Hard Drive Reviews: ELDEN RING

[@lucmorris9183]

I think Scott the Woz could jump over more chairs than Bill Gates if he put his mind to it.

[@NocturnalFudj]

Wow Elden Ring sure is big and those characters sure do say cum a lot huh

[@MelodyTCG]

I like how the whole video is the intro

[@liamthellama8386]

When I bought Elden Ring, I was intent on beating every boss with no summons, no magic or any non-melee weapon, and no help from online guides. I got through the game without too much trouble, but after hour 7 of grinding the Melania, I took a break from playing. This video has given me the motivation to re-memorize dodging waterfall dance and return to the cycle of getting really excited after making it through most of the second phase with flasks to spare, only to get killed by an unreadable 0 to death combo.

[@MarioAndYoshi1409]

please update us on if the godskin noble is still going throughout the next videos, at this point i'm invested

[@titojdavis8374]

last bit left me with a smile on my face, then I felt it slowly fade with "consume, for you know nothing else"... got dark

[@goldenthorns3695]

The content really hasn't changed from your old channel ,in a good way, keep it up man.

[@CrispyJM]

'Unreactable knife attack, the east london special if you will' im in tears

[@bennetmcgravey-vanlauwe9514]

18:00 Yes, not to mention when and npc says “Go North-East to find the guy who stole my necklace!” AND THE GUY IS NORTH-WEST TO THE LOCATION OF THE NPC! THIS EVEN HAPPENS IN A QUEST THAT HINTS HOW TO UNLOCK 2 ENTIRE PARTS OF THE MAP AND ONE OF THE MAIN BOSSES! HOW IN THE HELL DID ANYONE EXPECT A PERSON TO FIND THIS OUT WITHOUT A GUIDE?!

[@cheesebossfinch8071]

7:03 "the final boss in an ending that doesn't exist" has no right to sound as cold as it does.

[@ShadianVise]

I feel the Moonlight Plateau comment, I probably spent over an hour trying to find the way up from Liurnia.

[@austinmitchell2652]

Congratulations, you have made me click on an elden ring video for the first time ever. This is the power of fudj. The discussion about spoilers does make me wonder why we put so much weight on the surprise aspect of a story, rather than just evaluating the execution of the story in retrospect. Also great pick with the dragon ball Budokai music

[@kymaeraa]

That problem of youtube thumbnails spoiling a game is getting real annoying. I like watching ragegaming’s pro and noob series, but like 3 days after a new monster hunter game comes out: boom video with drawing of final boss in the thumbnail

[@JareGraphics2013]

20:40 This same roll attack he can animation cancel to throw a fireball or do a thrusting attack with his sword and then immediately go back to rolling like nothing happened. So in a sense it's not even animation cancelling, it's animation pausing.

[@theparagonal]

Kudos on the FF9 boss music. Love your reviews!

[@synysterdawn8913]

While I agree that there were issues with exploration and tracking certain events, your mindset with Malenia could've just as easily applied to those elements. I also struggle with wanting to comb over everything and miss as little as possible, but I know I could just choose not to. Just finding Malenia requires completing two optional and hidden areas, and then learning her fight, and that's a lot more dedication and effort needed than tracking down an NPC or something.

[@kes-3d]

That.... that intro music is from Divinity OS 2. I see you have impeccable taste :D

[@kes-3d]

"Amber Ale" if anyone is interested.

[@manthief]

I don't know what Crouton is but it sounds a bit of a fright

[@wtfhithere]

As someone from Trovdon, can confirm

[@AidanRatnage]

I summoned for Malenia. I did not spend an unreasonable amount of time on her. Glad to see The Deview's second resurrection.

[@tropicarls]

I summoned for Malenia and still spent like an hour and a half on her (of course even my summoned bros were having trouble)

[@AzNFoLk]

15:45 I know I'm guilty of searching everything before moving on.

[@foster2095]

shoutout GetThisBag in the second rage clip 😆

[@hollandscottthomas]

Congratulations on the most incorrect pronunciation of Hidetaki Miyazaki's name possible.

[@tyb.531]

U mean Hidetaka?

[@hollandscottthomas]

@@tyb.531 Yes.

[@ash2u]

Your funniest script to date imo! Hit after hit joke ❤

[@namarie.2289]

you’re so supportive and positive

[@ash2u]

@@namarie.2289 I tend not to comment on stuff but it's always a good feeling getting nice feedback as a small creator, so I figure if I'm thinking something positive I should put it out there. Been watching Fudj a while and it's been fun watching him evolve as a creator

[@namarie.2289]

@@ash2u I’m gonna go check him out and tell him you sent me

[@ash2u]

@@namarie.2289 this is a Fudj video! He moved to Hard Drive so all his new vids are here now

[@LuckyOtter_WorldBuilding]

im glad to see someone else calling out profia gaming

[@shadowhegog9798]

Today I learned torrent has balls I guess

[@t2send]

They actually fixed some of the npcs standing in random places by putting map markers for them. Doesn't help if you played the game early though lol

[@ShockedLogic]

Legends tell that the Godskin Noble is still rolling to this day

[@Charles-rp4vs]

Stumbled upon thy channel, needs more views fr my fellow Britain

[@t2send]

Real poggers vid right here

[@Ashen-Crow]

Dear liberals: you say you won't call the game bad, yet you point the fact you can't look at the magical horse's testicles. Curious. (btw certified fudj classic once again)

[@firehammock3021]

That was really funny, great video!

[@deebzscrub]

Hey KZbin, next time Fudj releases a Hard Drive Review wanna not wait a week before telling me? I hit the bell and everything!

[@GamerMcBaggin]

thank you for this review

[@pntn13]

amazing video, man. cool point about zoologist / speedrunner dichotomy. i propose a middle ground: kinda-roleplaying mode™: - pick a character - define their vibe - think of their story - think of the build that suits them specifically - play whatever parts of the game you feel like - think of a kinda-reason why your gaming style fits them. e.g.: ★ "Asterius would never betray Sellen. in remembrance of her final sacrifice he uses That One Cool Spiral Spell to slay the Elden Beast" ◉ "and thus The Truth showed Herself to Antiochus and he saw The Flame. The Flame that will erase all that divides and distinguishes" ♡ "she is a samurai with many regrets, she is a demigod that is kinda to blame for the whole shitstorm. anything can happen" i vacuumed the whole game the first time around, and now i kinda know what's the deal with those people and where to find them. so now I can be more mindful about what my guy would do. like do i sneak ever or am i too noble / proud for that? do i fight dragons or do i love them so much it is painfully sad to kill them? do i even want to become a monarch by slaying so hard a God dies or something?

[@Midnitethorn]

Fudj, you should really check out Pokémon Arceus yeah, its not gorgeous, but traveling around is so fun, especially the flying/gliding. It clearly had a breath of the Wild.

still going

for game stuff I always use append reddit to my search because there's less spoilers. it's not as exhaustive tho

[@rhiannonbunce4086]

based, pog and fudjpilled or whatever the gamer kids are saying these days

[@gabrielrussell5531]

Malenia is severely overhyped. Get a good shield and a weapon with and good stagger and she's a cakewalk. Maliketh on the other hand is the hardest boss in FromSouls history.

[@HardDriveMag]

I did Maliketh first try :) -Fudj

[@tropicarls]

I agree with all of the points Fudj was making here in this video. I felt the game was starting to run out of gas around the mountaintops area too, but it felt like it still had a lot more good stuff to offer (it did for me). Also, yes, some bosses are just super bullshit. I went back to ds2 a bit for the new servers and the difference is incredible! all of the beginning bosses felt like a cakewalk compared to MARGIT. I can probably solo Fume Knight now. Also, Fudj, I'll help you with Malenia, you just gotta summon me bro

Hard Drive Review❌ World’s Worst Review😌

[@Floridamangaming729]

I beat malenia. I think you just have a skill issue. And yes i did use the tools the game gave me to beat said boss. there is no reason not to unless you really hate yourself.
