I’ve been playing ds3 and so far I disagree there very different boss styles and on taking on a tactical general type fighting style and the other a warrior style that requires fast reaction time and they end up feeling very different one makes a fight feel like a duel and one a dance

Its kind of hilarious how no one in the game acknowledges how beautiful EVE is. The only exception being Roxanne who creeps EVE out.

Sekiro is still the best

We got Elden Ring 2

No hate at all, but the comparison regarding the size of Elden Ring’s DLC to that of the Witcher 3 is very misrepresenting. They are both perfectly sculpted to do 2 completely different things. Erdtree is more Elden Ring. It’s a very beautiful and vast world that is primarily a combat experience with bits of story told throughout the world. Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are stories, the voice acting and quest crafting in B&W alone is massive and so is the explorable world. Two very different concepts, I believe to be nearly equal in scope and quality.

She is gorgeous and gives you ambition to dress her up. Hunt cans and nano suits.

song list pls

Excellent video.

Fantastic script, as always!

Ya but Dark Souls original had a way better world layout and design. It's intricate crisscrossing was fantastic. Elden Ring and the DLC in general are the largest "souls games" to date but 90% of it is open world, with too many catacomb "dungeons" and then you have the few standard "dungeons" where main bosses are. I wouldn't really classify it as bigger. The original game's illusion of scale was more impressive in my opinion. Even if objectively it was a shorter game.

i just started it yesterday.. the amount of area to explore is huge with much of it being multi-levelled terrain.. eg. caverns, valleys and multi storey castles so its always much bigger than it looks..

when I was a kid I was told that gaming is for losers and I resented that sentiment. now the state of the gaming industry is totally different, and the more I look around the more I see how much of a shitshow mainstream gaming has become which only justifies their sentiment. the only reason why it's that way is because people keep buying games that run the industry into the ground. if nobody bought their games they would have no choice but to change what they're doing, it's that simple. it's time we either start boycotting things we don't like or shut the fuck up. too often do I see people complaining about things they contribute to by continually buying into things that turn out to be shit because they couldn't wait. that's the consumer mentality at play, the coomer consumer ejaculating over false promises and false claims because they thought something would be neat at the idea level when in reality they're just baiting you into blowing your idealistic load over a bunch of nonsense when you know damn well the won't deliver but they don't care because they know they can get you going just like that and they'll do it year after year until you either stop or keel over, and by then it will be too late because a whole new batch of consumers will take your place and they will repeat your failures because you refused to abstain from the coomer consumer lifestyle and thus the cycle repeats ad nauseam.

Unreal Engine and Unity have made their engines so intuitive that now you and your friends can make a video game in your spare time. Everyone grab your closest friends. Chip in for an amazing desktop PC with a 4090, an I9 (14th Gen) and 128 GBs of DDR5 RAM. Set up one profile that will be used to run unreal Engine (Unity had a higher cost) and set up remote software for your friends to log in.ake sure everyone has different work to do so you don't walk all over each other when logged in using multiple sessions for the same account and build a video game. Build your dream game. When you have a playable product start an LLC to limit the amount of taxes you have to pay. Them go to crowed funding platforms and show off your product and ask for funding so you can market the game and pay attorneys for the copywrite filings and work. Let me give you a hint about how lucrative this is. A guy and his wife made a video game where the player just runs around taking photos of amazing digital scenery. They made several million dollars off that game.Get your hustle back. Let's take advantage of these times and break these greedy publishers or publishers who are beholden to shareholders. We still have one free market out there. Let's fucking win!

Dont get manipulated by Trailers, ignore new 3A Title, only play Indie: 1 year later we will have good games again. They have to.

It's a lot of shit is what it is.

Honesly in terms of long term multiplayer I think DS3 was better than Elden Ring. They should really imporve the support for online play a bit disappointing with this in terms of the DLC update

It's very sad what's going to happen to hellblade 2, they made a huge mistake being an Xbox exclusive

The world is huge as is the damage output...

I have that kind of bad luck that I never really get to play the original games. I never played GTA 1 (started with 3), never played TLOU retail PS3 (started with the PS4 Remaster), never played Quake 1 (started with Counter-Strike), never played Unreal Tournament (both the very first and 1999, started with Unreal 1 and UT 2004), never played Tekken 1 on PS1 (started with 3), and the list goes on and on and on. The only game I really remember playing as the definitive first title was Half Life - after I played through HL2. Is that just my life now? lmao

I can't take you seripusly as a crotic sonce you think last of us 2 has good writing

Cold War campaign is soo corny

The mimic tear weirdos need to get gud at being better at life. Let people enjoy the game the way they want. Obviously the devs think it’s valid. Your opinion of what’s legit is irrelevant when they put the thing in their own game.

dont compare the elden ring dlc trash to dark souls 1 in any way please dark souls 1 is mater class game making elden ring dlc is the pile of garbage that builds up when a company starts making ltos of money!

I agree 💯 percent. From soft tried to make a game that basically forces multi-player and is open world to try to capitalize on that type of game since those games are very popular. Elden ring tried to do too much and ended up being just okay at everything instead of being good at a few things. Elden ring is far from being the magnum opus it is being held as. Elden ring is just as terrible as darks souls 1. I have played and beaten ds2 , ds3 and bloodborne ( I beat bloodborne with no summons or co op dlc included ) elden ring will never live up to the rest of the soulsborne games and that's a fact. Cope.

I keep throwing myself at these games since so many people I respect love them.. but still have yet to find one of them fun. The lack of communication about critical gameplay elements just drives me up the wall and ends up pissing me off, feeling like it's being obtuse, not challenging. Dying for hours trying to figure out how I'm f'ing up my timing on blocks/dodges/parries only to finally look at a wiki and be told those just don't work against that thing always felt like the opposite of fun.

It's called needless AAA Hollywood motion picture budgets, as well as making everything woke. Many of these companies are even coming and saying if people don't like the content, don't buy it. Well, many of us aren't, then they point the finger at white gamers and call them racist, taking zero responsibility for making a bad game or movie.

dope review and i appreciate you going into the substance but not the specifics to avoid spoilers ... i had work early this morning so i was online when it dropped last night .... but i had been helping many tarnished kill bosses over the past months to prep for the dlc (killed 5 mohg's already in t he spawn of 2 hours last night) but i was surprised to see people immediately asking for help on with dlc bosses on day 1 of the dlc being released..... people don't know how to enjoy something anymore at times

100% Agree. When I was younger, I played a lot of FFXI, which at the time had a lot of friction in the game world in relation to travel from place to place. As the player level and resources go up, the friction goes down, but it was still usually a bit of a hassle to get somewhere remote. You experience the wonder of strange new vast landscapes. Your first time, you may not have a map, or if you do, its a vague map. Its part of what made the experience memorable. It also cost you a lot of time and the game was extremely grindy.

Usually i am very critical of gaming journalists. Your opening statement had an underlaying concept that EVERY game reviewer should understand! Reviewing a video game is a VASTLY different process than playing it organically and finding your enjoyment over time while "getting good"! Great review and i cant wait to play Erdtree when i get home!

So the map is copy pasted into the DLC, but it's "darker"? yawn.

Thanks for not spoiling the magic that is exploring these games, 10/10 review

Love the video! Would really love to know what your build is? I’m wanting to run the 2 backwards blades as well!

Eh. It's not a big deal. The talented people will move to independent/smaller studios who make good indie or AA games. AAA will only be filled with yes men and the untalented people who lack any sense of independence and they will produce slop no one will buy. The AA will gain acclaim and talent and become the AAA studios of the next gen, and the cycle will begin again.

So pumped for this. When I can get to it in three weeks 😂

I played Elden Ring before ds1, and after completing both, ds1 is one of my favorite games. It's truely a masterpiece.

Ubisoft etc screaming into their pillows because a DLC for £30 reviews so much better than any game they've released in years (or ever).

Shadow of the DLC (get it, because it's big)..... I am in great pain.

Bethesda dlc sells gun for $7:00, adds lame questline... Todd Howard: "We've gone the extra mile" Fromsoft ware dlc is full game the quality of Elden Ring... Miyazaki:

What a time to be alive, gentlemen.

The writing in this review is absolutely top notch. Definitely painted a picture

I know you're embargoed, but couldn't you talk to others who were given early access? Since you and other have the early access, I think you would be able to talk to them since nothing is getting to the outside world.

The fact that you can have s3x with animals in baldurs gate means i will not be buying it. "But its not an animal bro! Its just your druid form blah blah" Stfu idc. Its plot armor for beastiality that simple. Just like the little anime girls whos head is half the size of their body but in the story theyre adults YEA OKAY 👌

1 day boys, one day

Its bc graphics and screenshots are marketable. You cant market a great story and characters unless people play the game. But then you get long term wealth. But everyone else polishes their turds shinier than your diamond in the rough. Just like dating lol. Theyre trying to sell you a game, not make a good game that would sell well. Their best foot forward and a closet full of bullsht meanwhile the honest one showing its faults on day one but having so many gems to offer in the closet never gets seen. Then no one makes money cuz we either just sadly give up on gaming or we go back to the 90s and 2000s Literally, GAME OVER Or continue? Theres no winning A slow sad death

Funny how this is what happens when you "trust the professionals"

....Sony...makes characters, and stories, and good game play. "As is" game trailers that deliver everything they say. Any random footage of a playstation game can be a trailer bc of its consistent quality. Xbox....makes good trailers to cherry pick only the good parts of a game for marketing. When if they just used that effort to actually make a good game they wouldn't have to try at all making a game trailer trying to sell it. Whats really sad is nowadays the line between audience and studio is very very short and open. People literally tell you what they want, what games they like and what you did wrong. Microsoft is like "nah lets just keep doing the same sht over and over" Sony is like "nah lets just keep doing the same sht over and over" but in a good way lol. And i dont even like todays Sony games. Im just saying non bias what is working, and what is not.

One thing I'll note here-I didn't really talk to anyone about the Blessings pre-embargo so I didn't really get a sense of how other people were viewing them. I make the point in the video that I didn't feel like they made much difference, but looking at other people's videos where they run the numbers, my initial gut feeling just doesn't seem to bear out and they appear to be, in fact, very important indeed. My apologies!

I love your accent man

Kudos for trying so hard to be spoilers free as possible while your voice says it all. Cheers.
