Elden Ring Review - Kinda Funny Gamescast

[@TrimblyWimbly]

I really enjoyed the last couple of review formats where Tim hasn’t played it and gets to ask questions/clarify things that the people reviewing it have to say.

[@SneppyNotSnoopy]

Tim is a great moderator of this conversation

[@paddington2063]

My friends and I are 27-28 now. We have been going to one friends house every Friday for about 15 years now. Since it came out, we play through a Souls game every time(we can beat them fast). Cannot describe my excitement for this Friday

[@henreebee6561]

Holy shit! How long are the campaigns? That’s impressive.

[@vincentzhaiven4017]

The one dude that was disappointed with ER didn't seem like he really knew what he was doing in elden ring , you can adjust the ashes of war and other gear to literally cater to whatever build you want.( if you want a quality build you can change the affinity of your gear and ashes) You just need to grind and explore and just be diligent.

[@OZ-lf5pm]

Blessing does the worse Elden ring take I have heard: I decided to kill giants over and over in a game that has half a billion things to do. And I didn’t like doing that. I was only getting new summons from dungeons so I decided to keep doing those and got angry and not getting something different

[@SNESpool]

I might be misinterpreting what he said, but it sounds like Blessing's not fully aware of how the weapon upgrade system works. Complaining that he's not finding any OP weapons that are immediately better than his current one makes no sense, because unless you NEVER upgrade your equipment, it should always be marginally stronger than a weapon you just found. Doesn't matter how cool it looks, a base greatsword isn't gonna do as much damage as a +5 katana; you're gonna have to upgrade it. So the reward for finding new weapons is a combination of trying a different moveset that you might like more than the current one, possibly finding a unique weapon skill, along with the new weapon's scaling and damage POTENTIAL. I've always loved this about From's games, and this one more than any others. Every reward in the game requires you to make an INVESTMENT, whether it's runes/souls, smithing stones, risking a dangerous new area, or even just the time it'll take to reach an objective. Everything in this game is earned, not just given at random. And that makes every new weapon/ash/piece of gear feel significant, even if it doesn't fit your current build.

[@shadowpsyke]

Tam and Andy really appreciate nuances in design that I don't think matter as much to some people, which is awesome. It's also why hearing Blessing's different perspective is really helpful since I foresee myself having the same gripes he has.

[@shadowpsyke]

@@HermanFalckHow That's exactly how I play, lol. I'm just curious/skeptical what that sort of usually linear guide looks like in an open world game.

[@thajuganaut]

Blessing view of rewards seems to be based on bloodborne but if you’ve played any souls game you pick up 100+ weapons and armor you will never use but they tell the lore and have discription a that you read for detail to the world and story

[@YourOneStopShop]

Not knowing where to go next just means youre into linear games and should probably stick to that if problems youre having are purely preferencial.

[@ramyzee5345]

@@shadowpsyke Its really not bad. I would have same gripes but I don't agree with Blessing. I never had to grind it out. Blessing seems to not do the thing you are supposed to do, if the boss is too hard MOVE ON, there is no penalty in doing it later. That's how the game is designed. Its really not bad at all especially when you have spirits to help you if you feel the need.

[@jmadluck]

andy has really found his voice for talking about games! he has valuable insight and is good at explaining his thoughts/feelings

[@impotenceaura]

The real gamer Andy cortez

[@jamesb6370]

He’s always had the insight but Blessing usually gets the first take and literally hits every single point before someone else goes lol. My opinion at least

[@MrLeonLuffy]

Andy discovering the Souls series has been amazing from the start to finish

[@taylorjack2130]

After going through a similar journey to Andy and finishing several souls games over the last year, I am so so happy with this

[@fy4b230]

Kinda odd how Blessing talked about tutorials in this game. They took the Sekiro route by stopping the game to explain the new mechanic, for instance the pouch he said he didn’t know about. Then just in case you missed it there’s a whole menu in your inventory with all the tutorials. I honestly don’t know how much more they could do with the major mechanics. Honestly, usually agree with Blessing’s reviews, but it almost seems like I’m playing a different game when it comes to most of the criticisms. Ah well hope he enjoys the rest of the game. Cheers.

[@creid]

The point Blessing is making at 13:50 & 15:40 is why I personally hold devs like FromSoftware or Mobius Digital with Outer Wilds at a higher regard, the detail and deliberation in crafting these worlds and even just placements of items in their games actually help tell their story whereas most other franchises place their points of interest or items to discover as just another dot to connect to across a vast map that they believe we should be impressed by because it's big & beautiful. Being able to subtly build out worlds that genuinely feels fully realized, ones that has had lifetimes of history to it is craftsmanship that should be appreciated.

[@thepeacefulchannel613]

BGS are masters at this as well. They’ve been doing the open world thing the best for years. Looks like Elden Ring surpassed that now 🤩

[@mattj2692]

@@thepeacefulchannel613 they will only surpass them if I shoot hundreds of feet into the sky after that giant stomps me lol

[@somberson]

Blessing complains about not getting items he wanted seems inconsistent since I don't think he's ever complained about BOTW's weapon durability, and that shit wasn't even attached to good combat. I remember at a point I just went straight into avoiding combat as much as possible, casue it wasn't good and the rewards were shit and my weapons kept breaking.

[@DrTurdsley]

BOTW weapon durability system is possibly the worst mechanic ever added to any game.

[@JDomino_]

So hyped for Friday. Bless’s points of contention just seem to be the things that make Souls games what they are. The obtuseness is part of the charm. These aren’t loot games you don’t change gear constantly it’s about picking something that works for you and upgrading it over the course of the game.

[@taylorjack2130]

Still seems valid to point them out, just his opinions on small things he doesn’t love

[@nathanhargenrader645]

@@taylorjack2130 yes and no. Pointing out that loot isn't an upgrade is kind of missing the point. You rarely get weapons in from games that are immediate upgrades however it might be something that over time might be better.

[@gumgumleobazooka]

@@nathanhargenrader645 well I think his point was from the vantage of it being an open world which is new territory for From. Still valid. It’s seems it’s a bridge between the usual formula and new frontiers for From, so it’s nice to hear that for someone new to these types of game. Knowing what to expect really is what it boils down to.

[@mikeyhavik815]

Not intentionally throwing shade at him but I also raised an eyebrow on his point about being too terrified to continue with lots of currency on him. That’s also a soulsborne hallmark and something you have to manage. I get the distinction with it now being an open world but you have to essentially be in a position where you’re prepared to lose all your souls/runes if you keep pressing on. You’re not obligated to go back and get them, sometimes if you build up a ton and lose them somewhere you don’t want to retread, you have to just write them off. There will always be more.

[@shadowpsyke]

For the loot specifically, his point was he didn't find exploration gratifying because of the reward being loot he couldn't use. About the obtuseness, you have to realize there's a whole group of Fromsoft players who play exclusively following a guide or having help. Bloodborne and Sekiro are two of my favorite games ever and not once did I play them without a guide. But still both those games are fairly linear so even if you're big dumb like me you can find your way to where you need to go.

[@jjsolis8484]

Bro hearing tim say that he played sekiro for an hour was one of the must hyped things ive heard in a while! LETS GO TIIIIIIM

[@fragr33f74]

Tim going through the "Brian Altano Bloodborne" transformation. Tim about to become a hard-core FromSoft fan.

[@SonicBroham]

Brian's turnaround in 2015 was what got me interested in the soulsborne games! "This enemy in an alley is the size of a truck, and I went back there and said, give me my money back!"

[@fragr33f74]

@@SonicBroham haha still one of my fav episodes of any podcast coz I really didn't see that coming

[@somberson]

Tim has said all these years how he's not good at gaming, and I see this might be the turnaround when he sees is not about being good, but about perseverence. I don't consider myself particularly good at games, but I've platinumed every From game since Demon's Souls (except remasteres) and ever since that game I also play most games on hard from the get go, cause shit don't taste quite the same after Demon's Souls.

[@_SomeGuyOnline]

​@@SonicBroham Where do I find this podcast you speak of?

[@shermanator9283]

As a huge arachnophobe, this game looks damn perfect but also like it’s almost guaranteed to have a huge spider boss that would make me drop the game immediately.

[@TonyAurum]

Finally, someone who shares my pain. I bought Skyrim a while back on the recommendation of a friend. Probably, the quickest I ever quit out of a game when I saw the giant spiders.

[@MichaelCutts7]

The good thing about this one is you can just nope out of the Spider Boss and go somewhere else.

[@bobbobson4869]

Same here. I really wish devs could come up with something more creative than giant spiders/insects. Especially in RPGs. It´s like it´s part of some kind of checklist they have to follow.

[@WaffleOnTheRun]

Blessing your description reminds me of the opening of DS1s where their are multiple paths and a couple of them are so hard your kinda unsure if your supposed to be there, while I can understand that can be frustrating and exacerbated by an open world, I really think that is what some people love about Fromsoft Games. The feeling that you are trapped and that their could be, and probably is, danger around every corner.

[@WHOAITSTHEINTERNET]

This. I’d prefer it to any icon literred map that tells you what to expect

[@marvinbennett]

When it comes to tutorials, the biggest issue is mainly reading and reading comprehension in my opinion. The pop up tutorials are extremely helpful, especially if you try to do what the tutorials say as soon as you see them. Most let’s plays I’ve seen though show the players quickly skimming and then not understanding later which is more of a personal issue imo. Also all the tutorials are in your inventory for reference

[@aaronsurber6948]

My favorite part about this is throughout the entire review Tim looking completely fascinated in everything theyre saying while also having absolutely zero clue what any of them are saying

[@davidenriquez9576]

With my best Bruce Buffer impression: “ITS TIIIIIIIIIIIME”

[@ThePhenomf4]

I thought the tutorial systems and menus in Elden Ring were completely fine. When there’s something to know, an info screen pops up and then every one of those is stored in your inventory. If you’re rushing through and don’t take the time to read those then that’s not the game’s problem.

[@UncleBlasto]

"I know it has instructions in the item descriptions, pop-up tips for everything and a repository of all of the tutorial material but I hit the button before I read it and also I don't want to read it and I feel that's not on me. You should make me read it, because it's not clear that I need to." That's what his complaints sound like 🤣

[@dreamxhollow]

Seeing Tamoor so excited to talk about this game is heart warming. This game is probably one the best games I've ever played.

I totally understand Blessing’s criticism and think it’s valid, but in my experience playing Souls games, sometimes you just lose those souls/echoes and never get them back. You just gotta cut your losses sometimes.

[@n2nother]

The biggest piece of advice I can give anyone playing these games is to not get attached to souls. You’ll get them back.

[@Bryndleson]

The biggest problem noobies have in these games is they get all anxious and angry. You gotta just vibe with the game.

[@romeonovember9902]

Blessing’s commentary sounds like him having to play a FromSoft game on his own for the first time instead of chat guiding him. I just can’t seem to enjoy listening his takes/opinions on games, i don’t know why and this is not a personal knock or something.

[@henrymoreno5170]

Does Blessing know about the guiding grace mechanic that’s in the game? It’s been pretty well defined from reading other reviews

[@kylecreator1]

The fact that blessing isn't getting anything out of the dungeons other then a drop is crazy. You are pitted in small spaces or fighting on poison to bring you with the realization that those mechanics are going to be further in the game and they are getting you ready for that. It's not the boss drop its the entire dungeon that you need to look at. The race back to your runes/souls is a key mechanic in this game.... if you don't enjoy it you are 100% playing the wrong game.

Aren't most of Blessings issues an user error of not paying attention? There are both tutorials for the item pouch and how to switch into two hands mode, and then there are the guiding light from Bonfire to Bonfire that show were you should be going no?

[@TheFrothyBrew]

I feel like most of Blessing's negatives could be virtually eliminated if he just stopped playing scared. He's worried about being under-leveled for an area, but leveling up is such a marginal improvement that grinding is almost always a waste of time. You just have to be brave, go exploring, and step up to the challenge when the time comes.

Beating the bosses after getting wrecked the first 150 times is more rewarding than any item you can find in a game.

[@Garoth4582]

Bless you aren't the lead on this review dude. You gotta quit dominating people's time and points. You did the same in the horizon review which you were the lead on so it's a bit more acceptable but just chill some man.

[@GamesCoffeeCollecting]

The one thing I can say to Blessing is that at some point, you stop caring about losing Souls, Blood Echoes, Runes, etc. In NG+3 of DS3, I once lost over 3 million souls. Obviously I'd already beaten the game a few times, and Souls arguably mean less at that point, but still, losing Souls/Echoes/Runes is just part of the process and you gotta be okay with that (in my opinion). Once you have that mindset, you feel a lot more free to explore and experiment and all that, without feeling burdened.

[@Kef_09]

Its funny when he mentions the mining cave, there is not like an upgrade weapon out it. The ball bearing are probably the most important item for progression in the game.

[@redrobotdubz]

After listening to Andy and Tam talk about this game, as well as hearing that it's online multiplayer, I think I have to make Elden Ring be my first Souls game.

I feel like blessing forgot how souls games work. So many people can go through the entire game with an early weapon/gear because their "rewards" were the upgrade materials/souls.

[@cdgatto]

Yup. People play the entirety of Dark Souls with the starter long sword. It’s about finding a move set you like, every weapon is viable.

[@aoe41015]

Not sure why everyone has to have this reviewed before launch? We’re already hyped. Tamoor even tweeted about him being physically weakened by the crunch for this game. Especially when HFW was just last week I think the reviews should have been pushed a month. Or just say impressions. There is no need to rush out a review score that few people even care about. Can’t wait for mine to come on Friday.

[@knightlysleeps]

It feels like Bless is really trapped in the linear From Soft game mindset. I had a bit of that in the first ten hours in Elden Ring. But at some point it just clicked and I felt this total freedom. This game makes it so easy to explore with very little risk. Recovering runes is easier than ever because of the mount and fast travel and being able to run from boss fights like Andy said. I'm at the point where I'm not really afraid of challenges or losing runes unless I'm inside a mini dungeon or tight space or no mount zone. And when I have too many runes to go in comfortably I just continue my open world exploration until I can spend them and then come back. There is just so much freedom in how difficult you want your experience to be and when you can tackle each challenge.

[@toddeggleston3556]

[@Alex_Logan22]

He didn't give it any score he was comfortable with, just an in-progress/unfinished score/review.

[@breadboi8747]

Yea; I feel like a lot of bless’ gripes with this game either have to do with things that are very inline with the genre or him looking more at what isn’t in the game as opposed to what is in the game. I’m sure there was plenty of those “I wish this was in the game, and it sucks that it isn’t” for plenty of other games like horizon so I don’t think it’s fair to look at it that why.

[@joesw22n]

First downloaded bloodborne when it was a free game with PS plus a few years ago - didn’t get far and discarded it as too hard and not a game for me. I Watched KZbinrs play sekiro when it came out and liked what I saw so bought a copy, but again, I didn’t get very far and ended up trading it in not long after. But When Demons Souls released at PS5 launch and Andy started streaming it, was hooked and wanted to play something new and shiny for the PS5. I took the leap of faith and bough it digitally so this time there was no going back. I Beat demons souls following Andy’s playthrough as a rough guide and a few months after that gave bloodborne another chance and got the platinum following a walkthrough. Super excited to give Elden ring a go but conscious of playing it so close to launch for guides!

[@breadboi8747]

Blessing’s disappointed with not getting a new useful weapon that makes you want to discard your old weapon for probably stems from the fact he hasn’t played dark souls. Even bloodborne to a degree has the same issue. In all of these souls games, I rarely changed weapons and even in bloodborne. Instead I would just stick to my axe and upgraded that to the max, maybe I would experiment with a few others but I would generally stick to one. I don’t know how he played bloodborne but I feel like this “issue” isn’t unique to eldenring
