I PLAYED 50+ HOURS OF ELDEN RING - My Honest Impressions/Review In-Progress

- Опубликовано: 22 фев 2022
- You have been patient, Tarnished. The wait is finally over and Elden Ring is nothing short of a generational title. After a decade plus of developing its own genre, From Software have crafted the culmination of many lessons learned that amount to their magnum opus: Elden Ring.

Matty ive been following your channel for a long time and I’ll be honest, I didn’t know how you were gonna keep your channel alive with fallout losing so much steam as a series… however your content now is fire and Im happy to see your channel grow as you do
Thank you! Always gotta stay agile :)
@@MrMattyPlays I can't wait I hope that the map or the compass will help
Perfectly said. Great comment.
I'm a big fan of the series. Just gotta get my draculabyte tshirt for this one!
Man same lol I was like I hope my man Matty keeps things afloat, but I’m glad he’s adapted I love his new content too
" I haven't been hooked like this with a game since skyrim." That's all I needed to know. Shut up and take my money 💰
Lol for real
Right? Nothing has hit the same since NV and then modded Skyrim for me
Hell yeah. Skyrim is my favorite game, so if this is just as good, if not better, it might be a contender for first place in my book.
I've been waiting for a game like this for so long. I've played plenty of good, some even great games in the past years since Skyrim but nothing on the same level if not better.
Yeah that's high praise.
Glad to hear about Checkpoint Stakes, boss room runs are arguably the most frustrating thing about FromSoft games, especially in their more “controversial” titles like DS2 where it’s just enemy spam before a boss and you lose a lot of life.
Yeah, that’s mostly gone. There’s only one run back in the game that I thought was unnecessarily bad and unfortunately it’s main story content, but we’re talking about a needle in the haystack here.
after despawning ALL of the mobs in Iron Passage and defeating the Blue Smelter Demon, i can full heartedly agree with this.
I was always fine with the runbacks in DS1, DS3 and Bloodborne, with DS1 being imo the best at executing them (with exceptions like Artorias runback). But holy fuck Dark Souls 2 took it way too far with their long ass runbacks. Pretty much their idea of "long runback = hard game" along with others like highly damaging ganks everywhere really left a sour taste in my mouth to this day.
I'm a big fan of the series. Just gotta get my draculabyte tshirt for this one!
You can just run past enemies tho
Glad they got rid or weapon breakage. That's a mechanic I hate in any game because game developers tend to implement it in a way where you are always encountering it.
I never had a weapon break in dark souls except in ds2 so I don’t really think it would be a big deal.
@@chief5002 it’s only a problem in dark souls 2 and demon souls
@@willvermillion1025 In Dark Souls 2 and Demon's souls, it's an intrusive gameplay mechanic. In the other games, it's far less intrusive, to the point where it might as well not exist. So getting rid of it completely was the right call.
@@deadpelicanguy I agree 100%.
I liked keeping up with your equipment and possibly having to be adaptable with a new weapon. Helped open up the combat imo.
I’m so fucking stoked for this game, I can’t wait til Friday after work to play for like 24 hours straight lmaoooo
💀💀 damn, hope you got drinks and snacks
I think the shortest session I put into this game was about 7 hours. Nuts.
It comes out the 24th
It launches Thursday for a lot of people
@@chris_p_bacon886 not in europe. Sad times...
Time flies matty, I remember when you made a video thanking everyone for 30k subs,can’t wait to see how your channel continues to evolve, keep up the good work!!
Great review. Touched on a lot of aspects that I havent heard in other reviews. Really looking forward to playing this game!
Dude one of the most helpful things about this review is the performance section. I was totally going to get it on PC but with the info you provided, I’m getting it on PS5 now. Really appreciate that as many reviews omit that info. Thank you!
Why lol theres gonna be a day one patch
ps5 has issues too lol
Day one patch will hopefully help. I am getting on ps5 and pc.
Honestly, I ended up getting on PC Because it releases 6 hours earlier lol
@@Christianguitar206 fuck yeah lol
When Matty is this positive, you know it's the real deal. 😌
This will be my first from soft game. Friends played all the other ones. Actually super happy to see this is more dynamic in some areas that put me off from the games in the previous years.
Man I’m loving this channel…so glad I found it!
I'm really excited that you uploaded this at the time I am procrastinating
I hope I can speak for most of your audience when I say we love longer length content from you. Been watching since the Fallout 3 wishlist days.
The sense of discovery and immersion is incredible. I got the same feeling while playing Outer Wilds (not to be confused with Outer worlds) - if you haven’t played it, it’s a must, and very relatable to Zelda Majora’s mask.
I like the Outer wilds is a great game no one plays
Matty I have been watching your videos for a while now and I can not think of many youtubers that deserve over a million subs, but you are definitely one of them. I have been so hyped for this game and im even more hyped now. Love the vids!! Keep it up cant wait for the KOTOR remake content!
Really happy you talked about the sound design. Also highly respect you were honest about this video being a an impressions instead of a “review”. Really good work man!
Matty it's interesting hearing your take on combat difficulty. Gene Park has a nice article that addresses directly why this game in his experience was as difficult or easier depending on how you approach it.
If you focus more on exploration and improving your character, before taking on a dungeon boss, then you'll be able to have an easier time of it. That's the kind of flexibility and adaptation I can get behind. I know you mentioned the over-world was a bit like this and as a non-Souls player this would make Elden Ring appealing to me.
Same thing skill up mentioned
That's called grinding it's a thing in literally every RPG lmao
@@imapotatoful that’s very true. But most games torture you with boring grinds. From what I’m hearing, the grind here is far from boring. I actually love grinding, when it’s fun.
@@imapotatoful lol man is acting like leveling up before a boss fight is something new haha
Obviously I haven’t played yet… but how is this not the same as previous souls titles?
The only change it sounds is that your doing “new” content to grind and farm for certain materials instead of replaying the level. This really doesn’t sound like a huge change
Matty, mad respects for your channel. You are one of the few folks that actually talk about games and not about shilling for a box. As for Elden Ring, I was on the ledge on PC purchase, but based on your review and some others it appears that Console may be the better route. I hope the Framerate on console can maintain the 60FPS, especially on boss fights.
On boss fights yes. But 60fps is rough. Ill play the ps4 version on ps5. Loocked 60.
There seems to be drops down to 50fps ish on PS5 and 45fps at times on XSX. Both consoles run 1512p-1800p. The PC port runs smooth at a locked 60fps 1440p native on the 2080ti/3070/6700xt, but has some frame drops at native 2160p.
@@JustS0meK1dd do you have a site or link? was this analysis done on Digital Foundry?
There are performance sections in a lot of the reviews that came out today, but Digital Foundry are holding off on their review until the day 1 patch (1.2) has been applied and tested. The numbers I gave above are fairly accurate to the version that reviewers played, but it could completely change today/tomorrow if the patch notes are to be believed.
@@JustS0meK1dd Awesome, thanks. OK, for me I will wait for the day one patch review. Then maybe that is enough to determine console vs PC.
So far this is the best review regarding Elden Ring. Keep up the good work Mat. Your narrative skills are evolving constantly on your videos.
Great video! You for sure made me want to play this game when you said it got your hooks into you as much as Skyrim did at first! Can’t wait! Keep up the good work!
I’ve been pretty bored lately without a game to play, and I’ve never played a From Software game before but have always wanted to try a dark souls game. After hearing all the positivity for Elden Ring, I bought it and have been having so much fun. It’s been difficult for sure 😂 but it feels so rewarding and the game is downright beautiful, I can’t wait to play more
well this game just broke metacritic lmao. 98 for PS5, 94 for Series X, 96 for PC. Just insane... Still not my cup of tea but its good to see a finished game at launch and positive news in the games industry for a change.
Now tell m there isn't any biease when PS5 has a higher score than the SX and PC 😂
Goty Easy bro.
@@Spartan_83 It might run better on PS5 than Series X Matty did say there was performance issues and the PC is lower also .
@@danilod.carvalho7525 I’m 100% confident it’s gonna be impossible with Starfield coming out this year. I don’t think Starfield will score higher on Metacritic but I do believe it will generally be a much much better game with a lot more to do.
@@Christiano97150 in my opinion ZeldaBOTW2 have more chances than Starfield to win, sorry for bad english.
I have never seen any of your vids but after the algorithm as of late, you're here. Thank god. Never really been a fan of From Software games due to playability and difficulty but due to your review and in depth analysis, I watched the whole thing. You've gained a sub and an interested watcher. Well done!
Just started following you and gotta say I'm really glad to find a channel that is all about xbox. Love to see it.
Thank you for saying right off that it sucks on PC before going into it more later, I was able to temper my excitement b/c I don't own a next gen console and play PC only. I will wait to buy until they fix the port. It sounds awesome, and I look forward to getting it once the PC edition is fixed and thanks to your review I'll both know (1) to keep an eye out for news on that front, and (2) That the game is definitely worth the effort to keep an eye out for news on that front. Thanks Matty!
There is suppose to be a day 1 patch fixing it
There is a day one patch coming. Now I would look at what outlets like digital foundry says after the patch, but I don't think they are going to leave the game running badly for PC.
I will keep an eye out, thanks ya'll!
@@GOWLIKEABOSS no problem. just to clarify. Digital Foundry, who does all the technical reviews for games was actually ask, under NDA to wait until the day 1 patch.
They will fix it just like they fixed DS3
From Software is seriously one of those developers that i dont feel worried about them making a bad game, every game i played from them is seriously beautiful
Great video I’ve been hyped for this although I don’t play a lot of souls like games. Hopefully sifu has gotten me alttile bit prepared . Can’t wait to make a dope mage/rapier build with a bunch of spells and a dope one handed melee. Can’t wait to dive in it after work Friday! Getting a physical copy to start my collections
I've been very hype for this game, and I've watched like a dozen reviews (because I can't play the game itself, myself, yet) and you know: yours is the most grounded, most readable review I've seen. New subscriber here. Can't wait to see you and everyone else in the Lands Between, tarnished.
Yea it that the they there
My favorite and most trusted RUclips reviewer. Straight to the point without any silly RUclipsr personality gimmicks, or weird inflections in his voice.
I always find Matty's content a little lacking. I usually walk away unfulfilled. And it's like he's always shouting.
I like him a lot, but...
I don't know. Maybe it's me. I just think of a squirrel digging a whole bunch of acorns when I watch his videos. Like, what was the point?
@@uglystupidloseralways shouting? What?...
I loved Fallout 3 but only enjoyed Skyrim. I am looking forward to exploring the world of Elden Ring and discovering the lore myself.
Matty, I can't stress enough how much this review helped me in my indecisiveness. It's not necessarily the difficulty in Souls games that turns me away, it's the save system, and you did what no other review or video I watched did by describing how this game handles "checkpoints" and saves. So incredibly helpful and I think I very well may pick this game up because of this review. Thank you!
Darksouls save every time u pick something up or rest at a fire. Typically even if computer loses power ur not losing much.
Great video, dude. Again, your enthusiasm on through the video is awesome. That's perhaps my favorite aspect of your channel. The genuine enjoyment you get as a gamer. Something that is sorely missing from games. Also, dug the way you narrate parts of the video. You should be a narrator on a Fallout or Elder Scroll/Witcher games. I enjoyed the appearance of Bloodborne. That gothic horror style is really cool. If I ever want to torture myself, I'll pick this up. Great video dude. Keep being you, keep up with the content. It's truly awesome.
Can’t wait for this, still can’t make my mind up about getting it for my ps5 or series x, it’s hard to choose lmao.
It seems poorly optimised on Series X
If you care about consistent FPS, PS5.
Thank you for talking some about the story. I still wonder “What is an Elden Lord? And why do I wanna become one? I think the gameplay looks fantastic, but I wish there was more info on the story.
Wanna hear my guess?
Elden lord get all the money, all the bitches and all the clout. And that's why you want to be one!!
There has been but that's something you have to experience yourself.
yea im wondering the same thing. i dont really like 'hard' fighting games, but if the story is great then im all in. havent really seen or heard much to intrigue me on that front
@@user-ko3fp8wp3t hardcore
I think the slow burn Rubik cube story is part of the appeal of these games. A bit of an acquired taste.
Matty I love u I'd admit your stuff only really pops up in my feed when a game I'm interested in comes out, but you're always so... enthusiastic, about these games, you sound like I do when I spill out everything I love about something infront of my friends.
Also, your reviews are good from the professional perspective too, but I am here mostly coz it's just nice to hear u talk about this stuff :D
Been here ever since the pre-release frenzy of Fallout 4 way back.
This is a well Articulate review Mr Matty Plays! Awesome job!
This is my first from software game. I almost turned it off and never turned it on again the first day 😂 now I’m over 24 hours played and I’m loving the game!
How did you go about overcoming the difficulty? I'm guessing that was the hard part about picking it back up
@@DweezlePeePants you get your horse after finding three sites of grace which is pretty easy. Once I unlocked the horse I just went around the opening area fighting soldiers and other enemies and once I had enough to level up, I’d do it. I have a melee build so I started investing in health and strength to get me going. Things get easier after leveling up a bit and taking time to learn certain tough enemy’s patterns.
Interesting to hear about the PC issues. I've seen streamers playing on 1.01 and that's apparently going to be the day 1 patch so, hm. Wonder if it *will* fix the issue like they claim. (PC Gamer stated bandai have said that the day 1 patch will fix intermittent stuttering/memory leaking)
Skillup’s review mentioned that he said some issues on pc, he changed his settings slightly and it was fine. Suggest giving that a watch
There are some reviewers who have mentioned that a 1.02 patch just went live yesterday and it apparently improved performance. I'm gonna assume that's the day 1 patch.
Yeah i think im going to wait for the digital foundry analysis to determine if im picking it up on ps5 or pc
@@RoaringTide some have suspected the easy anti cheat is the cause.
Well what pc specs were they running? That's also a question to ask. The minimum is a 1060
Was excited for this review from you Matty and it did not disappoint. Bring on the elden ring hype!
Great review as always Matty, looking forward to checking this game out
All i needed to hear was "since Skyrim" Ok take my lil money
How is it so far? Is it living up to the since skyrim hype Matty put into our heads?
@@VanHallen52 this is my first soulsborne game. I haven't gotten this kind of open world feeling since skyrim. You will get clapped though make no mistake about it. It elevates your perception of a 'hard' game, all while giving you so much to love about it.
Lets. Fucking. GOOOOOO
Hype train woot woot
Thanks Mr.Matty Great REVIEW IM SO EXCITED! Can’t wait to join you in the Eldin Ring universe bro LONG LIVE THE TARNISHED!!
Great video - enjoyed hearing your take on the open world experience.
It's the story still the same old "Everythings awful, it's all so bad. Suffer and despair"?
As a PC only player, this is incredibly disappointing. I will be holding off until I hear performance improves. Thanks for the honest take Matty.
It’s a beautiful thing when a gaming company can capture its roots, while also putting everything on the line to change their game style and become more modern. I cannot wait for this game!
Random act of appreciation... You're a legit reviewer. Solid words, Fine job🤜🤛
I've never played a souls like game before, hearing about the difficulty has always put me off, as I know I'll get frustrated and give up, but I'm so tempted to at least give it a try
I said the same about Sekiro and I regretted it. That game was too hard to enjoy.
@@rvnhty that hard hey?
Play bloodborne
@@ObamaBluWaffles- haha I'm a xbox person
@@leighkenyon3090 You need to think quickly and have great reflexes. No matter how hard I try, I don’t have these skills. Another game I can’t beat is Metroid Dread. I’m stuck on the final boss.
Thank you so much for being honest about the difficulty! Everyone else is saying it's not as hard as the others, but now I know for sure that this game is not for me. No matter how much I love RPGs and beautiful open world and great stories, I just can't do the beating my head against the wall on a boss thing.
Summon help
@@zacheryware9215 that's great advice for people who like doing multiplayer. I'm not really a fan of multiplayer, but you're right, seems like a really good option for those enjoy it!
@@julilla1 got ya, but the multiplayer is the easy mode though. If you get stuck summon someone to help and then move on. It’s not multiplayer for the whole game: you can also farm and lv upon this game to prep for bosses as opposed to previous titles
@@zacheryware9215 bless you for wanting me to play this game. I'll wait a bit and see if that seems like a strategy I can deal with. 😄
The spirit summons make the game much easier too
I love when Matty reviews games! I love the entire format.
I been subbed to you since your early fallout 4 vids; glad to see you prosper outside of one game series.
all the franchise needs now (according to my wishes) is the ability to recruit npcs and build a small oasis of civilization that extracts resources, crafts equipment and can be brought along
These games are famous for the almost action only approach focus, it's not a Role playing game in the traditional sense.
You can summon NPCs or players turning bosses into raids, and in Elden Ring's case, summon spirits that you can find in the world or that come from enemies you killed.
But they're just options for reducing the difficulty.
That defeats the whole mood and philosophy of their games. All their games are supposed to be desolate, hopeless, in a way post apocalyptic
@@andrewbowen2837 fair. There seems to already be a hub of npc's in this game tho; I'm just whishing it added more to the table
Hmm I haven’t played a FromSoftware game yet, but this looks the most intriguing to me. That being said, since I typically derive my investment in a game from engaging characters and overarching plot, would this not be a title to get into?
This is a must if that's what you enjoy. Just be prepared for multiple playthroughs and hunting the story down bit by bit
@@smallbob1173 but nobody is talking about the characters or story at all though which you can do w/o spoiling I imagine
Lore Hunter did some lore talk. But most of the time it's big spoiler to talk about story aspects
@@forceaidan8 no way. none of the reviews are even permitted to talk about anything beyond the first 2 areas, no one can talk about story and characters wether they want to or not.
@@smallbob1173 I’m just saying: At the end of the day, when I start up the game, and I have the whole world to explore, if I do not intrinsically care about exploration, what is actually *driving me* to do *anything*
Awesome video bro. Thanks for telling us about the cool game mechanics. Sounds epic bro!
woah you are almost at the half a mil mark matty!
Super excited for this game, but I'm going to wait until modders add ultra wide support for it like they did Sekiro. FromSoft needs to step up their PC game, the stuttering Matty described on a 3080 is bonkers. We need smooth PC ports at launch with the option for uncapped frames and ultra wide so the world can look as fantastic as it can. Do any of the devs have a nice gaming rig they want to play these games on? Lmao
There is a day one patch that is directly focusing on the stuttering so there is that
@@sneezytg6486 that is good to hear. Like I said I'm fucking stoked to play this lmao I just find it so weird that ultra wide/uncapped frames isn't standard on PC ports in 2022
@@decegrease yea its weird you would think in 2022 they would optimize games better
uncapped will be hard considering fromsoft tie their framerates to the games physics. i remember uncapping ds1 and my dodge distance and eye frames were freakin hilariously bad. ull get UW mods in the 1st week guaranteed though, but uncapped? dont count on it for a good long while. still hasnt been done with the other older fromsoft games.
from soft have always been console devs primarily
It looks so beautiful too bad my son never sits down and I gotta feed bath and pay attention to him 🤷🏾 if it wasnt for those things I would buy this game on Friday it looks amazing and I've never played through a souls game before except for the recent remake and I did not complete it
You sound like a great father! Lmao
wtf
Im never having kids man. Best wishes to your family and to you sir.
I've beaten every souls game and I'm having a very hard time...
Mr Matty Thanks to this Video I'm TOTALLY Picking Up This Game on Release!! 🤓
I found his channel back when I was obsessed with fallout 3 and he was the only one talking about fallout 4 I remember watching him post updates when the game was coming out. Even though it's not all fallout anymore this guy is a great content creator and game reviewer very entertaining. You and Angry Joe are my 2 favorite game channels I check you guys before I ever check something like ign
i was sure this game was gonna be a let down since we got so many good games this month. but wow.. i was wrong
Y when has From software not delivered
My guy this is FromSoft we talkin about here
What kind of logic is that?
Started to watch IGNs review because it was at the top of my queue, but then I saw this video as the top recommended on their video, and immediately switched over! Love your videos, man.
Nice to hear someone else has played Trails in the Sky - still my favourite JRPG even after playing through many Final Fantasy and Tales titles.
Oh and the Elden Ring review was nice too.
I have actually never tried a souls game, none of them really appealed me but then I saw this one and WOW it blew me away. I will definitely be buying it later since I still need to finish dying light 2.
A shame
Cuz this game is garbage compared to what came before.

Wow, really cool that you're playing the Trails in the Sky series! Huge fan of that JRPG series and it's definitely really niche and I was surprised to hear you mention it. It definitely can be tricky to play when starting out.
Got to know you because of your DD podcast and know I find myself coming here to listen to your thoughts on some things.
Regarding difficulty some people have to get that this type of game is for a certain type of audience. The Souls game when it first came out was for a niche audience. If you look at allot of games from From Software like Otogi they generally make difficult games.
Thats fine still gonna pirate it....Not gonna give them dime they have been making same game for over a decade now
@@fireballs7346 so i stil want to play it but not buy it? And ur reason is they make the same? Ur just a thief lol.
@@SilentSpringz also stop liking your own comment jeez how desperate r u....wait dont answer that question
My first and only FromSoftware is Sekiro. I was utterly disappointed when I had to fight enemies I’ve already defeated to face the ones I haven’t. Reminded me of cheap deaths from the NES days. I hope people enjoy this but…definitely not for me.
One of the coolest things was when you got teleported to that same area at 8:00 minutes in the vid, that was a serious elevation change in the map and was actually the bottom part of the erdtree. That was why it had all of the fungus. The way this world is tied together is trippy bro
Awesome job on the review. Elden Ring looks great. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the game.
Not personally my cup of tea I am not a fan of dark souls styled games but good review nonetheless
Its not just a Souls game , A once in a generation game
@@COHOFSohamSengupta if you ain't a fan you ain't a fan people ain't gonna say yeah il play it even though I don't like it just because it's a once in a generation game.

@@kevinlist3330 Yeah I appreciate the Art
.....uhg. those PC problems. I'm going to reserve my judgement until the day one patch but if it is still that bad after I am refunding the game. I am getting tired of devs screwing over either console or pc players. Even Fromsoft is not getting a pass from me on this.
That was a heck of a review. Thank you. 👍
The excitement in your voice says a lot about the game! Cant freaking wait!
Never enjoyed a Dark Souls game. I am hoping to take the dip but I don't want DS4. It looks like DS too thats my concern.
Damn same PC Specs as mine a 3080 and it's rough that sucks. Maybe From Software needs to stop making Dark Souls games and optimize their games on PC.
I think they are getting better at porting game to pc, but looks like its a small step back this time. Say what you will about Activision (and trust me there is a list long enough to wrap around the Earth several time) but Sekiro have the best PC port out of any of Fromsoft game, I have pretty much a perfect technical experiences with that game. It a shame to see that in terms pc port Elden Ring is only slightly better then Dark Soul 2. But then again Bandai isn't know for being good at porting thing to pc. Just look at Ace Combat 7, a flight game release in 2019 but don't support 21:9 aspect ratio.
This game makes me nervous for Starfield. I’ve been looking for an awesome RPG for a while now, and I’m concerned with what Bethesda has in the oven. I hope those people at Microsoft got a good glimpse of what is to come from Bethesda, and that the game will blow me away like I haven’t experienced in a long time
Shit u r delusional Bethesda hasn't been amazing for years 110% Starfield will be filled with microtranscations
Tons of other great games come from non Bethesda studios man
@@mrwhocares3931
Fallout 4 was great and that was their worse game. Skyrim is a masterpiece. Bethesda will be fine.
What does this have to do with Bethesda at all?
Fantastic game review Matt! Thanks!
This is my guy. I had to follow you n my artist page just now cause I’ve been on here mostly as of late. I will check this out later on this evening
In 2011, when I got Skyrim AND Dark souls.....I can easily tell you : Bethesda can`t hold a candle to From software!
I put 900 hours in Oblivion and skyrim is nothin new.....
So many mtx in other games like Valhalla, and from software gives you so many weapons & armors INCLUDED in game.
I love the idea they tell you the lore not you have to go read this or that. It is so annoying to stop and read in a video game. If I wanted to do a bunch of reading I will grab a real book and read it. A note here and there is fine but really I am not interested in a bunch of reading.
by the sounds of it there is going to be a day 1 patch that will hopefully fix the stuttering, I’ve preordered on PC and i’m still hyped, hoping it doesn’t hinder the experience too much
Great review man, I think it's the best I've seen. Where I live it's like 80 USD on steam which is annoying as hell, think I'll wait for now.
Honestly looks ok. Not worth full price
Ah not you type of thing eh Ghost?

Looks like we have something really special here can't wait to play it.
Just pre loaded Elden Ring on my pc! So excited for tomorrow! Excellent content.
I've gone through 82 hours now and let me just say...you cant regret buying this game at all!!! Its ridiculously made with so much passion and care!
pS. Skyrim is BS!
Skyrim is a masterpiece and the reason this game exists.
@@makokenji4350 this game exists because of itself, demon souls came out before Skyrim and has reached a bigger standard in quality and a game as a whole. Skyrim is nothing but a broken released product with terrible animation's, terribly bland and awful combat and all its life got fixed through modders and instead of moving on and creating something bigger and better they have re released the bland product for years.
@@liquidsnake.7008
Yeah OK. You are in the extreme minority.
@@makokenji4350 bottom line is, you ask from software if Skyrim!! Is the reason they made elden ring, you'll be laughed at.
@@liquidsnake.7008
No I wouldn't. Skyrim revolutionized the open world RPG. Games like Witcher 3 and BOTW exist because of Skyrim. You are delusional if you think Skyrim did not inspire Elden Ring.
i dont actually think this game is that good, i put 48 hr into it and i dont recommend it tbh, in fact skyrim is still better imo. It wants to be a fighting game but it doesn't go far enough to make the combat more fluid dynamic etc, all animations are kinda frame locking and slow, not to mention delayed response from input to action, also they tried the rpg part but didn't go far enough into the rpg stuff, for example you can chose each individual stat but each point counts as a level so the newbie stats now also cost the same as the high stats, like why :/. No grab counters, no grabs, not fluid motion with combos or dash plus hit move plus hit, they need to play dead or alive and see whats up and then make an open world challenging game with that combat more or less, or soul caliber combat. The camera is still janky and performance is weird on pc. "map bar" ....lol you must mean compass...
same
That was just a brilliant review of this game..am not very good at really hard game but i loved denton's Inferno and that was hard..am definitely getting this game .
Amazing video as always! Btw, I'm now getting Purdue ads on your videos. Hilarious.
Looks boooooring for me a copy and paste job done badly
Clunky, repetitive, lore without story. Just as I expected.
@Isaiah Wood67 Would you say they've described past Soulslike games? If not, then your opinion is incorrect.
I'm also gonna add "ugly" to the list, because jeez. PS3 graphics at best.
I like the idea that discovery is rewarding and you are seeing and exploring without UI.
Very informative review!
Elder Rings is jus another copy paste soul game over & over again with the same old boring combat mechanics with pretty graphics, ill wait until another sekiro come out
Whats wrong with that? People like it weeb deal whit it. Don’t change for the sake of it if it works.
looks pretty dull to be quite honest. hard pass for me.
Your mom looks dull
@@kevinlist3330 since when people get so sensitive about videogames?
@@kevinlist3330 I don't see any hate. Just an opinion.
@@kevinlist3330 chill no one is hating, it's just an internet opinion, no need to take it so seriously
@@kevinlist3330 you need to grow up man, it's just a game.
I've been waiting for this very video from you for too long
I like that it tells you where to go in the most minimal way possible with that “lost grace”.
Man this was a great review! I have the money, the next gen consoles and the time. Am I up to the challenge though? Well that's the question. I don't know but I'm going to try anyways after this great review.
trust me, i thought the same thing while playing ds1 back in 2011, and now fromsoft are my fav game developer of all time. get in there and do what u have to. summon allies, grind and get better and more flexible builds, explore abit if ure stuck banging ur head on a brick wall of a boss. come back to him after 5 hours of exploration. these games are lauded for there game design for these very reasons. the amount of ways to tweak the difficulty is endless. dont be afraid to look anything up too.
@@flamingmanure thank you. I will take your advice. Just downloaded it last night
