No need to apologize. This guy is not a fan. He’s a zealot. There’s a difference. He cannot be wrong. Which is of course not true. But that’s how he sees it. So don’t take him too seriously. You enjoy Nintendo all you like. Just don’t take it as far as he did.
No way in hell he got that far, that would require actually making it through the catacombs. He probably got filtered by the Taurus Demon. Or the fucking Asylum Demon
So in order to show that Elden Ring was a failure, he compared the sales to that of a new game in the bigest franchise ever? Yeah, that isn't the own he thinks it is.
Actually, he compared Elden Ring to TWO new games in the largest multiple medium franchise out there. One person buying both versions of the latest Pokemon (FOMO, completionism, buying for kids w/ siblings) is far more likely than one person buying two copies of Elden Ring for themself/their household.
Did this guy really pull the "superior franchise is better than yours" with Pokemon of all things? Like yeah this series sells like hotcakes but the games are the Nintendo equivalent of call of duty in the sense that they are constantly pumped out with the quality getting increasingly bad with every release
Does he think that Nintendo employ him? I'm honestly curious if that is how he operates day to day thinking that he's providing a service or something 🤣
The thing about his initial comment he fails to realise is that he is combining the sales numbers of Scarlet & Violet TOGETHER, now if you look at the sales of each individual game i.e Scarlet OR Violet I'd be willing to wager that Elden Ring outsold both. It's Ar-Cee-Us or if your a cultured person Arkoos.
The thing that is hilarious to me when it comes to him running his mouth about pokemon sales is that the number of units sold is for both games. Since pokemon is sticking with the archaic model 9f games have pokemon unique to that version it results in many people buying both versions. Bet that the people that bought scarlet and violet is really only around 75% or less of the 20 million since they are buying both.
if I'm not mistaken, the entire souls saga (DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and SK) sold around 30 million... 30 million with 5 games (not counting demons souls) and more than 11 years of video games... and the fucking Elden Ring, 1 only video game sold in 1 year the equivalent of 66% of a whole decade of FS video games... It blows my mind that someone can say this is a failure without feeling stupid... god...
Wtf, I read the title and oh....I notice this is about Harman Smith.....dear god I'm a big fan of both and I can't see how anyone can complain about one or the other about the sales
Dark Souls actually is on the Switch. And plays pretty well if you can live with 30fps. Before I got my Steam Deck, I got REALLY into Elden Ring, but of course had no way to play away from home. I wanted a game to scratch that itch during lunch breaks and such at work, so I grabbed DS Remastered on Switch. Played it a bunch...until I got my Steam Deck, at which point I went back to Elden Ring. Unfortunately, I fell off both games. I think I might give DS Remastered another go this year though. Been itching to play again.
Wow... this guy is just... so weird! I mean, firstly, have some pride! He's slouched on a couch with his eyes barely open and his shirt not even covering his gut. Ugh. Also, it's not "arr-ser-us" it's "arr-kay-us". If you're gonna be a Nintendo fanboy, at least get the name right. The name is Arceus so I'd get like "arr-see-us" but where did "arr-ser-us" come from? Meanwhile, yeah, Elden Ring was a new IP with an M rating. Of course it's going to have less of a target audience. Add to that it being made by FromSoft, aka the people who make hard games. Target shrinks more. It's that nuance that matters. But eh, this guy is mostly just there to laugh at so I'm glad we can do that. ^^
Uhh the reason frozen 2 didn't do as good as the first one was because the first one was released during a time where Disney + and the pandemic didn't exist frozen 2 came out during the pandemic at a time where people were not willing to go to the theaters due to restrictions and fear and were unwilling to get a Disney+ account that and the story for frozen 2 was good but not as captivating as the first one
I definitely agree, Legends Arceus really did kill my hype for Scarlet and Violet. Because Arceus just had amazing mechanics to it. But Violet and Scarlet are just... 3D pokemon. Nothing really "new". Just more pokemon.
This dude is forgetting something about pokemon, a lot of those fans bought both of those copies, meaning it's not 20 million unique people getting them
May be a bit unfair, but imo, if you haven't played the game you're making deep criticism videos about, then your opinion is null and void. Heck, I was like Joe, I knew the Souls franchise, but didn't really feel like playing it until Elden Ring came out. Then I tried Elden Ring and, even if I suck at them, I was hooked on the Souls franchise, bought all the ones I could play on the PS4 and played nothing but Souls for a whole year.
God help us with this guy who for some reason, is always in his pajamas. I am a fan of Nintendo games, but this guy is just... Also, even though I suck at Elden Ring and did not ever finish the game, but would much rather play that than the newest Pokemon games.
Pokèmon Arby's a game that looks like a early ps2 game runs like dogshit and looks like a cheap Unity asset flip. Poorly optimised is putting it lightly not counting the game breaking bugs, glitches etc.
He got filtered my Margit or the tree sentinel & was salty about it. Not to mention his take aged like goats milk seeing how much MORE Elden ring sold since this was made
The one thing he's probably right about is GRRM having an influence on the sales and while he may suck as a person and the series had a terrible last couple of seasons, the show is still something people like Definitely saw some people with characters named after GoT characters who summoned me for help in the first couple of months Elden Ring was out, warmed my heart to be able to help people who were new to the series They even timed the DLC release to the new season of HotD
As someone who doesn't like Bethesda RPGs I do have specific reasons why: I don't find the combat very rewarding and the difficulty of their games often feels artificial. I could go into the whys but the point is that it's ok to criticize a game you don't like so long as those criticisms are actual criticisms and not just you saying "THIS GAME SUCKS"
You know pokemon colosseum and ranger series was the last good pokemon games. Pokemon colosseeum started prepairing people for online iv battles. Someyhing the 3ds- switch games cant even say with there shotty net codes
The way my smile faded so fast when you said the evil within was bad, how dare you hate on the greatest survival horror game series of all time (its okay that you dont like the games but I will defend them until I die)
Dark souls is on the switch. Also whenever a game says souls like, complete lie, there hasnt been a single game that has mimicked Fromsoftwares games at all. When they say souls like it usually means its slightly more difficult than modern games. But they rather compare themselves to actual good games which is false advertisement to be honest.
I hate Elden ring and most of the souls games ip. Elden ring deserved game of the year and is one of the best games ever made. Well made and well shaped for the consumer. Only issue I have is I don’t like mechanics based on limitations if the enemy characters are clearly playing lies of p.
Pokemon scarlet and violet was complete crap on switch. Even on switch emulators its rough, The game has terrible optimization, there are good aspects of the game.
just saw this video and this video is from a year ago and this dud I found about him talking about other games that recently released and all I can say is this dude really needs to get off the internet for a year or two and get some help for really and get his meds
I mean I'm not coping or seething but elden ring isn't great. I've played it. It's like any other souls like / dark souls. There's thousands of them and they all play the same. Once u played one u played them all.
@@durshurrikun150You keep coping he's talking facts. Elden Ring is open world Dark Souls 2 the gameplay is the same as Dark Souls 3 there is nothing new aside from a mount and a dedicated jump button. It's basically what Dark Souls II set out to be
@@Legion849 Spoken like a true nintendo peasant Dark Souls 2 is nothing like Dark Souls 3, each souls game is different. Infact you get plenty of Dark Souls 3 players who first try ds2, get rekt and then complain that ds2 is bad because it doesn't work like DS3
-Infusions -Ashes of War -Open World -New Mechanics -New Weapon Classes -Different physics -F*cking jumping -New entire damn World and Characters -Mount and Horseback fights And a bunch of other specific, less obvious stuff but this ain't a grocery list.
Guys, Elden Ring won’t be remembered, it’s a fad. But Pokémon: Scarlet, Violet and Arceus, those, those will be preserved in amber and celebrated with reverence in the annals of human history.
As a Nintendo/Pokemon fan, I’d like to apologize for the absolute embarrassment that is this fanboy.
clearly.
Don’t apologize we don’t consider him apart as the Nintendo community.
I love Nintendo, but I don't work their shaft like this...
As a dark souls & Elden ring fanboy we accept the apology. Let’s all be friends
No need to apologize. This guy is not a fan. He’s a zealot. There’s a difference. He cannot be wrong. Which is of course not true. But that’s how he sees it. So don’t take him too seriously. You enjoy Nintendo all you like. Just don’t take it as far as he did.
Bro probably quit DS1 after losing to Pinwheel
Nah no way he reached pinwheel
No way in hell he got that far, that would require actually making it through the catacombs. He probably got filtered by the Taurus Demon. Or the fucking Asylum Demon
Lmao not pinwheel
Nah bro it was the asylum demon
The fact he unironically reads their financial reports
Fanboy absolutely loves talking about Nintendo games but can't fucking pronounce Arceus
its not even the same name lol. sounds like a generic fantasy mmorpg name
So in order to show that Elden Ring was a failure, he compared the sales to that of a new game in the bigest franchise ever? Yeah, that isn't the own he thinks it is.

One person buying both versions of the latest Pokemon (FOMO, completionism, buying for kids w/ siblings) is far more likely than one person buying two copies of Elden Ring for themself/their household.
"Your game only sold as well as the newest game from the largest multimedia franchise in history! TAKE THAT!"
The best part I like is that he outright admits that he was angry about elden ring 😂
This dude is the exact person you think would read the financials and be interested in it
I always wonder who really gave a damn about this kinda stuff beside the dev team and the people who employed them
@@LucciClubStudiosThe devs, shareholders, top executives and the CEO.
He hasn't played Elden Ring...yet he comments on it constantly..a game that his precious Switch doesn't have
you just named why he keeps complaining about it, the Switch doesn't have Elden Ring so he's coping.
Ah Harman Smith, the king of Nintendrones.
I thought Elden ring salt stopped being mined last year, but I guess somebody didn't have enough.
Did this guy really pull the "superior franchise is better than yours" with Pokemon of all things? Like yeah this series sells like hotcakes but the games are the Nintendo equivalent of call of duty in the sense that they are constantly pumped out with the quality getting increasingly bad with every release
He kind of comes right out and fixates on Elden Ring. That game is living rent free in his head.
Everything not Nintendo lives in his head rent free.
Does he think that Nintendo employ him? I'm honestly curious if that is how he operates day to day thinking that he's providing a service or something 🤣
Harman is either a troll or has some serious mental issues. I REFUSE to believe someone normal holds these opinions sincerely!
I like how he didn’t say how well Pokémon ran on the switch tho lmfao
The thing about his initial comment he fails to realise is that he is combining the sales numbers of Scarlet & Violet TOGETHER, now if you look at the sales of each individual game i.e Scarlet OR Violet I'd be willing to wager that Elden Ring outsold both. It's Ar-Cee-Us or if your a cultured person Arkoos.
At one point this neckbeard called it Olden Ring. Not sure if it was a jab or they started having a mini stroke.
The thing that is hilarious to me when it comes to him running his mouth about pokemon sales is that the number of units sold is for both games. Since pokemon is sticking with the archaic model 9f games have pokemon unique to that version it results in many people buying both versions.

"legends arceus" and he somehow adde a second r in there???
if I'm not mistaken, the entire souls saga (DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and SK) sold around 30 million... 30 million with 5 games (not counting demons souls) and more than 11 years of video games... and the fucking Elden Ring, 1 only video game sold in 1 year the equivalent of 66% of a whole decade of FS video games... It blows my mind that someone can say this is a failure without feeling stupid... god...
Only Nintendo fanboy worth even talking about is Harman Smith
....and to be honest, I'm not sure I'd say it's a positive
I like the Pokemon Arby's joke... made me giggle. As for getting old nahhhh put a smile on my face.
I loved how you accurately called out his mispronunciation of legends arceus without even hearing the title once. That's pretty funny
Oh the book guy is now a accountant and analyst. kids grow fast these days.
If this tells you anything, I'm not a pokemon fan but... Arby's kept my attention. I also emulated it. Didn't get to far though, I should continue it.
Wtf, I read the title and oh....I notice this is about Harman Smith.....dear god
I'm a big fan of both and I can't see how anyone can complain about one or the other about the sales
why doesnt he just you know play elden ring on the switch. oh wait
Dark Souls actually is on the Switch. And plays pretty well if you can live with 30fps.

When this dude hits 40 he is going to crumble under the weight of his life choices
man elden ring hasn't gone on sale yet
I want you to know that you compelled me to Google "Why is George RR Martin a douchenugget" and I have no regrets. Good day.
I always run out of popcorn watching a grown ass man like Harman bragging about games targeted to 5-7 y/o audiences.
Wow... this guy is just... so weird! I mean, firstly, have some pride! He's slouched on a couch with his eyes barely open and his shirt not even covering his gut. Ugh. Also, it's not "arr-ser-us" it's "arr-kay-us". If you're gonna be a Nintendo fanboy, at least get the name right. The name is Arceus so I'd get like "arr-see-us" but where did "arr-ser-us" come from?

He talks like he works for Nintendo.
i don't take any youtuber seriously when they are a fanboy and presenting themselves like that

The first dark souls is on the switch but that's about it.
He makes me feel he has nintendo stocks
I definitely agree, Legends Arceus really did kill my hype for Scarlet and Violet. Because Arceus just had amazing mechanics to it. But Violet and Scarlet are just... 3D pokemon. Nothing really "new". Just more pokemon.
Dragon Quest 11 is a good game, actually!
This dude is forgetting something about pokemon, a lot of those fans bought both of those copies, meaning it's not 20 million unique people getting them
Its funny how he tries to read from a script and still fails. His hair is receding faster than his fans 😅
he squints harder and harder so the truth blurs so hard it fits his narrative
Well, I know what I’m doing for lunch now.
Fat eyelids make you squint. When your cheekbones have a half-inch of fat on them, it's hard not to squint
Also didn't scarlet and violet go through a massive return wave cause the game was a buggy unoptimized mess?
This guys head would explode if someone told him breath of the wild sucked because you hit something a few times and your weapon breaks.
Fun fact right now, elden ring has 25M copies sold while pokemon Scarlet and Violet have 24M
May be a bit unfair, but imo, if you haven't played the game you're making deep criticism videos about, then your opinion is null and void.
Heck, I was like Joe, I knew the Souls franchise, but didn't really feel like playing it until Elden Ring came out. Then I tried Elden Ring and, even if I suck at them, I was hooked on the Souls franchise, bought all the ones I could play on the PS4 and played nothing but Souls for a whole year.
I wish he'd adjust his shirt a bit so we didn't have to look at his belly.
1:50 in frozen 2 they froze again
God help us with this guy who for some reason, is always in his pajamas.

4:59 what was #1 on Steam charts?
How do you say there are so many souls games while simultaneously Praising Pokemon... like what?
People pronounce it ar-see-us or ar-kay-us.
Hes adding a second r that isn't there
As of writing this is even funnier. Roll on June 2024
Ah yes, Pokémon Arby’s 🧐 A true testament to the power of the one true console… Nintendo switch. 🙏🏼 let us bask in its poorly optimized glory 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Pokèmon Arby's a game that looks like a early ps2 game runs like dogshit and looks like a cheap Unity asset flip. Poorly optimised is putting it lightly not counting the game breaking bugs, glitches etc.
Dragon quest inquisition 💀
As a Fallout fan, Bethesda's Fallout games absolutely suck. Okay, for Fallout 3, only its story sucks, but Fallout is a narrative-driven series.
What game are you playing?
Valorant.

By this guys logic, gtav should be considered the greatest game ever. Since it sold as much as the Nintendo games he listed combined
The truth is every pokemon sells well because of name alone, but lately, they've been hot garbage
Hi joe how are you
You know pokemon colosseum and ranger series was the last good pokemon games. Pokemon colosseeum started prepairing people for online iv battles. Someyhing the 3ds- switch games cant even say with there shotty net codes

I know im getting hate comments on this so yeah Elden Ring isnt a good game for many reasons if you played the game
...because...?
He's definitely pronouncing it wrong
It’s pronoun AR-KEE-US
Even though there’s no voice lines in the game it’s not hard to be read the name. I feel like he’s trolling dude.
