I would be disappointed if Shadow of the Erdtree came out and there weren’t enough hot takes to make this video. Thought it’d be a fun little throwback.

The long-awaited sequel is here! Maybe I'll have a hot take of my own in this video….
You laughing about monkey ball means you know nothing. Monkey ball gets way harder than anything in any dark souls. By far. Monkey ball gets stupid hard. Especially if you try to get all bananas. Go do that come back and say its easy. Lol. You in for a nightmare. Monkeyball is literally lne of the hardest games there is.
You acutally can pause all you have to do is go into to your weapons press Help and then menu explanation or something like that or just look it up
Nothing fucks you harder than time.
At 15:06 is hilarious i beat the elden ring DLC and went straight in sekiro and beat it now im at the end of DS3 just for fun lmfao fromslop though 😂
The point that guy made about Elder Scrolls getting more shallow and dumbed down every iteration is totally correct even if everything else he said is a troll idc
Never played Eldin Ring or the Souls game (cuz I know I'd get my ass handed to me), but I'm glad Eldin Ring got GOTY
i got a hot take the moment i opened the video and saw your beautiful face.
you are hot, and it made me take a second to catch my breath.
no homo of course.
stay awesome ActMan.
7:15 bro thinks elden ring flask animation is bad? DO. NOT. PLAY. DARKSOULS 2.
Oh my god, Actman found Harman Smith…
IT'S OVER
Here we go again
oh man… If TheActMan takes this youtuber on this is going to be hilarious… This dude (youtuber he has in the video) has been trolling with these takes for YEARS. Oh jesus I'm stocking up on popcorn just in case.
Wow just wow 😮
12:11I want to take the bait too!
hes insane to call ds1 and ds2 harder than elden ring since you can just unlock the camera and every boss breaks and cant handle you plus the majority of the bosses in those games are on the level of a crucible knight/hornsent warrior generic in Elden Ring
He is technically right though that elden ring is THEORETICALLY easier than dark souls 3 since it has so many options for your build and summons etc. but thats also disingenuously ignoring that the bosses in elden ring are faster, hit harder with less downtime and generally take longer to kill than anything in dark souls 3 and if you are someone who doesnt use summons/cheese strats (nothing wrong with using them though, theyre fun!) it is absolutely a harder and more punishing game
Hot take: It’s game, why you have to be mad bout how you play.
You got me with the outro. Well played! GG
Act man did the editing for that guy's video for him in the end
"I have to stop fighting a boss to heal" stop getting hit.
Yes, Sekiro is by far the hardest FromSoft game, nothing else even comes close. In literally ever other FromSoft game you can farm and make the game much easier, I don't even know how this was ever a discussion with people.
Will you ever do a Starfield review?
The last guy is a human manifestation of a fart
13:27 id like to see this guys steam achievements on eldenring
My hot take is that Shadow Of The Erdtree combined with the base game of Elden Ring culminates together to make this game the best game in the entire series, right at the top of the Fromsoft catalogue. Things could have ofc been done better since no game is perfect, I personally think that the bosses in this DLC whilst still incredible were not on the same level of the bosses from the late game of Dark Souls 3 or Sekiro but that's of course my opinion, I think that nothing is going to top bosses like Slave Knight Gael or Owl Father. But Messmer, Dancing Lion, Rellana, Midra, Bayle and the others were still incredible and right up at the top with some of the best bosses in the series, there wasn't a single "bad" boss in this DLC besides maybe Gaius but that also just comes down to taste. Top tier, 10/10. A masterpiece.
I like some minesweeper occasionally.
@actman twisted metal black on playstation is legit harder than elden ring.
But not for the reason most would think.
And I used to be able to bear the game on hard. Can't get through normal now almost if not 2 decades later.
funny the guys said that people dont play the older games and they still even active you can go and still found people palying in fact when elden ring came out, i lot of people gave a chance to dark souls saga, crazy man
here's a real hot take, Consort Radahn is not a good boss and i'd even say it's one of the weakest final dlc bosses in fromsoft history
I hit calves to this vid. Keep up the great content love you lots
I was a happier man 6 minutes ago before we reviewed that last guy's video.
Comparing Elden Ring to RD2 is like comparing Helldivers 2 to Dark souls…
The silver larval tear is there for a reason…change and adapt.
I was a glass cannon mage for the entire game but when it came to Elden beast…the sheer range it operates from had me reshuffle so many points into vigor so I can last through the fight with the firepower I put out
This man is a hypocrite.
You know whats sad, 10! year's ago a hard game was default in most games. This yahoo wants full bar off the rip, you better rune farm you little snow flake and get gud😂
The game is great…the problem is…they have to deal with playing it?? Alright. Great vid!
Bro looks like a handsome Chuck McGill here with the outfit 😭
I've hit challenger in LoL … hit legend in hearthstone, hit grandmaster in starcraft and Heroes of the Storm. Did a lot of heroic/mythic raiding in WoW from WoTLK to Legion.
I've finished every single From Soft games, Skyrim, Witcher, RDR2 … mostly all the praised solo games …
And yet I think Elden Ring (especially the DLC) is the hardest of all those solo games to finish without cheese. What more can I do in the gaming world to not be considered a casual 😭😭😭
Ps: listen I'm new to fromsoftware souls games, if I can beat morgott, run through the front gate of stormvial castle, beat godrick and progress to lernia with low health, you snowflakes can do it too 😂
Miyazaki's the Goku of game devolpers, the moment you think he's reached the peak of his power he decides he isn't happy with that and powers up to another form.
Most who are saying it ‘too difficult’ actually do have a skill issue and just love to complain. It’s exactly the same as base Elden Ring. Idk why people review bombed it😂
@10:20 "kid that dumb isn't gonna be smart enough to beat elden ring, so what's the point in raising him?" made me actually lol
elden ring is easier than ds3? really im asking, because i get mixed feelings in that regard, is really difficult to me to choose 1 as the hardest between those 2 (sekiro is the hardest, but ac6 i couldnt finish)
Not a hot take: Forced solo areas that are as large as they are in a open world game is garbage. Lack of 3v3 in pvp at the very least (aldrich pvp count should really be a staple especially considering the size of the areas in ER) is horrible. The base game had so many "filled" areas, noticed the DLC lacks alot of those. Turning the corner in the base game, you would always see something new to interact with. in the DLC as much as there is, I find turning the corner and seeing a stunning vista, but nothing to interact with. Continuing the "limited" resource forcing multiple playthrough is just bad, needs a QOL update, and has needed a change from day one ER. Something that needs to be changed at a fundamental level is the co-op. Enough of this (especially in a open world styled game) taking out a "boss" locking co-op when there is still plenty of things to do, not to mention pvping/fight clubs. We had to keep aldrich alive in DS3, can we stop that and just have co-op and pvp open at all times. Covenents…..like..why not? This game, considering the "factions" would be PERFECT for covenent based pvp and invasions. Serving Mohg, and trying to stop people from entering the palace. Serving Fia, and defending the deathbed from intruders. Serving the roundtable assassins would have been epic, getting jumped in the hold. Standing with Morgott, trying to stop other tarnished from getting to the tree. Etc, all having unique rewards for defeating hosts. The game is FANTASTIC and so is the DLC. Erdtree gameplay and story has been fantastic, but that does not exclude the problems. Most honestly have been issues since day one. Love this game, put my hours into this game and still am. But man Miyazaki's really gotta alter some things for next time.
I'm pretty sure he just made this video so he could watch that troll but not to send a wave of hate towards him. My brain twisted when hearing what the dude said but I'm glad I had Mr. Actman to tell me what his intentions were!!
7:53 one of my friends is legitimately bad at sekiro but I kept replaying bosses until I found cheese strats for him and he was able to get the “all bosses” trophy 🤷♂️
If you think Monkey Ball is hard, then it's no surprise not a single person you know plays SotE. That Monkey Ball bump is nothing on that SotE mountain 😂
