the further past bloodborne we get, the more and more you can feel lady maria's influence in the later games. she was the start of it, the abyss watchers took that and modified it, and now everyone leaves glowing trails when they move and swing.
@@omegabright-hawk1794 I think they were referring to damaging trails in particular, which was pioneered through Lady Maria. Ciaran's trails were purely visual.
How caleb reacted to arcane just made me need the bloodborne playthrough that much more, too bad about the spooders, hopefully one day Jacob will take on the task
I vaguely recall caleb mentioning that getting a console integrated into their setup would be a challenge not necessarily that they dont have access to one, although if they can get a ps5 in with an account that has ps plus they would be able to download and play it at no extra cost
I'm really excited for how Elden Ring's story is gonna "feel" differently from Dark Souls & From's other games. They've mentioned that the lore formula will mostly stay the same, but the story will also be easier to follow w/ characters & NPCs playing a more active role. Which could be a really interesting change in the overall Soulsborne storytelling format! They also said that they want the main bosses to have this noble edge to them even tho they're corrupted, which is odd because a lot of From's existing bosses are already like that? So maybe ER's are even more sympathetic/characterized???
I do want to point out that there was that dragon flame pyromancy earlier in the video, and the boss at the end had the same dragon as a hand. I bet that's a possible drop from the boss, or some kind of transposing similar to DS3?
I would say either you have to fall pretty far to take health damage- or its more of a system where a drop does nothing - or over a certain height, kills you.
lmfaooo, thats one hell of a turnoff my man 😂😂. Being serious though, apparently theyre not planning on getting a playstation, so unless it comes to PC they might just never play it
I was the same I preordered after the trailer but more or less bc I am addicted to figures atm and I really wanted the figure xd I do not care about the helmet though I only bought the normal collectors
The introduction of jumping mechanic makes me think there might be possible boss moves that can only be 'dodged' via jumping. Just a possibility/thought. ;)
I imagine Arcane ups magic damage while faith and Int are just magical requirements, But im super curious what "Mind" stats does, probably attunement? Unless Arcane is attunement.
You are really right I’m really liking the look bc it feels like those DS2 elements so hype

I never pre-order, I rarely pay full price for a game. Oh it's a FromSoftware game! And it's... Ugh... It looks fantastic! *.* I must resist! Loved Sekiro, Dark Souls is fun in its unique way... Damn, can't wait!
Can anyone clarify what game he's playing next? I watched the stream but I didn't quite catch what he's playing next. I was hoping Sekiro would be next.
Sekiro is WAY harder than the DS games- depending how good your reactions are. You dont really have lots of options like in DS- its all about super fast combat and parries, so if thats a type of combat you cant do or dont like then the game wont land well with you. TBH its NOT my type of combat- and i barely managed to beat it with a lot of difficulty- so i didnt enjoy it as much as DS- but its still a great game. A person who is more combat experience focused and good at parrying might well love it more than DS. The environments, monsters etc are all as great as always. Bloodborne is maybe their best work- but with the rumors of a 60fps remaster I'd wait to see if that happens.
6:31 Yeah I’m also really happy for the dark souls 2 guys, they get to play an actually good game and I know they don’t get to do that often. Good on them.
To be fair, fromsoft have a spotless record of many insanely good games after another. You cant say they rushed either. From is the only developer I'll preorder anything from.
@@D96Fan Cyberpunk Isn't the first time that Cdpr rleased a buggy ass game at launch tho. The Witcher 3 was borderline unplayable at launch for alot of people but they got away with it that time.
@@D96Fan what have they done besides witcher 3 that was standout? Also From should have zero investor/leadership pressure issues forcing the game to come out before it's done. Not to mention we are getting the network test like right now. They are down to the finishing touches. Did cyberpunk have any freeform gameplay out at all before release? Imo the situation is very different.
Well, pretty much every large scale game like this turns off UI for the sake of keeping the focus on the world. I don't see how it's indicative of any rushing at all. Plus it got delayed
Fromsoftware should be very trustworthy. They have multiple successful games. All of them just show pure consistency and respect towards players in terms of the quality they release. I generally don't agree with preordering, but honestly if I were to preorder one it would be a fromsoftware game. If they don't finish they will delay(which they did). They won't show trailers or hints about the game until they feel like they are ready. I have been waiting for years to get news about their new Elden ring installment. I knew George R R martin was on the project and was sooo hyped. The whole game world seemed super nice. It took so long till they announced anything. That to me just shows they are very serious about respecting the players. When they release the game, it will respect their high standards of quality. Ofc nothing is certain, but I'm sure they've done enough to deserve our trust.
@@cluelessclown6562 Oh, don't get me wrong, I completely agree that Fromsoft is WAAAYYY better than some other modern developers, and I have no doubt it'll be a good game in general. I just can't help worrying about these things after other recent games that have come out lol. Making a BotW style open world isn't easy either, as this seems to be something like that
@@cluelessclown6562 My thoughts exactly; I mean, when you think about it, every single one of their games since Demon's Souls has been amazing. Even DSII, which is admittedly only a 6.5-7/10 when compared to their other games, becomes a 7.5-8.5/10 when compared to most other games out there. I honestly feel there is nothing to worry about with this game; if there is one company in which you can put your entire faith in, it's Fromsoft without a doubt.
if cyberpunk has taught us anything, it's that you can show all the incredible gameplay and cinematic footage in the world and the game can still turn out a massive disappointment. I am not at all expecting this with Elden ring, I think Elden ring will be amazing and it's a totally different situation. unfortunately, though, cyberpunk has 100% made sure that I will never pre-order a game again, lol
The thing is, Elden Ring is a Fromsoftware game, and if there is one thing Fromsoft is known for, it's their ability to consistently put out extremely well made, quality-over -quantity games; even their worst game, DSII, is still a very fun game when compared to most other games out there. And don't forget, they've been working on this game since the release of the Ringed City DLC, which was almost 5 years ago, so they've had a lot of time for this one. While I'll admit there is a chance the game is just another Cyberpunk, the fact that Fromsoft is the one making it makes those chances incredibly low compared to almost any other developer, so I don't think you have to worry about that at all. (Sorry for the long comment)
@@lawmanlawman2210 This argument REALLY doesn't work. CDPR were well known for putting out extremely well made, quality over quantity games - the Witcher 1 was pretty good, the Witcher 2 is arguably one of the best sleeper RPG's of all time and features branching narratives most modern RPG's can't hold up to and the Witcher 3 is basically inarguably one of the best games of all time. And, to ape something from your comment. "Even their worst game, Cyberpunk, is still a very fun game when compared to most other games out there." - Regardless of it's glitchy nature, it's objectively revolutionary in terms of graphics and animation, it is a literal masterpiece on both those fronts when compared with pretty much anything of it's size. The only thing that comes close is Hellblade, which was both much smaller and used entirely facial motion capture whereas Cyberpunk used software for a lot of it's facial animations. I think you DEFINITELY have to worry about this - especially given it's a cross gen title. Remember Dragon age Inquisition on the PS3? or Black Ops 3 on Xbox 360? Cross generational titles almost ALWAYS have some issues. This is also a relatively new genre for them, as it lacks the linearity of their former titles. So, honestly, I wouldn't pre order - unless you can get a special edition, in which case you're pre ordering for the exclusive items over the game. While there might not be any issues, there also definitely might be.
@@spoon1555 For me the main difference is that Fromsoftware did not put a high marketing investement compare to Cyberpunk, Cyberpunk was everywhere litteraly when Fromsoft stood silent most of the time, even if Elden Ring would be a disaster it wouldn't be as bad because they didn't Overhyped it
@@spoon1555 For me the biggest difference is that CDproject was hiding Cyberpunk from the very start, we could only see the gameplay THEY showed us, when people played the game was in a high end PC THEY build, they said that it would be the biggest game ever, they promised the most advanced AI in gaming, the best graphics, the best storyline, the biggest branching story, the pre-order for the game started almost 2 years before the game released and etc etc every other bad thing they did. Elden Ring in the other hand is letting people play in their homes in their own old consoles, they just started pre-order order now after showing 20 minutes of gameplay and 4 months before realese and soon a lot of people will be playing for the server test, I was in doubt if Fromsoft could do a good open world too, but after seeing the gameplay i know that at least the world looks filled with enemies and that's the only thing I needed to buy the game everything else for me it's just a bonus.
well, dont pre-order games lol. You know how the game industry is: Cyberpunk cough cough, watch dogs cough cough, assassin's creed, cough cough. I just hope this game doesn't flop as most games these days
Fromsoftware has a better track record than the developers of the games you mentioned, I don't think they should be compared. Not saying it's wrong to avoid pre-ording though.
@@shade0636 so did CD Project Red. They came out of the best game ever created that was the witcher 3 and probably holding the number 1 position when it came to people's trust and look what happened. i only buy pre-orders on rockstar games and only the day beofre launch so i can start downloading faster. Buying a game months before launch is literally risking wasting money. The game is not going anywhere, the price is not gonna spike or anything. After what happened to cyberpunk we literally have nothing to hold on to. Metacritic reviews for cyberpunk were also very high before launch (94) so we are literally on the dark until we play the game. Game trailers and nothing are the same to me.
@@Caelestas while i do agree with your point, it's fair to say that based on the games they made, fromsoftware is far more reliable than cdprojekt, even before cyberpunk. dark souls 1 and 3, bloodborne, sekiro... miyazaki and the boys are great
Don't know why you're comparing it to DS2, when it's closer to 3. Especially with the hitboxes and combat. Most people hate DS2. And so far, this game is not blowing my mind, and I don't know why it's blowing some people away. So far it's mostly just DS3 open world. That's it. What's blowing them away? Mounted combat? Most of everything else is the same.
@@EpitomeOfHope Yeah, but so many people aren't just excited, they're literally saying that it's blowing their mind and that's it's their "magnum opus", their "masterpiece". I mean, yeah, it's really amazing. But, again, it's open world DS. You can see that they reused a lot of animations, weapons, and ideas. And when the next Fromsoft game comes out I'm sure they'll be saying the same thing. How can it blow their mind or go beyond expectations, when it's exactly what they were expecting? Guess I've just learned to temper my expectations and not get overhyped about things (where a lot of people have a hard time doing that). I'll have to see more of the game before I start throwing the word "masterpiece" around.
@@_syzygy_ My thing is that people are getting super overhyped for a thing that they were expecting in the first place. It's not like it's anything groundbreaking.

Probably just a boss weapon/spell you can make with Godrick’s rune
There was a leak stating that bosses will drop augmentations for characters, similar to dark souls 3.
Caleb officially failed No Nut November. Seriously though this game looks so good
I would say either you have to fall pretty far to take health damage- or its more of a system where a drop does nothing - or over a certain height, kills you.
But when's Bloodborne though? I promise there's only a lot of spiders...
I think the mentioned they can't do Bloodborne because they don't own a Playstation.
that part before micolash when there's a big fucking spider and a lot of small ones could probably kill caleb
when it comes to PC :(

We need a Sekiro playthrough

Can anyone clarify what game he's playing next? I watched the stream but I didn't quite catch what he's playing next. I was hoping Sekiro would be next.
ff14 new expansion i think
I think he wants to play FF14 for now. But for FromSoft game, next is replaying DS3 with mod. I believe Sekiro is after that.
@@bayu_bejo Oh, okay, thanks for answering!
im so excited for this game, i was so giddy when i saw this, definitely pre ordering.
