A Serious Critique of Elden Ring
I finally got around to making this damned video. Too bad my opinion'll probably be the last thing you want to hear about Elden Ring.

Putting the "Survival" in "Survival Horror" - Darkwood Critique
มุมมอง 3.7K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Putting the "Survival" in "Survival Horror" - Darkwood Critique
super meat boy is still harder in my opinion, all though i still suck at spelunky 2
i absolutely love spelunky two, but to this day its still the only game ive ever broken a controller on due to how damn frustrating it is
Spelunky and the sequel are in a rare category of their own. I am not good at them; never gotten more than the most basic ending in the original, but I always come back to it, and play more and more.
Too big and boring. I played from software games for level design. Idgaf about banging my head over from an annoying boss.
I PLAYED for 170 hours and did not beat it i am shit
One other “ending” you have is to get the true crown
YOOOOOOO DEATH GRIPS!
I wish the area with ankh skip was the harder area, it’s so sad that the only real thing temple offers over tide is alien compass
33:30 you get a guaranteed jetpack thats why I prefer this route when i have no Jetpack :)
Skill issue.
after more than 200 hours in spelunky hd, hoping into spelunky 2 felt like the SAME when i started spelunky hd, after 5 hours i could not surpass the first biome, just like old times, this games are fantastic and frustating
I’ve been playing elden ring, i beat cuphead in a single sitting, I’ve made it to the final two bosses in terraria calamity infernum and beaten deathmode twice, I’m missing around 60 steam achievements in tboi, and this is still the hardest game I have ever played. But while all the other games have made me mad at least once, this one hasn’t. Maybe it’s because the game is rigged against you, maybe it’s the fact that I know with progress I’ll get better, I have no idea, but I just haven’t gotten mad at this game for some reason. Gungeon, isaac, and dead cells all have unlocks, hades and cult of the lamb of permanent upgrades you can buy, but with spelunky, you just have to be good. You can get good items, but they’ll only carry you so far.
26:28 wut
really good video!
Spelunky 2 is a torture device with a touch of gamplay(good)
The normal ending of Spelunky is not even that hard, the issue is the punishment. The game expects you to play with perfect attention, otherwise you will just get instakilled by the most random stuff. It does not matter how good you are, maintaining perfect execution and attention trough a whole run is impossible. At some point you will just look in the wrong direction and you'll die out of nowhere. It ends up boiling down to luck.
35:50 it wasn’t the coffin it was the hired helps corpse
I think spelunky 1 looks far better than 2 visually
8:00 you can actually edit the speech boxes in the HUD settings
26:20 tide pool jump scare
35:49 that wasn't the coffin, you shot the body
12:50 You can instead use the cape(and various other methods such as climbing gloves, the hoverpack, and turkeys) to descend slowly to the spikes, saving lots of resources, in case you didn't know. Happy Spelunking =)
I genuinely don’t understand how some people think patho1 is harder than patho2. I was fighting for my LIFE in pathologic 2 it’s literally one of the worst(and most fun) game experience I’ve ever had, while in pathologic 1, people literally throw money at you, and I’ve always had enough time to complete all the quests plus even the fights are easier.
Of course Im Bekinski fan, of course Im psychologically masochistic
The thru the walls reference is so out of nowhere and spot on. I bet the spelunkt and death grips fan base have decent crossover
man tide pool is amazing u crazy
Lol of course after beating it a lot of times and at SL1 the early bosses are going to be easy for you. They are not meant for experienced players to beat, they're supposed to be just that, early bosses with predictable patters that teach the basics of this game. I've gotta say though, that I really dislike early game DS3. The areas(leaving aside the Cathedral of the Deep) are pretty forgetable and bland. It feels like a pararell with Bloodborne. In DS3 you have a lot of option for weapons early game but the areas are pretty forgetable while on Bloodborne you don't have too many weapons but the combat is so fast and the starting area is one of the best in the game.
Every death is fair and your fault yeah right i have 10 clips of stuff happening and there was nothing i could do about it like a frog activated a trap i went down to kill it i died from the trap even tho it was activated
mostly agree about tidepool but the one thing i LOVE about it is the visuals, the colourpallet is just so pretty and light, in a landscape where all water levels in games go for the same dark blue designs, having this lush, colourful coral reef design is SUCH a breathe of fresh air
this morning i got a run to babylon and everything was going so perfectly well, i lost my ankh due to a mistake that was mostly my fault, then i lost the run entirely because on of the yellow orbs spawned in directly on a UFO which then shot down onto me at light speed and one shot me cool
yeah my only big problem in this game is the spike in difficulty at volcona dwelling is relativley easy, along with ice cave and tide pool, but litterally every single time i die in volcona its to a one hit kill... thats kind dumb for it being the second world which is followed by 2 easy ones (then babylon which i think is pretty well balanced [most of the time])
my favorite game, Mop
pathologic 1 is so piss easy at times especially compared to p2, at least for me. i think i prefer many p1 character designs, the p1 soundtrack, p1s vibes, and the overall story of p1 more. but p2 is still amazing in all of those departments, and p2 has much better gameplay in nearly every way.
I really hate how cultish some, seemingly a lot, of Fromsoft fans have become. You literally cannot criticize this game at all in any way without being told you are just bad, to "git gud" and how the game is perfect because it's hard. I saw one guy say that he actively decided to dismiss all criticism of the game because 1 time he saw 1 guy say 1 stupid thing and therefore all criticism is invalid. I asked him if he thought Fromsoft was perfect and above flaw and he told me he wouldn't answer because it was a bad faith question.
Exactly there's a reason any video criticizing this game in any way has a literal 5 minute long disclaimer starting the video so people dont instantly rage. I like this game but it has a lot of problems,duo crucible knight for example pretty bad design and I've beat them still doesn't mean it was good.
u actually can get stuck
Saburov only keep you in jail until certain time. If you choose the time to turn in properly, you will waste very little time spending in the jail. In jail, you are safe from the mob and you get to rest. This is the only bed in Haruspex's route that can only be used once. A place to rest is not easy to find. Saburov is obliged to feed you while you are arrested. ....Just sayin'.
And yet, even with all its flaws, 10million + people went to watch the shadow of the erdtree teaser trailer. Despite its flaws Elden Ring is still a fun game.
12:51 why place a bomb when u have cape
I think the hardest games most people haven't heard of are: La mulana 1 La mulana 2 and World of Horror. A runner up is Diablo 2 Lod on hell. I want a la mulana 3. Also the upcoming dlc for Elden ring might be hard but I don't have a time machine nor is it June 21st yet.
Beating this games is easier than finishing 116 consequent randomized levels.
The regular compass doesn’t work in cosmic ocean so you need the Alien compass for that
With the web gun you can jump in the webs you can make so you can scale up a wall with the web gun
100% the hardest game I ever played.. and I absolutely love it. It’s a perfectly crafted game imo but you have to sink a LOT of time into it to get good. There are so many things to think about as you play, precise movements and whip attacks, where to place your items and where/when you can move, what clever exploit you can use to easily beat a boss or get past a level.. and the list goes on. This game is extremely difficult but imo that’s what makes it fun and addictive. The difficulty makes it so rewarding to leave a level with good equipment, lots of health, and lots of bombs.
The mines are definitely easier
You forgot Elden Beast on unique 1 time encounters Thanks for the video! :)
Dood your fucking hilarious it’s upsetting you haven’t uploaded In a year or have a twitch channel
I think royal jelly being given after kappala is a good move. By that point you probably have a good number of the basic items it would give and bombs. You'd also probably have a good number of health but some sources chunk your health down by 10 and you can still get instakilled so it's not like your invincible even with 99 health
I have never heard of Dark Souls 3 being described as clunky and I have never once thought to myself that it was clunky of all things that I have ever thought about it that is not even close
I wish It had more of the stuff from Dark Souls 2 in it and even from the original Dark Souls like instead of stripping things to a more basic simpler format they might have even added or at least kept it the same but I feel the same way I absolutely love Dark Souls 3 but at the same time I wish it wasn't as stripped down feeling
Felt exactly like this. Can do Hell Run eyes closed, but Spelunky 2 was bs.
