"you're naked. Here's a stick, go kill God."
IM DEAD
YOU DIED
Holy shit it's the acting male
Hey Act Man! Can't wait for your "Why is Elden Ring a MASTERPIECE" video
He said that just moments after reading this. 😆
YES
"You're not bad, you're just starting" Such an important thing to tell everyone starting out in Soulsborne games
In life in general
@@TheREALHugo4 Insightful for someone who admits to never playing them. A baseless opinion is a worthless one.
That should be common honestly. How can some veteran/elitist idiots be there like *you are bad/noob* when they're just beginning the damn game?! Instead of some help you get this Load .
@@TheREALHugo4 I work in the Marine Corps, I'm married, I play Elden Ring in addition to Lost Ark, mobile games and other games that demand a lot of my time and I beat this game twice already with 2 separate characters. You can do it too my guy
@@TheREALHugo4 Bitchless + fatherless + no one cares
Hidetaka Miyazaki : you’re naked. Here’s a stick. Go kill god.
Hideo Kojima: you’re naked. Here’s a backpack. Deliver us from evil.
Japanese game directors really like making us do stuff naked
Hideki Kamiya: Fuck off. * blocked *
I am praying for these two Directors to work on a game together. They are so opposed sometimes but are two of my fav game directors
@@danielcharles3553 I would love that. Of course, I say that knowing we'd never have a damn clue what the game is about. Separately their games are cryptic. Together? Your brain would melt.
Imagine if they made a game together it’d be beyond god tier
Even Miyazaki hates players who tell others how to play as he said "its about the player making their own experience"
When Joe said "don't feel bad. You're not bad at the game, you just started." I feel that; I have to tell so many people that.
There's far too much gatekeeping in elden ring
@@TheREALHugo4 good for you lol why comment 🤣
@@TheREALHugo4 😂😂 fair enough fam
Why is it garbage?
@@daltonpalmerj he is an Ubisoft and Horizon fanboy - he is salty that a game like Elden Ring became the better open world game compared to Horizon and Ubisoft games.
Maidenless Joe.
Happy to see your first Souls game review.
O snap it’s the feminist beater!!!! Lol really enjoy watching ur boss vids with no commentary as well.
Shirrako x AngryJoeShow crossover when?
I loved your Malenia video, I still can't beat her but I have high hopes. XD
@@Shocknfunk get help.
Hello, based department?
The greatest thing about this game is it's a solid proof that good games are extremely good for business. I mean it broke sales records within weeks of release. And it only cost $49.99 for the standard edition. But you still got a bunch of cool art pictures and stickers and other stuff with it. I'm 80 hours in, and I still got a lot to go... everytime I'm playing it I just can't fathom how I only paid 50 bucks this...
Hopefully EA and Ubisoft, and all these other greedy video game companies will finally realize that you can make a genuinely good game and make tons of money at the same time. No need for micro transactions, abusing the playerbases, really high retail prices, pay2win crap, etc. Just make a great game and people will throw their money at you.
@Captain Torrent sweden. Most new games around here cost $60 some $70. But ER was $50 at release, even though it is easily worth $100. Insane.
It’s proof for sure but EA is making millions if not billions from copy and pasting sports games and giving it a new title every year, it’ll most likely keep going sadly until people stop buying their games.
@Captain Torrent Australia most new releases are sold at 60 or 70 dollars. Without preorder
@Stacey Bowtell Mine works fine on my laptop. Don't play it on a keyboard. Trust me.
But then they would have to put in effort and create interesting gameplay loops.. which takes a piloshophical take beyond greed is good.
So happy to see it finally clicked for Joe. He gets what makes these games so special. Great review. Delighted to see it get 10/10. 👍🏻
Ý
Alex's reaction...classic. ^_^ (37:38)
Bought the game yesterday. Started as a wretch. 10 hours in , 73 deaths. Level 28. Still don't know what I'm doing .
@@ringadingbaby4332 that's the souls life
Best decision Joe made was to play the game alone, not on livestream. Because souls players can be very elitist and backseat gaming, it'll suck all the fun out of the game.
I love that when you see other players walking around in different armors sets with different weapons and you think "I can earn that". Just the fact that I don't have to wonder what pack it came in, and that is included in the base game is such a breath of fresh air it's almost depressing thinking about how gamers are used to being nickel and dimed for every skin.
This.
A lot of single player games do this, stop playing multiplayer games or play better ones. This myth is just so pervasive and partially true, but people choose to play the games that have these problems, even when the games themselves announce it. You are doing it to yourself.
@@Bound4Earth Except this game has a fleshed out (albeit horribly balanced) multiplayer system. It can be considered a multiplayer game, and yet it has this level of quality and doesn't nickel and dime us for trying to play in the multiplayer section of the game. I know we've reached the point of multiplayer games having all of these pervasive issues, but it's just not acceptable, and we should be praising games that refuse to do this and actually allow character customization at no additional cost.
@@Bound4Earth I'd love you to name an example for that claim :D I bought Tales of Arise last year, loved it but like 75% of costumes are DLC. Really disheartening
@@Bound4Earth the problem is that most of the franchises that have microtransactions didn't always used to have them. It creeps slowly into all your favorite games, slowly and patiently. Nothing is safe anymore, except maybe fromsoft and a small handful of others
As a souls player, I love the fact so many people are having fun with this game. Don't let the minority of players bully you into playing the way they think it's meant to be played. Believe me, a win is a win no matter how you get it
I mean technically. You could always just lie about winning too.
Ditto dude!!!
I’m a new player to this genre and damn!!! I friggin love this game!!!!!
Beat radahn in 3 tries………with my faith build!
@@Salacious_T lying about winning is like lying about losing your viginity. people are going to see through your lies
If it's in the game I will try using it, even if it means stealth poisoning a falling star beast
Not to mention it makes the whole fan base seem like assholes. I hate people like that. Variety and different ways to play invites new people to the series which is awesome
Jeo : "The whole world doesn't give a fuck about you."
Thats what makes Elden ring different than anything else.
Joe spoke my mind. 😁😁👍👍
"Oh, you thought you could cheat and get to the Erdtree for free? Nah, here's a literal hell volcano and 2 iron maidens of death."
This game was most definitely one of the best experiences I have had in a long loong time of gaming. I cannot wait to see what comes next from the creators!
The last step and dying was too real 🤣 1ft drops that randomly delete your health bad 😭
Game looks boring and vastly too hard
@@voluntarism335 Skill issues lmao
I mean almost every Fromsoft games for the past 10 years has been amazing XD
A game that makes me want to complete everything/ see what's everything that's there to see/ collect everything is a sign of a top notch game.
@@minthantswe8552
I laughed hard when he was sitting on his horse, talking to his chat,and a horse rider comes up and wacks him.
Do not AFK in a souls game.
That was a nice reminder.
Unless you've cleared a section already.
That shit was on sight XD
I went afk outside redmane castle like two days ago. Id just beaten those two big wolves, theres no enemies at ALL outside the castle, i decide to go make some food and come back after like 15 mins and see one of those damn mud piles kill me as im grabbing the controller. Im like wtf!
@@Stunsify bro I swear it always happens just in time for me to see but not prevent it lol
What's AFK?
I think Elden Ring actually being a complete product is enough to warrant Game of the Year.
Though knowing mainstream gaming media, Horizon Forbidden West will win it instead of Elden Ring. Though hopefully it has more of a chance than Ghost of Tsushima. 😔
@@BadGuy_Bigby1217 Lmao chill they aren't that deluded
Even if the game finished after beating radahn it would still be game of the year
@@BadGuy_Bigby1217 Sekiro won goty, this is way better than that game. If it doesn't win, there's no hope
@@thegaminghydra592 You sure? The game developers complaining about this game say otherwise. 👀
“It’s like your playing your own story” those first few months of elden ring was such a vibe, discussing discovery’s with my friends that played felt like a whole added experience that hasn’t been around since pre internet days
the entire globe just couldnt shut up about it, hell i actually have neurologist friends that havent touched a game in over a decade get back to gaming because of elden ring, so many friends of mine that never touched a souls game joined in on the fun! this game is just magical, easily the best fromsoft game and one of, if not my favorite game of all time...god the sense of discovery and exploration in this game is completely unmatched by any other game in history, well to me atleast.
It's crazy in the first month people were going far into the game struggling while I was exploring limgrave and caelid first so when I fought morgott I demolished him in one try
@@flamingmanurethis and skyrim to me
In regards to looking things up online for elden ring...I think that's part of what makes the community so great. I could always find an answer whenever I was stuck or lost. I've also met several new friends who were willing to help me fight a boss here or there. I think the game is a lot more fun when you have such a dedicated community of players willing to help each other reach the end game.
seriously, so many souls veterans really ruin it for others by basically demanding that everyone goes in 100% blind till the credits roll, then they bitch about game difficulty and balance and whatnot lol.
@flamingmanure truly. I nearly quit this game, as I had never played a game like this before. I was lost and totally overwhelmed. I used a guide to get going, then to make sure I had not missed anything in areas where I worked ahead.
Is it the same as going in blind? Of course not. Did it allow me to enjoy what became my favorite game of all time instead of quitting? Yes.
@@drewbydoobydoo2918 personally i think going in blind if youre familiar with these games is the way to go. I only looked things up when i was stuck.
Anyone else happy to see alex happy? Like a genuine smile on is face and hearing him sounding nostalgic about gaming again is just so great.
When Alex is happy u know it’s a good game
Yeah considering he’s always pissy and displeased during a majority of any review this is a nice change of pace, goes to show how good the game is lol
miyazaki: .......we got him
@@narusora1 I feel Alex though when he's like that. I come from the same Era of gaming as Alex, Joe and OJ. Back when studios and devs HAD to come out swinging if they wanted success. We had limited money as kids for games back then so a game had to be able to hold my attention for months, and the amount of content mattered to me a lot. We only get 4 or 5 games tops now a days that even come close to hitting that type of love and care anymore. My little cousins are so used to how games are now when I talk about gaming and the amount of content I got as kid they look at me crazy. Sorry for the rant, I just miss when most devs and studios actually put love and care into their games. I feel like indie games are really holding it down in that regard though. My brother and I play more indie games now than AAA. And they're cheaper which boggles my fucking mind. Lol
Reading this comment while he's cussing and screaming at the game lmao
It's a COMPLETE GAME. No micro transactions no releasing it in parts or any money grubbing bullshit. I paid for the game and I have the whole game. I cannot agree with you more on this. More devs should take this to heart.
If gamers were smart they would stop buying and playing games with micro transactions, lootboxes, NFTs etc. because that would cause a major video game crash and force devs to stop making rushed garbage and stop using predatory practices.
Players just don't realize how much power they have. But in some cases, it's also that the fans of a game become attached to an IP so much that they just end up tolerating every malpractice. These days fandoms often become cults and Souls games aren't an exception. Thankfully Fromsoft cares but they could literally get away with anything at this point and souls fans would accept it. We all know it.
That's why I'm afraid of FF7R part 2 having NFTs because I know for a fact FF players will not reject the game because of NFTs. Obviously they want to play part 2 and part 3 no matter what. So it gives SquareEnix an excuse / opportunity to milk FF7 players and get away with it.
I actually can't wait for DLCs to this! And I haven't even finished my first run. I want more already!! x3
It is not really "complete". It is clear that From Software is going to do something more with all those coliseums... and there are some relatively empty areas that might be reused in future DLC. But I see what you mean. If this is all that we get, it is (way) more than enough.
complete games are better and preferred
though genshin is still a fantastic game, the weapon banner is just awful/predatory
And I’d be willing to bet that if FromSoft does end up releasing DLC, it’s going to be packed with content and you’re going to get a fantastic experience for your money. Bloodborne’s DLC is the best single player DLC I’ve ever played.
I have only played as a mage build and I love seeing the spirits of other builds battling challenging bosses. I think to myself “I wonder what strategy they developed for beating this boss.” It’s so cool to know that they have completely different tools in their arsenal yet they are progressing as well. There is so much content I honestly feel like giving more money to the creators to encourage this type of game design. It’s been far too long since I’ve had to deal with unfinished games and pay to win. Absolute masterpiece 10/10 legendary game.
Why would you need to encourage them to do that more considering the devs have been doing that since 2009 with Demon's souls?
@@V-Jes Good keep it coming fromsoftware
My strategy was bleed everything until it dies
via blood loss builds 😅
Personally I fucking became Batman utility belt full of random bullshit , a crossbow(and/or bow ) for extra status capability and a simple longsword +25 holy and a +25 ceastus fire art flame catch
Also a 40/40/40 split of int , arcane and faith by those powers combined you can do anything and go anywhere and have the tools you need to exploit weakness
You and everyone else are using walkthroughs and guides. Don't pretend you're elite gamers lol
A 10/10 with a badass seal of approval 😮
LMAO. Mittens just casually walking away after seeing Joe die 😂 But in all honestly glad to see Joe loving his first souls like experience. Loved every minute of this game!
Just like every souls boss. Kills you and walks away
Game of the year my ass this is a piece of garbage overhype crap 🗑️💩👎 and I totally disagree with you Joe if you don't never playd this tipe of game you should never touch this crap it's gonna frustrate you and you never enjoy it 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 👎👎👎👎👎
“This MF-er is being stupid. I’m a puke a furball on his pillow to show him what I think of him wasting my time.” ~ Mi’ens
it's not his first he just couldn't finsh the others so he couldn't review them, he's talked about it in other videos
@@testoftimegaming5219 jeez dude way to take the air outta a dudes sails who's just happy joes playing a souls like game lmao, that's why u have 3 likes and he has over 500 😂
"Don't say you're bad you just started." That supporitve comment from OJ is such an important thing to take to heart when you're playing the game and the kind of support you should give someone playing this game.
honestly every person who started elden ring as their first souls game need to hear that
death is not mean you're bad at this games death is the core gameplay mechanic in elden ring
This applies to other fields in life as well.
Every Souls game is like that though lol. It gets easier the further you get.
Remember folks getting gud is about actually continuing to play the game and looking for new ways to overcome the challenge before you instead of giving up and writing a review about how the game is trash or something like that
I remember the first time i played DS3.. literally got my ass handed to me by gundyr for an hour straight lol. Its all about patience and perserverance, and the reward for your effort is so satisfying
You already know its a good game, when angry joe aint angry
Instant classic for me. All the locations, enemies, OST and bosses are so memorable.. Truly a masterpiece.
"You're naked, here's a stick, go kill god" Dammit Alex, that's the simplest yet most perfect description of the game! xD
More like "Heres a twig, now go kill Gods" 😆
Oh You can do that when you pick wrench that was fun
Sounds like something Dunkey would say
Ongbal with his frosty stick coming in the with clutch
That sounds like something a JRPG fan would say.
I'm 39 and thought maybe I had just outgrown gaming. Disappointment led to cynicism over the years. Then came Elden Ring. I feel like a kid again and very much still in love with gaming again. It's a Masterpiece.
Years of shitty games will do that to a man
Welcome to the FromSoft fans community. Cheers!
Iam 36, and you right, this game made me feel like a kid again! its a rare gem this one!
32 and I agree.
Though I would like to add that indie games are still everything that made me fall in love with gaming 25 years ago. They are still pure, they still push the boundaries of what is possible. I was having a ton of fun playing Everspace and Hollow Knight, both stellar indie games, just before Elden Ring came out.
So yeah, gaming as a whole is still doing great, you just have to look in the right places. Whenever I hear triple AAA publishers pushing out a game again, I roll my eyes and suppress the urge to vomit.
You should try demons souls, the dark souls games and bloodborne they’re even better.
I love how Joe and his friends are just varying stages of eachother.
This is Joe, this is Joe without facial hair, this is Joe stacked, etc.
I like to dual wield battle axes with a shield off hand for when things get tough. It's a fun way to play when you get used to it. I started Wretch and that's how things turned out. The best trick for playing this build is learn to rely on dodges specifically towards the front sides of the enemy's. The I frames will carry you threw the attack and you'll be lined up to strike.
I love the Rush I get overcoming an enemy that's killed me many times.
You should do a run through of dark souls.
I used to play magic builds my first runs. But after beating sekiro my confidence with these games is great.
Somehow I beat the Godskin Duo on first try after accidentally entering the room with barely any crimson tears leftover.
Godskin Duo is an easy boss I don't know why everyone is complaining about it.
true
i guess theyre rushing the game, my painstaking beginnings learning masocores was to dodge towards their side @@stygian5309
I died at the "I would have a baby the manliest way." Glad to see Joe and Joe and Alex are still killing it!
Yes that bit cracked me up lmao. “Git gud” at giving birth.
To be fair the birthing debate is a real thing which makes it funnier to me haha
Tru and for a very long time I remember watching these guys in hs I’m 24 now still here strong 💪
That opening cutaway with Angry Joe suffering a lot of Deaths was quite funny.
That lego bit had me ballin'
I thought it was their worst sketch to date. But to each their own I guess
@@knight-mares agreed
@@knight-mares their skits have gone extremely downhill, last good one was cyberpunk
@@knight-mares you must go to lots of parties
I love that Mittens killed it's owner and just casually walked away like nothing happened.
Base games like this make me want to support the developers more. They have managed to make a game I feel is completely worth $60, I feel happy with what I paid for. I can get so much out of the base game alone that when/if they drop DLC for it, I am more than happy to pay for it to expand more on such a great game. Is it hard? Yes of course it can be. At the same time if you put the time into learning the game, doing some research on the game, practicing the game. Then, not only do you feel like you as the player has progressed but you also make it easier on yourself. Games like this give me at least some hope for the future of gaming. 10/10
@@AnmolMishra946 Rdr2 sales have been over the course of 5 years, both games sold about the same amount their first year. Nice try though bud

Awesome review.✌️
lmao that intro cracked me up, opening the game for the first time YOU DIED
Fatality!
ill step on legos all day before I step on jacks again.
"You didnt beat the game naked with a ham sandich" had me falling over laughing
When realising that game is literary beaten with banana, wheel, violin and etc. :D
I am only waiting now for rabbit on dance pad like Bloodborne show us
Not only was the game near perfect, but FromSoft should be applauded for delivering a masterpiece quality game during a time when devs are allowed to shovel half baked doodoo as AAA games.
I’m so proud of them and appreciate all their hard work, esp Miyazaki.
my favorite part is the cats reaction to you pretending to die lol
what i really loved about this game is that even though 4 of my friends and myself started playing at the same time and have beat it. everytime we talked about it, its like we were playing different freaking games.
I have this exact same feel with my brother, its like 2 entirely separate games with all the random shit we trip across
Now hold up. I've been told you can't have difficulty options because then people would experience the game differently and that would be terrible. And now you're telling me this is part of the default experience.
@@GunPotato87 experience can turn into a whole different concept if you talk about Game difficulty vs Player's personal choices to progress on the game.
Another game difficulty only changes the requirements for the learning curves each one needs to take to overcome "something", either be easier or harder difficulty.
Players personal choices within the gameplay(and games content) change THAT "something" and splits every player's paths into very unique scenarios, where they experience different needs, struggles or growth.
@@GunPotato87 Also, i consider every Dark Souls game already has a difficulty option in each one of their titlea already and that is NG+.
It is avaliable after beating the game and makes everything harder, wich is fair considering the option is only avaliable until you already beat the game.
@@ElJags NG+ is legitimately the easiest run. Even with enemies scaled up a little you're overpowered vs NG. Only starts to balance out around NG+2,3 depending on how far you continue to level. The difficulty is in the method/playstyle. Ranged spells for the most part are easier than melee, summons exist to split boss aggro yada yada
As a souls vet... anyone who says your playing wrong, they arnt one of us. Everyone is welcome, and we will help everyone.
I love this game I'll play the game the way I want to If I wanna use a summon to beat the pumpkin head guy when I'm getting chased by him and like 30 other knight based characters who trying to take my head off
Well, there is some merit to it. Summons are a nice clutch to get you accustomed with the genre, but you just don't get the full experience. It's not a bad thing to play with summons, but you have to aim higher. When you're comfortable doing that.
True I just hate people who brag that are level 200+ using a mimic tear and online friend summons while using the most op weapon that has crazy power and range that they easily beat malenia or margit in one go
@@Dragobrath first play through was learning the game cheesing summons and hoarfrost stomp second play through summons with bloodhound fang and two more play through were no summon random weapons
Wrong
Great review. Took me over 350 hours to beat this (including all quest lines).. first 150 I didn't cheat and use youtube for help, so I was wandering around and dying way too much. Still 6 months after completing it, I still like hearing other peoples reviews of Elden Ring. It is a masterpiece !!!
20:25 "You're naked, here's a stick, go kill God."
Never have I heard a quote describe Fromsoft games so well lol.
Elden Ring came out so complete. It reminds me of the good old days when games were released ONLY when they were complete because updates didn’t exist, on a cartridge or on a disk and they were a work of art that developers were proud of.
Every dark souls has come out like this, it may be a little rocky but it's still a COMPLETE and playable game. Even dark souls 2 the black sheep was great at launch. Only terrible one was dark souls 1 for PC, and it took the community like a week to fix it. Honestly feel like fromsoft is one of the last genuine game devs here for the players and not for cash money.
Great comment and so true.
Symphony of the night was a huge influence on Dark souls. Miyazaki brings the old school way to us in a modern setting and it's amazing.
Oh yeah, optimised like dogshit on the pc. What a complete game lmao.
@@MrGhostTheBigRoast Maybe at the beginning, but if any other company ported this to PC it would have been completely unplayable. Be happy that it was available on PC this time around, making it available for so many players...
i like how joe called it an awakening lol its crazy how good it feels the first time the souls series "clicks" with you in your mind, all the fear and nervousness just melts away and your mind finally relaxes so you can finally start to enjoy the experience, and then.............. you're hooked for life lol. nice review guys
Great description
Yes!! That’s exactly how it was for me with Bloodborne. It was my first Souls game that I completed, and it had that early onset creepiness factor to it, not just from the aesthetic but from knowing that it’s going to be a difficult game… And like you said, once it clicks, everything that was holding you back or making you tense up melts away.
cringe, real chads dont have fear or nervousness, just perfection in everything
Blight town scared me for life! Anything I play souls game swamp ahead? Yea fuck that shit! Then this game decides swamp isn’t so bad sewers aren’t that bad let’s add fuckin rot! These mfers know how to give a man ptsd!!!
he should try the old soul games now see what he thinks now
GOTY...GOTD...GOAT...Thank you From Software, I can die in peace now lol.
This game is a true masterpiece. This game has everything unique bosses, great weapons, massive areas to explore, secret hidden pathways, a weapon what's a literal finger, warp portals two different regions across the map. Hell you can just walk around and find something in the world. Game of the got damn year.
Amen!!!
Language.
I disagree with your last comment. I think you meant game of the Malenia…er, millenia
No please stop it isnt
……
"You're naked, here's a stick, go kill God."
That was worth more than it got.
Amen
I think I've heard it before but it's still good
I love the fact that they went from "Lets turn on our critic brain" then makes one good arguement and then straight back to gushing about the boss designs and level designs, so good
literally noticed that too xD
And after that he still "wanted to give the game a 9 cause it deserved it" Joe can't admit to himself that he just played one of the greatest games in all of history. Glad he went with his better judgment.
@@12thMan09 The game has major repetition issues. With copy paste areas/enemies/bosses. You like this this boss? Well heres him 6 more times, also he's a normal enemy now. Definitely not one of the best games of all time, not even better then any of the dark souls games except maybe 2. The open world hurt this game bad. But the main progression areas are amazing, some of the best I've ever experienced in any game
@@12thMan09 nah this game while great has some serious issues.
That hurt the total package.
And some obnoxious design choices that only exist because "lol look at how hard the game is"
@@mattcubed9658 Its easily better then Dark Souls 1, 2 or 3. For me. Its a matter of preference but the Open World format was the right decision. They now just need to learn to fill it without reusing assets so much :D
this game alone taught me how much of an impatient bastard I truly am. 10/10
As an athlete I get it; it’s perseverance thru the lens of a video game. They’re teaching you “wax on wax off” and it feels like you’re being trolled then you get your first parry and riposte and it’s like “oh that’s what you meant”😳 I’d imagine a Viking feels this way after their first battle won.
You can get 100+ hours in it, came out complete, no micro transactions, a literal sense of pride and accomplishment as you progress, massive open world with stuff to do in it, more than one way to play, multiple endings, a lot of loot and secrets to find, epic boss fights etc….it’s a 10/10
I'm 100+ Hours and just barely starting the 3RD Area.
I'm at 250 and I have not beaten the game yet... Surprisingly a lot of my time was not wasted grinding or anything that's just Content
And the PvP is fun once you figured out how it works
Isn’t it crazy how we’re happy for a game to just be complete on release due to all the recent releases fucking everything up
I'm only 35 hours in and If I were to stop playing right now I would have still have gotten my money's worth.
This review was just adorable.
Lately all we see is our boys getting pissed and disappointed at how garbage games have become, constantly trying to grab all our money....
In this review however they are all describing how they had fun, simply as that.
So accurate. That's why j love comment section
So true. And understandable. I haven't even beaten my first run, and I've already placed this on the Game of the Year pedestal. There is no other that can beat this right now. And seeing and hearing them speak so highly of this, I can only whole heartily agree on every term :D
that's cause they've been playin shit games instead of jrpg's which are the cream of the crop for video games honestly

This game does what so many others fail at, and it’s the “fun” factor. Side a game can have content that stretches on forever, but that doesn’t matter if it’s not at least “fun”. The only few games (that I know of) that have truly mastered this are red dead 2, bloodborne, ghost of Tsushima, god of war 2018, dark souls (1,2,3) and you guessed it elden ring. Elden ring truly is up there some of the best games ever made(At least in the open world category). I really do implore anyone to play this game, it truly is worth that 60$ price tag.
I would add in Doom Eternal to that list

git-gud people are the most vocal and that makes them look numerous, but make no mistake, they're actually a very tiny fraction of the Dark Souls player base.
Releasing a full game with 0 micro transactions with only minor performance issues in 2021/22 already makes a game deserving of at least a 7. Now when you release a game with a huge open world filled to the brim with content, amazing boss fights, a great story, amazing level design, variety, no right way to play, replay-ability, amazing attention to detail, multiple endings, your decision mattering in quests, etc. the game deserves a 10 and fromsoft deserves to be praised for the masterpiece they gave us.
Fromsoft is perfecting the formula for its genre and continues to improve greatly with each game the release. From the souls to the bloodbornes to the sekiros to the elden rings, fromsoft just continues to release absolute amazing games that are actually for gamers and not the shareholders pockets.
Minor performamce issues?😂 the games still broken in many ways even with the many fixes theyve released

Love the review and I completely share your thoughts and reactions to the game. I am 54 years old and have been playing games since the early 80’s. There have been games over the years that have captured my imagination, sucked me into their world and helped me suspend disbelief with wonder and true excitement for what’s around the next corner. On my list of games that have done that for me over the years are Zork; the Ultima series, particularly Ultima VII; Baldurs Gate; Doom; Diablo. Elden Ring brought back that excitement for a video game that I haven’t had in many years. It has completely sucked me in. I’ve spent a whole weekend playing and have no idea where all the time went. My wife and daughter are complaining that they don’t have their husband and daddy anymore. I’ll be glad when I finish it so I can actually spend time with my family again…but I have heard about this thing called New Game +…may have to check it out :-)
Bravo FromSoftware!
Complete opposite reaction for me
How did ng+ went?
@@yigi4593 great, Melania much easier to best second time around. But getting pretty boring now. Moved on to BG3 and Diablo4. Just can’t get into Diablo like I used to though. Quite monotonous IMHO
@Zandian I am right there with you. Elden ring took me back to that old gamer feeling from years past. My wife and kids also are wondering what happened to me haha. No games do it like souls games for me. I bought a ps5 so I could play demon souls remake and bloodborne. Both games are great. The demon souls remake I strongly reccomend if you haven't tried it before.
The reason this was so good is because it has that old school feeling. A link to the past was incredible for this reason: some direction but still a massive open world where you can miss things. The bug from the dark world will wreck you but you don't have to take him in before getting new items/abilities
Watching Alex play this on stream, seeing how giddy he turned when he finally found a good game was priceless. If a game can make even him fall in love, it's a 10/10 game for sure.

In a market saturated with bullshit, it’s incredible to see a FULL, COMPLETE game release with such quality and integrity, and no micro transactions. A masterpiece indeed, even with my shitty noob strength build.
Play the others now. Welcome to the family.
I would say play the others, but you more than likely won't enjoy them as much. But the entire From Software library since Demon's souls has been a shining beacon of hope in this dark and cynical industry. Miyazaki is an exceptional visionary, and his team have immense talent.
And the best part is that there's going to be more soon with the DLCs, and often times times the DLCs are even better than the main game
I too started with elden ring and would highly recommend playing souls 3 if you get the chance. After elden ring "clicked" with me I had so much fun going back and taking on souls 3 with a new mindset.
Strength is the way

What I would like is not a quest log but maybe a conversation log. Just something to help you remember what a npc might have said 20 hours earlier. It doesn't need to point me in the correct direction or anything. I like to take breaks from games and come back later and then I might not remember every single conversation I had or wit hwhich character I had it. Having to look them up sadly poiled me on a few questlines by accident. I love that they added npc markers on the map to help you find certain characters without having to teleport around like crazy.
This game falls into the same category as Ocarina of Time, Skyrim, and Breath of the Wild. It's a game changer and will be talked about/played for years to come. It is legendary and just like OJ said "The pinnacle of gaming" in 2022. It's only 2 years into the decade and I'm pretty sure come 2030 this game will be brought up as one of the best of the decade. It's that good.
Skyrim maybe but def not nearly as polished or as fun as Ocarina or BOTW. It doesn't even have widescreen! SMH..
Are you a first time souls player?
Because the game changer was Dark Souls (you can argue for Demon's Souls) and it was 10 years ago.
ER is great and my GOTY, but it's dark souls in open world, nothing more.
@@madjoe8622 Exactly. It's got the same enemies too. I played DS1 but didn't really care for it. Not because it's not a good game, just don't like the depressing aesthetic and how decrepit it is.
I really like this game and have completed it five times, but boy does it have some issues. The reused assets in the game, enemies, dungeons and bosses are just horrendous and take away a lot of the things that make it feel unique. I also feel that the bosses are a bit too spammy with their infinite combos, input reading and hit detection. If ER was 80 % as big and the bosses had been tweaked just a hair and most bosses and areas were just used once this would be a true masterpiece. Now it is just great.
Not Skyrim, it's the most watered down """"RPG"""" I've ever seen, the game changer was that it was so accessible that it got many people into RPGs, not a bad game, but not nearly as great as people claim it to be, it's too shallow for that.
Elden Ring is easily one of the best games ever made and a breath of fresh air in an industry filled with half finished games full of microtransactions.

This is probably the biggest game I have ever played. There is SO much content. People tell me I’m only halfway through while I am 90 hours into the game lol
First run took me 40 hours, currently on ng+++
Dark Souls elitists: "you have to play the game the exact same way I did and suffer the same way I did or I'll get really upset because its not fair that you didn't suffer and rage as much as I did"
Finally got the platinum on PS5. Only took me 430 hours. I tried not to look anything up the first playthrough. There's so many secrets in this game it's impossible not to miss something.
The amount of content you get for standard box price is amazing. Other companies would have broken this up into the base game and 5 DLCs. From Software is striving for brand loyalty at this point, and earning it.
There is a critic from another channel. He said that this game is not Dark Souls 4. This is Dark Souls 4, 5 and 6. There is easly at least 2 full price game content here.
...........games does this, thr gaming catalouge isnt built with EA and Ubisoft titles
A friend bought the game for me because he wanted me to play with him. I was a bit skeptical of paying $60 for a new release because I didn't think there would be that much content. After starting it and then digging into the interactive map online I was overwhelmed by the amount of content. Totally worth the price and I'm glad to have been proven wrong. I'm only at 100 hours and still have a ton of content before the end. I'm enjoying taking my time as it's a nice change of pace with work being stressful.
FromSoft is literally the only company out there right now that I have absolutely zero fears of preordering a game from. I know there are a few other game studios out there that are reliable, but I’m not particularly a fan of their games.

@PTHYTQV Made with Passion. You can tell the Devolopers are true Gamers who wanted us to experience something special. ❤
The story is just another part of the exploration, you can run through everything or stop and investigate every little side path. For me Elden Ring is that, the epitome of Exploration, even building your character and learning how to fight is an exploration. I LOVED it to its core, because that is what gaming is for me, exploring different universes (and this one is just SO rich and mindblowingly beautiful) and challenge myself while doing it.
Ps: the MUSIC, such an incredible score, it makes me cry hearing it rn 1 year after getting to play this masterpiece. Can’t wait for the dlc.

I initially played this game solo, without spirit ash summons and all that. It was a lot of fun.
After coming back and replaying it, spirit ash summons have made subsequent playthroughs so much more enjoyable and bearable tbh. Some bosses are definitely tuned with spirit ashes in mind.
Elden ring should be an example to all other games. One price for an amazing experience. No bullshit. No microtransactions. No live service cutting it to bits and pieces. And especially no hand holding.
Ah the Awakening that Joe experienced with Elden Ring is one that every player experiences with their first FromSoft game. It is amazing to see that everyone feels this way after such a game.
For me it happened with my second. Dark souls 1 didn’t click for me at any point and it wasn’t till I later tried blood borne that it all just fell into place. It really is a magical moment when everything finally just comes together

That happened to me with demons souls on ps3. A screenshot was all i need. Ordered it from asia before it came out in Europe. Been hooked on from soft games ever since.
Hands down one of the best games I've ever played. Simple as that. Glad Joe played it, enjoyed it and understands the game and its methods. ER is so intuitive just like bloodborne and other souls games. Not all the hardcore players are complete douche bags. I've been playing these games for years since demon souls but I'm just happy to see new players loving souls games. These are games for all gamers.
Going through the 1st legacy dungeon without a guide was amazing. I was searching everywhere for a grace it was so fun
"I didn't feel like there was a grind, I was just lost the whole time." Yep, that's Souls alright -- to beat the game, there's little actual grinding; the enemies in areas typically give you the exp you need to match the challenge, and then the next area gives more. But the maze-like areas are brutal for first-timers, and you end up trecking into multiple split paths constantly.
It's a nightmare for those people who say "oh, this looks like the right way, so I'm going to check out the other path first for loot".
That’s exactly the way that I play open world games is my checking the path it doesn’t look like the right way for loot first because I know I’m going to go the other way?!?!
Great comment!!
My brain is sooo big and smooth that I can map the whole dungeon usually and see every path in my head so I never get lost. So when I backtrack down alleys for loot, I know exactly where I didnt go yet. First souls game btw didnt use ashes
Hearing Joe's takes now compared to the first stream are so refreshing. I'm glad he actually gave it a chance .
Best decision Joe made was to play the game off-stream. The souls elitists will ruin any fun from a souls stream with their backseat gaming and insulting the streamer for not "gitting gud".
@@akmal94ibrahim false lol many have played um... On stream and they were bad but they had fun.
@@lolicongang.4974 There is no right or wrong about gaming experience. One thing I think you should learn is : people built different, different personality, age, health condition, background,... so the ways people enjoy things are also different. If it's "TRUE/RIGHT" for you doesn't mean it's "FALSE/WRONG" for other people about gaming, as long as they are enjoying it.
Man them first few streams were rough. Had my guy Joe playing like he was Maidenless 😂
I thought it was funny when he said in the review that it was never a grind… I’m pretty sure I remember entire second stream was grinding lmao. Glad he stuck with it until it clicked. So many people who would love these games have a negative opinion just because they never made it past that steep beginner learning curve.
I've done a summon only for one boss because i wanted to see what it was like. I've beaten that boss with no armor and a bad weapon since so its not that bad. I like a challenge in dark souls so i make it harder for myself. I fight almost all bosses without armor. Although i wear the painted guardian set sometimes to slow my rolls for a few fights such as the moonlight butterfly. But i think summons are a perfectly valid way to play but i want to make the game harder for myself which is also ok
THE BEST WAY TO USE STRENGTH I FOUND OUT, IS TO USE THE ULTRA GREAT SWORD (OR WHATEVER SWORD YOU LIKE) AND PUT THE FLASH STEP ABILITY ON IT (BLOODHOUND STEP). IT'S SO MUCH FASTER THAN ROLLING AND YOU HAVE MORE I FRAMES.

This game is just nuts, gamers really needed this W from From Software.
To people who get frustrated at the game, understand BS aside, if you keep dying you're not learning from your mistakes just stick with it! This game is going to test you but as some who beat DS1 and 3, I can't think of many other games that give you that indescribable feeling of watching the boss that's been beating your ass for the last hour cower and spam the same moves when they're close to death.
Thank you From Software for reminding me that some developers still put the player experience first over profits.
I think they realize putting the player experience first is more profitable than using psychology and fear of missing out to squeeze players for every penny (and waking moment).
Absolutely, don't change From Software
I'm at 250 hours and still have farum azula, the haligtree, and city of ashes left... Not to mention a couple of side dungeons I just thought we're too hard and left. ( Consecrated snowfield catacombs).

Elden Ring really gave me the old gaming feeling while most new TripleA games just feel like you are watching an semi interactable movie
Gave me the same thing. I felt the same as what I felt when playing my first Might & Magic game decades ago.
@Vandole Yes, a bit like Dark Souls 1. The second part was less good. Still both were great games.
Nah all I felt was boredom and uninstalled
interactable
yea its a culmination of fromsoft seing the DNA of its dungeoncrawl predecessors from ER interiors, and an amalgamation of the openworlds genre. for me was reminiscent of fonv how it let players choose its own adventure and how points of interest uses eye catching landmarks as visual direction (notably as soon as you went out of the starting cave and Liurnia, how overstimulating it is.)
32:12 I think doing a call back to King's Field by having something akin to the conversation log would be good.
It's not a quest menu but it helps a bit, especially if you're coming back from a break.
To everyone playing Elden Ring for the first time, definitely level up your Vigor a few times first. That extra HP definitely makes a huge difference in survival early on.
Yeah def level vigor and end for most of Limgrave, scaling doesn't really matter until Liurnia
and remove baldachins blessing in your inventory
Lol, the montage of screaming fuck over and over and then eventually saying “I love this game.” Captures the experience perfectly.
Pretty sure my neighbors think I’m losing my mind. 😆
When it comes to From Software games, a review is never "late" Joe. Focus on your work, take your time, and do your thing.
Amen.
The summon system and the ashes was so much fun.
Being able to throw bloodhound step on a greatsword while dual weilding was such a help especially since generally that stance hurts you defensively.
And god, the mimic summon was such a help. Wasnt super powerful but just the fact that it pulled aggro saved me so many times giving me a chance to breath and heal
And now watching this a year later after thinking i had done everything... im now realizing that i havent fought the dragon yet.
I just started one or two weeks ago, and already have 40+hrs in it, I'm running a warrior dual wield bloody scimitar, and it's working out well
For the record joe, I've played every souls game and I play them pretty religously. I love your review, and I love you calling out the gatekeepers of the community and the egotistical maniacs out there. Everyone has their own experiences when it comes to games and you can play your game anyway you want. If a certian playstyle makes YOUR experience fun and easier on you, it's your bread and butter. Your adventure is your own, sorry your experience with the community has been shitty, and as a souls veteran welcome to the community!

People are dumb annoying for telling people how to play. Especially when it’s their FIRST play through and first souls game. Like, let them do whatever they want in their first playthrough.
If I was a streamer. Man….
And all those cocky elitists would get wrecked and t bagged in other games. If they want to spend that much time on one game that's fine. Anyone who sinks that much time into a game is going to get good but there's no reason to get cocky. Especially when you know you'd get crapped on in Warzone or Mortal Kombat etc.
I just throw all my runes at strength and whack the shit out of things to death. Still have the same weapons from the beginning too. Nope I’m not far at all. I die a lot. But I’m still having fun exploring until I meet another foe that demolishes me, and then back track some where else I haven’t explored and earn more runes.
Same! I've beaten every From Software game except for DS2 and I absolutely love all of these games. That being said, they are hard as hell. I want them to be accessible to everyone so if it means adding mechanics that can give anyone a chance, I'm all for it.
This is the first game in 10 years that I played start to finish. But more than that I actually wanted to get off work and put the time in because I actually enjoyed it. 200 hours in and that was literally on my first playthrough. I haven't taken a no stone unturned approach to gaming in a long time. They said it best it really rekindled my love for gaming.
Remember, from software players still agree that bloodborne is still the best. So you gotta play that next. If you loved this, bloodborne will blow your fucking mind.

I'm late to the Elden Ring party, but this game reminded me why I enjoy playing games. Bravo FromSoftware. I've never gotten into souls games, but damn is this game fun.
Same here, tho i played all 3 souls games before lots of times. Superb game and very engaging
Fromsoft do what every other company struggles with and releases one masterpiece after another. Without a doubt the best developer imo
The best thing about "souls like games" is that it reminds us of when we were kids and games were challenging. In mario you would die and have to start the level over and over again until you mastered it. In Zelda you had to explore and be analytical to finish a dungeon. These elements are put together in these games.
OG Mario was even harder than that. Die 3 times and you'd be restarting the whole damn game, lol.
Yeah even when I was younger even before Souls Games were a thing, I use to go, "Wow, old games were hard." That was back when my first console was a SNES and I didn't really complete most of my library of games, but could knock out games on the GC back to back. Just felt so surreal to notice that.
Agreed. Where the only save slot, if you even had one, was at the beginning of the level. And this whole review could have been him just cussing and going "Fuck "Shit" the entire time and it would be the best and most accurate review for this game lol.
100% I was replaying ds1 the other day and it really gave me nostalgia for the OG tomb raider games. Emphasis on exploration and secrets and no real holding
I've stayed away from souls like games because I hate the dodge/parry mechanic. I tried playing DS1 because I heard how amazing the series was, but dodging felt so clunky. I spent a couple hours playing and couldn't consistently time dodges; sometimes it would work, and sometimes it wouldn't, but it didn't feel like I did anything differently.
I love figuring out strategies for fights, it was my favorite part of raiding in MMOs, but I get so frustrated with reaction based mechanics that I just don't bother with games that use them. I play games to have fun, and I don't have fun bashing my face into a wall repeatedly. I'll leave these kinda games to you guys, while I watch the cool stuff and laugh at your pain.
