      Ok fine, I can X) Pretty crazy tho. When they announced the incentive goal we were like 400k away. Then ppl proceed to fulfill that and add another 500k on top after and during the run. Def the highlight of this GDQ imo

    I had not played elden ring but when a friend of mine showed me a stream of him attempting the DLC bosses I discovered the Lion Dancers OST.
    Half an hour later I was downloading Elden Ring and a week later with an insane 100 hours sunk into the game I had actually made it there.

    • @CompleteProducer84
      @CompleteProducer84 9 днів тому +15

      Yeah same. I liked the areas in the DLC more, as well as the verticality and density. Also loved the challenge, and the importance of the Scadutree fragments made exploration more exciting

    • @AkuniLesare
      @AkuniLesare 9 днів тому +25

      I hated the DLC. It's style over substance, repeating and exaggerating issues that late game base ER had. For a FromSoft release, this felt very undercooked.
      Honestly dunno how the couch in this run can be so positive, ignoring all the mechanical issues like stutters or hitboxes not lining up, erratic enemy placement or, despite "too much dragons" being a prominent complain, absolutely spamming *one* dragon type.
      Feels like FS didn't really have a solid direction or time to polish for the DLC.

    • @anywhooohowareyou9540
      @anywhooohowareyou9540 9 днів тому +13

      I think the DLC benefits strongly from hindsight. The first play through of Elden Ring is truly a once in a lifetime experience. Secrets behind every corner. So many weapons and builds that are viable.
      The DLC definitely caters to somebody that knows what they are doing. I did find the world to be a little more empty than the base game though - once you beat Rhadan that’s it. There aren’t even really many places to go back and do some killing to try things out (at least not that I found).
      The map is incredible though. They used verticality extremely well.

    Seriously one of the best incentive ideas you guys have ever cooked. Way to capitalize on the hype. Kind of reminds me of the first Breath of the Wild run way back, when you guys got the first 100k stream (or was that a skyrim speedrun?).

  • @allgreatfictions
    @allgreatfictions 8 днів тому

    With blanxz being allowed to bring a save file that already has everything set up just as a showcase, I'd love to see more stuff like that shown off at GDQ in the future. Showcase the DLCs of Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring with an all-boss run, but let the runners bring any setup they want. One thing I really don't love in speedrunning is the lack of creativity by the time it gets shown off at this level. Everything the runner is doing is the same as what every other runner is doing because other creative people already came up with the fastest strats. Showing off creativity with weapons and attacks you like would be so much more enjoyable, and like they said at the start of this run: it's not scripted, it's just good, clean fights played at a high level.

    • @JamesVSwan
      @JamesVSwan 8 днів тому +57

      Proof of concept Showcase? And (not knowing anything beyond the run itself) showing off fight tactics for each of the bosses routed so far without major spoilers? Maybe something closer to all bosses/100% down the line would need it as opposed to any% but here it’s more for show I’d assume.

    The comment about leveling is only sort of correct, your scadutree fragment level is more important than your actual levels in terms of attack and defense. Im curious how many fragments will end up being ideal in the full run.
