My initial reaction to hearing you can’t create a character was also “what a bummer”. That being said, learning that each character has their own individual backstory has me quite excited at the prospect of playing through and learning each one. I’d much rather them take that route in this type of game, rather than doing something like that in their next mainline souls game.
Yup, playing someone who does and is more than an emoting ever-outsider for a change will be cool, good that they're trying stuff like that with their B-Team, perfect usage. Also stuff like Margit stalking you, which apparently was going to be much more prominent in the base game, more than it already was(like him ambushing you in Leyndell outskirts disguised as a commoner). I'm glad we are literally seeing and alternate universe in more than one way.
I understand the hesitancy from people when this game was announced. If we’d have been asked “what do you want fromsoft’s next game to be?”, none of us would have envisioned this. But if there is any game developer that I trust to surprise me in the most unexpected ways, it’s these guys. I have a feeling that upon release, us fromsoft fans are going to feel pretty lucky that we are living in a time where they are doing well enough financially to give us little surprises like these, that we don’t know we want, until we play them… while Miyazaki cooks up whatever he’s working on. That’s my hope.
They also been doing weird games from their inception. If From didn't do stuff like this, we would have never gotten Elden Ring at all. And we'll see what gets integrated into their games, new IP or not
Just crossed 450 hours in Elden Ring after finishing Erdtree. Time for other games... lol But this could definitely bring me back, especially if there is some good lore.
I have never finished a From Software souls game and I’ve played a LOT of them. But I would absolutely love to play the hell out of this and get to experience a lot of those bosses that I couldn’t get to. Everything about this seems like it’s actually removing a lot of my problems that caused me to drop off all those other games. I’m quite excited. Just wish you could customize your own characters. Give me 8 different characters, fine. But let me change their faces if I want.
Dark Souls 2 and Sekiro were the only games that let you refight bosses without having to do a whole NG+ run. I'm glad we're finally getting that back.
I love FromSoftware and will give them the benefit of the doubt here, but no crossplay in a multiplayer-centric game is a huge whiff. Hopefully this changes during development.
I’m looking forward to this, and more importantly - I’m looking forward to watching Nick and Mike do everything in their power to annoy Andy with this.
Omgomgomg coming from someone playing Tiny Tinas Wonderlands ( the spin off??? of borderlands ) The game lets you customize your own class character A LOT, but i feel like the main way to, as you said, express yourself is through the guns. Im having sooo much fun in wonder lands just using diffent, weird, wonky weapon types and variations, as well as soooo many different spells. Sorry for the brief rant ;-;
A bit off topic, but just wanted to say, I just got my Elden Ring/Bloodborne sweaters and I love them! It’s great the pattern isn’t just ironed on and so will last longer. Unlike my favourite RKG Bloodborne sweater which has started to peel a little 😭
I personally don't mind the crossovers from Dark Souls into the Elden Ring space, but the suggested lore behind it feels more like cheesy fanfiction than a detailed plot from a company who has millions of dollars behind it.
I’m really interested to know if the katana wielder will have the perfect block the the whole time I played senior a few times and honestly the combat in that game has destroyed any other game I’ve played it’s literally perfect I want that so bad in this
Its not a real Elden Ring game. Its a rogue like, survival, boss rush. Its the same map every time that you can explore and find gear but shrinks as time moves with randomized gear and minibosses which culminates in a main boss fight.

Sekiro was my first souls game, so seeing them dabble in their own created potagonist(s) lights me up ^-^ im looking forward to it personally :)
fromsoft coulda dropped a full br game and i would still be optimistic about it cause its fromsoft and give it a chance

it's also clearly a side project and not their main big next game...
Nick is 1000% Gonna play that Falcon
IF ONLY WE COULD FLY
Ca caww
Fun breakdown, Andy! All this details and your understanding has me even more excited for this game! Put it on my fantasy draft!

Andy, your so great. You're such an amazing streamer, and I genuinely love your content. Just wanted to give you some love 🫶
Can’t believe they didn’t call it “Soulsbourne”
1:39 How did Andy write over TH-cam ?

THE ARCHER GUY IS MINE AND MINE ALONE.

couldn't you get a Eagle helm in erdtree or did i imagine it?
Couple questions...1, is the voice reel being updated in real time? And B, how do I get access to said reel?

“Thankfully” 😂

Not the kinda game we all expected but I’m feeling optimistic about this after seeing more!
As always well said.
I hope this does Elden ring justice

39:30 Dark souls 2 lets you refight any boss you want but yhe catch is they grt harder every time

This looks amazing, can't wait to team up with some BFs. 💙
I wonder if the forced classes is an attempt to allow for proper balancing🤔 or they’re just chasing trends for once🤷🏻♂️
For the algo!

shame there's no crossplay
FromSoft don't miss
