“A game that’s not made for everyone isn’t a game that should be made” The paradox of this statement is that if you dumbed down Elden Ring to be for babies, then you’d turn away all the fans that love the challenge, ergo, it’s not for them anymore. There is literally no way to achieve this standard for anything ever, game or otherwise. But Quantum abuses DMCA to silence criticism so fuck whatever he has to say anyway.

All of these people with shit reviews and game devs with terrible takes think games have only 2 possible setups for players.

Or have it setup so you can just be a total murder hobo with no consequence or boundaries in the game whatsoever. There are only 2 sides and it's the complete extremes. Nuance in game design? Pfft, wow you must be terrible at making games!

[@ma.2089]

Reminds me of this time I saw a complaint about undertale where they were angry you were locked out of the true/best ending if you killed someone. And that if you killed everyone (which is a very difficult thing to do accidentally), you’re permanently punished. Some ppl just hate the idea of any form of consequences in video games.

And besides, isn't Elden Ring the most accessible FromSoftware game? The whole Ashes and Summons thing really make the game a cakewalk and it doesn't take too much effort to initially access them.

[@julienpoeschl]

Thank you for trying it out even tho you were initially intimitated!

[@TheMrDrProfGamer]

@@YasaiTsume having been here since Dark Souls 1, yes. Elden Ring is easily the most accessible FromSoft title. That doesn't mean it's easy, but the game gives you so much right off the bat. Get stuck somewhere? Move on, explore, find a dungeon and get a sick new piece of gear to level and use. The game is only as hard as you make it on yourself. It gives you the tools, you just need to learn how to use them. You're going to die, yes, and it WILL be frustrating, but if you learn from those mistakes you'll begin to die far less frequently. "Git gud" is always seen as condescending, but the real meaning was just to always keep at it and put in the effort. Nobody starts good at Dark Souls, we were all filthy casuls once.

Hard disagree. Sekiro has that title as the lack of rpg mechanics means there's no need to find a good build and you can instantly start learning the mechanics. This also makes it potentially more challenging due to not being able to cheese wins by over leveling.

[@dragonfell5078]

As Iron Pineapple said; "The game is as hard as you make it" Having trouble with a boss? Channel your inner shounen protagonist and train until you get stronger. A certain playstyle not working for you? Try something else. Summons, magic, plenty of ways you can make the game work for you. The fact that Elden Ring is open world means that if there's a boss you're having trouble with, you can just run away and explore somewhere else.

" when you die you literally lose everything so you're basically reset which makes levelling up extremely hard" - Tell me you didn't read the tutorial tips about reclaiming your souls without telling me. The best part is that EVERY tutorial note is also available from your inventory too, so you can literally just check them again at any time. It's not like you have to go back to the tutorial area to re-read them. It's insane to me that anyone who seriously tries to call themselves a game reviewer on YT would put out something like that Quantum guy. Something SO incredibly and obviously, factually incorrect, but also with an antagonistic attitude where he tells Elden Ring fans to kill themselves, that they're losers with no life and no family or friends, that the game looks bad, that people who like it are FUCKING ABUSE VICTIMS (honestly the rest of the shit was funny but as someone who was assaulted in multiple ways by a female stalker i had at university, that shit genuinely made me angry) all because that fucking retard couldn't figure out basic shit, and made ZERO attempt to learn about it, ask questions of the fanbase, or spend some time understanding it. Instead he put out an incorrect, offensively antagonistic "review" and then acted surprised that he got shit for it. Nobody cares if you think a game isn't for you or not, but when you put out blatantly false statements and lies in your review, whilst ALSO insulting the people who like it, is it any surprise people aren't like "oh hey now buddy that's not very nice, do you need some help?" but instead react like "Hey fuck you, you lying, idiotic piece of shit.

As someone who's first souls game was Elden Ring... honestly it's a very good opening soulslike in my opinion. If you feel like a challenge, you can take on a boss underleveled and really appreciate their movements with great reward. If you want an easier time, then you can farm runes in another area/go do something else and come back whenever you've leveled up/feel like it. Considering what I've heard about other souls games, because of the open world and free rune farming it's probably the easiest souls game-not even including the many builds, including op ones. Maybe I've just gotten good, or my build is good, but this game has great difficulty scaling for everyone since you can decide when you want to do certain bosses and areas, plus rescale your character whenever after you defeat a certain boss. It sounds like Quantum just didn't want to learn boss movements/level f*cking vigor! PS: Thank you for coming to my ted talk

or do what the average player does: use a wiki. This way you can find out what are the good builds, where the good/important items are, the good tactics to beat each boss and how to realistically do the questlines. I am not entirely sarcastic either, just look at the percentages of the achievements. The secret ending that requires you to do a questline has more completions than the standard ending (6.5% more as of now). This means that among the people that completed the game only once and got only 1 of the endings there are more players that got the secret ending. To get this kind of consistency in Elden Ring's contrived questlines it means that most of the players used a guide in their fist playthrough.

Not because he’s insanely good at the game but because he didn’t give up and tried different options and used the vast amount of mechanics the game provides.

I also see people saying that he’s unfair to colossal weapons, which kind of makes sense but.. he still has quite a few attacks that colossal can punish, you just can’t punish them with charged heavys (the only attacks colossal users know how to use) so they think the attack is unpunishable.

The “go unalive yourself” comment really hits hard. Part of why I started Elden Ring was seeing videos on the phenomenon of people dealing with mental health struggles by playing souls games.

He’s a jerk. Elden ring is incredible. And it’s so cool that it gave you a motivational boost. Stay strong.

[@AstroNut88]

I felt this. EldenRing is the only game that made me feel alive again after going through some dark times. I feel at home everytime I am in the Lands Between. It gets super frustrating when you hit a certain point that you fight a boss for hours on end only to call it quits at one point to grind some more to boost your fighting chance and still spend another ungodly amount of time for the next attempt. But all those frustration gets washed away once you finally conquer that hurdle. Like shit, I almost lost my sanity fighting the Fire Giant my first playthrough due to the godawful times I had to ran back, buff up just to die multiple times I can't even remember how many. It was exhausting af but I never quit until I broke that mfs leg and eventually slayed the fkin poor bastard, Only to experience same goddamned thing when I finally faced Maliketh. 😂 But I never did quit because through the frustrations and roadblocks I find EldenRing very much enjoyable. That was only the first playthrough which was vanilla hack and slash af and I haven't even tried the plethora of different builds I could make. I didn't even understand most of the movesets, buffs and Talismans the first playthrough but I still found the game enjoyable. EldenRing is game of the year and it fuckin deserved that spot. PS. Elden Ring is my first Soulsborne so it was a batism by fire. 😂 But I finished the hell out of that game and still playing it to this day.

Quantum simply doesn't understand THATS what caused him all this pain, not his review, but his sh*tty-ness as a human being did. He genuinely is a bigoted, hateful, spiteful, little man filled with hubris and unjustified confidence (if its not just an act to cover up what I assume are his many many insecurities).

1st time Fromsoft player here. In the first hour or two I'll admit, I struggled. The stats and systems were a tad overwhelming at first and I had no idea what was going on with anything. But it's as you said; I learned. I took time to look up guides for absolute beginners, practiced combat on weaker enemies and now I can say I'm fairly okay at the game. But it's BY FAR the best game I've played in a veryyyy long time, maybe ever. One moment that will stay with me forever will easily be wandering the nearby swamp/lake area near the start. Very low level with nothing but my katana +1, starting armour and Torrent. Suddenly a dragon swoops down onto a bonfire and I shit myself. But the way the dragon moved, the visuals of the fire breath, the intesity of the music, omg it was thrilling. And I can proudly say that I took the beast down without dying. I quickly got his moveset figured out, stayed at a distance on horseback and baited out his big firebreath attack, and quickly sprinted to his hind legs and hacked away. Rinse and repeat for 15 minutes and he fell. I then got too cocky and got humbled by some bats lol. Sorry for the big comment but this game is my new absolute favourite and I refuse to play anything else until I 100% it.

FromSoftware is one of the game Devs that gives a fudge about their fans. They deserve the praise. Yes, the game was buggy at launch (hello gaming industry we have known for the last 15 years). The only problem it still has is the unstable framerate here and there. Still one of the best games I have played in years

I was shite at Souls games because I thought they were too hard and that was it. Eldenring opened my eyes to brutal punishment and learning to love it. If it had an easy mode I wouldn't have explored to grind and level up resulting in missing all the incredible lore and tools for the job. That's the point, it makes you take the game seriously. Study the boss movements, research weaknesses and in doing so the game opens up and you finally get it. Bloodborne still scares me but I know after committing fully it will be my biatch.( one day) 😊 You get out what you put in, its that simple. I love the hidden lore and story, it teaches you to observe EVERYTHING and take on bosses like your life depends on it. All you need to fall in love with Eldenring is time and commitment. If you're default is to lower the difficulty then that says more about you than the games you're playing.
