I still need to finish this xpac

100% agree

I think technology in Cyberpunk is a manifestation of turbocapitalism. Developers, being Polish, have experienced first hand how volatile the line between freedom and anarchy of unchecked capitalism is. And what capitalism brings to country recently liberated, by itslef, from communist regime: both good and bad. In case of Cyberpunk the name of the system is corporatocracy. And it's true, we're half way there.

0:24 why didn't you just buy the game? It's on pretty much every modern platform and it tends to go on sale for very cheap quite often.

It’s amazing 9.3/10

If only its a bit longer.

Feeling the same way. Can't stop digging Night City.

I love the darkness of DS3, atmosphere is immaculate. No torch gang

the "something was missing"part was so real as great as elden ring is for me it can never top the likes of ds3,ds1& sekiro

800+ hrs in this game. Been gaming since Atari. Best game ever.

I've been saying we live in a cyberpunk distopia since Web 2.0 for years. Cyberpunk 2077 is just highlighting this reality trough tasteful carricature. There is a void in the way we conceptualize our relationships and our sense of selves eversince work became the centerpoint of our societal worth and this game just intensify this reality a bit for us to notice it. Heroism is a poisonous apple, looks apetizing from the exterior, it promise individuals that they will be recognized, that they will gain intrinsic worth. What isn't told is that by selling you that dream, you get striped of that intrinsic worth first. This is particularly true for young men who are targetted by that idea even more as they don't have the dubious benefice of potentially carrying children, they are the "expandable sex". All of this system is made to benefit the verry few at the top, everyone is a cog, even the "rebellious" runners who are just, in essence, unnamed fodders for those secret corpo wars. They are not the rebels here, they play the game. In a way they are the most active participant, all those eddies, they come from the same places in the end.

Tension was higher in DS1, before fast travel.

Woah bro! Jackie dies?! How about a spoiler alert for us playing this gem in 2046

Greats video. Sub deserved. Love the name. Congrats on 1k+💪🏿 can’t wait to see you at 40K

Have the same sentiments, earned a sub.

To be fair, Elden Ring’s first experience is something that cannot be replicated, it had its tension when visiting new areas, but oh boy DS3 is an S Tier experience even if you play again

It's so immersive, I've played it seven times. And I still feel the pull to play it again, even though I know all the plot points like the back of my hand. It's like you don't just play it, you live it.

It's dark, oppressive, eerie and creepy....until you experience PVP and invasion shenanigans after a hundred or so hours of finally getting good then the game just feels like home...except the poison swamps. Fuck the poison swamps

Demon souls was perhaps the best at tension aspect (cus one checkpoint per level)

Like comparing Star Wars and Star Trek - same thing but very different. If you like DS3 play it. If you like Elden Ring play it. Have fun in both instances.

Wait till bro finds out about Dark Souls 1

Ya know I was just playing ds3 aswell, it's just a vibe in ds3 like no other. Good video!

amazing video as always!

Face it Choom. No drama no life. Being Aldecado is way more fun against the backdrop of NC. Otherwise another night fighting with the fam around the campfire over scraps.

Ds3 was a gorgeous game

As a long time fan of DD1 I've put countless hours into the game, I still find time to rage. Plus one fine day I was super tired, just finished my second playthrough on hard and clicked new game after countless times of playing, yes countless times playing DD1 I click new game and you can inage my outcome when I realise my mistake. I lost my level 70 progress all the way back to level 1. Oh boy was I mad I cried 😂 you see you need to get to level 200 for a trophy because I thought why not do it all over again years later on my new account after getting the platinum on PS3 years ago. Not sure what level this one goes to, haven't put any research into this one yet. Doesn't really do it for me at the moment, but watching others play makes me want to eventually play it on a sale day 😂

I'd like to recommend Detroit becoming human for you. Cyberpunk2077 one of my fav as well.

ELDEN RING case is no different than the case of how Dragon Age Origins get the Dark Fantasy correctly of the Darkspawn threats that will destroy ferelden or possibly it's neighboring countries and ofc the fade and the demons. DAO used to have Broodmothers and Desire Demons. but they cut it on the later games pretty much felt like ELDEN RING just a high fantasy not a Dark Fantasy anymore them darkspawn aren't even scary anymore. we need more Dark Fantasy unforgiving Hellscape like Dark Souls or Dragon Age Origins were. something super scary or something hot but also monstrous like Quelaag. give us Monsters to kill.

I returned to the DSR, the Elden ring disappointed, there are no feelings that I need.

Cyberpunk definitely spoiled me. It's so glaring now, talking to wooden quest giving NPC's in other games

I feel like I have quite a lot of disagreements here and I feel like a thesis like this lends no credibility to Elden Ring due to the lack of research or other perspectives. Such as the argument with tension and saying that it’s something that defines DS3, but ignoring the many uses of it in Elden Ring like with the crows and dogs in Caelid, the revenant path in Elphael, the oppressive design of Stormveil and when you get locked in the room by Gostoc, the zombies in Raya Lucaria that catch you by surprise and take away one of your most important resources at that moment, or likewise with the zombies in Elphael, or the black dumpling albinaurics in Volcano Manor. After that is the discussion of atmosphere and darkness and again there’s almost no representation of what makes the world of Elden Ring stressful, like the foggy atmosphere of Aeonia, the dead giants, Ekzykes and her dead babies lining the southern edge of the swamp, or the dead dragons in Dragonbarrow. Perhaps also Farum Azula with the grim atmosphere relating to burial practices and dead beastmen. Or maybe that Aeonia leads you to this super mysterious magic town full of these like apparitions and behind that is a church and a big graveyard full of those that would’ve died there, or even the cave it leads to as well that uses darkness to its advantage as well. Or just that with Elden Ring generally being more colorful it can go for a messed up vibrant look that a place like Caelid or Volcano manor with all the blood or Elphael with all the orange decaying plants everywhere to enrich it in its own kind of atmosphere that can seem unsettling without relying on just darkness or nearly monotone color schemes. There’s other things that help the tension and vibe like massive creatures like runebears in Mistwood, the giant lobsters in Liurnia, the Trolls usually in the slightly established looking settlements, or deliberately strange areas and design decisions like Dominula with the freaky cult followers or finger creepers, or the crying wormfaces in Altus. There’s so many examples of ways that Elden Ring enriches its atmosphere that isn’t mentioned here, and I feel like it’s not intentional but due more to being willfully oblivious.

Top tier video and analysis, you explain your points beautifully, and I wholly agree with much of what you’ve said. Subbed.

Yes, I agree. Love ER but DS is something else.

I love depressing shit. I find a sublime experience in ruin.

Sure, the best looking babe fighting simulator with a dress up wardrobe larger than your gacha options "should've failed". Never in a million years would a game like this fail. You know it, I know it, we all know it.

When nothing we do matters the only thing that matters is what we do is gonna stick with me. Thanks for sharing bro

Well done

Holy shit. I never used fast travel for the reasons you've said

I think Dark Souls 3 did do atmoshere and map building better tbh, i think the smaller more detailed areas work a lot better for Souls games. It also feels a lot less of a chore to run through the game each time due to it being more smaller and confined, as much as i do like a lot of the things Elden Ring did i just didnt care for the legacy dungeons as much and having to run through the map each time especially after the DLC released

Been saying exactly this for some time now. This is not a game, we need new words for it. But more importantly, we need more of it, meaning more stories in this universes, and we need more of whatever this is, set in other universes. Other "games" like Cyberpunk.

Wonderful video. Every time I listen to these retrospectives, I tear up just thinking about how much this game affected me and how much it meant to me. The characters that enter your life in the game stuck with me in a way I didn't think possible. Just a masterpiece of storytelling.

Dark Souls 3 did everything better than Elden Ring

My fav FromSoft game

ds3>er

Best game I have ever played! Everybody should give it a chance.

Elden ring bosses: this is me and you will be fighting me today DSIII bosses: you may not have f***** around but you’re about to find out.

Damn, not sure what I am missing. I think it's a great game, but can't say it gripped me like the way you're describing it. I found the story a tad hard to follow and meandering, the NPCs of the city are soulless (especially didn't help that I started it after Red Dead Redemption 2, which is one of the most engaging worlds in gaming history) and the action felt stiff and cardboard-like. I never even finished it! I should at least wrap it up before I draw a conclusion, but it's weird how long it's taken me, since Cyberpunk is my favorite sci-fi genre.

Most people turned away from Cyberpunk due to the questionable launch, but despite all the bugs, the game itself has always had soul. The characters and their complexities, forms a connection that goes beyond a computer screen. And to me, Cyberpunk has become more than mere entertainment, becoming a transformative experience, going through a roller coaster of different emotions. It will always hold a special place in my heart. I think this video perfect explains why are some people so connected with the Cyberpunk world and setting, very well done!

Top 5 game ever made.

compared to ER, you could say this about all dark souls games, not just ds3. ds1 in particular had the most oppressive atmosphere imo. ds2 had a more vibrant feel, but was still very tense. still can’t forget the first time i went through frigid outskirts.
