothing to lose. Seriously, if you want a game that respects your time and you as a player, that has an amazing community, thats story will have you in tears with both laughter and heartbreak, that will challenge you with difficult but rewarding content, that will ask you 'Has your journey been worthwhile?' and have it hit you in the heart like an arrow - play Final Fantasy XIV.
Bro Can’t wait until you get to the DLC its better than the base game it’s almost a sequel in this point and you should find a mimic tear it help me in my first play through
Try sekiro next. That’s my favourite fromsoft game. The battle system is nigh on perfect. It demands a lot from u but never expects the impossible it just sets a decently high standard for the player to attain. It never feels impossible even against isshin
I explored half of what you did and I am 30 hours in. Man, I really am a noob. Maybe this game is not for me after all..But I had so much fun in it so far..
Bullshit! This game is for you, it's just up to you if you have the grit to finish. This is my first souls game and I've watched 10's of hours of get good videos, mistakes that make you weak, etc. Slow down combat take your time to learn enemy moves. Don't let people gatekeep how you beat the game, game mechanics are available to help use them. This is my first souls game, first run I hated it tried to hack and slash my way to victory. Second play through I'm 90 hours in and crushing it, still die a lot, but I'm killing enemies and bosses. Don't give practice get better and become Elden Lord. Good luck tarnished
lack of lip sincing?? 😂😂😂😂 tf. I WOULDNT CARE IF THEY MADE ME READ THE DAILOGUE MYSELF IF THEY WOULD ACTUALLY JUST EVOLVE THE GAME DESIGN instead of just making the same exact game 8 times now.
Pause is not present from DS trilogy. It's a design choice. You have to lock in to the game and never brake immersion. Game design over new playersis still better for a game designed for a certain audience.
For the longest time I really despised from soft souls games. I thought they were awkward to play, and unnecessarily artificially difficult. I installed and uninstalled Bloodborne three times, never making it to the first boss. I couldn't beat the first Dark Souls 3 boss... So when Elden Ring was getting praise on release, I scoffed and then played it out of spite, thinking it would still be garbage. And at first I was right, awkward, artificially difficult... and yet... I couldn't stop thinking about the world. Couldn't stop wanting to see what was around the corner... 500+ hours later, it's in my top three games of all time. I went on to 100% all of the soulsborne games, platinum'ing Sekiro, even really loving Lies of P and enjoying beating Lord of the Fallen. I'm hooked on the genre, but addicted to Elden Ring. The DLC brought back the feeling I loved and began to miss. Of exploration and discovery. Of despair and triumph. What a game. Then the lore is fucking awesome, as hidden deep in the environmental story telling that it is.
This game should put WOW on notice. If, and I hope there is an elden ring 2, gut checks blizzard into getting back to their roots of when they started and transformed the gaming industry/
I don't agree that the lack of a pause is bad design, its just not your design. Its like saying Elvis's Jailhouse Rock is bad music because it doesn't include rapping. There is no pause due to the cooperative online element.
Hey Shaun! My name is Rice, and I am the Lead Developer on an exciting new project called “Echo Realms.” We are preparing to introduce this game to the public, and it promises to deliver a unique blend of gameplay elements inspired by Elden Ring/Souls and the extraction looter aspects akin to Tarkov. In "Echo Realms," players will navigate a fractured universe, journeying through forbidden realms to collect valuable items and loot. To heighten the sense of urgency and challenge, players will employ a cloaking device to evade a formidable extra-dimensional entity. We are currently in the early stages of development and are eager to share our progress. If you are interested in exploring our game or featuring it in a video, we would love to collaborate and spread the word about "Echo Realms."
@@Ghorda9 That’s not true. To test this install a Switch emulator and run MM2 kaizo on a higher framerate than on the OG switch so you have a proper comparison. I assure you that it’s not dependent on framerate.
It's the best game ever because it's baby mode. Elden Ring isn't a Souls game, it's basically Skyrim. Go back to Dark Souls 3 if you actually want to play one.
@Kodousinx many reasons. I might get a call on my phone I need to answer, someone might be at the door, might get a delivery, work might call etc. Things in life can and often do pop up while gaming. The alternative is to just die or put the controller down and attend to the other thing while my character just dies on the spot? Just because you don't like the idea, doesn't mean it's bad 😂
I love Elden Ring and could never get into the other souls games. There are areas where I've spent tens of hours exploring and I still stumble into new secrets on my own.
Limgrave is fun. But wait till you get to near end game, and you'll realize how much bullsh*t the makers wants you to just accept. It was hard, just because. The makers put up impossible attacks that you can't dodge, unless you use exploits to somewhat trick the AI. Please post another video once you've beaten the "gold" area (not gonna spoil it for you) and progressed beyond that, and let us know what you feel after completing some parts of that area. I'm nearing the end now, and I'm dropping the game, not becoz I can't finish it (I've beaten most of the bosses in under 10 tries on my 1st ever run, except Radahn with 11 attempts). The end game uses cheap tactics and unbalanced scaling, just to "make it harder". After a while, the game becomes a "waiting" game, instead of "riding the flow" type. Exploration is not fun anymore with repeated content. The makers punishes you for making it that far in the game, and wants you to ultimately fail and feel defeated. Instead of giving you that feeling of satisfaction that you've come so far, they'll just up the "quantity" of things like damage, groups, and combos, and didn't think about the quality of these things. It's like they've thrown just thoughtless designs and attack patterns in the late game enemies, and just let the players figure out themselves. I really hope you can make that video of a review of the game after that area, so we can discuss these design decisions more. Thanks!
@forrest4663 thanks for watching! I've been using a controller but I just didn't go into the settings to change the mapping display to controller settings haha It's now set to controller mapping

Which souls like game should I try next? Always been interested in bloodborne...

Considering you have a PSX in the background, you may want to consider King's Field 2 (released abroad as just King's Field). It is Miyazaki's personal favorite game from the studio's catalog. The PSX KF's are very rough, though, so KF4 on PS2 is usually recommended above them.
Otherwise, start from Demon's Souls and work your way through the proper FromSoft Soulsbornes in release order.
For completeness; If you want indie sidescrolling metroidvania/search-action games inspired by Souls, there's Salt & Sanctuary, Tails of Iron, and Ender Lillies. Beyond that, Lies of P seems to be the only major non-FS Souls-like that got a good foothold.
gotta be DS1
Bloodborne is absolut love. Go for it

9:06 - most skilled fat roller to ever play the game
12:20 Sekiro has a pause button and it never helped in avoiding a death, it only delayed it 💀
I think the pause can cause u to lose as it affects that concentration state u need to be in
@@j0nnyism 100% Pausing caused me to lose my mortal journey on while facing Inner Owl. It was heart wrenching.
I think the reason that the pause button works for Sekiro and not for the other games is that you only have one weapon for Sekiro and few items. Having the game keep going during the menu helps avoid item switching that would break the balance of the game.
@@b_s_productions4405 Yeah but also you could have the pause function only in the options menu. The game ultimately doesn't need it, death is an expected part of the game after all. But they could do a pause that would have no real impact on the game.
Yeah, and I never use during a boss battle because i aways lost the moment, is like loosing focus
Welcome to the community, and good luck on your journey. With regard to the pause button, there are two considerations. First, the game is intended to be online, and encourage you to stay on your toes or seek safety before taking a break. Second, the game has a powerful auto save system such that you can quit out at any time and resume from exactly the same spot. People quick enough at using quit out can prevent dying, even from falling off a cliff. Adding pause would probably make that the norm when your runes are at risk and a fight isn't going your way
Always love seeing new people following the same journey I took with Fromsoft games. Never could get into them and then Elden Ring comes along and shows me the error of my ways.
Happy for you.
Small tip for you, you likely have an item called Baldachins Blessing. It very slightly reduces your max hp untill you use it, so use it. Keep exploring and level up vigor.
Have fun in the lands between.
Really glad you mentioned the community. Some people are just awful saying people should play a very specific way to play it "correct". I don't like magic builds personally and I joke about it with friends, but at the end of the day if its something that gets you to play any soulsbourne game then there is nothing wrong with that. As classic as the "git gud" meme is, too many people make that their entire personality. Great vid dude.
Just for that, i'm doing a magic build next
Thanks man, appreciate it
“Git gud” is what happens when you play and want to do better, die? Try again and learn, DS is as rewarding as it is hard and it took me 2 years to realize that, it’s certainly a very unique experience and can be very polarizing when you only play “classic AAA” games
@@milesthe2tailedfox I adore the entire franchise, but a lot of people instead of offering help just utter "git gud" instead of helping people and use it as an excuse to just be toxic. As someone who has played since demon souls, I don't really need that kind of advice to help other than maybe the odd overly cryptic thing that the series as a whole tends to throw at us the players, but for someone who is newer, I have seen time and time again, people just say that instead offering actual advice. Not everyone has hundred's of hours to spare for games and need that help from others to get through the games
@@milesthe2tailedfox the problem with "git gud" is often how ableist it is.
Like, not everyone's hands even work the same way. I like accessibility; it's still "hard". It's still an accomplishment.
@robynpress9534 og souls player here. Git gud, other than the funny meme, is a response to a mindset. That people try to come to FS games and won't adapt or try to learn or take advice. That's when you get told git gud. Change your mindset basically. It's not a difficulty or accessibility issue.
I LOVE your office backdrop. Not something I saw anybody else mention but I think it deserves some praise
@@cooperjohnson9162 haha thank you!! Really appreciate it!
Welcome fellow Tarnished!
also 6:33 genuinely made me chuckle out loud
Haha glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
On the pause option, you can just exit to the main menu as the game autosaves and you reload exactly where you were. Most souls players use this to quickly reset the world as enemies do not respawn.
i play souls since kingsfield and i write my questlog by myself. its so fun when you have a "book" with all the quests writen by yourself. but i understand that not anybody likes this.
The most important thing is SPEND YOUR RUNES!!! Deaths feel much less significant when youre only spending a minute or two max to get back to where you were. Using on levels in yourself and weapons is preferred, but even just spending on random crap like throwables, consumables just to make sure that currency will Eventually become of use. The amount used to level is usually a good barometer for if youre losing a significant amount or not.
30 hours and you already think it’s the best game? I am so genuinely happy for you to have your absolute mind blown by around 60-80-100 hours ❤
I wrote off Elden Ring before when I got to Margit. I got past him eventually but I didn’t feel like I skilled past him. It was just luck on that run.
So I still didn’t feel confident in my combat ability.
I’ve gone back in from the beginning and been practicing combat all the way this time.
Not got to Margit yet but I feel like this time I’ve clicked with it.
Try using a shield.
glad i stumbled across this video, cant wait to see your journey
I don't summon because the summons make the game, for a Soulslike veteran, trivial.
But, absolutely, summon away, dude, especially as a first-time player. They help you, of course, but it isn't as if you don't learn or improve with each fight.
Eventually, you'll git gud enough thay you yourself will make the choice to try this one fight without summons. Then you'll try it without a shield. Then, without armor. Eventually, you'll catch yourself playing the game with a banana connected to a wire, and you'll be nothing if not proud of that guy who back then decided to jump into the unknown and give the game your best. 💪🏼
ER was my first soulslike and I went in blind.Went STR build and didnt even know Mimic Tears exist up until Im in the endgame lol
Welcome to Elden ring 🙂 You have many hours of amazing gaming ahead of you. And when you are done, give Dark souls another chance. I too gave up on DS3 years ago, only to give it a new chance after Elden ring, and found myself absolutely loving it.
@alicetherabbit6671 oh that's so good to hear you liked ds3 after revisiting! Definitely gonna go back and try it out again
Thanks for watching!
@@PixelShaun I think ER made it possible for many of us to ease into that souls mentality, because it has more room to gradually learn and get better. And that knowledge and mentality carried over when I tried DS again, making the whole experience a lot more manageable and enjoyable. I actually found DS3 to be easier than my first ER run, but that’s probably because ER was my learning game. So odds are, once you can call yourself Elden lord, DS will just be a slightly painful breeze. :)
Thank you for the good video, keep them coming!
Dude, after you get through the majority of the game I recommend checking out some of the great loretubers out there like Tarnished Archeologist. They weave together the hundreds of tiny hints of deeper lore we get scattered throughout the game and weave them into mindblowing analyses that will have you looking at every single item, texture, and color with brand new eyes. I played what I thought was quite thoroughly, but TA was over here making realize I missed a whole world of information with things as simple as the layering of architecture in a single room that revealed multiple in-world eras and how they likely built on each other.
One of my gaming buddies is like you were. Gave up early and it saddens me thinking of what he is missing. Greatest gaming experience of my life. 1700 hours for me before I took a break.
Really great video and Im really glad that you mentioned what I specifically appreciate the most about the game
How much it lets you jsut do whatever you wanna do and allows you to experience the game however you want to experience it with seemingly infinite options, Ive played it more than 200 hours and Im still finding stuff on new playthroughs that I hadnt seen on my first playthrough
Wait till he meets draconic tree sentinel
Haha yeah I Beat him last night after far too many attempts. He was harder for me than a lot of bosses. One attack wiped me out from full health.
Take your time
Enjoy the game
Use anything and everything
Try everything
This game is Meant to be played with freedom
Play for an hour killing bosses
Or
Play for an hour Exploring
It doesn't matter its all Unique and Amazing
It's really nice to see more people engaging with the soulslike/soulsborne genre, but specifically where FromSoft is concerned, I would operate under the assumption that every aspect of the structure plays into the overall aesthetic whole. Miyazaki thinks and builds like this.
In this regard, the absence of an easy/accessible pause option for the game should be seen as a part of its overall design, the same way death is an actual mechanic of the game and not simply a consequence of failed play.
Miyazaki likes to create a feeling alongside the world he builds. It plays into the holistic experience of the player as they move through it.
Look deeper my dude and welcome to the grind.
Don't you dare go hollow.
Your video was recommended to me, likely because I've been watching a lot of Elden Ring content. In general I watch a lot of Souls content. I enjoy watching skilled players and new players alike.
I have a bit of experience. Picked up Bloodborne upon release having never heard of the Souls genre and had no idea what I'd gotten myself into. I think I got as far as beating both Cleric Beast and Father Gascoigne, but never went back. Played a bit of Demon's Souls remake, still haven't gotten far, but enjoying it.
I finally picked up Elden Ring this week. I'm not far into it, having fun though.
My only complaint so far is there are some critical things I feel should have been explained better or at all. It took me way to long to comprehend how to equip the whistle so I wouldn't need to go to the menu screen to call Torrent. Trying to figure out how to call your horse when in the middle of being attacked so you can regroup is not enjoyable. This is something I'm sure veterans of the genre knew how to do instinctly and was no issue for them. I understand the idea of not holding your hand and see value in it. But for basic mechanics this shouldn't apply. IMHO.
Great video! I'd definitely love to see an update later on in your playthrough!
I love this game and wanted to be a ninja with a two hand sword on two daggers. Got my ass handed to me. Then I started using a shield and the game got easy.
You know, it’s very refreshing to hear a perspective that’s so separated from mainstream discourse populated both by veterans and critics of the souls genre.
Although I disagree with some points presented, but I think as long one can have a good time at the game, nothing else matters.
The menu is not meant to be used with a mouse.
Don't rush it, it's like a fine wine, spend as long as you want in the main campaign. And you still got Shadow of the Erdtree afterwards. Welcome to the Souls entourage.
Never understood the desire for a pause button; Dark Souls bonfires being so far apart might warrant one but not Elden Ring. ER has a ton of Graces sites that act as a pause button. If you die because there was an emergency that is more important than the game then it is more important and it doesn't matter if you die.
Nice review. You deserve more subs for sure
Thanks for watching, really appreciate that!
I love the video but disagree on the pause feature. I think that it's ideal for it to exist but be a bit of a pain to navigate to. It should never feel like safety is a single button press away. A site of grace hits differently when you've been frantically working your way through a questionable area without a moment to gather yourself and you finally catch a glimmer of golden light. I hope that you continue to do these videos throughout your playthrough. Cheers!
Just a heads up. The girl you hug at the round table hold is actually a 5% nerf on your character lol
Lmaoo what?! Is there a way to get rid of the buff?
Also do they stack every time you visit her?
@@PixelShaun they do not stack, activating the Baldachins blessing she gives you will give you a temporary buff in poise and once that runs out the 5% health she takes away will come right back. Remember, she did say she absorbs the life force of champions
When I played the first Dark Souls on my Xbox360 it didn't click for me, not at all and I stopped playing after beating the gargoyles. Just started playing something else and forgot about DS1. But the buzz kept building, people making videos and playthroughs and it led to me picking up the game again after a couple of years when the PC port came. Thanks to some modder (who made DSFix) you were able to unlock the frame rate and get it to actually render at 1080p sure made a big difference and DS1 will forever hold a special place in my heart while Elden Ring has become my favorite souls game.
I suggest trying a modern monster hunter after this 👍🏻
Elden ring is like Arch Linux. A wealth of correct information as long as you’re kind, respectful and don’t just ask for the answer.
Spoiler alert.⬇️
You don't need to try make a new game with a new build there is a respec option after you defeat the main boss at raya lucaria which you only need an item called larvar tear to do found in the hidden city of nocrom. I won't tell you how to get there though 😊
Another spoiler alert.
There is a wandering noble standing directly east of the Agheel Lake South site of grace in Limegrave that will drop a larval tear. he doesn’t respawn.
Give it to boc. He deserved it more than I did. He’s such a sweet Demi human. It makes me sad when u learn their story of abuse and enslavement
@@j0nnyism oh hell no💀 just tell him he's beautiful and he will be a happy camper
@@j0nnyism Giving it to Boc is definitely not a good option.
lvl your vigor to at least 40 to begin with, and after, look at a build you'll like. Melee without summon can make your game hard, really hard. Caster have it more easy, and with summon, it help a lot.
1:16 you have no ideea how much content you got left, good luck!
I've got 400 hours in on this game, NG+6, and I honestly don't remember the ladder at 1:54.
The lack of pause is deliberate game design to increase the horror factor.
I don't like souls game but elden ring is different its my favourite game i finished the game in 170 hr base+dlc it one of the best game ever.
Top tip.
Ruuuuuuuuuun like hell, open things up a bit, go back. Most upgrade materials are the area past where they're needed. Except somber 7. F somber 7.
Fuck ghost glovewort 8 i had 5 great ghost glovewort and like 6 ghost glovewort 9s before i found my first 8
Samurai, excellent starting class for a first time.
The game gives you a ton of options to make life easier. Between Weapons, ashes of war, summons, incantations, status effects, and even Gravity. The game is designed to let you choose how to approach it. Take full advantage until you find a playstyle that suits you. Oh and EXPLORE!
Hey, this is the first time I've seen one of your videos and I saw that you play some JRPGs as well(also a Zelda fan here). I can recommend you a series(it's a turn based series so if you are not into that then ignore it). The series is Trails/Kiseki or you can also say Legend of Heroes. Truth be told it's hard to recommend this series because almost every game in the series is a direct sequel of previous(and by direct I mean like continuing the next game right where you left off the previous one) or at least taking place during the same time frame. It's a series with an over arching plot told through multiple games and multiple protagonists and characters whose stories are intertwined with each other. More than half of the plot is completed in like 11-12 games in last 20 years. Also, people call this series the One Piece of gaming.
I disagree with the pause one… I do believe some controls are a bit clunky but pause button will break the momentum completely
no.
I think the reason they don't have a pause button is fromsoft hasn't figured out how to turn it off for pvp. Of all the things that they excel at, multiplayer programming is not at the top of the list.
I envy people exploring Elden Ring for the first time. Just magic. Enjoy!
you 1000% "get it". welcome to the chaos
important to note that the menu explanation thing is definitely an exploit/oversight and should not exist, however, that design decision is stupid and the game should definitely pause when you are not summoning real players or being invaded
i do not understand the entire argument with the pause button, one reason i believe its not in the game is because its is supposed to immerse you in the world and make you feel like your in it at all times, nothing will take you out of immersion like a pause button will, it completely cuts out any feelings of fear and panic at moments if you can put a time stop on whatever is happening to think of your next move, that is part of what the entire game is built around your ability to keep your kool in stressful or intense situations so you dont panic when things get ruff
another reason is for multiplayer, a pause button just wouldn't work with any co op or or invasion, so if you were taught to rely on pausing during others times you wouldn't be able to keep your kool while in any multiplayer situations where you cant and you would be a worse player because of it
i do agree there are some menu options that could be worked on and i know everyone always says there should be a quest log for MPC's and i dont think that would be a bad thing to add, even though i disagree that keeping track of MPC's is that hard but it would be fine to put in
glad your enjoying the game though
At this point, tying the lock-on button to the ceter-view button has to be intentional. It's one of the most common complaints, and it persists through the ages from Dark Souls through to Elden Ring.
Fighting enemies whilst riding Torrent: just dont do it
they could do a pause if online functions is switched of
A Samurai going to Caelid and not getting moonveil? What are you stupid? :D Glad you had fun with this game
In regards to the elitists/gatekeepers, it's not even that they have impossible standards, it's that they always argue from the idea that the way they play IS the hardcore respectable way of playing. Meanwhile the actual hardcore way to play would be SL1, no hit, randomiser, ladle as a weapon, no dodge roll and with a shoe on your head, of course if the shoe falls off your head you have to start over - and the people that play like that, are not the gatekeepers. The gatekeepers are just weirdos that want to feel accomplished in playing the game a certain way, but they know it's not actually an achievement, so they have to bring others down to feel better about themselves. It's just pathetic honestly. Like woohoo you completed the game without summons, but you used sword of night and flame, or hoarfrost when it was broken.
They need to put a disclaimer on the steam page or something for new players "IGNORE THE WEIRDOS IN THE COMMENT SECTION"
Enjoy yourself with the game and take it at your own pace, and prepare yourself to be humbled later on. Also good luck
never seen such a skilled player
Only got this good by watching you play
Oh, and if you want another incredible gaming experience, you've probably heard praises sung about ffxiv (Final Fantasy XIV) for years, maybe thought like with ER that it just wasn't gonna be for you. But I beg you to give it a chance. If nothing else, get the free trial; it includes the entire base game and first two expansions and you can play as long as you want with few restrictions (these being intended to slow down bots), so you have nothing to lose.
Seriously, if you want a game that respects your time and you as a player, that has an amazing community, thats story will have you in tears with both laughter and heartbreak, that will challenge you with difficult but rewarding content, that will ask you 'Has your journey been worthwhile?' and have it hit you in the heart like an arrow - play Final Fantasy XIV.
Pass on the pause button.
I see youve been to Caelid
Bro Can’t wait until you get to the DLC its better than the base game it’s almost a sequel in this point and you should find a mimic tear it help me in my first play through
Try sekiro next. That’s my favourite fromsoft game. The battle system is nigh on perfect. It demands a lot from u but never expects the impossible it just sets a decently high standard for the player to attain. It never feels impossible even against isshin
hope you enjoy the dlc
If no one told you get your hp to 40+ before you get much farther you won’t regret it
I explored half of what you did and I am 30 hours in. Man, I really am a noob. Maybe this game is not for me after all..But I had so much fun in it so far..
Don't compare mate! Take everything at your own pace and enjoy the experience
Play at your own pace. It's about the journey. When you're done with the game there's only this feeling of emptiness.
My brother don’t go hollow. Take that goddamn throne.
Bullshit! This game is for you, it's just up to you if you have the grit to finish. This is my first souls game and I've watched 10's of hours of get good videos, mistakes that make you weak, etc. Slow down combat take your time to learn enemy moves. Don't let people gatekeep how you beat the game, game mechanics are available to help use them.
This is my first souls game, first run I hated it tried to hack and slash my way to victory. Second play through I'm 90 hours in and crushing it, still die a lot, but I'm killing enemies and bosses. Don't give practice get better and become Elden Lord.
Good luck tarnished
My playthrough of the base game was 150 hours lol. You’re fine.
lack of lip sincing?? 😂😂😂😂 tf. I WOULDNT CARE IF THEY MADE ME READ THE DAILOGUE MYSELF IF THEY WOULD ACTUALLY JUST EVOLVE THE GAME DESIGN instead of just making the same exact game 8 times now.
Pause is not present from DS trilogy. It's a design choice. You have to lock in to the game and never brake immersion. Game design over new playersis still better for a game designed for a certain audience.
For the longest time I really despised from soft souls games. I thought they were awkward to play, and unnecessarily artificially difficult. I installed and uninstalled Bloodborne three times, never making it to the first boss. I couldn't beat the first Dark Souls 3 boss...
So when Elden Ring was getting praise on release, I scoffed and then played it out of spite, thinking it would still be garbage. And at first I was right, awkward, artificially difficult... and yet...
I couldn't stop thinking about the world. Couldn't stop wanting to see what was around the corner...
500+ hours later, it's in my top three games of all time. I went on to 100% all of the soulsborne games, platinum'ing Sekiro, even really loving Lies of P and enjoying beating Lord of the Fallen.
I'm hooked on the genre, but addicted to Elden Ring.
The DLC brought back the feeling I loved and began to miss. Of exploration and discovery. Of despair and triumph.
What a game. Then the lore is fucking awesome, as hidden deep in the environmental story telling that it is.
This game should put WOW on notice. If, and I hope there is an elden ring 2, gut checks blizzard into getting back to their roots of when they started and transformed the gaming industry/
did you know that fia's blessing make you weaker by removing 5% of your total hp, you need to remove this asap
dude has like 10 vigor, I don't think it's gonna make much difference :D
I don't agree that the lack of a pause is bad design, its just not your design. Its like saying Elvis's Jailhouse Rock is bad music because it doesn't include rapping.
There is no pause due to the cooperative online element.
you can pause the game via the inventory menu, it'd be no detriment to the game to be able to pause if you're not in co-op/invaded
Imagine crying about a pause button. lol😂
Oh, and the dlc adds a minimum of 60 hours easy.
The game can be hard or easy, it's only depend how you play it.
Welcome!
So 15 seconds in you basically said the title was clickbait
Yeah nah the whole video is clickbait mate. Gotchya
Hey Shaun! My name is Rice, and I am the Lead Developer on an exciting new project called “Echo Realms.” We are preparing to introduce this game to the public, and it promises to deliver a unique blend of gameplay elements inspired by Elden Ring/Souls and the extraction looter aspects akin to Tarkov.
In "Echo Realms," players will navigate a fractured universe, journeying through forbidden realms to collect valuable items and loot. To heighten the sense of urgency and challenge, players will employ a cloaking device to evade a formidable extra-dimensional entity.
We are currently in the early stages of development and are eager to share our progress. If you are interested in exploring our game or featuring it in a video, we would love to collaborate and spread the word about "Echo Realms."
Uhmmmm pause buffering is a thing in many games. I see you have switch games. Try a kaizo MM2 level and pause buffer. It makes it a lot easier
pause buffering works better on lower framerates
@@Ghorda9 That’s not true. To test this install a Switch emulator and run MM2 kaizo on a higher framerate than on the OG switch so you have a proper comparison.
I assure you that it’s not dependent on framerate.
you got my sub!
It's the best game ever because it's baby mode. Elden Ring isn't a Souls game, it's basically Skyrim. Go back to Dark Souls 3 if you actually want to play one.
20hrs dlc, more like 50hrs
Sounds stupid the hell you need a pause button for ? Go to a grace back at round table . Turn off invaders and sit on grace ffs
@Kodousinx many reasons.
I might get a call on my phone I need to answer, someone might be at the door, might get a delivery, work might call etc. Things in life can and often do pop up while gaming. The alternative is to just die or put the controller down and attend to the other thing while my character just dies on the spot?
Just because you don't like the idea, doesn't mean it's bad 😂
Level your vigor up to 60.
I love Elden Ring and could never get into the other souls games. There are areas where I've spent tens of hours exploring and I still stumble into new secrets on my own.
Fromsoft menus are harder than the bosses
good eiting
Limgrave is fun. But wait till you get to near end game, and you'll realize how much bullsh*t the makers wants you to just accept. It was hard, just because. The makers put up impossible attacks that you can't dodge, unless you use exploits to somewhat trick the AI.
Please post another video once you've beaten the "gold" area (not gonna spoil it for you) and progressed beyond that, and let us know what you feel after completing some parts of that area.
I'm nearing the end now, and I'm dropping the game, not becoz I can't finish it (I've beaten most of the bosses in under 10 tries on my 1st ever run, except Radahn with 11 attempts). The end game uses cheap tactics and unbalanced scaling, just to "make it harder". After a while, the game becomes a "waiting" game, instead of "riding the flow" type. Exploration is not fun anymore with repeated content.
The makers punishes you for making it that far in the game, and wants you to ultimately fail and feel defeated. Instead of giving you that feeling of satisfaction that you've come so far, they'll just up the "quantity" of things like damage, groups, and combos, and didn't think about the quality of these things.
It's like they've thrown just thoughtless designs and attack patterns in the late game enemies, and just let the players figure out themselves.
I really hope you can make that video of a review of the game after that area, so we can discuss these design decisions more. Thanks!
The beginning is the best part. I lost interest once I reached the capital.
The lack of direction bored me.
Try using a controller-it’s more intuitive
@forrest4663 thanks for watching! I've been using a controller but I just didn't go into the settings to change the mapping display to controller settings haha
It's now set to controller mapping
Who says its easiest? Great game, gets easy around 75.
Same
The argument against a pause button is 99% about immersion, not difficulty. I think you know that too.
it wouldn't be a good argument though
Next, discover Sekiro
grat review
