You should play grounded. Fun survival game

You've given me the courage to give it a try. It's always looked great but I was concerned I'd be trash and just end up frustrated woth constantly running back to the same place.

the way your tags are alot of people are gonna skip over and think your talking about d4 lmao

are you really just now discovering elden ring? lol.... jesus man

I cant keep stressing this enough, you need to play destiny 2. You need to raid and do the dungeons and do some grandmaster strikes. Peak game that will actually challenge you on many levels. Not a rinse and repeat of the same thing like every other game.

I'm suddenly craving gauntlet legends like a madman. Thanks for reminding me those games exist!

When I go back to greatest games I ever played I think about a game called Tunnels of Doom. I played it on a Texas Instruments computer before we had a commodore 64. It had a big influence with me when it comes to fantasy RPG's. From there Pools of Radiance on my commodore 64 came next. As far as Arcade games to Gauntlet is on my list. Popeye and dig dug were also personal favorites of mine.

​@@Fairburne69Tunnels of Doom!!!! I used to setup my party of 4 on my TI-99 and delve into the dungeons 🤣 I can still hear the music in my head... Duh duh duh duh

@@Limiate I must admit I didn't think anyone would remember that one. 🤣

@@Fairburne69when people complain about load times I tell them that I used to have to wait 10 minutes for the dungeons to load - the TI-99 I had used the cassette tape loading. It would be 10 minutes every time I had to load the next floors of the dungeon 🤣

i been gaming since the nintendo entertainment system came out. I've played more games than i can remember, but there is maybe 15-20 that give me that wonder feeling. ER wasn't opne of them for me, but it is interesting how certain games just hit that magic spot and become that amazing experience for you. Shows how hard it is to make a great game, as its hard to put into words wht really makes an amazing game for everyone.

@@ronussI would maybe try the dark souls games first, it guides you a bit more and once you get to Elden ring it’s a much simpler concept to grasp and run free with

@@JeremyCahill-yn2dl ive played all teh souls games, i enjoy them and i enjoyed the dark souls stories. i just couldn't get into ER. it was to easy, it has little challenge. the story didn't grab me. that is all

Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 both had that impact for me. BG3 even more so because its more my play style but both are great and had a huge impact when I first started to play them.

@@ronuss I think my reaction time, possibly due to my age made Elden Ring too hard for me. Even when I knew what to do I was often to slow to react. I ended up getting to frustrated and quitting before finishing. For me BG3 hit the sweet spot of great story and character development. And the game play didn't require me to have quick reflexes but knowledge and tactical thinking which I am good at. I would reload saved games after beating certain encounters just to see if I could defeat it with different tactics then the first time. After a few hundred hours I finally stopped playing.

Can't wait for AOM Retold release later this year.

Facts

Same :) ❤

My all time fav. Can’t wait for retold 🙌

i am so hype for AoM Retold. Best RTS ever made man

"Aeris" fixed it for you:)

@@Eskoxo Smh. Rookie.

@@mrcrc10 lol u tha rookie thats her name on og ps1 version

FFX has entered the chat...😉

@@Eskoxo Sigh. Aerith is her name on the real version bro. Again, you a rookie.

truth

Am I missing something?

Elden ring isn’t even 10 years old, do you mean the souls games in general?

​@@louieaceves20 whoosh

@@louieaceves20 damn you didn't get to play the initial release either?

💯

Really? Baldur's Gate 3 just knocked on your door, that's a game in a generation I'd say, so many ways to play it as well, and the mods that are coming out. LOL. I hate to say it but ER doesn't have a deep story. What it does have is the whole Shonen Anime style of 0 to Hero. "Get powerful, Find "Maidens and Golden twigs" & kill baddies. Also great gameplay loop, which is mostly from boss combats, is S tier. Think MegaMan and Megaman X... Story is .. meh.

@@13th_hero oh BG3 is a game I have 500+ hrs in and will also be a grandpa game lol.

@@13th_hero are you ok? theyre both great games. in fact why don't you go open up bg3 and have a homosexual relationship with your vampire ally?

Walking simulator 3

Right...im a Gen X gamer who grew up with Atari 2600 and arcade machines...i feel absolutely ancient...

@@YoreHistory if you'd like to feel old, im 23 and Diablo 2 is older than I am.

@@YoreHistory Maze Craze was literally my favorite game until I got a Gameboy with Tetris. We are ancient gamers, but in the lore the Ancients are the best so I think of that.

@@Shaunessy LOL well said :) There was actually a game I played (RPG) called Legacy of the Ancients...little did I know it would as you pointed...soon be describing us :)

Killed Motherbrain. Samus takes off the helmet for the first time. Mind blown.

not if you played every souls games before it dont. i finished ER in like 48 hours on my first run, i didn't go everywhere because i couldn't figure out how to get there, it made no difference i beat the game. The game does a good job at feeling like going everywhere matters, it doesn't really. but its nice that it makes you feel like everywhere matters iguess.

@@ronuss I'm sorry but you're probably one of few people who share this bad sentiment/bad take. I took my time with Elden Ring and explored the world, my first clear was roughly 82 hours. With how big the world in Elden Ring is, it's not like previous souls games where the locations are far more linear and connected in a multitude of ways. There really is worth in going everywhere and exploring everything, even in the small form of souls. I guarantee there's a lot of things you didn't do, a lot of quests that you missed, a lot of strong items and fun bosses you didn't fight..... the thing is that you don't HAVE to go everywhere to finish the game, but it rewards you for it quite heavily for doing so. Legitimately two of the coolest fights in the game (Fortissax and Placidusax) are very easily missed if you just stick to the main story. Another really cool fight is Astel Naturalborn of the Void. Elden Ring will be remembered for a very long time and unless they somehow messed up really bad, will likely win GOTY for the second time in a row.

@@mad_lipz5731 you may be right, but the game didn't grab me. i had no interest in the story at all for the first time in a souls game. so i had no interest to get every item for flavor txt. i never said it was a bad game either, so my take is just my opinion. the game didn't grab me. playing again would be forcing it and thats not fun with anything.

@@mad_lipz5731it’s okay, they didn’t like it as much. Reality is not everyone will agree, and that’s valid. It’s an opinion in the end.

@@peacefindersimply5001 That's not why I replied. The person stated that the game does a good job of making you feel like exploring matters but that it doesn't really, when it quite literally does. The same can be said about other Dark souls games which is what said person is comparing/contrasting to, implying that those games do a better job of that when they really aren't that different outside of feeling more confined versus being open world. I'm not arguing whether or not someone likes it, or whether they think it's a bad game or not. I'm pointing out the logical fallacy.

Those games are magic. I love them

I was one of the original in game counselors in Ultima Online back in the day. AMAZING game and community.

UO was my first mmo, I have sooooo many fond memories of that game.

I loved Ultima Online. My first mmo, and a classic one at that. My friends and I still bring up that game from time to time.

Still play UO lol. Insane!

Oh man! 1997! I was so hooked on UO!

Yup D2 was my only fix

diablo 2 in 2001 for me

its just soooooooooooooo good im still actively playing d2r on ladder rn best game

Same D2 for life

Same but I stopped after mosaic madness

the fact that sekiro never even got a DLC is an absolute crime

I don’t get when people say Sekiro has no replay ability, it’s my favorite game period to replay, new weapons don’t change my excitement for shit, it’s all about the satisfaction of the mechanics, fighting the bosses in Sekiro is literally the highest of highs I’ve ever experienced in any video game ever.

@ronthorn3 yeah that's why I'd like to see a sequel on a grander scale so I could have that much more to do before beating it, more bosses and enemy types and side stuff

I really don't think an open world sandbox would work for it. What made it different from their other games was the high polish they could put in due to it having limited choice. For example it easily has the best combat they've made but that's because it's based around 1 weapon.

I got introduced to them with King's Field II and never looked back.

Why is Elden Ring so much more popular compared to their older games? I've played most and my favorite is Bloodborne? Is it just because Elden Ring is so much easier? Im not saying it isnt good though, it really is great! I was just curious where all the popularity came from.

@@GCorndog You're spot on! I'm sure it's because it's easier and not so punishing.

@@GCorndog idk. its still incredibly difficult compared to most action games. its probably a combination of many factors. one, its one of the best games ever made, just a banger from start to finish. 2, people love open worlds for whatever reason. 3 new series, so they feel they can jump in. 4 it released fully complete with shitloads of content, something rare in the modern games market. so many things combined to generate extreme levels up hype, and what seems like the first time in forever, we werent let down. shit it probably blew past almost everyones expectations

@@GCorndog ER is easier in the early game that other souls games but the later game stuff is way harder than the older titles. but fromsoft, with the additions of the spirits you can summon, ontop of the still being able to summon the npc phantoms AND they made it extremely easy to over level, example being how many people beat the game around level 100-110? haligtree where malenia is, is a 110 zone..... my point is, all of this combined has made it way more accessible to most that have been put off how punishing souls game are. summoning spirits can literally cause some boss mechanics to never happen on most bosses.

Better than Skyrim

If you have a good pc. A modpack like nolvus makes skyrim pretty insane. Better graphics then elden ring

@Austrian_Painters_TopGuy I was talking about the lake part, with the sunken buildings, I found it really beautiful and well designed.

Given that Demons Souls came out in 2009 you could say its an understatement

I mean, obviously not, but it makes for funny jokes.

In internet years, it's def been 10 years.

He should've just said souls.

No, he did mean it. He started talking about it as if it was Dark Souls.

Same here brother. Been chasing that high ever since.

yea witcher 3 is on many top 10 best game of all time, including mine.

@@down-the-rabbit-hole I'd put it as my number 1 RPG. For the story and combat felt great

When they both came out, my parents bought me Super Metroid, and they got my brother Zelda LTTP. 2 of the best games at the same time, I'll never forget lol

Same. Both games hold a special place for me. Now more so with the added nostalgia.

DE is so good

No. I played it in 1972.

It's fine with keyboard and mouse

@@diamondowari6143if by “fine” you mean you cannot bind map to M or have potions bound to a different key, I guess it’s absolutely fine. Joke aside, elder ring world and combat is amazing but the UI is literal crap. Following quests is nightmare as well.

i played it throu with mouse and keyboard. as i did with all dark souls. It's very much fine to play it that way. Imo better ;) (cause i hate controllers, or consoles)

@@pun15h3r. thx, i'll pick it up then, i had heard souls games were terrible on mouse keyboard so was holding off

Lots of challenge and speedrunners use mouse+keyboard so i guess it works

i slightly played the second one, the fps part was hot garbage, maybe the story is good but i stopped pretty fast.

@@Ghork1 I don't know when you played the Trilogy but it's old now. It won't stand up to current gaming mechanics wise. BioWare was about RPG first, action later. But Andromeda had the best combat, although story wise it is considered by a chunk of people the worst one. You can call it "hot garbage" but Mass Effect had a big following.

@@Xariann only played the second since it it got lots of good reviews. i did that like a year or 2 after it was released on pc, the fps combat really felt like it was tailored to consoles thus ending up just feeling bad. I never understood the bioware hype. baldurs gate was annoying multiplayers since you had to wait for people at the borders and at the time i was playing ultima online which just in every way was a better game. for single player experiences i'd rather play older SSI games like Dark Sun, Eye of the beholder or Icewind dale from black isle studios, or rpg's like that. The first dragon age i admit was pretty good, but also used a horrible mechanic of scaling enemies that really is horrible for an rpg, same reason I havn't touched D4. Tbh bioware is hyped up. I think maybe they are relatively good RPG's for consoles thus getting that fame, but for what PC offered it was meh.

@@Ghork1 bioware gameplay is always meh, but their characters, worldbuilding and writing (in the older games) is really good.

@@Ghork1 It doesn't sound like the BioWare games are for you. I didn't play any of them on console, I do think there are other games with better gameplay. One thing I didn't do, is to look at the comments from people saying what they liked and then calling "Hot garbage" those I didn't like.

shut up

After reading through some comments, I think it’s new “internet language” like saying no cap, or drip, or whatever these damn kids are saying. Like English didn’t already have the words to describe what you mean. It’s supposed to mean an opinion everyone has had for a long time and he just now figured it out. But I’m just a grouchy old man, what do I know? 😂

Elden rings combat is basic asf really....all you need to do it dodge at the right time....keep retrying boss till you get his timing

Outer wilds??? Lmao

I'd love to watch him play outer wilds ❤

It surely is.

I'm a huge From Software fan but ER's open-world doesn't do it for me, tbh. Except for a few nice vistas, it feels empty and pointless.

Do you mean The 7th Guest?

@@scorey05 7th Guest is the original, 11th Hour is the sequel, so a lil of column A and some of column B :D

Oh wow, didn't know that! 😎

Yeah, that's definitely one of my favorites of all time. It's hard to pick a true favorite with the different genres, but I loved BG1 and BG2 and was SERIOUSLY HOPING they would do the sequel well with BG3. They did NOT disappoint... great game!!!!

If that was true that would be horrid for marketing, if you stopped talking about it then it wasn't that good period 😂 Your statement is nonsense and goes against known factors in neurology, psychology etc 😂 Goat games don't have 50%+ return raye or flood pawn shops in copies jfc copium much
