Mad respect to Kai for starting stream on a game he has never played, let alone a genre that he has never played that is very difficult to get into. Truly the goat
@@MartiniM4nand most ppl used RUclips to figure things out. Only previous souls games players are able to jump into elden ring and figure things out without any help.
Beating a souls game is the best feeling in gaming, hands down. The amount of satisfaction you get from beating any one of those games is more than any other game.
Knew he would beat it when i saw him get mad at chat for telling him to skip tree sentinel after dying the 100th time to it. Dedication is what makes a good soulsborne player and right at that moment i saw that dedication in him.
This man went from struggling for 6 hours at the first optional boss to beating the game IN ONE SETTING. No summons, No magic, No crazy build. Love him or hate him you gotta respect him for that dedication ✊ Unbelievable stream, I was screaming with him
@@davidmccain4126 Because it trivialises the gameplay entirely. Let's say he went for a magic build and equipped the Moonveil, he'd have the advantages of range once he learns how to effectively use the weapon. He would most likely just spam the vertical and horizontal beam attacks, it would be hella broken for sure.
@@Abyss.Walker let's say he buffed for 5 minutes, went full strength and did a heavy attack with royal resolve and one shotted every boss...is using the moonveil really that op because it has some range and a pure strength build like the one i described that can literally one shot bosses not? even a fully stacked magic build with 2 staff of loss and night comet requires u to cast a couple times and run and dodge a bit instead of just hitting one heavy attack. i swear people are talkin out of their bums when they talk about magic being op and strength ugngabumnga being how everyone should play the game. magic doesn't trivialize the game, neither do most summons, the only thing that actually does that is a mimic tear build.
@@metalface_villain I'll admit, a Moonveil build looks 'balanced' and tolerable in comparison to a strength build using a double guts great sword with flame grummy strength, golden vowel and royal revolve. However a magic build can still be absurdly broken. Let's say hypothetically Kai had went for a Moonveil katana build, if he equips the ashes of war bloodhound step he can just effortlessly dodge the bosses without even having to roll and then attack from a ranged position. A Moonveil + Mage build can become ridiculous, you can practically melt any boss with comet azur and it requires a little bit of precision, that's it. Magic builds would have trivialised the game for Kai if he farmed with the Moonveil katana build as chat requested him to use multiple times but he chose to fight with complexity for the sake of being fair hence why he’s one of the few creators I can genuinely respect playing the game.
Kai showed us that it doesn't matter if you suck at these games as long as you persevere if you keep learning, until you win that is all that matters. Good job you did it.
Yeah I can’t think of a better example lol. 95% of people playing their first FromSoftware game would have quit long ago. I mean I seen people quit with games like Bloodborne and Darks Souls
that's literally the whole point of fromsoft games, both as far as gameplay and its meta narrative, the whole game is about eating shit time after time again but still getting up and keep trying.

It took him longer than me to beat the game, even if you count my damn near 2 100% playthoughs. He has a lot of mental fortitude to do what he did probably more than I would have but damn any real gamer would do that shit way quicker than him especially with that build.
