From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

[Zed Duke of Banville]

We need a git gud rating for this kind of post:

After Limgrave, the maps are so lame. Most of the monsters are not fun to fight at all. Zombies that grab you, bypassing blocking, have a shitload of hitpoints, and move in herds. Skeletons that explode. Octopi that can one shot you by a single grab. Eight legged skeleton spiders that attack 30 times in a row.

I think Elden Ring shows the natural limitations of From Software's design approach.

fits if you think the poster needs to demonstrate more effort, fortitude, and so forth.

fits if you think the poster is too accustomed to casualized or simplified games to handle it.

Or :D if you think Zed Doink of Banville rating every one of my posts as Popamole is amusing. Wonder if he is posting out of a mental institution.

I have found crafting in this game to annoy me more than entertain me. I just don't use half of the shit I can make. I would really rather pick up bits of lore but I don't think these fucking bugmen have anything to say tbh.

some of them are really good. like those holy water pots just absolutely destroy the death bird & those sleeping pots are also really handy AND ROT POTS!11

Ok, so what's the problem?
I mean, personally, I think he should be rating all of them as

or , but I see the argument for

Reading comprehension seems to be the problem if you ask me.

I agree. He clearly described why pretty much everything you post deserves the rating you say he's giving you.

You are trying too hard, mediocre, just like your buddy Zed Doink of Banville. Your combined tears are like nectar to my bidet.

Daily reminder that you died to Pinwheel

So did you. I am just not dumb enough to be afraid to admit it.

Sure. But how are you supposed to know what works on what guy? My main complaint (aside from performance) is this game has no bestiary. Is this dead thing really dead or just semi dead looking? I guess I will whack it with my holy sword. Nope does not work. Guess I will whack it with my magic sword. How many pots am I expected to waste figuring out what mob is weak to what element? Everything looks like tentacles. What do I use? Fire? No it uses fire. Rot? No it uses rot. Oh of course these tentacles are weak to POISON. I'm being retarded of course but the general feeling I get is I want someone to hold me while they tell me about the Shattering.

 

[Old Hans]

is this game has no bestiary.

I was just saying this to a friend the other day. It would have been perfect. I usually just test random crap on monsters. Although I still dont have a clue what is weak to magic.

Lmao, look who decided to show up again:



Didn't even bother to git gud, the scrub.

Just curious, but you're always circling him to your right. Personally I default to circling enemies to my left, to the point that just looking at you doing it feels completely unnatural. Are you left handed by any chance? Just wondering if there is a link.

Also, please post more videos, always fun to see people destroying bosses with no cheese.

This is interesting. I circle to the right also by default and I'm left handed. It never really occurred to me that other people might do the opposite.

Yeah going right for me is like driving backwards but I can do it. Maybe it's my dyslexia.

 

[Reever]

This looks fun. Perhaps they should introduce play by mail options to pvp.

Japan can't into netcode. Everybody that plays fighting games knows this.

Pinwheel called, says he misses you. Give him a call back will you, you're the only pussy he ever got after all, the poor fella.

You died to Pinwheel. Prove me wrong, sparky.

They do not even stack with spells, nevermind stacking with each other. If you use flame grant me strength you can't use any of the three buffs produced by the arteria leaf.

That's hilarious. It's cool though, I hate having fun anyway.

TBH, I've died on Pinwheel on a SL1 run before. I whiffed an attack and took a fireball at point blank range. A proud moment to be sure.

From Software games are literally games where players constantly die to regular mobs, and idiots like Di_X over here or NJCluck are desperately trying to shame me cause I died to a boss, lol? Either they are even dumber than I thought (which would be quite impressive), or in their gameplay approach, where they read up 20 online guides on every boss before facing them, adopt meta-approved builds, etc, they forgot what it's actually like to play games for ... fun. Oh well, can't fix stupid. :D

You autists are the ones coping, I am enjoying myself. See, I bring a normal person's perspective to From Software games. That might sting and make you seethe, but it is what it is.

Even just a directly usable buff item would be an improvement, I always made use of them when I found them in souls games but there's no way I'm going to bother looking for flowers to pick in ER's gigantic, crappy open world.

Also the specific flower shown in the video is used to craft attack power buffs that don't even stack with using something like Flame, Grand me Strength. Mmmh, waste hours of my life away picking shit in the open world, or level up faith to 15 and use the caster buff which I can use an infinite amount of times, a tough decision to make (I don't care if the consumable does better than the cast buffs, this is ridiculous nonsense).

Useless crafting materials are a staple of generic open world games, and From did exactly the same thing as every other developer - it populated the world with useless crafting shit. One more aspect bringing the game down.

Feeling slightly autistic by pointing it out, but if your opponent is holding his weapon in his right hand then you always want to circle to his left, (your right) as his range of swing will be lower that side due to the movement of his shoulder joint. Even more so if he's holding a shield in his left hand. I know it's probably different in games, but I've always followed that principle and at times it's seemed a real advantage.

That's a logical assertion. In Souls the two problems with that are: 1) the reach thing isn't always true and 2) counter-intuitively, you should really be dodging into an attack whenever possible.

The right strafe thing is more what feels natural to me and my monkey brain not allowing much deviation from that without me thinking about it.

It's just that particular animation. Looks like a placeholder. The others are pretty good and very fitting for a statue/golem type enemy.

As a boss they seem to provoke extreme butthurt occasionally based on browsing threads elsewhere. Not sure why. They leg thing is annoying but it's not a bad fight otherwise.

Especially considering how you can scramble them with the crystal darts.
