You've given me the courage to give it a try. It's always looked great but I was concerned I'd be trash and just end up frustrated woth constantly running back to the same place.
I cant keep stressing this enough, you need to play destiny 2. You need to raid and do the dungeons and do some grandmaster strikes. Peak game that will actually challenge you on many levels. Not a rinse and repeat of the same thing like every other game.
I think as a gamer - our "best game ever played" is always evolving. Now as a 50 year old gamer- I think back to my days as a kid, where I'd go down to my neighborhood bowling alley and sink a small fortune in quarters into a game called GAUNTLET... It was the ORIGINAL dungeon crawler...it was very innovative for it's time. The first multi-player, top down scroller in which you could play different character classes. It was the best game i ever played...at the time.
When I go back to greatest games I ever played I think about a game called Tunnels of Doom. I played it on a Texas Instruments computer before we had a commodore 64. It had a big influence with me when it comes to fantasy RPG's. From there Pools of Radiance on my commodore 64 came next. As far as Arcade games to Gauntlet is on my list. Popeye and dig dug were also personal favorites of mine.
@@Fairburne69Tunnels of Doom!!!! I used to setup my party of 4 on my TI-99 and delve into the dungeons 🤣 I can still hear the music in my head... Duh duh duh duh
@@Fairburne69when people complain about load times I tell them that I used to have to wait 10 minutes for the dungeons to load - the TI-99 I had used the cassette tape loading. It would be 10 minutes every time I had to load the next floors of the dungeon 🤣
I started gaming in 1999... Over the years you lose, unfortunately, that joy of discovering a video game. Basically my most memorable gaming experiences were early 2000s with WoW being the last game that really left that impression. Then Elden Ring came out, and I got that feeling back. It's a one of a kind game
i been gaming since the nintendo entertainment system came out. I've played more games than i can remember, but there is maybe 15-20 that give me that wonder feeling. ER wasn't opne of them for me, but it is interesting how certain games just hit that magic spot and become that amazing experience for you. Shows how hard it is to make a great game, as its hard to put into words wht really makes an amazing game for everyone.
@@ronussI would maybe try the dark souls games first, it guides you a bit more and once you get to Elden ring it’s a much simpler concept to grasp and run free with
@@JebadiahChrist ive played all teh souls games, i enjoy them and i enjoyed the dark souls stories. i just couldn't get into ER. it was to easy, it has little challenge. the story didn't grab me. that is all
Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 both had that impact for me. BG3 even more so because its more my play style but both are great and had a huge impact when I first started to play them.
@@ronuss I think my reaction time, possibly due to my age made Elden Ring too hard for me. Even when I knew what to do I was often to slow to react. I ended up getting to frustrated and quitting before finishing. For me BG3 hit the sweet spot of great story and character development. And the game play didn't require me to have quick reflexes but knowledge and tactical thinking which I am good at. I would reload saved games after beating certain encounters just to see if I could defeat it with different tactics then the first time. After a few hundred hours I finally stopped playing.
The original Final Fantasy 7 is the best game I have ever played. As a kid, staying up way past my bedtime, on the edge of my seat raging at Aerith’s murder, being horrified at Shinra’s greed and being shocked at Cloud’s story and mesmerized by Sephiroth.
the thing that really clicked with me with e.r. is that it's a game that you actually feel like you're playing. so many other games feel like you're on rails and no matter what you do you're guaranteed to win. but elden ring really forces you to engage with it and learn it before you can beat it. and that if you learn how to play it, you can beat it without optimized builds or gear. you can beat it naked with a club as a level 1, and i know that's true about the majority if not all of fromsoft's souls games, but the added layers of open world and freedom really just blows the lid off of everything else that's come before
not if you played every souls games before it dont. i finished ER in like 48 hours on my first run, i didn't go everywhere because i couldn't figure out how to get there, it made no difference i beat the game. The game does a good job at feeling like going everywhere matters, it doesn't really. but its nice that it makes you feel like everywhere matters iguess.
@@ronuss I'm sorry but you're probably one of few people who share this bad sentiment/bad take. I took my time with Elden Ring and explored the world, my first clear was roughly 82 hours. With how big the world in Elden Ring is, it's not like previous souls games where the locations are far more linear and connected in a multitude of ways. There really is worth in going everywhere and exploring everything, even in the small form of souls. I guarantee there's a lot of things you didn't do, a lot of quests that you missed, a lot of strong items and fun bosses you didn't fight..... the thing is that you don't HAVE to go everywhere to finish the game, but it rewards you for it quite heavily for doing so. Legitimately two of the coolest fights in the game (Fortissax and Placidusax) are very easily missed if you just stick to the main story. Another really cool fight is Astel Naturalborn of the Void. Elden Ring will be remembered for a very long time and unless they somehow messed up really bad, will likely win GOTY for the second time in a row.
@@mad_lipz5731 you may be right, but the game didn't grab me. i had no interest in the story at all for the first time in a souls game. so i had no interest to get every item for flavor txt. i never said it was a bad game either, so my take is just my opinion. the game didn't grab me. playing again would be forcing it and thats not fun with anything.
@@peacefindersimply5001 That's not why I replied. The person stated that the game does a good job of making you feel like exploring matters but that it doesn't really, when it quite literally does. The same can be said about other Dark souls games which is what said person is comparing/contrasting to, implying that those games do a better job of that when they really aren't that different outside of feeling more confined versus being open world. I'm not arguing whether or not someone likes it, or whether they think it's a bad game or not. I'm pointing out the logical fallacy.
im 37 years old, i kinda had a random reunion with some of my highschool friends cause we all happened to be around at same time. after dinner at the house of this guys parents we found the XBOX we used to spend evening play with Halo 1 still inside it.........oh boy we played trough entire campain on Legendary difficulty, and i swar it wasnt much about nostalgia, the game felt as good as the first day it came out.
I honestly don’t understand why I still feel so happy (and catch my face literally smiling) when people still finally get around to play Elden Ring and hear them fell in love with it
Really? Baldur's Gate 3 just knocked on your door, that's a game in a generation I'd say, so many ways to play it as well, and the mods that are coming out. LOL. I hate to say it but ER doesn't have a deep story. What it does have is the whole Shonen Anime style of 0 to Hero. "Get powerful, Find "Maidens and Golden twigs" & kill baddies. Also great gameplay loop, which is mostly from boss combats, is S tier. Think MegaMan and Megaman X... Story is .. meh.
@@YoreHistory Maze Craze was literally my favorite game until I got a Gameboy with Tetris. We are ancient gamers, but in the lore the Ancients are the best so I think of that.
@@Shaunessy LOL well said :) There was actually a game I played (RPG) called Legacy of the Ancients...little did I know it would as you pointed...soon be describing us :)
I don’t get when people say Sekiro has no replay ability, it’s my favorite game period to replay, new weapons don’t change my excitement for shit, it’s all about the satisfaction of the mechanics, fighting the bosses in Sekiro is literally the highest of highs I’ve ever experienced in any video game ever.
@ronthorn3 yeah that's why I'd like to see a sequel on a grander scale so I could have that much more to do before beating it, more bosses and enemy types and side stuff
I really don't think an open world sandbox would work for it. What made it different from their other games was the high polish they could put in due to it having limited choice. For example it easily has the best combat they've made but that's because it's based around 1 weapon.
For me, world of warcraft was the best game because it consumed me from launch all the way to wrath. Then I finally started to slow down and take a break. but that game held me entertained for an easy 7 to 10 years. No other game has been able to do that to me. It's a great world to explore a lot of good questing. Raids, dungeons, p VP it had it all and still does. I just can't devote the time to the game anymore. I can't speak to the state of the game today. But back then, it was a great game.
Still remember when i first got to Lake of Liurnia after finishing stormveil, i just stopped and looked around for a good while, i couldn't believe how fantastic the game was and how beautiful the design is, it brought me back to childhood memories of the early zeldas, truly amazing.
Even though a lot of people seem to make a big deal about saying it was 10 years ago when it was really like 2 years ago, there was this period for like 6 to 8 months when this was literally the only game that like 90% of gamers were playing. The name was on everyone's lips and it will go down in history as an all-timer
I’m so glad you go the chance to play it. I also loved you saying ‘first run’, I hope you’re second run is more fun now you know the basics. And yes you completed the game! No one can tell you otherwise
After reading through some comments, I think it’s new “internet language” like saying no cap, or drip, or whatever these damn kids are saying. Like English didn’t already have the words to describe what you mean. It’s supposed to mean an opinion everyone has had for a long time and he just now figured it out. But I’m just a grouchy old man, what do I know? 😂
When they both came out, my parents bought me Super Metroid, and they got my brother Zelda LTTP. 2 of the best games at the same time, I'll never forget lol
Haven't heard anyone mention Ultima Online in forever. I remember being so amazed at the concept at that time. Grounbreaking game... And Elden Ring is fantastic, no doubt about it. And you actually have perfect timing with your playthrough. Expansion comes out in a week. Brand new map to explore and new bosses to fight.
This vid is a perfect example of the whole reason I enjoy following you, DM. I love the "we're just having a conversation" vibe. Keep doing what you do man.
Yeah, that's definitely one of my favorites of all time. It's hard to pick a true favorite with the different genres, but I loved BG1 and BG2 and was SERIOUSLY HOPING they would do the sequel well with BG3. They did NOT disappoint... great game!!!!
They truely did a great job, I’ve played 4 time over. For one game, mass effect was my previous favourite but that was over the course of 3 games. To manage that in one is so crazy. Different outcomes everytime, haven’t played and have not discovered something new.
For me, the game that combines quality, quantity and atmosphere to be my favourite game is Witcher 3. If i was more into advanced combat then maybe Elden Ring would take that spot but my number 1 game since 2015 is Witcher 3.
Combat and clunky inventory system, plus the immersion breaking way you can just walk into someone's home and loot it unchallenged, knocks W3 outside of my top 5.
@@Darksoulsboy69 I think we need look at them in the context of when they came out, and not compare them directly. It's obviously a better game, but at the time when Skyrim came out, there was nothing else that was really comparable, like Elden Ring currently.
GoAT Game fact: When you finish playing a GoAT game, you won't talk about a game you played. You will talk about an experience you had. That is, to me, the sign of a truly GoAT game.
If that was true that would be horrid for marketing, if you stopped talking about it then it wasn't that good period 😂 Your statement is nonsense and goes against known factors in neurology, psychology etc 😂 Goat games don't have 50%+ return raye or flood pawn shops in copies jfc copium much
When i think about the best(s) game(s) i have ever played i cant stop but to think about the triple holy trinity MGS 1*, 2, 3 SIlent hill 1, 2*, 3 Resident evil 1, 2*, 3 Growing up with these masterclass games was amazing
Can't tell you how many friends I've recommended the From Software games to over the years. Many ignored me, but I was able to convince a few to try Elden Ring when it dropped in 2022. They were bitten badly by the "Souls-Borne" bug and went back and bought all the older titles. From Software is simply on another level and have been for a very long time now.
Why is Elden Ring so much more popular compared to their older games? I've played most and my favorite is Bloodborne? Is it just because Elden Ring is so much easier? Im not saying it isnt good though, it really is great! I was just curious where all the popularity came from.
@@GCorndog idk. its still incredibly difficult compared to most action games. its probably a combination of many factors. one, its one of the best games ever made, just a banger from start to finish. 2, people love open worlds for whatever reason. 3 new series, so they feel they can jump in. 4 it released fully complete with shitloads of content, something rare in the modern games market. so many things combined to generate extreme levels up hype, and what seems like the first time in forever, we werent let down. shit it probably blew past almost everyones expectations
@@GCorndog ER is easier in the early game that other souls games but the later game stuff is way harder than the older titles. but fromsoft, with the additions of the spirits you can summon, ontop of the still being able to summon the npc phantoms AND they made it extremely easy to over level, example being how many people beat the game around level 100-110? haligtree where malenia is, is a 110 zone..... my point is, all of this combined has made it way more accessible to most that have been put off how punishing souls game are. summoning spirits can literally cause some boss mechanics to never happen on most bosses.
Final Fantasy 6 (3 in Japan) is the best game I've ever played, I started on a pong console. The story telling, exploration, massive scale, and secrets were top notch and changed gaming forever. If you haven't played it you should.
Only thing I could knock Bloodborne for is the fact that it's an incredibly bleak environment to immerse yourself in for any length of time. I realise at the same time this is a compliment, as that's exactly the mood the devs were wanting the player to experience, but I'm more conscious as to what I allow into my pyche these days.
I’m an 80’s gamer. But my favorite game isn’t something most people would think a 40+ year old would enjoy the most. I LOVE Minecraft. Not vanilla Minecraft. No no no. My favorite game is heavily modded hardcore Minecraft. When I say “hardcore” I don’t mean one life and when you die your save is deleted. I mean tediously long play-through modpacks that require lots of time spent and careful thought put into everything you do. Modpacks like Gregtech, Skyfactory, ATM, etc.. I get really excited when a new modpack comes out that the modding community poured their hearts into. The latest modpack that really did a fantastical job is ATM9: TTS. The quests are really well done and the flow of the game doesn’t get interrupted by insane difficulty.
Once you start getting into Miyazaki‘s games you really start to feel like other games made by modern companies have absolutely zero soul. All of FromSofts games are made with love and it shows.
It just feels like the first time since Ocarina Of Time that a developer has respected me enough to trust I can handle the challenge and they’re not going to hold my hand. There are so many games over the years that have shaped me, but something about this is different where when I truly ask myself “what’s the best game you’ve ever played?” I have a hard time putting it anywhere outside my top 3, and even then I bounce around with it being 1 or 2
He was using hyperbole, like the "x amount of time later" SpongeBob memes. He definitely meant to say Elden Ring, but just that he's coming in with his opinion really late.
That's funny you mention Star Wars Galaxies, because my brothers and I grew up playing Ultima Online, but we never tried Galaxies, and I was just looking up available servers for Galaxies!
I’d love to see your hair in its natural state. You should get some anti fizz curl gel and hair foam. You get out the shower and very lightly towel dry it, then load it up with curl gel. Flip it over and scrunch it up after you comb it through with your hands. Then just let it hair dry. Once it dry, lightly break up the curls. You want gel meant for curly hair. It’s not as hard as other hair gel meant to make it stay in place.
DM… Elden Ring is not a ten year old game lol. And people don’t say that so and so game is the Elden Ring of whatever genre, they say it’s the Dark Souls of that genre. Same developer though but not quite right.
Anarchy Online. Immersive as hell and so many different areas to explore and discover new bosses that dropped unique items that you could craft into unique armor/weapons. Crazy amount of min/maxing, and one of the best quest generator systems I've seen in a game. There was a real sense of progression and power gain as you moved from newbie island to the next area, and the next.
@@dertman Right! I remember thinking how crazy it was with internet playing MUD text games with other people before MMO's came around. Now, with how connected the world is, I can only imagine how incredible the next big thing will be.
I am So happy to hear you say this, this was my first game into the souls series and I have been hooked every since. Yes, it's hard but the feeling of accomplishment when you start crushing bosses etc with your build. I freaking LOVEEEE just running around getting lost and finding stuff. Every play through I have done, I have found at least one thing I didn't remember from the last playthroughs. Absolutely AMAZINGGGGGGGG game, ER and the Metal gear solid series are my two fav games of all time.
Subnautica is a game I have reinstalled a few times. I finished it once before, but the world is one I enjoy. That feeling of going deeper into the abyss it never goes away no matter how many times I play it.
Could not agree more and you bring up many good points. Elden Ring is the first Dark Souls game I have played and freaking fell in love with it. It's not a game that holds your hand and everything in the game is intentional with good reason. It's the first game in a LONG TIME where I felt it was a game that was well thought out, it's not the largest map of any game - but man is it ever dense, I am a completionist so going back for NG+ does not feel like it will be a waste of time. The story line is amazing as well as the world building itself! It is challenging but in a good way and change up of how you fight different bosses or even enemies can differ from zone to zone and makes you TRY and figure out different ways to overcome things. For me this game is totally a 10/10!
I'm waiting to try Elden Ring and other great games once I get a better gaming PC (currently using a laptop w a 2060) and high speed internet (stuck on a ~200MB isp)
For me it's "early" World of Warcraft (vanilla - wotlk), exploration and multiplayer elements were groundbreaking and the music was on another level along with storytelling. Final fantasy X close second place.
I watched you fight against Malenia for two days my man and it was just awesome how you tried over and over again until you finally beat her. Just cool to see someone else, who never tried any of the souls games prior to Elden Ring getting so excited about it. See you soon in the shadowlands brother.
I haven't played Elden Ring yet, but Blasphemous is one of my all time favorite games. I was never properly introduced to the Metroidvania/Souls-like genre, so playing Blasphemous as a newbie to the genre was so much fun. The atmosphere, dialogue, art, leveling, and platforming makes this game GOATed for me. Highly recommended!
elden ring and hollow knight are the two games that after i beat and got all the achievements i still wanted more like watching hundreds of lore videos and just being in awe of how extremely deep all these characters are. People just knee jerk hate things cuz popular but theres a reason some of these games that are called masterpieces are called masterpieces

I really don't think an open world sandbox would work for it. What made it different from their other games was the high polish they could put in due to it having limited choice. For example it easily has the best combat they've made but that's because it's based around 1 weapon.
For me, world of warcraft was the best game because it consumed me from launch all the way to wrath. Then I finally started to slow down and take a break. but that game held me entertained for an easy 7 to 10 years. No other game has been able to do that to me. It's a great world to explore a lot of good questing. Raids, dungeons, p VP it had it all and still does. I just can't devote the time to the game anymore. I can't speak to the state of the game today. But back then, it was a great game.
Still remember when i first got to Lake of Liurnia after finishing stormveil, i just stopped and looked around for a good while, i couldn't believe how fantastic the game was and how beautiful the design is, it brought me back to childhood memories of the early zeldas, truly amazing.
@Austrian_Painters_TopGuy I was talking about the lake part, with the sunken buildings, I found it really beautiful and well designed.
My favorite game too, it truly is a masterpiece in everyway. I'm so excited for the dlc.
Massive props for giving Myst a shoutout. That was the first quality indie game and it took the gaming world by storm.
Zelda: A Link To The Past was the best game I've ever played.
people, he didn't literally mean 10 years. it's commonly known as an "exaggeration"
Given that Demons Souls came out in 2009 you could say its an understatement
I mean, obviously not, but it makes for funny jokes.
In internet years, it's def been 10 years.
He should've just said souls.
No, he did mean it. He started talking about it as if it was Dark Souls.
Champions of Norrath 2 Return to Arms stole my heart and never gave it back.
Same here brother. Been chasing that high ever since.
Even though a lot of people seem to make a big deal about saying it was 10 years ago when it was really like 2 years ago, there was this period for like 6 to 8 months when this was literally the only game that like 90% of gamers were playing. The name was on everyone's lips and it will go down in history as an all-timer
I’m so glad you go the chance to play it. I also loved you saying ‘first run’, I hope you’re second run is more fun now you know the basics. And yes you completed the game! No one can tell you otherwise
I think he’s getting Elden ring and dark souls mixed up
After reading through some comments, I think it’s new “internet language” like saying no cap, or drip, or whatever these damn kids are saying. Like English didn’t already have the words to describe what you mean. It’s supposed to mean an opinion everyone has had for a long time and he just now figured it out.
But I’m just a grouchy old man, what do I know? 😂
Idk if you've ever played the witcher 3 but I was definitely immersed. You should give it a try if not.
yea witcher 3 is on many top 10 best game of all time, including mine.
@@down-the-rabbit-hole I'd put it as my number 1 RPG. For the story and combat felt great
Having Experienced games like: The 11th Guest, Mist, maniac mansion way back in the day, was pinnacle childhood amazement.
Do you mean The 7th Guest?
@@scorey05 7th Guest is the original, 11th Hour is the sequel, so a lil of column A and some of column B :D
Oh wow, didn't know that! 😎
I'm enjoying my Cyberpunk 2077 replay so much more than the first time, might be worth a try.
Nice - Super Metroid has a special place in my memories; I got into it right after Zelda: Link to the Past. I'll never forget that year.
When they both came out, my parents bought me Super Metroid, and they got my brother Zelda LTTP. 2 of the best games at the same time, I'll never forget lol
Same. Both games hold a special place for me. Now more so with the added nostalgia.
Haven't heard anyone mention Ultima Online in forever. I remember being so amazed at the concept at that time. Grounbreaking game...
And Elden Ring is fantastic, no doubt about it. And you actually have perfect timing with your playthrough. Expansion comes out in a week. Brand new map to explore and new bosses to fight.
I was one of the original in game counselors in Ultima Online back in the day. AMAZING game and community.
UO was my first mmo, I have sooooo many fond memories of that game.
I loved Ultima Online. My first mmo, and a classic one at that. My friends and I still bring up that game from time to time.
Still play UO lol. Insane!
Oh man! 1997! I was so hooked on UO!
This vid is a perfect example of the whole reason I enjoy following you, DM. I love the "we're just having a conversation" vibe. Keep doing what you do man.
Greedfall is one of these games that is pretty widely acclaimed, that not very many mainstream creators have played. Would love to see DM playthrough
damn, was thinking you gonna say d4
Still replay Mass Effect trilogie every 2-3 years cause its my favorite and with the legendary edition its even better.
Baldur’s Gate 3 might end up as my favorite game of all time. I’ll wait a few years to make sure it’s not just recent bias.
Yeah, that's definitely one of my favorites of all time. It's hard to pick a true favorite with the different genres, but I loved BG1 and BG2 and was SERIOUSLY HOPING they would do the sequel well with BG3. They did NOT disappoint... great game!!!!
They truely did a great job, I’ve played 4 time over. For one game, mass effect was my previous favourite but that was over the course of 3 games. To manage that in one is so crazy. Different outcomes everytime, haven’t played and have not discovered something new.
Oh my there are so many on my list
Command and Conquer
StarCraft
Oblivion
COD 4
GTA Vice City and San Andreas
Anno 1800
And that's just a few!
shut up
I can't help but just stare at the wall the entire video missing the paper towel holder.
Love the shoutout for Star Wars Galaxies! Such a great community driven game.
3:30 for those waiting to hear what game he is talking about.
Haha, THANK you!
For me, the game that combines quality, quantity and atmosphere to be my favourite game is Witcher 3.
If i was more into advanced combat then maybe Elden Ring would take that spot but my number 1 game since 2015 is Witcher 3.
Elden rings combat is basic asf really....all you need to do it dodge at the right time....keep retrying boss till you get his timing
Combat and clunky inventory system, plus the immersion breaking way you can just walk into someone's home and loot it unchallenged, knocks W3 outside of my top 5.
Elden Ring is one of those games that comes out every 10-15 years. It's that good. Not had an experience like it since Skyrim released.
Better than Skyrim
If you have a good pc. A modpack like nolvus makes skyrim pretty insane. Better graphics then elden ring
@@Darksoulsboy69 I think we need look at them in the context of when they came out, and not compare them directly. It's obviously a better game, but at the time when Skyrim came out, there was nothing else that was really comparable, like Elden Ring currently.
@@Darksoulsboy69 theres always that one guy that has to put down other games.
Yeah but it also burns the hell out of your CPU/GPU
He even learned the secret gatekeeping tech at the end 😂, keep on moving tarnished.
So true. My first Elden Ring playthrough was honestly unfortgettable. Cannot wait for the DLC!
Nobody has been saying "this is the Elden Ring of insert genre", you may be talking about Dark Souls. Elden Ring is also not 10 years old.
But Elden Ring is the Dark Souls of souls-like :)
GoAT Game fact: When you finish playing a GoAT game, you won't talk about a game you played. You will talk about an experience you had. That is, to me, the sign of a truly GoAT game.
If that was true that would be horrid for marketing, if you stopped talking about it then it wasn't that good period 😂
Your statement is nonsense and goes against known factors in neurology, psychology etc 😂
Goat games don't have 50%+ return raye or flood pawn shops in copies jfc copium much
Let me talk about an experience I had playing Bubsy 3D…
Hope to see some of these Elden ring vids on your channel. As a youtube only viewer and an Elden Ring lover, would love to see the gameplay here.
When i think about the best(s) game(s) i have ever played i cant stop but to think about the triple holy trinity
MGS 1*, 2, 3
SIlent hill 1, 2*, 3
Resident evil 1, 2*, 3
Growing up with these masterclass games was amazing
Can't tell you how many friends I've recommended the From Software games to over the years. Many ignored me, but I was able to convince a few to try Elden Ring when it dropped in 2022. They were bitten badly by the "Souls-Borne" bug and went back and bought all the older titles. From Software is simply on another level and have been for a very long time now.
I got introduced to them with King's Field II and never looked back.
Why is Elden Ring so much more popular compared to their older games? I've played most and my favorite is Bloodborne? Is it just because Elden Ring is so much easier? Im not saying it isnt good though, it really is great! I was just curious where all the popularity came from.
@@GCorndog You're spot on! I'm sure it's because it's easier and not so punishing.
@@GCorndog idk. its still incredibly difficult compared to most action games. its probably a combination of many factors. one, its one of the best games ever made, just a banger from start to finish. 2, people love open worlds for whatever reason. 3 new series, so they feel they can jump in. 4 it released fully complete with shitloads of content, something rare in the modern games market. so many things combined to generate extreme levels up hype, and what seems like the first time in forever, we werent let down. shit it probably blew past almost everyones expectations
@@GCorndog ER is easier in the early game that other souls games but the later game stuff is way harder than the older titles. but fromsoft, with the additions of the spirits you can summon, ontop of the still being able to summon the npc phantoms AND they made it extremely easy to over level, example being how many people beat the game around level 100-110? haligtree where malenia is, is a 110 zone..... my point is, all of this combined has made it way more accessible to most that have been put off how punishing souls game are. summoning spirits can literally cause some boss mechanics to never happen on most bosses.
I used to play a MUD called Ebonmists that i still miss to this day...
Final Fantasy 6 (3 in Japan) is the best game I've ever played, I started on a pong console. The story telling, exploration, massive scale, and secrets were top notch and changed gaming forever. If you haven't played it you should.
I have over 500 hours in Elden ring and it is and will remain, my only platinum trophy. Its the greatest game ever made in my opinion.
You ready for this Friday?!
Oh man, if Bloodborne ever gets a remaster/remake or a PC port, you'll be in for a treat. Imho that is Miyazaki's magnum opus.
It surely is.
Only thing I could knock Bloodborne for is the fact that it's an incredibly bleak environment to immerse yourself in for any length of time.
I realise at the same time this is a compliment, as that's exactly the mood the devs were wanting the player to experience, but I'm more conscious as to what I allow into my pyche these days.
I’m an 80’s gamer. But my favorite game isn’t something most people would think a 40+ year old would enjoy the most. I LOVE Minecraft. Not vanilla Minecraft. No no no. My favorite game is heavily modded hardcore Minecraft. When I say “hardcore” I don’t mean one life and when you die your save is deleted. I mean tediously long play-through modpacks that require lots of time spent and careful thought put into everything you do. Modpacks like Gregtech, Skyfactory, ATM, etc.. I get really excited when a new modpack comes out that the modding community poured their hearts into. The latest modpack that really did a fantastical job is ATM9: TTS. The quests are really well done and the flow of the game doesn’t get interrupted by insane difficulty.
One of the wildest and most magical first playthroughs you'll ever have.
A masterclass in open world level design and game design as a whole
I'm a huge From Software fan but ER's open-world doesn't do it for me, tbh. Except for a few nice vistas, it feels empty and pointless.
Hey DM, you upload your twitch vods here on youtube at all or on another channel?
Elden Ring is a phenomenal game for sure. It's a modern teleporter to how games felt years and years back.
The peaking behind the couch was me with soul reaver. I made a couch fort with the cushions, and was watching my mom play through the gap.
Super Metriod is when i fell in love with gaming. Phenomenal game. Elden Ring made me feel that feeling again. Another phenomenal game.
After 40 years of gaming, the best game I've ever played: Monster Hunter World.
Could not agree more.
what do you like about it?
Eh, game is good but not the best
Monster Hunter World is my favourite game as well, that game is such a master piece
True story
For me it was Outer Wilds (and the DLC) and Disco Elysium, wish I could go back in time and experience them again for the first time : 3
DE is so good
Once you start getting into Miyazaki‘s games you really start to feel like other games made by modern companies have absolutely zero soul. All of FromSofts games are made with love and it shows.
ha nice, I see what you did there
Thanks for making this video. I’m not one to watch twitch streams but you Grubby and Raaxx playing ER have made twitch a part of my evening routine
BUT HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU DIE DM !!?
I can’t believe you slept on this , unbelievable game , no hand holding 🐐
It just feels like the first time since Ocarina Of Time that a developer has respected me enough to trust I can handle the challenge and they’re not going to hold my hand. There are so many games over the years that have shaped me, but something about this is different where when I truly ask myself “what’s the best game you’ve ever played?” I have a hard time putting it anywhere outside my top 3, and even then I bounce around with it being 1 or 2
I love Ocarina of Time, but it holds your hand quite a bit!
@@skippertheeyechild6621 way back when it came out it didn’t really feel like it lol
So few people ever mention Myst, it stuck with me my whole life.
10 years? Brother it came out in 2022 lol
I was like "Did he say Elden Ring or did I just mishear?" :D
He said "10-year opinion", basically saying "It's old news" and "everyone already knows it"
@@Straggler8 it was just a quip or figure of speech. he was just exaggerating that this opinion is old news. it aint that deep yall!
DM has ADHD he has no sense of time lol!
r/Woooooosh wow youtube andys are way more dense than redditors
Your hair is mesmerizing
shut up
If I wasn't married to my fantastic wife, I would ask Darth if it would be okay to marry his hair...
damn! You are a little late to the souls games party but I am happy you got there. These games make me feel like a kid again.
Talking about Elden Ring as an older game is pretty funny
Didn't eleden ring originally come out in 2022? You planning to play the expansion when it comes out?
No. I played it in 1972.
I think his 10 year reference refers to "Souls like" but he mistakenly says "Elden Ring".
He was using hyperbole, like the "x amount of time later" SpongeBob memes. He definitely meant to say Elden Ring, but just that he's coming in with his opinion really late.
@@Zanny1540 Fair :)
That's funny you mention Star Wars Galaxies, because my brothers and I grew up playing Ultima Online, but we never tried Galaxies, and I was just looking up available servers for Galaxies!
I’m happy to see so many new players enjoying their first Fromsoft game. It’s an experience in gaming like no other. Enjoy.
10 years?????? its 2 years old.......................
shut up
he's being hyperbolic, he's known about it for awhile so it feels like that to him, he knows its not that old lol
@@shruikan64 shut up
@@adiddevil 😢 my feelings, whatever shall i do?? 😭 loser lol
Welcome. Git Gud.
I’d love to see your hair in its natural state. You should get some anti fizz curl gel and hair foam. You get out the shower and very lightly towel dry it, then load it up with curl gel. Flip it over and scrunch it up after you comb it through with your hands. Then just let it hair dry. Once it dry, lightly break up the curls. You want gel meant for curly hair. It’s not as hard as other hair gel meant to make it stay in place.
I like how he doesn’t even say what the game is… makes you click the fucking video so he can get a view. Grimey.
DM… Elden Ring is not a ten year old game lol. And people don’t say that so and so game is the Elden Ring of whatever genre, they say it’s the Dark Souls of that genre. Same developer though but not quite right.
Anarchy Online. Immersive as hell and so many different areas to explore and discover new bosses that dropped unique items that you could craft into unique armor/weapons.
Crazy amount of min/maxing, and one of the best quest generator systems I've seen in a game. There was a real sense of progression and power gain as you moved from newbie island to the next area, and the next.
Zork baby! 😂
IBM games don't get enough love these days lol
@Ziegen_ Commodore Vic 20 was my first pc. Loading programs on cassette. How far we've come!
@@dertman Right! I remember thinking how crazy it was with internet playing MUD text games with other people before MMO's came around. Now, with how connected the world is, I can only imagine how incredible the next big thing will be.
Glad DM became 1 of us now. Wish I could experience Elden Ring once more with the first time experience
I am So happy to hear you say this, this was my first game into the souls series and I have been hooked every since. Yes, it's hard but the feeling of accomplishment when you start crushing bosses etc with your build. I freaking LOVEEEE just running around getting lost and finding stuff. Every play through I have done, I have found at least one thing I didn't remember from the last playthroughs. Absolutely AMAZINGGGGGGGG game, ER and the Metal gear solid series are my two fav games of all time.
Subnautica is a game I have reinstalled a few times. I finished it once before, but the world is one I enjoy. That feeling of going deeper into the abyss it never goes away no matter how many times I play it.
Bro had me panicking thinking Elden Ring came out ten years ago like I know I’m getting old but damn
10 years ago? I thought it was released in 2022. Starwars galaxies was my first mmo. I loved that game alot
I'm so happy we have a new souls player that sees feels and is engrossed what the rest of us have been feeling and playing
Could not agree more and you bring up many good points. Elden Ring is the first Dark Souls game I have played and freaking fell in love with it. It's not a game that holds your hand and everything in the game is intentional with good reason. It's the first game in a LONG TIME where I felt it was a game that was well thought out, it's not the largest map of any game - but man is it ever dense, I am a completionist so going back for NG+ does not feel like it will be a waste of time. The story line is amazing as well as the world building itself! It is challenging but in a good way and change up of how you fight different bosses or even enemies can differ from zone to zone and makes you TRY and figure out different ways to overcome things. For me this game is totally a 10/10!
“I mean it’s alright”
ah man, I was a teen facing off with Motherbrain.. u peeking behind the couch is insta love from me to you and your old man my dude
Cat is intrigued to listen to his explanation 😂
So bizarre that’s he’s talking about Elden Ring as though it’s really old. It’s 2 years old man.
I'm waiting to try Elden Ring and other great games once I get a better gaming PC (currently using a laptop w a 2060) and high speed internet (stuck on a ~200MB isp)
For me it's "early" World of Warcraft (vanilla - wotlk), exploration and multiplayer elements were groundbreaking and the music was on another level along with storytelling.
Final fantasy X close second place.
I watched you fight against Malenia for two days my man and it was just awesome how you tried over and over again until you finally beat her. Just cool to see someone else, who never tried any of the souls games prior to Elden Ring getting so excited about it. See you soon in the shadowlands brother.
The final boss of the dlc…. The build up to it and everything. I’ve never felt a challenge so daunting since the Inferno.
I am loving all of these mostly arpg players coming to the game late and realizing just how good it is.
I haven't played Elden Ring yet, but Blasphemous is one of my all time favorite games. I was never properly introduced to the Metroidvania/Souls-like genre, so playing Blasphemous as a newbie to the genre was so much fun. The atmosphere, dialogue, art, leveling, and platforming makes this game GOATed for me. Highly recommended!
I was so scared of you going to say the game was RAID SHADOW LEGEND
Phantasy star online playing on dreamcast as a kid. Was like going to disney world for the first time. And ff8-ff9.
elden ring and hollow knight are the two games that after i beat and got all the achievements i still wanted more like watching hundreds of lore videos and just being in awe of how extremely deep all these characters are. People just knee jerk hate things cuz popular but theres a reason some of these games that are called masterpieces are called masterpieces
