“A game that’s not made for everyone isn’t a game that should be made” The paradox of this statement is that if you dumbed down Elden Ring to be for babies, then you’d turn away all the fans that love the challenge, ergo, it’s not for them anymore. There is literally no way to achieve this standard for anything ever, game or otherwise. But Quantum abuses DMCA to silence criticism so fuck whatever he has to say anyway.
That statement made me physically say what. I dont like puzzle games so should all puzzle games not be made? I feel like I lost brain cells after hearing that.
when he said this I immediately just thought of different gaming genres. not everyone like fps, not everyone likes rpgs, not everyone likes racing games, not everyone likes horror games. does that mean these genres shld just be deleted?
People need to just accept that every game isnt going to please them, and thats ok, doesnt mean its inherintly bad (unless its a broken unbalanced piece of shit, obvs) And hell, even on the opposite side people gotta realize people wont see eye to eye on things. Ppl gotta agree to disagree too, thats the problem so many of these reviewers have
What I expected: "The input reading is bullshit" , "The late game is unbalanced" , "The boss design is inconsistent" What I got: "Why NPC fight back!?" , "Game ugly" , "This fromsoft game is too hard!!!"
As a friendless orphan, I'm so happy the evil Japanese made this torture device for me to spend 10000 hours on. Luckily, I have that time because of the lack of distraction by anyone
@@PhilipOlesen No, calling the Japanese evil is wrong. What I was saying was that you were intentionally disingenuous regarding your feelings... Unless you ACTUALLY believe the Japanese are evil, in which case, f*** anybody who ever loved you
Yeah, the one game that's actually trying to be for everyone is WoW imho ... and that's what makes the game increasingly worse. How about pleasing half of MMO fans (which is still a LOT of people) and disappointing the other half, instead of slightly disappointing EVERYONE :D. Trying to make a game for everyone is guaranteed recipee for making bad game.
I have never seen someone shoot themselves in the foot and blame the bullet on everyone else faster than QTV's dip-shittery. Holy shit, the guy continues to dig himself deeper into his own hole. Act Man is going to clean this idiot's entire livelihood and end this man's whole career.
@@ToaGresh300 But he did though. He fully admitted to it and showed that he did it. Act's mother had nothing to do with any of this but he still went after her.
@@SH-bm4fn I did, I wouldn't say this if I was wrong. He went after the act man's mother. He uploaded evidence of it, and other people covered it showing what he said. Really? Couldn't get a hold of him when the act man reached out to him on Discord? Okay.
Yeah, it's wild to me that he was so confident that this game would be that forgettable. Like it's one thing to trash the game, but it seemed pretty objective that the game wouldn't just die down
Fr. Like I literally laughed at that part since he said that now two years ago, and I am someone new getting into the game that is STILL talked about so greatly to this day. If anything, he will be forgotten, and that actually is a fact
@@QuatarTarandirtbh bloodbourne/sekiro/dark souls 3 are still talked about today as well. There is very few games that have achieved stuff like that, and fromsoft has 4 at least.
@Paul Martin true, but there was other reasons for why it was hated, its liked more these days since its the last ac to feel like an assassin, and theres less bugs in the game then on release
Two years later I'm here as a first time player on souls games. Picked up Elden ring literally 4 days ago. I'm getting absolutelly shit on by every single enemy. And I can safely say this game is fucking amazing.
@@Rocco049 After you git gut the combat feels AMAZING. Every (story) boss feels like a dance and finally beating them is so satisfying. Good luck on beating the game and God bless you
Same I got it cause a friend told me for the multiplayer lmao and we discovered it's not really a multiplayer game but still definitely going to play it with how great it is
yeah. and hell, even down to the fundamental core, games are objectively exclusive by default a racing game is not made for people that dont like racing games a fighting game is not made for the people that dont like fighting games a sports game is not made for the people that dont like sports games and so on exclusivity is not a bad thing, more often than not its better because spreading your approach thin, leaves your substance almost run dry so not trying to appeal to the most audiences possible means there's more resources poured into the experience. the world has gotten so bothered by making everything about inclusivity and accessibility (which the latter is fine) that they end up harming the quality of the product, and its kinda sad to see tbh
Exactly. What exactly is a game made for everyone? That's a pretty arbitrary thing anyway because you can never please all of the people all of the time.
I laughed out loud when I found out the developer ragging on Elden Ring for having bad UX was a UX designer for Battlefield 2042. My dude, you are in no position to tell anyone a damn thing about UX.
"I start the game, I accidentally attack this NPC three times while he tells me to stop..." Aw man, classic. "Why do I get punished for acting rash and thoughtless in this game?!"
All of these people with shit reviews and game devs with terrible takes think games have only 2 possible setups for players. It's the most linear hand holding as possible because we wouldn't want the players to have any ideas of their own or get lost or have to think. Or have it setup so you can just be a total murder hobo with no consequence or boundaries in the game whatsoever. There are only 2 sides and it's the complete extremes. Nuance in game design? Pfft, wow you must be terrible at making games!
Reminds me of this time I saw a complaint about undertale where they were angry you were locked out of the true/best ending if you killed someone. And that if you killed everyone (which is a very difficult thing to do accidentally), you’re permanently punished. Some ppl just hate the idea of any form of consequences in video games.
@@00koopa I swear one day someone will speedrun a Souls game, while being in the middle of a ghetto gunfight, throwing gang sings at both sides, trying to record a mixtape and play the game on a microphone at the same time
This guy: Tells everyone who likes the game are frendless abuse victims with no life that should off themselves. Also this guy: Why are people commenting mean things? This community is very toxic
@@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778 gamers are probably some of the least toxic compared to other things let's take fans of fromsoft for an instance it doesn't matter if you are a level one player or a master both will play the same game it welcomes all and refuses no one but hey let's paint these fans as toxic when they defend something that they like
My favorite argument is that "when you die you lose literally everything" which makes it sound like you lose weapons and spells and everything which is just comical
" when you die you literally lose everything so you're basically reset which makes levelling up extremely hard" - Tell me you didn't read the tutorial tips about reclaiming your souls without telling me. The best part is that EVERY tutorial note is also available from your inventory too, so you can literally just check them again at any time. It's not like you have to go back to the tutorial area to re-read them. It's insane to me that anyone who seriously tries to call themselves a game reviewer on YT would put out something like that Quantum guy. Something SO incredibly and obviously, factually incorrect, but also with an antagonistic attitude where he tells Elden Ring fans to kill themselves, that they're losers with no life and no family or friends, that the game looks bad, that people who like it are FUCKING ABUSE VICTIMS (honestly the rest of the shit was funny but as someone who was assaulted in multiple ways by a female stalker i had at university, that shit genuinely made me angry) all because that fucking retard couldn't figure out basic shit, and made ZERO attempt to learn about it, ask questions of the fanbase, or spend some time understanding it. Instead he put out an incorrect, offensively antagonistic "review" and then acted surprised that he got shit for it. Nobody cares if you think a game isn't for you or not, but when you put out blatantly false statements and lies in your review, whilst ALSO insulting the people who like it, is it any surprise people aren't like "oh hey now buddy that's not very nice, do you need some help?" but instead react like "Hey fuck you, you lying, idiotic piece of shit. Get good and stop crying".
*"A game that isn't made for everyone, shouldn't be made in my opinion."* Imagine selling little Timmy an A-rated game then finding yourself in a lawsuit.
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else. Gets me frustrated. Just admit that you love the videos I make, my dear jo
The thing with quantum saying that “oh dark souls fans already knew what they were doing” is blatantly false as I played Elden ring as my first souls game and I still had a good time
He called everyone who liked elden ring abuse victims and turns out he was the abuser all along (he got arrested for hurting his wife )maybe it was foreshadowing
That makes sense. The guy has such small peepee energy that he felt emasculated by a videogame and instead of just accepting it wasn't for him he had to have the biggest tantrum in the entire world over it and bend reality to justify that it was the game's fault.
"A game that is not for everyone is a game that should not be made." There it is. That's the worst take. You could have ended the video there. That's the only thing this video needed.
It's a very narcissistic view on things. "If I can't enjoy it, why does it even exist?" I didn't like the Soulsborne series until Bloodborne and Sekiro came out. But I wouldn't want Demon Souls or Dark Souls to not exist. The playstyle of those games just don't appeal to me. That's fine.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Stop spreading misinformation. He said nothing about leaving youtube. His birthday is tomorrow and hes taking a break from social media in the meanwhile. Idk where you got the idea that he left youtube from.
I don´t get, what kind of gamers these reviewers are. Why is Quantum crying like a child? Whiny Babys like him should try something like Blood, Doom 2: Plutonia or Return to Castle Wolfenstein :D
The fact that he complains about how his character was just swinging wildly means he was literally button mashing and acting like it was doing it on it's own lmao.
Never played a souls game and was intimidated by the “difficulty”. 130 hrs later and it’s one of my favorites of all time, right up there with RDR2, Skyrim and New Vegas.
And besides, isn't Elden Ring the most accessible FromSoftware game? The whole Ashes and Summons thing really make the game a cakewalk and it doesn't take too much effort to initially access them. I feel like Ashes and Summons IS the easy mode. It's really cool that they built an easy mode into the game without actually making the game easier.
@@YasaiTsume having been here since Dark Souls 1, yes. Elden Ring is easily the most accessible FromSoft title. That doesn't mean it's easy, but the game gives you so much right off the bat. Get stuck somewhere? Move on, explore, find a dungeon and get a sick new piece of gear to level and use. The game is only as hard as you make it on yourself. It gives you the tools, you just need to learn how to use them. You're going to die, yes, and it WILL be frustrating, but if you learn from those mistakes you'll begin to die far less frequently. "Git gud" is always seen as condescending, but the real meaning was just to always keep at it and put in the effort. Nobody starts good at Dark Souls, we were all filthy casuls once.
I realize that you're probably commending the decent and cool looking/SFW art that people have made, but I am here to speak for my degenerate brothers and sisters in that yes, the art coming out of the community is indeed, so good. ;3
"You lose literally everything when you die." Ignoring the fact that you don't lose everything, just your runes, which you can easily pick up with a button press. Y'know what game you actually do lose EVERYTHING when you die? Minecraft, one of the most popular and sold games of all time. I guess every single person who plays that game has no family because they drop all their items when they die.
When I first started Elden Ring, I hated it so much I beat the game for the first time just to spite it. ...7 NG+'s later, and over 280 hours later, I realize it's peak.
-Bought elden ring -Thought I'd die a-ton then quite -Died ALOT more -Kept dying -died a little more -died for 105 hours later killing all the bosses, doing as many quests as possible -One youtube video and Ng+ later -realized my build was shit and could've died alot less
You know, I love how Quantum acts like he is a victim and that he was attacked for just having an opinion, when said opinion was expressed in the most combative and inflammatory way possible. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't cast stones, mate.
Well said. It’s not even just what you said though, it’s that his opinion is clearly wrong. The subjective things, whatever. But he straight up misrepresents things and wonders why people are mad he’s lying. He needs to put points into self awareness next time he levels up
Art is subjective as story is so yeah that's why Graphical Fidelity is of "almost" universal praise but people like fortnite which isn't realistic or artistically brilliant so yeah... Saying Art good is usually subjective.
One brilliant bit of art direction is how no matter where you are in the world, you can always see the Erdtree. When you get to the mountaintops of giants and see that you're almost into the stratosphere yet still can't see the top of the Erdtree, it really sells how massive and impressive it is, and it makes it all the sweeter when the endgame arrives and you can finally go inside of it.
"every dark souls fan wil die a million times learning that game" my relative who is a very big fan for souls games beat the first boss that you are supposed to die to in his very first ever playthrough
Don't get me wrong, I often go on tangents myself, but I know the difference between being objective and subjective, I am more often than not, subjective, as I say my opinion and when I do so, it's with the obvious statement that it's my opinion, others may agree or disagree, I merely do my best to convey my opinion in such a way I don't try to piss off everyone. Sometimes I still piss people off but that's life. That guy though, he has no idea what the hell he's talking about, dude's gotta be on drugs or drunk, cause he's not making any sense to me.
@@darkrite9000 that's the thing, if he explains what his tangent has to do with his main point, it's kinda okay ish, but he went from A to god knows where with it lmao
After finally just starting elden ring yesterday i don't see how ppl still think it is hard, i mean hell, they have many ways to easily get runes even going as far as to give a seemingly unlimited way of getting golden rune (1)s, all u have to do is run around and break glowing skulls, go back to a grace to reset, find and break more, rinse and repeat
The game awards have always been rigged/biased/paid, the "GOTY" isn't given based on quality but "popularity", Elden Trash is terrible in literally every single aspect 🤢🤮💩
I feel that elden ring is the most accessible out if the souls games, since you can just go a farm some Ai while exploring getting fat on runes for upgrades, every boss has a super weakness so people saying it's too hard are crazy man, this game is the easiest out if all of the souls games but you the player can make it hard just by not exploring fully and just going after the bosses.
Hard disagree. Sekiro has that title as the lack of rpg mechanics means there's no need to find a good build and you can instantly start learning the mechanics. This also makes it potentially more challenging due to not being able to cheese wins by over leveling.
As Iron Pineapple said; "The game is as hard as you make it" Having trouble with a boss? Channel your inner shounen protagonist and train until you get stronger. A certain playstyle not working for you? Try something else. Summons, magic, plenty of ways you can make the game work for you. The fact that Elden Ring is open world means that if there's a boss you're having trouble with, you can just run away and explore somewhere else. The best part is, everywhere in Elden Ring's open world is lovingly crafted.
"There are no cinematic cutscenes that razzle and dazzle" Godfrey's phase transition in his true boss fight is one of the most hype cutscenes in any game I've played. Not that I think Quantum got anywhere near that far.
Radagon’s cutscene when you enter the Erdtree goes so fucking hard, honestly my favorite intro to a boss in Soulsborne. Maliketh’s phase transition is also incredible. So many memorable moments in this game that you can pick from tbh
The "This game is bad because I died a lot" arguement is hilarious. Imagine back in 1997 if everyone just said "Oddworld is awful man, all you do is die."
@@zeehero7280 Good point! I only brought up Oddworld because it has a great story keeping you even more invested.; Abe dying over and over to save his poor Mudokon brothers!
10:05 I thought the whole point of the DS games were to die over and over, learn from your mistakes and improve. I feel like this dude hasn’t heard of the idea of Trail and Error
I always leveled up Vigor/Vitality in Demon's Souls because of the item weight limit, so by doing that, I was able to both carry more items and have higher HP as well.
@Christopher Regan Funny thing is you don't even need THAT much vigor to prevent yourself from being 1 shotted, with just 25 vigor my character still managed to survive getting hit by Rahdan...did I still panic roll till I used my last flask...yes, but still lol
or do what the average player does: use a wiki. This way you can find out what are the good builds, where the good/important items are, the good tactics to beat each boss and how to realistically do the questlines. I am not entirely sarcastic either, just look at the percentages of the achievements. The secret ending that requires you to do a questline has more completions than the standard ending (6.5% more as of now). This means that among the people that completed the game only once and got only 1 of the endings there are more players that got the secret ending. To get this kind of consistency in Elden Ring's contrived questlines it means that most of the players used a guide in their fist playthrough.
Reminds me of this "what if we only made games that were approved by every person on the planet, that would be good right? Well then I guess game production would stop in it's tracks because no game would ever be made again"
Its crazy how he says that that statement is just an opinion, therefore stop attacking him for it... Like, by his opinion, Any racing game, every shooter, every open world every puzzle game, even Wii Sports isnt for everyone, 0 games would exist under this "opinion" lmao
“The name of the game should be ‘You Died’” Fair “Some of the difficulty spikes are severe” Also fair “If you enjoy this game you have no life, no family” And you lost me
I said before that the first guys review was FAR WORSE than Quantums, he didn't even play the game what so ever, but he wasn't such a huge POS as a human being and didn't dig his grave deeper and deeper like Quantum did. Quantum simply doesn't understand THATS what caused him all this pain, not his review, but his sh*tty-ness as a human being did. He genuinely is a bigoted, hateful, spiteful, little man filled with hubris and unjustified confidence (if its not just an act to cover up what I assume are his many many insecurities). Wishing gay people to have been murdered in the PULSE shooting and even beyond that, his comment history is an illuminating insight into the mind of a deeply troubled and unstable person.
Dark souls 4. If this game was released 20 years ago before the console good game drought it'd be ignored. People are starving for anything. Lost ark was praised as much as E.R and thats a glorified mobile game. So this lets me know Elden ring is shit. If it's popular it's probably garbage and I'm right.
"There are no cinematic cutscenes that razzle and dazzle you and break the mold." So a multiarmed axe wielding madman who controls the storm itself cutting off his arm with his axe, then attatching a dragon head to said severed arm and screaming "FOREFATHERS ONE AND ALL, BEAR WITNESS!" While the dragon shoots fire isn't enough?
@@Fujibruhhhhhh When I got to that boss (about 18 hours in, getting to him is the challenge) and I saw that cutscene, my first thought was “I’m screwed”
"You act like your opinions are so much more important than everyone elses" That sums up QuantumTV perfectly. There's a reason he has a such a bad reputation amongst the TV reviewer/enthusiast community, and his elden ring videos are a pretty great example of why.
And honestly just the kind of person he is is why many people dislike him. I commented a few times his words as a quote, "At the end of the day, just kill yourself man" and of course he takes them down. What's worse is he replies to fans saying they don't know where the hate is coming from. He will say things like "idk man, competition is tough these days" or "yeah, haters are everywhere". The audacity of that man. Not even a man. Manchild. Wouldn't be surprised if those fans are alt accounts though, lol.
i actually get where he comes from with his opinion. idk the guy or if hes bad at his job or a bad person but a hate mob coming for a guy because of a credible opinion even though he says some hatefull things, is wrong. you guys don’t understand the harm your comments can do to someone. Again idk what else he did but i dont see a reason to get so much hate.
@@Rictraduzcholatepretoemingles if you look how far he has taken it.....you'll get it. (+ i think calling people abusers and to go kill themselves for liking a game you dont like tends to make people not like you as much.)
My cynicism just sees desperate reviewers trying to gain clicks through outrage. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes not. There's a reason he kept making videos on the game. It got clicks.
Silver lining, he's probably not going to be able to keep that up for long with the bridges he's burning. If he's going about another game in the same way once the buzz around Elden Ring dies down, then everyone can notice the pattern and see that he's just ragebaiting and start to ignore his vapid opinion.
I absolutely agree and a lot of the media works in similar ways by exaggerating things for clicks, it's unfortunately a method that gets attention. In QuantumTV's case though it goes much much deeper than that. It started off being about Elden Ring until he threatened to copyright strike Mischief and some other TH-camr's called him out for it and people discovered some really nasty things he's said which continues to this day. It's a deep rabbit hole.
I had to do a double take when I saw your name, it's weird that I still see you around all these years after growing up watching nerf arena and the other videos.
He talked about the controls. Bloodborne being my first souls game a few months ago….i spent 7 hours in central Yharnam before even getting to the Cleric Beast. Persevered and have since finished the DLC. Gotta keep at it to get better.
Guy that gave up without killing a single enemy is really giving "journalists who can't clear the tutorials" and "game designers that can't aim up to shoot the clearly marked ceiling" a serious run for their money.
"Why is this enemy attacking me, after I attacked him!?" It's called self defense. Also, that NPC clearly warns you to stop attacking him. I swear people who can't even grasp the basics of video games are dumber than a rock.
@@chainsawboy2388 Probably, but someone seeing this and coincidentally happen to be a QTV fan might take it as sarcasm, just wanted to cover my bases, basically.
I feel sorry for him because he acts like he got his ass beat just fighting the disc tryna get it in his xbox and the elden ring disc went dominatix on his ass
As someone who's first souls game was Elden Ring... honestly it's a very good opening soulslike in my opinion. If you feel like a challenge, you can take on a boss underleveled and really appreciate their movements with great reward. If you want an easier time, then you can farm runes in another area/go do something else and come back whenever you've leveled up/feel like it. Considering what I've heard about other souls games, because of the open world and free rune farming it's probably the easiest souls game-not even including the many builds, including op ones. Maybe I've just gotten good, or my build is good, but this game has great difficulty scaling for everyone since you can decide when you want to do certain bosses and areas, plus rescale your character whenever after you defeat a certain boss. It sounds like Quantum just didn't want to learn boss movements/level f*cking vigor! PS: Thank you for coming to my ted talk
“I tried driving for the first time. I was very drunk, ignored driving lessons, and drove the opposite way down the highway. 0/10” - these reviewers with other things in their lives.
The funniest thing about the whole "easy mode" debate is that Elden Ring offers the player more tools to make the game easier than any other FromSoft game.
well... Elden Ring gave these tools and subsequently NERFED these items and weapons in further patches/updates of the game... so it ended up being pointless... I hope people out there preserve the original version 1.00 of the game, when I play it I want to play the ORIGINAL thing, with everything "broken" as I may wish (because after all these things are OPTIONAL)
The people insulting this game are 'Natural born Contrarians'. Some people, when they see something held high and praised are deeply compelled by instinct and, not by conscious thought to find the reason said thing is to be scorned. This is evident by how FAR they go in the opposite direction of consensus. Basically, They're weak willed idiots not in control of themselves...lol... The Souls games kicked my ass and made me stop. But at no time did I disparage them for their difficulty. I was just like....huh... Man I need to "Get Gud" if I'm gonna beat THESE Fuckers...lol... Some day I'm gonna go back and beat Sekiro. As of right now the shortcut sits on my PC desktop mocking me and daring me to try...lol... :D
"Why NPCs attack me?" I laugh so hard at this. It's like his first action when meeting someone for the first time is punch that person in the face and expect them not to fight back. Brilliant!
Guilty but only because of curiosity, i had never really played an rpg (except skyrim) where you could hit npc like that when first playing dark souls 1, i was so surprised I hit him two more times to see what it would do and firelink shrine became a death trap
It's even funnier because, with the exception of *Beast Clergyman, an NPC will NEVER attack without warning even when provoked. They will usually just grunt in pain if you accidentally hit them, persisting will get at least one more warning before they fight back. You cannot "accidentally" provoke them, you have to intentionally deal significant damage before they will fight. They just fight HARD, which makes it less fun to bully them. *He turns hostile when you next meet him automatically, but you respawn behind a pillar placed in his LOS. If he's too tough the devs made sure you can rest/warp safely as he will not spot you until you move closer to him. He can only ambush you once, after that you are safe to prepare.
@@leiderhosen7110 I absolutely stunned that he can make complain like that. The npcs are like "Yo cut that shit stop hitting me" unless he play with cover over his eyes and ears plugged =)))
@@bokute2020 he 100% got asshurt at being called a virgin and thought it was like Skyrim where you can set it to novice, massacre a town without challenge, then reload and act like nothing happened. Even the npcs play for keeps. That's why you have the turtle pope.
Core gamers: "The text overlay should really go away on any input, this would have been bad design in the 90's. Why can't fromsoft ever improve?". Actman: "Let me highlight some bad takes of a noob so I can claim any criticism is invalid." Quantum TV is a clown - no disagreement there. But let's not pretend Actman is a rational adult.
@@miketike3246 I agree - in the same vein that an 8 year old is a lot more grown up than a 3 year old. Personally I dislike ER because it is just so very janky. I can deal with some level of weird input schemes in action RPG's - I love both witcher and gothic after all. But the souls games just deviate too far from anything that I consider enjoyable game design and hence I do not enjoy them. Why is the pause function hidden in a submenu for example? If you can look past these things and enjoy the game, I'm happy for you but personally I expect more polish on functional game elements. Someone who pretends that this puts me on the level of Quantum TV just isn't someone I can take serious.
@@stefankuhn7830 I like the way you present your dislike for the game, you don’t really come off as an asshole, but the pause function isn’t meant to be a thing to enhance the experience. Everywhere in elden ring is meant to keep you on edge, thats the whole point, and adding a pause feature would mess with that experience. If you want to pause and have a break, then you can take the time to go through the menus and do the weird pause menu thing.
I die in two hits also, but I am just dumb and level strength, Dex, endurance, and faith(or what ever faith is in the game) so I literally get two shot from the most easiest bosses. My viger is currently at 26 so I have no health.
10:43 bro Im going to the freaking junior Olympics for fencing and training every day, I'm in highschool, I have multiple fencing clubs I go to, I have a co-op I go to, on top of other things during the week and the fact then when we do play video games (which is like 3 times a week) I have to share 1 PS5 with 2 siblings and my Dad. AND I STILL HAVE AM DECENTLY GOOD AT ELDEN RING AND ENJOY THE GAME! Making that guy's argument purely based off a skill issue and his braindead reasoning.
I can understand if Quantum just said outright that Elden Ring wasn’t his cup of tea. I can respect that even. The reality is that not every game can possibly appeal to everyone. Some prefer casual and relaxing games that are a walk in the park, while some prefer ones that are specifically designed to challenge their skills. But to shit on a game that a ton of people clearly enjoy, and present your opinion as the only one that matters is just unfair.
Not defending Quantum at all here, but the fan base is toxic. I was absolutely shit on by the Reddit community and banned because I told them that Elden Ring is the same game FromSoft have been making for 10+ years now.
@@duckieg420_4 Concept: Every fan base has toxic people who are often the loudest and it's more accurate to call an individual person toxic (Quantum is toxic) than to call an entire group of people toxic just because some of them say mean things on the internet sometimes.
I recently introduced my dad to elden ring. He’s about 57 and isn’t new to video games as he has played all the halos and beat them on legendary, but never played a souls borne game. We created his character and I was letting him learn the game. He went from dying to a wandering noble to bitch slapping godrick. Not because he’s insanely good at the game but because he didn’t give up and tried different options and used the vast amount of mechanics the game provides. Now when I see him dodge roll around an enemy attack or guard counter I think back to when he was just starting the game. The struggle is what makes the game fun for him. He likes challenges and when you overcome a challenge and become even more powerful it’s a great feeling.
Genuine question. Now that Quantum is in prison for beating his wife, do you think he'd play Elden Ring if it was the only game they allowed him to play?
@@pyro4914 Was arrested for abuse against his wife. I'm pretty sure he's not actually been sent to prison, but is required to wear an ankle monitor or something like that
The “go unalive yourself” comment really hits hard. Part of why I started Elden Ring was seeing videos on the phenomenon of people dealing with mental health struggles by playing souls games. I’m early on in Elden Ring, but it’s showing me that anything can be accomplished if you don’t give up. His words were cruel, especially to this community. In the words of those who came before me, “Don’t you dare go hollow.”
I felt this. EldenRing is the only game that made me feel alive again after going through some dark times. I feel at home everytime I am in the Lands Between. It gets super frustrating when you hit a certain point that you fight a boss for hours on end only to call it quits at one point to grind some more to boost your fighting chance and still spend another ungodly amount of time for the next attempt. But all those frustration gets washed away once you finally conquer that hurdle. Like shit, I almost lost my sanity fighting the Fire Giant my first playthrough due to the godawful times I had to ran back, buff up just to die multiple times I can't even remember how many. It was exhausting af but I never quit until I broke that mfs leg and eventually slayed the fkin poor bastard, Only to experience same goddamned thing when I finally faced Maliketh. 😂 But I never did quit because through the frustrations and roadblocks I find EldenRing very much enjoyable. That was only the first playthrough which was vanilla hack and slash af and I haven't even tried the plethora of different builds I could make. I didn't even understand most of the movesets, buffs and Talismans the first playthrough but I still found the game enjoyable. EldenRing is game of the year and it fuckin deserved that spot. PS. Elden Ring is my first Soulsborne so it was a batism by fire. 😂 But I finished the hell out of that game and still playing it to this day.
Kinda makes sense why every few messages will either be self depreciating jokes or "don't give up!" Recently fought the mimic boss and put down the message "why is it always weak foe?"
One of my buddies refunded the game after barely playing. His story is as follows: He starts the game, talks to Varre, and then attacks him after being called "maidenless", keeps dying to him, ignores him and goes towards the big golden tree because it was the "critical path", gets his ass kicked by the Tree Sentinel a few times, and refunds. He ended up re-purchasing the game a few weeks later and now can't stop playing as he's nearing the end.
@@BraveMoji I swear I must be one of like 5 people that liked that game. I actually enjoyed the changes the exosuit stuff brought to the table, I guess I’m a nobody. Woe be my maidenless self.
I almost spit out my drink when the guy said “it isn’t fun for people new to the franchise” Elden ring was my first souls game and I had the time of my life
“A game that’s not made for everyone isn’t a game that should be made” The game needs you to have eyesight therefore shouldn't have been made because blind people are excluded.
Same, i still remember when i played Dark Souls 3, my first souls... 2 years ago. And rn im playing Dark Souls 1, a game that (originally) came out 11 years ago
This was my first souls game.... ever. Completely new to the style, with a decent amount of fighting game experience. I died a lot, learned, and then continued. Now on my 3rd run of the game. (edit): thinking of continuing my journey into soulslike games. im thinking of either sekiro or bloodborne, but thought i would seek the opinion of random people on the internet first
It was also my first time in a souls game, I have played a lot of games that requires reflexes and have been used to paying attention to details in games, never have I ever exhausted myself with Elden Ring, I am now addicted to it.

Holy hell, Quantum wins the price for the worst salty take on a game I have seen in years. He either sucks at Elden Ring or just doesn't like Souls games in general. But he doesn't have the guts to admit it. This is weird since Elden Ring is one of the easiest Souls games made to date. Are we sure he ain't just rolling the whole web? FromSoftware is one of the game Devs that gives a fudge about their fans. They deserve the praise. Yes, the game was buggy at launch (hello gaming industry we have known for the last 15 years). The only problem it still has is the unstable framerate here and there. Still one of the best games I have played in years
And the framerate isn't even a problem on console. Out of roughly 130 hours of playing on PS5, my frames have only dropped once and it lasted no more than a second
@@Libertyprime2 I mostly fixed the issues on PC by going into Nvidia Control Panel and set my Shader Cache Size to 10 GB. I still get weird drops to 54 in some areas. But out of my 56 hours it has been mostly stable. Had one weird load where the fps was stuck at 24 fps for some reason. But have not seen it again. So the game still needs updates, but it's much better after patch 1.03
In my opinion the fact that some bosses like Melania can be so hard and take tons of attempts makes it feel so much more rewarding when you finally beat the boss
Tbh you have no right to talk about difficulty. It's literally open world game therefore if you go boss rush you gona get killed and pointing towards optional boss's and say they are hard is just like pointing to the sun and say it's bright
@bobk896 your comment has almost nothing to do with what was said. Comprehension is hard I suppose. It's difficult weather you level up or not. You can elect to not boss rush and it'll still be hard. That's the point. The challenge is real.
@@bobk896I’ll talk about difficulty because sometimes the hitboxes get a little quirky at night. I’m ok to dying, but if I die to a whack hitbox alt f4 is getting pressed
Saying being a Souls fan is like being, "An Abuse Victim", is so shitty, but low key so fucking hilarious, I love it. That's the only credit I'll give that guy's video.
At the end, people still beat the games over and over again. If the players are "abusive victims" and the games are the "abusers", beating the games is like kicking the abusers' asses.
I am a masochist. And when I die 20 times in sekiro I don't get a hard on. Like everything I'm hearing from this guy is completely ridiculous bro 😭. I honestly hope this game becomes game of the year just to piss him off lmao
I'm a 46 year single mother of two small children with a job. I loved this game! Never played any souls games and yes it took me until a week ago to beat it but it is the best 60 but I ever spent. The game is beautiful and challenging I just loved it!
5:43 plus the fact that he says “do you even comprehend the gravity of the situation.” That immediately made me think “yeah I probably don’t, let me not do that.” On my first playthrough
Attacking an NPC is one thing, but who in their right mind sees a horse riding knight with a halberd and thinks to themselves he's gonna not fold your ass like a napkin
He's probably a Skyrim player, don't question the man's bad decision making... cause he probably needs a Quest Tracker to be told what to do and barely pays attention to NPC's talking. you know, low attention span drones.
But with every enemy you fight, the more you fight it, sometimes the easier it gets. And the tree sentinel is no exception. I start my second playthrough & I beat him in 2 tries
I can’t even say attacking an NPC is one thing considering every neutral NPC will give you three hits to reconsider your decision to attack them, THREE HITS to decide whether or not that fight is worth it Unless their character is dying or they’re a friendly NPC *Vietnam flashbacks to accidentally killing Boc*
@@3l_Raro Also the mimic summon, post nerf it make a lot of the bosses a breeze. In a lot of the dungeon boss fights I've just let it run wild and it's solo'd quite a few bosses
I dont want easy mode, I like hard games and I think making it easy would make it far less compelling, but I still dont like the game personally. Difficulty is the only part where still makes me curious to play, just to prove a point to myself that I can beat it. If it was easy, I wouldnt find any reason for it to exist. Sorry, dont like it, I actually regret buying it, but I couldnt resist the hype. Maybe I am complete idiot, but I dont see any story in this game, fans keep saying it has story, but I clocked 30 hrs, you can beat God of War or Guardians of the Galaxy time and experience epic story, but in Elden ring, I still have no clue what is going on if anythings going on. I dont like idea of reading weapon descriptions to get a story, that is downgrade from 76 tape recordings. Its an enternatining sandbox where I can roam around and challenge myself at unfair enemies, but I see this game as classic MaKe YoUr OwN FUn game, and to me, thats acceptable only in strategy and sports games, not RPGs. Bosses are very unpredictable, they have counters and unscripted moves and strategies, it is seriously almost like facing human, not AI NPC. ANd thats an absolutely stunning technical achievement, but is it fun? I get stuck on a boss, sometimes I take 85% of his life and get very close, sometimes I come closer and get killed in 1 seconds. I did nothing different, but thats just how it goes. After beating number of bosses, I found boss encouter design to not be fun, a lot of times they are designed to be lucked out, not to be figured out. Like I can beat a boss after 50 times, cause I suck, but if I try beating him again, I probably wouldnt beat him for another 50 times, I just got lucky that one time. Spoony once said that big daddy from Bioshock infinite is not really a boss, but rather a dick up your ass, and this is what these bosses are man. I know I need to ''get gud'', but man its not really that fun. Once I was stuck on Shadow of war orc who was so OP compared to my level, and I got mad, but it was still fun to engage him in battle, cause that Arkham system is just so fun, and you are in such control, everything is so reponsive. In Elden ring, you move so slow, while enemies are so fast, you cant cancel animations, which will lead to your death many times, enemies stagger you every time, put you in 3 second stagger animation, but they can kill you in 1 or 2 seconds easily. You can dodge 2 meters, but enemy hit range is often like 5 meters. I get that this is hard, but this just sucks any fun out of it, its hard for infuriating reasons I find. Classic mistake you can make in this game is lack of patience, if you patient you can beat a lot of these guys, but a lot of other guys will kill you constantly even if you dont make mistakes, and you just need to grind until you get lucky. Honestly. In Bloodborne, beating a boss fills you with pride of achievement. In this game I dont get that, because most bosses I beat, I lucked out after grinding, thats it. 30 hours in, I still dont know wha tto do, I constantly need to google stuff, cause shit if game told me how to use magic, or ashes of war or anything, game just assumes you are expert, and maybe you suppose to be SOuls veteran to play this game, which I am not. Or maybe I am just stupid. Sorry Act man, Not a fan of this game at all, please do make a video of my rant on the game if you find it stupid haha.
i agree with but a part of the rpg genre is too make your own characters and make your own funs. just look at MMO, i dont play them for the story, i play them to be my character in an universe i enjoy
Dude… My father started playing this by only watching me play it. He said “holy shit this game looks dope” and he only plays Windows card games. He didn’t like dieing over and over and over again but in the end he found ways to enjoy it. Most of the times he was just wondering around in the game enjoying the scenery.
I have a friend like this. They don’t like playing the actual game really cus they just don’t have a video game brain but they love watching someone play because of the setting and everything. They seem to get just as much enjoyment out of watching a boss battle or new area being explored as someone who’s actually playing it themself.
Same here, except it’s kind of flipped for me. My father actually showed me the game. It was then that we both learned how amazing (yet difficult) this game is. Now he watches me struggle trying to get a past the first boss. 😅

“A game that’s not made for everyone isn’t a game that should be made”
The paradox of this statement is that if you dumbed down Elden Ring to be for babies, then you’d turn away all the fans that love the challenge, ergo, it’s not for them anymore. There is literally no way to achieve this standard for anything ever, game or otherwise.
But Quantum abuses DMCA to silence criticism so fuck whatever he has to say anyway.
That statement made me physically say what. I dont like puzzle games so should all puzzle games not be made? I feel like I lost brain cells after hearing that.
Expertly put Critical!
I personally don’t like souls like games cause how hard it is but I’m not going to bash on someone who likes it
when he said this I immediately just thought of different gaming genres. not everyone like fps, not everyone likes rpgs, not everyone likes racing games, not everyone likes horror games. does that mean these genres shld just be deleted?
People need to just accept that every game isnt going to please them, and thats ok, doesnt mean its inherintly bad (unless its a broken unbalanced piece of shit, obvs)

a fighting game is not made for the people that dont like fighting games
a sports game is not made for the people that dont like sports games
and so on
exclusivity is not a bad thing, more often than not its better because spreading your approach thin, leaves your substance almost run dry so not trying to appeal to the most audiences possible means there's more resources poured into the experience. the world has gotten so bothered by making everything about inclusivity and accessibility (which the latter is fine) that they end up harming the quality of the product, and its kinda sad to see tbh
Exactly. What exactly is a game made for everyone? That's a pretty arbitrary thing anyway because you can never please all of the people all of the time.

All of these people with shit reviews and game devs with terrible takes think games have only 2 possible setups for players. It's the most linear hand holding as possible because we wouldn't want the players to have any ideas of their own or get lost or have to think. Or have it setup so you can just be a total murder hobo with no consequence or boundaries in the game whatsoever.
There are only 2 sides and it's the complete extremes. Nuance in game design? Pfft, wow you must be terrible at making games!
Reminds me of this time I saw a complaint about undertale where they were angry you were locked out of the true/best ending if you killed someone. And that if you killed everyone (which is a very difficult thing to do accidentally), you’re permanently punished.

I'll bet he didn't even read the tutorial screen that tells you that you can recover your lost runes.
" when you die you literally lose everything so you're basically reset which makes levelling up extremely hard" - Tell me you didn't read the tutorial tips about reclaiming your souls without telling me. The best part is that EVERY tutorial note is also available from your inventory too, so you can literally just check them again at any time. It's not like you have to go back to the tutorial area to re-read them. It's insane to me that anyone who seriously tries to call themselves a game reviewer on YT would put out something like that Quantum guy. Something SO incredibly and obviously, factually incorrect, but also with an antagonistic attitude where he tells Elden Ring fans to kill themselves, that they're losers with no life and no family or friends, that the game looks bad, that people who like it are FUCKING ABUSE VICTIMS (honestly the rest of the shit was funny but as someone who was assaulted in multiple ways by a female stalker i had at university, that shit genuinely made me angry) all because that fucking retard couldn't figure out basic shit, and made ZERO attempt to learn about it, ask questions of the fanbase, or spend some time understanding it. Instead he put out an incorrect, offensively antagonistic "review" and then acted surprised that he got shit for it. Nobody cares if you think a game isn't for you or not, but when you put out blatantly false statements and lies in your review, whilst ALSO insulting the people who like it, is it any surprise people aren't like "oh hey now buddy that's not very nice, do you need some help?" but instead react like "Hey fuck you, you lying, idiotic piece of shit.

@@YasaiTsume having been here since Dark Souls 1, yes. Elden Ring is easily the most accessible FromSoft title. That doesn't mean it's easy, but the game gives you so much right off the bat. Get stuck somewhere? Move on, explore, find a dungeon and get a sick new piece of gear to level and use. The game is only as hard as you make it on yourself. It gives you the tools, you just need to learn how to use them. You're going to die, yes, and it WILL be frustrating, but if you learn from those mistakes you'll begin to die far less frequently. "Git gud" is always seen as condescending, but the real meaning was just to always keep at it and put in the effort. Nobody starts good at Dark Souls, we were all filthy casuls once.
Yeah, I have barely played souls games and while it's hard, like all other souls games it's not impossible and takes some trial and error.

One brilliant bit of art direction is how no matter where you are in the world, you can always see the Erdtree. When you get to the mountaintops of giants and see that you're almost into the stratosphere yet still can't see the top of the Erdtree, it really sells how massive and impressive it is, and it makes it all the sweeter when the endgame arrives and you can finally go inside of it.

It’s crazy how recently there was a guy who trained his goldfish to beat the DLC. What a world we live in.
I feel that elden ring is the most accessible out if the souls games, since you can just go a farm some Ai while exploring getting fat on runes for upgrades, every boss has a super weakness so people saying it's too hard are crazy man, this game is the easiest out if all of the souls games but you the player can make it hard just by not exploring fully and just going after the bosses.
Store kit
100% true
Hard disagree. Sekiro has that title as the lack of rpg mechanics means there's no need to find a good build and you can instantly start learning the mechanics. This also makes it potentially more challenging due to not being able to cheese wins by over leveling.
As Iron Pineapple said;
"The game is as hard as you make it"
Having trouble with a boss? Channel your inner shounen protagonist and train until you get stronger. A certain playstyle not working for you? Try something else. Summons, magic, plenty of ways you can make the game work for you.
The fact that Elden Ring is open world means that if there's a boss you're having trouble with, you can just run away and explore somewhere else. The best part is, everywhere in Elden Ring's open world is lovingly crafted.
and you know saying its easier than ds3 is saying something lol, but its still pretty fun
"There are no cinematic cutscenes that razzle and dazzle"

or do what the average player does: use a wiki.
This way you can find out what are the good builds, where the good/important items are, the good tactics to beat each boss and how to realistically do the questlines.
I am not entirely sarcastic either, just look at the percentages of the achievements. The secret ending that requires you to do a questline has more completions than the standard ending (6.5% more as of now). This means that among the people that completed the game only once and got only 1 of the endings there are more players that got the secret ending. To get this kind of consistency in Elden Ring's contrived questlines it means that most of the players used a guide in their fist playthrough.

My cynicism just sees desperate reviewers trying to gain clicks through outrage. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes not. There's a reason he kept making videos on the game. It got clicks.
Silver lining, he's probably not going to be able to keep that up for long with the bridges he's burning. If he's going about another game in the same way once the buzz around Elden Ring dies down, then everyone can notice the pattern and see that he's just ragebaiting and start to ignore his vapid opinion.
oh its you old friend
I absolutely agree and a lot of the media works in similar ways by exaggerating things for clicks, it's unfortunately a method that gets attention. In QuantumTV's case though it goes much much deeper than that.

As someone who's first souls game was Elden Ring... honestly it's a very good opening soulslike in my opinion.
If you feel like a challenge, you can take on a boss underleveled and really appreciate their movements with great reward. If you want an easier time, then you can farm runes in another area/go do something else and come back whenever you've leveled up/feel like it.
Considering what I've heard about other souls games, because of the open world and free rune farming it's probably the easiest souls game-not even including the many builds, including op ones.
Maybe I've just gotten good, or my build is good, but this game has great difficulty scaling for everyone since you can decide when you want to do certain bosses and areas, plus rescale your character whenever after you defeat a certain boss. It sounds like Quantum just didn't want to learn boss movements/level f*cking vigor!

The funniest thing about the whole "easy mode" debate is that Elden Ring offers the player more tools to make the game easier than any other FromSoft game.
Why take the time to actually learn the game and gather those tools when you could just *flip a switch*
well... Elden Ring gave these tools and subsequently NERFED these items and weapons in further patches/updates of the game... so it ended up being pointless... I hope people out there preserve the original version 1.00 of the game, when I play it I want to play the ORIGINAL thing, with everything "broken" as I may wish (because after all these things are OPTIONAL)
The people insulting this game are 'Natural born Contrarians'. Some people, when they see something held high and praised are deeply compelled by instinct and, not by conscious thought to find the reason said thing is to be scorned. This is evident by how FAR they go in the opposite direction of consensus. Basically, They're weak willed idiots not in control of themselves...lol... The Souls games kicked my ass and made me stop.

They will usually just grunt in pain if you accidentally hit them, persisting will get at least one more warning before they fight back. You cannot "accidentally" provoke them, you have to intentionally deal significant damage before they will fight. They just fight HARD, which makes it less fun to bully them.

This is a good lesson on "If everyone around me is telling me im wrong, then maybe im the problem"
The “go unalive yourself” comment really hits hard. Part of why I started Elden Ring was seeing videos on the phenomenon of people dealing with mental health struggles by playing souls games. I’m early on in Elden Ring, but it’s showing me that anything can be accomplished if you don’t give up.
His words were cruel, especially to this community. In the words of those who came before me, “Don’t you dare go hollow.”
He’s a jerk. Elden ring is incredible. And it’s so cool that it gave you a motivational boost. Stay strong.
I felt this. EldenRing is the only game that made me feel alive again after going through some dark times. I feel at home everytime I am in the Lands Between.
It gets super frustrating when you hit a certain point that you fight a boss for hours on end only to call it quits at one point to grind some more to boost your fighting chance and still spend another ungodly amount of time for the next attempt. But all those frustration gets washed away once you finally conquer that hurdle.
Like shit, I almost lost my sanity fighting the Fire Giant my first playthrough due to the godawful times I had to ran back, buff up just to die multiple times I can't even remember how many. It was exhausting af but I never quit until I broke that mfs leg and eventually slayed the fkin poor bastard, Only to experience same goddamned thing when I finally faced Maliketh. 😂 But I never did quit because through the frustrations and roadblocks I find EldenRing very much enjoyable. That was only the first playthrough which was vanilla hack and slash af and I haven't even tried the plethora of different builds I could make. I didn't even understand most of the movesets, buffs and Talismans the first playthrough but I still found the game enjoyable.
EldenRing is game of the year and it fuckin deserved that spot.
PS. Elden Ring is my first Soulsborne so it was a batism by fire. 😂 But I finished the hell out of that game and still playing it to this day.
Kinda makes sense why every few messages will either be self depreciating jokes or "don't give up!"
Recently fought the mimic boss and put down the message "why is it always weak foe?"
He is a jerk I’ve never played elden ring or any game similar just cause there not my cup of tea but I do think they are interesting games
Based, I hope the game has stayed being an enjoyable experience for you :D and i hope your mental health is better too!
One of my buddies refunded the game after barely playing. His story is as follows:
He starts the game, talks to Varre, and then attacks him after being called "maidenless", keeps dying to him, ignores him and goes towards the big golden tree because it was the "critical path", gets his ass kicked by the Tree Sentinel a few times, and refunds.
He ended up re-purchasing the game a few weeks later and now can't stop playing as he's nearing the end.
Really don't understand this urge to attack Varre some individuals seem to have.

Saaame. Working on the platin trophy, even tho I haven't even played that much in the past 3 years. That game is a masterpiece.
I've tried many souls games and this is the only one I've played beyond 20hrs.
“A game that’s not made for everyone isn’t a game that should be made”
The game needs you to have eyesight therefore shouldn't have been made because blind people are excluded.
What he really means is "A game that’s not made for ME isn’t a game that should be made"
supersmash bros is trash cuz i prefer open world games hence it shouldve never been made
"I hate every FPS games because everyone floors me at my first time playing the game. It's not made for me"
“A game that’s made for everyone isn’t a game that should be made” Fixed.
i think they should put braile on the controller so that they can experience this game with us
"Nobody will remember this game!"
Me, everytime I play ER: I'll never forget this game. What a masterpiece.
People still to this day remember the original dark souls and demon souls
Same, i still remember when i played Dark Souls 3, my first souls... 2 years ago. And rn im playing Dark Souls 1, a game that (originally) came out 11 years ago
I’ve memorized Godfrey, Godrick, and both of Morgott’s speeches because they are so damn memorable.
Not a masterpiece

This was my first souls game.... ever. Completely new to the style, with a decent amount of fighting game experience. I died a lot, learned, and then continued. Now on my 3rd run of the game.
(edit): thinking of continuing my journey into soulslike games. im thinking of either sekiro or bloodborne, but thought i would seek the opinion of random people on the internet first
*gives Welcome gesture*
Glad you enjoy it because once you're here, you're here forever.
Same with me, but I’m on my 5th rn
It was also my first time in a souls game, I have played a lot of games that requires reflexes and have been used to paying attention to details in games, never have I ever exhausted myself with Elden Ring, I am now addicted to it.
Welcome to hell, we have pizza.

Holy hell, Quantum wins the price for the worst salty take on a game I have seen in years. He either sucks at Elden Ring or just doesn't like Souls games in general. But he doesn't have the guts to admit it. This is weird since Elden Ring is one of the easiest Souls games made to date. Are we sure he ain't just rolling the whole web?
FromSoftware is one of the game Devs that gives a fudge about their fans. They deserve the praise. Yes, the game was buggy at launch (hello gaming industry we have known for the last 15 years). The only problem it still has is the unstable framerate here and there. Still one of the best games I have played in years
And the framerate isn't even a problem on console. Out of roughly 130 hours of playing on PS5, my frames have only dropped once and it lasted no more than a second
@@Libertyprime2 I mostly fixed the issues on PC by going into Nvidia Control Panel and set my Shader Cache Size to 10 GB. I still get weird drops to 54 in some areas. But out of my 56 hours it has been mostly stable. Had one weird load where the fps was stuck at 24 fps for some reason. But have not seen it again. So the game still needs updates, but it's much better after patch 1.03
Fps Problem?Lame man I am using ps5 and there literally no Framerate sh$t Problem here
Jim sterling made a similar video using a similar argument but yeah even he wasent this bad a good second tho
@@dragb9284 Well, Jim Sterling is a.. special kind of human xD
In my opinion the fact that some bosses like Melania can be so hard and take tons of attempts makes it feel so much more rewarding when you finally beat the boss
Tbh you have no right to talk about difficulty. It's literally open world game therefore if you go boss rush you gona get killed and pointing towards optional boss's and say they are hard is just like pointing to the sun and say it's bright
@bobk896 your comment has almost nothing to do with what was said. Comprehension is hard I suppose. It's difficult weather you level up or not. You can elect to not boss rush and it'll still be hard. That's the point. The challenge is real.
@@bobk896I’ll talk about difficulty because sometimes the hitboxes get a little quirky at night. I’m ok to dying, but if I die to a whack hitbox alt f4 is getting pressed
Saying being a Souls fan is like being, "An Abuse Victim", is so shitty, but low key so fucking hilarious, I love it. That's the only credit I'll give that guy's video.
At the end, people still beat the games over and over again. If the players are "abusive victims" and the games are the "abusers", beating the games is like kicking the abusers' asses.
I do enjoy the suffering tho, it makes you feel alive, specially when you beat something that was dominating your ass for s while xD
Pretty sure he stole that joke from yathzee tho.
I am a masochist. And when I die 20 times in sekiro I don't get a hard on. Like everything I'm hearing from this guy is completely ridiculous bro 😭. I honestly hope this game becomes game of the year just to piss him off lmao

I'm a 46 year single mother of two small children with a job. I loved this game! Never played any souls games and yes it took me until a week ago to beat it but it is the best 60 but I ever spent. The game is beautiful and challenging I just loved it!
That is awesome!!
Wow, u are better than that guy then

5:43 plus the fact that he says “do you even comprehend the gravity of the situation.” That immediately made me think “yeah I probably don’t, let me not do that.” On my first playthrough
Attacking an NPC is one thing, but who in their right mind sees a horse riding knight with a halberd and thinks to themselves he's gonna not fold your ass like a napkin
He's probably a Skyrim player, don't question the man's bad decision making...
cause he probably needs a Quest Tracker to be told what to do and barely pays attention to NPC's talking.
you know, low attention span drones.
But with every enemy you fight, the more you fight it, sometimes the easier it gets. And the tree sentinel is no exception. I start my second playthrough & I beat him in 2 tries
I can’t even say attacking an NPC is one thing considering every neutral NPC will give you three hits to reconsider your decision to attack them, THREE HITS to decide whether or not that fight is worth it
Unless their character is dying or they’re a friendly NPC
*Vietnam flashbacks to accidentally killing Boc*
It's funny how people want an easy mode when we've never had more tools to help us along our maidenless journey
@@3l_Raro Also the mimic summon, post nerf it make a lot of the bosses a breeze. In a lot of the dungeon boss fights I've just let it run wild and it's solo'd quite a few bosses
I dont want easy mode, I like hard games and I think making it easy would make it far less compelling, but I still dont like the game personally. Difficulty is the only part where still makes me curious to play, just to prove a point to myself that I can beat it. If it was easy, I wouldnt find any reason for it to exist.
Sorry, dont like it, I actually regret buying it, but I couldnt resist the hype. Maybe I am complete idiot, but I dont see any story in this game, fans keep saying it has story, but I clocked 30 hrs, you can beat God of War or Guardians of the Galaxy time and experience epic story, but in Elden ring, I still have no clue what is going on if anythings going on. I dont like idea of reading weapon descriptions to get a story, that is downgrade from 76 tape recordings. Its an enternatining sandbox where I can roam around and challenge myself at unfair enemies, but I see this game as classic MaKe YoUr OwN FUn game, and to me, thats acceptable only in strategy and sports games, not RPGs.
Bosses are very unpredictable, they have counters and unscripted moves and strategies, it is seriously almost like facing human, not AI NPC. ANd thats an absolutely stunning technical achievement, but is it fun? I get stuck on a boss, sometimes I take 85% of his life and get very close, sometimes I come closer and get killed in 1 seconds. I did nothing different, but thats just how it goes. After beating number of bosses, I found boss encouter design to not be fun, a lot of times they are designed to be lucked out, not to be figured out. Like I can beat a boss after 50 times, cause I suck, but if I try beating him again, I probably wouldnt beat him for another 50 times, I just got lucky that one time.
Spoony once said that big daddy from Bioshock infinite is not really a boss, but rather a dick up your ass, and this is what these bosses are man. I know I need to ''get gud'', but man its not really that fun. Once I was stuck on Shadow of war orc who was so OP compared to my level, and I got mad, but it was still fun to engage him in battle, cause that Arkham system is just so fun, and you are in such control, everything is so reponsive. In Elden ring, you move so slow, while enemies are so fast, you cant cancel animations, which will lead to your death many times, enemies stagger you every time, put you in 3 second stagger animation, but they can kill you in 1 or 2 seconds easily. You can dodge 2 meters, but enemy hit range is often like 5 meters. I get that this is hard, but this just sucks any fun out of it, its hard for infuriating reasons I find. Classic mistake you can make in this game is lack of patience, if you patient you can beat a lot of these guys, but a lot of other guys will kill you constantly even if you dont make mistakes, and you just need to grind until you get lucky. Honestly.
In Bloodborne, beating a boss fills you with pride of achievement. In this game I dont get that, because most bosses I beat, I lucked out after grinding, thats it. 30 hours in, I still dont know wha tto do, I constantly need to google stuff, cause shit if game told me how to use magic, or ashes of war or anything, game just assumes you are expert, and maybe you suppose to be SOuls veteran to play this game, which I am not. Or maybe I am just stupid. Sorry Act man, Not a fan of this game at all, please do make a video of my rant on the game if you find it stupid haha.
Man I would say just grab the rivers of blood katana for easy mode but these dumpster fires can’t even get to mountain top of the giants lmao.
Someone didn't use a blood build lol
i agree with but a part of the rpg genre is too make your own characters and make your own funs. just look at MMO, i dont play them for the story, i play them to be my character in an universe i enjoy
Dude… My father started playing this by only watching me play it. He said “holy shit this game looks dope” and he only plays Windows card games. He didn’t like dieing over and over and over again but in the end he found ways to enjoy it. Most of the times he was just wondering around in the game enjoying the scenery.
That's awesome. Glad someone from an older generation is able to share in the experience of this game.
I have a friend like this. They don’t like playing the actual game really cus they just don’t have a video game brain but they love watching someone play because of the setting and everything. They seem to get just as much enjoyment out of watching a boss battle or new area being explored as someone who’s actually playing it themself.
Same here, except it’s kind of flipped for me. My father actually showed me the game. It was then that we both learned how amazing (yet difficult) this game is. Now he watches me struggle trying to get a past the first boss. 😅
