Elden Ring Is Just A Video Game

[@Watchfire.]

🔥🔥Exciting news, everyone! If you loved this video, you won't want to miss out on my latest tribute featuring the incredible Shadow of the Erdtree DLC! 🌟 I've poured even more heart and soul into this one, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts.

I can not even imagine that is possible… but I’m gonna take a look at it ❤️

[@FeedWithMeat]

You really tried. And i really appreciated it, but it is not even near to this video. You created a masterpiece here. And it is just really hard to top that. I showed this video to a lot of people. Some played Elden Ring, some not. Everyone was stunned by it and just loved it. This video was just absolutly amazing. It will be a mountain to claim for a new project to top that. I wish you all luck in the world to achieve that, but your DLC video seems to not do that. Still no reason to give it up. Keep up your good work and always try to get better. Thats the best advice I can give you. Love your work and be excited to see your future work!

[@nojo2410]

Lol MGS 3 is his masterpiece and I don’t think he will ever surpass it. Deathstranding is a game you either love or hate. To me it was a boring walking simulator with a silly story. Kojima honestly needs somebody to reign him in as when he has full creative freedom you get nonsense like deathstranding.

[@happilu6092]

for me it felt like as I would have left the cave in Breath of the wild. When u hear the music for the first time and see the kingdom for the first time. It was the exact same feeling when I left the cave in elden ring and saw the ruined church in the forest and the guard riding the horse

[@moggye2261]

I remember last month when I finally beat Elden ring and malenia. I felt empty for days every game I tried to play was boring and uninteresting to me. Then I saw this video at 2 am one night and I understood that I just didn’t play a game I lived in it, I felt it, I called it home. I’m 37, trust me I have played countless games this was my first soul ever and I’ll never forget it. It was a gaming journey, the path of cross I needed to take to be complete as a player.

[@JareComFOME]

Elden Ring's story is so depressing, but there is somehow beauty on it, it is also really depressing to see how the demigods decayed so much, Miquella is in a coccon, General Radahn lost his mind to the scarlet rot, Morgott fights for a kingdom that despises him, and he also despises his own existence, Mohg decided to abandon his own brother and just accept that he'd be always a monster, so unlike Morgott he rejected the Erdtree, Malenia awaits for Miquella's return, even tho we know well that it is very unlikely that he'll return with a cure for the scarlet rot on Malenia (DLC may change this), Rykard, once a great man, became the Lord of Blasphemy, Godfrey was such a respected Elden Lord, only to be banned from the Lands Between and lose the grace on him, and also having to see his son to die on his arms, Godrick... Godrick was always a coward, but things could've been different for him if Godwyn didn't get murdered, Rennala seems to be very depressed, Marika is trapped inside the Erdtree, the Greater Will is ashamed of her acts, and you, the tarnished, also decays, you become Elden Lord at the usual ending, but once you revisit some places and think about it, you realize that you've lost everyone who was there for you in the very beginning of your own journey, you realise that mainly on the roundtable hold, where everyone goes missing after some time... Some following their own journey, and others having their journey coming to an end. With that, you, tarnished, usually asks yourself if following the flame of ambition and becoming Elden Lord is really worth it, which, sure is since you're the hope of the Lands Between, but what about you? What is left for you? Once you think about it, you will realise that you may be Elden Lord, but in reality, you were always, and always will be... A lowly tarnished playing as Lord. Motivated by the flame of ambition, in search of the Elden Ring.

Well done. It’s difficult to draw out emotion from the viewer with a game that doesn’t tend to have long and expansive cut scenes that flesh out the story and characters but you’ve done a great job with what has been provided.

General Radahn, a warrior of honor, a true warlord that is capable of letting Malenia to put her prosthetic arm in the middle of a battle to give her the deserved fight they will have, while holding the stars above and caring about his horse... And then... Morgott, the best son a parent can wish, that despite his nature made him be pushed away from the family and erased from history, he remained inamovible until the end defending what he was told to respect

Ranni, chill smart the Tsundere. Morgott, just a bit behind his cousins in academics and physical sports.

That was the first Dark Souls for me. Watching everyone go hollow and give up on my first playthrough was such a genuine tragedy, and it sticks with me to this day. Not to mention the fact that one of the last videos one of my friends watched (before ending themselves), was of the DS3 ending where you light the fire, and are left alone, sitting beside it.

[@issamabbas2041]

certainly you're not alone, but here's some useful advice for you: this game genre is called rpg (roleplay games), some (but not all) of the best rpg's are: - skyrim (yes with all its bugs and critics its still the most popular rpg for a reason), - terraria (the best imho bc re-logic are just insanely good) - god of war - red dead redemption 2 and one extra not rpg it's buzzle game but it have a VERY heart warming experience and it's one of my and my son's favorites - portal 2 the above are not just games, they're an experience that you live

[@t5477]

I just love the Ranni Ending so much. Like the cutscene is so well executed and delivered, it succeeds the quality of a video game cutscene imo. The way Ranni turns to the camera (the player), the way she then steps towards us, allowing us to get a glimpse of her face underneath the hat. Then the way she sticks her hands out and the camera tilting, suggesting we just tilted our head and bow down at the same time. And lastly this masterpiece of a last side frame, where both hands approach each other with the perfect timed voiceline. God, i wish we could get an Elden Ring show, though i fear it could never be worthy of the game.

man i really love elden ring literally my favorite video game of all time, the moment i started i was horrified that i would suck then i found out that’s the point to understand the bosses and game mechanics to it. i remember beating those damn bird sword enemies and was literally jumping out of my chair lmao for something so simple. great video btw my man

General Radahn just gave me chills and total awe. after struggling for 30 levels with him his defeat was the most awe-inspiring sight. The butterflies had me then and there. The Strongest of the demigods, General Radahn the *Starscourge* .

I haven’t even watched this video, maybe I will, maybe I won’t, but I seen the thumbnail, and I just had to step in here…. Elden ring is not just a game, it’s a lifestyle. Anyone saying otherwise is maidenless AF

[@Watchfire.]

I 💯% agree Yes! It's by far the best game in the last 10 years. I hope for part two 🔥🔥

[@EchoedMemories]

This game is so incredible. As my first souls like. I was astounded by the story and the events that took place before and during the game. I'll never forget the feeling of beating my first real boss. My heart racing yelling "I can't believe I did it!" It changed something in my heart. Wich is so silly. But my patience has grown exponentially. And the way I look at hardships as well. And the game gave me hope in story telling. Story telling is so important. Thanks from soft.

I started this master piece almost a month ago on Xbox I have a little over hundred hours into it so far and have earned every achievement I have not had this much fun and interest in a game since Skyrim I see Elden ring as one of those games that even after every achievement I can still get on and enjoy it always something new to do it’s a beautiful game and deserves its place next to Skyrim

[@BlackMagik12]

What's wrong with you?! You gotta warn people before you pull on their heart strings and you should be ashamed of yourself for making me feel the feels so early in the day... but really though, well done on the overall great vid!

Thank you 🙏 the purpose of this video is precisely to make people feel how wonderful this game is.

[@Tripple_772]

This is my favorite game of all time. When I first played it was an extraordinary feeling. I’m playing the rest of the souls rn. Thank you Miyazaki your games helped me when I was in a very dark place. I’m very grateful… I can’t wait for the dlc to experience that feeling when I first played. Don’t you dare go hollow friends.

[@BounTYR]

this game was so much more to me than a game. Honestly, looking at the map after I beat the game was depressing, the capital destroyed, the Roundtable hold burning, everyone you met along the way dead, Melina dead. still can't get over it.

[@andyest5687]

Is it just a game? For me, no it has become a memory of both sadness and joy. The joy of finally being able to save the lands in between but sadness because that very person whom I want her to witness me becoming a lord and live to her will cannot and will not live without her purpose being fulfilled. It's as if my very existence is her own destined death she being the kindling to the flame of ambition. Melina made me feel losing someone I have never found. I only have one wish and that is to save her and make her from my maiden to my queen but for now I will wait until she comes back or until I finally meet my own destined death and for now I will live as I or we(tarnished) supposed to be maidenless tarnished, ladyless lord, queenless king only that now I have a will and that is to put back where destined death should belong. Anyways thnx for this man damn I really am consumed by this game XD

[@Watchfire.]

WOW! Thank you for your wonderful comment 🙏, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. This is the biggest comment i've ever had on the channel so far, you really love Elden Ring more than anyone i know. And you're right, it's not just a game, it's the game I'll be playing in 20 years with my children.

[@tommyherbertson8037]

I am 41 yo nowadays and therefore was one of the blessed people who grew up with the developement of videogames. Since I found my love for RPGs, I never found anything close to the game of my dreams, a leap into something new and own of its kind. Final Fantasy 7 showed me, that it is possible to create something which is bigger than life, The Elder Scrolls promised me near perfection but in the end it had to be Elden Ring to take the crown... i´m completely satisfyed now, this is the masterpiece, the game of my dreams

[@IzzyMann]

as a painter and a videogame lover, this game is more in both words, it is an absolute perfection of art and story telling

[@mr_blank4413]

Melina sacrified everything, and for what. a family that didn't love her, a mother who couldn't give her anything more. burnt as a child by the cruel world that she was born into, and burned once more trying to save it. I always imagine that if the tarnished who chose the frenzied flame as their guide had kept their sanity, all they would say to her is: "I saved you. thats all I wanted."

Coming back to this video after the Dlc dropped, no matter how hard this game was, it was never as harsh as my headspace when it released, and with the Dlc out I am now more thankful for the stories and characters birthed from this game and its franchises. 🎉

[@tickledpickle5671]

I can't help but to have this within the music. I tried to listen to it alone, and for some reason it... felt wrong. I replay this video, and it was back to good for me. Just goes to show how good the editing/experience in the video alone gave us. Well done. Around 4:20, you can actually hear several discordant chords And the fact they're going when Maelina is burning to burn the Erdtree. If that was intentional, then you hit that timing PERFECTLY. If not. Happy accidents happen too!

[@Watchfire.]

This game has created such a masterpiece of beauty within the darkness of a ruined world, and it’s so intricate that it has become a feeling I will search for time and time again. The first feeling of stepping out of a dark stone room, to the largest open world I have ever seen, filled with views all across my screen, literally bringing every fantasy to ACTUAL life has been such a crazy thing to experience. With the DLC just releasing, it has been sort of a replay, getting to experience the same absolute beauty once again for the first time.

It hasn't even been two years worth of playing Elden Ring yet, but I still experience hard nostalgia once I go back to Stormveil castle where I've been struggling to even defeat Margit.

[@sandy90272]

Elden ring had so many moments that caught my emotions by surprise. Saying goodbye to Melina, witnessing Maliketh's desperation, learning about Mogh's desire and the formless mother. There are more to count than I can do in one sitting. But finding Godfrey cradling Morgott made me cry pretty hard ngl i was really thankful to see evidence that at least one of his parents really cared for him especially since there is so much to suggest that the order his mother created would simply never accept him. I can only assume since there is so much that we don't know for sure but Godfrey was finally able to return and be a good dad to a child that needed love. Something about that always gets me, and makes me think about my Dad (he's not absent lol he just has a lot of compassion for people that need it). Finishing Elden Ring has me feeling hollow but it really was beautiful. I'm really looking forward to Shadow of the Erdtree.

[@pablo_cnt1162]

You know, what I find beautiful about these games is that even though the character isn't developed and doesn't have a story, we all recognize ourselves in them a little bit. Even though we can't compare our world to theirs, there's a part of it that resonates. You feel like you're fighting against everything and that ultimately, very few people are there to help you. In the end, failure and suffering are the real commonalities between us and the character. And ultimately, we're truly admiring of what our knight is. We'd all like to be like him. We feel like we see ourselves in this world.

[@SouvikMaity-wu2fd]

For me It started after I played Sekiro for the first time , to get that feeling I got into every souls game afterwards and elden ring is no exception. One of many lessons I got from souls game - Everything is possible even that seems impossible today.

[@mynameed7720]

What a privilege it is to be able to experience Miyakzaki and his staff's artwork with these games. Every time I relaunch a Dark Souls game, go through and play Elden Ring, it just makes me appreciate further the depth, attention to detail and raw amount of passionate to just create a memorable gaming experience. The amount of joy I felt staying up, pulling all nighters like a little kid with my best friend, us laughing and being in awe of the scale of Elden Ring, finding areas, bosses and items that weren't even available on the Elden Ring wiki yet, is a memory I'll carry to my grave when I look back on being happy and cherishing my friendship. Can only hope they continue to be allowed to have free range to carry out their designs without interference from publishers. June 21st cannot come any sooner!
