They should add an Easy mode, but its actually easier for the enemies to kill you
Lol its hardcore mode. Easier to quit for the people who ask for it
If they did that, made a harder mode but called it easy mode, that be the most "dark souls" thing of all
There's already an easy mode, it's called kill the dragon for 100k runes, afk in limgrave, summon 2 bleed builds to cheese Margit and Godrick, and never leave the bird farm. It won't get any more difficult unless you want the gold scarab, cuz that boss is no joke.
I’m sure miyazaki would make it an achievement to beat it on “easy mode”
Easy mode should be everything dies in one hit, but so do you. No amount of vigor will help.
“A game that is not made for everyone is not a game that should be made” basically translates to “a game that is not made for me is not a game that should be made”
The part that gets me, like REALLY gets me, it's a God dam souls game. They have NEVER been "easy" and I never really saw people really complain.
I've met people who have said stuff like "oh I'm not a fan, those games are hard so I just never got into it"
But some of the people complaining about this game is crap.
It's so well crafted, it really is and if you're an old school souls fan, it's amazing how far it's come. The AI has mostly gotten better, the movement mechanics, the jumping (oh thank God for the jumping) compared to the older games is SO NICE.
My only complaint about this game is its frame capped for consoles, like I get it, but it's my only complaint.
And idk I've never really seen people care so much about "a game not made for everyone"
Most games aren't for everyone, and that's been true for a long time.
Sorry I get a little ranty
@@NotTheHeroStudios oh that easy mode complaint happens with basically every fromsoft game. It happened with ds3, bloodborne, sekiro, and now Elden Ring
I hate shooters and sports games, so those shouldn't be made because of meeee. What even...
@@NotTheHeroStudios Yeah definitely agree, but it’s also the biggest souls game ever, and I’m sure all these people complaining hear how much other players love it so they’re upset about not being able to play it/enjoy it. Rather than getting better at the game, they post reviews saying how bad it is 😂.
@@NotTheHeroStudios yep the game definitely feels good
Though it feels weird as well playing elden ring right after Sekiro and not having any experience with souls games
I need to get it in my head that I need to stop parrying
The irony of looking at this almost 2 years later when Quantum said we sound like abuse victims...
i mean he should know right? xD
His wife liked elder ring?
Quantum is one of the biggest losers of all time, but the guy that attacked Whitemask Vare multiple times somehow just drives me insane.
he deserves to be with prison gangs hoping the sentence won't outlive him
@@NoChance345 I'm pretty sure that dude was literally retarded or something.
7:52 "I get to the guy with the mask, accidentally attack him-"
Yea. 'Accidentally.' Right. He called you maidenless and hurt your feelings so you tried to kill him.
"-and then he kills me."
That really why you hate it. You got called out for being maidenless and then curb stomped to add injury to insult from a fight you started.
Didn't learn your lesson from the grafted scion and didn't know what to do with a game requiring/rewarding you for effort. Thats why you still maidenless.
Seriously. He doesn't even aggro unless you hit him 3 times.
Not to mention Varre has one of if not the very worst weapon in the entire game. You have to try to lose to it.
“This is a game for people without families”
Me with my three little boys watching me, cheering me on. “Dad, is that the final boss!?” on every single mob because every enemy is fucking epic. My boys had a blast watching me.
Sounds like what someone without a family would say, why would that comment stand out to you otherwise.
You sit on a throne of lies, and whatever kids you're hearing are the voices in your head.
@@EK-xs7fe "you sit on a throne of lies" fuckin dweeb
My cousin and my uncle was cheering me on too it's the best feeling on the game😂😍
I had so much fun watching you dad, you are awesome!
@@EK-xs7fe wtf? bro is turning into a e-boy
Coming back to this after elden ring won game of the year truly feels good
And stollen by Bill Clinton
facts
Sasuga Ainz sama
Factsss
I wanna know what Quantum says about it winning goty
*Opens pizza box upside-down*
Why is my pizza only made of bread
Type energy
As someone who started my souls journey with elden ring and then moved to ds3 I can confidently say Elden ring has the easiest start push that makes you going even with Margit as a hard boss for beginners I cant believe how people didnt get curious to explore the whole map ( aka Limgrave I actually thought thats the entire map lmao ) before fighting Margit again is beyond me
Oh I'm playing through Bloodborne now and yeah Elden ring really is the easy mode of the series. Just the first fog gate boss Father Gascoigne could clap the entirety of Limgrave on his own.
I completely agree. I played all the souls games except Bloodborne (PC) and DS3 gives you a skill check at the start
I do have my issues with a few mobs in the game (fucking red wolves showing up in areas that don't allow summons), but this guy's opinion is just straight up wrong, plain and simple.
You don't get to complain about not understanding the controls when you can just go to the damn menu for control edits and see what button is lock on.
In this same boat, though I played a few hours of sekiro first. Loved ER, love DS3 although I miss jumping at will lol. Both great games that teach you how to win, just gotta pay attention and be patient.
I went half way through caelid before killing Margit, I'm so sad I still haven't been able to beat it. < I broke my ps4 over 2 years ago and it still hasn't been fixed. ( I used to play competitive and got mad and hit it)
Im 1000% sure that QTV was one of those children who got so pissed and cried endlessly because he couldnt put the square block in the circle hole.
All the shapes go in the square hole. Your life is a lie!
Why does this have no replies?! This comment is funny as hell😆
True, he got Vigor checked and that did it in for him
And the cherry on top is that he got arrested recently, how about that
I read this originally as pissed himself and cried. I find both versions applicable.
"You're not going to reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into." That was very eloquently said.
They felt something, and rationalized it instead of thinking how truth it is.
@@denkerbosu3551 Absolutely! It's an easy trap too fall into. One of the reasons that I enjoy these videos so much is that it helps me see perspectives I wouldn't normally consider.
Almost like he quantum tunneled himself there in fact.
You can't argue with someone who is never wrong.
@@justinwill7420 Exactly i never seen so many whinny baby gamers in my life.
"you guys literally sound like abuse victims"
-QuantumTV, literally a convicted wife beater
boy that line aged like milk
A lot of things he said aged poorly. "Elden Ring won't be GotY, remember that I said this."? Well it won GotY, and we remember what he said. "You have no friends and family."? Says the abuser with a mugshot, restraining order, and a divorce.
you mean aged like fine wine
perfect , down to every minute detail
Atleast he knows what he is talking about for once
He should know, he creates abuse victims
Nothing these res ever said aged well
Almost every 3rd person melee game ever : press R3 to lock on
This guy : "Oh my god, how do you lock on? This is impossible"
I still wanna know what he meant by a "light lock on", never figured that out.
To be honest the targeting is kind of wonky. Sometimes you can lock on from 200 meters away and sometimes it barely works at 2 meters.
It's the same in all FromSoft games though so it doesn't really make Elden Ring terrible, just not perfect.
"he's already spent 6 minutes in the game, he cant restart now. he's locked in"
I laughed audibly at this sentence.
It's true, I heard it
@@MrSkinnyWhale as did i
sounds like someone didn't know there is a file select.
@@yt_nh9347 And there it is...
@@Vihara2 Dude said something unfunny and racist but I'm the bad guy? Holy shit man fuck off, get a life.
“This is a game for people without families”
*Me who plays Elden Ring with my dad and my 2 little cousins watching and cheering for me every time a boss battle occured*
Lmaoo
You're actually right. This is one of very few games where it's genuinely interesting sitting beside the player and seeing how they fare. Especially boss battles.
My fiancée convinced me to get it and asks me play it all the time. :D
@@a8lg6p Sounds like a worthwhile investment. What brand is the vibrator?
Exactly I've never seen a game that my family enjoys watching as much as elden ring
“I’m trying to come home from work, I’m trying to relax.”
So you chose the most notorious game series that’s revered for its rage quitting, controller smashing difficultly of all time to “come home and casually game” to?
That what your first mistake…
Tbh I bought the game without knowing it was from the souls series due to popularity and positive reviews. Didnt like it very much, came back later and loved it.
I know this video is old, but my 9 year-old just beat Elden Ring by himself; how tf did these idiots not manage to beat it? I’m not saying my son isn’t smart, but he can’t outsmart a 30-year old with that equivalent of life experience
Because 1) they're not very bright and 2) they aren't actually gamers to begin with. They're bro gamers or girl gamers, people who play like every iteration of 1 or 2 franchises then consider themselves a huge part of the hobby based off that, because 15 years ago being a nerd somehow became cool and mainstream.
my guess is they came into the gaming scene via game that was made in recent years, the type of game where it held up every for you (even ur dangling sack inplace), point you to toward anything you ever needed. Then they touched a game that does hold them like they are the most precious thing in the whole damn world, they started to b*tch n whine about it. Or they just want drama to boost their relevenancy(99/100 doesnt fking work)
""You don't make friends by insulting them you insult them after"" no truer words
actually i met my best friend from him flaming me on left 4 dead. i invited him after for more and we both thought that was funny and kept playing :P
@@Longtimer49 lol
that dude is the same weird guy in school that behaves like a prick to others and gets bullied, then comes out to say that people bully him only because he is (gay/nerdy/introvert)
@@Longtimer49 that's wholesome dude I remember I was learning ds3 pvp and I met one of my best Xbox friends he showed me some tips
@@Longtimer49
For some reason, that reminds me that the whole reason KEEMStar has a career is because someone recorded him trash-talking on the XBox and uploaded it online.
I think it's always important to distinguish "graphics" and "artstyle"
I think graphics feeds the art style. They couldn't afford to make botw look super amazing so they based the art style around it and made it work. Even really cool artstyle can be overshadowed by really bad/dated graphics. Obviously many can look past it but may can't.
The thing is that elden rings graphics really aren't bad at all in my opinion. A lot of things are very detailed, the world feels alive and i always have this sense of awe when i play it.
I personally just think that not every game has to look super realistic for it to have "good" graphics.
Yeah lol. Just like a short hike, or valheim. "Shitty" graphics, absolutely 10/10 beautiful games for me tho
But if graphics fit the artstyle its good graphics for me
I played Elden ring, never played dark souls after beating ER and beating NG+ I started to play dark souls, and later dark souls 3 since it the latest DS, the artstyle is jaw dropping for me ,I enjoyed the story and lore of it all, it brought me back as a kid playing half life and half life 2, the game is just an amazing experiance I wish now for more games like these to exist.
Im ready for a Quantum DLC review. 😂
2 minute complaint about how he can’t access the dlc because you have to get past Varre first
He can't play cuz he beat his wife 😂
i can wait !
He can't play the DLC because he pissed Varre off.
Two words: skill issue
Told a coworker that I was playing Elden Ring lately and that he should give it a try. He responded “oh I don’t really like super hard games so I think I’ll pass on this one.” I said “yeah that’s fair it’s not for everyone”
Why the fuck can’t more people be like my coworker?
Its fair man some people like cod other like fifa other fortnite, apex, etc
I am like your coworker 😀
stay friends with that dude
tbh, Elden ring is times easier than any other dark souls
@@alix6xgorg839 debatable, i still think 3 is easy mode because the rolls are so broken. elden ring has a pretty massive curve at mountaintops too where u get twoshot by everything
“The player base are like people who drink blood from a cup-“
It’s called Draconic Communion and I earned that Dragon Heart
Damn right
Lol gimme some of that people juice
Asmon caring for plants is actually so sweet, that warmed my heart. Especially knowing how he lives. I love that he is doing something like caring for a few plants because that is out of character for him.
Plants rarely complain or over react perfect for asmon :) I love plants too
I went to the patretta center last January and went down their bullet slide. I had just bought new swimming trunks which were VERY slick. When I made it to the bottom of the slide the life guard told me that it was the fastest he had seen anyone go. he said my time was 7.43 seconds which was the second fastest time on record. My cousin Lucas told me that he didn't believe me though which was really frustrating because I know he was just jealous.
Any successful game that is a finished game with no micro transactions seems to be shit on by scummy devs
Guy mistook the guy with no weapon for hostile and mistook the big golden knight on a horse for a friendly ally. Truely the pinnacle of decision making and common sense. Even I thought the horse guy was friendly but as soon as I saw the big red health bar at the bottom of my screen and saw him chasing me with a big spear I did what anyone would have done. RUN
I haven't played but the first time I seen him I assumed he was one of those mid game bosses.
he has too big of an ego he only makes friends with the 'bigger' individual, even if it's abusive
Never played any souls game b4 but always been a gamer and just seeing that tree sentinal should be common video game knowledge he will fuck you up.
Even the tree sentinals patroling path gave me the "Im out here looking for a fight" kind of vibe.
@@sneekmuch right, if you can't recognize that it's an enemy something is wrong with you
"Toxic dev mentality"
After selling more copies than their previous games the devs put out a big thank you to all the fans and then the studio gave everyone who worked on the game a big bonus.....doesn't get more toxic than that!
Has nothing to do with anything. It sold more copies because it was overhyped compared to other soulsborne games. Literally everything wrong with ds2 is wrong with elden ring. Any1 who thinks its a 10/10 or even a 9/10 is just a simpy fangirl
@@GigaChadDuPlessis I never played a souls game, didn't watch any hype. Just got it recommended on steam, was bored. Bought it. 10/10.
Didn't even watch any elden ring content until I finished the game due to spoilers.
@@TheFoxNes pfttttt😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ya ok kid
@@GigaChadDuPlessis Oh, sassy. 😱
@@GigaChadDuPlessis I'm not really a souls fan either, I played Bloodborne for like 1 hour. Played elden and I fucking loved it. I liked it so much I also started playing demons souls. I really like both of these games, I like games like Factorio and Astroneer. This game caught me in similar ways. I couldn't put it down. Anyone talking shit about elden ring either hasn't played, or is a douchebag troll 😅
I am very sick right now and watching all your response videos are helping me through thanks man love ya
I hate when people say "git gud" as an excuse for bad games, but holy hell, this guy is exactly why they do that. He was legit mad he was bad.
He talks about pitfalls in these games. A friend of mine went straight into the Catacombs in Dark souls 1. Made it to a bonfire down there without leveling up at all. They never made it back out. After 5 hours they had to restart and went a different way. It became their favourite game until Bloodborne. Good times.
The scythe is down there so I always run down there myself.
I did the exact same thing when ds1 was released.
I believe we all have done this before yes
I did the same, but with Ash Lake and that gave me enough of an aneurysm as is. I can't imagine the catacombs.
I totally would've skipped the tutorial in Elden Ring if someone didn't tell me it's there, jumping into a dark pit near a creepy old guy didn't seem like a good idea
To be fair about gran tourismo 7, what actually happened is the reviewers reviewed a version of the game, found it enjoyable, and then Sony and polyphony changed the game monetization after launch. So essentially both sets of reviews are accurate. The game was changed via updates that made it worse post release. Real shady stuff.
Thats so scummy wtf
Or maybe most people are bored of gran tourismo, cause cmon racing games need to be reaaaaally good to be better then the ones that already exist. Gran tourismo doesnt do anything new in my opinion, and i think most people feel that, updates or not
People still play GT? It died to me when forza came out.
GT is better o ly in the fact that I have a racing wheel setup and PSVR. I haven't got the newest GT. but I don't feel I need to, I'm happy with the last rendition on PS4
That sounds like it’s borderline illegal.
If it’s not, it probably should be.
What a cunt move to do.
"No engaging story." Bro made it ten minutes into the game. He didn't even REACH the story.
10:05: I dont think Ive laughed this hard all year and its September. Such great commentary on top of an already hilarious Act Man video
I love that, for YEARS, people demanded that "YOUR CHOICES MATTER" in games, and now they're mad that their choices matter.
You get a differently colored cut-scene of the same scene as the other endings and like a 10s clip after that.
That's extremely mild
@@Chronically_ChiII I think they meant the minor choices mattering a ton like with class building and such. Or at least that’s how I interpreted it.
@@Chronically_ChiII yea or you torch the entirety of reality or usher in an age of knowledge and self reliance as the power of faith leaves for the distant stars.
@@Chronically_ChiII or you set the world on fire and burn everyone and destroy the world
@@Chronically_ChiII yeah that kind of pissed me off I’m hoping we get dlc that expands on the ending for each ending

What happened?

Bro you really make work go by so fast for me , I appreciate it
I used to love Total Biscuit's "WTF is" series on You Tube. He did "not a review" on many games that he just put in a few hours of gameplay to write something. He was super clear it wasn't a review because he hadn't played a lot, but it was review :P he just understands that it can't be a complete review when he hadn't played a TON of the game to review it, but it was still enough time to get a feel for what you'd experience in your first few hours of play.
Miss that Biscuit guy... RIP
When I convinced my little brother to play the game, he attacked the first NPC too.
But he did it on purpose, cause he didn't like being called maidenless.
And I will give my brother some credit, he just kept respawning and fighting the guy, and used the experience to learn how to parry, so by the time he beat him, he was really well prepared for the combat.
Buy your brother a gift or something for being such a great sport about it, he deserves it 100% he took a great lesson from that experience
finally, a based child.
Your brother should stream dude. Sounds like a Chad
Hope he has a celestial dew
Brother. You have shown him the right way. He will be a Great Lord of Cinder.
"He's already spent 6 minutes in the game... He can't restart now. He's locked in." 😂😂😂 Why haven't I watched this guy sooner, love his commentary/reactions.

Its wild to me how much i was missing out on. I had never played a souls game, picked this up on a friends recommendation and now its one of my top 5 favorite games of all time.
Asmongold reactions are really like movies. Love the long videos
"My guy starts swinging wildly..."
That's not your guy. That's you. You're controlling your character. You are doing that.
Exactly. Spam is spam
Don't tell him that. He'll call your mom! Or brand you as racist, homophobe trash!
Or worse, wished you were a victim of a shooting!
This guy’s a clown 🤡 I wish I hadn’t clicked on the video.
and then i walked in and started blastin
Nah you see if you’re spamming and it doesn’t work, then it’s the game being faulty not the fact a player should find a different strategy.
I downloaded this game, ran outside and died to the tree sentinel. I then uninstalled and cursed out the game for about a month. Someone convinced me to try it again so I watched a tutorial on what I should actually do in the game and I got a better understanding. 100+ hours and multiple ng+s ltr it is my first Souls game and is easily a top 3 game for me. It got rid of my boredom and kept reigniting my excitement with each new boss, biome, town, enemy and quest. 10/10 would die to tree sentinel again
for real, that feeling of opening up to limgrave, going blind and jump into it...finding our own quests with the online help to figure stuff out. What a journey :) I had a blast setting in game roadblocks for myself like: beat makar to access altus...obtain both halves of the perfect mage physik or get spells i needed dotted all over the map. Played a faith caster, it's also in my top 3, easy. I can't wait for the DLC
I’m confused on why you raged from tree sentinel 😂 it was my first souls game too and I knew for a fact killing it was possible, but also not needed. It didn’t scream boss to me. If anything, being able to run away from it tells you it’s optional. So why rage at all?
I did the same, had a dude convince me to play it again and kept bugging me until I gave it a real shot and fought my way all the way to Melania before finally giving it a rest and realizing it was just boring. And before anyone starts, I didn’t even fight melania. It’s just a boring, empty world.
@@simpledanman to you, it is ;) sadly, your opinion of this word doesn't consist in facts for many others. To each their own, mileage will vary :P
@@vardamir0397 mileage***
I am 110% of the opinion the first boss on the horse is a deliberate troll to ragebait new players to the franchise. Even though you killed it first time Asmon, I was like "nope...you don't fool me game" and came back to get him WAY later.
The only npc I killed by complete accident was patches in bloodborne, came down the ladder in the lecture building and just saw a spider blocking a door. I figured it was a dastardly trap and killed it before it killed me
"You're not going to reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into"

Most underrated, God-tier mechanic in elden ring: the ladders. Hold up to go up, hold down to go down, regardless of which direction the camera is pointing. Perfection.
Magneto: "Perfection."
Not gonna lie, I'm so used to correction for the camera that the ladders fuck me up 🤣
Do that many games have it the other way though? I cannot remember even a single one where it depended on the camera
@@cultistaautista There are a few games out there that if you're faced towards your character it reverses the input. I know ocarina of time does that, pretty sure the older assassin's creed games do that. I'm sure most newer games are fine, i just haven't played that many.
@@chandler1473
Now I have to re-check the early Assassin's creed games, because despite havig countless hours in them I never remembered the ladders being different...

you have to protect stupid people from themselves, have u ever heard of a concept called health and safety? we've been sanding down sharp corners for decades and now people are so accustomed to life being easy that they have no challenges, no reason to learn new skills because everyone else caters to them... darwinism needs to make a major comeback lol.
@@SanguineThor I killed her because f** her, she killed my buddy.
I'm a mom of two kids, been playing ark for years, elden ring is the first game to make me give up ark. Been playing it nonstop. The elden beast took me a week to beat, but the satisfaction of finally being it was amazing. Started up NG+ because I'm ready to be hurt again.
That's the spirit, what is a little plain and death for us hard-core players. plus raising children automatically gives you +5 vigor and endurance. Good luck on NG+ and onwards.
Most underrated comment of the year.
@@jeremiahcoker4696 Yo, where can i cash in on those free stats? I got 3 kids and im 31. Lol I get about 2 hours a day to play Elden Ring and that's due to sacrificing sleep, but you kind of have to make sacrifices to enjoy such a HUGE game. That map size dropped me and my buddies jaws.
Good luck on NG+! In my experience it ends up feeling like a victory lap now that you know all the bosses moves and timings and for most of the earlier bosses your significantly over leveled and it’s fun to feel all your hard work pay off each new play though
Glad you are enjoying the game
19:28 pretty sure thats the face we all collectively made at that moment 😂
It’s crazy watching this after the whole quantum tv drama happened
I almost hit Ranni. I gasped out loud and shouted "NONONO" as I held the stick away from her. Then I hit the floor in front of her. This dumbass hit the first non hostile . . . three times. Intentionally.
My controller fell off of my knee and I somehow killed Gowry in one hit but luckily it was Gowry so it doesnt matter
Lol almost got a scolding from the waifu, good thing you were able to stop in time
YOU ALMOST DID
W H A T ?
@@kokaomfI swatted a fly in her tower! I swear!
I accidentally killed patches while he was lying down in the sea cave, my control bumped my knee. I went through my whole first play with guilt and for patches 😔
I too got to "the guy with the mask," and attacked him. He killed me. Then I respawned and he was already attacking me again. He killed me. Then I respawned (several times actually) and fought him several times until I KILLED HIM. I celebrated, walked down the hill a little, saw the first tree sentinel, and began the process over again.
I also attacked the mask guy, not because I didn't know he was safe, but because he was rude to me so fuck him.
20 minutes later I accepted defeat and have never returned to the place of my greatest shame
You sir, have gotten gud, welcome to the club
Step 1: Kill the first non hostile white mask NPC
Step 2: Welcome to the got Gud club
The violent but chad route lmao
It is a legit and intended strat. Either think your way around and explore or keep hitting that wall until it breaks.
Just know that the game is trying to be fair in terms of the player's freedom and the story's setting which, in fact, does not care about your existence.
There is an easy mode: Use Ashes, bows, jars, sorceries and every other tool you can get your hands on. Exploit every enemies weakness, explore the world and if you hit a wall somewhere then just run away, go somewhere else and come back later once you've leveled a bit.
Using a high level ash like mimic tear or the lluthel soldier turns the game into a walk in the park. I remember i was struggling with melania so after about 30 tries I, out of frustration, summoned my max level mimic tear. It quite literally solo'd the first phase and 1/3 of the second phase and I quit and reloaded because i didn't want to win like that. if i had a ranged weapon/spell and was supporting the tear i probably would have beat her in 2-3 tries. The beauty of the game is that its only as hard as you make it
@@Llama_charmerI would take that W if I were you. No longer will I suffer from what's more to come.
This is absolutely the correct take. I suck at these games, and going through Wharf in DS2 was awful. I eventually cleared most of it just by despawning it all. Then I ragequit at the Lost Sinner, reinstalled, and when I got to Wharf again I cleared it with no deaths. I hadn't sharpened my player skills at all. I just was willing to run away at the first sign of trouble, and had enough health to not get combo'd to death. The mere fact that Elden Ring is open world makes it much easier than its linear predecessors.

If you are stupid enough to attack a clearly non hostile npc "3" times then you deserve that pitfall. Consequences of bad decisions should be more apparent in games so yeah, those pitfalls are good lessons to players and should be in more games.
you know whats funny about the Quantum TV guy? He also made a video three times and dug his pitfall into a canyon
Yea I hit that guy and got fucked up 20 times
Its an IQ measure, you need to be this smart to play.
Sometimes it's really annoying still, there is the bug when the runebear fight aggro Blaidd because of the bear hitbox. The only way to deaggro him is 2 regions away in the Church of Vow + u need a potion, that's down in hell. When you first play you don't know that. Of course the guy was a fool and missed this game with a Bethesda game, where u can literally slaughter a village. But rare times like this he is kinda right.
Harsly a pitfall. More like an idiot jumping into a hole to see how deep it is, then complaining he broke his legs and now he can't get out.
And all it it takes is to GO BACK I TIME 6 MINUTES PREVIOUS.
WTF.
Elden Ring does have an easy mode. At the start of the game Melina asks you if you want to have the ability to level up. If you choose "yes", then you've chosen easy mode.
The easy mode is playing a magic build
@@trillnye2high 😂more like playing zero vigor build😂
@@lemonke1709 You don't need hp if you don't get hit.
@@trillnye2high not true some people are so bad they shouldn't even touch ranged. they dont know what spells to use and they invest in magic stats but end up using melee anyway when magic fails. my friend played like this for a while. he turned full melee and the game became much easier for him he abused defenceive stats and colosole weapons to just walk up to them and beat them till they are dead no dodgeing blocking just chugging and r1 spam. but i know what you mean magic is honestly great when you know what your doing
@@trillnye2high i used magic first, then switched to blood real fast
My biggest gripe with the game is the incentive to explore. This is also a strength of the game generally, but I’m somebody who just cares about fighting cool bosses, so forcing me to explore so that I can level up before fighting a boss is kinda dumb to me. For example in ds3, you’re perfectly fine if you just go from boss to boss. Probably just because it’s linear and not open world, but I liked that way better.
Ik this clip/vid is old and I’ve been watching you since before this came out, but this got me to sub. I can’t catch the streams typically, but fuck this is an incredible reaction vid
"There's nothing fun about this game for someone who is new to the franchise"
Just got elden ring today, it's my first souls game and I'm already loving it
elden ring was also my first fromsoft game, i have 250 hours in it and i just recently beat dark souls 1-3
Remember the key to the game is, if you are stuck on a boss/area just go do something else and come back better equiped
Mine is downloading now first souls game too
Never liked any souls game, Elden Ring is just different
even Girlfriend Reviews says Elden Ring is a great starting point for someone new to the franchise, and she is the ultimate casual gamer. Her most hardcore game experience is Animal Crossing.
"You're not going to reason someone out of a position that they didn't reason themselves into." That is a freaking golden piece of advice right there.
I’ve watched this video even before playing elden ring, now I’ve finished it, but man for some reason I keep coming back to this video
9:44 I remember I was spamming bloodhounds fang ash of war in the tunnel and fighting an enemy and accidentally triggered aggro on Alexander in 1 hit (big boi damage) and that was annoying but oh well
There’s a distinct difference between “Hey, Elden Ring’s UI is kinda clunky for first timers. Maybe it could be a little more user friendly.” and “Elden Ring’s UI makes it literally impossible to play, 0 out of 10 use flames to burn.”
@@jessebensen3569 Right, but even out right saying it’s terrible and leaving it at that is better than saying it ruins the rest of the game like this trogolodyte was saying (Quantum, not Asmongold).
yeah and seem like to me they completely forget about the mouse & keyboard control :D
It’s 2022. No nuance allowed.
The UI is bad. Even worse if you play on a keyboard, cause all the prompts use the controller icons. And it's a shame that such a basic and simple feature has been overlooked for so long.
@@Clawzz299 that moment when you don't know about the option to switch the on-screen prompts to mouse and keyboard. Though i will admit it should be automatic not manual. Under sound and display you can change the on screen buttons to m&k, i believe it's called gamepad display or something
I'd never played a souls game in my life. My experience was walking out, talking to the white mask and learned I was maidenless, then got absolutely murdered over and over by the god damn tree sentinel. Had to walk away then an hour later came back and actually said hey maybe I ought to learn how to play the game and went back in the little tutorial area. Came out feeling much more confident and fought the tree sentinel...and died in 1 hit. I spent the rest of the night farming the gate ruins people and finally killed that son of a bitch and let out a roar that would make Palpatine shit his pants. People who say this game sucks are morons.
That reminds me of when I played DS2 for the first time. I'm usually a calm person who has never thrown a controller in my life but I got so angry and frustrated at the game that I took the disk out and threw it against the wall. A few years later when DS3 came out I decided to just learn the game almost as if I had never play ANY game before and this became one of my favorite game series of all times
@@amuro9624 I expected DS2 to be an improvement over DS1, so I decided to make it my first souls game as well. DS3 wasn't out at the time and I didn't have a PlayStation. I dropped it before even getting out of the first area. Gave the first game a try couple of days later. Loved it. 300 gameplay hours later I thought "well the first game turned out to be great! Now that I know the basics, I'll have fun with DS2 for sure!" But it was a miserable experience. I just ran through the game and my only joy was slamming everyone with a Zweihander. I hope no one else decides to go for DS2 right after Elden Ring lmao
That’s some maiden energy you have
My first game was ds3 it was pretty normal until I got my but wooded by nameless king.I was pretty hype when I finally killed him.
You also could have came back to the Tree Sentinel at a higher lvl 😂 that is an option
Hot take of mine. Fighting games and all of the 2K sports games should do what Destiny did. Just update the roster and add dlc yearly and just have the same game. Imagine one Mortal Kombat game with every character and guest character since MK9 in one roster. Or one Basketball game with every team and player and roster since 2008 in one game. Would be much better then releasing 12 games with no difference.
1:14 easy mode is using 2 huge halberds and only using jump attack
A game that expects you to read the room and figure it out without pointing you in the right direction constantly. You can just... play. No daily quests, no hand holding, and combat that feels SOOOOO satisfying when you FINALLY win.
I remember when you had to actually look around in games for objectives. Nowadays, almost every game has a literal arrow pointing you to each objective. So a lot of these younger players don't see an arrow or a big circle on the minimap showing where the next objective is, and they're like wtf am I supposed to do???
Whar exactly is satisfying in a slow and clunky combat? Compared to ninja gaiden and kingdom hearts.
@@Raylightsen Have you played the game? And touting kingdom hearts as "Satisfying" Combat? Lmao. Maybe if live for arcades. Elden ring isn't clunky in the least. It rewards perfect timing and learning your enemy. I don't think I've ever had to pay attention to any kingdom hearts fight.
@@Raylightsen kh is probably my favorite game ever made and the combat is great but not every game is supposed to be an arcade like hack and slash. Elden Rings combat is based upon timing and learning movesets and having realistic movements. It isn’t chunky you just don’t have to spam x to get in a 30 hit combo
@@Raylightsen
“Slow and clunky combat”
Tell me you haven’t played Elden Ring without saying you haven’t played Elden Ring.
I know Asmon has a decent understanding of FFXIV, but every time chat calls him Mr. Heavenward is so fucking funny
I hope he and chat doesn't take it too seriously but it is pretty funny
@@sumbody694 too be fair that is why i stopped FFXIV somewhere at the early middle of it.
it's to much story for me.
this isn't really a problem but i wanted to try the game to see if it even fits me and if i would enjoy it.
if i like the game i would be happy about every bit of story i can get but with not even knowing if it suits me all that story and cutscenes is just too much time investment in something i didn't even decide about if it's worth for me in the first place.
still would never say it's a bad game or something like that.
just that it isn't the kind of new-player experience i *personaly* want to have.
(but gotta admit i still sunk waaaaay to many hours into crafting...that shit was fun!)
i remember running into tree sentinel and just ended application and didnt come back for like 2 months , just ran past him and started figuring shit out and started having fun, but i wont big up the game that much, i feel like i get stuck in a farming loop a little to often
I had to play offline so the guy that mocks your maidenlessness was useless to me for the finger quest so I killed him and got that cool spell early If I remember right . Sucks they cut off the back way into the best rune farm , you used to just be able to jump off the death bird spot and a couple more things to get there .
I had never played a souls game before Elden Ring, I didn’t look up any guides and just kinda ran around accidentally progressing the story until I beat it. Nothing but a good time, even when margit took me 3 different days of trying to beat, I was purely excited the whole time to just try it, I didn’t care that I died over 100 times to him, the gameplay was SO fun that I didn’t care. 10/10
the whole premise of the series is that the game doesn't end when you die, you aren't re-loading saves and there is potentially net zero loss it's like the oxymoron of gaming. Also, it makes every death or attempt at a boss a unique experience and the difficulty makes it more visceral and rewarding than most other games. I have thoroughly enjoyed them all except Sekiro because there was no pvp, I may eventually play it but for me pvp is where it's at. Cheers!
Grinding's always acceptable if you enjoy the combat mechanics, imo
I would also like to add that after I get all the achievements for Elden Ring, I’ll happily be buying past souls games and experiencing them for the first time as well!
As someone who’s been playing this series since dark souls 1, I always enjoy hearing a new player picking up one of the games and getting immersed in it. It can be a real pain and clunky at first but once it clicks, it feels great
Same here, first time playing a Soulsborne game. For NG+ my goal was to beat Radagon/Elden Beast with a tank build. Killed Radagon with a rapier and tower shield, blocking most attacks and countering when able to. It was the equivalent to playing Street Fighter 2 doing only low kicks, dealing low chip damage. Radagon killed me a lot of times, but when I finally started seeing the patterns it felt great! I had a blast with that fight. Still trying to understand Elden Beast tho.
The "If a game isn't made for everyone, it isn't a game that should be made." comment is probably one of the worst hot takes I have heard in a long time. I love Elden Ring, and most negative reviews have some legitimate concerns, or I can understand it from their point of view. That take was just garbage though.
if you aren't enjoying the game, you shouldn't force yourself to play it and then complain when you dont enjoy it.
@@miniskruff8345 honestly for most people, there are probably more games out there they don’t enjoy over what they do enjoy. Doesn’t mean those games should have never been made.
What he is basically saying is that ALL forms of media entertainment, or entertainment at all, should just halt entierly.
Even if it's something as simple as watching birds or painting.
@@mythoceanas8874 that’s a good point, there will always be someone who enjoys what you hate
Yep, theres no way to make a game for everyone cause peoples tastes are simply to varied.
Some people love FPS Shooters some people fucking hate them, trying to make something where every person likes it will just lead to failure.
i cant stand when someone says "i cant restart i spent 3 hours making my character" bro its so easy to save a preset, i have 3 presets for different character types and i just load them up every time i make a character so permafucking yourself at the start of the game is an easy fix if your barely into the game
NGL tho elden ring graphics are on point sometimes it's nice to just slow down and enjoy the scenery especially that underground city with the dragon kin
"A game that is not made for everyone is not a game that should be made" HAS TO BE in my top 10 most stupid things i have ever heard, BRAVO!
A story driven game that is not accessible to all players should not be made. If the point is a story, any idiot should be able to beat it and experience the story.
Should it still offer challenge? Yeah, so you can experience the story as the character. But really any idiot should be able to somehow overcome it whether that's difficulty modes or just the game being fair to the player.
@@christopherreichle6670 Not only is that fundamentally wrong, but Elden Ring is not story driven. It has a story and lore but it is definitely not the primary focus
@@christopherreichle6670 if you are playing the game for the story then just watch lore videos
@@rickjohnson1719 that's probably what I'd do yes. Because the gameplay would get in the way and if I just wished to enjoy the story without the game (making the game therefore irrelevant or the story irrelevant based on perspective) that's what I'd do. But that shouldn't have to be done otherwise what's the point of having the story?
@@christopherreichle6670 >gameplay would get in the way
holy fuck dude watch a movie
I bought Elden Ring first day it released. Had never played a FromSoft game before. After a couple hours I returned it because I was too stubborn to look up anything about it or try getting better. I felt pretty similar to the people who “reviewed” the game in this video. After a week or so I bought the game back and did it right this time. Took the time to watch tutorials and actually LEARN the game. Now I’ve beaten it multiple times, and it is one of my favorite games ever. I’m so glad I didn’t give up on this game.
Now that's how a gamer is supposed to act like "gamer". Patience is key, it's just like learning a new sport. You can't say you're a sporty guy if the only sport you know or stick to is just one type of sport at least hobby wise, those who are with profession is understandable if they only know one or two sports in their whole lifetime since it's their profession.
But me as a gamer, it's just merely a hobby, not a profession unless I decide to make money out of it. So it's natural for me to try all different kinds of games to the best of my interests to see if it really fits my style. Tho not all games are good to begin so gamers have a hard times picking games to play so usually they stick their usuals.
But here, Elden Ring is that kind of game that has indeed a large learning curve being a souls game, but proved to be beginner friendly and new to the franchise players friendly. So those other people that tag themselves as "gamer" but only has the mentality to just write reviews by only watching YT clips without having even the slightest patience of playing the actual game are just the bandwagon type people.
Want to try a new game to add to your gaming collection as a pure gamer but game is hard? There are lots of guides and tutorials out there that can help, there's the even in-game tutorial if you're paying close attention. Bu if people don't even bother with that, then they can't be truly called a "gamer" in that sense. They just simply play it. Play and forget. A true gamer always comes back.

Lost both my parents about 8 years ago, accidentally stumbled upon quantum TV's review one day, was devastated the part when he said "Elden Ring is for people who doesn't have a family", i mean i enjoyed the game and was just looking around to see what others think about it, not to get personally attacked.

Elden Ring is my first From Software game ever. I was completely new to this type of game. Yes, it was hard and there was a learning curve. I died many times thinking I could just be like a Skyrim main character and kill everything easily. But, I learned and got used to the difficulty. Studying the different moves and counters to enemies I discovered. I love the game. It’s awesome and I wish that I would’ve played all the other games that came before this one. I might play Elden Ring at least 10 times and start with each class once! Then I’ll eventually go back and play the others. Elden Ring completely blew me away and I still haven’t beat it yet. Just exploring the world and not know what lies around a corner is thrilling to me. I got the game a couple of days ago and have been completely obsessed with it
Same here, First game like this for me. Sometimes I want to hurl the controller against the wall, which is something I have never experienced before in game. It’s not a bad thing, you have to earn everything in this game.
Stiff Veggetation, Outdated UI,story telling through item text, Yet your're blown away?? You Bootlickers are a bunch of clowns.
Same here.. kinda.
I started with sekiro but that was wayyy too hard for me. I didnt make it much further past the first giant.
But with elden ring i beat margit without giving up and even exploring the rest of the map to level up.. and went on to beat godrick the same way.
Now im almost at the end i think.
edit: i finished elden ring and went back to play sekiro, i beat lord genichiro, the game is becoming easier, i think ive gitten gud.
Same, it’s been a blast
Yeah man this game is awesome. The sad thing (and a good one too, of course) is that Elden Ring is a quintessence of other souls games and their good game design choices which means some of them are not in Dark Souls 3 or Dark Souls 1 or Sekiro, etc. And it's really sad cuz once you play a new souls game it really makes playing other games uncomfortable :( I've beaten every Fromsoft game many times except Demon's Souls and I could only imagine how hard it would be playing Dark Souls 3 without a normal jump or doing actions on A and not Y. But all these things aside, I am happy for you to get accustomed with Elden Ring, it's a great game, wonderful game series and I wish you all the best luck to explore and enjoy it!
It’s a shock to anyone who hasn’t played souls games, but the difficulty just adds to the payoff in a nutshell that’s the appeal along with the atmosphere and lore.
Different games are made for different audiences that want different gaming experiences... wow... what a shocking revelation.
The thing about Margit being hard is that I feel like he's not the "tutorial" boss. He's The first major boss of the first area, that area being all of Limgrave (south included).
I agree, I went and did literally anything else for the first 20-30 hours.
When I faced Margit I was super scared but it ended up as a walk in the park as I entered that fight way to overleveled.
Even if they cam't beat him directly, could alway do what I did:poison him and wait for it to whittle him down. Not an honorable win, I know, but my point is if you can't win 1 way, just find another.

Basically him
Honestly that’s my biggest issue peoples “opinions” can’t just be opinions they have to be facts that they will defend to their dying breathe and if you disagree your wrong but don’t attack me it’s just my opinion.
The literal only point I agreed with is that most of the people who played ER already had experience with fromsoft games/soulslikes. We already had experience with the play style, and knew what to expect and how it works. It’d be pretty jarring having zero clue what you’re in for before jumping into something like elden ring. Especially for people who only really play FPS games or the sorts. I couldn’t imagine what it would’ve been like going into it with no knowledge. I went into ER after dumping 500+ hours into DS2 (and less than 10 hours of DS3) and it was an absolute cakewalk.
Ive been streaming Elden ring recently, and i can say that the Elden ring community has some of the nicest people, who are dare i say eager to help out with info and support. They love the game and it shows. Very welcoming.

Hey Asmon i was wondering if i can get some tips on how to have a good build
If my girlfriend can overcome the difficulty of Elden Ring, anyone can. Might sound like I'm trashtalking my gf a bit, and it's true to an extent, but the fact is she is mechanically terrible at video games, and every time she gets stressed, she forgets all the controls and just blindely panicpress the buttons. After being stuck at Gatefront ruins for a little over an hour, she declared the game was not for her, and she stopped playing, until a few hours later, when she came back and managed to get through it. That was the moment she started to get really into it. She still struggles, and has a hard time on a lot of the bosses, but she is doing it, and I was honestly convinced that she would never like the game before she gave it a try. So I say again, if she can do it, anyone can.
Tell your girlfriend than an internet stranger is congratulating her
Your girlfriend’s a champion man, she panics but still manages to win against the bosses, absolutely great 👍

17 hrs into the game, enjoying so much after getting burned out from gacha game for more than a year. Yes the controls are hard to master and have to change key bindings since I'm on pc. The only bad UX I could find (so far) is when you pick loot a dialogue appears and you have to click ok(E) to remove it.
I absolutely love how difficult FromSoft games are. It means that when I get stuck on a hard boss, the next day at work it festers in my mind and i become determined to beat that asshole when I get off and most of the time when I do get home, I end up destroying them eventually and IT FEELS AMAZING
