The one thing this game and dark souls games lacks for me is the motivation. If the game is going to be that hard I want cut scenes as a reward. What usually drives me to get through a difficult game is that I want to know what happens next. Probably a product of me growing up on RPG's.

I understand it fine and for me it's a good game that recycles everything from their older games. Control scheme,engine,u.i.,story,inventory management,characters, etc. Not to mention the demons souls remake looks absolutely stunning while elden ring looks ok.

people give it one star because they can't handle rejections or challenges. It's no different than people getting rejected by a girl after asking her out, so they start calling her ugly. It's not that they don't understand the style of the game, it's just that the game reminds them that they are bad in this type of game and it hurts their fragile feelings, so they review bomb the game.

Awesome job at explaining this to non-Souls players! I love how you explained in ways that wouldn't necessarily turn someone off of the game and definitely help those who might be incredibly disappointed if they were expecting something much different. I absolutely love this game. I have 1170 hours in Dark Souls III (New game +7 lvl over 400) (My profile pic is my DS character) I am currently in new game + in Elden Ring with 360 hours. I do think the game would greatly benefit by including a journal that kept track of conversations you've had with npcs for questing because the world is so large and so much to do you tend to forget who you spoke to and what they told you. (At least that's what happened to me. lol - Although that can be remedied by keeping notes yourself) Keep up the good videos!

I was expecting to give up at the first boss because I did so with Bloodborne after getting overly frustrated. But after dying a ton to Margit, I took the time to research ways to beat him instead of giving up, and when I won, it felt awesome. Sure dying tons to the same boss or in the same area is frustrating, but instead of giving up, I take the time to learn. That's where I believe the fun comes from. And, man am I having a good time.

I have a hard time getting over the fence and buying this game because I am not 100% sure I would enjoy having to fight the same boss 50 times. I do not mind the no-hand holding, in fact I love that aspect. I do not mind the difficulty, though I wish there were more of a curve to it. But I am a completionist and explorer at heart and when I play games I want to see every corner of the map, break every barrel, turn over every rock and my excitement and joy comes from the exploration, the discovery. So the idea of being blocked from exploration because I have to fight a very difficult creature X number of times just makes me think I may not enjoy this game much.

@@cimtaurus1605 I'm pretty biased towards fromsoft games and think they're amazing. Elden ring is THE game if you're interested in trying it. You will die, alot. Hell, start of the game pretty much requires new players to die at least twice and veterans die a minimum of twice too. The game is soooo accessible. You can fight sooooo many bosses as soon as you enter limgrave (essentially the very start). First main boss is designed to wreck players completely with difficult for some vets. It teaches you how to adapt as most players will run or dodge away from it and that's where his moveset targets you. If you get stuck on him, you can just go somewhere else, get stronger and come back later easily. Theres sooo much to explore off the bat and do other than the boss. I HIGHLY recommend trying the game out yourself. So many ways to fight your enemies and customise your builds, it's ridiculous. If an enemy feels too strong, it is for your level. Tree sentient you encounter very early and its best to run past him and return later when you're more experienced and stronger. Couldn't praise the game enough tbh and if you dont like it, you can always return it but im certain you'll be hooked. Once you finally best a boss that's been destroying you for a while, you feel amazing! That feeling is one of the MANY things we love about souls games and im sure you'll understand too soon enough

I gaurentee when you first start playing that you are going to start having some doubts, KEEP GOING. To address your concern about having to restart a boss 50 times, this can happen in most other souls game, but in Elden ring the world is soooo big and there are so many places and other bosses to do that if one area or one boss in particular is really getting on your nerves, go fight other stuff. You will level up and get better gear, making that super annoying boss much easier 5-10 hours later when you come back. Just my 2 cents. PS: These games almost never block you off from exploration or discovery because an enemy is to difficult. The truth is you can literally just run past almost every enemy in the game and pick up items or just keep going the direction YOU want. Also understand that the game actually communicates to you and helps you through death. Its telling you "maybe your not ready for this guy yet, sneak past or go somewhere els.

I talked a friend of mine into trying it. This is his first souls borne game and he's already loving it, despite the learning curve and difficulty spike.

I'm new, but i actually really love it! Winning a fight feels rewarding and negates my frustrations that i felt beforehand. TBH the only thing i struggle with is how scary the game can be, such as Astel who is pure nightmare fuel

!! I've only watched two videos from you, but I really do appreciate the fact that you seem to be the kind of person to not judge people for having other play styles and other opinions. I get very easily frustrated with events in games that I can't get past after two or three attempts, and I'm pretty used to people teasing me or calling me a baby for it, so your approach to this and your understanding nature was very refreshing. I love open world games and I love exploring, but I do indeed hate not getting past an enemy after a couple of attempts, and that's the sole reason I've hesitated on buying Elden Ring. I also play on PC and don't use controller, and I tend to get a bit lost with the way some of the characters speak in such vague terms in this game. It really sounds like it's not for me and I really appreciate a video that doesn't down me for being unable to play it. You've saved me $60, and I guess I'll continue to enjoy the game from afar through playthroughs :)! Thank you so much

bloodborne isnt a horror though. Its aesthetic and world building lore is a nod to H.P. Lovecraft cosmic sci-fi horror, but the game design intentions tiptoes nowhere near horror.

Just got it as a gift, played through the tutorial and explored the world just a little bit. I tried really paying attention and experimenting with the controls to get familiar. I encountered a group of three normal enemies that gangbanged me, there was nothing I could do. Realized then and there I was not having fun, and I would not have fun. The combat feels very clunky and needlessly frustrating. And aside from that, the game is just boring.

I’m 85 hours in Elden Ring. I only have two great Runes because I’ve been so obsessed with exploration and grinding for builds to play through the game with. Taking it slow and having fun solo and with friends 😀

This is my first souls game and I’ve put in 40+ hours already. I can’t stop playing even though I die a lot😂

I was fighting a highly optional boss that only give you materials for you phsysicks flask, it took me about four straight hours of learning its attacks and movements along with constantly switching from my bleed weapon to my greatsword. I died constantly, almost to the point where I said screw it and tried to cheese it only to die even more. However I eventually beat it and it was pure bliss, killing that boss/enemy that was constantly killing you brings a joy thay isn't possible with a "change the difficulty" setting.

Nioh made me shit my pants. Shit that game is a life crysis.

I bought Elden Ring despite never playing a souls game in my life, and I did it with the intent of it being my first souls game. I had always wanted to try the souls genre but I was put off by the difficultly, but when I finally picked it up I found that I got used to the combat quite easily and I really did surprise myself. It’s actually really satisfying. I researched the stats system and how to effectively use stats and what I should invest my runes in based off what build I wanted. By the time I reached the first boss, even when I had loaded my brain with combat tips and I used every item to assist me at my disposal I died over and over and over and over to margit. But that wasn’t a bad thing, infact it made it more rewarding I did finally do it and knowing that I did that as a first time souls player makes me feel so rewarded and I’m excited to see the rest of the game, I intend to stick with this until the end :)

@Rapo Nose RPG is an extremely broad term. Some games are completely built around RPG elements such as Skyrim, Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age, and KOTOR which are all Western RPG's. Games like Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption have western RPG elements, but not nearly as much as those other games. Those other games have insane amounts of dialogue choices, character (stats and reputation) building, quests, etc. while Elden Ring for example has character (stat) building but not much of the other stuff. So it really just depends what RPG elements you like, otherwise the criteria is too broad. Side note: I specified western RPG's because there are also JRPG's (Japanese) that share some of the same elements but are not quite the same.

New to the series. This game is fantastic. Love the guides from the dedicated die hards which makes the game relaxing for me. 10/10 thanks in part to the community.

@@ChuckMothaEfenNorris That is a tricky question, in the long run, no, you’ll regret not knowing a lot of things beforehand. So, in order to avoid that and give you the best guide/spoiler free experience, I’ll list the most important things to remember! 1. Never kill interactable NPCs without looking them up, such as for quest lines or story progression. 2. Pick up every crafting material you can, I realized very early on that I should’ve have skipped over all those Red Berries and Yellow Flowers. There’s no reason not to pick up every crafting material you see. 3. A lot of areas on the map that have important boss fights are marked with distinctive features on the map without you even having to discover them. Such as the Minor Erdtree Bosses (All marked by large trees on the map, just go to the base of any one you see and there will be a bossfight there) or dungeon areas such as mines, catacombs, or caves (All marked by deep red and orange blotches on the map resembling doorways or holes. Note: Included in this list, (a very small amount of) a special kind of bossfight can be spotted on the map without having to discover them. But only a small few. Look for circles in the terrain resembling a target, you’ll find one. 4. Mark points of interest on the map, the marker system is very useful for organizing Abandoned Bossfights, Item Farming Areas, Unexplored Areas, and even Specific NPC locations if you need. You have a plethora of symbols to use with the marker system. 5. If you start an NPC quest, finish it. Interacting with too many characters and starting too many quest lines at once can not only be overwhelming, but also has a good chance to cause some sort of issue with other quests. 6. Stay below the “Heavy Load” threshold. Exceeding this makes you a lot less nimble in fights, keeping a clear and organized equipment roster is key. 7. Never be afraid to look stuff up. If you want to avoid spoilers then just go step by step. But don’t be afraid to look up the next step in a quest line or a puzzle you can’t solve. It would most likely take you hours upon hours to find what you are looking for and you may end up quitting that activity entirely. Also things like item or boss locations are useful to know, look those up if you need. 8. Read messages, they can be the difference between life and death if they warn you of an ambush. Also, messages left by other players can lead you to hidden treasure, mark important areas, or generally aid you in your journey. Also they are just funny to read most of the time. 9. Magic is overpowered. Weapon enchantments, Summons, player boosting spells, offensive magic, all are extremely powerful in the game. Use them only if you plan on playing on easy mode. 10. Know what you want to play as. Your levels get increasingly more expensive as you level up, knowing what you want to play as such as a Strength, Magic, or Dexterity fighter gives you the chance to level up the things you need. DONT FORGET TO LEVEL UP VIGOR I hope this was useful, take all this into mind and you should be golden! Have fun!

Please don't ruin your experience by following youtube guides for "OP builds" or "INSANE farms" etc.. They will only ruin the game for you. The game is intended to be vague, difficult and have easy to miss sections. The whole point of the game is (in my opinion) to suffer, enjoy and learn in the first playthrough. Things are meant to be missed. Farming will come in later NG+'s. NG+7 a trash mob will likely give the same souls as a boss on the first playthrough.

Should have stopped leveling at 150 unless you wanna play completely solo. The Meta is 150. Meaning 150 still allows someone to be super powerful and specialize in a build, yet still allows builds diversity. Higher than 150 makes you basically good at too many things. This is the level the community settles on so that everyone can keep connecting with each other via online play for coop, invasions, boss fights, and duels. If you just play solo and never wanna do anything online then yea I guess go high as you want.

How was so far the game?Thinking of getting it

I love this game too much man, my first soulsbourne game and Im having a blast. Just finished God Skin Duo, even tho it took me 21 times to beat it, I still enjoyed my time. This game is definitely a classic and you can just feel the love from software put on this game.

I think some people want a game that’ll help them throughout the experience, and Elden ring kind of just tosses you into this giant world and says good luck.

Ok so I bought dark souls 3 like a good couple a months before elden ring came out but I never really got to playing it. Should I play ds3 first then elden ring or should I be fine going back to ds3 after elden ring?

Something a new player can do is explore the multiplayer mechanics whenever you enter a dungeon. When you die as a cooperator you get to keep your runes and enemy drops. And you get to scope out the boss before you waste your finger remedies

An important thing to note for a new player is to respect every enemy's capability to kill you in unexpected ways. You may kill hundreds of one enemy type to the point where they can't even touch you unless in large numbers. Until you encounter one on a narrow ledge and think "I got this no problem" until a second one emerges from the shadows to give you a gentle nudge into a bottomless pit

This game is such a Gem. Its only hard for those who are unwilling to learn.

One thing I love about souls games is even OP builds will hit a wall at some point. There will be a boss, mini boss or mob that pretty much ignores your build. Whether it's resistant to your damage type or just powers through chances are you'll still find that one you die to many times.

This is my first experience of a souls game and was a wake up call that’s for sure. And yes it does frustrate me but It makes it that much sweeter when you do overcome obstacles. I think that’s why it’s keeps bring me back surprisingly.

Don't give up. I beat demon souls for PS5 then picked up sekiro. Sekiro is the hardest game i have ever played.. Now im on the last boss fight. I have noticed with these from soft games. You need to jump around the levels/areas until you are strong enough to take on other enemies in those tougher levels/ areas.. For example in demon souls there are 5 worlds. You would think go through them 1-5. When it is easiest to do world 1. Then some of 2 because it is harder than 3 and 4. . Then go do most of 3. Then some of 4. Then back to 2. Then back to 3 and 4. They do not explain this to you. Some people figure it out. Others quit.

Bruh, it took me over a dozen tries before I beat Tree Sentinel solo..the feeling of accomplishment is unparalleled

I had to cheese to get to a high enough level to be able to be up to par snd have a chance with the bosses. I just don't have hundreds of hours to dump into a video game right now.

coming from someone who's never played any of the other souls games, only knowing that the games caused many people to have mental breakdowns, i absolutely loved elden ring. ive been playing for almost 200 hours already, started new game plus 4 already and im just addicted to the game, and i even want to go back and play the other souls games too. never thought something so chaotically evil as this game could be so damn fun

Newbies to Souls Games here. Yeah, we kind of got addicted and think Elden Ring beats out a lot of games this year. Honestly looking into doing more Souls Games after we finish up Elden Ring. Since we are so new we need all the tips we can get.

For any new people who are considering buying this game and want their first playthrough to be somewhat less torturous: use shield and spear. Souls games have always rewarded using shield, and spears allow you to poke while still holding up the shield. It's not a "win thr game for free" card, but it helps.

This is my first souls game. I’m so sucked in it’s insane. In 20 years I havent been this addicted.

As someone who enjoys cock and ball torture, nearly everything fromsoft has dropped has been a must play for me. That being said I felt this one was the easiest, thanks to the freedom to bugger off and do other things, I ended up going through most the game with little issues. That being said I consider "Little issue" to be like below 15 attempts at a boss. I think the only reason I struggled towards the start was the fact that parry frames have been worked around in a way different way than I'm used to and I kept forgetting that counter attacks were a thing.

I never played a souls game and I thought it would be harder, not trying to boast my own ego here but I played other fighting games and elden ring seems like it has the simplest mechanics to learn. I’m only halfway through the game so, probably later on I hope it gets harder.

@@Embvu Pretty much, Soulsborne difficulty is better described as punishing (high damage received, sparse checkpoints, corpse runs) rather than mechanically difficult. There are a few mechanically difficult things here and there, like reliably learning how to parry, but it isn't really required to do good at the game. What those games tend to reward mostly boils down to observation (spatial awareness, enemy patterns, stamina management) and knowledge (of your available resources, of the mechanics) rather than the raw skill to pull off crazy stuff. Many action games with deeper and more complex combat systems like DMC or Bayo usually prioritize inputs, giving players the ability to cancel most animations to either chain another action or quickly recover from a mistake, while Soulsborne prioritize animations, punishing you for spamming inputs (they queue instead of overwrite) and generally asking you a more reasoned, less frantic approach to battles. In short, anyone can beat those games as long as they can keep their cool and actually take their time to figure out how stuff works.

This is my first souls game and ive just recently beat the magma wyrm blocking the atlus plateau I believe. At first the combat was incredibly difficult and I died so many times but it humbled me and I really learned to be patient with the game.

I have to say I joined the community back with DS1 and I am proud to be part of it even thou these games are considered extremely Hard the people here have always been the best you can always find someone to help out new players and seeing all these new bloods joining us in this new world I can't help but remember my first playthrew of DS1 all the struggles I went threw spending hours on a boss before finally overcoming it other players invading and killing me and just learning about the lore. I hope you new guys and girls get the same feeling I do and keep pushing forward because even if you fail 1000 times you can always get back up.

There is a selection in the first page of the system menu that let's you tell the game to change button prompts to mouse and keyboard. It's mind boggling how many people don't explore their technical menu's

this game will teach you skills for life, how to deal with challenges and frustration this will get you a better job in rl in the long run, it's basically a course that is provided upon you while playing the game

This is my very first From software game and I absolutely love it. I'm a big lore person and enjoy when a world is fleshed out and has history behind everything. Especially when you get to unravel it as you progress but don't get the full picture unless you pay attention. I knew of the soulsborne games and their notorious difficulty for a long while, but never decided to get into it. What brought me in this time was the open-world aspect. I liked the idea that you could experience the world entirely on your own, which meant I could piece together the story and lore at my own discretion. I'm level 90ish right now and feel like I haven't even gotten to some of the deeper intricacies of the story yet. I've had to rage quit a couple of times and let myself calm before returning, but I do end up coming back because it is exciting to find something new that I thought wasn't there. Overall, it's been an enjoyable experience and it's got me interested in exploring more Soulsborne games.

I mean...after demons' souls, every soulsborne game is open world. Even dark souls 2 is technically an open world.

If you decide to check out the other dark souls games and you like the lore you should check out Vaatividya's channel. Probably the best lore channel for dark souls. He'll be doing more elden ring stuff soon too.

Mouse and Keyboard is absolutely fine I just had to bind few things to Mouse4 and Mouse5 buttons. I even played my first playthrough with the default settings by not turning off Auto-Lock and Auto-Target and still it was okay. I think it would be much harder with Controller because the lack of easy free look so fighting large bosses and multiple enemies must be a bit more painful w/ controller.

i play on pc with kb and mouse and im having no issues, i did sit in the training cave for a bit until i got used to the kb controls.

Another thing I hope other game companies take notice of is that there are no microtransactions.

Only thing I hate about this is the no quest marks on the map. How hard is it to believe an npc can give you a quest and point out the area on your map.

Wolfheart, I'm 63 and have been playing games since before they invented difficulty levels. When every game came in one flavour. When PC's were made of wood and e-mail was delivered by a guy called Ernie through the mailbox. I forgotten many games I've played but Darksouls still lingers in my nightmares. So i think this is a must buy.

I have finally found a game that I can say,"this tops Chrono trigger for me" this is my new favorite game of all time.

Honestly we need to keep games like this around and promote games of this quality I’ve started dark souls 1 on my ps5 and while it makes me want to rip my dreads out over the ways I end up dying I acknowledge that the deaths are on me especially the bosses and that’s good because it pushes you to think outside the box and I hadn’t done that in a long time

Unless it’s fucking bed of chaos, I blame all my bed of chaos deaths on the shitty boss

I really do think that the game could have used a quest log... That is probably the only thing I would strongly suggest they do.

So, I was doing an early game farm in the first area (where the five giants are near the warmasters shack) and it turned (spoilers down below) not yet.... nighttime And freaking deathbird showed up. Figured out in the first two deaths it's not designed to be taken on in mounted combat, so I switched my build out, brought out the Godricks soldiers ashes, and kited it to where I could summon them. Easy take down after I think the 5th death? So yeah. If you don't learn from death, you won't enjoy the game. It's such a unique and rewarding experience.
