Elden Ring is one of the most special games I’ve played in years.

Im not really a souls person as I am defintely more on the casual have fun, i am bad at games i have adhd telling me to "get gud" will just make me move on, i challenge myself when I want to. Usually as a "fuck it imma do this" linda thing so this maybe one i actually give a shot sometime ^^
I disagree about the combat tbh its…not great? but it's not horrible? like I'm Jon Dork souls rolling around like a basketball, however many and i mean MANY bosses in this are Sekiro/Bloodborne style attacks and combos that dont seem…fair, which I know its a loose term but Dark Souls had this saying "it's hard, but fair" enemies in the soul games felt like i can handle em after 3-4 attempts Bloodborne having god tier iframes against beasts and horrifying quick hunters meant you needed it to not get wombo combo into oblivion. Dark souls 1-2 had slower enemies and bosses (I know Manus and Artorius were on crack but those are two optional bosses) so the rolling fit the style and combat. Sekiro is the same with the pose break, insta kills and insta health bar pops were very rewarding, and you could swing around and maneuver very nicely. Now Elden Ring I see Dark souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro all in one game, however my combat and movement is in Dark souls and I'm fighting Lady Maria and oh boy this is hard let me change areas and fight Orphan of Kos real quick oh but I really think the Guardian Apes on crack is fine. The overworld combat is good…sometimes when there's not an unusual high amount of enemies in one pocket ( people complained about that in DS2 but not here so cool beans). I'm kinda struggling to love or even like this game when the core attractions aka the bosses are actual meth heads on steroids that have extremely fast, high damage, low punishment, attacks and i have a roll that feels…out of place, sure quickstep is a thing but well…it's quickstep so….enough said there. Every victory I earn( cause co-op summoning for bosses is actual hell and a insta death sentence) feels hollow cause I just pushed and threw myself and learned very little from the bosses cause uhhh….skeleton summon is actually super strong but a gimmick to abuse bosses all the same. Now this is all IMO so take this with a gran of salt, but idk how the souls community can be unbiased in criticism cause there are issues that I feel like dont get talked about or touched on at all, its all just thunderous applause( and no graphic problems are something else entirely and can be fixed) I've loved DS1 2 3( eventually not as much on 3 but oh well) Bloodborne and Demons Souls but i can tell there are flaws and problems in each and yet I love em still, this game it's hard for me to like or love when the problems are in the vital part of the game…combat. I'll still play it and try to see the light at the end of the tunnel, heck I might even like it in the end but as of now…its ok. (Also "get good" is not a reasonable argument or response, if you lost turn 5 in chess I wouldn't say "GEt gOOd" and walk away and not help you what so ever.)
Wishing this was on Switch 😔
You should seriously try ds3
>dark souls bosses
>cheap & unfair, not fun to play
Imma filthy casul, but that is sewer slime level of casul complaint, Arlo.
DS bosses have just a few hard to read moves and a couple of RNG moments, even them aren't that big of a deal in a right management. Unless, perhaps, you played the entire game fat-rolling and got your own arse given to you on a platter.
im on my 2nd disc on the ps4 & both discs wont even load on my ps4 , they both just show up as "disc unrecognized",., al the rest of my ps4 discs pay just fine ,.,. i just send it back & i'll wait for the price to drop on download as there is no way im paying an extra £5 for download as the box has stickers & artwork & afew nice things but £50 for download is just way too much ,., i wait afew months or more now which is a shame as was looking forward for getting it to it
This game is shit..
Wow, I’ve been a big fan of Ricki the Sock for years, so it’s really cool to see he’s started a gaming YouTube channel!!
Loved the video!
having to run a lot to a boss was mostly a problem with Demon Souls and Dark Souls. Sekiro doesn't have that issue and I don't think I remember Bloodborne having it either.
Is elder ring alŕeady on the switch?

This is my first time playing a game like this. It’s the only game I’ve ever played where I don’t get mad from dying over n over again
Where is Sam o nella
The game looks soo bad on my PS5 out of all next gen standards and expectations, Demons Souls for PS5 is far better looking, can't stand Elden Ring's look especially buildings and it's repetitive textures and proportions as person from art school trained for viewing cant look at it 5-6 minutes, start it and must turn off that ugliest popular game I'm feeling cheated by uneducated YouTubers and reviewers which do not respect 2022 standards and our free time
Only put 6 hours in so far but it’s the best game I’ve played in a long, long time.
"I have been dying to play another one."
Yeah sucks there aren't more.
Demon Souls, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro, Bloodborne, Nioh, Nioh 2
I completely disagree about your opinion on this being easier than dark souls I. The main game there was no boss that took me more than 11 tries aad in the DLC kalameet took me 33 tries. Currently lost track on the first boss, Margit. I've gotten him at best to around 30% and thoose tried I consider lucky.
This game was trash. It’s a buggy mess. I will never trust a review by you again.
16:49 saying it's so big with Gwynevere's theme in the background
Dark souls didnt start the series 🙂 demons souls ♥️
As someone who plays these games religiously, play Dark Souls 3 if you’re worried about the difficulty. It’s still very hard, but it’s a lot more refined and the bosses are almost all bangers
Ooooh, a non Nintendo review. I dig it
about the lower hp part, I actually feel like the average enemy has more hp in this game vs dark souls. Maybe its just because we've all played dark souls so many times that we have the optimal route and upgrade material locations burned into our brains, letting us be overpowered fairly early. This game not so much, at least yet!
11:16 Dog 🙁
Why do i get the feeling that this guy isnt going to actually finish the game…
for me the dark souls games worlds i didn't like because of its dark settings you felt like you were in a world of demise and thats how its supposed to feel but omg this games world feels like its being revived and hope is making its way through it and i love it
Man, this game looks SO gorgeous! 🥺 Just the landscape and visuals are so aesthetically pleasing with the textures and color palette and the enemies look fantastic! Like, I could just stare at the sky alone for hours!
Is their a sexy skimpy dressed warrior woman ? ⚔
I have yet to hear a single dealbreaker about this game and it’s REALLY tempting me
Love your reviews man! Thank you for keeping them as spoiler-free as possible
Loved you in My Friendly Neighborhood
