      The part that gets me, like REALLY gets me, it's a God dam souls game. They have NEVER been "easy" and I never really saw people really complain.
      I've met people who have said stuff like "oh I'm not a fan, those games are hard so I just never got into it"
      But some of the people complaining about this game is crap.
      It's so well crafted, it really is and if you're an old school souls fan, it's amazing how far it's come. The AI has mostly gotten better, the movement mechanics, the jumping (oh thank God for the jumping) compared to the older games is SO NICE.
      My only complaint about this game is its frame capped for consoles, like I get it, but it's my only complaint.
      And idk I've never really seen people care so much about "a game not made for everyone"
      Most games aren't for everyone, and that's been true for a long time.

      Although it can seem a bit toxic at times, the rallying cry of git gud isn't just something Souls veterans tell new playsers, it's also what we tell our selves after dying to the same boss over a dozen times. It's a reminder that although these games are challenging, persevering and learning to overcome those difficulties through your own skill, is why we play these games. For the new dlc of Elden Ring I believe I said it to myself at least 2 dozen times and that was before getting to the last boss. And for me personally it helps keep my head clear and not get upset when I die. I learn from it and eventually I do in the end Git Gud. And I think mostly everyone is capable of that.

      Now that's how a gamer is supposed to act like "gamer". Patience is key, it's just like learning a new sport. You can't say you're a sporty guy if the only sport you know or stick to is just one type of sport at least hobby wise, those who are with profession is understandable if they only know one or two sports in their whole lifetime since it's their profession.
      But me as a gamer, it's just merely a hobby, not a profession unless I decide to make money out of it. So it's natural for me to try all different kinds of games to the best of my interests to see if it really fits my style. Tho not all games are good to begin so gamers have a hard times picking games to play so usually they stick their usuals.
      But here, Elden Ring is that kind of game that has indeed a large learning curve being a souls game, but proved to be beginner friendly and new to the franchise players friendly. So those other people that tag themselves as "gamer" but only has the mentality to just write reviews by only watching YT clips without having even the slightest patience of playing the actual game are just the bandwagon type people.
      Want to try a new game to add to your gaming collection as a pure gamer but game is hard? There are lots of guides and tutorials out there that can help, there's the even in-game tutorial if you're paying close attention. Bu if people don't even bother with that, then they can't be truly called a "gamer" in that sense. They just simply play it. Play and forget. A true gamer always comes back.

So the next day i bought 2 more copies of Elden Ring. So happy that the game got best game of the year award.

      the whole premise of the series is that the game doesn't end when you die, you aren't re-loading saves and there is potentially net zero loss it's like the oxymoron of gaming. Also, it makes every death or attempt at a boss a unique experience and the difficulty makes it more visceral and rewarding than most other games. I have thoroughly enjoyed them all except Sekiro because there was no pvp, I may eventually play it but for me pvp is where it's at. Cheers!

Killed Radagon with a rapier and tower shield, blocking most attacks and countering when able to. It was the equivalent to playing Street Fighter 2 doing only low kicks, dealing low chip damage. Radagon killed me a lot of times, but when I finally started seeing the patterns it felt great! I had a blast with that fight. Still trying to understand Elden Beast tho.

    ... Then i saw a streamer dogshit their way through Dark Souls 1, and i was like 'hold up. This... This looks doable?'.
    4 years later i played through all of DS1, 2, 3, ER, BB, and part of Sekiro. Blind. *_ADP should not be a fucking stat Miyazaki i will mu--_* ... AHEM. ... That take is defeatist and horrible from the very conceptualization of it. It pushes you into a position where you assume the worst of yourself.
    Fromsoft games can aboslutely be relaxing with the right mindset.
    But assuming _'this is hard, i can't do that, therefor i won't enjoy it, therefor i don't like the game'_ robs you of an entire world of experiences.
    That is THE SINGLE WORST TAKE you can find about the Souls games online. They're not hard, they have a rough initial skill curve.

Might sound like I'm trashtalking my gf a bit, and it's true to an extent, but the fact is she is mechanically terrible at video games, and every time she gets stressed, she forgets all the controls and just blindely panicpress the buttons. After being stuck at Gatefront ruins for a little over an hour, she declared the game was not for her, and she stopped playing, until a few hours later, when she came back and managed to get through it. That was the moment she started to get really into it. She still struggles, and has a hard time on a lot of the bosses, but she is doing it, and I was honestly convinced that she would never like the game before she gave it a try.

    I am not a fan of Eldin Ring. Not to say I hate the game, cuz I don't, but only because I don't mesh well with the brutal difficulty of the Souls-Borne style.
    I have played about 15 mins of Eldin Ring and have invested about 6 hours total in the DarkSouls/Bloodborne/Eldin Ring franchise. So barely anything at all. And while I don't like playing it, I still feel that this is one of the greatest games of all time. Very rich lore that is delivered piece-meal in an organic and realistic fashion. A power grind that brings the player up from less than a pawn to a god. Highly varied equipment and stats that encourage numerous playstyles. Loads of side content.

    Elden Ring is the first game in over a decade to make me remember why I fell in love with gaming. I've already almost let go of dreams of a good game and dismissed it as childhood nostalgia and manchild foolishness. Now I know I'm not crazy for thinking 99.99% of games I saw in the last decade were complete and utter trash. Now I know there is hope for gaming. This game is so far beyond anything I've experienced in gaming, I really see it as the pinnacle of the art form capable of bringing entire gaming into a Renaissance and out of the current corporate trash Dark Ages.

      Yes exactly, feels like something that stands out of cookie cutter mold everyone has been using to create games in the last 10 or more years. It doesn't hold your hand, makes your use your own instincts and create your own path. AAA gaming has been driven into ground with clones of certain titles within big publishers and excessive monetizing of those games. This game truly does feel like a breath of fresh air and a proof that singleplayer titles are still very relevant in our gaming world.

      That's the feeling I had when I played shin megami tensei 3 for the first time a few years ago. It wasn't trying to be like every rpg and wasn't afraid to put the player through a challenge which is something in common with dark souls. The fear of challenging the player or innovating and the lack of integrity from the devs/publishers is what makes modern games so hollow.

    Elden Ring is my first From Software game ever. I was completely new to this type of game. Yes, it was hard and there was a learning curve. I died many times thinking I could just be like a Skyrim main character and kill everything easily. But, I learned and got used to the difficulty. Studying the different moves and counters to enemies I discovered. I love the game. It’s awesome and I wish that I would’ve played all the other games that came before this one. I might play Elden Ring at least 10 times and start with each class once! Then I’ll eventually go back and play the others. Elden Ring completely blew me away and I still haven’t beat it yet. Just exploring the world and not know what lies around a corner is thrilling to me. I got the game a couple of days ago and have been completely obsessed with it

      Yeah man this game is awesome. The sad thing (and a good one too, of course) is that Elden Ring is a quintessence of other souls games and their good game design choices which means some of them are not in Dark Souls 3 or Dark Souls 1 or Sekiro, etc. And it's really sad cuz once you play a new souls game it really makes playing other games uncomfortable :( I've beaten every Fromsoft game many times except Demon's Souls and I could only imagine how hard it would be playing Dark Souls 3 without a normal jump or doing actions on A and not Y. But all these things aside, I am happy for you to get accustomed with Elden Ring, it's a great game, wonderful game series and I wish you all the best luck to explore and enjoy it!

    I think it's disturbing to see a generation of gamers react so irreverently to a team of developers actually committing to a vision. If anything, I think many people today feel threatened by authenticity that cannot be compromised, see it as a stain on perception rather than the content of perception itself.

      People complain a lot about how "bad" and boring Ubisoft games are, and the general nature of every other game being the same old tired thing... But Ubisoft and EA and Bethesda and whoever keep making these games for one reason.
      They sell.
      People buy this stuff. Hell, I buy some of it. AC Valhalla was the most fun I've had playing an AC game since Black Flag. It's a legitimately good game. But Elden Ring is on a whole different level, and that level serves a certain audience.

    When people talk about an "easy mode" in Elden Ring, I just know they never took the time to learn how to fight anything. Enemies have a much longer wind up time for most of their attacks (so much so that a lot of vets were complaining about it), and enemy archetypes are constantly recycled so if you learn one fight, you learn like six others. You don't need to have fast reaction times like in DS3 or Bloodborne. And even if the game, as presented, is still too hard, you have tools like magic, ash summons, and co-op summons to help you out if you're struggling
    The game doesn't need an easy mode, you just need to have a little patience and read your items/abilities

      Slower swing speeds true for alot if bosses but weirdly not Margit the first boss. He mixes in superfast no wind up sword swings mid speed staff attacks and slow hammer. Made me think ok bosses are gonna be cool and unpredictable. Then the rest of the bosses were mostly slow or fast, not both.
