The video they're reacting to was kind a weird choice. For example why was there like 5 minutes of showcasing the pointless hidden walls at the end?

It's good for an open world, it's a very pretty game. It's the worst game by fromsoft I've played. I didn't enjoy any of the bosses as boss fights, they look very good but they weren't very fun to fight against.

@@theresnothinghereatall I think DS3 had some of the best bosses in the series, they are hard but not too hard and the flow of combat was just right. They're not constantly spamming abilities nor so passive that you have to play the waiting game.

@@ruldelgado1091 They extended the standard attack chains of every weapon archetype in the game, and then added several brand new archetypes with heavy thrusting swords, twinblades, flails, greatspears and light bows, and THEN allowed unique dual wielding movesets via power-stancing for every single weapon in the game; ffs you can dual wield halberds, they don't even have to be the same weapon so long as they're the same archetype. Pile ashes of war and inherent weapon arts on top of all that, and I'm just not sure how much more you wanted.

I’m a bit tired of seeing so many folks say “all Developer should strive for this level of detail“. I think that’s a poor way to look at video games as a form of art and expression. I think it’s equivalent to saying every single restaurant should strive to be fine dining. Variety is what makes the industry special.

[@SnowyGrass]

the only problems i have with variety is that supposed AAA games can be riddled with bugs and microtransactions even when you bought the game at the full $60. ill give indie games a pass since they usually only have a few people working on the game, but when you have a huge team there is no excuse.

[@Technique2937]

Agree with you, I think that every developer should strive to reach the maximum potential of their skills and expand on what they know much like how FromSoftware got into the Open world criteria with the Dark souls design and made Elden ring.

[@2yoyoyo1Unplugged]

@Darth Redbeard I don’t think the Ubisoft formula is even shitty; I think it has its advantages and can work for some games. It should NOT be a template for EVERY open world game. That’s a more reasonable critique in my opinion.

[@BlueAsterismSolstice]

It's always such a difficult conversation to get into talking about souls games and Elden Ring with people who don't play it, because it always jumps back to "it's hard", "it's difficult", or "it can be pretty challenging", but fundamentally it's its own sort of simplistic by learning its logic, but there's a colorful pallet of ways to go about it. Pretty much everything goes in the long run, but some little things are more effective than others by situation. Something neat is that even if you lack the torch for that fight, the developers made sure you could tell where they were by the water splashing, and making them more revealed on being hit. Then the reward for that particular boss was an item that also makes you more stealthy. All the little things you might think suck to have to endure, you are able to unleash also, and if you're not spec to use it you also get an option for respec or level to grow into it. I've done 3 palythroughs of Elden Ring so far just trying for different ending and different options.

[@dnlkr]

18:45 There are easy modes, but they're built into the game. Some builds are easier to pilot, some weapons are much stronger (Arcane Rivers of Blood build), Summoning significantly cuts the difficulty, either NPC summons or player summons. Magic is also, famously in Souls, the easier way to play the game since it tends to allow attacking at a range, with some degree of safety, and still hitting really hard.

The answer to “does this game have an easy mode” I think is more complicated than a yes or no. There are builds and guides that turn you into an absolute god who can steamroll the game with minimal challenge. But like they said, you need to go in with the knowledge that such a build even exists. So the answer to “does the game have an easy mode” is, technically no, but a magic build with a video guide can change that.

It's not that it's necessarily hard. It just doesn't tell you which way to go or any kind of direction other than "to tree". So it is really ez to stumble onto bosses or enemies you aren't ready for yet. Especially the first main boss in this game.

Most people, including myself took a bit to do that.

There is no easy mod in FS games however they give tools to help you, even more in Elder Ring. In fact in Elder Ring, you can become stronger just exploring the world, you will always find something you can do even if you have some trouble at the beginning , there is a lot of objetc to buff your character, ect. If you don't give up you'll learn and play better ;) You can summon, you can have the help from another player(like the other games except sekiro).... And for me the way the difficulty is set up in a game made to be "tough" is not the same as a game were you have to push the diffculty bar in the options menu.

[@Dieci-9]

I really like how they explain and discuss about stuff. The only thing I don't agree with is the idea that to fight the invisible assassin boss they said to put a note near the boss or something (like an NPC) near it, that's really not what the game is going for. The game is very open-ended outside of the main plot and it's completely fine to go do a boss, be mercilessly annihilated by it, give up, explore and come back later (even tens of hours later) when you're better levelled\equipped or came by the intel that helps beat the boss. It's also very jarring, I know it's a game but finding a boss and the mean to kill it so close is a bit cheap, which is why I also not really like how the devs put the Serpent-Killer Sword right next to the Rykard fight. I'd loved it more if the ghost NPC warned us about a place where we can find it. It'd have been even more of an adventure, like finding some relic that's specific to kill this one enemy but having to put some work for it rather than it just being there on the left of the boss room entrance (even though, they made it make sense lore-wise).
