“This is a game for people without families”
Me with my three little boys watching me, cheering me on. “Dad, is that the final boss!?” on every single mob because every enemy is fucking epic. My boys had a blast watching me.
Sounds like what someone without a family would say, why would that comment stand out to you otherwise.
You sit on a throne of lies, and whatever kids you're hearing are the voices in your head.
@@EK-xs7fe "you sit on a throne of lies" fuckin dweeb
My cousin and my uncle was cheering me on too it's the best feeling on the game😂😍
I had so much fun watching you dad, you are awesome!
@@EK-xs7fe wtf? bro is turning into a e-boy
They should add an Easy mode, but its actually easier for the enemies to kill you
Lol its hardcore mode. Easier to quit for the people who ask for it
If they did that, made a harder mode but called it easy mode, that be the most "dark souls" thing of all
There's already an easy mode, it's called kill the dragon for 100k runes, afk in limgrave, summon 2 bleed builds to cheese Margit and Godrick, and never leave the bird farm. It won't get any more difficult unless you want the gold scarab, cuz that boss is no joke.
I’m sure miyazaki would make it an achievement to beat it on “easy mode”
Easy mode should be everything dies in one hit, but so do you. No amount of vigor will help.
“A game that is not made for everyone is not a game that should be made” basically translates to “a game that is not made for me is not a game that should be made”
The part that gets me, like REALLY gets me, it's a God dam souls game. They have NEVER been "easy" and I never really saw people really complain.
I've met people who have said stuff like "oh I'm not a fan, those games are hard so I just never got into it"
But some of the people complaining about this game is crap.
It's so well crafted, it really is and if you're an old school souls fan, it's amazing how far it's come. The AI has mostly gotten better, the movement mechanics, the jumping (oh thank God for the jumping) compared to the older games is SO NICE.
My only complaint about this game is its frame capped for consoles, like I get it, but it's my only complaint.
And idk I've never really seen people care so much about "a game not made for everyone"
Most games aren't for everyone, and that's been true for a long time.
Sorry I get a little ranty
@@NotTheHeroStudios oh that easy mode complaint happens with basically every fromsoft game. It happened with ds3, bloodborne, sekiro, and now Elden Ring
I hate shooters and sports games, so those shouldn't be made because of meeee. What even...
@@NotTheHeroStudios Yeah definitely agree, but it’s also the biggest souls game ever, and I’m sure all these people complaining hear how much other players love it so they’re upset about not being able to play it/enjoy it. Rather than getting better at the game, they post reviews saying how bad it is 😂.
@@NotTheHeroStudios yep the game definitely feels good
Though it feels weird as well playing elden ring right after Sekiro and not having any experience with souls games
I need to get it in my head that I need to stop parrying
2 YEARS LATER WERE STILL TALKING BOUT THIS GAME BABBBBYYYYYYYY
Dlc out and peeps be silent xD
@@locatabor3682they most definitely are not silent
So good
@@locatabor3682they definitely aren’t. Now they’re complaining cause there’s no pause button. Boo hoo lmao
@@serenitykinda I just find it funny why complain now? They didn't complain on the base game for years but now?
"he's already spent 6 minutes in the game, he cant restart now. he's locked in"
I laughed audibly at this sentence.
It's true, I heard it
@@MrSkinnyWhale as did i
sounds like someone didn't know there is a file select.
@@yt_nh9347 And there it is...
@@Vihara2 Dude said something unfunny and racist but I'm the bad guy? Holy shit man fuck off, get a life.
"You're not going to reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into." That was very eloquently said.
They felt something, and rationalized it instead of thinking how truth it is.
@@denkerbosu3551 Absolutely! It's an easy trap too fall into. One of the reasons that I enjoy these videos so much is that it helps me see perspectives I wouldn't normally consider.
Almost like he quantum tunneled himself there in fact.
You can't argue with someone who is never wrong.
@@justinwill7420 Exactly i never seen so many whinny baby gamers in my life.
He talks about pitfalls in these games. A friend of mine went straight into the Catacombs in Dark souls 1. Made it to a bonfire down there without leveling up at all. They never made it back out. After 5 hours they had to restart and went a different way. It became their favourite game until Bloodborne. Good times.
The scythe is down there so I always run down there myself.
I did the exact same thing when ds1 was released.
I believe we all have done this before yes
I did the same, but with Ash Lake and that gave me enough of an aneurysm as is. I can't imagine the catacombs.
I totally would've skipped the tutorial in Elden Ring if someone didn't tell me it's there, jumping into a dark pit near a creepy old guy didn't seem like a good idea
the funny thing, Quantum's ex admits that the guy didn't even play the game
I feel bad for her lmao
Poor individual :((
Coming back to this after elden ring won game of the year truly feels good
And stollen by Bill Clinton
facts
Sasuga Ainz sama
Factsss
I wanna know what Quantum says about it winning goty
Im 1000% sure that QTV was one of those children who got so pissed and cried endlessly because he couldnt put the square block in the circle hole.
All the shapes go in the square hole. Your life is a lie!
Why does this have no replies?! This comment is funny as hell😆
True, he got Vigor checked and that did it in for him
And the cherry on top is that he got arrested recently, how about that
I read this originally as pissed himself and cried. I find both versions applicable.
“The player base are like people who drink blood from a cup-“
It’s called Draconic Communion and I earned that Dragon Heart
Damn right
Lol gimme some of that people juice
Damn straight
I need it for the dragon incantations! Lay off!
The shiny eyes are badges of honor
I am 110% of the opinion the first boss on the horse is a deliberate troll to ragebait new players to the franchise. Even though you killed it first time Asmon, I was like "nope...you don't fool me game" and came back to get him WAY later.
Agreed come back stronger now let's go I really want his shield its pretty awesome
@@crazi_2099except you only get the shield from the double tree sentinels in altus
Based on this video, I think it’s Miyazaki way of telling people: if this isn’t your cup of tea, you still have time to get a refund. 😂
""You don't make friends by insulting them you insult them after"" no truer words
actually i met my best friend from him flaming me on left 4 dead. i invited him after for more and we both thought that was funny and kept playing :P
@@Longtimer49 lol
that dude is the same weird guy in school that behaves like a prick to others and gets bullied, then comes out to say that people bully him only because he is (gay/nerdy/introvert)
@@Longtimer49 that's wholesome dude I remember I was learning ds3 pvp and I met one of my best Xbox friends he showed me some tips
@@Longtimer49
For some reason, that reminds me that the whole reason KEEMStar has a career is because someone recorded him trash-talking on the XBox and uploaded it online.
“This is a game for people without families”
*Me who plays Elden Ring with my dad and my 2 little cousins watching and cheering for me every time a boss battle occured*
You're actually right. This is one of very few games where it's genuinely interesting sitting beside the player and seeing how they fare. Especially boss battles.
My fiancée convinced me to get it and asks me play it all the time. :D
@@a8lg6p Sounds like a worthwhile investment. What brand is the vibrator?
Exactly I've never seen a game that my family enjoys watching as much as elden ring
I know. Its a family game i bounded with my nehpew on this
I think it's always important to distinguish "graphics" and "artstyle"
I think graphics feeds the art style. They couldn't afford to make botw look super amazing so they based the art style around it and made it work. Even really cool artstyle can be overshadowed by really bad/dated graphics. Obviously many can look past it but may can't.
The thing is that elden rings graphics really aren't bad at all in my opinion. A lot of things are very detailed, the world feels alive and i always have this sense of awe when i play it.
I personally just think that not every game has to look super realistic for it to have "good" graphics.
Yeah lol. Just like a short hike, or valheim. "Shitty" graphics, absolutely 10/10 beautiful games for me tho
But if graphics fit the artstyle its good graphics for me
I played Elden ring, never played dark souls after beating ER and beating NG+ I started to play dark souls, and later dark souls 3 since it the latest DS, the artstyle is jaw dropping for me ,I enjoyed the story and lore of it all, it brought me back as a kid playing half life and half life 2, the game is just an amazing experiance I wish now for more games like these to exist.
Gonna quote the helldivers devs on this "A game for everybody is a game for nobody."
"He's already spent 6 minutes in the game... He can't restart now. He's locked in." 😂😂😂 Why haven't I watched this guy sooner, love his commentary/reactions.
Just found this guy on youtube because i'm not into twitch and his content is so good!
@@ProcuredHat if you hit people you pay the price I mean you don’t give people second chances for smacking you with a sowrd two times their size do you
Act is in fact... The Man
@@ProcuredHat No, it's fine the way it is. He just needs to learn to read and accept che consequences of his actions.
same lol, I'm subscribing to both of these dudes
Told a coworker that I was playing Elden Ring lately and that he should give it a try. He responded “oh I don’t really like super hard games so I think I’ll pass on this one.” I said “yeah that’s fair it’s not for everyone”
Why the fuck can’t more people be like my coworker?
Its fair man some people like cod other like fifa other fortnite, apex, etc
I am like your coworker 😀
stay friends with that dude
tbh, Elden ring is times easier than any other dark souls
@@alix6xgorg839 debatable, i still think 3 is easy mode because the rolls are so broken. elden ring has a pretty massive curve at mountaintops too where u get twoshot by everything
Guy mistook the guy with no weapon for hostile and mistook the big golden knight on a horse for a friendly ally. Truely the pinnacle of decision making and common sense. Even I thought the horse guy was friendly but as soon as I saw the big red health bar at the bottom of my screen and saw him chasing me with a big spear I did what anyone would have done. RUN
I haven't played but the first time I seen him I assumed he was one of those mid game bosses.
he has too big of an ego he only makes friends with the 'bigger' individual, even if it's abusive
Never played any souls game b4 but always been a gamer and just seeing that tree sentinal should be common video game knowledge he will fuck you up.
Even the tree sentinals patroling path gave me the "Im out here looking for a fight" kind of vibe.
@@sneekmuch right, if you can't recognize that it's an enemy something is wrong with you
my gf has never played a game other than animal crossing before, i sat her down after watching this to conduct an experiment to see how long it took till she got to torrent. gave her 0 help or information. although it was pretty rough she drastically did better than the guy who never killed a single enemy and prolly took her 30mins to accomplish that task and even fough the enemies along the way. keep in mind she only plays animal crossing, but this guy has a wall of video games
Dude that makes me cry with laughter. Casual gamer is better than a supposed avid gamer is funny as hell
Casual gamers are still gamers, also, how far along is she now? She face Radan yet?
This is so funny I also want to know how far she gets
She got as far as my wee wee
It's not a fair comparison because your GF has a functioning brain.
To be fair about gran tourismo 7, what actually happened is the reviewers reviewed a version of the game, found it enjoyable, and then Sony and polyphony changed the game monetization after launch. So essentially both sets of reviews are accurate. The game was changed via updates that made it worse post release. Real shady stuff.
Thats so scummy wtf
Or maybe most people are bored of gran tourismo, cause cmon racing games need to be reaaaaally good to be better then the ones that already exist. Gran tourismo doesnt do anything new in my opinion, and i think most people feel that, updates or not
People still play GT? It died to me when forza came out.
GT is better o ly in the fact that I have a racing wheel setup and PSVR. I haven't got the newest GT. but I don't feel I need to, I'm happy with the last rendition on PS4
That sounds like it’s borderline illegal.
If it’s not, it probably should be.
What a cunt move to do.
"Toxic dev mentality"
After selling more copies than their previous games the devs put out a big thank you to all the fans and then the studio gave everyone who worked on the game a big bonus.....doesn't get more toxic than that!
Has nothing to do with anything. It sold more copies because it was overhyped compared to other soulsborne games. Literally everything wrong with ds2 is wrong with elden ring. Any1 who thinks its a 10/10 or even a 9/10 is just a simpy fangirl
@@GigaChadDuPlessis I never played a souls game, didn't watch any hype. Just got it recommended on steam, was bored. Bought it. 10/10.
Didn't even watch any elden ring content until I finished the game due to spoilers.
@@TheFoxNes pfttttt😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ya ok kid
@@GigaChadDuPlessis Oh, sassy. 😱
@@GigaChadDuPlessis I'm not really a souls fan either, I played Bloodborne for like 1 hour. Played elden and I fucking loved it. I liked it so much I also started playing demons souls. I really like both of these games, I like games like Factorio and Astroneer. This game caught me in similar ways. I couldn't put it down. Anyone talking shit about elden ring either hasn't played, or is a douchebag troll 😅
Almost every 3rd person melee game ever : press R3 to lock on
This guy : "Oh my god, how do you lock on? This is impossible"
I still wanna know what he meant by a "light lock on", never figured that out.
To be honest the targeting is kind of wonky. Sometimes you can lock on from 200 meters away and sometimes it barely works at 2 meters.
It's the same in all FromSoft games though so it doesn't really make Elden Ring terrible, just not perfect.
Hitboxes: _FINALLY, A WORTHY OPPONENT!_
God forbid you look at controls menu or pay attention the the tutorial section
@@jtn81x100%, elden also falls deep when it comes to multiplayer, I would love to EASILY, join my friends and kill a boss together. Doesn't make it a terrible game, I still give it a 8.9 out of 10.
I'm a mom of two kids, been playing ark for years, elden ring is the first game to make me give up ark. Been playing it nonstop. The elden beast took me a week to beat, but the satisfaction of finally being it was amazing. Started up NG+ because I'm ready to be hurt again.
That's the spirit, what is a little plain and death for us hard-core players. plus raising children automatically gives you +5 vigor and endurance. Good luck on NG+ and onwards.
Most underrated comment of the year.
@@jeremiahcoker4696 Yo, where can i cash in on those free stats? I got 3 kids and im 31. Lol I get about 2 hours a day to play Elden Ring and that's due to sacrificing sleep, but you kind of have to make sacrifices to enjoy such a HUGE game. That map size dropped me and my buddies jaws.
Good luck on NG+! In my experience it ends up feeling like a victory lap now that you know all the bosses moves and timings and for most of the earlier bosses your significantly over leveled and it’s fun to feel all your hard work pay off each new play though
Glad you are enjoying the game
7:52 "I get to the guy with the mask, accidentally attack him-"
Yea. 'Accidentally.' Right. He called you maidenless and hurt your feelings so you tried to kill him.
"-and then he kills me."
That really why you hate it. You got called out for being maidenless and then curb stomped to add injury to insult from a fight you started.
Didn't learn your lesson from the grafted scion and didn't know what to do with a game requiring/rewarding you for effort. Thats why you still maidenless.
Seriously. He doesn't even aggro unless you hit him 3 times.
Not to mention Varre has one of if not the very worst weapon in the entire game. You have to try to lose to it.
Same type of person who would start a fight, gets his ass beat and then call the cops that he was the one who got assaulted first only to get arrested and would say police brutality.
When I convinced my little brother to play the game, he attacked the first NPC too.
But he did it on purpose, cause he didn't like being called maidenless.
And I will give my brother some credit, he just kept respawning and fighting the guy, and used the experience to learn how to parry, so by the time he beat him, he was really well prepared for the combat.
Buy your brother a gift or something for being such a great sport about it, he deserves it 100% he took a great lesson from that experience
finally, a based child.
Your brother should stream dude. Sounds like a Chad
Hope he has a celestial dew
Brother. You have shown him the right way. He will be a Great Lord of Cinder.
I hate when people say "git gud" as an excuse for bad games, but holy hell, this guy is exactly why they do that. He was legit mad he was bad.
Fr
If most of the players can do it ofc everyone would say git gud
He can’t get gud so he complains im playing retrying elden ring again simply to shut mfs like him up cos all they do is complain how hard a game is without actually trying makes it seem like all the games they play are for children 😂
I think you meant hard games instead of bad games
Although it can seem a bit toxic at times, the rallying cry of git gud isn't just something Souls veterans tell new playsers, it's also what we tell our selves after dying to the same boss over a dozen times. It's a reminder that although these games are challenging, persevering and learning to overcome those difficulties through your own skill, is why we play these games. For the new dlc of Elden Ring I believe I said it to myself at least 2 dozen times and that was before getting to the last boss. And for me personally it helps keep my head clear and not get upset when I die. I learn from it and eventually I do in the end Git Gud. And I think mostly everyone is capable of that.
I almost hit Ranni. I gasped out loud and shouted "NONONO" as I held the stick away from her. Then I hit the floor in front of her. This dumbass hit the first non hostile . . . three times. Intentionally.
My controller fell off of my knee and I somehow killed Gowry in one hit but luckily it was Gowry so it doesnt matter
Lol almost got a scolding from the waifu, good thing you were able to stop in time
YOU ALMOST DID
W H A T ?
@@abnegazherI swatted a fly in her tower! I swear!
I accidentally killed patches while he was lying down in the sea cave, my control bumped my knee. I went through my whole first play with guilt and for patches 😔
"You're not going to reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into"
That is a damn good quote
Yeah. That seems to be part of the problem these days. I try to think before I get into position, but to each their own.
Destiny thought so too, and now he's BANNED
@@majortom8990 outrage culture. That’s the clown world we live in now. On all sides of the spectrum. The loudest voices in the room are the dumbest voices and make everyone else a peg dumber for REEEEE’ing all the time.
@@Grriabear he doesn’t buy in to “THE MESSAGE” enough and had too much of an audience so they had to cancel him
I too got to "the guy with the mask," and attacked him. He killed me. Then I respawned and he was already attacking me again. He killed me. Then I respawned (several times actually) and fought him several times until I KILLED HIM. I celebrated, walked down the hill a little, saw the first tree sentinel, and began the process over again.
I also attacked the mask guy, not because I didn't know he was safe, but because he was rude to me so fuck him.
20 minutes later I accepted defeat and have never returned to the place of my greatest shame
You sir, have gotten gud, welcome to the club
Step 1: Kill the first non hostile white mask NPC
Step 2: Welcome to the got Gud club
The violent but chad route lmao
Absolute legend. Hats off to you boss.
It’s a shock to anyone who hasn’t played souls games, but the difficulty just adds to the payoff in a nutshell that’s the appeal along with the atmosphere and lore.
I haven't played em but I want to. I just never see em on sale. Maybe 10 years from now they'll be less popular and go on sale.
@@thebadash4165 bloodborne isn’t super pricey you could knock out two Uber eats order within 5miles and buy it even if your budgeting
See while I agree with you on certain pitfalls, the dude proved you have to hit him 3x ignoring the guy warning you. At that point the pitfall is deserved honestly as that's not user error that's a users decision
I "accidentally" killed fia when she asked me to. I was super stoned. I deserved the consequences. Lmfao
@@SanguineThor I did too before I realized she was part of a quest and trophy 😭😭😭 Ng+ here I go 🤣🤣🤣
But fr she asked to die tho 🤣😭
I like how they stick to their views more than there playthroughs 😁✨
Makes some fantastic salt and logic
you have to protect stupid people from themselves, have u ever heard of a concept called health and safety? we've been sanding down sharp corners for decades and now people are so accustomed to life being easy that they have no challenges, no reason to learn new skills because everyone else caters to them... darwinism needs to make a major comeback lol.
@@SanguineThor I killed her because f** her, she killed my buddy.
Most underrated, God-tier mechanic in elden ring: the ladders. Hold up to go up, hold down to go down, regardless of which direction the camera is pointing. Perfection.
Magneto: "Perfection."
Not gonna lie, I'm so used to correction for the camera that the ladders fuck me up 🤣
Do that many games have it the other way though? I cannot remember even a single one where it depended on the camera
@@cultistaautista There are a few games out there that if you're faced towards your character it reverses the input. I know ocarina of time does that, pretty sure the older assassin's creed games do that. I'm sure most newer games are fine, i just haven't played that many.
@@chandler1473
Now I have to re-check the early Assassin's creed games, because despite havig countless hours in them I never remembered the ladders being different...
I had never played a souls game before Elden Ring, I didn’t look up any guides and just kinda ran around accidentally progressing the story until I beat it. Nothing but a good time, even when margit took me 3 different days of trying to beat, I was purely excited the whole time to just try it, I didn’t care that I died over 100 times to him, the gameplay was SO fun that I didn’t care. 10/10
the whole premise of the series is that the game doesn't end when you die, you aren't re-loading saves and there is potentially net zero loss it's like the oxymoron of gaming. Also, it makes every death or attempt at a boss a unique experience and the difficulty makes it more visceral and rewarding than most other games. I have thoroughly enjoyed them all except Sekiro because there was no pvp, I may eventually play it but for me pvp is where it's at. Cheers!
Grinding's always acceptable if you enjoy the combat mechanics, imo
I would also like to add that after I get all the achievements for Elden Ring, I’ll happily be buying past souls games and experiencing them for the first time as well!
As someone who’s been playing this series since dark souls 1, I always enjoy hearing a new player picking up one of the games and getting immersed in it. It can be a real pain and clunky at first but once it clicks, it feels great
Same here, first time playing a Soulsborne game. For NG+ my goal was to beat Radagon/Elden Beast with a tank build. Killed Radagon with a rapier and tower shield, blocking most attacks and countering when able to. It was the equivalent to playing Street Fighter 2 doing only low kicks, dealing low chip damage. Radagon killed me a lot of times, but when I finally started seeing the patterns it felt great! I had a blast with that fight. Still trying to understand Elden Beast tho.
"No game of the year!"
*Proceeds to win Game of the year*
I love that, for YEARS, people demanded that "YOUR CHOICES MATTER" in games, and now they're mad that their choices matter.
You get a differently colored cut-scene of the same scene as the other endings and like a 10s clip after that.
That's extremely mild
@@Chronically_ChiII I think they meant the minor choices mattering a ton like with class building and such. Or at least that’s how I interpreted it.
@@Chronically_ChiII yea or you torch the entirety of reality or usher in an age of knowledge and self reliance as the power of faith leaves for the distant stars.
@@Chronically_ChiII or you set the world on fire and burn everyone and destroy the world
@@Chronically_ChiII yeah that kind of pissed me off I’m hoping we get dlc that expands on the ending for each ending
1 year later, Quantum TV evolved from copyright abuser to physical abuser.
What happened?
@@adeshbrar2698 He got arrested for domestic violence and tampering with a witness
@@victorleon67 honestly, with everything that came out about him, expected, what a deplorable human
He really has that school shooter vibe on him. A psychopath with a platform.
@@zaimanity8893Fucking what now?
If you are stupid enough to attack a clearly non hostile npc "3" times then you deserve that pitfall. Consequences of bad decisions should be more apparent in games so yeah, those pitfalls are good lessons to players and should be in more games.
you know whats funny about the Quantum TV guy? He also made a video three times and dug his pitfall into a canyon
Yea I hit that guy and got fucked up 20 times
Its an IQ measure, you need to be this smart to play.
Sometimes it's really annoying still, there is the bug when the runebear fight aggro Blaidd because of the bear hitbox. The only way to deaggro him is 2 regions away in the Church of Vow + u need a potion, that's down in hell. When you first play you don't know that. Of course the guy was a fool and missed this game with a Bethesda game, where u can literally slaughter a village. But rare times like this he is kinda right.
Harsly a pitfall. More like an idiot jumping into a hole to see how deep it is, then complaining he broke his legs and now he can't get out.
And all it it takes is to GO BACK I TIME 6 MINUTES PREVIOUS.
WTF.
2 years later and the game is still popular as ever and being talked about and hyped up. Dude took the biggest L ever.
I bought Elden Ring first day it released. Had never played a FromSoft game before. After a couple hours I returned it because I was too stubborn to look up anything about it or try getting better. I felt pretty similar to the people who “reviewed” the game in this video. After a week or so I bought the game back and did it right this time. Took the time to watch tutorials and actually LEARN the game. Now I’ve beaten it multiple times, and it is one of my favorite games ever. I’m so glad I didn’t give up on this game.
Now that's how a gamer is supposed to act like "gamer". Patience is key, it's just like learning a new sport. You can't say you're a sporty guy if the only sport you know or stick to is just one type of sport at least hobby wise, those who are with profession is understandable if they only know one or two sports in their whole lifetime since it's their profession.
But me as a gamer, it's just merely a hobby, not a profession unless I decide to make money out of it. So it's natural for me to try all different kinds of games to the best of my interests to see if it really fits my style. Tho not all games are good to begin so gamers have a hard times picking games to play so usually they stick their usuals.
But here, Elden Ring is that kind of game that has indeed a large learning curve being a souls game, but proved to be beginner friendly and new to the franchise players friendly. So those other people that tag themselves as "gamer" but only has the mentality to just write reviews by only watching YT clips without having even the slightest patience of playing the actual game are just the bandwagon type people.
Want to try a new game to add to your gaming collection as a pure gamer but game is hard? There are lots of guides and tutorials out there that can help, there's the even in-game tutorial if you're paying close attention. Bu if people don't even bother with that, then they can't be truly called a "gamer" in that sense. They just simply play it. Play and forget. A true gamer always comes back.
As a wise man once said :
"Rise from your grave, never give up."
-Tyrannicon
Had a similar experience with Dark Souls, carrying that knowledge and going into Elden Ring mostly blind has been an amazing experience.
welcome to the family xD
@@mybirthdayis4206 Happy early Birthday!
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Giving Elden Ring a second chance was the best decision and I get it now.
"There's nothing fun about this game for someone who is new to the franchise"
Just got elden ring today, it's my first souls game and I'm already loving it
elden ring was also my first fromsoft game, i have 250 hours in it and i just recently beat dark souls 1-3
Remember the key to the game is, if you are stuck on a boss/area just go do something else and come back better equiped
Mine is downloading now first souls game too
Never liked any souls game, Elden Ring is just different
even Girlfriend Reviews says Elden Ring is a great starting point for someone new to the franchise, and she is the ultimate casual gamer. Her most hardcore game experience is Animal Crossing.
"You're not going to reason someone out of a position that they didn't reason themselves into." That is a freaking golden piece of advice right there.
Why are game critics even allowed to post a review without a link to their playthrough
Elden Ring is my first From Software game ever. I was completely new to this type of game. Yes, it was hard and there was a learning curve. I died many times thinking I could just be like a Skyrim main character and kill everything easily. But, I learned and got used to the difficulty. Studying the different moves and counters to enemies I discovered. I love the game. It’s awesome and I wish that I would’ve played all the other games that came before this one. I might play Elden Ring at least 10 times and start with each class once! Then I’ll eventually go back and play the others. Elden Ring completely blew me away and I still haven’t beat it yet. Just exploring the world and not know what lies around a corner is thrilling to me. I got the game a couple of days ago and have been completely obsessed with it
Same here, First game like this for me. Sometimes I want to hurl the controller against the wall, which is something I have never experienced before in game. It’s not a bad thing, you have to earn everything in this game.
Stiff Veggetation, Outdated UI,story telling through item text, Yet your're blown away?? You Bootlickers are a bunch of clowns.
Same here.. kinda.
I started with sekiro but that was wayyy too hard for me. I didnt make it much further past the first giant.
But with elden ring i beat margit without giving up and even exploring the rest of the map to level up.. and went on to beat godrick the same way.
Now im almost at the end i think.
edit: i finished elden ring and went back to play sekiro, i beat lord genichiro, the game is becoming easier, i think ive gitten gud.
Same, it’s been a blast
Yeah man this game is awesome. The sad thing (and a good one too, of course) is that Elden Ring is a quintessence of other souls games and their good game design choices which means some of them are not in Dark Souls 3 or Dark Souls 1 or Sekiro, etc. And it's really sad cuz once you play a new souls game it really makes playing other games uncomfortable :( I've beaten every Fromsoft game many times except Demon's Souls and I could only imagine how hard it would be playing Dark Souls 3 without a normal jump or doing actions on A and not Y. But all these things aside, I am happy for you to get accustomed with Elden Ring, it's a great game, wonderful game series and I wish you all the best luck to explore and enjoy it!
There’s a distinct difference between “Hey, Elden Ring’s UI is kinda clunky for first timers. Maybe it could be a little more user friendly.” and “Elden Ring’s UI makes it literally impossible to play, 0 out of 10 use flames to burn.”
@@jessebensen3569 Right, but even out right saying it’s terrible and leaving it at that is better than saying it ruins the rest of the game like this trogolodyte was saying (Quantum, not Asmongold).
yeah and seem like to me they completely forget about the mouse & keyboard control :D
It’s 2022. No nuance allowed.
The UI is bad. Even worse if you play on a keyboard, cause all the prompts use the controller icons. And it's a shame that such a basic and simple feature has been overlooked for so long.
@@Clawzz299 that moment when you don't know about the option to switch the on-screen prompts to mouse and keyboard. Though i will admit it should be automatic not manual. Under sound and display you can change the on screen buttons to m&k, i believe it's called gamepad display or something
The "If a game isn't made for everyone, it isn't a game that should be made." comment is probably one of the worst hot takes I have heard in a long time. I love Elden Ring, and most negative reviews have some legitimate concerns, or I can understand it from their point of view. That take was just garbage though.
if you aren't enjoying the game, you shouldn't force yourself to play it and then complain when you dont enjoy it.
@@miniskruff8345 honestly for most people, there are probably more games out there they don’t enjoy over what they do enjoy. Doesn’t mean those games should have never been made.

@@mythoceanas8874 that’s a good point, there will always be someone who enjoys what you hate
Yep, theres no way to make a game for everyone cause peoples tastes are simply to varied.
Some people love FPS Shooters some people fucking hate them, trying to make something where every person likes it will just lead to failure.
I never played any Dark Souls game. I roamed the world, leveled up, learned how to play (timing, dodging, etc), then finally went through the story and fought bosses. It's amazing and I already finished the DLC. The criticisms are crazy lol
The thing about Margit being hard is that I feel like he's not the "tutorial" boss. He's The first major boss of the first area, that area being all of Limgrave (south included).
I agree, I went and did literally anything else for the first 20-30 hours.
When I faced Margit I was super scared but it ended up as a walk in the park as I entered that fight way to overleveled.
Even if they cam't beat him directly, could alway do what I did:poison him and wait for it to whittle him down. Not an honorable win, I know, but my point is if you can't win 1 way, just find another.

@@sumbody694 too be fair that is why i stopped FFXIV somewhere at the early middle of it.
it's to much story for me.
this isn't really a problem but i wanted to try the game to see if it even fits me and if i would enjoy it.
if i like the game i would be happy about every bit of story i can get but with not even knowing if it suits me all that story and cutscenes is just too much time investment in something i didn't even decide about if it's worth for me in the first place.
still would never say it's a bad game or something like that.

I'd never played a souls game in my life. My experience was walking out, talking to the white mask and learned I was maidenless, then got absolutely murdered over and over by the god damn tree sentinel. Had to walk away then an hour later came back and actually said hey maybe I ought to learn how to play the game and went back in the little tutorial area. Came out feeling much more confident and fought the tree sentinel...and died in 1 hit. I spent the rest of the night farming the gate ruins people and finally killed that son of a bitch and let out a roar that would make Palpatine shit his pants. People who say this game sucks are morons.
That reminds me of when I played DS2 for the first time. I'm usually a calm person who has never thrown a controller in my life but I got so angry and frustrated at the game that I took the disk out and threw it against the wall. A few years later when DS3 came out I decided to just learn the game almost as if I had never play ANY game before and this became one of my favorite game series of all times
@@amuro9624 I expected DS2 to be an improvement over DS1, so I decided to make it my first souls game as well. DS3 wasn't out at the time and I didn't have a PlayStation. I dropped it before even getting out of the first area. Gave the first game a try couple of days later. Loved it. 300 gameplay hours later I thought "well the first game turned out to be great! Now that I know the basics, I'll have fun with DS2 for sure!" But it was a miserable experience. I just ran through the game and my only joy was slamming everyone with a Zweihander. I hope no one else decides to go for DS2 right after Elden Ring lmao

@@christopherreichle6670 >gameplay would get in the way
holy fuck dude watch a movie
I'm 54, never played a souls game before, I just got Elden Ring about a week and a half ago, and I'm at level 50 now. Yeah, there's a learning curve, but it's not like Google doesn't exist, and if you're a gamer you can figure things out. I haven't gotten to the REALLY hard bosses yet, but took out a bunch of optional bosses, including an Ulcerated Tree Spirit and Margit, and I'm enjoying it. If i hit a tough spot, I just pull back and take my time exploring and leveling up.
The funniest thing is he was talking about other souls games and how playing them allows you to carry over knowledge and skill so not playing the other ones makes Elden Ring harder. I've beaten Elden Ring, almost have it Platinum and have around 150+ hours. The only thing I've done previously in souls games was beat the Asylum Demon in ds1 and Gundyr in ds3. Dude is maidenless
I have played all the Dark Souls trilogy but i haven’t played Demon Souls and Bloodborne and i have to kinda agree, the experience is “easier” in some ways and you know in what you got yourself to but the difference is not massive at all. You can come from playing all the Souls saga and still having a hard time with Elden Ring.
@@Sterndust0324 agreed. Idk maybe my opinion holds less weight as Elden Ring is the first of the games that I've actually completed but I genuinely feel like I won't struggle nearly as much at least with the dark souls trilogy. From what I've gathered by everyone I know who has played the games they all agree that Elden Ring is much less forgiving especially to pure melee builds (which is what I use). Anyway, I'm definitely excited to get into the other games and I'm glad I gave Elden Ring a try. Probably one of the best experiences of my life
Er is easier because it's pretty broken. Bosses are not as polished and have either exploitable ai or extremely unbalanced builds. Some bosses are either hell without summons or kill themselves with them. And two thirds of the game is just repeated bosses of which you already know the patterns so that also becomes easy. It quickly turned into a skyrim like grind
@@thatitalianlameguy2235 I specifically meant as a pure melee build. No summons, no magic, no abusing bugs/glitches and no bleed. The game can be easy if you choose to make it such but I wasn't talking about any of the aforementioned things
I think overall ER is easier than older souls, it’s late game that it gets hard, radagon was good, fuck elden beast
A game that expects you to read the room and figure it out without pointing you in the right direction constantly. You can just... play. No daily quests, no hand holding, and combat that feels SOOOOO satisfying when you FINALLY win.
I remember when you had to actually look around in games for objectives. Nowadays, almost every game has a literal arrow pointing you to each objective. So a lot of these younger players don't see an arrow or a big circle on the minimap showing where the next objective is, and they're like wtf am I supposed to do???
Whar exactly is satisfying in a slow and clunky combat? Compared to ninja gaiden and kingdom hearts.
@@Raylightsen Have you played the game? And touting kingdom hearts as "Satisfying" Combat? Lmao. Maybe if live for arcades. Elden ring isn't clunky in the least. It rewards perfect timing and learning your enemy. I don't think I've ever had to pay attention to any kingdom hearts fight.
@@Raylightsen kh is probably my favorite game ever made and the combat is great but not every game is supposed to be an arcade like hack and slash. Elden Rings combat is based upon timing and learning movesets and having realistic movements. It isn’t chunky you just don’t have to spam x to get in a 30 hit combo

Elden Ring does have an easy mode. At the start of the game Melina asks you if you want to have the ability to level up. If you choose "yes", then you've chosen easy mode.
The easy mode is playing a magic build

If my girlfriend can overcome the difficulty of Elden Ring, anyone can. Might sound like I'm trashtalking my gf a bit, and it's true to an extent, but the fact is she is mechanically terrible at video games, and every time she gets stressed, she forgets all the controls and just blindely panicpress the buttons. After being stuck at Gatefront ruins for a little over an hour, she declared the game was not for her, and she stopped playing, until a few hours later, when she came back and managed to get through it. That was the moment she started to get really into it. She still struggles, and has a hard time on a lot of the bosses, but she is doing it, and I was honestly convinced that she would never like the game before she gave it a try. So I say again, if she can do it, anyone can.
Tell your girlfriend than an internet stranger is congratulating her
Your girlfriend’s a champion man, she panics but still manages to win against the bosses, absolutely great 👍
Hell yeah that is dedication and good sportsmanship!! She got this :D
Thats what the series is all about, overcoming challenges
Dude shes a legend tell her to keep up the great work, i commend her for not giving up 👍
All the other claims are bs but the bad frame rate one is legit. My game was freezing at zero fps for like 9-10 sec constantly even with an rtx 3060 ti at 1080p. The solution that worked for me was disabling few cpu cores which took me forever to figure out .

One of my friends struggles with the game play, I think he was stuck on Margit for a few weeks (he works, and can't play endlessly for hours) however, he told me he loved the game already just from the atmosphere and exploring what little of the world he could. He said that he loved being in the open world where he could go where he liked and do what he liked when he was stuck on that first boss. And then finally, he beat him and it was a great achievement!
Most people who give Elden Ring a fair go enjoy it for a lot of different reasons - maybe there's an npc you love (like for me, I love Sellen, Blaidd and Rya so much XD ) or maybe there's an unexpected beautiful piece of the landscape that stays with you, or the atmosphere of one of the areas - for me it was when I accidentally took the magical elevator to Nokron!!! what a beautiful but deadly place : )
The only other souls game I've played is DS3 and Elden Ring is by far easier, for one - you can just walk to another zone and do other things when you get stuck. There's also places where you can easily grind levels if you need to that are accessible early on. Like literally in Godric's castle, you can farm the giant there before the boss room???? But I guess that last reviewer didn't even get that far.
Did you see Boogie's review? He really annoyed me actually. He had been crying on twitter about how the game was so hard etc. and I think after that he got carried through the whole game. He made a video attempting to sit on the fence - ping ponging between "it sucks" and "oh but i guess it's the best game of the year". He basically said that he didn't pay attention to any story stuff in the game and when he got the generic ending he didn't understand it and it sucked and he doesn't think that the endings justify doing Ranni's quest. It was kind of infuriating to watch. He also tries to give definitive advice to people on the game. I don't care if you play with friends, but if you just get carried, you don't even try to experience the story or npc quests and things and just speed run and then turn around saying "this game wasn't so great" then I don't think I can take you seriously.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this video of yours and I'm going to go check out The Act Man now!

"People get too mad about somebody else being dumb."
I respectfully disagree. All too often dumb people are not called out on their stupidity. The world would be a much better place if people would be a little more honest and say "Dude STFU, you have no clue what you are talking about." Everyone should have an opinion, but that does not equate to everyone having to respect that opinion if you're ignorant about the subject.
I agree, it's the dumb people who should be shocked into silence by their ignorance, not the well thought out takes shocked into silence by someone who is louder.
Especially on important subjects like energy, economy etc..
Here it's about a video game so it's not "as important" but if you're throwing a fucking stupid opinion with zero argument and the wonderful attitude of "i don't care what anyone says, it's a bad game" you're going to get what you deserve because you're asking for it.
There are people who will not like Elden Ring but they will respect it.
Ffs, i fucking hated when DArk souls 1 came out and people were calling it a " defining genre" (which is true now).

I am not a fan of Eldin Ring. Not to say I hate the game, cuz I don't, but only because I don't mesh well with the brutal difficulty of the Souls-Borne style.
I have played about 15 mins of Eldin Ring and have invested about 6 hours total in the DarkSouls/Bloodborne/Eldin Ring franchise. So barely anything at all. And while I don't like playing it, I still feel that this is one of the greatest games of all time. Very rich lore that is delivered piece-meal in an organic and realistic fashion. A power grind that brings the player up from less than a pawn to a god. Highly varied equipment and stats that encourage numerous playstyles. Loads of side content.
I may not enjoy playing the game personally, but I enjoy watching real fans play and I would love to just listen to a 12 hour long video on all the lore of this game.

Elden Ring is the first game in over a decade to make me remember why I fell in love with gaming. I've already almost let go of dreams of a good game and dismissed it as childhood nostalgia and manchild foolishness. Now I know I'm not crazy for thinking 99.99% of games I saw in the last decade were complete and utter trash. Now I know there is hope for gaming. This game is so far beyond anything I've experienced in gaming, I really see it as the pinnacle of the art form capable of bringing entire gaming into a Renaissance and out of the current corporate trash Dark Ages.
Yes exactly, feels like something that stands out of cookie cutter mold everyone has been using to create games in the last 10 or more years. It doesn't hold your hand, makes your use your own instincts and create your own path. AAA gaming has been driven into ground with clones of certain titles within big publishers and excessive monetizing of those games. This game truly does feel like a breath of fresh air and a proof that singleplayer titles are still very relevant in our gaming world.
That's the feeling I had when I played shin megami tensei 3 for the first time a few years ago. It wasn't trying to be like every rpg and wasn't afraid to put the player through a challenge which is something in common with dark souls. The fear of challenging the player or innovating and the lack of integrity from the devs/publishers is what makes modern games so hollow.
true and real
Lol. Elden Ring appeals mostly to incels that have horrible self esteem, so have fun with that reality
this game makes me remember the time when i played skyrim and combined it with dark souls, i feel like i'm playing dark souls and skyrim again for the first time, the joy of exploration and finding stuff for your own sure it challenging i love challenging game, but yeah i'm so happy in the end
I think Margot works as a first boss because it's basically the game telling you to turn around and do something else. He blocks your way until you explore and get strong enough with enough experience in order to take down that obstacle
I'd agree to a certain extent. I think fighting him with a one-handed weapon is significantly easier than using any large weapon on the second phase. Its nearly impossible to hit him without being punished.
That and he basically tells you to not roll all the time. He delays most of his attacks
@@whyareyouhere6274 yall learned lessons from the bosses? I just killed them through brute force and got as many hits in as I could
@@SunnyDSovereign you do that to margit?
@@whyareyouhere6274 yeah ez boi
As someone who started my souls journey with elden ring and then moved to ds3 I can confidently say Elden ring has the easiest start push that makes you going even with Margit as a hard boss for beginners I cant believe how people didnt get curious to explore the whole map ( aka Limgrave I actually thought thats the entire map lmao ) before fighting Margit again is beyond me
Oh I'm playing through Bloodborne now and yeah Elden ring really is the easy mode of the series. Just the first fog gate boss Father Gascoigne could clap the entirety of Limgrave on his own.
I completely agree. I played all the souls games except Bloodborne (PC) and DS3 gives you a skill check at the start
I do have my issues with a few mobs in the game (fucking red wolves showing up in areas that don't allow summons), but this guy's opinion is just straight up wrong, plain and simple.
You don't get to complain about not understanding the controls when you can just go to the damn menu for control edits and see what button is lock on.
In this same boat, though I played a few hours of sekiro first. Loved ER, love DS3 although I miss jumping at will lol. Both great games that teach you how to win, just gotta pay attention and be patient.
I went half way through caelid before killing Margit, I'm so sad I still haven't been able to beat it. < I broke my ps4 over 2 years ago and it still hasn't been fixed. ( I used to play competitive and got mad and hit it)
I did over 70% and beat the main story line, got a secret ending in 90hrs casual play. Hard game? Sure, take 10 mins to learn how to counter,cheese, or kill from a distance if you find yourself in a difficult spot.
Elden Ring was also my first Dark Souls game however it is not a secret that they can be difficult. So I watched a couple videos to give me a good start. I actually think Elden Ring is a good entry point because the open world allows you to play to your strength (I did Caelid before Rennala)
Same, ER is m first Fromsoft game, but I got through the NG+2 and the full achievement list in 150 hours, as to playing to my strengths I carried the damn Guts sword through the whole game after I got ported to the far side of Caelid even when the thing is hot garbage in some encounters. I learned Ultra-Greatsword I'm gonna use Ultra-Greatsword.
True, but after revisiting the old games, I’ve noticed how most of elden ring is really just cut content or enemies from other games jammed into an open world. Granted, it’s a beautiful open world, but it still felt kind of cheap when I’d have to fight the same boss 5 times
@@thefreshprince310 mini dungeon doing what they created for: thing you do for fun while explore. They not gonna design a whole new boss for mini dungeon, buffed up high class enemies are enough to give you motivate to beat them. Forcing you to spend hours and hours to learn a miniboss move is still too much even for fromsoft, they know you dont want to spend hours fighting a single mini boss when you can run around and fight easier mini boss instead
@@thefreshprince310 alot of it is cut content cuz this was what they've been working towards in the other ones this is a culmination of mechanics and ideas from sekiro, Bloodborne, and souls and adds new things like mounts to the mix
There are people like Gawr Gura that straight up attacked Varre in the beginning, and she did kill him after a few tries. That dude that gave up is 110% a beta.
Zero balls on that man
Well the maidenless comment got to her.
@@DALKurumiTokisaki I wonder how she will do against malenia since she’s also parriable
Gura did to Varre what we all wanted to do but were scared to because of possibpe future quests. She's a GigaSharkChad
to be fair gawr gura is definitely better at gaming than that maidenless dude .
This is the first time I've watched asmongold, and I've gotta say I'm really pleasantly surprised at how thoughtful and empathetic his commentary is.
He had the same perspective as these people when he started his souls journey. Got humbled then got God and now he's here
lotta hate on asmon. (even i n area chat when im just chilling in lost ark) and they don't even watch him. funny because i just watched an asmon vid where the reviewer didn't even play Elden Ring and hated it... like why? use your own brain. "you really are your fathers children think for yourself don't be sheep."
i recommend his IRL channel called zackrawrr if youre into the grounded and more serious stuff he talks about
100% hes not afraid to speak his mind and admit when he his wrong. Genuine content.
He only make good content
I have a friend that hates elden ring coz he trieds killing varre. He complained that everything is hostile, found an npc that isint, asks me if he can kill him, I say you can try (meaning to imply he'll probably lose.), Hits him, asks what happened, and gets mad. I don't understand what he thought would happen.
Is this guy seriously going to insult the entire ER player base with "this is a game for people with no family, no friends, and no life" and then complain when people say he has no credibility?
Why are you hating me? I just said you are looser guys
Basically him
Honestly that’s my biggest issue peoples “opinions” can’t just be opinions they have to be facts that they will defend to their dying breathe and if you disagree your wrong but don’t attack me it’s just my opinion.
"kinda sounds like you're going through an abusive relationship" Given the fact Quantum harasses people and lies all the time, I'd say his wife is going through the same thing.
He's MARRIED? Holy fuck.

Ah dude lol harsh and more lols
He's is maidenless man lmao
1:14 There's already an easy mode, just use one of the better spirit summons and upgrade it to +10. Miyazaki added an easy mode without adding an easy mode, there you go lol.
Even just the Jellyfish or Wolves you start with, with a few upgrades are insanely powerful, if only to tank/pull aggro off you while you do damage to the boss.
Honestly though.
Put a few points into Vigor/Endurance every now and then, Carry a bow(or other ranged weapon) to pull aggro with sometimes (or shoot the damn birds with the fire barrels), and make some fire jars. Pretend you're Link from Zelda with an assortment of gear, and you'll have an easy time of most things.
Just bested Godrick by using the skeleton militiamen during his second phase.
@@ulfrick11 skeletal ashes are some of the best since they respawn after dying if the enemy doesnt hit their bubble plus their good on taking agro
Let's not forget Hoarfrost Stomp before later patches or the barricade ability for shields which basically lets you tank everything. The game is extremely easy if you want it to be.
i left my mimic at +8 for the longest time because it started feeling too easy. mimic takes aggro off of you and it seems like the mimic has infinite mana. the problem with power like this is its prone to abuse and at one press of a button, you can almost double your power at little to no cost
Sometimes I go to a new area and I’m like “damn there should be a cave or something here” and then I’ll find a cave or something there and I’ll be like “oh that’s sick”
And then Quantum sent a copyright strike, and called up his mom to warn her of the “severe consequences” that could happen to her and Act’s family… Because he was called out on his own monumental incompetence.
Quantum is worse than Mohg.

i downloaded elden ring due to the hype knowing NOTHING about the game i hadnt even seen a trailer. It was a surprise to see it was a souls game but boy oh boy i had never played dark souls and i had so much fun just learning the mechanics and now i have killed fire giant in my 4th try 10/10 no question.
Try other souls like games, while they might not be so grand, they are definitely worth it (I recommend dark souls 1 or 3)
You really should try Bloodborne, i mean all of them are amazing but Bloodborne is my second favourite after elden ring
Then you're a rational human being.
You have got to play the others. It'll change your life.
@@Frozenkex nah elden ring is a 10/10, theres literally nothing to improve
8 months later, and this video is still very fun to watch. It’s insane how much joy you can get from videos about what NOT to do
My first Elden Ring playthrough was rough but when I started a new character after going through 3 endings on my main it was easy because I understood the combat.
Sitting here 7 months later. Elden ring being game of the year.
Yeah, but in a decade full of shit is that really an achievement?
I guarantee you the next bloodborn that's coming out I guarantee you he's going to say the exact same just like he did for Elden ring
@@ryandealrrosa4751if it does
I love how he completely shifts gears when people bring up his plants and it becomes a lil wholesome plant video for a second
I know. Gardening if my passion and the winter months are hard. I just want to talk plants when I see people bust out the pots.
My favorite part is how he trashes the game and its fans after one attempt, then whines about people trashing him after one video.
Isn't that a Karen move?

For someone who has never played a souls game before, but am very open minded towards trying challenging games, would you reccomend it for me to play?
Absolutely dude!
The “if a game isn’t made for everyone it shouldn’t be made” part sent me lol. Truly the most brainlet shit I’ve heard in a long time.
True, like rdr2 awsome game one of best imo BUT if u dont like violence or that style of game it isnt for you 0 games are made for everyone
