I dunno all I hear is fax. NOBODY is trying to proclaim Forbidden West as GOTY even if it ticks all the boxes. Do you think Elden Ring will have visual fidelity or story to match that? It Takes Two only became a GOTY cuz the competition wasn't even that good.
@@connorkenway09 are you asking if the game has a chance to win goty? Of course botw won in 2017 when the story is actual trash unlike fromsoft games that are just very lore heavy and don't tell they're stories like most triple A games at the end of the day the most important thing is gameplay and world design and if elden ring is on the level of bloodborne I'm sure it can be a contender.
I'm sorry..but the game can't really be bad....it's the same exact formula as all of their other games that reviewed well..and just open world added. If you take nothing away from an already high rated game formula..and just add the simplest of things..open world...then seriously.. mathematically..what could go wrong. It's impossible for this game to be bad in any multiverse.
Elden Ring is the reason why I held off on playing Horizon Forbidden West. There was no way I was gonna rush through a game like Horizon Forbidden West... I'm gonna take my time with both of these games and experience them properly...
I would agree if it wasn't for the fact that reviewers that I both enjoy and despise are giving the same 10/10 or 9/10 reviews. People who have always despised the series are now giving it 9s then clearly either from soft has the deepest pockets or the game is simply that good.
I'd say From Software tried to finally make a game that is for everyone but instead of bringing everyone together the core fanbase wants to go to war with everyone not saying this is the best game of all time.
I’ve always been a “chad” lol not sure what it means. Yeah though I been gaming to long to need to watch someone’s review before I decide to get a game or not.
I honestly don’t see how people didn’t see this coming. Like honestly Miyazaki and his team have been releasing bangers after bangers. Just recently Sekiro. Just throw FromSoft their well deserved flowers. I present to you your 2022 GOTY “Elden Ring”!
@@davidd4696 a brotha gots to disagree! I still haven’t played a game with as good of stealth/brutal combat as lou2. The story was alright but everything else was god tier. I can’t speak much to uncharted 4 since I never beat it…
Here comes the damage control. First he gives Watchdogs a 9. Then he hypes up Avengers. Trash. Then he hypes up Dying Light 2. Trash. Downplays Mass Effect for literal years. Downplays Sifu. Downplays Elden Ring. We get it dawg, you got a shit eye test for games. It's all good. Edit: Don't forget he also called Ghost of Tsushima ass after 2 hours of playing it and then came back the next day screaming "dosho" like the biggest fan.
@@FreddySavage3 You know he's punching the air right now. He was so ready to troll on stream and Lord Miyazaki hit him with the Dikembe Mutombo finger wag.
All I know is, I haven't heard anything really negative about Elden Ring. I haven't played a dark souls type game in a minute and I heard that it could be played completely coop. So that has gotten me really interested.
@@Hunterese123 i think a large part of that was because reviewers didn't get the dedicated driver updates for it. also pretty sure fromsoft said the day 1 patch will fix them
Elden ring will be a goty contender for sure no question about it. Also I don’t know how anyone could have doubted this game. The more reviews I read and gameplay videos Ive watched this will for sure go down as one of the best souls game and game this year
Now this type of statement I can respect. Best souls game of all time? Hands down. ONE of the best games of the year and contender for GOTY? Yes. Instead of saying best game of the decade/century/whatever. Maybe best banana of all time but certainly not best fruit 😂
Yes, you are right, and like you, I do enjoy many different games and think many of them fall into the category of 'great'. But you have to give credit where credit is due!! Fromsoftware appears to have hit a homerun!!! And, for the many who have stood behind this game for so long, they have a right to give a solid and loud "I TOLD YOU So". Even you yourself has to admit this, whether you like it or not!!! Much love!!!
LMFAO 🤣 that intro Horizon Forbidden west is a flawed game for sure, but the open world exploration is incredible. The open world makes Elden Ring look elementary in comparison.
Nah. It’s more lush looking and it has a different appeal. Unfortunately it’s more baren and this is coming from a guy who loves Horizon Zero Dawn to death. There’s just literally so much to do and so many small and natural things going on that makes exploring every nook and cranny worth it. Both games are stellar though, but I’d argue that the open world is arguably worse besides just having a more detailed/lush design than Elden Ring’s
@@kaleburns9347 Barren? Maybe sparsely populated is a better term. The antarctic is barren. Yeah that's not the word I'd use to describe Forbidden west. It wipes the floor with Elden ring on a technical and artistic level. Forbidden was also is packed with secrets and a very natural style of exploration if you turn on the right modes for your HUD.
@@CyborgSodaCollects yes, my bad. I do mean sparse because that’s a much better description than barren. Couldn’t think of the word in the moment. That being said, to say it wipes the floor from an artistic perspective is totally a personal opinion. I find horizons world to be beautiful, but I also find Elden Rings world to be equally beautiful but in a different way. One screams realism and lushness and the other screams grotesque and fantasy. The Demon’s Souls remake was also beautiful, but it lacked that From character that comes from their unique artsy or that focuses on the grand and gross rather than microscopically detailed and realistic. Technical, yes, Horizon is better through its ridiculously detailed environments. That’s being said, I prefer the look of Elden Ring because I prefer that fantasy grotesque look that requires less realism and lushness. To each their own on the artistic side though. You can feel absolutely free to say that you like HFW’s art style more.
I always knew elden ring would be good. Consider this, Zelda botw is still talked up as the best thing since sliced bread, but when I played it I thought, "this is pretty cool, but the enemy variety sucks ass. The weapons are made of moistened toilet paper, the rolling windows xp hills and barren landscapes make me depressed, and I hate games for dumb little kids." Elden ring Is apparently all the good stuff from that game, without any of that other stuff people try and ignore about botw.
Elden ring will for sure be better than botw. botw was great and a revolutionary game in its concept but it had a shit ton of flaws that everyone just brushes over. Still surprised it got a 97 on mc. I really hope they fix these issues in botw 2 cause it has some serious potential
T-minus 4 days until Germy releases a video of him raging at the first 3 hours of Elden Ring and then follows it up with a first impressions where he says it's one of the best games of the year but uses Horizon as a shield so he can deflect from it being the best game of the year.
@@StBindo yes but it was review bombed. Giving a game 1/5 stars because some performance issues is obscene. Yes, they should dock a point or two but not everything
@@kaleburns9347 What proof is there that it was review bombed? That accusation is made any time a popular movie or game has a significant amount of negative user reviews. But no one person just so happened to have enough influence to get a lot of people to lie about having performance issues. I agree that doesn't necessarily mean the game itself is bad, but if you can't sit down and just enjoy the gameplay due to performance issues, then I think it's enough to merit a single star. WHen people buy a game, and especially one hyped like this, then they should be able to depend on it working. I do get what you're saying, though. If
@@StBindo sorry, my bad, I just meant the game was bombarded by bad reviews because of the performance issues. Not that it was literally reviewed poorly in attempt to harm its sales. I just meant that it was crushed by a large number of negative reviews that painted a bad picture about the game. Sorry, I was just unaware about the actual meaning of review bombing
LMAO THIS FUCKING INTRO IS LEGENDARY. Great vid!!!! reminds me when people were overhyping the hell out of cyberpunk 2077 lmfaooo metacritic was at a 90 before it dropped too
Now the game is out, ooof. This game is bad. Boring, repetitive and ugly and uninspiring. 5/10. Fun for the first 30 minutes. But then it's just rinse and repeat with no story, nothing to read, nothing to learn. Nothing to do. The inventory system is literally an 1990 rps Esq style, makes PUBG alphas inventory system looks intuitive. The movement is unresponsive, and the feel is horrible. The combat is swing tumble swing tumble jump swing tumble tumble die/or kill. The game isn't fun. It's just boring
The problem with 1-10 scores is that most of the time you'll ignore 4-6. It's easy to give a game you enjoyed a 9 or a 10, easy to see it's value as a 7 or 8, and very easy to give a game you hated a 1, 2, or 3. The numbers have absolutely no real measurement of scale. An 8 will always seem too high for an okay game, and too low for a great one. The pure psychology of it ensures any reasonably good game be a considerable 9 or 10.
My system: with some examples 1. Unplayable- Cyberpunk base ps4 version at launch 2. Borderline unplayable- fallout 76 launch 3. Hot garbage- crossfire X, Battlefield 2042 4. Bad- Sea of Thieves Launch, Cod Vanguard 5. Painfully Average- Destiny 1, Halo Infinite, The Division 1 and 2 6. Half decent, some good some bad: Death Stranding, The last of Us part 2, Dark Souls 2 7. Good game.- control, assassins creed odyssey, horizon forbidden West 8. Really Great(big boy step up from 7/10 imo) resident evil 2 remake, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, The Outer Worlds, Battlefield 3 9. Amazing, serious game of the year contender/winner- Ghost of Tsushima, Red Dead 2, The last of us part 1, Sekiro, Bloodborne 10. One of the best games of the generation, and maybe all time. (Elden Ring, Breath of the Wild, God of War, The Witcher 3)
Dawg, there is a big, BIG difference between an 89 score for Deathloop and a 97 for Elden Ring. Reviews be dropping 7/8's like nothing. Upper 9/10's? Not that easy.
@@battlerifle8642 You’re talking about a metacritic score and I’m talking scores across the board. From critics and gamers. You literally just proved my point 😂😂
Dudes mental state has been on a roller coaster this Black History month since Dying Light 2, lmao. You would think these reviewers had never played or heard anything about Dark Souls or FromSoftware games the way their praises have been. After the gameplay reveal, my interest was cemented because it looked like a amazing combination of all their previous games and mechanics but I didn't expect it to be THIS loved. Haven't seen any complaining about difficulty, either (yet), it's interesting. Oh well, *WE EATIN' GOOD AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS!*
@@HupCapNinja are you slow? we havent had a souls game from fromsoft in 6 years lmao! and their last game was Sekiro which was much different than dark souls, and here they are with an open world game. And you comparing that to yearly COD and bi-yearly ubisoft titles...
@@Alex-nt6zr You guys been having Dark Souls 4 5 and 6 and 7 Lmao. 6 years? It’s not even a Dark Souls game and Sekiro came out in 2018. Bro you proved my point though 6 years = still the same game. It’s just Dark Souls 3 DLC. Even Final Fantasy is getting a souls game but what I learned is everything Souls turns to turds.
Dude I didn’t play games at all until I played bloodborne 6 years ago. These games have literally and objectively kept me clean off heroin/ fetty after I initially went through my acute withdrawal. I don’t enjoy other games in the same way. Period. The relationship actual fans have with from software games is just on a different level. I could give a shit what meta critic scores or review scores give this game but sometimes things are undeniably awesome. So many of these “hypocrites” you speak of played a 15 hour long fucking demo with 12 bosses in it and a metric ton of side content and already know the game is good. It’s not coming out of thin air. Every single game from software has released has been phenomenal since 2009. Usually everyone shits on them because they are esoteric and challenging. The truth is from software don’t rip their customers off, they give their fans actual value for the money they spend and literally don’t care what reviewers/ journalists think. ever. They haven’t paid anyone off, getting mad at their success is kinda petty, they seem to have made everyone happy with this one and they deserve the respect and congratulations they are getting. If the people around you are really dumb enough to use meta critic as an example of quality reviews, or even feel the need to gloat about something as dumb as someone else’s invention and creativity being better than another’s, maybe you should ask yourself what the fuck you are doing surrounded by them? or, at the very least stop using the internet for a couple days. I haven’t encountered a single person in my life or section of the souls community using review scores to boast about the game in any way. I have encountered a bunch of hipsters who hate shit just because it is popular though. (Edit: spelling )
People shit on them because they are all boring copy pastes and souls fanboys eat it up like they’re ground breaking every time. Hollow Knight is an example of a good game with similar style. The obnoxious souls fanboys won’t touch that game with a 10 foot pole because it doesn’t have anime sword characters or whatever.
Honestly I’ve been pretty hyped about this game, and after being super hyped for cyberpunk, and battlefield 2042 and seeing the downfall of those games, I’m just happy too see this game is getting good scores, I didn’t think it would be bad but I always had that fear.
under dying light comments you see them talking about elden ring and than when HFW under comments you see them talk about elden ring this is another CP 2077 fan boys who will never say anything bad about their fav game the gaming community are hypocrites. they never point out flaws in their games but try to point out flaws in everyone else fav games.
One of the reviewers that I trust is SkillUp. He always straight up informs you the bad things and the good things about a certain game. He explained clearly how Deathloop was broken and other problems that came with the game. In the end, He didn't recommend it. But talking about Elden Ring, He strongly urge people to check it out.
I never played a from software game, but from what most reviews I've seen on their thorough analysis and the features it offers, it just might be flawless
@@DrezzyEFTP From Software don't miss. They always bring heat. Other than Dark souls 2, they never really dropped a bad game. They must got Drake at the helm.
I don’t think you get From Software Fans at all. If it’s directed by Miyazaki himself we just buy it, scores don’t matter. Ppl like you need these high scores these high scores to convince you to give the genre a chance… 🤷🏻♂️
meanwhile not even a few weeks ago he was saying dying light 2 was gonna be game of the year, even though those early reviews were a mess😭😭 there always has to be that one guy when people are hyped for things. even though the devs have the best track record in gaming lmao
I guarantee that if Elden ring was a Sony exclusive or if Sony ever buys fromsoft in the future most of the people in this comment section will completely change their opinion and praise them 😂😂😂. People forgetting that fromsoft made a top 2 ps4 game 😏 and I don’t any slander on that game. But when it comes down to reviews, metacritic and number scores don’t really matter and are flaws imo, but from the three reviews I’ve seen that don’t use numbers it looks like an amazing game.
Like seriously why do people be like “ITS JUST DARK SOULS” like no duh it’s made by the niggas that made a whole franchise of souls games. Jeremy community is full of ponies
@@alexanderenyioma1754 the one that always baffled me was “it’s just dark souls but in an open world”. Like what?????. Do people not realize just how big of a change that is? Imagine bloodborne with an open world, it wouldn’t be the same.
The game might be fucking amazing, but if anyone uses the score to justify elden ring being better than X game ill beat the shit out of anyone who uses that argument
Never been a souls fan but Elden Ring has my interest. I've seen some reviews from non-critics like Iron Pineapple who genuinely seemed to enjoy the game. Opinions like those mean something to me. I can't tell how much of your video is serious and how much of it is parody for the sake of aggravating people, but I found it entertaining either way 👍
@EDWARD yeah I just mean that he's not being paid to make a review; he's making it out of passion for the game. I like hearing the perspectives of people who enjoy the game more than people who were paid to say things about it, even if they both end up saying similar things. Plus I've found a lot of games from his videos that I love, so I know I have similar tastes to him despite not liking Dark Souls itself.
The reviews definitely weren't bought. From Soft has just gotten to the point where the general belief is, "only REAL gamers like Souls games." Critics have that in their head when they review the game. They don't want to seem fake, so they go ahead and give it a 10 because anything less means they "don't get it" and aren't "real" gamers.
Oh yeah it couldnt possibly be because the game is actually good, it's because of its reputation of being hard to new comers. Come on dude enough with this garbage.

@@kronosleblu888 a game doesn’t need to be super innovative or revolutionary to be an amazing game. Look at ds1, that game basically just refined what worked in demons souls and added an interconnected world and it became one of the best games ever in many peoples eyes. Elden ring is just refining the combat and adding an open world. Refinement can be just as powerful as innovation.
Souls games are my pride and joy. You cannot take that away from me. Standing here next to elden ring, bloodborne, dark souls series, (yes, even ds2), looking down at all the other action rpgs. It feels good to be gud
God of war will be great but it will not out last elden ring, God of war will be a fun play and then it will be filed away while elden ring will be played for at least the next few years easy.
@@SirCartierNY you and thecomplainer2323 come wit it, I spoke nothing but facts, niggas is still playing dark souls 2 until this day, God of war 7 gone come out and people still gone be on elden ring, im betting my chips on elden ring for goty, I want all the smoke nigga.
From has released banger games consistently and not missed since (arguably) dark souls 2 in 2014. Add in the GRRM collab for lore and the hype was always warranted.
@@NM-sb9co TRASHING?! Because I wasnt on all aboard the elden ring hype train and said ''I don't understand the hype'' thats TRASHING THE GAME?? LOL come on dawg
You letting these fools get to your head brother. No matter what, there will ALWAYS be these toxic fanboys who will slurp anything up and will do anything to shove it in your face, pay them no mind and they wont know what to do with themselves
Fromsoft fanboys are some of the worst in the gaming community I have seen in recent years. Side note: not everyone who hated the story and pacing of The Last of Us Part 2 hated it because of Joel being killed. It’s the fact they did false advertisement, made us play half the game as a new character that many of us didn’t care for (pacing was terrible), not to mention the inconsistencies with Ellie’s character and others in general. Gameplay was enjoyable but they didn’t innovate as much as they could have. Let’s not forget we still don’t have a multiplayer for it. There’s a very good reason a lot of Neil’s ideas for the first game got shut down. One being Tess as a villain lol… HFW is a great time. Had some dumb parts (story/writing wise) but no game is perfect. Sifu is fantastic.
My only issue is that I've notice souls fans heavily criticize other games graphics/story and then turn around and beat a souls game and don't even know what the story is about. For example, I've seen so many souls fans criticizing Horizon Zero Dawn because some elements of the story was told through data text and audio logs but have no issue with souls games where they have to watch Vaatividya for the story/lore of souls games.
If you actually try and explore and read item descriptions you can peace the story together, there is no set in stone story it’s up to the player how to interpret it.
@@torezgermy2 I think the difference between souls games and hzd is that hzd still tries to have a typical story the way you would usually experience it in a video game. In souls games you can just play the entire game without giving a crap about the story and still have fun. That’s not really the case with hzd. It really shoved the story in your face. So adding critical information through so many data logs can be annoying especially if it should’ve just been told regularly and if the story isn’t that great to begin with.
I could believe that these reviews were bought, cause there's no way they all finished the game lmao. Critics still complaining about not having easy modes, but all of a sudden 10/10!!! I can't wait for Jeremy to eat his words though.
I dont even think it was bought but any souls games come with insane levels of Dickriding not to mention now they can say it has a breathe of the wild world
I 100% agree. The scores don’t really matter. First off I don’t think ANY game is worthy of a 10. But as to why these games seem to keep getting 9’s and 10’s and you may not feel they were worthy of it…is because usually outlets have people who are fans of or interested in the game review it. So it is starting things off automatically with a bias. And lastly reviews are just opinions they don’t have to align with your mindset or view of a game/movie/etc. And the reason why you may not see reviews with opinions that align with you is because what I mentioned above. Most outlets assign people who are going into it already a fan. There are I’m sure a few reviews from legitimate outlets maybe some smaller ones where you may find an opinion similar to your own it is just those get buried among the IGN’s of the world. So they are out there they are just harder to find. Maybe if we were able to find them much easier we wouldn’t be disappointed or underwhelmed when getting to play a game that’s been hyped up. Usually a good gaming journalist will detail their background or experience with previous similar titles and sometimes may even disclose what their issues with those were. Which may make it easier for you to distinguish if you’ll like a game or not based on what they have to say. But it is never guaranteed because again reviews are just opinions and everyone is different and goes into things expecting or wanting certain things. But to comment on the whole rooting for Elden Ring to flop thing….I find that mindset sooo bizarre and weird. Years ago when I was a kid I don’t remember people actively rooting for a game to be bad and so bad. And devote weeks of their life to do so. I mean the amount of videos I’ve seen of people just hating Elden Ring forrr…well I’m not exactly sure for what. Maybe just because it seems to be popular? But either way I find it so so strange. I mean look at the user review scores for Elden Ring sooooo soooo many copy and pasted reviews from multiple accounts, so many just straight up hate reviews of people who didn’t even play the game, etc. The review bombed the game because they want to see it fail for some reason. Which I just don’t understand. I’m not a souls fan in fact Elden Ring is my first Souls game other than getting to screw around in Demon’s Souls PS5 remake which my friend has. And I must say that Elden Ring is definitely up there for me in terms of some of the best games I’ve played. But I still don’t think it is a perfect 10. Because there is always room for improvement. And to anyone offended that I’m enjoying the game…that is just my opinion and what I personally enjoy. You are being forced to agree or being forced to like it just someone else saying they do like the game.
Iam so confused, I picked up elden ring cause my friends were talking about it. I didn’t know this game existed until yesterday. What did I just walk into?

I’m getting Elden Ring day one but ima keep it real I think this game is over hyped but I’m happy for the players that truly play souls games all the time 💯💯
@@donmcron3334 aye you know I’m speaking facts bro the only people that need to seriously be this hyped for a series like this are the hardcore souls fans haha
Dark Souls 1-3, absolute bangers Bloodborne, Fire Sekiro, Amazing Elden Ring, God-Tier How ignorant would you need to be to think this game would be bad ? We aren't talking about COD or BF here.
It's a souls game, it looks and plays like one. It works for fans of the series and I guess that's all it needed to do. Personally, I refunded it, it's poorly optimised right now (just like ds3) and I'll wait a month or so to buy it again when all its quirks are ironed out
Bugs in every game that doesn’t stop sekiro, god of war and many others from being goty. Also it’s fromsoftware they are some of the best devs in the industry
I was watching TV and Elden Ring and Fromsoft came in telling me to get on the ground with guns pointed to my head and my family! I asked him why are you breaking in my house? Don’t you have a 97 on MC? Then Elden Ring shot me in the foot, shame on you Fromsoft! Kratos and Zelda would never do this!
Eldin Ring is one of the games I've really been looking forward to cause it seems to have so much of what I wanted from Souls games. Although it is pretty obvious when reviews are bought whenever it is ONLY 9s and 10s across every game site. I've watched reviews where they brought up fair criticisms like pc optimization and the open world making it hard to focus on certain subplots. Despite that it looks like a game I'll be spending a lot of time on.
Is it really bought when games for the past 3 years have all been unfinished glitchy bugged mess? We have literally more gameplay than any other pre released game fears to throw out there. Lol.
What yall forget about Elden is, it's being reviewed by souls journalists. Unlike most other games there are more journalists reviewing Horizon than Elden ring. So meta critic is unbalanced.
Bro Horizon Forbidden West is so packed with detail it makes every other open world game look empty by comparison. Forbidden West has some crazy attention to detail that you don't see often in other games. Take a scenery screenshot from that game and it will almost look CGI like or photorealistic. Art Direction goes a long way. But good graphics don't equal a good game. So I understand that. Don't get me wrong I'm hyped for Elden Ring BUT from an objective observation it's open world don't look that crazy visually. I'm hyped for Elden Ring and will be buying it. Why can't people just enjoy games and appreciate it. 💀
nah, i would argue that elden ring has much more to offer, literally there are a ton of hidden dungeons and secret locations in the game. and it's only on the fucking beta version. just imagine how much more it will have in the final build.
you make a lot of sense. Us gamers who dont actually play souls games bought this game because of the metacritic score and high scores across the board. hopefully its not a let down
@@KingDonWahed funny cuz Sifu copied a lot from Sekiro, one of from software’s games. You don’t have to hate on a game just because you’re a fan of another game, that shit is cringe my guy
@@dathunderman4 When did I say Sekiro was trash? Assuming is kinda cringe ngl. Sekiro at least had new ideas while Elden Ring is an empty open world that is identical to Dark Souls. Identical gameplay, identical animations, identical audio pieces and cues, identical trash ass graphics, identical framerate issues. Simply trash.
39 reviewers gave this game a high score to make it a 95 on pc. You know how many critics review it? 39 lol It's like if 40 horizon fans scored the game. Makes no sense.
Even if 2 reviewers named from and software were the only ones to review it high, it still wouldnt change the good times I continue to have with this game. The fact is real gamersTM dont look at reviews to buy games. We form our own opinions through watching gameplay. Or in my case I just trusted that from software would deliver once again thanks to previous good experiences because I didnt bother to watch a launch trailer on it even before buying it. Best blind decision of my life. It's always been trendy to hate on souls but this is the loudest souls has ever been so it's funny to see all these people crying.
@@yungtraplord1077 It's about reviewers not being bias and telling the truth about a games performance issues. If they deduct points from one game because of performance issues they should do the same for all. I am not saying ER isn't a good game. I am trying to figure out how Returnal "Was too hard and needs to be made easier" remove a point from the total score. And then say "it's a souls game, get good" giving it a + for that is wrong. SIFU suffered the same double standard. In the end you can like whatever you want. It won't change the facts that the gaming media are hypocrites when it comes to rating games.
I remember back in 6th and 7th gen, a above average game was a game you could still have fun with even if it's not perfect, Kane and Lynch is a good example, may not be the best game ever but I played through it multiple times and liked the story, same with Red Faction 2 and Freedom Fighters, remembered fondly, not because they were these grand epics but because they were simply fun. Giving a highly acclaimed game a 7 is now equivalent to saying it's outright trash, Critics and Gamers today are far too cynical that a game that comes out shallow and broken has more chance of success then a game that is above average.
These elden ring scores don't mean JACK DIDDLY SQUAT! YOU ELDEN RING CUCKS!!!

I'm sorry..but the game can't really be bad....it's the same exact formula as all of their other games that reviewed well..and just open world added. If you take nothing away from an already high rated game formula..and just add the simplest of things..open world...then seriously.. mathematically..what could go wrong.
It's impossible for this game to be bad in any multiverse.
Elden Ring is the reason why I held off on playing Horizon Forbidden West. There was no way I was gonna rush through a game like Horizon Forbidden West...
I'm gonna take my time with both of these games and experience them properly...
The way games were meant to be played not rushed through
I would agree if it wasn't for the fact that reviewers that I both enjoy and despise are giving the same 10/10 or 9/10 reviews. People who have always despised the series are now giving it 9s then clearly either from soft has the deepest pockets or the game is simply that good.
I'd say From Software tried to finally make a game that is for everyone but instead of bringing everyone together the core fanbase wants to go to war with everyone not saying this is the best game of all time.
Nope it’s just that good!!!!!
@@connorkenway09 Accurate.

The virgin "gotta watch reviews before I buy a game!" vs the CHAD "gamplay looks fun to me so imma cop"
I’ve always been a “chad” lol not sure what it means. Yeah though I been gaming to long to need to watch someone’s review before I decide to get a game or not.
I honestly don’t see how people didn’t see this coming. Like honestly Miyazaki and his team have been releasing bangers after bangers. Just recently Sekiro. Just throw FromSoft their well deserved flowers. I present to you your 2022 GOTY “Elden Ring”!

All I know is, I haven't heard anything really negative about Elden Ring. I haven't played a dark souls type game in a minute and I heard that it could be played completely coop. So that has gotten me really interested.
Only negative was that the performance on PC aint that great
@@Hunterese123 i think a large part of that was because reviewers didn't get the dedicated driver updates for it. also pretty sure fromsoft said the day 1 patch will fix them
I heard about performance issues and bugs. Can't say for myself though till I play it

@@TheGamer2323 Note that the performance issues and bugs were experienced pre day 1 patch
Elden ring will be a goty contender for sure no question about it. Also I don’t know how anyone could have doubted this game. The more reviews I read and gameplay videos Ive watched this will for sure go down as one of the best souls game and game this year
Definitely
Was in the list of goty before it released let be honest hype alone did that
Now this type of statement I can respect. Best souls game of all time? Hands down. ONE of the best games of the year and contender for GOTY? Yes. Instead of saying best game of the decade/century/whatever. Maybe best banana of all time but certainly not best fruit 😂
Agree with you 100%
2022 is gonna be one hell of a year
Yes, you are right, and like you, I do enjoy many different games and think many of them fall into the category of 'great'. But you have to give credit where credit is due!! Fromsoftware appears to have hit a homerun!!! And, for the many who have stood behind this game for so long, they have a right to give a solid and loud "I TOLD YOU So". Even you yourself has to admit this, whether you like it or not!!! Much love!!!
TELL DESE NIGGAS MANE FROMSOFT DEAD ASS DESERVE CREDIT
LMFAO 🤣 that intro
Horizon Forbidden west is a flawed game for sure, but the open world exploration is incredible. The open world makes Elden Ring look elementary in comparison.
Nah. It’s more lush looking and it has a different appeal. Unfortunately it’s more baren and this is coming from a guy who loves Horizon Zero Dawn to death. There’s just literally so much to do and so many small and natural things going on that makes exploring every nook and cranny worth it. Both games are stellar though, but I’d argue that the open world is arguably worse besides just having a more detailed/lush design than Elden Ring’s
@@kaleburns9347 Barren? Maybe sparsely populated is a better term. The antarctic is barren. Yeah that's not the word I'd use to describe Forbidden west. It wipes the floor with Elden ring on a technical and artistic level. Forbidden was also is packed with secrets and a very natural style of exploration if you turn on the right modes for your HUD.
@@CyborgSodaCollects yes, my bad. I do mean sparse because that’s a much better description than barren. Couldn’t think of the word in the moment. That being said, to say it wipes the floor from an artistic perspective is totally a personal opinion. I find horizons world to be beautiful, but I also find Elden Rings world to be equally beautiful but in a different way. One screams realism and lushness and the other screams grotesque and fantasy. The Demon’s Souls remake was also beautiful, but it lacked that From character that comes from their unique artsy or that focuses on the grand and gross rather than microscopically detailed and realistic. Technical, yes, Horizon is better through its ridiculously detailed environments. That’s being said, I prefer the look of Elden Ring because I prefer that fantasy grotesque look that requires less realism and lushness. To each their own on the artistic side though. You can feel absolutely free to say that you like HFW’s art style more.
I always knew elden ring would be good. Consider this, Zelda botw is still talked up as the best thing since sliced bread, but when I played it I thought, "this is pretty cool, but the enemy variety sucks ass. The weapons are made of moistened toilet paper, the rolling windows xp hills and barren landscapes make me depressed, and I hate games for dumb little kids." Elden ring Is apparently all the good stuff from that game, without any of that other stuff people try and ignore about botw.
Exactly. I couldnt have said it better dude
Elden ring will for sure be better than botw. botw was great and a revolutionary game in its concept but it had a shit ton of flaws that everyone just brushes over. Still surprised it got a 97 on mc. I really hope they fix these issues in botw 2 cause it has some serious potential
Finally someone said it
@@antoniosanichar943 nintendogs for you. And I enjoyed BoTW.

T-minus 4 days until Germy releases a video of him raging at the first 3 hours of Elden Ring and then follows it up with a first impressions where he says it's one of the best games of the year but uses Horizon as a shield so he can deflect from it being the best game of the year.

@@kaleburns9347
And that's a legitimate reason to complain. Performance issues affect gameplay.
@@StBindo yes but it was review bombed. Giving a game 1/5 stars because some performance issues is obscene. Yes, they should dock a point or two but not everything
@@kaleburns9347
What proof is there that it was review bombed? That accusation is made any time a popular movie or game has a significant amount of negative user reviews. But no one person just so happened to have enough influence to get a lot of people to lie about having performance issues.
I agree that doesn't necessarily mean the game itself is bad, but if you can't sit down and just enjoy the gameplay due to performance issues, then I think it's enough to merit a single star. WHen people buy a game, and especially one hyped like this, then they should be able to depend on it working.
I do get what you're saying, though. If
@@StBindo sorry, my bad, I just meant the game was bombarded by bad reviews because of the performance issues. Not that it was literally reviewed poorly in attempt to harm its sales.
I just meant that it was crushed by a large number of negative reviews that painted a bad picture about the game. Sorry, I was just unaware about the actual meaning of review bombing
This might be a classic video right here
Most definitely
LMAO THIS FUCKING INTRO IS LEGENDARY. Great vid!!!! reminds me when people were overhyping the hell out of cyberpunk 2077 lmfaooo metacritic was at a 90 before it dropped too
Now the game is out, ooof. This game is bad. Boring, repetitive and ugly and uninspiring. 5/10. Fun for the first 30 minutes. But then it's just rinse and repeat with no story, nothing to read, nothing to learn. Nothing to do.
The inventory system is literally an 1990 rps Esq style, makes PUBG alphas inventory system looks intuitive.
The movement is unresponsive, and the feel is horrible.
The combat is swing tumble swing tumble jump swing tumble tumble die/or kill.
The game isn't fun. It's just boring
The problem with 1-10 scores is that most of the time you'll ignore 4-6. It's easy to give a game you enjoyed a 9 or a 10, easy to see it's value as a 7 or 8, and very easy to give a game you hated a 1, 2, or 3. The numbers have absolutely no real measurement of scale. An 8 will always seem too high for an okay game, and too low for a great one. The pure psychology of it ensures any reasonably good game be a considerable 9 or 10.
My system: with some examples
1. Unplayable- Cyberpunk base ps4 version at launch
2. Borderline unplayable- fallout 76 launch
3. Hot garbage- crossfire X, Battlefield 2042
4. Bad- Sea of Thieves Launch, Cod Vanguard
5. Painfully Average- Destiny 1, Halo Infinite, The Division 1 and 2
6. Half decent, some good some bad: Death Stranding, The last of Us part 2, Dark Souls 2
7. Good game.- control, assassins creed odyssey, horizon forbidden West
8. Really Great(big boy step up from 7/10 imo) resident evil 2 remake, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, The Outer Worlds, Battlefield 3
9. Amazing, serious game of the year contender/winner- Ghost of Tsushima, Red Dead 2, The last of us part 1, Sekiro, Bloodborne
10. One of the best games of the generation, and maybe all time. (Elden Ring, Breath of the Wild, God of War, The Witcher 3)
Dawg, there is a big, BIG difference between an 89 score for Deathloop and a 97 for Elden Ring. Reviews be dropping 7/8's like nothing. Upper 9/10's? Not that easy.
Yep the last game that got such a high score was rdr2 I don't care about scores myself but I see why people are hyped

@@HupCapNinja are you slow? we havent had a souls game from fromsoft in 6 years lmao! and their last game was Sekiro which was much different than dark souls, and here they are with an open world game. And you comparing that to yearly COD and bi-yearly ubisoft titles...
@@Alex-nt6zr You guys been having Dark Souls 4 5 and 6 and 7 Lmao. 6 years? It’s not even a Dark Souls game and Sekiro came out in 2018. Bro you proved my point though 6 years = still the same game. It’s just Dark Souls 3 DLC. Even Final Fantasy is getting a souls game but what I learned is everything Souls turns to turds.
Dude I didn’t play games at all until I played bloodborne 6 years ago. These games have literally and objectively kept me clean off heroin/ fetty after I initially went through my acute withdrawal. I don’t enjoy other games in the same way. Period. The relationship actual fans have with from software games is just on a different level. I could give a shit what meta critic scores or review scores give this game but sometimes things are undeniably awesome. So many of these “hypocrites” you speak of played a 15 hour long fucking demo with 12 bosses in it and a metric ton of side content and already know the game is good. It’s not coming out of thin air. Every single game from software has released has been phenomenal since 2009. Usually everyone shits on them because they are esoteric and challenging. The truth is from software don’t rip their customers off, they give their fans actual value for the money they spend and literally don’t care what reviewers/ journalists think. ever. They haven’t paid anyone off, getting mad at their success is kinda petty, they seem to have made everyone happy with this one and they deserve the respect and congratulations they are getting. If the people around you are really dumb enough to use meta critic as an example of quality reviews, or even feel the need to gloat about something as dumb as someone else’s invention and creativity being better than another’s, maybe you should ask yourself what the fuck you are doing surrounded by them? or, at the very least stop using the internet for a couple days. I haven’t encountered a single person in my life or section of the souls community using review scores to boast about the game in any way. I have encountered a bunch of hipsters who hate shit just because it is popular though.
(Edit: spelling )
People shit on them because they are all boring copy pastes and souls fanboys eat it up like they’re ground breaking every time.
Hollow Knight is an example of a good game with similar style. The obnoxious souls fanboys won’t touch that game with a 10 foot pole because it doesn’t have anime sword characters or whatever.

I can't tell how much of your video is serious and how much of it is parody for the sake of aggravating people, but I found it entertaining either way 👍
@EDWARD yeah I just mean that he's not being paid to make a review; he's making it out of passion for the game. I like hearing the perspectives of people who enjoy the game more than people who were paid to say things about it, even if they both end up saying similar things. Plus I've found a lot of games from his videos that I love, so I know I have similar tastes to him despite not liking Dark Souls itself.
The reviews definitely weren't bought. From Soft has just gotten to the point where the general belief is, "only REAL gamers like Souls games." Critics have that in their head when they review the game. They don't want to seem fake, so they go ahead and give it a 10 because anything less means they "don't get it" and aren't "real" gamers.
Oh yeah it couldnt possibly be because the game is actually good, it's because of its reputation of being hard to new comers. Come on dude enough with this garbage.

I haven't even downloaded the game and It's already the BEST game I have EVER experienced!
Fromsoft fanboys are some of the worst in the gaming community I have seen in recent years.
Side note: not everyone who hated the story and pacing of The Last of Us Part 2 hated it because of Joel being killed. It’s the fact they did false advertisement, made us play half the game as a new character that many of us didn’t care for (pacing was terrible), not to mention the inconsistencies with Ellie’s character and others in general. Gameplay was enjoyable but they didn’t innovate as much as they could have. Let’s not forget we still don’t have a multiplayer for it. There’s a very good reason a lot of Neil’s ideas for the first game got shut down. One being Tess as a villain lol…
HFW is a great time. Had some dumb parts (story/writing wise) but no game is perfect.
Sifu is fantastic.
Fanboys are the worst, doesnt matter from what companny or title.
Gonna pick it up but none of the footage screams anything above an 8. Similar to how I felt about deathloop and botw
My only issue is that I've notice souls fans heavily criticize other games graphics/story and then turn around and beat a souls game and don't even know what the story is about. For example, I've seen so many souls fans criticizing Horizon Zero Dawn because some elements of the story was told through data text and audio logs but have no issue with souls games where they have to watch Vaatividya for the story/lore of souls games.
These dudes have to go to youtube after the game ends to know the story
If you actually try and explore and read item descriptions you can peace the story together, there is no set in stone story it’s up to the player how to interpret it.
@@Votol78 Other games get crucified if they even dare try something like this from reviewers and souls fans.
@@lilcartwheel1144 But then turn around and criticize other games because they didn't tell all their story through cutscenes.
@@torezgermy2 I think the difference between souls games and hzd is that hzd still tries to have a typical story the way you would usually experience it in a video game. In souls games you can just play the entire game without giving a crap about the story and still have fun. That’s not really the case with hzd. It really shoved the story in your face. So adding critical information through so many data logs can be annoying especially if it should’ve just been told regularly and if the story isn’t that great to begin with.
I could believe that these reviews were bought, cause there's no way they all finished the game lmao.
Critics still complaining about not having easy modes, but all of a sudden 10/10!!!
I can't wait for Jeremy to eat his words though.
I dont even think it was bought but any souls games come with insane levels of Dickriding not to mention now they can say it has a breathe of the wild world
Not every reviewer has time to dump 80 hours for a review tho
Reviewers said they wouldn’t finish the game through, too much. I think IGN finished it
You do realize there’s a ton of options in ER to make the game significantly easier right
He won't he hates the game so much nothing nothing will change his opinion on it in fact he shouldn't even buy it lol
I 100% agree. The scores don’t really matter. First off I don’t think ANY game is worthy of a 10. But as to why these games seem to keep getting 9’s and 10’s and you may not feel they were worthy of it…is because usually outlets have people who are fans of or interested in the game review it. So it is starting things off automatically with a bias. And lastly reviews are just opinions they don’t have to align with your mindset or view of a game/movie/etc.
And the reason why you may not see reviews with opinions that align with you is because what I mentioned above. Most outlets assign people who are going into it already a fan. There are I’m sure a few reviews from legitimate outlets maybe some smaller ones where you may find an opinion similar to your own it is just those get buried among the IGN’s of the world. So they are out there they are just harder to find. Maybe if we were able to find them much easier we wouldn’t be disappointed or underwhelmed when getting to play a game that’s been hyped up.
Usually a good gaming journalist will detail their background or experience with previous similar titles and sometimes may even disclose what their issues with those were. Which may make it easier for you to distinguish if you’ll like a game or not based on what they have to say. But it is never guaranteed because again reviews are just opinions and everyone is different and goes into things expecting or wanting certain things.
But to comment on the whole rooting for Elden Ring to flop thing….I find that mindset sooo bizarre and weird. Years ago when I was a kid I don’t remember people actively rooting for a game to be bad and so bad. And devote weeks of their life to do so. I mean the amount of videos I’ve seen of people just hating Elden Ring forrr…well I’m not exactly sure for what. Maybe just because it seems to be popular? But either way I find it so so strange. I mean look at the user review scores for Elden Ring sooooo soooo many copy and pasted reviews from multiple accounts, so many just straight up hate reviews of people who didn’t even play the game, etc. The review bombed the game because they want to see it fail for some reason.
Which I just don’t understand. I’m not a souls fan in fact Elden Ring is my first Souls game other than getting to screw around in Demon’s Souls PS5 remake which my friend has. And I must say that Elden Ring is definitely up there for me in terms of some of the best games I’ve played. But I still don’t think it is a perfect 10. Because there is always room for improvement. And to anyone offended that I’m enjoying the game…that is just my opinion and what I personally enjoy. You are being forced to agree or being forced to like it just someone else saying they do like the game.
Lmao what did I click on that intro tho
Iam so confused, I picked up elden ring cause my friends were talking about it. I didn’t know this game existed until yesterday. What did I just walk into?
Elden Ring is mediocre, you play it and you will understand what i'm saying.
Cap
Hasn’t even played the game
What Fromsoft really succeeded in is implementing 8-bit NES levels of difficulty into a boss battle combat scheme which teaches you through trial and experience rather than cheap attacks

I’m getting Elden Ring day one but ima keep it real I think this game is over hyped but I’m happy for the players that truly play souls games all the time 💯💯
You trippin cuh 😭
@@donmcron3334 aye you know I’m speaking facts bro the only people that need to seriously be this hyped for a series like this are the hardcore souls fans haha
I just hate IGN and Metacritic they should not determine if a game is good or not.
lost their fictional dad 💀💀💀💀 and people still crying about it 😂
loool what has the internet come too claiming something is a masterpeice before it even comes out. before the masses can play the full game.
more people have played Elden ring and finished it before its “official” release than people have watch this video lmfao.
Wow 17 thousand people have early access codes and have beaten it? Damn bro cool story
Dark Souls 1-3, absolute bangers
Bloodborne, Fire
Sekiro, Amazing
Elden Ring, God-Tier
How ignorant would you need to be to think this game would be bad ?
We aren't talking about COD or BF here.
This man did not just put some white fluids on his face for that intro 💀😂 you’re hilarious bruh I swear
It's a souls game, it looks and plays like one. It works for fans of the series and I guess that's all it needed to do.
Personally, I refunded it, it's poorly optimised right now (just like ds3) and I'll wait a month or so to buy it again when all its quirks are ironed out
One of the most overrated games of all time already, REVIEWERS AINT EVEN BEAT THE GAME YET ! THERE ARE BUGS !
TALK YO SH***
CRY ABOUT IT
NAH NAH
Bugs in every game that doesn’t stop sekiro, god of war and many others from being goty. Also it’s fromsoftware they are some of the best devs in the industry
This guy still seething because they didn't make Bloodborne 2?
I was watching TV and Elden Ring and Fromsoft came in telling me to get on the ground with guns pointed to my head and my family! I asked him why are you breaking in my house? Don’t you have a 97 on MC? Then Elden Ring shot me in the foot, shame on you Fromsoft! Kratos and Zelda would never do this!
Funny ass fucking beginning bro you never disappoint Jeremy
Eldin Ring is one of the games I've really been looking forward to cause it seems to have so much of what I wanted from Souls games. Although it is pretty obvious when reviews are bought whenever it is ONLY 9s and 10s across every game site. I've watched reviews where they brought up fair criticisms like pc optimization and the open world making it hard to focus on certain subplots. Despite that it looks like a game I'll be spending a lot of time on.
Is it really bought when games for the past 3 years have all been unfinished glitchy bugged mess? We have literally more gameplay than any other pre released game fears to throw out there. Lol.
@@dood6647 yes. That's what we said. BOUGHT
@@InnerRise gameplay speaks for itself.
@@dood6647 I've seen gameplay and you're right. It does.
MID
@@InnerRise cope
What yall forget about Elden is, it's being reviewed by souls journalists. Unlike most other games there are more journalists reviewing Horizon than Elden ring. So meta critic is unbalanced.
Metacritic doesn’t matter. Anybody getting hyped over a games metacritic score needs to touch grass, and pet a cat
Lmaoooo
I was hype for the game from the get-go. But I'll admit that seeing those scores has made me even more excited.
Dawg every fucking time i think of elden ring now i hear you in my head lmfao HYUCK ElDeN rInG 😭😭
Bro Horizon Forbidden West is so packed with detail it makes every other open world game look empty by comparison. Forbidden West has some crazy attention to detail that you don't see often in other games. Take a scenery screenshot from that game and it will almost look CGI like or photorealistic. Art Direction goes a long way.
But good graphics don't equal a good game. So I understand that.
Don't get me wrong I'm hyped for Elden Ring BUT from an objective observation it's open world don't look that crazy visually. I'm hyped for Elden Ring and will be buying it. Why can't people just enjoy games and appreciate it. 💀
nah, i would argue that elden ring has much more to offer, literally there are a ton of hidden dungeons and secret locations in the game. and it's only on the fucking beta version. just imagine how much more it will have in the final build.
@@mychem20 LOL.....sighs
Nah Elden ring looks crazy af on ps5.
Just this past month ppl was saying dying light 2 over elden ring now since the game got 10s now they’re on the hype train
This would make total sense of there weren't already thousands of people playing their physical copies already.
Somebody didn't do their research.
Hate just for hating, how original...at the end a score does not say if you will like it... Dying light 2 got 7 and I loved it..
I don’t care what the score is I am NOT buying this game bruh lol
@@GG-ji4yx the voices in my head asked yo
I need the name of the song at the end of your videos
It’s not even the best game of February
Bro wtf I don't get it I thought you liked souls like games? Also a 97 is different than a 89, games don't get scores like that very often.
you make a lot of sense. Us gamers who dont actually play souls games bought this game because of the metacritic score and high scores across the board. hopefully its not a let down
As soon as I saw these review scores this morning I thought about you 😂
Imagine humiliating yourself like this and uploading it. A full grown man recorded and uploaded this
Elden Ring is trash. Accept it and move on.
@@KingDonWahed funny cuz Sifu copied a lot from Sekiro, one of from software’s games. You don’t have to hate on a game just because you’re a fan of another game, that shit is cringe my guy
@@dathunderman4 When did I say Sekiro was trash? Assuming is kinda cringe ngl. Sekiro at least had new ideas while Elden Ring is an empty open world that is identical to Dark Souls. Identical gameplay, identical animations, identical audio pieces and cues, identical trash ass graphics, identical framerate issues. Simply trash.
Nah, he's just spitting facts.
39 reviewers gave this game a high score to make it a 95 on pc. You know how many critics review it? 39 lol
It's like if 40 horizon fans scored the game. Makes no sense.
Even if 2 reviewers named from and software were the only ones to review it high, it still wouldnt change the good times I continue to have with this game. The fact is real gamersTM dont look at reviews to buy games. We form our own opinions through watching gameplay. Or in my case I just trusted that from software would deliver once again thanks to previous good experiences because I didnt bother to watch a launch trailer on it even before buying it. Best blind decision of my life. It's always been trendy to hate on souls but this is the loudest souls has ever been so it's funny to see all these people crying.
@@yungtraplord1077 It's about reviewers not being bias and telling the truth about a games performance issues. If they deduct points from one game because of performance issues they should do the same for all. I am not saying ER isn't a good game. I am trying to figure out how Returnal "Was too hard and needs to be made easier" remove a point from the total score. And then say "it's a souls game, get good" giving it a + for that is wrong. SIFU suffered the same double standard.
In the end you can like whatever you want. It won't change the facts that the gaming media are hypocrites when it comes to rating games.
I remember back in 6th and 7th gen, a above average game was a game you could still have fun with even if it's not perfect, Kane and Lynch is a good example, may not be the best game ever but I played through it multiple times and liked the story, same with Red Faction 2 and Freedom Fighters, remembered fondly, not because they were these grand epics but because they were simply fun.
Giving a highly acclaimed game a 7 is now equivalent to saying it's outright trash, Critics and Gamers today are far too cynical that a game that comes out shallow and broken has more chance of success then a game that is above average.
