Asmongold Reacts to "Elden Ring is More Than Big Dark Souls" | By VaatiVidya

Asmongold watches a video by VaatiVidya who breaks down what we know so far about the upcoming FromSoftware game Elden Ring, made by the same developers of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro and Demon's Souls. The new Elden Ring trailer reveal left many to wonder about the game but of all the new features coming Asmongold is certainly more interested about the ability to use mounts!
Original Video: • ELDEN RING is More Tha... (Elden Ring is More Than Big Dark Souls)
Check out to VaatiVidya: / @vaatividya
Elden Ring is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game is a collaborative effort between game director Hidetaka Miyazaki and fantasy novelist George R. R. Martin and is scheduled for release on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

I actually played Bloodborne and plat trophied it right before i played DS3 so after Orphan of Kos, nothing in Dark Souls 3 was really a challenge until i got into the DLCs.. Midir and Gael took me quite a few tries

[@krolltheknight]

I think an easy way to keep having bosses remain difficult is too just boost boss aggression based on how many bosses you've killed.

[@mercerholt8299]

I personally also feel like maybe some bosses should have different weapons and movements depending on what bosses are still alive or dead. Example maybe you adventure a lord who can summon some retainers, but only if those retainers other lords are already dead.

[@dunkirito8308]

Asmons chat is filled with degenerates.

[@CMcGee23]

No other fantasy writer of his level has thrown away their legacy for $ and attention. Tolkien, Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, even Steven King are real artists who took their work seriously and their stories will last much longer. GRRM is a sellout and has no artistic integrity. People will forget about Game of Thrones like every other TV fad because he prioritized the TV show over the real story and now it's just cheap and no one cares. Even people like me who read all the books and were waiting for winds of winter until it was obvious he didn't know what he was doing. Dude wasted all of our time telling us a great set up and a shit ending, he is trash.

[@wazzle552]

@@CMcGee23 Yeah last dudes right, George's written work is quite good, and lead to the very successful first 4 seasons.

[@mdmatt2632]

Out of curiosity, what’s so special about Dragon’s Dogma day/night cycle?

[@hisholiness4537]

Dragon's Dogma has better gameplay tho. Not bashing From, their combat is usually perfect for what it tries to do, but Dragon's Dogma's is so complex yet so simple, and deep, that they just can't be compared. DD's nights are incredibly dark, and much more dangerous enemies roam the land at nighttime.

[@gragalakaisel1477]

@@hisholiness4537 I think it’s because DD’s combat is faster. also the climbing part and also more skills. I like both tho. The beauty of DS/BB/Sekiro combat is you feel like actually fighting someone. You can’t just go head on with the enemy while DD’s is like being bruce lee fighting 10 enemies constantly and yet untouched lol

[@philmehrart]

Soulsborne titles have been some of the best gaming experiences I had in the past few years, full of addictive gameplay and rich lore and art. The only From game that never seemed to take for me was Sekiro, but will have to give it another try. Thinking Elden Ring will be the culmination of all they've done so far in something awesome, looks pretty impressive already.

[@turtleanton6539]

[@JayPeeh455]

Sekiro is a different style and gameplay, but its SO good when u finally catch the controls

[@MiriBON]

The day and night cycle, and enemies/quests being dependent on that, has been around since TLoZ - Majora's Mask, which was basically designed around that concept entirely :)

[@Clipsforyou2u]

Man, you really have great points when discussing anything concerning souls, I like that

[@StivoxiusPrime]

"like a necromancer" asmon clearly never heard of a conjurer or summoner xD

[@AcidW]

if you summon those you defeat, are you really a conjurer?

[@wiseferret4745]

Well, a necromancer is just a wielder of death magic, like how a pyromancer is a wielder of fire magic, or a cryomancer is a wielder of ice magic. Conjuration is the art of making something out of nothing, and summoning means taking something far away and bringing it to you. The pot boy would be a familiar. Maybe you can summon it, but you can't conjure it, and necromancy may not even work on it if it's a spirit.

[@Boqueelis]

I feel like if you wanted to use that backflip on a fume knight sword or some shit, it would take a lot of stamina and that’s how they would balance it

[@combatrobot1443]

What I'm expecting is there will be certain skills that can only be equipped to a few weapon classes. Like maybe the backflip slash can only be equipped to Curved Swords, Straight Swords, Curved Greatswords, and Greatswords, and that's it. Or maybe there's like a reskin of the Gundyr Halberd's Champion Charge that can only be equipped to Spears, Halberds, and Reapers. That sort of thing.

[@DASCSWEM]

@@combatrobot1443 This was my guess too but so far nothing has been said that would imply that it’s limited to classes. I guess it really just needs to look fluid with the animations and not be too overpowered of a combo. The backflip slash in the trailer is obviously the latter (backflip) part of the Old Wolf Curved Sword from DS3. It’s basically the same animation but one handed, so I’m guessing it would look kind weird to do that move with like a greathammer or something

[@Unf0rget]

That botw conundrum man. How do you have the world escalate, not even in difficulty just in keeping pace with the player, when anywhere could be the players first stop? You either just have a static curve that players can deviate from at their own peril or challenge, or you design like 5-6 difficulty versions of each boss/enemy to be activated based on where the player is on completion. You can't just scale damage either because the speed and complexity of attacks and mechanics are what players are learning to deal with, not how hard it hits. You could have a basic enemy one shot but it would still be easy as fuck to deal with and unfair if the player ever slips up.

[@banuner_]

There will likely be a soft rubberbanding system where certain areas will be harder if done first but not impossible. Think going to the Catacombs as your first area in Dark Souls for reference.
