@@Justnothankyou132 literally 2 days ago i would agree since the game has no replay value outside of PVP, but if you play on PC I cannot recommend enemy/item randomizers enough. makes the game worth exploring again, and has reignited my love for ER :)
I like how on the Castle Super Beast podcast, Woolie and Pat predicted that mainlining the crit path in Elden Ring would leave you completely confused and clueless as to the lore. Then I see NL fighting Maliketh and the words "who the hell is Queen Marika?!" escape his lips. Never change egg, the saga of Thornforge lives on.
Honestly, this may be considered a hot take, but if you mainline the critical path and have no idea what's going on, that's a badly presented narrative, or at least it would be considered one in any other game. I don't get how FromSoft has gotten away with it.
@@BiscotumBecause their thing is environmental storytelling and rewarding the player for reading between the lines, so to speak. The story in these games is meant to be supplementary, not mandatory. Also a big thing for them is not handholding you, both in gameplay and story. They respect your intelligence, which is what made them so refreshing once they got the formula down with Dark Souls 1. Last thing would be that this is their first Soulsborne game that's open world. The other games don't have as much side content in comparison. So I'm not sure what you mean by them getting away with it for so long. If anything, this aspect only really exists in Elden Ring. In the other games if you're not understanding what's happening, that's because you're not paying attention (which is fine, you can totally just play these games for the gameplay. They intentionally make it this way for a reason).
@@Biscotum FromSoft gets away with it because that's been their MO since Dark Souls so people just kinda expect to not fully understand everything. There's multiple people(Vaati) who have built extremely well-paying careers just by telling people what the hell is going on in these games.
@@randomizednamme What do you even mean? I watched the streams. I'm appreciating the really hard work of bentz, collecting and putting all these pog clips together!
Man I felt bad about dying to malenia solo over 100 times, and the crucible knight/misbegotten warrior fight made me feel better Respect to the man for going no ashes no matter how long he was stuck
you never disappoint bentz! my favorite series so far and you enhanced it with your sublime editing. im over here trying to think of the highest praises i can give you but all i guess i can say is youre awesome and i wish you the best
Yes well it would be helpful if the game was a bit clearer in what was good and what was bad. Part of why I prefer Sekiro so much. Theoretically speaking there’s a lot of variance but functionally you get fucked if you do anything you want
@@lagspike7763 his build isn't "terrible", it's just not over powered, also "terrible" builds make players better at the game and force them to learn boss mechanics.
@@Ghorda9 bro the bosses in this game are fucking stupid sometimes. Like astel and Godfrey sure they’re fine but elden beast for example is not a skill game it’s “can I avoid getting fucked by projectiles for long enough to beat the game.” It’s still a fine game but there’s better ways of making players get better at the game than not telling them how the game works.
@@lagspike7763 I'd say what's good is not being a complete mong, it's a good first step. He just consistently does stupid shit, says it's wasteful to level up for an hour but fights the same boss for 4 doing _nothing_ different. I mean.... I think you know what you need to do.
Dude, NL should hire you to edit his videos or you should be the official NL edit channel. My guy’s work is incredible and makes NL’s content so much better
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH THANK YOU!!! I hope you're getting paid, if not reach out to NL, I bet he would pay to upload these vids to his personal channel instead of to yours, but it's just an idea
Amazing edit! NL should def hire you to do stream edits, similar to the 2ndJerma channel for Jerma, cause this is on par, if not better then some of those.
Malenia video coming within the next week
amazing
This was a deep deception
@@VoltOnYT_ wait 29 minutes
@@bentzedits A god amongst men
I love the edit bro really good job
"You think a books never done damage to me? Clearly you've never read Charlotte's Web." is such a good quote omg
so many actual lol's watching this, the man's a good quote
the 2-3 weeks after this game came out was simply magical. Game finally made me feel something I hadnt felt in a long time.
It still is magical
@@Scaevola9449 Nah, only tryhard losers play now
hoping that GOW Ragnarok does something similar in November!
I shut myself off from the internet for over a month to play the game. Was completely and totally worth it.

“He’s not gonna go angel mode yet.”
“He’s going angel mode.”
NL has a gift for comedic timing that’s amazing.
21:42 if NL had edits like this i'd be dying
this part sent me
Thanks for pointing that out. I missed it first time!
that was the moment i exited full screen and gave the video a thumbs up
I played Elden Ring blind, and then watched NL's entire playthrough. Definitely my gaming highlight of 2022.
Dude the animaniacs bit to teach him the boss names absolutely killed me, the edit was 10/10 too, good shit
Your edits are so good, perfect amount, you're funny
Abnormal amount of pog this evening
The cut from "good ending right" to the nightmare Frenzied Flame cinematic 💀 Your editing style is superb!
Glad someone else liked that part as much as i did
man the editing actually adds lots god this is a good video thanks!!
Possibly the best editing I've ever seen
“Beware Bloodloss therefore try Rump” this one did it for me
you want me to do what to you?
idk why but your jokes is the perfect i havent giggled that much in a cut down stream highlight in like forever. your humor is priceless sir love you
1:48 the game really makes you feel like you've touched grass
27:54 this is the funniest man on the internet istg
wow!! over 1h pog, how on earth will I be able to ever thank you for this!!
Try watching the 80 hours of VODs then
@@randomizednamme What do you even mean? I watched the streams. I'm appreciating the really hard work of bentz, collecting and putting all these pog clips together!

Respect to the man for going no ashes no matter how long he was stuck
NL should just hire you at this point
Edit: The misbegotten/crucible fight fucking sent me
I come back to this video every few weeks its just so good, thank you bentz
you never disappoint bentz! my favorite series so far and you enhanced it with your sublime editing. im over here trying to think of the highest praises i can give you but all i guess i can say is youre awesome and i wish you the best
NL going after chat during the misbegotten + crucible fight never fails to make me laugh
I would give a large amount of money to watch this video again for the first times. You are the goat and thank you for your service
He literally threw together a shoddy pure-strength build that hits like a wet noodle for half of the game...
also refused to up his HP, The glass -cannon- pea shooter

The holographic meatloaf sound when the dragon glitched out was perfect
This was definitely worth the wait, hopefully it wasn’t too much work for you. Keep up the pog content
I'm genuinely amazed dan managed to beat this whole thing on base vigor.
The editing is genuinely top tier, havent laughed this much in weeks
amazing vid thank you for taking the time to make it
Enjoyed watching NL play this game more than I could the actual game. Nice work on the highlights
bentz i am so excited
Misbegotten and Crucible was truly pogged especially when he started co-op farming them
Been waiting for a video like this since I couldn't catch the whole stream series. Thanks! Great editing! 😂
editing be pogerific! nice work mate
A full hour plus we'll edited video of NLs best moments during elden ring? Christmas came early, thank you sir this is incredible
Man thank you so much for this, it was fucking great. I genuinely haven't laughed or enjoyed TH-cam like this in a long time. Keep it up King
53:50 Holy shit the callback Kevin Spacey joke has me dying
56:21 that replay got me good
👑 this is for you for uploading

53:51 I love the callback with Kevin spacey replacing Margit in the animaniacs song 😂
Thank you for this absolutely blessed edit, so damn funny 😂💀
The Egg Dad should just straight up hire you, man. Such an enjoyable watch
The editing on this video is just fantastic, wow!
Dude, NL should hire you to edit his videos or you should be the official NL edit channel. My guy’s work is incredible and makes NL’s content so much better
Bless you, this is an amazing edit
NL’s first attempts and first times getting to stage 2 are always the best experiences. ❤😢
absolutely incredible editing of such a goated creator, pog city my dude
NL should just hire you. These edited videos are so good
Fantastic editing man. Very funny stuff
The editing on the Margit montage is succulent. 🧑🍳
The pacing on this is incredible
Playing Elden Ring for the first time with a live twitch chat genuinely sounds like top 10 worst punishments
thank you for this
27:02 holy shit this entire segment had me in actual tears. NASTY
beautiful video thanks a lot for making this.
incredible video, well done
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH THANK YOU!!! I hope you're getting paid, if not reach out to NL, I bet he would pay to upload these vids to his personal channel instead of to yours, but it's just an idea
Eggman our lord and savior with his highest priest bentz injecting pog straight to the cornea,I thank you for this sermon.
So many damn channel points won in that stream.
Its never a bad day to be a doubter 😎
Amazing edit! NL should def hire you to do stream edits, similar to the 2ndJerma channel for Jerma, cause this is on par, if not better then some of those.
Oh my god the s&p500 bit I almost forgot about it so damn good
Fly me to the Moon edit was magical
this is so good the animaniacs bit with kevin spacey was incredible 🤣
Bentz you shouldn’t have. We’re pogging for sure
The animaniacs song of the Elden ring character names is a genius idea. This needs to be a thing.
53:45
holy shit the exact prediction of the fire giant cutscene at 48:30 had me dying
This is everything I ever wanted
Great editing. Thanks for the content!
This edit must have taken you so damn long, big props to you!
my quarral is NOT with this video. it's glorious.
Please, Northernlion, hire this person to make edits for you, this was wonderfully funny, and well edited.
Great edit :) I totally forgot he was glitched on the fire giant this was a hilarious reminder
wow, really good edits on this.
Thank you Lord Bentz, your edits always amuse. I hope you didn't look in my mind while I was asleep thinking about Miranda Lawson. Warm Regards
Awesome video, thank you
Doing gods work. Thank you very much.
Edit: The margit part is amazing.
great edit man
Bentz has blessed us this day
Great work man! Awesome vid!
Well damn thanks for making me want to sink another 100+ hours into this game again, great vid tho
Great edit man. Keep em coming
The pizza cutter is the greatest shit of all time
Yo great job on this! Can't believe you didn't show any of the Melinda fight though.
Great work!
The elden ring era of him dying to the cat boss was hard to get through
I probably shouldn’t spoil myself with all the content before I get to it myself but these edits are too tasty I can’t help it
Unironiucally a great off rip Margin Call plot summary - also good video
Thank you for this hit
Great editing
holy shit the pogs will be legendary
10 times bentz understood the assignment
Really great edit!
This was awesome thank you
