It is a stupid question 😅
Yes. Saved ya an hour.
Don't stop people watching the video, my underpaid intern worked very hard on it 😭
This game was honestly my biggest disappointment. It’s by no means a terrible game (I obviously wouldn’t have platinumed it twice if it was) but it’s definitely the worst FromSoft game that I’ve played. The open world is pretty bland and generic, it doesn’t do much different than most others but still gets praise for being “unique” and “revolutionary”. On repeat playthroughs the open world just becomes a tedious slog compared to the other Soulsborne titles because of it.
I also found most of the soundtrack to be pretty forgettable, I understand that they were going for a less video gamey and more cinematic approach but it made it come off as very lacking. I feel as if it failed to capture most of the emotion and symbolism for the fights. It’s pretty reminiscent of Dark Souls 2 in that manner. As much as I love that game, a lot of the bosses themes weren’t super memorable. When it comes to the music it feels void of emotion and meaning for most of them. I absolutely love the Looking Glass Knight’s theme from DS2 since it really captures the feeling of the fight and the harp and violin in the back are meant to symbolize the rain that’s that’s falling from the storm you’re fighting in. Lady Maria’s theme is similar with the bell from the clock tower ring during the theme. It one part of the theme but symbolizes so many different things. If you pay attention, it slowly speeds up at parts to represents Maria’s fear that the hunter will find out the atrocities committed at the fishing hamlet. On the topic of her emotion, first phase of the song is graceful but has this fast paced violin that gives off a sense of fear and uneasiness that later turns into a sense of desperation as the whole vibe of the song changes when entering the second phase whilst staying true to the first one. Now back on the topic of the bell, the tolling also symbolizes death which is a big theme of the dlc which I do not want to spoil for you, but just keep it in mind during the dlc if you play it. The same bell even rings once you make it to the second phase of The Living Failures which is another theme which perfectly captures the frantic feeling of taking on this colossal threat as it tries and fails to ascend to become a celestial being. Even Gwyn’s theme from the original dark souls does a very good job at giving the player insight to his failure as a king and to his eroded mind from the cycle of flame in Dark Souls 1.
I also feel like the game has a very poor tutorial to it. You can only get torrent as your steed if you go to the site of grace infront of Stormveil gates. The game never explains this to the player so a new one could get stuck without their steed for hours. I’ve even had multiple times where Melina did not appear at that bonfire until Margit had been killed during ng+ which locks you out of leveling your character. To a new player that would be absolutely devastating to their first experience.
The bosses are also poorly balanced due to the open world nature of the games. Unlike other Soulsborne games, Elden Ring isn’t able to keep you and the enemies properly leveled with each other due to its open world nature. That means you’ll often find yourself very over or under leveled depending on how your brain takes on the challenge of exploration. I remember that during my first playthrough I completely destroyed unpatched (they had to fix his hithoxes near release) because I was super careful exploring and ended up under leveled. This beast of a warrior who was insanely strong lore wise died unceremoniously to my random tarnished which absolutely hurts emersion. By the time I found Malenia I had already defeated the Elden Beast since I wasn’t using guides which caused another incredibly hard fight to be incredibly easy as she was straight staggered to death after maybe 4 attempts. Bosses like Midir and Nameless King are bosses I fought extremely late game and still struggled with in Dark Souls 3 due to the devs understanding around exactly what level I’d be fighting them at.
I’m really happy that Elden Ring was a huge financial success for FromSoft as I love them as developers but at the same time this game is very overhyped. It came out at a time where the competition was so piss poor that every little good thing it did was amplified by 10 whilst the negatives were pushed under the rug. The influx of new players to the series added a lot of hostility towards older fans who tried voicing their opinion too. Just looking at the ER Reddit when the dlc came out shows how toxic it was at points. If you were saying the fights were too hard without summons (most aren’t with proper practice imp) you were “an elitist gatekeeper” and “idiots for playing the game wrong.” The whole summoner system has brought so much negativity to the community that it’s really disheartening as an old time fan. We’ve always had jokes such as “magic is for wimps” “dex is for pussies” and “not, another strength build” which actually bolstered the community since everyone would poke fun at each other no matter the build. The Elden Ring fanbase seemed to take it to the extreme and actually believe those jokes as community census and genuinely attack each other based off build (a lot more prevalent during the first year).
Overall it’s not a bad game but I feel like it just doesn’t live up to FromSofts prior record. My personal take was that they were too ambitious with the project which made them cut corners, especially on reusing bosses, best examples with Godefroy the Grafted, the dragons, the constant normal enemies being labeled as bosses, and most importantly the Erdree’s literally being the Asylum Demon from Dark Souls 1. No that’s not a joke, it is the exact same moveset and animals, it’s just a model swap with the difference being it can now summon faith magic to shoot at you (which is just a normal spell).
Was it really that good? No, it was BETTER.
You playing the DLC yet?
@@Guyinthetie No, I’m still into the base game and I wanted to replay the WHOLE game… I’m having a blast again though!
Yes, it was. No need to watch an hour video now.
Please watch I need food 😭
Nope, probably the most over hyped game ever. It’s not bad, just not worth all the attention. Poorly implemented open world, terribly boring boss fights, pinnacle of mediocre story telling masquerading as a complex and intricate story- it’s a mid game that got hype because of the dev and the time it came out. Played by a bunch of people that don’t know what a real challenge is, basking in dopamine hits because they’re not use to working for their reward.
I take it you're not a fan of any of the souls likes?
Bro got walked by Margit didn’t you. If you die more than 10 times to anyone but Malenia (3 time if you use spirits) then it’s literally a skill issue
