"it's just a game" - Elden Ring

[@KisnouMusic]

To anyone passing by here, I love reading your comments so much. I wish I could write music for a game like this. If you want to hear some storytelling music, last year I wrote an album titled 'The Untold Story of The Rainmaker', inspired by Dark Souls & Elden Ring. It's been hard to share it with the world due to its narrative nature, that's why I am writing this - but if you have some free time, I'd be so happy to hear your opinions on it. Thank you so much 🤍 (Jester if you are reading this, may you pin my comment please?)

Elden rings doesnt tell you its story with 100 hours cinematics and texts, it makes you feel it. You have to fight for it in that brutal world, but every little shard of story is unforgetable.

[@theunderdog9353]

Hot take I know, but I disagree. The only way to even have the slightest clue of what is going on is if you dive deep into item descriptions and stuff like that. There's a difference between lore and story. Elden Ring has lore, not a story. Not traditionally anyway. I prefer a coherent story where I know exactly what's going on. I understand that Elden Ring and other Souls games are not like that by design and I recognize how much people love it, but for me, I just don't care about the story in these games at all because I don't feel like going the extra mile to learn it. Don't get me wrong I love this game. Over 150 hours played and I got all the achievements. It's literally my only perfect game on Steam and I finished it 3 times. Beautiful world, boss design, music and atmosphere with a lot of mystery. It's great. I just don't like the way they tell their story. It's the one complaint I have about the game but I know it will never change and I don't expect it to just because I and maybe a small minority of people don't like the way they do it so I've accepted it

[@thepikay4378]

​@@theunderdog9353I will also never get a full picture of the lore without sone KZbin videos because I'm also not willing to read item descriptions over item descriptions and combine all these information on a whiteboard. 😃 But I disagree with you that it would be better if Elden Ring or the Souls Games would tell there story/lore in a more direct way. Because the whole mood of the game and the atmospheric experience and the mystery are achieved by this way of telling their lore and holding back information and so on. This makes me as a player the explorer of things I do not understand. And I would not want them to change that. 🙂

[@Amatiel]

​@@theunderdog9353 Then you are playing it without truly opening up your heart to the concepts and the stories that play out along the way. Yes the deepest parts of the lore (like in the lore videos ect) could be read like a textbook, but the real story is the things you experience along the way that only you can personally experience in your own unique way that make you think. "Wow what an interesting character with personal struggle and development, that makes me see the world in a different way." All the while being torn assunder little by little from their own journey in the world. Its not neccesarily getting the entire picture its taking it in as you see it. Its about taking things with a pinch of salt and wondering what the battle your fighting is all really for. Maybe im just a different kind of person but i quite enjoy taking things in as i see them and thinking for myself. I say this meaning no offence to you just my perspective.

[@theunderdog9353]

@@Amatiel I just prefer a coherent story. Elden Ring's story is just different from conventional stories, but be honest with me, when you compare Elden Ring's story to say, Red Dead Redemption 2, which do you prefer? I'm strictly talking story, not gameplay. I would easily pick RDR2 because it truly makes me care about the characters because of the excellent writing, dialogue and voice acting combined with a powerful plot that's easy to follow. I love games like that. God of War is another one. I'm just a fan of narrative-driven games like that and Elden Ring is the polar opposite. As I said, I understand why people enjoy it. Elden Ring is basically "no handholding the game". This extends to everything, including the story. I recognize it's all by design. It's just not something I enjoy for everything. I like exploring the world etc but I would have prefered a more streamlined story that isn't obscured behind item descriptions etc

[@Jhakaro]

@@Amatiel Yeah but story's are told. It's an experience, not a story. There's a difference. The actual story is super barebones in all souls games, something something hollow, light a fire, fight four dudes, final boss. The lore however is vast and really beautifully detailed as are the world's themselves. What you're saying is essentially "make your own story as you go." That only reaffirms that the game itself has very little real story. It's more about the player's experience and sense of wonder or amazement or fear that they feel playing the games. The sadness, frustration, achievement. There's some character stories that do play out a little more directly but overall, there isn't actually much of an actual plot. I never finished any Souls game because I'd always get like 3/4's in and just get tired of it. I'd lose motivation to keep going or struggling to beat bosses because I feel no incentive. I don't care about the world or the characters or my own character or lighting the fire or whatever because the game gives you barely any reason to care most of the time. Sometimes with characters it does in fairness but even then, fairly lightly at times.

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

It has so many connotations too. There's contrasts to Latenna's relationship with Lobo, like in Ranni & Blaidd's, and Marika and Maliketh. All three end in tragedy. Ranni's indifference causes Blaidd's death. Marika's betrayal causes Maliketh's. But even pure mutual loyalty causes Lobo's death. All three are wolves, albeit different types. It's like the game is saying that no matter how it happens, that is their lot as ''Man's Best Friend''.

The only bad thing about elden ring is that I’ll never play it for the first time again. This adventure pulled me through some of the hardest times of my life. I remember working 12 hour nights just waiting to come home and play and looking forward to off days so I could play even longer. Only the truly fortunate will feel the same exhilaration from beating the boss you’ve been working hard to get past and feeling progress. I may not have made any money or gotten any real life skills from it but I got a happiness that I hope more things in the future can give me.

This is the greatest game ever made. I don't care what someone else says, this is a masterpiece. I've been gaming since the 2600, and no game has made me step back and just be in awe of the creative achievement. It's spectacular. On a separate note, there is no feeling like being 200+ hours into the game, and so powerful that you can ride from pole to pole and wreck absolutely everything in your path, when only a month earlier you were tiptoeing around the earliest parts of the game hoping nothing killed you.

[@rickylal9824]

this game will have a special place in my heart till the day i die, ive never been a huge gamer 34 years old , work took over my life, and this was the only game in my life i have put in more than 100 hours,(over 300 now) it made me feel like a kid again, quickly logging out at work so i can go home as quick as possible and turn the game on, ive never been like that, it brought out a side of me that i didnt know even existed, it made me happy again, i found joy in video games again. this game teaches u so much about just life, if you dont get it the first time, keep trying keep trying keep trying, i spent over 10 hours on melania, and that feeling i got when i finally defeated her, was better than any drug ive ever taken, i was a opiate addict for ten years, 7 years clean now, and no drug ever gave me that high i got when i finally beat the boss that i couldnt beat so many times before, i love this game with all my heart, and i am forever grateful for the awesome intelligent humans who spent thousands of hour to deliver us this amazing, eye opening, soul crushing experience, if i could describe this game in one word, BEAUTIFUL.

"The fallen leaves tell a story. Of how a Tarnished became Elden Lord."

[@crash-testproductions9341]

Elden Ring story will still have its special place in my heart. The whole story about this world is a story of gods, greater beings so above the little mortals they pretend to protect, but the end if the game is precisely about the opposite, those small beings each having their own wishes and desires, and deciding what the world should be instead of those eldritch entities. You can rule by yourself an imperfect world, after the greater will is forced to renounce his control over life or death to keep itself here. A scorned woman can choose her own god of undeath, to change the place of the tarnished as oppressed to rulers. The mad prisoner can take his revenge upon the world, by cursing all things so the greater being lose all control over the souls of this land. A silent prophet, with no name for himself, can repare the golden order by himself at the cost of his life, when a goddess like Marika was never capable of it. You and Ranni, the demigoddess spurning the control of the greater will, can together take the gods out of this land to travel far away, and let the Lands Between decide its own fate. Or you can make true the wish of the burning eyed believers, and scorch the whole world to return to the origin of life itself, the ultimate price to shatter the greater will invasion. The game make you think it's a story about gods, Marika's bloodline, heroes of forgotten time, but it's in fact a story of how those small nobodies spurned by grace that are the Tarnished will have the last words, at the end of a long journey.

The NPC sidequests in Elden Ring were mostly "find them, exhaust their dialogue, and do something." Yet, the storytelling made us 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 the NPC talking to us, from the growth of Alexander to Latenna's grief and anger. Even bosses like Messmer express his inner feelings that despite most of us can't relate, we can at least feel the pain of being abandoned and lied to by his own mother. It is everything combined that made this game feel so alive, so...human, even for godly beings in this strange world. Elden Ring illustrated the concept of pain in a very sinister fashion, through the visuals, dialogues, sound effects, and even game mechanics, we 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 the pain of the game's characters. They are just a 3D model with voice actors behind them, but I feel so much humanity in most characters. 10/10 game, it is something I want to experience the first time again.

That’s not exploration, that’s just a walking simulator. In Elden Ring, there’s so many different paths to take, decisions to make, and you can do it all whenever you want. You have almost unlimited options, even to kill some of the NPCs and forfeit their dialogue. You even have the chance to deny the power offered to you at the beginning, and play the game without many of the mechanics it offers. There’s nothing you’re REQUIRED to do to play the game. You can do explore everything and fight anyone whenever you decide to, not when the game deems you powerful enough.

The reason is that there were only two games that were really contending for the goty and that gowr is more of a cinematic-story based game just for the fans of the saga. While elden ring got the first look from streamers and got advertised over and over again. And obviously the good old mindless hollow fromsoftware fans blabbering about it everywhere saying it's the absolute best ever created

@@vhals2052 I don't feel like responding in the same condescending tone as you. It's clear that God of War Ragnarok offers very little compared to its predecessor, and I can't count the number of opinions from fans of the first game (the one from 2018) who seemed disappointed by the lack of novelty, even though they enjoyed the game overall. Personally, I haven't played any God of War games, they simply don't interest me, so I'll refrain from commenting. Elden Ring's tour de force is to have succeeded in attracting players who are totally alienated from From Software games, which are essentially niche games that are totally at odds with mainstream games. Once in a while a game comes out that redefines certain video game standards: in 2022 it was Elden Ring, in 2023 it's Baldur's Gate 3. Elden Ring is the goty of 2022, not because I want it to be, but because the vast majority of people who have played it have decided that it should be, whether they're professionals in the videogame press or just gamers.

excellent job, this truly shows the depth of the story of the lands between

Best video of elden ring I've ever seen. I don't think it can be topped

[@mrsgamer9218]

Cant wait to continue this journey once the dlc hits. My daughter cheering me on while i kept trying to defeat Malenia was one of the best moments in my life

[@Solike99]

I love the spiritual message of this game. The spirit of fighting, of bravery and nobility.

[@h4py741]

this is beautiful. I'm so glad you found something wonderful in this work of art, just remember, don't you dare go hollow.

[@AureliaCastaigne]

This is absolutely masterfully done!!

[@wither5673]

I actually got my mom to play the game with me, she played through basically all bethesda games and a few others here and there, but the hype for Elden ring was at such a fever pitch that she gave it a try. When she beat Margit for the first time (i helped but let her do most of it to figure out how to...well play the game) it was amazing. played through the whole thing and explored every corner of the game together.

[@ladyrevan7backupchannel232]

This is such a wonderful tribute! I also really appreciate the fact that you used your own game play footage instead of just cutscenes. Also loved the second ending of the video. I was tearing up the whole time and then that made smile. Chaos!

[@BurReToe]

You have a heart of gold, don’t let them take it from you

[@EthanRobinson-lk5ej]

Brings a tear to my time every time I watch this. Thank you.

[@frankfromQc]

In these weird times we live in, Elden Ring is there. One of the few things that still make me happy.

[@FrogEnthusiast_TheOneAndOnly]

Hewg might have one of the most emotion invoking stories, it’s one of few that really makes me feel something

"Ah haha ha".

[@defalt3260]

Thanks you for putting gameplays on a edit about how videogames are art

[@Saphir7615]

Elden Ring isn't a game, it is a legend. Told not on paper, but through the words of its characters. It is one of those stories that I hope will never fade, as the journey you experience, it is unmatched.

[@xAnxiouus]

How is it possible that this Video has only 81k Views? What a masterpiece, thank you for this Video! Had tears in my eyes, I love this game so much

[@RyanMoran95]

What a brilliant video. You've inspired me to get back into it again in time for the DLC!

[@ahrimanahzekxv9446]

Sad and yet beautiful like a poem - love it

[@mapbot6748]

“Why does that girl weep for me? Have I forgotten something of dire importance” that line made the salty seas start to move behind my eyes

[@indica1420]

Rejoice tarnished, for thy journey is finally at an end. Through all the tough journeys and hardships you may now rest, for you have earned it, I'm proud of you.

[@cameronbmx3166]

The entire story of this game makes me cry

[@janvangils5560]

200 hours in my first playtrough, and I savoured each minute. Elden Ring is fromsoft most hopefull and dark game at the same time .

[@Arcgurren]

I'd heard the song today and this song now remind me of this video. So I back watch it again and still tear down of how beauty this game can be.

[@danielo7191]

I’m not crying your crying

The great Alexandra will always have me broken. R.I.P to a real warrior

[@HellGateVI]

Amazing tribute to Elden Ring!! I felt sadness and joy at the same time.

[@oatz-2668]

this was by far the most beautiful video I've seen, bravo

[@rajpandey6879]

completed the game twice but man it hurt like hell killing own mates witnessing their tragic fate. This is not a game but a roller coaster for me. Until now this is best elden ring edit for me. Thanks for reminding those best moments cant forget a single npc

[@Squiddles_]

Man, elden ring got me through one of the roughest points of my life. It literally saved me from myself. I've kept playing in since then as my comfort game, almost at 2000 hours now. I thought I would never experience the beauty of the story again after hearing it so many times over, but this video, it did it for me. Thank you.

[@Stephen-yj2sh]

I'm just saying now, this is the best game I've ever seen I actually beat the game it was so good man. When he said "I am the great jar warrior, lend me strength, O warriors within! Let us become one CHAMPION TOGETHER!" That was sad. I watched my brother beat him and personally liked everyone that fought with me against Rahdan, so when I saw him die, I was really sad.😢

[@zacherymahoney12]

Honestly when Margit says "we are, all forsaken" i realized then how tragic the entire story was for pretty much everyone. I almost teared up.
