>>733668131strongest souls loremaster
>>733668131Writing is gay lol. What the fuck are these dudes yapping about, I wanna run fast and shoot- I mean stab things. Why do boomers like these fucking snoozefests where dudes talk.This message brought to you by a fan of Dark Souls. The series known for fast paced, fly-by-your-seat action where you wander around a dead civilization where nothing makes sense and find a hidden path behind a fake wall behind a fire behind an optional boss that takes you to an area that doesn't matter.This series is dead. Full stop.Dark Souls is a series consumed by 9 year olds that just got their christmas money and gamer moms that play it for 4 hours total. No one knows what the point is or how it got there.
>>733668546>guy who plays games for story pretends to have standards
>>733668632I can't tell if this is a real post. It's pointless to argue with it regardless.What a sad stupid fate for this series of games.
>>733667836
>>733667836>there is this person... but it's actually this OTHER person!!!They made that trick like 5 times and it gets tiresome after just the first one
Times you shouted KINO
>>733669028KINO
>>733667836I think it is superb, another masterpiece by Miyazacki. Here's hoping Duskbloods is just as good with the steampunk setting.
>>733668546I lost IQ points reading this post
>>733670827This is what jeet shills think.
I think from’s way of doing stories, while it wouldn’t work for all games, is pretty good. Do you not give a shit about the story? Then it doesn’t get in the way. Do you really like deep lore and shit? They’ve got that if you want it.
>>733670827Duskbloods is gonna be sick
>>733670958Lore is 100% headcanon. It's FNAF without the animatronics.
>>733671120But it’s all literally spelled out. You just have to read.
>>733671120What part of the lore filtered you? If it ends up being something someone can explain in a single sentence I'm going to be very disappointed in you.
>>733670969Best of all it won't be a repeat of Bloodborne type console war shit because the shitposters who are into that will never play the role of being Nintendo fans.It should be the smoothest sailing a From Game has received since DaS. I mean people will try and Tortanic it, but what isn't these days?
>>733670969It's going to be another Concord since Miyazaki fell for the hero shooter looter meme.
>>733667836>this game is unbelievably stupidFTFY
>>733671794That's why it's an exclusive
>>733667836that's because you PLAY games, you don't READ them
>>733671670I think the audience for nintendo games will create a different atmosphere this time. Don't think we'll even see many threads for duskbloods. The meme about nintendo fans not buying 3rd party is real.
>>733667836>>733671912Ran out of cattlefeed to play on your shitch poo, eh?
>>733667836you should've know that when Jar Jar Martin's name was put on it
it's soulslop, the bad writing means it's more like an old hard game therefore good.
>>733667836But they got the poopy grimdark ultra gay fantasy writer man to write it!!! It's supposed to be heckign gooderino!!!
holy samefag
>>733672810Somthing terrible must have happened to him irl.
>>733673772The fun part is when the esoteric nonsense starts making sense and you start seeing faces on the walls.
>>733673772why is he so green
>>733673857He's been spamming it, same reason the random black dot is there lol. Its a way to get it past the system recognizing its the same image.
>>733667836To be honest, you need a high IQ to truly grasp the depth of Elden Ring's story.Take this character for instance, the Loathsome Dungeater.Well, he eats caca and pipi.You really need a solid understanding of the lore's fundamentals to understand all the ramifications that this character causes.
>>733667836What writing?
>>733674373There's a sword in the game that has the lore written on it.
>>733669385HFKLiterally every soulslop game
>pick up item>character is seemingly omniscient and immediately knows the great sword of lombardo belongs to an old royal family from eons ago, passed down through generationsgo on frompigsdefend this "immersive" storytelling
>>733674691Its a video game.
>>733667836>Hackzaki makes a shite gameWho could have seen that coming...
>why you teleport to farum azula after burning the tree is never explained>what the elden ring even does is never directly spelled out in game despite it being the ultra important macguffin >nobody can explain how death even works without schizobabbling>godfrey’s true identity was supposed to be some big twist yet hoarah loux WOAHRIOORRR is only mentioned a single time in the fucking slideshow presentation intro>what the scooby tree in the dlc does isn’t explained at all (it’s a nitpick but at least the regular tree’s purpose is explained)>godefroy the graftedIt’s weird how the game that was billed with le GoT fatman doing half the writing ended up the messiest Souls game lore wise.
>>733675402Don't you teleport to Farum Azula to collect the Death Rune so you can burn the impenetrable thorns from the Erdtree?
>>733675402>>what the elden ring even does is never directly spelled out in game despite it being the ultra important macguffinbro are you telling me you literally cant imagine
>>733677467Yes, you'd have to have been scrolling tiktok while playing to have missed this extremely simple piece of information.
>>733674691Remember in demons souls, it had an item called "sticky white stuff"? thats what it is, they just had to change the name because westerners made fun of it. so the translation had messed it up and they just outright removed it
>>733675402>Melina implies that she will send you to Farum Azula once she's sacrificed herself. How she does this is about as unknowable as her state of being.>The Elden Ring governs some degree of how reality works, what with how Mending Runes change some sort of aspect of "the age" that comes after and how Sealing the Rune of Death stopped people from dying normally.>Nobody with grace (gold eyes) can die of old age. Bodies that are touched by Death Root come back to life as half-dead beings much like Godwyn himself.>Godfrey was intended to be Horah Loux for most of the game serving as a guide character, like another attempt at doing Oscar, only for the final fight to reveal that he and Godfrey are the same. This was cut, so they couldn't do much aside from throwing in the twist that he was one of the tarnished in the intro.>The Scadutree is just how the Erdtree's presence appears to be in the sealed land, that's it. All abilities pertaining to it describe it as such.>Godefroy was a really bad example of padding, like Demon Fire Sage. Just cope and pretend he was another part of the Golden Lineage who engaged in Grafting.
>>733667836No. The writing in The Messenger is unbelievably stupid. I've heard things about his wannabe chrono trigger RPG, but I don't even wanna try it to confirm.
>>733667836its legit 1/10 writing>living world>no cities where anybody lives>you walk around>you kill everybody for no reason>you get attacked by everybody for no reason>nobody understands who the fuck any of those NPCS are>dont find that random place NPC teleported to? good luck, you just skipped 20% of the loreafter i finished it i had no idea who i played at, what was my goal, what the fuck is that giant tree, what the fuck is the elden ring, and who the fuck am i even fighting at the end or whydosnt help that the hooded chick only talks to you at specific campfires, but you dont know which, if you dont rest and only activate them you never speak to her
>>733667836OP is unbelievably retarded.
Zullie the Witch is trans right? Just watched the latest video and that voice filter shit is suspicious
>>733675402>>why you teleport to farum azula after burning the tree is never explainedi just dont get this at allcouldnt they be assed just making another magic flying coffin animation, which is already retarded as fuck, but its somethingseriously, why the fuck do they fly?
>>733679082>seriously, why the fuck do they fly?its magic
>>733678886NEET girls generally have low, androgynous voices due to the many afflictions of being a shut in. I honestly pity you if you don't know girls that sound like that.
>>733679438There is a filter on the voice though, pretty obviously
>>733679497Show me
>>733667836The problem it barely has any writing in it, and what is there of it, is garbage.
>>733679523https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYM1dmXp9Zs
>>733679523how does one show you something you can only hear?
>>733679351ye, but why a coffin?why a random coffin, in middle of nowhere, made out of stone, at the edge of a cliff that falls over and ... flies upits just so fucking stupid and random
>>733679634Link a video or something dummy, you can't show someone a song?>>733679623But where's the voice changer? Where's the real voice? I just hear an androgynous shut in.
>>733667836I mean, the problem is that a lot of it is without context, and the devs are depending on the player creating that context. Also a lack of meaningful RPG elements in interacting with characters in the story that isn't just "yes/no/kill NPC". I mean, even Fallout 4 was better than that.
>>733679743I'm not going to help you understand voice filters, it's fine if you disagree
>>733679082>>733679668DLC may explain it. There are all these giant stone boats in Cerulean coast. They are in awkward positions implying they weren't built on the places they rest. They all appear to be heading to the pit St. Trina is in, with many already stuck in the walls.A ghost in the river leading there makes a remark about the stone boats floating there. Now either those things are designed to move at at a hundred year pace through the land or they at one point were magically floating around at some point.All the float coffins are in Nox zones, and the stone boats are probably Numen related.
>>733679990>I know what I'm talking aboutGo meet some girls
>>733674373something he made up
>>733679879i would say more, a lot of it is contradictory, nonsensical, and just dosnt make senseentire game feels like an amusement park, not a real living worldwhat annoys me the most is that outside of few npcs, all of which die ofc, there seems no place in this world where people actually livem, every village and city we do see is destroyed or ran over by monsters, which dosnt matter since human "enemies" behave the same way
>>733679743why do you need a link to something you've already seen? you want a montage of evidence or something?
>>733680318You're the one claiming she's a tranny. Give me the evidence montage.
>>733669095Because identity is a big theme in ASOIAF, including people having secret identities, multiple people being in one body and people not being who they say they are.
