Those giant hands are only dangerous if you didnt know where it was, the human centipede on the other hand........ my only advice is dont go to the base of haligtree in the bottom of the city, i would fight knights, trolls and dragons but that thing... its scares me
My first from software game. Got a very nice atmosphere, challenging and fun boss fights. Took me 170 hours to finish. I like to explore and finished the haligtree as well. Played as a mage quite nice if you prefer some distance.
@@uajrh1 that gets me in tear when i see this, those message in elden ring are actualy the funniest thing, every fromsoft game gets more and more crazy with those messages possibilities !
So, i'm legitimately impressed at just how MASSIVE the world of Elden Ring is. I'm not kidding. It practically beats out most MMORPG's. There's a staggering amount of stuff to do and explore.
I think the funniest part was how when me and friends got past godrick then opened our maps and everytime went "what do you mean theres more" it felt like the more explore the more gets added......then the underground happens.
It still has copy paste issue in the later half of the game but its relatively less than most open world games I have played , Some enemies like Deathbird variations or Glinstone dragons have different unique movesets alongside already seen one , Most of the unique Dragon fights actually takes place during later half like Placidusax , Fortissax or Lansseax Even though Godskin duo or Erd tree avatar felt lazy or a lot of optional dungeons have duo boss that just felt out of place , thank god there is a respec option because I did change my build multiple times as some of the bosses felt unfair for melee build , Overall From software did pretty amazing job considering its their first attempt at creating this large scale diverse seamless environments
Seriously, this game taught me so much about patient gaming. I couldn't beat SIFU, then started playing Elden Ring, and went back to Sifu and tore through it.
Funny I watched a co-op guy get insta-killed by a crab. Didn't know you can-t save them during the animation. Its horrific and hilarious at the same time.
Radahn's horse lore is the only thing that sticks in my mind out of all the nonsense lore cause its just so adorable making me instantly get over the uncountable number of deaths to this boss. Also Patches showing up to that fight to leaving with outd doing anything was hilarious.
We actually benefit against the last boss with our build since the cosmic pet moves a lot and getting a good heavy flat 1 hit is so good enough before another bullet hell session.
That last part hit me about the crabs and lobsters. I think I accidentally spec'd completely to fight one crab on a beach somewhere just to grind for souls. I killed him so many times, he's not a threat to me anymore he just gives a thousand runes. I named him gerald. "Hi gerald! I'm here to murder you and your children again and harvest eggs I don't need!". Problem is that now my dude kind of only works well against crabs.
"Hitting every wall in case they are an illusion" there's this one dungeon with boatloads of illusionary walls, really satisfying hitting every single one of them
There were a couple I encountered. That was 100 hrs ago however and cannot tell you a single name haha. Beware there are some ruins that have hidden floors hidden cellar entrances that can be opened with jump attacks
Yep. Elden ring and horizon both did great numbers sales wise so far but elden ring has surpassed every from game so far. I'm so proud of from coming from such a relatively niche backround prior to demons souls. The days of ninja blade are long past them
@@V-Jes Nobody is insecure, it just brings to light a glaring problem with the game industry specifically with many developers from major gaming companies. They think they know best, when they've been producing the same generic copy paste games for the last 15 years that people are tired of. Their negative response to Elden Ring's success is and should be worrying to gamers who want innovation in their future games.
@@V-Jes A game developer for a company shouldn't get upset over another company's success and start crying about it on Twitter, especially when both games are good. It makes them and the company they work for look bad.
@@V-Jes I think those devs/companies got the exact response they deserved. When you speak on twitter like that and have the positions they have, it is basically coming from the company. They sounded like little kids who turned in a less impressive project and are upset everyone isn't gripped to what they brought in. I think they should have just taken it as a learning moment instead of crossing their arms and huffing about small things that don't take away from the experience of the game.
There's usually a couple things that could be debatable in these videos, like nearly any video ever, but I think this one legitimately covered every aspect of this game perfectly. Even the sense of "Am I a masochist at this point? No. It's everyone else that's the problem."
Yeah especially the crying part since it's during the time Radahn is riding his horse he gets the player everytime due to his reach and distance from the player ever increasing making Roly-Poly useless.
Funny thing: Supposedly some Japanese players saw all the "Fort, night" messages and thought they were cryptic clues about a secret boss at night at one of the forts in game and were going crazy trying to find it, not realizing it was western players making Fortnite memes.

@@olicc weak build then. You need to Google the boss, see his dmg negation vs different types of dmg. Holy Fire Blood Physical Magic Etc You might be hitting him with a type of dmg that he is reducing by 80% My best advice is go dual wield twinblade, you can alternate between fire, lightning, holy, blood, poisen, Frost or pure physical dmg simply by switching ashes on your twinblades. This will make all the difference, having the correct type of dmg for each boss. Example being, Elden beast (the last boss) is immune to all status effects (blood loss, rot, frost, poisen) Insane negation of fire, lightning and magic. Hitting him with holy DMG actually heals him. The only dmg type that wont be completely negated here is pure physical dmg. Therefore you need quality, heavy or keen ash on your twinblade, getting the strength / Dex scaling as high as possible, to have the highest amount of physical attack power possible. This way your actual dmg output won't be completely nerfed. And really - most of the time if you're finding a boss to be impossible, it's simply because you're using a dmg-type that the specific boss will reduce by 70%
@@Lasse3 good tips but I was doing plenty of damage. My issue was avoiding damage. I know the fight backwards and forwards after doing it 100+ times. Know all the combos and tells. But seemed like some BS would always happen. I could go on and on about it... but I'm sure the general consensus from the community is "get good" or whatever. I killed him yesterday though.

@@youmessedup7758 I'm still on my first playthrough. I already played 70 hours and I still haven't uncovered the whole map. It took me about 30 hours to venture out of Limgrave, because I was always finding something new just in this starting area. It's incredible.
Honestly the single most important strategy in the game. Without this, we'd all be banging our heads against Margit at level 8 or something, over and over... which would be a bad time, even compared to just Margit in general.

"Elden Finger ring, but hole" is something you'll only get if you play the game. The first twenty times I saw the message, I thought it had some sort of cryptic meaning. Then it dawned on me...
the lobsters are one of the most absolutely terrifying enemies in this game. They are top 5 nightmare fuel for me. Just the way they absolutely hammer you with those pincers is so brutal and just painful looking like when those things kill me each time Im like "got dayum". They kill you like you did simething to them in a previous life.
You forgot to mention the part when you're planning to explore some area, only to forget it for days until you randomly remember that you haven't explored that part yet because you get distracted by some random ruins and caves Or maybe that's just me...
Well its the internet. Where someone will call anything a spoiler. I could just say "the sky is red in caelid" or "theres a boss named astel" and thats enough for some people
I would say because it shows a bunch of enemy types some people might consider that light spoilers since I think a lot of the fun of these games are just discovering the crazy enemies that you encounter
i once countered someone saying that fighting a boss doesn't actually do what they were claiming and they said it was a spoiler that i said i fought the boss
@@vVAstrAVv Not really. Those are still normal spoilers, not any "internet spoilers". But then again, if you are so concerned about spoilers, what are you doing looking at a video about them lol
From the swamp lord himself: "I know how people feel about them but I suddenly realize I'm in the middle of making one and I can't help myself. It just happens." Hidetaka Miyazaki
@@zeyadgabr8682 it is. An interview ended up question about the swamp areas which most players hate and so he responded like that. He just likes us to suffer basicly :D
Elden ring really made me appreciate hard games. Because there is no difficulty levels until new games + had made me into a more patient gamer. It just really bring back the feeling of playing 90s game that actually took skills.
No games weren't hard until Miyazaki made them that is the gospel. There's also no such thing as a bad camera angle, frame rate caps, or bad hot boxes those are all just skill issues
I lost it at “kink shaming” 🤣🤣. On a side note this game is a masterpiece. It took all the good elements of the soulsbourne/sekiro mechanics and jammed it into this work of art. Not to mention the vastness and stunning visuals of the elden ring world. Exploration has never been this fun.
"Crush your ego on the alter of some horrible construct" Is probably the most intimidating yet awe inspiring way to describe a game, let alone this one
I think the success of this game comes from the backlash of a good 15 or so years where games held your hand for you. This game doesn’t. It breaks it off and beats you with it. Love it
Its success is mainly caused by the huge marketing campaign they did for a couple of yrs.. The fact that the game doesn't hold your hands is good, but the fact that it doesn't explain basically anything at all sucks more than a ho
The funniest and saddest thing i have seen is when you see a player blood and see how they died and it was just them miss stepping on a ledge and falling to there doom.

@@bigshoednappa8678 my child have you ever heard of the screaming mutliple hands teleporting human centipede ? Those giant hands are only dangerous if you didnt know where it was, the human centipede on the other hand........ my only advice is dont go to the base of haligtree in the bottom of the city, i would fight knights, trolls and dragons but that thing... its scares me
@@grade3328 Heal spells do big damage and stance break those.
My first from software game. Got a very nice atmosphere, challenging and fun boss fights. Took me 170 hours to finish. I like to explore and finished the haligtree as well. Played as a mage quite nice if you prefer some distance.

Radahn's lore has to be the sweatest thing in a fromsoft game, he learned magic only to ride on his horse because he accidentally grew too big.
"only to ride on his horse because it accidentally became smol" ftfy
true luv
not only any kidn of magic, but gravitasional magic the more complex and powerful magic of all xD
He also eats people...
I've read that but can't find where that lore is explained. Where can I read that?
So, i'm legitimately impressed at just how MASSIVE the world of Elden Ring is. I'm not kidding. It practically beats out most MMORPG's. There's a staggering amount of stuff to do and explore.
There is a downside - its only that big 1st half of the game. Its gettin pretty narrow post Liurnia.
I think the funniest part was how when me and friends got past godrick then opened our maps and everytime went "what do you mean theres more" it felt like the more explore the more gets added......then the underground happens.
Still no endgame unfortunatly. Once you you beat it, perfect the build and do some PvP the game goes on the shelf. Hope they add something else.
It still has copy paste issue in the later half of the game but its relatively less than most open world games I have played ,
Some enemies like Deathbird variations or Glinstone dragons have different unique movesets alongside already seen one ,
Most of the unique Dragon fights actually takes place during later half like Placidusax , Fortissax or Lansseax
Even though Godskin duo or Erd tree avatar felt lazy or a lot of optional dungeons have duo boss that just felt out of place , thank god there is a respec option because I did change my build multiple times as some of the bosses felt unfair for melee build ,
Overall From software did pretty amazing job considering its their first attempt at creating this large scale diverse seamless environments
@@liamnissanS2K Sounds just like any other single player game. You play it, you finish it, and that's it. You enjoyed it.

Radahn's horse lore is the only thing that sticks in my mind out of all the nonsense lore cause its just so adorable making me instantly get over the uncountable number of deaths to this boss. Also Patches showing up to that fight to leaving with outd doing anything was hilarious.

That last part hit me about the crabs and lobsters. I think I accidentally spec'd completely to fight one crab on a beach somewhere just to grind for souls. I killed him so many times, he's not a threat to me anymore he just gives a thousand runes. I named him gerald. "Hi gerald! I'm here to murder you and your children again and harvest eggs I don't need!". Problem is that now my dude kind of only works well against crabs.

The response from the other developers to this game is hilarious. Good to see gamers showing what they like with their voices and their dollar.
Yep. Elden ring and horizon both did great numbers sales wise so far but elden ring has surpassed every from game so far. I'm so proud of from coming from such a relatively niche backround prior to demons souls. The days of ninja blade are long past them
@@V-Jes do you even know what "insecurity" means?
@@V-Jes Nobody is insecure, it just brings to light a glaring problem with the game industry specifically with many developers from major gaming companies. They think they know best, when they've been producing the same generic copy paste games for the last 15 years that people are tired of. Their negative response to Elden Ring's success is and should be worrying to gamers who want innovation in their future games.
@@V-Jes A game developer for a company shouldn't get upset over another company's success and start crying about it on Twitter, especially when both games are good. It makes them and the company they work for look bad.
@@V-Jes I think those devs/companies got the exact response they deserved. When you speak on twitter like that and have the positions they have, it is basically coming from the company. They sounded like little kids who turned in a less impressive project and are upset everyone isn't gripped to what they brought in. I think they should have just taken it as a learning moment instead of crossing their arms and huffing about small things that don't take away from the experience of the game.
"Roll around like you're on fire" "hitting every wall incase there's an illusion" hits hard!! That's what I do most of the time🤣
There's usually a couple things that could be debatable in these videos, like nearly any video ever, but I think this one legitimately covered every aspect of this game perfectly. Even the sense of "Am I a masochist at this point? No. It's everyone else that's the problem."
“Laughing at Radahn's Ridiculous Horse, Crying around Radahn's Ridiculous Horse” sooo true LMAO 🤣
Yeah especially the crying part since it's during the time Radahn is riding his horse he gets the player everytime due to his reach and distance from the player ever increasing making Roly-Poly useless.

Funny thing: Supposedly some Japanese players saw all the "Fort, night" messages and thought they were cryptic clues about a secret boss at night at one of the forts in game and were going crazy trying to find it, not realizing it was western players making Fortnite memes.

@@olicc weak build then.
You need to Google the boss, see his dmg negation vs different types of dmg.
Holy
Fire
Blood
Physical
Magic
Etc
You might be hitting him with a type of dmg that he is reducing by 80%
My best advice is go dual wield twinblade, you can alternate between fire, lightning, holy, blood, poisen, Frost or pure physical dmg simply by switching ashes on your twinblades.
This will make all the difference, having the correct type of dmg for each boss.
Example being, Elden beast (the last boss) is immune to all status effects (blood loss, rot, frost, poisen)
Insane negation of fire, lightning and magic.
Hitting him with holy DMG actually heals him.
The only dmg type that wont be completely negated here is pure physical dmg.
Therefore you need quality, heavy or keen ash on your twinblade, getting the strength / Dex scaling as high as possible, to have the highest amount of physical attack power possible.
This way your actual dmg output won't be completely nerfed.
And really - most of the time if you're finding a boss to be impossible, it's simply because you're using a dmg-type that the specific boss will reduce by 70%
@@Lasse3 good tips but I was doing plenty of damage. My issue was avoiding damage. I know the fight backwards and forwards after doing it 100+ times. Know all the combos and tells.

“Collecting all the weapons for the builds you don’t have” ahhh my favorite part about playing
“The true genius of Elden Ring. As you pack it up and go somewhere else for a while!” Lol literally do this almost every night.

On a side note this game is a masterpiece. It took all the good elements of the soulsbourne/sekiro mechanics and jammed it into this work of art. Not to mention the vastness and stunning visuals of the elden ring world. Exploration has never been this fun.

I think the success of this game comes from the backlash of a good 15 or so years where games held your hand for you. This game doesn’t. It breaks it off and beats you with it. Love it
Its success is mainly caused by the huge marketing campaign they did for a couple of yrs..
The fact that the game doesn't hold your hands is good, but the fact that it doesn't explain basically anything at all sucks more than a ho
In Elden ring terms: it cuts off your hand, beats you to death with it, then snaps off the fingers and makes you finger, but hole.
There is a leg that is broken off, while we at it....in game.
