Dropped at Farum Azula and don't feel badanyone else give up with this game?
I dropped it at Elden Beast.Fuck that shit.
I got filtered at the lava zone at release and never played it again exept for invading at lvl 60 at the respec boss. It took me like 300 hrs before i knew what great runes and rememberance did and i had only 2 talismans lol. Just zwie and giant hunt
I dropped it when i realized spell-BOOKS only give, like, TWO spellsI also dropped it when i realized the spirit ashes from the trailers weren't pets that stay with you forever.
>>729467771the graphics are unironically really bad. everyone says theyre good but im 100% serious theyre not
i killed the big fire giant guy and i stopped
>>729468318you don't like yellow green filters and neon slop?
>>729467771Does it count if I completed the base game, but have no intention on getting the DLC nor do I have any desire to replay it because I fucking hated the open world design by the end of it?

E33 fag cope thread
Honestly there needs to be a setting to just slow everything down. Especially in the dlc. Idk how the game has become dodge 20 frame perfect attacks in a row to hit the boss once.DS3 had the perfect balance. Elden ring is just goofy with all the rolling.
>>729468572>oy vey! are you saying you didn't enjoy parryslop level grinding after spending hours getting towards the end game?! how dare you! you must be stupid!
>>729468835what does expedition 33 have to do with Elden Ring schizo? take your meds and quit acting like the game is coming for you in your dreams
>>729468238Just play the seamless coop modIf lets you summon everywhere
>>729469135Dark Souls I absolutely sucked at but I can say definitely it was fair, Elden Ring is just ridiculous.
>i gave up at the finish line
>>729467771nah, i pushed through and didn't enjoy it but i can at least say i finished iti don't think i'm enjoying fromsoft games anymore desu, i'm tired of the formula but how else do you do action without blocking and parrying or something similar?
>>729469295>finish line>can't clear the Godskin Duo>still have multiple bosses ahead including the Elden Beast which a lot of people gave up on
>>729469443If you're already at Farum Azula you have Maliketh and Radagon remaining and that's pretty much it for required bosses
>>729469424idk the only other option is to return to the God of War formula or Ninja Gaiden
>>729469195You think everyone can't see it?
>>729469491Problem is I genuinely am not good enough at the game to finish it at this point, I barely made it through the fire giant.
>>729469491you can skip ofnir and horah loux?
>>729469443>>can't clear the Godskin Duothis just means youre a complete shitter. im horrible at video games and i still completed the game playing how i want with just bad weapons you can literally put those two shitters to sleep
>>729469542no one sees anything cause no one is talking about that game
>>729469638Gideon's barely even a boss but I did forget about Hoarah Loux>>729469634Get a Haligtree Crest greatshield and upgrade it a bit + infuse it with Sacred and you can borderline ignore Radagon and Elden Beast
>>729469642Eh I mean I'm not good at the game I just leveled a lot and did my best to get where I am with a lot of co op summons
>>729469443Use your embers/humanity or w.e. they're called and turtle jerky for stamina. If youre really struggling you can always respec for a boss and respec back.Nothing in the bass game is really that hard at level 150ish but you can keep leveling up.
>>729469634>I barely made it through the fire giant.well that boss is just not fun and hard for no reason. thats probably the worst boss in the game so youre fine dude.when i first playing i kept seething and made myself thi
Elden Ring is way too long to the point where I get put off by the idea replaying it due to how much of a time investment finishing the game is. And that's not including the DLC. Souls combat is honestly just not in-depth or interesting enough to sustain a game of ER's length. After fighting the 40th boss where I press the roll button at the right time I start to get bored.
>>729467771I finished it 5 times, as:>fake wizard (actually a 1 int retard that used magical ashes of war)>faith cleric with mace/great stars>INT/FAI spellblade with pre-nerf sword of night and flame>pre-fix immolation machine gun, with the erdtree greatshield>arcane dragon cultistfun game, wouldn't recommend the pvp though
>>729467771I slogged through to the end, but everything after the capitol fucking sucked and I wish it ended much sooner.
>>729469691keeek ok shill
>>729467960This but unironically, holy shit what a garbage fight
>>729469959Elden Ring kicks fucking ass if you play as a spellsword, I wasn't expecting STR/INT and DEX/INT to get glowed up so hard but Carian sorceries and the improvements to all the Farron sword sorceries from DS3 made it actually fun to play as a swordsman that casts spells instead of just a weapon enchanter.
>>729469860what weapons are you using, unironically. gear too, post your build>>729469768then if you havent gotten them to +10 dont feel bad to use the op summons like dung eater, mimic tear, or especially tiche
One of the worst games I’ve ever played. The losers on this board are so easily swayed by esoteric fromsoft gook bullshit it blows my mind. The story is boring as fuck and has to be pieced together (real entertaining stuff exactly the kind of thing you want from visual media) the gameplay is just darksouls roll slop pasted on an open word. Fromsofties are as bad as tendies at this point.
>>729470402Based e33 chad
>>729469805Damn, the fire giant got him in the end.
>>729470402Piecing the lore together IS fun, but Elden Ring doesn't have a story.You don't need to look any farther than the network test before launch where things were datamined like>Hoarah Loux, the GoldmaskI bet that was going to be cool
>>729470581>there is no story because horah loux and Goldmask didn't have a conversation even though the roundtable is still therebrainlets...
>>729470695So, in your opinion, what was my statement about?
>>729470762Nothing, because it's the same thing as dark souls which you love
>>729470402the lore is nice but I wish they would have let you piece it together in a journal rather than wasting hours looking for items to look at their descriptions
>>729467771The only reason I don't regret finishing Elden Ring is Rykard, first phase Godfrey and first phase RadagonDespite thinking the game is mediocre, I still bought the DLC, at least it has some great bosses like Bayle, first phase Radahn, Midra and Messmer (which is the best boss of Elden Ring, and maybe the third best boss FromSoftware ever made)
>>729470926Well, you are half right, this DOES relate to Dark Souls because Dark Souls also never got fully realized, either, which also shows the problems with Elden Ring and why it has no story when everything can get switched around last minute to make the game's progression make any sort of "sense"And no, I don't love this about Dark Souls, either.I hope you appreciate how long it has taken me to solve this captcha.
>>729470004 You crackin' up in the middle of a Fromsoft slapfight is peak /v/, kek. But fr, if you think anybody defending the game must be a shill you might need to step away from the keyboard and touch the grace, champ. Elden Ring ain’t flawless but calling every fan a paid actor is some terminal Twitter-tier cope.
>>729471454>didn't post the imageClassic.
godskin nobles are one of my fav bosses in the game.
>>729469443I dunno how people have trouble with Godskin Duo. I beat them my first shot, despite accidentally dropping into their arena with half my potions. There's a bunch of pillars to let you get fatty stuck on while you demolish slim shady
>>729471471Ok e33 shill
>>729469712Gideon can wreck your shit if you let him finish monologuing and give him a chance to build up projectile spam. Hilariously enough, if you beat Malenia first, he gets significantly easier since he'll try using Scarlet Aeonia against you, leaving himself about as wide open as when he was yammering on.
>>729470221People weren't kidding about Tiche. Used her on my second playthrough against Malenia and was not disappointed. Often when I thought I was gonna get caught with my pants off mid-windup, Tiche comes along and knocks Malenia's head into the rotten dirt right before I become a shish kebab
>>729471405Rykard is a gimmick fight. Just use the damn spear
>>729472334Black Knife and Destined Death op
>>729472495I'm not criticizing the Rykard fight, on the opposite, it's one of the reasons why I don't regret playing Elden Ring, since it's probably the best gimmick fight FromSoftware made at the moment.
>>729467771I dropped it after beating Margit SL1 with starter gear, took me about 60 tries to do it, then I didn't feel like playing any further.I didn't really care for the open-world exploration aspect of it.
>>729467771Nah, I played it all the way through and I loved it.
Finished every souls game except this one. Just finished bloodborne which is legit hardest souls game in the series with so much unfair bullshit throw at you. Feels like a cracked up dark souls 3 bosses game with the fat rolling from 2 with 0 adaptability. I wonder how bad this one gonna be judging by the videos i seen but the rolling seems incredibly OP like 3.
I'm in my 4th playthrough and I stopped progressing at the snowfield. I don't want to burn the tree. Every time I hate having to do that.
>>729467771Dropped AFTER Farum Azula. My tarnished got too strong and made the game too easy
>>729473846Yeah? I dropped it DURING caramel Asuka.
>>729467771I cheated to beat general consort radan. fuck that shit. way to hard. i had infinte hp and he still killed me one time. kek. rigged.
Never even started it.
>>729474354Consort Radahn isn't hard if you're a greatshield + greatspear chad
bros what should i run for ng+ playthrough?went through base game and dlc with claymore only
>>729474535Consort radahn isn't hardShitters complain
This game is so pretty
>>729474858So are Ubisoft games. Both are BORING AS SHIT, too.
>>729474969E33 fag grasping hard
>>729467771it was my first soulslike and i beat the whole thing multiple times. u guys suck.
>>729474837the ultimate way to experience elden ring is to run a level 200 build with50 vigor25 mind25 endurance22 strength40 dex29int38 faith55 arcane this allows you to use every single weapon in the game(a handful may need talismans to boost stats)it allows you to use 90% of the incantations and spells (again may need a talisman or two for a handful)this means than you can switch gear on the fly taking advantage of enemy weaknessesthe most fucking boring way to play a game with a hundred weapons is to be locked in to one typeyou will still slaughter everything with these stats
>>729474535pre-patched version is bullshit. fuk that.
>>729475350>but le waterfowl is basedd
>>729475330here are some examples of playing with those stats https://youtu.be/x9BFYlFtJpAhttps://youtu.be/1qdm_fa7AbQhttps://youtu.be/yB10YE3wntY
>>729474858Rauh is a completely different vibe at every time of day. It's great
>me when the kino hits
>>729475330>>729475825thanks bro ill check some of these out
>>729467771Nah. I beat Malenia once and never wanted to go through Haligtree ever again. I have five characters and only one went through that dungeon. Only one beat the DLC because I didn't wanna go through that again neither.
>>729476519https://youtu.be/8pbWOV9sHNYstop letting malenia control the fight and you will bury her
>>729467771>world is empty>90% of all rewards in the dungeons that were mostly copy/pasted were just summons you will never use or some bullshit you won't touch>the world barely had anything unique or exciting in it.>all bosses felt the same to fight because of the awful AI and how the entire game is just input reading
>>729475539I've been playing sense the atari 2600... that shit was fucking brutal. kek.
>>7294767531000 hour player herei agreei agreei agreeno, the main bosses all have their own unique flow and require time and patience to understand, the vast majority of players get frustrated and try to brute force them, but this is fromsoft at their peak of boss design
>>729475114>it was my first soulslikeOkay, people liking the game more because they've never played rollslop before is understandable... But how the fuck do you cope with the open world? Do you really enjoy having 50% of your playtime wasted on mind numbing jogging?
>>729467771I didn't drop it at Farum Azula because at that point you have like 5h left or soBut yeah, by that time I was fucking tired of the game, and the only good thing left is Placidusax and Radagon
>>729477050I have to agree hereAll the bosses feel fairly different, they are largely all fucking trash, but different trash
>>729467771I dropped it after 600+ hours over five different charactersGod what a great game
Daily filtered shitter general
>>729476382They look so goofy
>>729467771yes. me at altus plateau. it feels like a chore. its a shitty mid game
>>729467771I beat it once and then never again, it felt like a chore to play after a while since exploring yields no proper rewards aside from a new type of grass to craft a new type of who-fucking-cares that I'm never gonna use since craftable items have no meaningful impact on the gameplay at all and you can just rollspam and basic attack your way through everything. I guess you can spam whatever sword laser they gave you now too since that's the meme they went with, you and the boss get sword lasers now because reasons and flashy lights. I remain firm in my belief that elden ring was carried by fromsoft cultits giving them free marketing because this is fromsoft's weakest in their post-souls catalog by far. The open world and the horse added NOTHING to the grand scheme of things other than more game time running around.
>>729467771I wish Nightrein didn't exist and they spent 6 more months polishing up the DLC. Why do most of the bosses not talk? Why are the Stone Coffins, Midra's Manse, and Castle Ensis so underwhelming?
>>729469443Are people joking about Elden beast? I’m not some super pro player, in fact I find most soulsfags obnoxious as shit with the skill issue shit they parrot but Elden beast was easy as fuck for me
>>729478206No, shitters are not joking, they are seriously so bad at the game that they can't kill a giant target that consistently swims towards them
He did nothing wrong and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
>>729477050>>729476753you are both retarded. every dungeon had a good item in it.>NOOO IT DOESNT WORK FOR MY BUILD!didnt ask.
finished the game twice on release week and havent touched since.overall just a worse, dark souls version of dragons dogma.
>>729477861>I beat it once and then never again, it felt like a chore to play after a while since exploring yields no proper rewards lol>aside from a new type of grass to craft a new type of who-fucking-cares that I'm never gonna use since craftable items have no meaningful impact on the gameplay at alllol>craftable items have no meaningful impact on the gameplay at allask me how i know you didnt actually play the game.
>>729477118i just look it up on the interet to see if its worth doing, or just follow the build guide to get what i need
>>729478691Aah yes summon spirit nr#5325 that summons a crow, very helpful!
>>729467771For me, the best part of this game was the exploration and character creation (and not the boss fights), so I'll usually stop playing when I get to the last boss. I've had 4 or 5 playthroughs where I've gotten right to the end, attempted the last boss 2 or 3 times, then stopped because for me the experience was already over. This goes for the dlc, too. Only one attempt at Rydon, or whatever his name was.
>>729478206Elden ring has one attack that can theoretically kill you. If you get caught by the first swing on his holy wave combo, you will die. It runs away a lot otherwise because it has absolutely no threats otherwise. It's annoying for sure, especially without torrent like on release, but not hard at all. Radagon is way more difficult. But also a lot better to play.People refuse to get good.
>>729479107which dungeon in particular did you think had useless rewards?
>>729474858That fire golem being in Rauh really ruined the area
>>729467771Dropped at tree sentinel
>>729467771>Dropped at Farum Azula and don't feel badyou should, because farum azula isn't even the hardest part of the game, haligtree is probably harder and is usually done earlier
>>729469135Yeah, DS1 was good in that regard, it was a lot slower paced and everything felt more weighty rather than 0 gravity infinity rolling and anime jumping around
>>729467771I dropped it at Atlas Plateau, after I got tired of Liurnia. I rode on through, went through a pretty lackluster "dungeon", fight a lackluster dragon, and then the next enemy I fought was some fatty I had already fought a bunch of times in catacombs. It was already feeling repetitive as I had played every souls games at that point, and I just had enough.I did return months later, and the only way I was able to beat it was because I ignored a lot. Which is the exact opposite how I enjoy games, especially open worlds. I don't know when, but I do remember thinking it was going on for too long. The world was empty and felt really lifeless. I know some people think that's a good thing, but I really can't see how. Sure, it fits the lore that there aren't kids playing hide and seek, a booming economy, or whatever. But what I mean is something different happening in the world. Day to night is just some bats spawning in and then going back and forth in a line. No odd encounter, no enemy soldiers going wandering like STALKER.
>>729480472Gave me a good chuckle when he got me for the first time with the long-range fire spiral. I was dicking around with the guys, hanging on the bridge, then saw the massive fuck-you-inferno headed my way in awe, wondering if it could really reach me that far. Then it kept coming and there was no escape. Actual boss was easy (Shard Spiral my beloved) and died in two crits, but I felt humbled by being caught so bewildered.
>>729475539Waterfowl is cringe as fuck too
You can admit you gave up, but I'll never respect you for it. You're on the video game board, the ONLY metric of hierarchy here is what games you are good at
>>729479447which didn't?
>>729477551I wonder why they decided to make them so doofy for the second generation when the chicks from the last batch were such babes. Granted the guys look pretty fucked and all their legs just atrophied, but they've been around longer.
>>729469135You don't HAVE to dodge anything. You can slap on the heaviest armor and shield and hold left trigger to be functionally invulnerable if you build even slightly correctly (for this strategy). ER lets you be the tankiest in any FROM game since DS1.
>>729481208First generation Albinaurics always lose their legs, second generation Albinaurics are frog-men but remain mobile their entire lives. Nightreign says there's a third generation of Albinaurics that remain ambulatory their entire lives and have human appearances but have a rapid aging disorder, of which Scholar is one this isn't actually a spoiler, any attack that hits Scholar causes him to bleed silver instead of red, and his enormous Arcane stat relative to every other character is a giveaway
>>729481539>third generation of AlbinauricsSo, the second gen fuck and they turn into normal ass humans ? (for the most part obviously)
>>729477669It's the greatest game ever you absolute mongoloid Also /v/ is the asshole of 4chan. /sp/ here, we laugh at you all the time
