That's a lot of effort when you could just randomize it or cheat those runes in

That's a lot of effort when you could just play the game properly.

That's a lot of effort when you could just uninstall

You enjoyed a thing for 20 hours.

What's the problem?

Elden Ring is soulless trash

>>738063042
20 hours doesn't mean much in open world slop games since they are designed to waste your time

>>738059825
at that point why not just do a ng+ and boss rush the entire game with your OP gear? should take you no longer than 8 hours total

I don't understand why people who have already beaten a game need crutches to make the game easier than their first playthrough.

Why’d you stop at Dectus? Second half of the game is the best part.

That's a lot of effort just to shit post,

>>738059825
this is all open world games tho. lots of filler, interesting on first playthough content that you can't really be bothered to go through again. Elden Ring and its DLC was amazing to play but I'd never go through the DLC again with all those items you have to pick up to gain more damage. Shame because the bosses were top tier and I loved doing a solo blind playthough. I'm sure I missed some bosses and probably some areas but when you have a wiki opened trying to find the items you want and the areas to avoid the game isn't fun.

If you're not enjoying the "filler" then you're not having fun, and you should stop.

This is a you problem. Nobody is forcing you to play.

If you didn't properly kill Greyoll by fighting the baby dragons at an appropriate level, you did not, in any sense of the word, by any stretch of the imagination, beat the game.

>>738064362
But I said in my post that I didn't replay the game?

>>738064246
Following an almost direct path to promised consort + detour to Gaius is 20 fragments = level 10 blessing. More than comfortable enough to beat the DLC with.

>>738064246
>interesting on first playthough content
Nothing wrong with this btw. A game that is fun for the first time for like 60-80 hours is objectively already a good game. The fact that it doesn't hold up on replays doesn't really matter.

>>738059825
I can only stomach to restart ER from scratch with a certain goal in mind, like a certain PvP build at a certain level. But just replaying and recollecting everything for the sake of it, nah.

My NG+5 level 250 everything-character is always right there.

Randomizer fixes almost every issue you niggers complain about in hourly ER seethe threads. Just stick to the main story path, make do with what you get, and explore side dungeons if you feel lucky and want to see what you find.

>Elden Ring creates an even new audience on /v/ because of the GOT hype and GRRM involvement
>that first few weeks after release where everyone was seething about Margit and the ''artificial difficulty'' shit started resurfacing
man, this board just sucks at games. DAE remember when /fgg/ tried invading a DSP USFIV stream, maybe 4 or so years ago, and he literally bodied all of the people that went in, including all of the tripfags that talked big game?

this site is pathetic, still riding the highs of that time /v/ beat reddit at Tribes 2.

>>738064641
Randomizer makes it even worse because the main problem is that 90% of items and therefore mini-dungeons are useless for your build but at least after one playthrough you know what is useless and what isn't. With a randomizer You'll never know.

Well apparently I do

margit is intentionally designed to be unfair and exists as a gear/build check

i've been fighting him on various low level builds and aside from abusing the few attacks where he just does one big windup with no tracking, the rest of his moveset is borderline retarded:
>jumps around constantly
>will extend his combo to 6, 8, 10 hits if he feels like it
>can switch combo strings at any moment
>multihit attacks require lightroll or extremely intentional directional inputs to deal with
>holy damage means you can't even block him without getting chip damage
if margit didn't have the stats he does, or his big jumps or big windups, he would be ridiculously difficult

>first playthrough
>get to deeproot depths and into where Godwyn is
>immediately nope the fuck out because I assumed he was gonna twitch and trigger a demigod boss fight
>go back after leveling up a good bit with better equipment
>simp platoon boss
biggest disappointment, then the dlc came out and made it even worse
>like 2 catacombs with deathknights
>thats it

Are there players out there that ever actually enjoyed doing this "content"?

>>738066212
There are like 8 more to fight later in the game stop being a bitch

>>738068405
>stop being a bitch
No
Having a boss kill itself and render itself unfightable is garbage. Boss fights are half the fun of games like this.
