Yep. Elden ring and horizon both did great numbers sales wise so far but elden ring has surpassed every from game so far. I'm so proud of from coming from such a relatively niche backround prior to demons souls. The days of ninja blade are long past them

@@V-Jes do you even know what "insecurity" means?

[@ryanrivera5763]

@@V-Jes Nobody is insecure, it just brings to light a glaring problem with the game industry specifically with many developers from major gaming companies. They think they know best, when they've been producing the same generic copy paste games for the last 15 years that people are tired of. Their negative response to Elden Ring's success is and should be worrying to gamers who want innovation in their future games.

[@drawingpower1]

@@V-Jes A game developer for a company shouldn't get upset over another company's success and start crying about it on Twitter, especially when both games are good. It makes them and the company they work for look bad.

[@alexpatrick3309]

@@V-Jes I think those devs/companies got the exact response they deserved. When you speak on twitter like that and have the positions they have, it is basically coming from the company. They sounded like little kids who turned in a less impressive project and are upset everyone isn't gripped to what they brought in. I think they should have just taken it as a learning moment instead of crossing their arms and huffing about small things that don't take away from the experience of the game.

I spent the entire weekend getting killed by the Godskin Nobel in spirit callers cave.

[@Lasse3]

@@olicc weak build then. You need to Google the boss, see his dmg negation vs different types of dmg. Holy Fire Blood Physical Magic Etc You might be hitting him with a type of dmg that he is reducing by 80% My best advice is go dual wield twinblade, you can alternate between fire, lightning, holy, blood, poisen, Frost or pure physical dmg simply by switching ashes on your twinblades. This will make all the difference, having the correct type of dmg for each boss. Example being, Elden beast (the last boss) is immune to all status effects (blood loss, rot, frost, poisen) Insane negation of fire, lightning and magic. Hitting him with holy DMG actually heals him. The only dmg type that wont be completely negated here is pure physical dmg. Therefore you need quality, heavy or keen ash on your twinblade, getting the strength / Dex scaling as high as possible, to have the highest amount of physical attack power possible. This way your actual dmg output won't be completely nerfed. And really - most of the time if you're finding a boss to be impossible, it's simply because you're using a dmg-type that the specific boss will reduce by 70%

[@olicc]

@@Lasse3 good tips but I was doing plenty of damage. My issue was avoiding damage. I know the fight backwards and forwards after doing it 100+ times. Know all the combos and tells. But seemed like some BS would always happen. I could go on and on about it... but I'm sure the general consensus from the community is "get good" or whatever. I killed him yesterday though.
