Elden Ring Ep1 || Play it Forward

[@tainted.487]

I love that Graham stayed and watched for a bit. I like how into this game everyone is. Thanks for the video!

[@bunnarchist]

This will almost certainly take the record for the longest play it forward

[@bunnarchist]

Both the series and I think this episode, don't think we've had an 8 hour play it forward?

[@LtSMASH324]

Definitely the longest

[@robertabugelis3962]

Already watched Live and/or the VoD. Just spending the love on the KZbin's. Thanks for the spoiler free play through. Truly an amazing feat.

[@arnepeeters7663]

Character creation is finished/game starts at 29:22

[@erikbowers0776]

I wasn't sure what this game co-op would look like, but I knew I would adore every minute of Adam and Wheeler and I was right! This has been nothing short of spectacular, thank you both so very much!

[@EternalDensity]

Battle-hardened Waluigi: "Wah. Wah never changes."

[@Phished123]

Me: "Hes just making old snake if he decided to start dying his hair" Adam: "we're just making Snake Pliskin, this is just Solid Snake.."

[@timeskip0300]

This is everything!! I'm not good at souls games but love watching the game play! And Wheeler and Adam are a awesome duo

[@qwertyman1511]

Reach Heaven Through Violence

[@Ravanstrike2009]

So excited! I'm only 35ish hours in and it's an amazing game, cant wait to see where they go

[@Rabhadh-RhymesWithJava]

Otaku Jeff looks like if Disco Elysium and Final Fantasy IX had a baby, and I love him. He looks like he smells bad.

[@btbwilkinson]

130 hours in, having obtained 4 endings and the game is a 10. They knocked it out of the park.

[@JoyfulAmalgamation]

"It's like if Solid Snake was cosplaying David Bowie" Me: Is there Knife on Mars, thank you for reading my joke.

[@sankethbhaskar4236]

Cries in Nintendo Switch Also Cries in Busy Student b/c damn I wish I could watch PIFs more

[@kilo3989]

That intro demonstrates that Adam does not have proficiency in plate mail. :P I hope Elden Ring is as good as the hype suggests!

[@LtSMASH324]

I am nearing 100h, yes it's very good.

[@aonarfaileas4554]

Waited until I'd had the chance to play most of Elden Ring myself before watching this, real excited to see it though. If Adam likes the weapon art on the Uchigatana he's going to love Moonveil. :P

[@evanvandeneinde7095]

Id love it if at all possible to be able to see both perspectives.

[@mikelegault9344]

Mother’s milk in a cup! Otaku Jeff looks like Uno! (From wheel of time that is.)

[@red250reiven]

Yessss. I'm all for this

[@godofthunder4242]

The opening justified the whole 8+ hour video. ^_^ Adam is so much fun.

[@TalosParoxi]

speaking of control schemes, remember when that guy beat dark souls with a guitar hero controller?

[@andrewsolis3349]

55:48 good call adam

[@Antimuffin]

Incredibly excited for this. :-)

[@dustinarmistead8468]

is there anywhere to watch wheelers gameplay

[@bigwig8657]

I love this LRR take on groundhog day.

[@GetGoodCheesecake]

Rip Roger

[@supersaddemon]

Hajime no ippo??? HAJIME NO IPPO, HE KNOWS ABOUT IT. I knew he was a man og good tast, man did that make my day.

[@Kalateth]

I love Bens comment of " Why don't you pick on... No Not Me!"

[@razzKey]

HERE WE GO BAYBEEEEEEEEE

[@64Tonstar]

You need to give jump attacks a go. I've been playing samurai almost exclusively jump attacking enemies to stun and then unloading on them to inflict bleed.

[@AmritaZardor]

I saw the sign. It opened up my eyes I saw the sign.

[@angrywizard3199]

Jeff looks like hed be played by J.K. Simmons forever

[@emmettenglish1537]

Otaku Jeff for Prime Minister

[@vegas_party_animal7737]

Was that one guy they talked to wearing Santas’ hat and coat?

[@marvinnovelo5410]

"I'm alive......no I'm not" lol

[@zacheryfrasier672]

Well I know what I'm doing the next 8-9 hours

[@WhisperingWinds0]

8 hours episode 1? Oh damn....

[@Arrowatch]

PSA put your summon sign on a flat open surface

[@ghostware6057]

I know nothing about Souls games, but I'll watch Wheeler and Adam play just about anything, especially if it's something this interesting 😁

[@evanvandeneinde7095]

Welp, now I'm torn. Watch my two favourite boys run this game or play it myself. In the immortal words of a cute little Latino girl. "Porque no los dos?"

[@vegas_party_animal7737]

Isn’t it obvious what that tree is Adam it’s Boseiju, who Endures. Your character is even a samurai for crying out loud 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@StapleCactus]

Just watching the beginning to see if it's going to be a good game to play for me. Looks like they took the time to explain at least enough to make you interested in whatever the Elden Ring is, but not why you should be going after it. I don't want to watch too much more in case it is good, though. I might pick it up some day and try it, but Bloodborne really turned me away from this developer because of the complete lack of information given to make a player care. Basic questions I'd like answered: Where are we? Is this Earth? Some other universe? Why does it look like death? What is a "tarnished"? Are we like a zombie or something since we were brought back from death? What does the Elden Ring do? Is it an actual powerful artifact, or a made up one that humans decided had power, like a king's crown? And I don't want these answers, this lore, in a wiki or buried in the menu system. I want the game to tell me itself. Bloodborne was explained to me as "Oh, you have to complete the game multiple times and get the true ending to understand anything, or just read the wiki." Nope, not worth my time.

[@godofthunder4242]

If you want a story that is told linearly to you without digging into the objects you pick up and inferring stuff then FromSoft is just not a game maker for you. That's just not how they tell stories.

[@StapleCactus]

@@godofthunder4242 I read the descriptions of items I collect, but inferring things means you could be wrong. I hate being wrong, so I try to avoid that. It makes me feel like an idiot. It's like reading a poem in class and the teacher goes "What do you think the author meant?" After you give your interpretation, she says "Wrong! He meant the disillusionment of man's folly!" or something really out of left field.

[@keylometers6342]

@@StapleCactus it sounds like you had a bad English teacher then, the thing about poems and vague stories like the ones from soft likes to tell there is no "correct awnser" and that's okay

[@StapleCactus]

@@keylometers6342 My favorite one was the "I walk through the valley of the shadow of death" poem and the teacher said I was wrong when I interpreted it as "he was walking... in a valley... of death. You know, dead bodies on the ground?." I take writing literally and she didn't like that. I told her if the author wanted me to think a certain way, he should have written it to not be vague. And there should definitely be a correct answer. If I have to figure out the ending is either "You were consumed with madness" or "You became a benevolent ruler", I'm going to go with the second option. When people then tell me I didn't "understand" the ending, I'm going to feel like an idiot. It's why I avoid "word of god" interviews, because I'm not about to let the creator tell me how the story should have gone if he didn't take the time to make the story clear in his work in the first place. You don't get to tell people how to interpret your work after publishing it. It's a dick move to make some of your audience feel dumb. But anyway, thank you for explaining From Software's stance on storytelling. It's a shame I'll never play these games everyone seems to enjoy.

[@nox9856]

You could try another souls-like game, From Soft has spawned an entire industry for these types of games, perhaps another souls like might spark your interest? Another Souls-like that comes to mind is Nioh. I don't know much about it, but perhaps you might find the story telling more to your liking? Edit: grammar
