I started Elden Ring Oct 2023. Never played on a PlayStation or used a game controller. So I bought one. I completed Ranni’s Quest early Feb 2024. Just completed Frenzied Flame ending, now started Fia’s Quest NG+3. To become Elden Lord. I have pre-ordered DLC and so excited about it. I have all the legendary talismans, weapons , sorceries and incantations etc. I am 63 in May this year and my grandson thinks I’m the greatest grandma ever! Come on gamers, for all of you who are struggling with Elden Ring… If I can do it anyone can.

Absolutely do not change the story telling. I love Lies Of P as well, but this formula Elden Ring uses has been its fundamentals through the whole Dark Souls franchise. If you want a story based souls like, they're plenty to play. However, there is only one Elden Ring, so lets not tamper with it.

I beat the game about a week ago and I’m honestly glad I have it a chance. Was really hard to get into at first but once i got into it and understood how you get better at the game and fully immerse myself in the lore it goes form a good game to a masterpiece

I'm glad you're giving this game a spotlight, it's truly a forgotten hidden gem.

I absolutely agree with you about spirit summons. They're in the game for a reason. If you don't want to use them. Don't. But Miyazaki said this was to get the most approachable Souls game. And, for a reason. They made it to appeal to both longtime players but new initiates...those seeking extremely hard challenges and those who want help. And there's crossover in all categories. It seems some people don't want Soul's games to be playable by those they describe as casuals. This is a ploy to keep Soul's games as niche games with the reputation of being too incredibly hard that only the best hard-core gamers are up to the challenge. So, they have a list of things they say "real gamers" would never do. Can't use magic. Can't cheese a boss off a cliff. Can't summon, spirit or otherwise. No farming...which isn't just for runes and levels but for items, so they can stuff it. No bleed builds. No tank builds. It would be better to get a list of what these "superior" players think is ok. Bottom line, this gatekeeping only exists to push people away and limit those playing the game to those they think are worthy. They call themselves pros and veterans and whatever. I'm longtime Soul's player, since 2009. I platinum my games and help others. I want more people playing. And if the game allows it and it's legitimate, then play you're way. Imagine missing out on the fun of summoning.

@Stuphy1147

I totally agree with your statement, and I want everyone to play souls games and not gatekeep it. That being said, using summons makes the game much less enjoyable and it seriously stunts skill growth, and even though I believe there's no wrong way to play this game and every way is very fun, being good at the game makes it way more fun

Meh, the gate keeping for the souls game you listed is absolutely real. But it's not as big as its made out to be. The people saying that stuff a small minority that are very vocal & meme comments from people who actually don't follow those rules. I didn't use summoning at all in my first playthrough. I used them in my second to try them, then didn't use them again. It's in the game, use it if you want. If someone complains about it, unless they were a lead game designer for Elden Ring (literally the most awarded game ever), then their opinions are just a standard dumb internet opinion.

I don't need to be hand fed the story. Elden Ring has been compelling to me for the past 2 years because of the way you have to piece together the lore to interpret the story. I don't think Fromsoftware needs to learn anything from Lies of P.

Very true indeed.

I think the brilliance of elden ring is that they made the game so appealing for souls veterans and new players. They kept the same souls DNA, added new mechanics and made it open world, and added an “easy mode” by allowing you to summon. They did such a great job of making a game to appeal to new and veteran players, and that’s a big reason why it did so well imo.

@kgfire247

It's this kind of opinion that made Dark Souls so unappealing to a lot of gamers. Summoning is certainly not 'easy mode' for most gamers, and to suggest so is nonsense. Elitist comments like this are what put most people off as it makes normal gamers feel inadequate in some way. No one should feel like they're resorting to easy mode when they're just using an intended game mechanic in an intentionally difficult game. FYI no one is impressed that you're too good at From Soft games to lower yourself to using summons

Sekiro tackles that well, there is a tangible storyline you can follow, but also layers and layers of lore you can add on.

I like to play games on "easy mode". I like rpgs and stories, but i get anxiety when i have to sweat through a game; an extreme challenge provides stress for me, not enjoyment. One thing i liked about Elden Ring is that I could virtually do whatever I wanted to level up and make bosses/areas easier. I put in at least 100 hours trying to cheese as much as I could. Died a lot, but wasnt put off the game, since I could just go do something else. I still wish there was an easy mode selector, but this was the next best thing.

Elden Ring was the first Soulslike game that I played and while I'll still remain a casual, I'll definitely check out Shadow of the Erdtree and From Software's future games. I want to relax, but it taught me that a good challenge is welcome from time to time, to spice things up.

Elden Ring made me pull out a honest to god physical journal to keep up with the quest and lore, and I won’t it have it any other way (I now have a leather bound journal for my Lands Between adventure, and it’s honestly pretty cool just by itself). Would I love to have a miniseries/movies/animated movies/novels accompanying the series in the future? Absolutely. But when I’m playing the game I’d like to put the puzzle together myself. I love lies of P as well, but that’s a different experience.

Ive been buying these games since i was a teenager and I really had no idea this many people were going to love elden ring Its just so crazy to me that the super small niche game demons souls that i got when i was 13 would evolve into something this massive its so cool :) UMBASA

Considering DLC releases in June now is a good time to be jumping back in’

Despite not having a single clue about the lore, even after watching lore videos, I think the style of story telling works very well in ER. Would I love to understand what’s going on? Sure! Would I change it? Nope

SWIM also knows what it feels like to have that crazy feeling when you can discover the game before the rest of the world thanks to the lovely gentlemen over at former YUZU.

Regardless of how you feel about the difficulty spikes and health issue, this game is badass and super epic, the bosses are intimidating, and the open world is gorgeous

What I love is they took that multiplayer Gameplay loop Souls fans love, and molded it into more of an in game system to manage rather than finding a certain spot and hoping other people meet up there to fight too.

If there is one thing I hate about FromSoft, it´s the elitist part of the community. use your summons. Bleed everything. Do what´s working for you. These games are about exploration and overcoming challenges. These guys would tell Gandalf to throw away his staff otherwise "skill issue". Just have fun!

Im thinking about replaying it again should i cause I'll have to start from lvl 0 again

13:53 - 14:25 Like Skyrim it always feels like you discovered something new. It was maliciously hard and beautiful at the same time

Please don't suggest FromSoft change how they approach story telling. We don't need more hand holding, spoon fed type games. We love their games for a reason and appreciate the open to interpretation nature of the game. Then we have awesome youtubers like VaatiVidya that can break down the story if we wanna look into it. Elden Ring is an absolute classic for a reason and the other games were also amazing, not really sure they need to change much. FromSoft goes their own route and I appreciate that a ton. We don't need them to start doing what other devs do all the damn time lol

This game will still be great when it's old enough to genuinely be a retro.

I have been looking at Elden Ring since it came out. Seen friends play it, but I never really been a souls like type of person. The only ones I really played were Life of P and BloodBorne and only got halfway. I've been thinking of trying it for my steam deck, but is it worth the money for someone new to the series. I know you die constantly, but is it harder than other souls' games for newcomers to the genre? I do like a challenge, tho.

The thing I love most about the souls games is that they're building a world and building up characters rather than a "first this happens then this happens" story. I love trying to decode the lore to figure out the big picture.

You should try Devil May Cry in 2024.

I prefer the story to be more obscure. Too many games these days force story down your throat or simply get too much in the way of playing the game.

My first souls game and I’m obsessed with it

Funny thing is, i never even knew what a dark souls or soulsborne game was. I had wanted to play bloodborne but when i had a ps4 i didnt grt a chance to play it. I mainly bought elden ring because of the fire trailer and because grrm was involved. Little did i know, i was about to have the greatest gaming experience in the world since my first time playing final fatasy 3 (6) about 30 years ago. I love the battle system, the give and take, chess like system of movements is bar none for me. Introduced me to a whole new genre i never knew existed

Elden Ring's one of if not the best game I've ever played as a decades long gamer and I admittedly have never been interested enough to delve deep in the lore or story. I think I like the mystery element to it all, it's like Aliens, you know F*** all about them in the first few films, but the more that's explained, the less interesting they become. Don't know if that analogy fits that well. Oh well.

I love Elden Ring... love all the soulsborne to be honest. But I made the jump to Ps5 so I needed to have acharacter ready for the DLC which -I did this past weeks. And I still found so much new stuff that I didnt found in my original playthrough. I stll wanna keep playing but have to tore myself from it in order to prevent a highr level character for the dlc. At level 120 for those who would like to know.

Elden Ring definitely has a special place in my heart and Iv never played any previous Souls games.

I loved lies of p ! I agree with you're points. But I also love how elden ring tells a story , I also loved sekiro story telling.. im fine with whatever the director decides to do. I trust fromsoftware.

Elden Ring was my first "souls" game. I usually play games for a great story and narrative. However, Elden Ring was absolutely something special, even though there wasn't a traditional story and narrative. This is an amazing game. I restarted a new character to get back my "muscle memory" to get ready for the Shadow of the Erd Tree expansion.

Honestly I don’t think a lot of elden ring holds up completely. It’s a good game but the game itself feels lackluster once the world is no longer mysterious and the bosses don’t feel like they hold the same level of satisfaction as past titles that I would get from say father Gascoigne, O&S, or abyss watchers. That said I have dlc preordered because it’ll be awesome and working on a character to take through the dlc since my first character is on ng+4

I remember playing in all the biomes and i thought wow this is what i expected from halo infinite

Not every game needs to be a game movie with "sToRY", Elden Ring is a gameplay focused game that puts what matters in the forefront.

I mean most places we go in are places where the Golden Order technically wants us to not know and understand

I wonder why they don't do a berserk game and the final boss is Femto, they don't have to stick to the story, just the characters and how apostles look, because the human touch in the apostles design of berserk is just amazing

Having not liked Dark Souls a decade ago, and not touched a FS game since, I've just started Elden Ring on Feb 2. I have 260 hours into it now.

Yeah, I had that OP sword of Flame and Stars before using a pure blood build. I farmed the ugly chicken for xp. I had fun, and that's hard to say about 88% of the games coming out now. I can say similar happy feelings about BG3 ❤.

Matty's over here trying to put VaatiVidya out of a job with that straightforward storytelling suggestion ;) Seriously though, I put like 350 hours into Elden Ring and finished the game 10 times in total on release (up to NG+7 and 2 fresh characters). I played on PC the first time round, but iv decided to switch to PS5 for Shadow of the Erdtree, so I'm getting the Platinum/100% on my second platform now. What an incredible game. I've played all of the FromSoftware souls games, including BB and Sekiro, but Elden Ring is definitely my favourite when it comes to relaxing and doing a quick boss run.

I'll say one thing, Mimic is basically not being good at the game HOWEVER, this is FromSofts way of introducing an "easy" difficulty option via the games mechanics. Its the same bosses with the same stats and attack patterns(besides nerfs and buffs). Everyone had to beat the enemies to clear the game

Dude screwed himself out of the prawn buffs lmao

Elden Ring changed me as a gamer. I used to think i was incapable of playing these types of games. "I dont have the patience for games that punish me constantly!" But actually, I really do. I don't have time for games that unfairly punish me. Elden Ring taught me to learn patterns and systems and to take my time. I loved it so much ive played it 5 times now. And I'm 15 hours into Bloodborne and im loving that too. Because of ER i just understand what's expected of me. I get it. And i love how Fromsoft make games. ER deserves to have sold 50m copies. 20m just doesn't sound enough. What's wrong with people!? 😂

From soft worlds are always a story. It's just more archaeological in nature because you need to figure that story out. Dark Souls especially is very good with this. Every Pebble every statue every piece of loot is placed purposefully to show the story for those that are able to discover it

I wish I played Elden Ring before Sekiro. Not having the perfect parry mechanic with any weapon I want to use really ruined my experience. I hate dodge rolling combat compared to perfect parry combat. And no, using a shield in Elden to parry isn't even close to the parry in Sekiro. I want to parry using my sword without a shield bash delay.

Plz do a retrospective of the Original dark souls definitely still holds up today

I absolutely will in June to celebrate Shadow Of The Erdtree :)

Shout out to Elden ring bought pretty much all the souls games but never made it past the first boss in most. After completing Elden I’ve done it in reverse order more or less

It was the first souls like I put more than a couple hours into, And honestly Elden Ring is a perfect game, easily in my top 5 of all time

I wish I could wipe my memory and play the game fresh too.

Yes sir 🔥

seriously amazing game and is a blessing to gaming ❤😊

i still really hope they take the best of Elden Ring and put it into a Dark Souls game.

I remember after leaving stormveil castle and I almost reached the swamp and saw everything else at the vista. I lost my mind. It was magical and you can have crazy build. Its a top 5 game for me
