Had to re-upload to due to a number of editing/audio errors I missed. Should be fixed now. PC Gamer Interview: tinyurl.com/yex5c6zs #eldenring #fromsoftware #shadowoftheerdtree
Attention spans are different for everyone! I like to spell out the many reasons and supporting evidence behind "yeah if you want", because that's how arguments are constructed. Maybe next time consider listening to more than 20 seconds of the video before judging it's quality. Hope this helps :)
I think it's such a cool concept to have strangers working together in a game like this super rewarding to come back and people with a boss you struggled on too
I remember defending someone who likes to summon by telling this guy that. “Elden Ring isn’t darksouls it’s an open world RPG, you wouldn’t tell someone you’re supposed to play Monster Hunter just like DMC since they’re both action RPGs from the same developer team”
Typically I don't use summons and only use spirit ashes outside of bosses, but I use guides basically constantly and cheese the hell out of bosses with glitches or whatever else like it's nobody's business. In order to avoid feeling like a gigantic loser what I usually do is only read the enemy's name that drops [item, weapon, consumable, etc] and from there try and figure out where the guy might be. When I'm learning how to murder a boss via glitches I'll only look at the end of a guide in order to "set the scene" and get a general idea of what things should look like when I'm on the right track, from which point I'll try to recreate the glitch by brute force. With my method, I've only been able to successfully recreate Grayll's, the Night's Calvary in Caelid's, and the Nox boss' in the town of sorcery.
This video has been profoundly validating to my total experience with this game. If a friend didn’t tell me to use co-op after I took 3 months off, I never would have made it out of limgrave. And now I always leave the blue cipher item on and throw down a summon sign whenever I have the time, hoping I can help people along their own version of that journey. Thanks for putting things into perspective.
If im extremely tired with a boss, i sometimes summon a player. Immediately after the victory i just go and help a few times to give it back to others. Co-op is a blessed mechanic, dont be ashamed. Just help out someone else after!
elden ring to me as a new player is an art piece i don't care much to prove my own skill i want to chill and enjoy the beautiful world, enemies, bosses, armors, etc. i did beat margot first try yesterday but if i get stuck on a boss you bet your ass i'm going to search up best summon and i'm going bleed build already, i know if i wasted 1k hours of my life dying 1000's of times to learn all the attack patterns i could do whatever these elitists do.. but for what? i'm a very competitive gamer i basically only play competitive games but i don't see the part in elden ring where i have to try hard at all, if a boss is coming up i'm gonna get ready yes but it's just dying till you get a grasp of the attack patterns then getting a feel for the timing then either getting lucky or just out playing the patterns to me that's not that insane mechanically. I'm an osu player so i have a decent idea of what trying hard/perfectionism/never quitting is, i've also played semi pro in cod i understand that thing people talk about or mean when ''naked with club or no skill'' but it's not impressive it's literally just dying thousands of times..
I think any approaches are totally valid, as long as you don't try to instruct others on what is "intended" or "legitimate". I've done try hard runs and super casual ones. Pros and cons to each type! But I do agree that the community attitude around the topic could be much healthier and welcoming than it is.
Very well put assessment on why you shouldn’t care of what these “purists” think about summoning/asking for help. I appreciate the fact that you put the Miyazaki quotes in there to further prove your point. It’s always so odd to me how toxic the player base can get but that’s just crowd mentality I guess anyway I enjoyed the vid and I’m really excited for the DLC to drop on Friday so see you on the other side fellow tarnished 🫡
38 minutes to say "yeah if you want"
I’m glad the point came across clearly :)
@@Weird_B0nes Less is more, Bye. /stops 20 seconds in cause he just made your entire video pointless.

It's a super unique system that others have tried to replicate to varying success. Definitely not to be discounted.
Coop summons are fun. Spirit ashes make the experience somewhat future-proofnfor offline play

I'm very glad you got something meaningful out of my ramblings!

Not a single one of the people who shame others for summoning are actually good at these games lol
