Well done with the vid Sparty. Well paced, witty, strong delivery, good context when it was needed. Love that you're always bringing high quality stuff, leaving a comment to hope that you can be granted the blessing of grace - or better yet, the algorithm.

[@italianspartacus]

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the encouragement :D

[@aranasaurus]

man, I love your take on things and the way you put things together. One of my favorite channels. This was a great recap of things and laid out in a way I could follow much better than many other ER lore videos. Now I actually want to go back and watch some of those more in-depth ones after watching this because I feel like you unlocked a bunch of things in my brain meats so those other lore vids will actually sink in finally. I appreciate you!

[@italianspartacus]

Aw man that's huge thank you so much dude!

[@Hathsin]

Looking forward to the dlc this week. I figured this would make a good primer to get back in.

[@italianspartacus]

Thank you so much for watching! It goes live in just a few hours!

[@The_Kelt]

Awesome video, brother! I appreciate that you always put your heart into every video you create - it says a lot about your hustle. The mark of a quality content creator! I’m confident you’ll be hitting views in the 5+ digits again soon. “…and one day, we'll return together… to our home, bathed in rays of gold.”

[@italianspartacus]

Hahaha thank you brother!!

[@nodiff9772]

With the dlc here now i'm so glad you've put out this video. Good refresher on the core basics of the Elden Ring lore and super easy to follow. Thank you! ❤

[@italianspartacus]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sirmarkolot]

I'm a fan of the new kind of videos, my man! Nice work! ❤

[@italianspartacus]

Glad you like them!!!

[@HelheimUnbound]

Great video and great job explaining a weird and complex story. Would be great to see more of these for these types of games.

[@italianspartacus]

More to come! :)

[@marybdrake1472]

Fascinating stuff. That closed a lot of gaps in what I had heard before now.

[@italianspartacus]

My pleasure Mary!

[@TheMaliciousMrT]

Why was this not in my algorithm! Awesome vid

[@mspilot8283]

Quite enjoyed this format. Thanks IS

[@italianspartacus]

Of course! Thanks for watching :D

[@user-mu8dm4rk7g]

That was a pretty good one! I really liked how you digested seemingly indigestible FromSoftware lore, you made it kinda interesting to me (I wasn't interested in it before) and your jokes definitely helped me out quite a bit! 😅 Keep doing what you're doing, Sparty, you're doing great 👏🏻

[@italianspartacus]

SPASIBO BRATAN!!

[@WanderersPath05]

Been watching since bg3! Love your work dude.

[@italianspartacus]

Thank you for staying with me brother!! Hahaha

[@WanderersPath05]

[@Dark3Nesz]

this needs more views very good bite sized lore vid

[@italianspartacus]

Thank you so much brother! Share it if you'd like, it's STRUGGLING

[@demonfandango]

15 minutes to cover the basic lore is impressive. Vaatividya has videos on the lore that are over an hour and the crazy thing is the way From Software present information means that there are only certain aspects of the world/lore that people agree on and some other things are simply inferred and then there's multiple interpretations or theories that spring up. I love that sort of stuff but get why people don't like the vagueness of how it is delivered in the base game. However, they do treat the player the same as the tarnished they play, who knows f'all about The Lands Between and I like that but also understand the argument against it. Also, I believe the story telling for SOTE is more straightforward so hopefully folks won't be frustrated by it with the DLC in that regard. Anyway, keep up the good work.

[@italianspartacus]

Thank you!! That's some high praise!

[@charlesindigo5155]

Top tier content 👌🏿

[@italianspartacus]

[@italianspartacus]

Thank you brother!

[@r061364]

Engagement!

[@italianspartacus]

Thank you so much!! I need it right now Hahah

[@geekmansegraves]

Honestly, the storytelling in fromsoft games is my biggest grope about their design.... well, that and their broken hitboxes that keep getting me killed. But seriously, I'm not a dumb guy, but if you have a story to tell, even a vague one, then just tell it in a tangible way.

[@italianspartacus]

i totally agree with the story telling - it's frustrating but MAN I LOVE their hitboxes, they're absolutely perfect in my opinion!!

[@geekmansegraves]

@italianspartacus surely it's the hitboxes and not my lack of skill! :P
