Who are these people?
I think he's a horrible boss both to fight and to finish the story. They must have had another idea planned and then changed it due to people saying they liked Radahn so much. I refuse to accept that they went into the DLC with zombie Radahn planned. It still doesn't make sense to me.

tubers running out of shit to make videos out of, stop getting your opinion on youtube, retard.
>>
>>736412448
No one says this boss is good. Messmer was good.
>>
>>736412448
happens with every game/dlc that comes out
people flip out and act like game design experts and once the boss is figured out and turns out to be not as bad as they thought everyone settles down
>>
>>736412448
Fromfags have no standards, they accept anything as long as someone can convience them that Mitsubishisan was once in the same room when yet another rollslop was made
>>
>>736412694
Radahn was bad and messmer was mid imo. Its just a letdown compared to the main game. The insane guy library boss was good tho imo.
>>
>>736412448
He just isn't as annoying as his rotten sister
>>736412626
It is pretty obvious From considers Radahn extremely important with him serving as the games Anor londo/Rom
>>
>>736412748
I liked him, the finger boss, lion boss, insect boss, and flower boss. I thought the bone guy was cool in concept but annoying to fight due to the charge attacks. Bayle was fine except for the game hyping him up too much.
>>
>>736412448
I want to know what causes retards like you to be unable to differentiate between people.
>>
>>736412448
Just use a shield and poke him to death lol

By who? Filtered shitters and whiny Redditors, maybe...

They once again realised the superiority of Fromsoftware. Simple as.
>>
>>736412448
beat his ass before the nerfs in under 30 minutes, easy game
was really funny seeing all these retards seethe at this boss
>>
>>736412448
People are salty while they're getting their asses kicked by a new boss, then once things finally click and they figure out how to win their mood gets a lot better. I know from experience because I do the same exact thing lmao
>>
>>736412448
I still think he's pretty bad. Worst DLC final boss Fromsoft has made. There are worse bosses in the DLC, but someone actually thought Vengarl wearing a wig was a good ultimate final boss for elden ring
>>
>>736413216
Nah
I beat him in three tries.
I have since beaten him with three more characters, two of which were meme builds.
He's dogshit. Genuinely one of the low points of an already unspectacular DLC.

Bayle is pretty much only hype and presentation though.
Take that away and he's just another dragon boss, with all the issues Fromsoft can't seem to shake when designing them. Placi, Sinh, and Midir are all better fights.
>>
>>736413216
Nigger it's a recycled boss. If you're not a shitter that summoned for the first time you should have had no problems with him.
>>
>>736413360
The fact you think doing him in 3 sounds impossible says a lot more about you than it does about me
>>
>>736413387
>Nebulous non-criticisms
sounds about right. you didn't beat bayle did you? you can admit it, he's pretty tough
>>
He was a "huh?" boss but very rewarding to master.

REMINDER IF YOU DIDN'T BEAT HIM BY 1 MONTH INTO SOTE THEN YOU DID NOT BEAT THE GAME
>>
>>736413425
i'm confused. is it "him" or "me" you're talking about? or are you just a disingenuous samefagging shitter? i certainly hope you didn't just expose yourself as one
>>
>>736413438
Second try.
He got me with his phase transition fireballs on my first.

I'm sick of this force DEI trannyslop.

>>736413468
i just stunlocked the shit out of him with giant hunt, i didn't even know how to dodge half his attacks but he just went down that easy
>>
>>736412626
I just assume Miyazaki couldn't make sense out of whatever Martin wrote either, so phoned in an ending
>>
>>736413518
Miquella isn't underaged he just never ages past puber-
You know what? that sounds pretty weird now that you mention it
>>
>>736413518
yeah but you kill the evil troon god who necro'd and mind controlled the gigachad guy against his will
>>
>>736412448
This boss would be okay if not for the hitboxes and Stray Demon tier AOE attacks on every swing. I chainsawed that motherfucker on release and even when I get in the mood for another run I just abuse fat rolls or facetank him.
>>
>>736412448
i still see most people call him shit though. (they're right btw).
>>
>>736413468
"mastering him" is realising you have only 2, at best 3, windows to do anything more than an r1 against him. The entire fight comes down to punishing the ground rip with light pillars. It's a horrendous boss for player enjoyment. The only enjoyable part is him being able to withstand the ridiculous damage the player dishes out somewhat
>>
>>736412448
I liked it the moment I played it. I was disappointed that the boss was just Radahn again, and I still think that sucks, but mechanically it's a good fight.
>>
>>736412448
because people with actual taste and individuality realized both ER and SOTE were extremely flawed, and thus moved on after finishing them, not having much reason to stay.
Neet fromtards, who only play from gamea and make liking them/being good at them/defending them their whole personality, instead stick around indefinitely, shifting the discourse in their favour. Doesn't help the fact that thw more time passes, the more time these autists have to learn the inside out of each boss, so they stop feeling the frustration caused by nonsensical design and animations that normal people see, and can now pretend to be champions of a competition that exists only in their head. And anyone who didn't nolife these games to the same extent is automatically wrong if they criticize them.
Same thing happened with base ER

don't forget they're also half brothers since they have the same dad/mom

Where are "these people" anon? Are they here with us right now?
>>
>>736414260
Player expression that comes from the build does not make the boss better. Especially when he has a 6 seconds short posture recovery on top of his inflated 120 stance, this is genuinely unbalanced for a boss that forces you on the defence so often and can fly away. The only skill expression you do get is sprinting under certain swings in phase 1 and the stomp attack, other than that the fight is incredibly scripted and restrictive (think of the meteor/clone attack where there is only one answer).

I can explain easily, Elden Ring is a primitive combat system in the context of the complexity its bosses have reached and so much of the player's power can be condensed into a single move you can get by spamming it on the aforementioned openings. The way people play this game against bosses can be summed up as "the best option is the only option", 90% of the players experience zero variety or experimentation because that results in trading or leaving their ash of war spam comfort zone
>>
>>736412448
No, he's still a really shitty boss. That has not changed for me. It didn't make ANY sense lore wise, and his move sets fucking looks like it came from a Korean mod, yes. We were robbed of a true last boss. Miquella whatever, or simply Godwyn or WHATEVER and instead we got this abomination.
I think that's when you know it's time for From Soft to take a break and do something else. They couldn't end Elden Ring with a big climax. It was a ruined orgasm.
>>
It should've been Godwyn The Golden
>>
Could someone post the screen so of /v/ reacting to these leaks?
>>
Radahn only feels bad because he's in teh wrong game. Fromsoft proved that they can make a better combat system with sekiro.

The next installment should eliminate roll slop, and go back to tight weapon collision physics, claustrophobic environments
>>
>>736413471
LMAO the doing him in 3 in that sentence refers to the boss moron.
>>
>>736412448
Just delete the boss if you don't like it?
>Equip Black Knight shield and infuse it with sacred, or leave it uninfused and equip the talisman for holy damage reduction
>Boss can only do tiny chip damage to you and has tons of healing openings
Getting stuck on a boss is a choice and larval tears exist for reasons

kek I remember when everybody here was calling it fake because it looks like dogshit and there's absolutely NO WAY that fromslopware will ever release something of this quality
>>
>>736412448
All the DLC bosses are awful except maybe the Death Knight because they're Bloodborne bosses pushed to the extreme and unless you're using the parry flask you're still stuck in Dark Souls 3 fighting god himself every 20 minutes which is why so many people respecced to tank and slapped on a greatshield and rot weapon and just cheesed him. They correctly identified garbage game design and turned the tables.

I've still only ever beaten him once. Just to say I did. It was a miserable experience. No catharsis at all. It was before the patch too.

>>736414959
I'd take a thematically cool but easy boss over some overtuned slopfest any day. I still get chills when I fight Cleric Beast/Amelia, or Gascoigne. Ludwig and all the DLC bosses go without saying too.
>>
>>736414942
And then they released this piece of shit and nightreign back to back
>>
>>736412448
I honestly believe current PCR is easier than Malenia, he has no bs attached to him, its just the usual rollslop fight.
I'd say Nightreign's Everdark Gladius (solo) is harder and honestly, more fun.
>>
>>736415340
Nah he is harder. The only thing Malenia has that isn't baby easter to counter is Waterfowl and once you can counter that she has nothing.
>>
>>736412626
The idea was probably two different DLCs: One with the Gloam Eyed Knight (Putrescent Knight) as the final boss, and another with Godwyn (Sunflower) at the end. At some point they decided only one big DLC, so they reworked a ton of stuff and probably decided they needed something a more epic final boss, so they came up with Radahn Blanco.
>>
>>736413387
It's the best dragon boss they have ever made.
>>
>>736412448
every single complaint about difficulty in those games is just retards being angry at rollspamming being ineffective, you can literally block all of his attacks with a shield and heal maybe 3-4 times throughout the entire thing, FIRST TRY
>>
>>736414959
Shields have been a thing since Demon's Souls.
>>
>>736412448
Piece of shit boss that was broken on release and still plenty unfun to fight
>>
>>736414959
I was very surprised when i tried the parry tear. Guard counters are insane. First time tho i just spammed lion claw with the largest hammer i could find. It worked
