[@Lo54Lo]

Be careful dude elden ring is what you would call a "gateway drug". You will end up addicted to the entire souls franchise after so many uses

[@BugnerLoveDaHamburmger]

This is the most accurate way to describe why I love the souls franchise now 💀

[@robertjv]

Btuh I just ordered ds1 after rbuying elden ring. I'm in too deep

[@majincaveman2709]

Ds3 is what got me

[@thorn.fieldnsta]

I only got into Fromsoft in 2020 with Bloodborne, I was never attracted to the souls before but I was desperate for a good cosmic horror video game so I tried BB and oh boy. Then Sekiro, I was lucky for just waiting like 8 months before Elden Ring came out and I just started DS3 🥴 used to hate sm on those "storyless games and heavy gameplay" yet there we are

[@muffetmissulena6540]

I’ve played two other souls likes before Elden Ring. They were Nioh and Strangers of Paradise. Neither wanted me to try out more souls likes. Then I played Elden Ring. I’m not even done with the game yet and I immediately want more.

[@marzzattak]

ER was my first soulgame too. Now i'm addicted! Super fun watching someone play the game for the first time. Hope you make it a series!

[@Slinky511nx7]

It's not a souls game though, it's souls-like yes, but not a souls game.

[@Shaqspoosock]

its made by the same company and person so it is in most peoples eyes @@Slinky511nx7

[@makavali-yb7xv]

It was my first soulsgame to. Liked it in the beginning. But the fact that you cant know where to go for the main story unless you look it up on youtube makes the game trash for me.

[@luisferromano8306]

i wish i could play this game for the first time again, but even after 160 hours im all in for it when the dlc comes out

[@d3sc3n7]

I'm probably close to those hours, platinum trophies, and just hoping every day I hear about the dlc.

[@kylewagenaar5786]

I'm 130 hours in and I keep finding new things to do. With the DLC I might be able to have this as my most played steam game.

[@Unyaum]

As someone who picked up a souls game for the first time 2 years ago, being Elden Ring as well, I can't stress enough how pleased I am to see fellow tarnished take the plunge.

[@updawgsent.5338]

He's lying. Elden ring was my first souls game as an avid gamer and this fool is lying

[@LarryBaller]

You’re honestly pretty solid at this game for not playing any souls games before. Pretty impressive tbh. This was also my first souls game and it put me on the souls grind after I beat it. I crave the challenge

[@Blackblade-NeX]

same here, since i picked up elden ring ive only been able to find souls games fun. if you haven't given lies of P a shot id highly recommend it

​@@DevilSlayr this.

[@SolDizZo]

He mentioned Jin Sakai-- I feel like Ghost of Tsushima has some real challenge to it when it comes to boss fights. It's no Sekiro, but it's sort of a... training montage to Sekiro.

[@lethalpabby]

Somebody should've told him how to do unsheathe, bc that's a pretty big part of choosing samurai. You hold down the left trigger and then do an attack, and then it does a powerful attack with damage and stance pressure .

[@warframelichyt]

That should've been the advice he was given, rather than "you can't beat him, you need better equipment"

[@treemonsterman3611]

Someone did and the mods timed them out immediately. I get not wanting backseating but it looks like hell to be in this chat, people were getting timed out for saying the most minor tips possible.

[@SolDizZo]

@@treemonsterman3611 I've been in a lot of chats where I can't seek clarification either. Banhammer. Fair enough they assume I'm a troll but I phased out of watching Twitch in general soon after that. KZbin or bust. And invasive ads have kept me away since

[@thomasdevlin5825]

you been killing it lately, the hard work really paying off

[@NotSamSage]

I actually just started Elden Ring about a week or so ago too! It’s my first Souls game. I’m just taking my time and grinding levels. The open world exploration is absolutely incredible I find myself just heading in a direction and riding. I killed Margit on my first attempt and absolutely lost my mind haha. I’ll definitely be watching a keeping tabs!! Good luck

[@TheRealAce0]

I Hope you are having fun! It was my first souls game! Now I have over like 1300 hours in ER and have beaten all games except for demon’s souls and sekiro (I can beat demon’s souls I just don’t wanna). Beat elden ring then Play these games in this order; ds1, ds3, ds2 (or bloodborne cause ds2 will drain you), then bloodborne, then sekiro or demon’s souls. Update me!

[@NotSamSage]

@@TheRealAce0 just an update for you. I beat Godrick on my first attempt, and I beat the Red Wolf on my first go! I also only had two flasks for the wolf fight. I’m really enjoying the game! I think I’m going the strength/colossal weapon route

[@rorinte]

@@NotSamSagewhat weapons are you using? i was level 67 and in some lava castle near the end like 60 hr in and quit. came back after a year and i just have no clue where i am and had to restart😭

[@NotSamSage]

@@rorinte I was using a katana, but switched over to the great sword. Got it in Caelid (spelling?). I keep my equipment to medium so I’m not fat rolling everywhere. That made a huge difference. I level primarily into vigor, strength, and endurance now.

[@TheRealAce0]

@@NotSamSage lets gooo!! Strength build will be fun I promise

[@okamic1750]

This was so fun to watch, welcome to the community brother. I want to watch you complete this game and then ng+ 👍🏽 I’m excited to catch up on the missed streams and join a live one .

[@charliejackson6535]

I ended up playing as a wretch. The stats were all even so I essentially had an empty canvas to work with. I ended up doing an intelligence/dexterity build with some extra points invested in strength for an ice based character since all of the ice require some investment in intelligence. The ice based weapons mainly scale off of dexterity. It’s been pretty fun so far. I’m glad you are enjoying the game and I hope you continue to as well. Happy adventuring.

[@PureCapsaicin]

Was my first souls game, 150 hours in 8 days to beat it. That means I only got 30 hours of sleep during that time, sleeping pills to fall asleep quick and caffeine in the morning to get me up and ready to play. Personally it was a one and done in my opinion maybe i’ll come back in the future but yeah unless I was able to use mods I don’t find playing it again appealing yet it’s my favorite game of all time.

[@jamestabbron8124]

Massive DLC is coming soon

[@chardhrosreaper2307]

Doing a great job learning and getting used to the flow of combat. Some of those difficult dodges looking much more effortless than I know they are. You are picking it up faster than I did. The hardest part is often getting used to dying and not feeling like it's a punishment. And that can be a tough one. Take heart! The secret to Soulsborne is that you are a Terminator: you are inexorable. They can slow you down, but they can't stop you, and you will always be back. Enemies are not so lucky.

[@rubeng370]

Elden Ring was my last Souls game I experienced, and man it will kick your ass a lot. The first 30 hours or so I couldn't really get through the game. Dying in 1 or 2 hits from bosses, my best weapon early on (since I didn't use the Samurai class to get the bleed Katana) I use the bleed dagger. After I practiced more and more, got through the early bosses to Godrick, eventually Radahn... I was loving the game and exploration. Took me 165 hours to finish the game, and 185 hours to finish the rest of the side bosses like Melania and the dragons. Now it's my #1 favorite game of all time, extremely hyped for the DLC that will be worth the 2 year wait rather than making a sequel. Mohg's spear is one of my all time favorite weapons xD I'm glad to see more players experience Elden Ring as their first Souls game and be impressed how much this game alone does so well and standout among modern games. In my opinion, Elden Ring is the best game of the 2020s. Good luck GTA 6

[@jonathanquinlan3811]

chat should have told you to keep talking to the woman before the castle to get the jellyfish summon and to ditch the shield and 2h your sword and to swap your flasks for all heals at the start

[@robdurfee6861]

They don’t want to I’m sure, they think it’s funnier to watch him suffer is my guess

[@twrecks4598]

New sub here.. that was a lot of fun to watch you do the struggle. BTW for anyone new, you can ring in spirits to help you in boss fights like the Margit one here... they will distract the boss so you can get ur XP and FP back up, or just give you some time to get a good shot in. Glad you are promoting the best game out in a long time

[@RippyAF]

I think im going to pick this up as my first Souls game. Im so hesitant, because i hate dying in video games buttttt i feel like I HAVE to give Souls a try at least once. Prepping my mindset to not be discouraged. Understanding that each attempt isnt to kill but to learn the moves until ultimately i win.

[@szshz]

Same here bro, always was scared to comit, picked up the game today and it's hard but fun and beautiful

[@ute.fritzkowski]

I am 45, didn't even play RPGs before (city builders like skylines and Anno instead), but I tried it because it looked so good. I still love it, although I die a lot and can't even roll a turtle on time. It seems they did a great job "converting" new people with Elden Ring. There are some things I would change, but not many. Like getting some moral decisions or consequences in there, so you can't just run around killing everything and anyone. Some friendly co-operators. Seemless multiplayer. And the camera is strange sometimes. But all in all it is just a very good game. Exited for the DLC.

[@Blank-wt9nh]

There's frienly npc's, and also there's friendly cooperators during boss fights if you do the npc's questline and there's also seemless multiplayer where you can ask your friends to help you fight bosses and invading other worlds

[@standingdoor7077]

It is crazy how Elden ring hands you the best gear and allows so many people to enjoy this game. Seriously, you don't need to get gud you just need a big weapon and points in vigor. Then it just gets crazier from there if you decide to buff or even use summons😱

[@bradkirchhoff5703]

No lol. You cant just tank bosses later in the game if you dont have good timing and dodge rolls. Takes far more than a large health pool. You still get 1-2 shotted by some of them regardless of how much vigor you have.

[@bradkirchhoff5703]

For example any Scarlet Ross blossom attack from Milenia that hits you directly will kill you.

[@standingdoor7077]

Yes... Yes, you can.😆 I appreciate that you don't wear armor(them light rolls are the only way😍) but you clearly have never stacked defense. Ng(fresh file) with scaled armor and a Dragon crest shield/great talisman is enough to tank most bosses, without buffs. As I said with buffs and better armor it gets even crazier. Like 91% dr vs 42% without. NO SHIELD EITHER. That is really cheating at that point. I urge you to ALL HIT RUN Malenia. You indeed can tank every hit, even the scarlet aeonia. I haven't actually tried Radahn meteor or Astel with high defense yet, I just always sidestep them instead. I will let you know if I can tank it with the basic setup then the full setup.

[@richardscott6896]

Just watching the Magrit fight shouting at the monitor "JELLYFISH"

[@bradkirchhoff5703]

Lol you said you got it but honestly I think the moment you TRULY started to understand is when you beat The Bloodhound Knight. Your reaction to the victory is all of us when we started out on these games. THAT is why ppl put these games so high. They are so painful to play but when it clicks and you finally beat that boss that you thought was so shity or cheap…That euphoria that comes from said victories are priceless.

[@Retrozoid88]

The opening really gets adrenaline going

[@EatMyVlogs]

Crazy to know this is peoples first souls experience.. If you were around for the days of Dark Souls 1 in its prime you know the struggle 😆 Ornstein and Smough the first time around were BRUTAL!

[@bradkirchhoff5703]

The enemies invading you arent real people. They are actual coded enemies in the game. You can be invaded by real players if playing online but there are a set number of npc invaders throughout the game that drop some of the best items in the game.

[@dragonborn_deez6352]

Elden ring is amazing but blood-borne is my personal favorite. That’s the game that got me hooked on souls games.

[@foolio6972]

Same here. After bloodborne I did ds1 and ds2 in anticipation for ds3 coming out. Then finally Elden Ring. The way Elden ring ties a bow on everything is incredible. But bloodborne is still my first love.

[@monstarstevo7307]

Elden Ring was my first Souls game as well, and it unfortunately ruined a lot of games for me. However, it did reintroduce me to playing games like I did back in the NES / SNES days.

[@yoRyann27]

After beating Elden Ring as your first time Soulslike game, you'll be addicted to the gameplay no doubt. Bloodborne, DS3, and Sekiro are arguably the best Soulslike games and the best to go for next (preferably DS3 as it's closest to being like Elden Ring). But Elden Ring is the FromSoftware gameplay formula perfected, so it's good you're playing it first. I recommend it atm as the should be-first for any new player to these games.

[@cheerseveryone7542]

[@johnmorris1009]

Well you're doing better than me and I'm someone who's played a handful of hours on dark souls 2 (gave up!). I'm currently galloping around on Elden Ring and trying to grab important items and rune farm too. I've defeated a few of the minor bosses, but none of the harder ones or main quest ones. Tree sentinel? Noooo way! Tried several times and got nowhere near killing him! Margit? Give me a few years and I might give him a go.

[@daniel_najar]

If you’re playing as a Samauri you gotta use the Unsheathe technique. That would’ve really helped you with Margit. Hope you learned it by now lol

[@YTWatcher2255]

The worst part of the souls games are their clunky controls. They're especially hard to get used to when you're coming from FPS games where you have perfect control of your character. These games allow your character to face the screen and the mouse just gives a rough estimate of where you aim. You can't even tell the direct angle your character is facing and might even shoot into the ground 3-4m in front of your target - or far above. Once you learn the controls and their limits though, the games get rather easy, to be honest. Sure, if there is a new fight, even experienced players die. Just check out the first attempts of Oroboro vs. certain bosses (especially a female one with a winged helm - trying not to spoil). Once you understand the range of the weapon you use, the delays in the animations and how the dodges work, it'll be a very smooth experience afterwards. My biggest issue with this game in particular is the uselessness of armor and the way poise works. The armor is useless, because compared to how they work in real life, even the heaviest armors in ER only give protection equal to a leather chest piece IRL.
