“Elden Ring Nightreign - We Played It!” | Aztecross Reacts

[@phasedthrough3647]

Got so hyped until the load bearing “reacts” was read😔

[@wyattkingery6427]

It looks like it will play a lot like risk of rain 2

[@carswan21]

A man of culture

[@alexny04]

Basically. Risk of Rain 2 is basic rougelike while having it's own spin. Risk of Rain just being known for having super chaotic gameplay where anything can happen from being super busted and one-shotting everything to getting destroyed by one attack from a Brass Contraption. I love ROR2's gameplay loop and seeing that Elden Ring is following a similar path is nice. Sadly everyone see's Fortnite first when seeing Nightreign.

[@Kastor0311]

"Not particularly crazy about ign guys". Those little subtle comments like that are why you're my favorite game guy.

[@RuiNDieM1988]

It seems like an interesting mix of Remnant and rougelike features. I'm definitely gonna try it out

[@TsukiKhodar]

The story progression of elden ring is what drove me, I wanted desperately to know what was going on. If this doesn't have story it will become an 'only play with friends game' for me

[@edruth6223]

That's like, the whole point of this game lol

[@bedopskepop7936]

Whilst I’m a little dissapointed it won’t be a story game. I am definitely still excited

[@ForTheViolence]

There will be story, they said all the playable characters will have there own backstories. And to be honest souls games have always been lore heavy as opposed to in your face narrative. I’m sure we will get plenty of lore.

[@aarona5111]

Is all loot shared? Because I'm not really interested in competing with my teammates for upgrades.

[@Yaposaurus]

Imagine you got done killing the radagon wolf on the second night just for 621 to show up on the third

[@codymiller4119]

Yeah you really got me hyped I thought we were going to get to see you a round played but it's just the same reaction to the same video I've watched 50 times now

[@lancethibodeaux16]

Ngl. The music ticking in the background was driving me insane before I realized what it was at the end of the video.

[@clintonchico9547]

I wish I could play games like this. They are so beautiful. I just can't gain emersion when I'm raging over mechanics.

[@iammiist]

i actually used to feel the same. I bought elden ring around 2 years ago with the new years sale but i never really got into it until a few weeks ago when i had nothing to do but trust me, it's 100% worth it. Watch like 1 episode of a guide to help and then take it from there.

[@GreatBeaux]

As a pvpr in the series, night reign is a giant slap in the face. We’ve been dealing with ridiculous PvP for almost 3 years now & it’s so simple to fix but, they come out with a whole rogue like excluding PvP even longer? I love all parts of the game, that’s what it takes to PvP. I’m excited for more Elden ring but, very out of pocket idea.

[@kenpachi2607]

It sounds more like a boss rush type game with rogue like mechanics.

[@FilthxSpewer]

I love how Elden ring added the colosseum for the pvp community. Look, I love leveling and getting sick new ashes of wars and using them on NPCS but it gets stale. I like how you can have the option for a competitive edge testing endless strategic builds on other players. I don’t think many realize how many there are within the souls pvp community. even though the game is not “targeted” as a pvp game. I hope they implement something like the colosseum for this game or future fromsoft games

[@Sorenno]

i just hope people dont get their expectations too high, as they stated its not life service so its more like once you beat all 8 bosses its done maybe. and you can do some more for fun. Important will be the pricing then.

[@SSIKBuLLeT]

Im excited about the game, but this has that feel of Corporate "Hey ghis IP is really popping off maybe a BR like game would go well here."

[@jmsanderson]

The solo and trio is for matchmaking. Having all three would result in much slower games as pairs would be unavailable from each other. This way everyone can play together instantly

[@saithvenomdrone]

I am so ready for NeightReign. Sometimes I just don't want to commit to a 40 hour playthrough for the 10th time. And it is even harder to get my fiends to want to do the same. But NightReign is going to be great for scratching my Souls itch, but at a much more snack size play session.

[@Jwebbplayz]

Man, I remember I went to the office and printed off sheets for all the secret bosses & thru the nights with a highlighter I got every one of them.

[@SirTaco97]

Seems like it’ll be a blast. A rogue-like souls game sounds great. I love games like that and it should be great with friends.

[@BahamutNexus]

it literally sounds likes Ravenswatch in elden ring's universe which has me really hyped tbh

[@KiloSix0ne]

That’s what I thought too ironic because I just started playing ravenswatch

[@AnonymityIx]

Attacking a downed teammate is going to need some explanation or I'm going to think that's stupid no matter how easy and convenient it is. Why would hitting an ally get them up? The only explanation in my head is getting killed by an ally doesn't cause the same effect so you can respawn as opposed to getting killed by these nightreign enemies which maybe capture your soul or something.

[@411vs]

The coop mod still scales the bosses with the amount of players so it wasnt a case of its easier

[@gamerclips1882]

Is this Elden rings version of an extraction game?

[@Fubbernutt]

Just let us duo at the trio scaling tbh. Sure it'll be a little harder but when has that ever stopped us

[@BLkamaji]

Coop Elden Ring is the only way I have ever played Elden Ring.

[@okami1272]

Yeah… I think the ER milking is going a bit too far here… Might be time to work on a new one, From Software.

[@RedOfFlames]

What the hell mod is this guy on about co-op literally exists in the base game, that’s what summons are for

[@mepevy]

But what do you do when you have mastered the 8 bosses? What’s the end game? It won’t take the community long to conquer this and if they aren’t adding new bosses or new characters then that’s it I guess 🤷‍♂️

[@nilesrodriguez4343]

So wait, feiendly fire is a thing in this game? This game is gonna be hella chaotic lol I still need to get SOTE and im NGL I'm way more interested playing through that then Nightreign

[@Xtraflossy]

Ive co op'd every sould going back to 2009 lol. Truly is the best way to play😅 for a scrub like me. Given Demon Souls and the like i easily had 1000 hours in with made more then the 4 available builds, id always bug my friends when it came world 5, such a raunchy place.

[@theeternalslayer9513]

0:45 can't on console, but I had an ABSOLUTE blast fighting bosses with my friends, fighting Mogh and him going balls deep on my friend while I try to get agro, Radagon casually falling over from me and my friends slapping him, and even fighting Bayle and not living long enough for my friends/I to walk through the door. Absolutely love it

[@halfbreed387]

Why do people keep crying about the titles and thumbnails being "miss-leading"...... its not that deep.

[@mikew6554]

I played through co-op Elden Ring solo and preferred it to the vanilla unmodded version just because I could turn off invasions. The most annoying aspect of fromsoftware games.

[@ernestyorgesen3330]

I’m so mad you didn’t play

[@DeathsPit00]

Sounds like Elden Battle Royale in a PvE setting. Im not into BRs at all, but I like Elden Ring so we'll see.

[@silk3sm00th]

Getting kinda meh vibes about this, honestly

[@LordCrota]

They should be letting Gameranx do stuff like this IGN is bad for press because literally everybody fucking despises IGN

[@treytrey2317]

"Tormentors!"

[@fitzpat35]

Honestly I'm super excited about this game just because it's elden ring even if it's different it is still a fromsoft game and has always come through making fantastic games and it may not be like the original base game but it's still going to be a fun game I can tell

[@Redactedlllllllllllll]

Didnt know IGN needed a trigger warning.

[@TheCosmicGhost]

I never played a souls like bc I heard that they are hard and tbh I wasn’t wanting that kind of grind BUT my buddy who also didn’t play any asked me to do co op with him for our first experience. And let me tell you HE WAS ASS lmfao I carried hard asf and I’m not going to lie it was harder with his garbage ass but it opened my eyes. I ended up going to max new game plus after he was done on our first run. I love builds and that game was just perfect did the dlc alone and man I had so much fun. Until around NG+5 around there everything got hard still fun but just changing builds that I had no experience with were over I had to go to ole reliable. Anyway it open my eyes to a new type of game and have been debating playing all the others but I hear there isn’t as much build variety as in Elden ring and that’s honestly what I loved so much about Elden ring.

[@pizzahunter69]

Why do people say it's like a rogue like?

[@Prominence237]

To be fair cross Elden ring was not very hard(personal opinion compare to previous souls games). I think I died only 10 time first play though.

[@BahamutBreaker]

Shrinking map circle as a primary core gameplay mechanic? No thanks. Pass.

[@AwokenLion]

Ngl, that’s not Soulslike - does sound interesting though

[@tanyadavies265]

Ha ha kicking ur team mate when he is down to revive him now thats alarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dylanlopez6202]

Hell yeah

[@jumpingMS]

When I heard "appeal to masses" and that you have set characters. I lost my interest, seem like a game for casuals

[@procrastinationincarnate6416]

I'm so hype for this

[@gdson2904]

Elden ring strikes before gta 6 is seriously wild...

[@Youknowwhoiambro]

League of legends meets Fortnite?

[@slylucifer504]

I think it's gonna be good

[@FaytTheXpert]

Hoped more for a you roped yourself video

[@r1lovin]

I was hyped until I found out it's a br style.

[@BrainWasherAttendent]

I’m t isn’t a BR lol

[@JulianCavett]

Eh…

[@TheRealAD45]

could be good, dont care for the co op bull shit tho

[@Zorojuro-3]

[@Killasim1]

Definitely not a game for me!!!

[@Fredible_Hulk]

This is a test game for an Elden Ring MMORPG …. Bet!

[@w4yne3d61]

I really think it doesn’t sound as good as the original. I can’t see this being a good experience with random teams

[@kingkordy]

Not for me. Sounds terrible

[@Takeshi_Oyasumi]

Warframe when?

[@ducky5326]

[@shinigami_0127]

THAT CENTIPEDE IS NOT NEW TF

Is it in Elden Ring?

​@@allthatishere it's a reference to the centipede demon from dark souls 1

@@kermitthefrog2578 I get what your saying, but as someone who's only played DS3, Sekiro, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring, it will be "new" to me. I'm sure this will be alot of people's first time facing it, as well.

[@eclips_total2215]

L take, worst take ever holy 1:07

[@dayhaven8442]

Straight up tho, its meant to be challenging for a reason. Fromsoft is known for that

[@johnys.f.3751]

Nah some ppl enjoy solo and some enjoy company so pick your poison

[@NoiresTots]

I think for forgot to say "take" fr Ong 🗿🗿🗿 The only thing seamless co-op does is make you not have to resummon your partner after they die and let's you go into dungeons without having to unsummon and resummon. Cross really just meant QoL wise

[@goth.bunny.]

You realize people can enjoy the same thing in different ways and that’s okay?

[@fitupan9474]

the difficulty in elden ring is set by how you play it, so you can still play coop and not overlevel, or not turbo upgrade weapons or stack buffs. if you want it to be challenging you can make it challenging even in coop

[@traveller2378]

Ah.. it has a closing cirlce. IT must be like Fortnite.. not like every battle royal. A true genius reviewer would know you must compare nightreign to fortnite. What a dummy.

[@allthatishere]

You sound hurt over such a simple comment. Just yikes, dude.

[@traveller2378]

@allthatishere is that what that is? Or is making fun of a bad review? You sound dumb.

[@traveller2378]

[@Ty-wf6mg]

Not a fan of how FS is milking Elden Ring. Should have ended with SOTET.

[@cameronsalmon1314]

I still think that there’s untapped potential with many story elements. But I completely understand the burnout, we could definitely use a new a game.

[@chickenjimmy6552]

When should Dark Souls have ended? Because this is the second elden ring game with one dlc. Do you think that DS2 should've ended the DS series (no scholar or dlc)?

[@StrawberrySinju]

I think "milking" is the wrong word, this is the second thing they've made for the game which is definitely not enough to be considered milking especially given the fact that they aren't just making the game with just copying and producing slop

[@jonathonbridges9625]

Its not milking it, so many people wanted seamless coop ER and without a doubt just many wouldnt even fool with it because of the difficulty+time invested.

[@Bull625]

Nah they're not milking it. This is only the second thing they've done with the IP. The dlc was going to happen like every other soulsborne game they've made and this is an immediate follow up to elden ring in a fun twist. Saying it's being milked is way to early. Darksouls had 3 games and no one said anything about it being milked. Sounds to me you're just tired of soulsborne. And that's fine. There are other games to play.
