MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A SOULS GAME | Elden Ring | 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- I tried Elden Ring for the first time and here is what happened...
I am shook to the core. I have never played a Dark Souls game before so this will definitively take some getting used to.
Elden Ring Game Description:
Elden Ring is a 2022 action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It was directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki with worldbuilding provided by fantasy writer George R. R. Martin.
THE NEW FANTASY ACTION RPG. Rise, Tarnished, and be guided by grace to brandish the power of the Elden Ring and become an Elden Lord in the Lands Between.
This is a challenging experience that I am interested in continuing when I get the chance.
Maybe one day we will become the Elden Lord (and obtain maidens)!

"this reminds me of skyrim" i know this play through gonna be great
LMAOOO boy am i in for a ride
😂
Said someone who hasn't even finished a mario game.
:D
the dark souls of skyrim
"why did that give me chills I don't even know what that means yet, dude" lmao that got me good
BAHAHA yes. I love watching these videos back and hearing all the random comments I made when faced with stress (AKA the entire episode)
I had the exact same feeling when i started elden ring.
Congratulations on your first "Souls-like" experience. These games honestly changed the way I played video games!
Thank you!! I am really excited to keep playing through it and experiencing the pain of learning it. Been really busy with school so it's been hard to set aside the time since it requires focus LOL
Thank you for sharing the experience :) I'll admit I was screaming at my screen: "Lock on to the enemy!! Use your magic!!"
Thank you so much for being a part of the experience
The genuine confusion as to why it would respawn enemies had me crackin up.
Still struggling with people showing up after I defeat them and wishing they stayed ded LOL
@@NoctisNexus
I mean see it from the bright side, if they disappeared forever you wouldn't be able to farm runes
the fact that you didn't immediately look up at the tree or the scenery when going outside is a bit triggering lol
"no that's my rock get away!" "Aw goodbye rock 😟" - this is gonna be epic.
i miss my rock tbh
“Why did that give me chills” 11 minutes in and already a Souls lover
it's genuinely SUCH a neat experience!!!
The level of anxiety I had watching this video... it's crazy. All because you wouldn't aim your camera towards the sky... basically just missing out on the beautiful erdtree. Hahahhaa.
Really fun video... this is going to be a great series!!!
Bahaha I am so sorry for the anxiety!!! I just released my “Second First Try” since this was a year ago and I highly recommend the watch because I think I cured some of those points of anxiety LOL
@@NoctisNexus will doooo.... Let's gooo!!!
This game is a fantastic entry point into the series. The way it allows you to explore and learn at your own pace provides a lot of freedom to play your own way that previous entries were more rigid on.
It was my first souls game too and now I have upwards of 1200 hours logged
Not really. It is more open yes but the difficulty IS really unbalanced in this game. The first three boss are very easy but From geant of fire the game becomes very hard. Maliketh, Hoarah Lou, Elden beast, Placidusax are very hard and Malenia is considered as the hardest boss of all fromsoftware's games. And i Say that i played all From Software's games .
For a New player i recommend Dark souls 3. It is Closer than ER but Boss are not very difficult and some hard boss are in DLCs
nah i like fighting big enenmies , they are the easiest for me. Maliketh tho , he is a fucking wall @@maitreernestin3957
1200!!! This makes me struggling so hard in my first 2 hours feel silly LOL
Just for future reference, what makes Malenia such a profoundly difficult boss?
@@NoctisNexus She breaks a lot of the pre-established combat rules you are taught through prior bosses. She is unfair, but accepting that unfairness shifts the paradigm from one of knowledge-based gameplay to one of instinct-based gameplay. Good luck in your attempts!
After new game coming out and wrecking the tree sentinal was one of the most cathartic gaming experiences I have had in my life.
I need to actually play through this game for this specific feeling
i kept screaming "USE TARGET LOCK" at the screen in the beginning.
i love seeing new players ignore the tutorial messages and then be bewildered whn they find out the game DOES NOT hold your hand after that ever again. the confusion and terror till the realization sets in is like crack haha
This game requires, among other things, awareness and patience. Emphasis on the patience. Not only that, but it requires experience. Experience gained through fighting Zoo animals, dragons, and even Canadians, all to squeeze out the narrowest of victories.
Bahahah yes! I actually just published my first video back again playing after a year and I think I genuinely improved a lot from this experience!! Still have a LOT to learn but definitely feel way more aware and patient!! :D
@NoctisNexus You should definitely post a reaction video of Max0r's incorrect summary of elden ring once you finish this game. It is hilarious and surprisingly accurate.
@@generalgrievousproductions She probably wouldn't even have to worry about spoilers, because the story makes no fucking sense (in a good way). I'm on NG+ 4 and i still only have a vague idea of wtf is going on. The real spoilers are seeing the bosses for the first time, which kinda sucks if you see a boss for the first time through a youtube video.
No one ever presses the "Help" button and it's right there.
Precisely. I like to figure out things on my own by trial and error, sometimes a “help” button feels like easy mode.
haha it’s awesome seeing how scary everything is again in the beginning. you’ve got this! your jump attacks have been awesome :) also wanted to let you know that you can lock onto enemies so that your camera will follow them when they move. just push down onto the right toggle stick on your controller :) I hope this helps!
thank you for such kind words!!! :O everything is so terrifying in this game LOL thank you for telling me the button as well, I do really want to record a follow-up to this. From your perspective, would it ruin the series to start episode 1 all over again? It has been almost a year since I recorded episode 2 and I really want to try it from the start, but I don't want people to feel like I am discounting this part of the experience either.
@@NoctisNexus No I don’t think it would ruin the series at all! I think after such a long break it is better to start over :) Can’t wait to watch your journey! If you need anymore advice or help lmk!
@@NoctisNexusit would be a good refresher for you to restart if it’s been awhile since you’ve played. Maybe you can research the starting builds more and pick a different one, unless you enjoyed the one you already had.
I gotta be honest with you@@ExcessOxygen, I don't even know if I enjoyed it or if it would have gone any different LOL. It was a struggle bus from the start regardless. XD
@@alyssajolie Thank you SO much for this
One year late but I was exactly like you when I first started Elden ring, I was soooo lost 😂😂😂
It’s so challenging 🤣😭 I do intend to do a redo!! Thank you for watching
I’m experiencing all this now I just started playing Elden ring 2 days ago which is my first souls game I have played
Omg welcome to Elden Ring!! My redemption video starts the new series since this attempt ended up being a give up on my end
It's refreshing to see someone who seems to legit have no idea about souls games! Very entertaining. I was disappointed to see there were only 2 episodes, but understandable if you just don't have the time anymore. Maybe this changes in your second video, but I think the biggest thing you could easily fix to improve your gameplay so far is just using the lock-on for like 95 percent of enemies. It's pretty hard to hit enemies without using it, especially as a new player.
Thank you SO much for this comment, it brought a smile to my face. Since this video was a year ago I do completely intend on recording the next episode as a "revisit from scratch" and start it from the beginning again. It definitely doesn't change in the second video LOL, it is quite a funny one though if I do say so myself. Very, "a series of unfortunate events" coded. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, and for watching!! AND yes I def intend on locking on moving forward LOL
@@NoctisNexus Hah, sounds good. I've seen a lot of playthroughs and basically no one uses the lock-on right away. The learning curve on the souls games is rough at the beginning. I'm about to watch the second part now. I'll definitely watch a new playthrough whenever you start, though. Personally I'm hoping you still choose Astrologer, as I'm partial to magic, but you know, you do you :)
"it's like assassins creed" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this has me laughing so hard.
i truly believe that if i play it like its assassins creed i will win
That "Mommy?" when first seeing Melina was real af 😩
Text on screen literally tells her what the finger item is for.
"What are we collecting fingers for? Is this a puzzle game?"
Oh boy. One of those.
God... I should've recorded my first playthrough, this game is absolutely insane and so fun. I wish I could get amnesia so I could play this game first time over and over again.
"I wish I could walk and block"
Not sure why you didn't.
Because I was unaware I could 🤣
I just found the channel so im not too sure if you have figured this out already but the classes just determine your starting stats and your starting gear, you can get anything later in the game and use whatever you want to!!
:O I had no idea!!! Thank you for letting me know, I plan to restart soon because I have no idea where I left off and it will feel more organic to just retry so I will keep this in mind!!!
Elden ring is my favorite game of all time good luck and dont give up this game takes alot of learning to git gud. Also if an area is too hard explore somewhere else first. Also try locking on to your opponent when fighting
I’ll definitely have to make sure I do that next time I try!!!!
29:26 ultra instinct kicking in
its classic fromsoftware souls games to do a "roll call" if you will, of prominent figures in the story/lore in the intro. and it always gives me goose bumps. although this is the first "souls" game to utilize 2d images instead of a 3d intro sequence.
Hey that is really neat. Thank you for sharing that info :O
Honestly, it's great seeing new souls players learn the game, and I get it can be quite scary, but imo as soon as you understand that dying a lot is a core mechanic of the game, it becomes less scary. The whole series it's about trial and error, games that claim that cannot be beat and demand you to try beating them, so go do just that! (also beating a boss you struggled for hours is one of the best feelings)
Thank you for this, this was really validating!!!
@@NoctisNexus No worries, also it's against your instincts but dodging into enemies is better at avoiding attacks, rather than dodging away from them since when dodging away, the hitbox of the attack is wider. Just for future playthrough
Effigy statue: Explains simple concept of co-op
Noctis: Hehe brain go brrrrrrr
I can't wait for you to react to Elden Ring lore and just have you head explode from either too much info or too much loose ties and not enough info.
her vibe is so real
As a souls expert, I feel genuine physical pain watching this.
“Pleeeeease, lock on.”
I look forward to watching your other videos.
“I’ll just loot this entire village”
Proceeds to turn away from one of the only two chests in the camp.
“This is already a stressful game”…wait to get to the character creation lol
LMAO yeah I felt that. Everyone is telling me I took to pick a better class next time (oops) 🤣
I was playing with keyboard and got controller tutorial, they like to troll us 😂
This makes me feel so much better lmao 🤣
A real first time souls player? How amazing
Truly real and very much lost LOL
I am maidenless :( Hope you get further than I did!
i will probably always be maidenless LMAO
Am I the only one who raged inside everytime she ignored a tutorial and then was confused? XDDD
Not only does this scream “I’ve never played a souls game before” but after watching for almost 30min i realized it also screams “I’ve never played a video game before” and i immediately asked why anyone would subject themselves to this 😭. But then I realized that this is probably what it was like for me when I first played dark souls 1. So painful to watch but also hilarious
BAHAHA no it is totally okay. I had a lot of people comment that. You just have to remember that all game styles differ and I just have never played this category of game OR any souls like titles before. If you'd like, I actually just published a new video that is my "Redemption" arc first episode, and I truly believe that my gameplay has improved significantly. It covers a lot of the journey of how hard this was for me!
@@NoctisNexus it would be funny if you also had someone trying to teach you how to play. Even trying to get the multiplayer system to function would be hilarious to watch along with having to deal with other players trying to kill you lol
I hate people who get triggered by a Skyrim reference, I’m sorry but if Elden Ring, one of the greatest games ever made being compared to the most sold game, and quite possibly one of the greatest games ever made, it’s not a bad thing
I didn't even know people were getting upset about the comparisons!! I think it is important to have a point of reference for games so that it doesn't feel completely unknown! :)
@@NoctisNexus I agree, I love Skyrim, but I gave up after the 3rd remaster 😂 Elden Ring is my new point of reference for any game I buy.
1st seconde 1st mistake... skipped the menu theme
😮💨
Honestly if I remember correctly I think I had edited it out because back then I used to misunderstand the importance of certain things if I wasn't talking as actively
the only one who didnt look up the Erdtree for the first experience
Lol, this reminds me so much of my first time in ds3
I am SO glad to hear that!!
27:08 "I don't really wanna say hello to that guy...Hello?"
I was terrified to even take a step towards ANYTHING 🤣
@NoctisNexus Really enjoyed the video! I love that first half hour of gameplay where you are figuring out how to not die and also getting blown away by the beauty of it. I'll have to check out more of your stuff!
That really means a lot to me! I try to just experience games how they're meant to be in the fullest way possible. I think a lot of playthrough UA-camrs feel a constant need to be the content themselves, but sometimes it is alright to just allow the game to exist! @@feetofanomad7056
Game sound is too low.
I've definitely made some adjustments in some recordings since this series was started, but whenever I make Episode 3 I will definitely take audio more into account! Thank you for your feedback and for watching!
So strange how long spent in the first room. And so strange how people come in so blind to the game that they don't even know it might behoove them to play offline.
I thought there’s no wrong way of playing this game. Then I watched this video 🙄
You are honestly so real for that!
In this pace she will finish this game in 2030. Have patience
Bahaha honestly!! I actually started the series over again after a year and the first episode is out and the next couple are with my editor and will be out soon :)
@@NoctisNexus Excited to see you play the rest of the game 😉
seems like its your first time experience with a video game
Bahaha no I can assure you I’ve gamed since I was a little kiddo, I’ve just never played a game of this nature before
"Did I break it???" haha.. ;)
Bahaha I was so stressed about everything in the game 🤣
Why do the tutorial if you aren’t gonna read the pop ups? 😭
BAHAHA in all honesty I don’t usually do tutorials so I’m genuinely not used to the UI of those things.
I just cant with people who are like how am I supposed to kill this guy? just after pressing through the games tutorial help.. like literally it was written there how u supposed to kill the guy but u didn't read it at all.. :D and then u ask how can I kill him??? :D :D fuk me.... :D
I totally get this!! This is the first game that I have ever played where I am learning (mainly from comments) that reading the tutorial is actually essential. I feel like most games I have played have been intuitive enough where it's like "here is weapon, smack enemy, win game" and a bit less strategic in terms of "lock on, dodge, press this button, etc" so it is just a learning experience! Thank you for your feedback though
@@NoctisNexus Yea I made the same mistake playing these games. Like "yea yea I know how to play video games" and skip through the tutorials lol
i can tell ur a new gamer since your first instinct wasnt checking settings to change from keyboard to controller
I've been gaming since I was 2 LMAO
I don't have any memories from age like 6 and under. 🤣
I do remember getting my first nes in like 2nd grade or so. I also know i played Atari at my grandparents before that. Skifree and evading the abominable snowman!! 😵🤯
That's totally understandable! I have always had a very active imagination and memory and pretty much remember things from 2 years old; it's not common but it can certainly happen. It's a bit weird though and can be difficult to sift through old times! LOL @@WheresWaldo05
The elden M'lady.
This was painful to watch. You said you wanna jump down for the tutorial yet still act like a child, stubbornly trying to figure things by yourself.
Like people mentioned, patience, and let the tutorial lead you instead of mindlessly pressing buttons.
Playing a Fromsoft game on keyboard... Brave
Im not going to lie, the ignorance is drivinge insane lol
The only complaint that I have, is that the game's recorded sound quality stinks.
I wanna see how she reacts to the pvp
Não tenho ideia do que você está falando. Mas gostei mesmo assim..
Bahaha thank you!
57:13 We'll just loot this entire village : D
57:10 😐
LMAO yeah I was quickly humbled!!
Its driving me crazy you don't rest at the sites of grace to replenish your HP and FP 😂
dog i didnt even know what that meant LOL
@@NoctisNexus I wasn't trying to hate I died like 100 times to the first Dark Souls boss. I didn't know you were suppose to run away from him and stuck for hours fighting the boss with a broken sword that did almost zero damage haha. I can imagine if I was streaming people would be dying too. I hope you pick it up again. It's seriously not as hard as people tell you. If it's too hard then you are probably in the wrong area or are seriously under level. Cheering for you to try it again!
Oh you are SO alright!! I didn't think you were being hateful
Haha I have never seen a playthru of new souls player properly backstabbing, the tutorial does not do a good job of explaining you need to be directly behind enemy (not 5 or 10 ft) and then light attack to go into the backstab animation
NOCTIS!
CLUTCH!
played 600h of this game, watch the starting cinematic for the first time here XD
Honestly it’s an incredible cinematic!!
You seem to innocent for this game😂 its very hard if you new to the series and go in completly blind, maybe watch some beginner videos, i did the same and im sure most ppl did :) (oh i just noticed this video is from a year ago) 😂
BAHAHA yes it is from a year ago, however I do intend to fully create an additional approach in this series. It’s been a wild year of gaming and I think I’m ready to face this.
@@NoctisNexus lets gooo
not a fan.... of breathing.... 🤣
LMAOO
good luck
thank you, I am gonna need it
Just play the dang tutorial
you're pretty funny
hey thanks
It's not a souls game.
Okay!
Elden Ring is not a souls game it’s Elden Ring souls games are DS1 DS2 DS3
Ya you are the only one to ever try and clarify that.
Bahaha, see I definitely get your point, but it is an open world version of the Dark Souls titles by the same creator, so it is essentially a Souls Game. No worries though! Nothing to get upset about!! :)
Sooo.... it looks like you just gave up on the game...........
There is an episode 2! It has been about a year now since I have touched this series, but I am planning on getting back into it. The first 2 episodes were recorded when I was in college still, so I had a lot more time to dedicate to the craft of recording and editing, but I am getting back in the swing of things with series' like Hollow Knight and another surprise dropping soon!
@@NoctisNexus you are just waiting for the DLC to drop, for the full experience 😂
Omg, so I saw that this video has been popping off and I literally googled "elden ring news" and saw that that was a thing LMAO I had no idea there was a DLC, however yes I think I am going to work on this ASAP to get a video up before the DLC :D@@backpug1228
watching this gave me brain damage
Thanks for viewing!
