after reading various comments about how george r.r. martin really likes turtles, i would like to humbly apologize for assuming he didn't come up with the big pope hat turtle
Can the big snake boss actually kill you ?
He used to keep turtles and role play fantasy imaging them as knights when he was a young kid.
@@treymtz tthat's really fucking cute
@@treymtz god damn now I'm interested in A Song of Ice and Fire, my friend has the entire series from a discount and now I'm expecting some turtle character in the book series.
*TORTOISES*
Funnily enough George RR Martin does have certain infatuation with turtles and he had many as pets even going as far as to say "turtles have always been my sigil, I suppose."
So it isn't out of line to think that he really wanted the big turtle with the pope hat.
if i am not wrong, he even had a turtle as a pet cuz dogs were not allowed
They are tortoises.....not turtles.
@@btchiaintkidding7837 so that is the reason why everyone put dog massage in every turtle in this game
@@RedSoul001 tortoises are turtles
Who doesn't want tortle pope
Actually since it has horseriding, crafting, collecting butterflies and getting magic from killing dragons, Elden Ring is in fact the Skyrim of Dark Souls games.
Yeah.
FUS RO DAAAHHHHH
True
There's also shouts.
When you shout at your screen out of frustration after suffering your 163rd death.
@@liculle or the beasts roar ash of war that lets you shout at enemies until they die
"The bosses keep attacking your corpse" At first I found that funny and weird because most boss in dark souls stop attacking after you're dead... Then I fought Malenia and saw her regen to full life on my corpse and I understood why the game was coded this way.
explain my dude
cause I for one do not understand the gist
@@stefgen6394 Malenia can regain health when she hits you. So since bosses hit you even after you die you could potentially just watch her regenerate her entire health bar after she kills you
@@Memory_of_Light lol she literally healed back even though your characters dead
what about dead souls
Next level teabagging
@@stefgen6394 Yakuza Dead Souls is a mess, but it's the first game where Majima is playable and has some of his best character moments
Wait, that's not what we were talking about?
Malenia is trivialized when you spend 23h training to parry during the fight.
It took me 23h but now I can be named "let me parry her"
I mean for 23h I experienced true horror but it was worth it
but can you dodge waterfowl?
@@IWantAChocolatethere is no doding waterflow only running are praying it doesn’t hit
The amount of times I've gotten off of elden ring, and hopped back on because I happened to see someone online found a new weapon I'd never seen before and wanted is waaay too many and honestly I want it to keep happening, every time I think I found everything I find out there's more caves, or dungeons, or even weapons in a very niche area its a lot of fun
Yep, I am finally starting to watch the let's plays done by my favorite YTers now that I am far enough through the game, but unfortunately it makes me want to pause the video and boot my PS5 up again!
Same, I didn't realize the frost axe was in Liurnia until this vid and I'm all the way in the capital city
Y'all should check out the interactive map of you feel you've exhausted an area...it's nice to go back n snag stuff ya might have missed
That's been me yesterday after I took a long break from the game. I even discovered Yura and Patches by accident when I was looking for stuff to improve my Strength/Faith Build for my second character after respeccing the second one into Intelligence/Dexterity.
Elder ring is my first souls game. Sometimes it's pretty annoying to die over and over again, but i think that happens to the pros sometimes too. I love Elder ring and i think you don't have to play other souls games to understand how to play the game or to understand the story.
10/10 game
Yeah, people like lilaggy who stream souls games constantly die all the time to stupid shit lol, so one should never feel bad to dying to stupid stuff like that. You only have to beat the boss once to progress.
I love hearing newcomers' experiences. Especially when it's really nicely thought out and explained like this video. It actually makes me really glad to see a lot of people broaden the community, and I love how a lot of newer people are coming to learn that the Souls difficulty is all in the intent and the world you're playing in. Though as you said.... it doesn't stop the vitriolic "discourse".
Exactly and what I love the most is that every, single, person that pushes through the initial struggle says the same thing. "It really isn't that bad" or "I was so discouraged by their reputation but once I got it, it was so much fun and not at all impossible and masochistic". I just wish that the people complaining about difficulty every time FromSoft realeases a game would listen to these people. It IS part of the core experience and it feels great to "get it" for the first time.
Exactly why I love having people play any soulsborne game it's that tough and rewarding game play that makes me never stop loving fromsoft and i fucking love seeing new players grow into dark souls veterans who are reminding me of things I forgot about
Discourse is an extremely generous way to put it lol.
@@christhe5614 - A friend brought me into the fold in 2016 with Bloodborne, then I brought others. It's a wonderful feeling, seeing people evolve as players and exchanging stories about different bosses and areas and what they were like with different builds and gear 😌
@@AlkisGD that's what it's all about
Important trivia. In Demon's Souls the Cat Ring buff icon was a photograph of cat.
Once after clearing a dungeon, i had an insane number of runes on me, but not enough to level up.
Considering that if i die, i will loose them anyway, i decided to go to the merchant i found some time ago to spent them. Going to his location at night though, i was surprised he was nowhere to be found, and a few seconds after, a boss health bar appeared with the name "bell bearing Hunter".
That was one of the most terrifying experiences i've had in my recent videogame history.
(I play a lot of horror games as well, witch makes it even more impressive)
Definitely a game of the decade for me.
That's exactly how I discovered the nighttime exclusive bosses
Every time I have nearly enough runes to level up I just go to the war masters shack and slay giants for 1k runes each until I have enough.
I think I know which one you're talking about. That boss took me 3 and half hours to beat! When I beat him I was so excited and proud of myself but also so exhausted I immediately turned the game off without even looking at the items he gave me. I just wanted to rest
@@Mustafao300 huh, I was super overleveled when I fought him so I got him first try.
@@supercomputer0448 There are 4 bell-bearing hunters. Limgrave, Liurnia, Leyndell outskirts, and by far the hardest one in north Caelid.
I think that Elden Ring is in many ways probably the hardest Souls game in terms of enemy and boss design. But because of its non linearity, summons, and sheer amount of easily abusable strategies, it makes it (in my opinion) easily the most forgiving for new comers.
As a newcomer, I can say that From Software nailed making a game for newcomers like me.
Literally one my favorite games of all time now.
They nailed the open world aspect, and the combat is challengingly fun.
It also has incredible art direction, so that's a plus
Did you finish the game? I found the enemy scaling at the end to be awful
I really wish you could Play as a Vampire
@@khailils446 only for elphael.
@@khailils446 not really
@@khailils446 I feel this game offers less of direction of the previous games. Having played the previous 3 titles, I knew which stats I wanted to go for and when to upgrade what. Progression is a lot more linear. Generally if you felt you were being outscaled in this game you either had to explore further in a different part of a past area, or head to respec your stats and adjust/change your build
I don't know why your realization of the second tree sentinel fight was so funny to me, but I watched that part like 50 times it was too funny to me
15:41 Alright, lets do this:
Carry weight boost, Health boost, Defense boost, I always forget this one but I believe it means summoning available or active, Stake of Marika, Health up, Attack up, Spells up, Defense up, Heal over time active, Defense down, Consumable active.
I love how you have perfectly understood what makes this game and the series amazing, I have no doubt you will play the rest of the series cause they are unreal
The moment when I get into this game and play over 100 hrs and seeing someone else play and they're somewhere I've NEVER seen before lmao
Yeah literally happenned after my first two playthroughs and like 200 hours in the game, like their were dungeons and items i had literally no idea existed, even after liberal use of the wiki on my second playthrough
I kinda felt like that when I was around 60 hours in and found the 4 belfries for the first time and discovered crumbling farum aluza and realized how massive the map was. That and Juno Hoslows marker for the volcano manor quest
Elden Ring is by far the best game I have gotten in a long time, I normally spend $50 on a game then play it for five hours and move on, but with Elden Ring I keep getting pulled back for more, customization, unique battles, exploration and more.
elden ring was my first "serious" souls game(since before hand i played thymesia and demon's souls but for like 20 minutes each with no boss encounters), and i really didnt have a problem with getting into the game, i still play it to this day and im on my 6th run, elden ring is one of my favourite games
Red Dead 2 felt like very cool exploration and I loved the random events that can occur in game but it doesn’t always feel free, the story missions are extremely linear for example. Elden ring is so freeing, you can go wherever you want if you can see a place in the distance, you can probably go there
Elden Ring might steal a spot as one of my favorite games of all time.
If Elden Ring grabbed you by the neck and held you there lovingly, I highly suggest Bloodborne. Its a lot more linear than Elden Ring, but artistically unmatched. Personally one of my favorite games of all time. Its kinda hard depending on how you play it but its a treat to play + worth the pain.
I think one of the best Elden Ring videos on youtube.
Me and my brother went to target and bought the game, we were not even out of middle school, the cashier legitimately was worried about us. I beat the game after 105 hours and didn’t get angry once.
It's been amazing for me to watch this series grow since Demon's Souls came out. That game's difficulty was tempered because you could easily leave a level and switch to four different levels and bash your head against those instead. Elden Ring has taken that concept and done it a hundred times better.
I am late, but I have never played a souls game and I went into elden ring, and aside from learning how to get good for the first few bosses it was quite easy, you just have to learn to keep on going and give that boss 1000000 tries and you'll always win, but most of the time its more like 10-15 tries and if the boss is feeling too hard there are some op builds that can shred them if you really want to use them, so its not so hard it feels unfair but its hard enough to be a souls game, if you die once and immediately quit you'll never win and you just have to keep going, death after death until you get that final blow and you win and it will be so rewarding, plus the fighting along the way will be fun too, don't be afraid to try it just don't give up.
From my own experience, I've made progress in Elden Ring, but I still haven't gotten past the Fire Giant, and it takes forever and a half to gather runes. The earlier Souls games and Bloodborne gradually build up how many souls or blood echos you get at each stage of the game, which allows you to grow at a similar rate at each section. The only reason I've gotten to Level 102 in Elden Ring is because I spent hours grinding levels. In the older Souls games, you never really had to do that, maybe just a little to grind up 3 or 4 extra levels. But Elden Ring got me to grind up 20, 25, 30, 35 levels because places like Caelid remain hard and hell to traverse even during the late game.
Admittedly, my boyfriend has taken to Elden Ring really well when the Bloodborne held them back. But that being said, I think if you can pick up how to play the earlier games without much trouble, they can be a more forgiving experience. Personally, I'd recommend anyone try to play Dark Souls 1 first, and if you can't get through it very well, then shift over to Elden Ring, because if one doesn't work for you, I think the other will. Late game play for either, though, is probably going to be equally tough.
I love the hints you can buy from merchants, for example theres a hidden merchant at the southern end of the limgrave beach under building debris, he will sell you a note that tells you that the weakness of stonedigger trolls is the head, and after that I ended up finding a stone trigger troll and one little dink to the head with an arrow staggers him (along with all the regular trolls as well), there are hints in the game if you try to find them and its pretty cool.
4:18 - I will say, I feel like this is a misconception. This area is a fairly low-level one imo, but that _specific enemy type_ is very tanky. Feels like a lot of people fight one and assume they should come back later.
Seeing a Dragalia Lost pull in this video genuinely hurt my soul. God i miss that game
George R.R. Martin definitely came up with the giant pope turtle idea. He loves turtles and uses them frequently in his other work (Wild Cards and the Thousand Worlds series).
Just run around and explore. I loved that in Xenoblade X, I loved that in BotW and now I'm loving that in Eldenring.
I really love exploration games with good combat systems.
This was my first souls game, and I wasn’t sure I was going to like it because I play literally everything on easy 😂 but I totally agree about the “itch,” it REALLY itches! I couldn’t stop going back and here i am 100+ hours later still going strong.
I wish that this game had some sort of quest tracker I don’t want the game to hold my hand but at least a notebook that tells you what a npc said, I bet I have like 3 quest that I just forgot about and if I accidentally skip a important npc dialog about a quest welp time to visit google
Just started my 3rd playthrough... I just can't stop playing it help
the first time i played elden ring, i beat margit the bell omen at leven 15 after countless attempts because i didnt know you could just skip the castle and i felt really stupid after finding the path around it
14:58 aint no way anyone sneakin wit that type of weapon
"Elden ring is not genshin impact"
Mogh: *Are you sure about that?*
Elden Ring is my first souls game and my first formsoft game, and typically I'll drop an rpg after 2-3 play sessions because I'm just tired of the repetitive motion, but I can play the same boss for 4 hours straight and still be entertained
This game is amazing, never did I think Id wake up and spend 10 hours straight on a souls game. (Yes i did eat through the course of it)
I wish people would say “maidenless loser” instead of “lonely loser”
Elden Ring is my first souls game, and I like it a lot, except the times where I think i'm safe collecting stuff and a damn DEMON BIRD THING comes for my neck, but other than that it's a good time.
The "coming back later factor" really made spend hours confused, bcause i didnt know if i was underleveled or it was just my trash ass skills
Another point for me is that even if I spent like 5 hours aimlessly exploring, it doesn't feel boring or pointless. I'll run into new dungeons or enemies and I feel like I'm progressing despite not progressing the story. 250 hours in and I just started my ng+ xD
Wow a veteran like me wouldn't said it any better GG & welcome to the family Tarnish...
It’s absolutely the most accessible. ER was my first souls game and I’m midway through with my last and soon I’ll have played them all. It was a rude awakening to find out how much harder the others were!!
I don't know why but I have recently become addicted to elden ring reviews like it just feels good to here other praise the game you like or point out the problems you agree with.
I'd say it's the best first souls game because if a obstacle is too challenging you can just go and do something else or grind and get stronger so you can just muscle your way through any challenge
My issue with Elden Ring is that I am never sure if I'm struggling with a boss because I'm crap, or if I shouldn't be there yet. Then I'll go off to find other things to do to level up, and I'm just stomping on stuff. The difficulty feels all over the place to me. I get why people love it though.
I have played every souls game before from fromsoft with Bloodborne being my all time favorite. I put 180 hours into my first playthrough of Elden Ring and got my first Platinum ever. Needless to say I love this game and even tho I'm familiar with suffering in these games in general I loved being able to just run somewhere else when I felt like beating my head against a wall too much and come back later better prepared. Also and this is something I don't feel with many open world games or any game for that matter. I wanted to explore EVERYTHING. Everything looked intriguing and i wanted to see what is on the horizon and what it might mean in the grand scheme of the absolute stunning lore. Great achievement and i hope I'll encounter more games that spark the sense of adventure like Elden Ring did. Great content as always. Thank you man :) much love from Germany!
Every GameStop employee at my town straight up WARNED ME about Elden Ring to even giving me the history of the game’s release. After they went through the other title I wanted which was Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice they all looked at me in a worrisome fashion 😳
As a souls/borne player, I definetly think it is a more accessible game for people who want to get into the genre where a lot of it depends on open world and the fact you can use summons without the Boss HP doubling.
Elden ring is my third souls game ive played blood born and dark souls 3, i never beat them because i was young. Now I know what im doing, this game was a great way to learn how to play souls games even if they dont have turrent summons or multiplayer, 10/10 from a first timer
Shines a light on why I "fell out" of fallout 4. It was basically kill everyone, kill one faction or the other, or destroy the machines. And even though most places were "different" it was really only as far as environment. From soft adds enemies and twists routes when recycling designs in a way that transforms it in a refreshing way.
“I don’t know if I could conceptualize a video game that everyone would like”
idk man, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say they didn’t like the Portal games.
11:27 poor dog :(
Started my first playyhrough about a week ago. Now I'm to the point I can nearly best Malenia in a sword duel.
As of this moment, I use no spells, no summons, no spirit ashes, and no non
-cool looking armor. I'll have most likely beaten her in the next couple days
Rise, tarnished
George RR Martin 100% created that beeg turtle with a pope hat. Man loves his turtles
I didn't even know that icon meant you can summon spirits, lmfao thanks for that
"How much free-time do yall have!"
Us- "Yes, thy answer is yes."
My first FromSoftware game was Sekiro.
I originally wanted to play Ghost of Tsushima, but I've an Xbox and Sekiro looked similar enough to it that I just bought it. Boi was I wrong.
I didn't know the name FromSoftware at the time, so yeah. My first FromSoft game was purely accidental, but I recommend it a lot.
5:10 It took me over 200 hours to beat the game and explore almost everything and then I learned that there were *A Lot* of things that I didn't actually even touch yet. I love it.
Playing this game without player messages is a completely different experience. Everytime I've done so, I immediately miss the dog messages or the warnings of ambushes to come.
nobody tell him that getting the hug debuffs your health
Another banger video Yakko! Currently around 210 hours into the game, I love helping people with co-op c:
As a kid that is still going to school I have always heard about people sharing secrets and interesting things about games with their friends during lunch. Elden ring finally let me experience that.
While I do find some of the "babies first fromsoft game" bits cute, I genuinely feel in my heart of hearts that the people who get the most from these games are people who have never played them before.
My first experience was a fucking trial, but by the end I loved it.
Edit: I'm also a fan of the music you chose for the background when mentioning "the dance"
Yes it definitely is. The freedom to power level or simply skip and do something else makes it much more first time friendly than the others
If you are scared to try this game out and wanna try it out, maybe get on discord and into a Elden Ring community and get the game and ask someone to give you Bloodhound step weapon, or just go mage or both if you want to be a untouchable god (in pve) that can nuke every boss.
Welcome to FromSoftware my friend. Great review! Love when new players truly understand what it means to git gud.
It is my first souls game and I fucking love it
even if it seems easy some times
It sure felt difficult in others
The only gripe I had with the video was when you said you didn't realize what the spirit summoning sign was. Upon unlocking the spirit calling bell it tells you that only special areas marked with that symbol allow you to spirit summon. In fact any new player who completely chooses to skip through the tips/tutorials (if they chose to) they can always go into the pause button and somewhere in that menu you're allowed to re-read any of the tips given to you throughout the game. Other than that, I thought this was extremely well thought out and articulated very well.
Edit: For clarification, I have never played a DS game before and Elden ring was my very first. At first I was very overwhelmed by the immense amount of things you can do. But then I realized you have the full ability to choose what you want to do and how to play the game. You can run pass any enemy straight to the boss of an area if you've 1. already explored the whole area and either die or revisit a grace to respawn the enemies, or 2. you died at the boss and you have to make the run again if there's no respawn point by. But by exploring and learning and actually taking the time to figure things out, the game rewards you with an experience that is completely yours. You can choose however you want to build, you can choose to do any side quests for anything you want. Even a lot of the areas are optional, The Haligtree, The Palace of Blood, Nokron and Nokstella could also be considered optional because you'd have to take Ranni's quest in order to get there and would otherwise have no real purpose of going there unless you wanted some items from there. In my personal opinion the non-linear path can be really confusing and disorienting for new players, I knew it was for me, but there's also so many videos and guides out there to help. In the end, Elden ring is what you make of it, you can choose to make it difficult and challenging for yourself or you can choose to make things easier.
Elden ring is the definition of “how to make a good open world game/game in general”
I know this was posted a year ago, but I feel this was posted especially for me.
Thank you. ❤
An elden ring video with sonic adventure 2 music in the background. Yup, i'm subscribing lmao
Dark Souls fans are now experiencing what us Morrowind and Daggerfall fans experienced when Skyrim got super popular.
I tried to play bloodborne as my first souls game and let me tell you I was not ready for how difficult it was, it took me hours just to beat the first boss.
Comin from bloodborne as my “first” souls game, I say that cause I abuse the chalices for echoes and cheese bosses, I was somewhat intrigued on elden ring and if it’s a souls game for me. Watching your review and I’m kinda in the same boat as you I’m gonna get it.
Yakko when he makes a video on dark souls: Dark souls is the dark souls of dark souls! **gunshot**
Elden Ring was my first fromsoft game and I did get frustrated to the point I would cry sometimes but I did. I beat it, but after getting most of the trophies in my first playthrough I thought why not complete the game. After doing 2 additional playthroughs, I had completed it. I’m still surprised I haven’t broken my controller or made a hole through the wall
Elden ring is my first souls game. Very challenging yeah but with some TH-cam guidance I’m really enjoying it
I beat radahn right at the start of the game and it made me value that profile vs going the intended route
It's crazy how elden ring is both the easiest and hardest piece of soul media after the DLC
The first Fromsoft game I got was Bloodborne, I tried for 45 minutes to get past the very first area with the mob. I said F this and brought it back to GameStop. Fast forward 3 years it was on sale and I said F it ima try again! I watched a few walk-throughs and once I understood the mechanics it became my #1 of all time. So naturally I dug into the rest of the Fromsoft catalog and each title was so refreshing its really the only games I play now (over and over again) Sekiro, the Dark Souls trilogy and now Elden Ring (2nd playthrough) I highly recommend visiting the other titles for the same thrill of accomplishment. The interconnectivity of the game area helps not having a open world.
I haven't played through any of the souls games before, but I had just finished Immortals: Fenyx Rising, and Elden Ring definitely filled the open world hole in my heart that Fenyx left. I had stayed away from dark souls because it wasn't worth the frustration in my eyes, but with Elden Ring, I love that I can come back to things later and that there are so many different kinds of weapons, spells, and ashes of war that each fight can be done with a different approach and each person's loadout feels special. I do feel in retrospect that as a person with no prior souls game experience I should have gone with a shield or spells but between status effects and summons I haven't really gotten frustrated with bosses
I really wanted to be the first in the game at sth when it came out. And since I wouldn't be the first guy defeating any boss, I climed the massive tree in Caelid with torret all the way to the top. It took 3.5 hours but aparrently you can't do it anymore and if noone has proof of them doing it I might just be the only person who ever got there legitimately. :) Kinda feels nice.
We have similar taste in games and was on the fence with Elden Ring since I’m aware of the reputation of souls games, but I think I’ll give this a shot.
Loved this game. I've played most of From Soft's fantasy titles, and Elden Ring is a strong title. There are things that I don't like, but now I wanna replay it
Ironically enough, the giant turtle wearing a pope hat is very likely a George RR Martin's idea. XD
Dude LOOOVES turtles.
Yeah your review was great but your outro music is so good I actually did subscribe
It is a cardinal sin that Bloodborne is an exclusive as it means less people have access to it. It is genuinely such an amazing piece of fiction and the fast paced combat teaches you lessons for all of these games
Sekiro was my first by FromSoftware and I love it the most. Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3 were both really cool too.
I knew the game was going to have issues on PC when they opened pre-orders but still didn't have the minimum system requirements posted, and then it was literally going on a week from release and they still had not updated the minimum specs. Everybody else probably wasn't checking that close and they shouldn't need to, but I just had a bad feeling. Glad that I was in a position to be able to get it for the PS4 instead, but that doesn't make it any less terrible
its definitely just me, but i tried Elden Ring, and i didn't really feel it click with me. i then tried some of the other souls games, (ds1, sekiro, etc.) and it was super engaging. (i especially liked sekiro because parrying is sick as hell but i digress) im an outlier most likely, but i much prefer a more straight forward narrative. unlike most people, open worlds feel overwhelming to me, like i have so much stuff to do that it becomes frustrating. that could just be me and my simple minded self, but it rots a hole through my brain.
tl;dr: if you love open world games, and dont mind challenge, play Elden Ring. you'll enjoy it.
Can't believe you would ever hurt dog.
Elden Ring might not be My GOTY but i sure hads some great times with that game (alone & with friends)
Elden ring is my first "dark souls" like game and I enjoy it quite a bit. My one nitpick is the multiplayer, I have a friend who was showing me the ropes and helping me a little and the invading shit is fucking annoying, every 5 minutes I die cause I'm new and we have to reset the summon sign and start all over again just for another 5 minutes to pass by and it all happens again. Sometimes we spend 45 minutes to an hour and we literally progressed 10 minutes of the game, its very frustrating.
I always do fresh runs, ng+ is fun if u wanna run thru mostly just bosses. Im an old schhool rpg turn based player, so i collect every item and weapon on every run. Just fun to me like that. My playthroughs take about 2 weeks
for anyone reading this - DO NOT LET HER HOLD YOU. We are tarnished and maidenless and no hasben dommy mommy will take that from us.
16:30 In the words of Johan Pilestedt, "a game for everyone is a game for no one."
Im sooo glad he mentioned the journal thing. Its so important. Playing Elden Ring before FextraLife had all of the wiki info, going through the world and realizing, holy shit i need to write this down!
Even as someone who has played every single souls game to absolute exhaustion before elden ring, doing this was one of the most magical experiences ive ever had in a video game.
Who will tell him that the Game of Thrones creator also worked on Elden Ring?
