The first part of the video is spoiler free, going over the PC spec debacle, Kitao’s interview, and info about Elden ring being real. Then, after that, I try to summarize all the information we got from people’s hands on impressions of playing Elden Ring for 6 hours. It was a lot of stuff, which is why this video took so long (along with IRL stuff), but I still got it done before the 12th (at least, in my timezone, ha).

Was that track in the background an OST from GoT?
17:28 you just know the game is going to do everything to knock you off your mount and kill it just so you are stuck dashing through another poison swamp
Hearing that theres a fuck tons of news still feels weird
someone need to do the say the line simpsons meme with the holy intro phrase
the equip load change is incorrect. it was an Italian mistranslation. Thank god, such a stupid change
why not put the stamina in dexterity and delete the enduranc attribute and let stay equip load on strength that's what should be!
Can't wait to play this game, all the new classes are amazing, finally is almost here.Just one (maybe stupid) thing I expected from elden ring, for all the time i thought that finally strength governs the equip load as from softwere told, unfortunately they back to dark souls 1 stat mode! is that endurance has nothing to do with how much weight a person can lift, lifting weight IS strength! I would have preferred that they connected vitality on equip load this point..However the hype for this game is extremely high and i still think that this will be the game for me, one of the game that i'll play for a long time. Thank you from for your games anyway, can't wait to definitively lose my social life on this game!
this time every class seems perfect for a determinated build! for example in ds3 i always found the harald a bit useful
Being able to rename my character seems like a small thing, but honestly, it's the best change they could have added to customization. I eventually want to do niche builds but being able to change name and appearance to do it seems so much better than restarting a new file.
i think im feeling pretty confident in Vagabond for my starting class. going straight for the flail and greataxe and aiming for a strength build.
unfortunate that equip load was moved to stamina i was really looking forward to heavy armor being a strength build thing. i guess im going ham on the endurance early game. i usually do that anyways, but im still going to work into a strength build later on.
It seems we can't escape Blackreach even when in other games
con tan sol over el video ya puedo decir que me pase elden ring :v
Bewitching branch kinda sounds just off the name that it might be like a Fragrant Branch of yore from Ds2 ?
That leyndell area looks MASSIVE
Carry weight being tied to endurance again is the most disappointing thing I've heard so far. Carry weight shouldn't be a universal stat, because dex and magic builds don't need to be wearing heavier armor than strength characters. If they want to wear heavier armor, they can invest in some strength as a bonus stat.
All the time you have to leave the spaoooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh
I understand that they are trying to steer more towards other players but I really don’t think they should’ve made Margot easier.
Again, what's your source for END affecting equip load? I'm bugging you about this because I only saw it in one random italian article, which isn't a credible source.
Edit: lmao when it gets to END at 10:00 max equip load doesn't light up, but when it goes over STR it lights up. At least choose footage that doesn't completely contradict what you're saying…
Here’s the thing… after hearing your regular voice while you stream, I realized that you don’t actually talk in that floaty congested anemic heroin-dosed borderline-comatose voice that you do the intros to these videos in. So whyyyyy do u do it. It’s not relaxing/comforting (especially on those countless days that you were letting us know that there’s no Elden ring news), and it doesn’t sound like a parody of anything I recognize (i.e. when people mock that fake archaic radio broadcaster voice).
So why?! Why do it Mordy? Just to make me wanna punch myself?!?
(Great video btw. Saved me from having to sit through a million other videos. Thanks)
It’s kinda frustrating when FromSoft undoes some progress they’ve previously made; leaving out quality of life features that they’ve finally added to a previous game. For example, not planning to include a boss-replay feature (like the boss rush and reflections of strength), despite already having done it in Sekiro and knowing it was a much appreciated and beloved feature.
Or leveling up. After having to go to the damn Hunters Dream every single time we wanted to level up, they finally got it right with Sekiro — you could level up without even having to rest / reset the world! But in ER, NOPE. You can’t level up without resetting the world + respawning all enemies. 😭😭😭😭😭
(Also, ffs gents, give us a damn photo mode. The art direction is so incredible — it deserves a photo mode more than most games. I never even knew I wanted it until I played the Demon’s Souls Remake.)
Is the wolf knight the vagabond class? Or is it not a class anymore?.. or was it ever a class? Did I mix it up with something else
I feel they should have kept equipment load tied to strength (EDIT: rather than Endurance/Stamina). It makes more sense, and IMO would have led to better balance in character builds, especially for PVP
YOU CAN ADD AND REMOVE CLOAKS FROM ARMOR!!!!!!!
Best game. 10/10.
The guy at the end sure speaks facts: Best game of all time
09:59 A reliable source about that Equip Weight change?
I'd like to see some form of "best bits" montage to celebrate everything you've done over the last 2 years or so. Everything from day 1, the spicy rumours, the reveal and your reaction, the anticipation we have now, and finally the release day. I think it would be a nice way to tie it all together. Not many people are so dedicated to something like this
Day 162 of posting every word of the Dark Souls 1 Intro:
"Are"
Days until elden ring 14
Can you link the preview video that states stamina being the stat tied to equipment load please ?
Do you have Light of the Seven from GoT playing? I can barely hear or over the vid and it’s driving me nuts lol
im watching this video everyday until elden ring
“Equip load tied to stamina stat” and then video shows it is 100% tied to strength. Thanks for spreading misinformationand fake news. Also, “stamina stat”? Do you mean endurance? There is no stamina
statbrowelp, canceling my preorder,
I was looking forward to being an armor lord with a STR build but now I'd rather wait for it to go on discount.
