My dudes, we have 28 weapon types in ER as of now, plus casting tools and torches. 8 more is very impressive but not literally doubling it.
Ruri really just says unsubstantiated stuff sometimes. See him saying Radahn is necessary to access Mohgwyn Palace if you don't follow Varre's quest, which is just false.
Yea that specific part of the podcast actually had me questioning wtf was he talking about, even if you condense it down to just simply swords, great swords, colossals, axes, etc it's still more than 10..bro just be yapping sometimes.
I don’t think that’s what he said unless I misheard. He mentioned you need to defeat Redahn before accessing the dlc, and brought up the skip involving Varres quest but was a bit muddled on the order of things and where items were.
Radahn doesn't need to be defeated to access Mohgwyn Palace in the Consecrated Snowfield. There is a different reason Radahn has to die as he is not tied to accessing Mohg in any way.
I think it's just lore related, in order to set the stars into motion.
The Magnet Hammer SHOULD come over MH very soon, it is a logical idea for a weapon!
As for enemy diversity, there's around 160 enemy types in ER (including NPC invaders), that's quite a lot. But previous Souls games also reused a lot of assets. Sekiro reused enemies and strong foes (mini bosses) ad nauseam, Bloodborne reused the same villagers and hippos throughout the game, as well as bosses and mini bosses. DS1 has pretty much the demon's, hydras, Knights and golems. But hey, I guess ER is the only game to reuse content.
German here, i dont see how Messmer would be related to knife maker. Messer means knife, but Messmer doesnt mean anything.
I just love how literally ANYONE who has played sekiro automatically remembers gyobu’s entire name 😂
2024 its insane
Feb: Granblue Relink, FF7 Rebirth
March: Dragon's Dogma 2
April: Stellar Blade, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes
June: Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance
August: Black Myth: Wukong
Such an overwhelming, amazing list of games and still, your March misses Rise of the Rōnin and Unicorn Overlord.
We can call it a year only 6 months into it.
Damn insane start of the year for JRPG fans. And we're only 2 months in... Not to mention other great games like Helldivers and Palworld
@sionteemo9697 there's also the talos principle 2! Technically it already came out on steam, but now we'll be able to play it on console. The 1st one is great, and it seems that the 2nd one did very well too. I know last year there was also that remake for system shock, i think it's definitely possible for that remake to be released this year, but I'm not sure on that one.
Edit: i meant released for console, the system shock remake is already on steam.
One thing I’ve learned on the internet is people will hate on literally anything, I’ve seen ppl hating on halldivers calling bland, I’ve seen people praise suicide squad and recently I’ve been seeing a lot of people saying elden ring was overrated.
I really don't understand the "Elden Ring is overrated" thing, because they never give an argument they go straight to the conclusion and leave it at that...
It's happening with TOTK too. I've seen people praise the hell out of it, saying it's better than BOTW is better in every way, and now they say it felt like it was just a DLC
@@BlackBladeSombrai love Elden Ring, but i think its overrated because its non very original and lacks of identity because is the fusion of all the previous fromsoftware games. The amount of unneccessary content is a lot (dungeons, reused bosses or mobs used as such, map is too big) and some of the enemies and zones are just poorly designed. Of course, i still think the games is great, some of the work they did is at the highest level.
@@dave_deckard3201i agree with the dungeons being bland and lazy boss encounters(especially in Dungeons) but i do think the game does have its own distinct identity and vibe that is quite different from the Dark Souls games
@@heibk-2019 oh for sure, the fact alone that is open world gave the game a whole new sense of wonder and the exploration was probably the best ive ever experienced in a game. So yeah it is different from souls games; but when i see the animations in general, the arm of malenia, the fact that there are "gods" (marika->gwyn) and outer gods that u never see and guide the events in the world ecc. everything reminds of the previous games and since ive already seen it the experience is less exciting.
Thanks for another episode of the podcast.
What is interesting is Varre White Mask didn’t want you to use the travel to go to blood land. So it makes me think that is Miyazaki saying we are giving this to you now. But….it isn’t finished until DLC.
What if after we finish the dlc Miquella gives us a perfected version of the unalloyed gold needle. That we can then take to Malenia (Perhaps as a final act since Miquella couldn't come back himself) and then we get to fight MALENIA PURE BLADE OF MIQUELLA
THE ULTIMATE RE-SKIN :D
if you play on pc there is a free mod called "unalloyed malenia" which does exactly that, its pretty insane
@@uuop9940 Except that's just a mod and has none of the lore behind it lol
I definitely think the woman in the painting is a death bed companion
Great conversation. I appreciate all the honesty and topics you covered.
In 38:40 I think the weapon you're referring to Rurikhan is the Frozen Needle, who's R2's send forth an ice attack. But that's exclusively the r2s that do that. Another weapon that does something similar with it's R2 is the wing of Astel.
5 seconds later Rata said it haha. Fair enough
You two are really shaping up as my favorite youtube people love your collabs
There are reasons to play Difficulty 3: You get way more Common Samples compared to Diff 1 and 2 (the amount that spawns scales), maps are larger meaning there's more PoIs to find, and those PoIs are still unguarded (they only start being guarded on Diff 4). (Similarly, 5 and 6 also gives more Common+Rare samples compared to 4, but the difficulty is also significantly higher, and 7 only ever has 3 Supers while 8 and 9 can have more)
Base game killing Radahn isn't need to reach the Snowfields, you need to get one half of the medallion from Albus in Liurnia at the Albanuric Village and then the second one at Castle Sol in the Mountaintop of the Giants, you don't even need to follow Latenna's questline though it is good to do so just for the Ancient Smithing Stone.
Lore wise can't think of a reason why you need to kill Radahn before you can access it. Like Ruri implied it might be just to stop people using the Varre skip from getting to it too early and being incredibly ill equipped to deal with the expansion.
I think the idea of Radahn freezing the stars could be the link, because you're likely going through this expansion to cause some kind of resolution that would be impossible as things stand with him alive.
@@OldManInternet I've seen a few people thinking something similar and that would be understandable if the expansion added on a new ending based on whatever it is we are going to experience in the Land of Shadow but Miyazaki has said in one of the interviews that's not the case and the expansion is it's own thing and that it is using lore that was written but didn't fit in with the story they were trying to tell in base ER. So I'm not as convinced about that Radahn theory as that feels very much like it was just for the Ranni stuff.
@zerodeadwolf213 For sure. It's just the only lore reason I could think of. It's likely just a good power level for people to be at, so they have a point of reference for the content.
You need to kill a Shard Bearer to trigger Varres quest line. Killing Radahn and then Mohg is just as quick as any other option
The other emblem is in the castle beside the really big dragon everyone used to level up with (you hit him with bleed weapons 1000 times)
The afk timer they added seemed to of helped a lot, I used to just set up the queue before I walked my dog but lately I’ve been getting in straight away but I do play at odd times
I think they killed solo invasions is because of the openworkd/ torrent. I think they could just allow solo invasions in legacy dungeons
I have some very fond memories of being invaded in Duke's Archives, Cathedral of the Deep and Archdragon Peak, the latter being the most cancerous invader I've met but by far the most satisfying to beat.
I miss the covenant invasion areas from Dark Souls
For the helldivers segment, the last weapon on the regular warbond is ok, but it has a low magazine capacity which means less ammo overall, the standard breaker shotgun is literally the meta along with the railgun and personal shield, you dont have to play them but they're standard, sure maybe eventually there will be a weapon in the premium that would be way better but like yall said, just farm super credits 🤷
You guys should give Returnal a try, some of the best 3rd person shooting. Such good game feel
I bet the land of shadows it just that huge cloud at the middle of the map hahah
there are already a few enemies in game that use throwing knives, two that come to mind right away are chakram crystalians, and faram azula beastmen.
Yeah Limgrave is about the 2nd largest area behind Liurnia, in terms of overall real estate
I forgot about ratatoskr. You the man!
Amazing podcast
I'm leaning towards going in with my first character because they are super high level and I can use all the toys right away, kinda like what Ruri mentions.
At the same time though, there's nothing quite like going into a new DLC on a new character and experiencing things as you would as a brand new player.
I'm still kinda waffling though. My first character is at the very start of NG+++ I think, so I might play through to Mohgwyn Palace and see how I feel about it then.
On the discussion of pvp I also think that hard swapping has killed it. It is so true that so many people who Invade are constantly switching weapons/talismans via the menu while invading which completely negates the point of a build and equip load. It really isn’t fun trying to play the game the way it was intended to be played against a try hard exploiting the menu swapping to get a cheap win.
To solve the issue of people not advancing when they’re invaded and they have co-op partners I think it’d be funny if they would spawn 2-3 elite enemies behind the hosts every minute until they kill an enemy that is static in the map or the invader.
solo invasions could be added to the shadowlands lets not lose hope
i have 450 h in ER and 3 builds ready for the DLC, lets gooooo
600, 9 😉
1700, 10 builds (thats the max)
I want the short sword and shield together like that weapon from DS3 Ashes of Arandiel with the lion theme. And for hell divers what it’ll really be cool is to be able to customize the color of the armor and weapons and a logo creator, armor core 6 like
Making a frozen build for the DLC now. Feel lots of stuff is gonna be vulnerable to it :)
Valley of Defilement was pain, I agree that they haven't really bettered it. I'm very excited for the new poison swamp.
"Larger than limgrave" is probably just a curve ball so you experience more of the "oh actually this is crazy big"
Well it may also point to the new map being more interconnected.
Little note for everyone who wants to access mohg early without having to wait until mountain tops of the giant: Varre is in a church in liurnia and he will give you red fingers to invade. If you do not have online like me (I'm a broke ass 😢😢), you can go to altus and enter the invasion where you invade an npc that has beast incantation. Just suicide against him 3-5 times and talk to Varre again. He will give you the item that will teleport you to the mogh area. From there just sit on a grace and there you go, you accessed mogh early and best part is you wouldn't even need to kill any bosses before going because the medalions to go are in chests in different fortresses, so you don't even need to kill makar. There you go, bye.
I totally get where you guys are coming from with the replayability, however for me personally I can't stop playing elden ring no matter how big it is. I mean I haven't been playing it exclusively since release, I didn't even play it at release but I'm just saying it never gets old for me. Sometimes I have to take breaks in between playthroughs but I always end up picking it back up instead of playing other games.
Lol I spent 40 hours in limgrave (the first time around)
I spent 10 and the only thing I missed was the crucible knight you drop down to in Stormveil
Siofra river (everything you can access before killing Radahn) is definitely "a part of Limgrave" because you can go to any site of grace there/kill any boss without even triggering a roundtable hold invitation. And as y'all said Miyazaki loves to downplay, it's definitely going to be bigger than all of what toskr said + Siofra river and of course more densely packed. There's no reason for anyone to worry about the amount of content we'll get
If they do it like previous games, or even like the underground areas in the base game, one we've unlocked the area, fast travel between areas will be unlocked.
I’d like there to be another frenzy weapon, maybe a katana or curved sword 🔥
I'm one of those people at 1:20:00 that want to get invaded but don't want to invade.
What makes me not mind the premium warbonds in Helldivers 2 is that you can literally find super credits in missions, and they're not even that rare. I already have enough to get the current premium warbond but I'll save up since it doesnt look like the current one has any equipment I want. If I reach 2K then then yeah I'll prob spend some to get the current one.
I don't think that timetravel happen only one time if we add bloodborne and sekiro to the conversation
I know they said they wouldnt change the base game but man I wish they released the Melina update: now 50% less ass, more dialogue and summonable on every grace always until she burns away.
i dont know anything bout helldivers but im extremely happy its going well. but if some ppl get so serious with politics there, i d love to see them reacting to Warhammer 40k!
Completely unrelated on the video but I just want to say to anyone who is a fan of platformers. Who hasn't tried Penny's Big Breakaway yet. You 1000% owe it to yourselves to play that game. Genuinely one of the best platformers I've played in recent memory and it is 100% criminal that it isn't recieving more attention.
Let's go SMTV new story
Personally, replayability is never about trying to recapture the 'magic' of the first playthrough. This isn't a negative at all, because some things are better when you have more knowledge and experience than you did the first time, especially when it comes to things like combat and builds. I've replayed ER about a dozen times, but I haven't gone to every mini-dungeon or did every questline like I did (or tried to) on my first go.
I do as much as I like and whatever I feel like doing at the time, which is still a lot as it includes all the legacy dungeons, major dungeons (like Castle Morne), underground areas, some field bosses, settlements like Sellia and Dominula, and so on. I really don't get this 'all or nothing' stance where you want to imitate your first playthrough so thoroughly that you'd put yourself through things you'd much rather not do, like reading every bit of flavor text or doing every mini-dungeon. And I'm someone who sweeps every inch of almost all the areas in a Soulsborne game, even on my tenth playthrough; I just do it for pure fun and immersion, though.
I guess I just don't believe that it can't get better than your first time, even if it was 'magical'. In fact, it's the Fromsoft games that are proof of that to me, as the first go with each one was great, but it's usually either my second or third that is my favorite. Even then, my most recent playthroughs aren't any less fun. Elden Ring is a bit of an exception, admittedly, as the sense of exploration it thrives on is so dependent of the initial discovery, but even then there are other aspects I loved and appreciated more about it on following attempts, such as builds, bosses, and the story.
When it comes to the themes of the Elden ring I feel like it’s about loyalty and devotion in a way. I’m kinda just making shit up but I did notice that there’s a lot of relationships between characters where both parties need each other. Like miqualla and Melania, ranni and us, now miqualla and us. There’s also a lot of brtrayals of this devotions. Like how Marika has taken advantage of a lot of people to further her own goals.
Don’t take this too seriously this was just a thought
Small corrections. In sekiro you kill minor bosses and they drop prayer beads that Upgrade your health and posture. Only major bosses reward a memory that can permanently increase your Attack Power and allows you to refight that boss at any time. There are already Elden Ring corrections here so i'll skip those. Didn't see any for sekiro though so i might as well do it. With 7 games i often get stuff mixed up as well.
Maybe Miguella and Fia are accomplices.
Maybe they created St. Trina to try and find Godfrey in the realm of dreams.
My going theory is that the player character was an accomplice of Miquella before they were banished.
Did you mean Godwyn ?
They added the afk boot feature to the game, the servers should be way more available now from all those login afkers
The people who complain about price are most likely people who play exclusively free games
And then nickel and dime themselves on micros until they've spent 2-3x that price
My fondest invasion memories are me cosplaying as Forlorn, with the name Forlorn, in DS2 and the host thinking I'm the NPC for example therefore they don't expect me to be able to jump the gap the turtle knight creates in Iron Keep. I had one guy pull out a bow and start shooting arrows at me from what he thought was safety back then.
Most people realized I was a human but I could kinda tell some people didn't.
I bet the prompt to enter the egg won't show until you've defeated both mohg and Rahdan. There is probably a lore reason behind why, maybe to do with the stars. Because Rahdan is way earlier in the game compared to the portal in the snowfield and would seem like a random requirement other wise.
Like you can probably get to Mohg while in Liurnia like normal through Varre, but you won't actually be able to interact with the egg until Rahdan is dead too
What worries me a little is Elden ring was so good and most likely this dlc will be as well. How do they top it… I will never question anything fromsoft and miyazaki do but man once Elden rings content is over after this expansion. Can they go back to making linear style souls games again? I dunno. I would still probably enjoy it but I’d be remiss if I didn’t say it might feel like a step back from Elden ring. This open world style has to stay.
I have this fantasy that they will be big enough to do near simultaneous releases. A sekiro or bloodborne successor and another elden souls lol. Armored core is supposed to be great, too so it's not like they can't go back to linear stuff.
The rumour mill says spellbound might be the next ip
I could see them releasing Dark Souls 4 and having it be more linear for the diehards who enjoy that. And then 5 years later release Elden Ring 2 or something else open world.
From what Miyazaki has said they don't have anything as big as Elden Ring in the can atm (I don't believe him) but he willing to do it again. Personally I just want good games. AC6 felt like a lateral step post ER and I loved it, I'm more a melee guy and it pushed slightly different buttons (Pile Bunker my beloved bridged that gap a bit). I'll be happy with smaller more experimental games or bigger ones.
calling it everywhere lol the land of shadows are what is hidden in the middle of the map ! Literraly in the shadow of the erdtree veiled by Marika
That's awesome you are reading berserk ruri once you read all of it you'll realize elden ring is damn near alternate universe berserk from enemies to npcs every major berserk character is represented in elden ring. It's mad interesting.
I’m just gonna say that helldivers 2 has more planet variety and also detail than starfield has. Goes to show that quality over quantity sometimes is better. And a game that’s charged 70-100 can be worse than a game that’s priced 30-40.
If you complain at gaming in 2024 your not looking in the right corner
Is there really a point in doing a whole new run with a different build when you can just respec with Rennala?
I run out because I swap so much. Sometimes it's nice to see a build in the early stages. I've watched st riot and he kinda invades as he builds, and I started doing that too. Makes me feel more connected to the character. Then I'll find a build I like, and I'll want to do it again haha. I don't usually finish any of these, but it's a different kind of experience than doing Ng+ or something where it's all kinda easy in PvE once you get going.
@@notsorrystory Gotcha. It might also be pretty overwhelming having to look through all the spells/weapons when changing an endgame build. Better to just start fresh and make something organically.
Only thing the Elden Ring DLC trailer needed was some Tibia Mariners, one of the coolest yet underutilized enemies in the game.
Listening to this reminds me how long it's been since I really played Elden Ring. I'm really looking forward to going from returning to World, to Relink, to Dragon's Dogma 2, to a fresh Elden Ring run, to the expansion, and then hopefully into Dawntrail assuming they give me enough time.
The only thing that coukd screw up gaming for me in 2024 would be the Elden Ring expansion and Dawntrail coming out around the same time.
2:00:10 the point people are making is that conservatives don't understand that it's satire, which is true.
The twist with that point is that almost nobody is taking it literally. Besides random actual nazis you may run into, most people understand it’s satire and simply roleplay as helldivers. It’s people mistaking sarcasm and enthusiasm for the game (people jokingly getting into “character” while playing the game, “hur hur spreading democracy”) as genuine fascism or endorsing the concepts in the game.
Hardly any actual conservatives are misunderstanding the sarcasm, it’s more liberal types mistaking obvious sarcasm and enthusiasm for the game as taking the game seriously. Ironically the people saying the conservatives are taking it seriously are taking it more seriously than the conservatives.
Edit: also I’ve seen plenty of non-conservatives acting like this so it’s not even a conservative “issue”, it’s sensitive people mistaking sarcasm and embracing of the satire as taking it literally.
lol no SMTV story didn't suck, wtf
also its not just a new route, they reworked and enhanced the OG route aswell
It's not bad. But it's not great either.. what story there was in the base game was pretty barebones and the human characters that were kinda like our counterparts don't really do much or have much screentime. Hoping the new Vengeance storyline fixes that
@@sionteemo9697 I loved to OG story and just wanted to be in that world. I only wanted a port which supports 4k60 and we getting so much more, so its a win win for me
I’m not the biggest invasion fan. Dark Souls 3 kinda pushed me that way. I decided to do my first ringed city playthrough with my level 300 something character on like ng+ 5 or 6 and I got invaded in the ghost archer area by a Havel mage and I ended up winning but man I wanted to throw a controller.
In lords of the fallen I was invaded by a new player and in the area where you fight the angel lady I stood by the petrified statues and the guy was so confused he walked past me like 20 times and then I pancaked him with my duel faith greatswords. Greatest laugh I had in a long time. Dude probably asked for a refund after that 😂
Edit: Yo I see what youre saying Ratatoskr, but you don't "have to pay $10." This is a gross mischaracterization. Ruri said it similarly, too. You don't "have to pay." You guys gotta stop saying that lol. I've earned enough to get the battle pass without farming once. In like a less than a week. I'm not stoked about the rotating store either so I feel you guys on that, but this is a model that can change the industry for the better, and it can get the devs paid enough to actually continue supporting it in the way people want.
I'm going to say at the time of this comment that I've had zero issues logging in. The kick patch has done wonders it seems. Quick match works and it works fast. I have had disconnects and other minor bugs, so I guess I still second waiting for people that haven't purchased it yet. Still, I've found it well worth the $40 in a weekend.
Lastly, I'm slightly worried about new passes every month. I can't imagine that not creating a wide gulf in accessing the future meta stuff. Even if you pay, you can't buy medals, and I'm not sure you should be able to. But I won't let that sour me yet. The other side is that there seems like there will be plenty of content to get to. Excellent base game. Can't imagine what comes next.
Good pod guys.
I thought Limgrave was the hole game and was completely happy
swords, curved swords, maces, spears, axes, halberds, bows, claws, twinblades, daggers, flails, caestus not including all the staffs n shiz
Yall should read Blade of the immortal, is to sekiro what berserk is to dark souls, It also inspired some things from bloodborne
On a completely unrelated note, I'm actually gonna read dracula and I'm gonna try to squeeze in fevre dream as well, before the dlc comes out. I'm probably wrong , but i had a gut feeling that there could be some vampire inspirations in the trailer. Either way, it should be good reading, if nothing else.
Damn, the way he dismissed Ratas lore theories was disrespectful. Thought the Miquella tricking mohg was pretty good.
I think my comment came out wrong, I noticed it when I was editing too. I even thought to myself, “damn that sounded harsh” I didn’t meant it to sound dismissive but excited to hear both his and others theories. I believe he understood what I meant though. But I do understand where you’re coming from.
Well, hope they re-release FF7 Remake with an alternative version that's without the turd fate ghosts like Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is getting a better alternative storyline.
In fact after all 3 games are out they should upgrade them with the option to play the original story and link them together because as usual with Square Enix they lied and it's NOT a game cut into 3 connected games like they promised (like Mass Effect trilogy) it's actually 3 completely separate games and
NOTHING carries over from one game to the next.
It was needed else it be imposinle to balance look at mass effect 3 on a new account vs 1 from me2 is drastically easier then facter lvls i beat game round 50 to 60 but max lvl is 100
@e-lg6di The game has difficulty modes which could be used to mitigate any issues of this kind if designed with that in mind, by adding a medium difficulty between the base difficulty and hard one.
If new the game starts you on base diff (easiest) but if you load a save from previous game you get locked into medium or higher if you want, it's doable, they just didn't bother.
you know I usually don't pvp in souls game. I tend to try and minimize the chances of being invaded. So know that I am completely unbiased with what im about to say. invasions in elden ring are absolutely miserable. not only do they heavily favor the invaded but they do so while spawning you 10 miles away from them. I swear the 3 times I invaded people during the varres quest line not once was I spawned a reasonable distance from the invaded. and whats worse is some people genuinely think that this type of gameplay is acceptable.
Jesus man, did Khan play this game or what? He has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about half the time
Also, I'm so glad that people have been using Helldivers 2 as an excuse to dunk on Destiny 2.
As a former Destiny addict, I hate that game and everything it represents. Helldivers 2 is what Destiny should have been. It's so good. I don't even really need anything in game anymore. I have a couple of ship upgrades left but I mostly just need more rare samples and I can get those whenever. Right now I just boot up the game, run a few missions and then call it quits. It's always fun and I'm generally indifferent to failure as there's nothing about the game encouraging toxic attitudes. I've heard some malicious players are roaming around but so far I've yet to encounter them and that seems to be a result of pure malice rather than anything having to do with the game.
I do wish that HD2 hadn't spent two weeks utterly borked. Then maybe we'd have gotten some balance passes instead of downtime and server fixes. I really want to use some weapons but many of them are hot garbage and seriously need buffs. Breaker is OP but its biggest failure is the range. If it had steeper damage drop off it'd be perfect. Buff everything else to not be a pea shooter and you'd be golden.
Nothing gives away that you’re a knuckle dragging sword user in a souls game like saying there’s only 8 weapon types in the game lmao
Clearly. Me. A Sword User. True.
"nice space between everything" bs, it's way too bloated in the start imo :P hah
Limgrave is not the biggest area of the map though? But I do like it all the same, so I'm hyped.
Rui is of course used to reused models, he's a MH and MMO player ;) hehe. But I do think Elden Ring's reused em a bit too much and they don't feel different enough. Reusing models can fine, but when the fights also feel like no real change up? ZZzz... MH does that well, MH uses a lot of the same models, but because of environment and enemy movesets, they feel different.
Chalice Dungeons woulda been better if I coulda just shared experience in co-op. Sure I did them all alone first, but after that, I hate doing em three times per person cause of not sharing experience/completion and being kicked back after each boss.
Personally, i know im the only person on the planet to think this. But i kind of hated bloodborne and was disappointed by it. But I loved elden Ring, so i doubt it's possible this could disappoint me.
Destiny fanbois or bungie fan boys?! Never got into halo other than the multi-player
1:24:34 I can understand why you appreciate getting invaded. I just have to say I really don’t enjoy that whole thing about the souls games. I also would like to play through the games with my brother, but he is like me and hate the fucking invasions. In DS3 I rather farmed the covenant items from mobs to get the trophies instead of dealing with invasions.
Maybe FromSoftware should sell too versions of their next souls like game. One where you can play Co-op and take on the game with a friend, and another version where you have invasions. I wonder which one would sell the most.
I always enjoyed invasions and they were opt in in all the games since u needed to be human to be invaded
But I also like co-op. I like both aspects.
Why separate the two? People who enjoy invasions ALSO enjoy playing the game with Co-op. I think there’s a balance. If you use rune arcs, I think it should be fair game to get invaded even at Solo. Whats good about arcs is it isn’t forced upon you, as most people forget about the arcs anyway.
@@rurikhan yes I understand it. I would even be happy if they just made it an opt-out option. Since I understand it is the intended experience for the game.
My experience with it is dogshit. 99% pvp combat I’ve experienced when invaded is them lagging out and stabbing me in the back. I also hate when I’m about to leave the area and progress with my game, but some scum bag invader is hiding in the level so there is a fog wall hindering me from progressing. They can fuck off with that. I’m not gonna go out of my way to look for these scumbags I don’t want in my game. It’s ridiculous I have to close out my game and relaunch it to continue playing.
@@YeeterSkeeter-uw4mu I’m saying me and my brother don’t want that. We love the game and want to play Co-op, but the invasions we both have experienced has just been really bad pretty much every time.
I mean, there are good games around.
But there is a lot of garbage as well.
I just don't like people, i don't want them in my video games or at least i always want a option to not have them appear, they are a bad mechanic, add nothing to my experience & only retract from the experience of the game itself.
Obviously there are games solely focused around people & I'm not going to say remove them, like the cars/vehicles from racing games, or the balls & bats from sports games. Those are just not my type of games.
Its just when i go into a experience that can be completely enjoyed without people (even including ai is able to take their place, like Grandblue) I'd like to not have them mess up the game, by taking away from what gaming is.
That’s why play offline exists.
@@rurikhan yeah exactly & I do that, when its available. Not everything allows that, like helldivers which won't be a game I'll ever be able to play & enjoy to the fullest, despite being a PvE focused game.
It's just when ppl talk about us who don't want to play with people or deal with mechanics like PvP in souls games, are talked about by people who enjoy it, intentionally or not (I know you both are well intentioned, don't get me wrong) it always comes off as if, we who don't like interacting with other ppl are the bad guys for not engaging with others/those mechanics, despite, I'd say confidentially for all of us (minus a vocal minority who are just toxic hot air) all we want is a seperate space we can enjoy the games our way whilst you guys can enjoy your way, for all PvE focused games without having to force us into a position of knowing a game will be a fun experience but can't play it bcos other people are a barrier to entry we don't want to deal with. Yet despite wanting us all to have fun, we are the bad guys bcos for just asking for our own space by making all games to have, as you mention, an offline mode, which they all don't.
But this is just how I feel & that's what both these comments are mate, just me expressing my emotions on the subject out loud, not directed really at you or Ratatoskr or anyone.
Anyway have a good one mate 👍.
Are they talking about consent and then advocating for invasions with no choice?
Are you seriously about to compare r@pe and video game invasions right now? Go ahead and finish that thought.
It's fine if he wants to dog Destiny players. Destiny and Bungie definitely deserve some criticism. However, Elden Ring STILL runs like DOGSHIT on my 3080ti and it runs like dogshit on PS5.
When are they gonna sort THAT out???
You should take your ps5 for repair or something. Game runs fine last time I played it. Dunno about your PC but my first play through on a 6900XT was also not that bad.
@an What happened was this; when I first started playing, the game ran poorly but then just "fixed itself" after 60 or 70 hours. I left the game at about 95.7 hours. Went back to it the other day and now the game runs poorly again.
For the record, all games on my PS5 run fine. Accept for some reason I need to download the PS4 version of Elden Ring for a proper experience and I think that sux.
What is your CPU and RAM frequency?
You know that complaining about people complaining about not liking the state of video games is even more annoying than the people complaining about the video games, right? Let people complain about the products they consume ffs. If you're happy, that's great for you.
Potentially. But an inaccurate, ill-informed complaint rooted in a lack of curiosity is generally more annoying to me. To each his own.
@@ErikWithBrain All Rurikhan ever says is either: 1) Stop complaining; the game is good (applied to any game he remotely enjoys), or 2) Stop complaining and play something else because there are some good games. The ironic thing is that this is a discussion with Ratatoskr who is a professional complainer.
Your reply here is factually wrong and easily provable by looking at my previous work. Even though most of my stuff is in fact positive because I rarely waste time playing things I don’t like.
@@rurikhan Sure, it was hyperbolic to say "all he ever says." I can grant you that point as I haven't been watching for that long. However, now it just seems hypocritical to call out others for complaining if you partake in it yourself. I'm not even trying to be an ass, I genuinely don't know what the angle is here. Is it, "I can complain about things, but you're annoying for complaining about the things I like (GIGACHAD)"? I could respect that, but I don't think that's what you're trying to do.
You know whats most annoying? People complaining about the people complaining about people complaining about the state of video games.
