Yep, I agree. It’s changed the way I’m playing Horizon forbidden west. I usually play open world games by opening the map, picking a destination, then fast traveling as close as possible and sprinting straight to it.

Especially with that selling point of videos that aren't 6 minutes long or videos that aren't 2 minutes long or whatever the length is, I think I've heard both LOL.. and a point to be had for sure when up against the major publications it seems LOL, but definitely appreciating having more meat on the bones as of recently.. I kind of don't even process videos that are under 15 in review content, actually don't even really process many videos that are under 20 for anything I'm looking at but that's me, and mostly what I'm looking at LOL.. man I wish this developer would figure out what contrast is though, it really is holding back their visuals.

@@tainor89 I really wish people would let the "add an easy option" argument die in a fire. It's such a ridiculous and limited perspective on the subject. There's lots of other ways to increase the accessibility of a game for those that lack the skill and time, including adding the ability to choose different, easier to manage and less risky playstyles, giving them the ability to grind their levels up before difficult encounters, giving p[layers the option to get assistance with battles and areas from other players, friends, and AI controlled summons and companions, and making much of the tougher content optional and not integral to the main story. All of which FromSoft has done for their recent titles, and to an even greater degree in this one. Go watch the SkillUp review, he's a "casual souls fan" and is still one shotting the majority of the bosses in this game because he's taking advantage of these systems to decrease the difficulty of the experience.

The focus you bring to your reviews is top-notch: specific, nuanced, clear, and yet with humor to balance pointed criticism. I've been jumping from Elden Ring review to Elden Ring review, and yours is the most informative by far. You're not merely hammering home your opinion expecting the nodding masses to agree; you're informing the viewer, treating each as a discerning individual seeking an informed choice of what to play and what to buy. I respect the habitual respect you show in your work. Bravo.

Hey, ACG. I loved the depth of this review. I agreed with the majority of what you said, though there was something I wanted to point out. You mentioned the game not giving you any sort of indication as to whether or not you've visited a location, need to return to a location, etc. This isn't actually an issue because the map allows you to place several different types of markers, allowing you to annotate your map. I use these to mark bosses I still need to fight, puzzles I've yet to solve, good areas to grind souls, etc.

Another weird thing... Elden ring has a ''RayTracingQuality'' setting in its Graphics config file, which is standard set to ''low-mid-high-ultra'' dependin on what baseline you've chosen. Another weird thing is that my PC seems to run the game itself fine 1440p high (3700x, 16gb ram, 3060ti) at 60fps, outside of the weird stutters in the overworld when traversing, mostly.

I had a few light fall in my life.....gotta love mountains

The reviews have amazed me. No need to apologize for the 30 min video, the longer the better (heh) love your content keep it up man

Crazy how you can power thru the depths, breadth, and stress of Horizon + Elden and still write fantastic witty reviews of proper detail and length. What a champ

As always, what a freakin awesome review - on point, covers all angles and does it well, damn, you`re good a this! Would you say this one does better than the other FS in making a range/magical build truly viable ? Sorcery/Prayers were a massive disappointment in DS3.

If anybody else has that issue of not seeing the KB+M prompts while playing with one, there is a separate toggle in the menu to set it manually to KB+M. Did it before my first run and it has worked wonderfully so far.

I’ve been watching for years, I hope you can hit 1M this year!

I was really hoping because the developers were flaunting GRRM that this would perhaps have a deep story. But if it did, ACG would have said something a little more about it. For someone whose main turn off from DS is the lack of constant narrative, I may as well take this as "It's Dark Souls... but big." Shouldn't have expected otherwise. Guess I'm stuck with Nioh (which isn't even FS) and Sekiro. Note: I LOVE DS gameplay. But I'm sorry. I DO get bored of games with very few cutscenes.

@@lollyguy1266 'Spoon-fed' is a bad word for what I think they're describing. I think they're more referring to the ability to play a game and be pulled into an active narrative. If I were to make a guess, it sounds like it would be like Red Dead Redemption 2 versus Dark Souls. Red Dead has a clearly defined story and the world has lore sprinkled around that you can find if you so choose, while Dark Souls has a story that is more shrouded in mystery where the lore you must (in many cases) actively look for is very important to filling in the blanks. Both are great games and provide satisfaction to the player when they experience it, but they go about it in very different ways.

Weird take ngl but respectable

Thx for a honest review. Most reviews I see just give it a 10/10 and doesnt mention any negatives

That tree at 19:25 is vibing so hard

Elden ring went from a joint game between GRRM with no release date for months (much like his winds of winter) to out before BoTW 2 which were both announced like 3 years ago.... Went from almost no news at all to full release... Still no news on the other one.

First game I pre-ordered in years. Saw SkillUp's review and took advantage of his GMG discount code..ngl felt a little dirty for doing it....but its out tomorrow and I knew I was gonna buy it, so I figured I may as well preload it...Elden Ring looks like it could supplant Skyrim as the standard by which all others are measured...although I doubt it will ever come close to replacing Skyrim as king of the re-release....

This is all I’ve been waiting for to listen to on my 30 min drive home from work. So pumped already preloaded on the box

You earned my sub you g explained really by and straight to the points 🔥🔥

All souls games have their issues, I don't think anyone was expecting a completely flawless experience if you're familiar with fromsoft games. Looking forward to playing it tomorrow!

Yeah I'd agree...I think ALOT are seeing it as the next coming. I personally am not looking forward to this tbh, but it's coming rn thru gamefly...so I'm gunna give it at least a fair shake. Never enjoyed soulsborne games...but still at least try each one.

Skipped right to the last 5 min, closed my eyes, and you said everything I needed to know. It sounds like I will not regret my pre-purchase. Thank you!
