It feels like the Game of Thrones Finale with the Nights King and Arya instead of the Nights King and John. Except it’s Miquella and Radahn instead of Miquella and Godwyn. Just disappointment because they tried to subvert expectations instead of just delivering payoff to what was suggested.
That's a really apt comparison. It's like, did I see it coming? No. Is that mild surprise worth the disappointment and squandering of a much more exciting concept and foreshadowing that preceded it? Not really. Especially since it's a character we have already seen and I never really considered as interesting as the other demigods anyway.
I don't know if it is fair to complain about cheesy online builds or the bosses not being fair if you're intentionally gimping yourself by playing pure STR and not going for double bonk staggers at least.
The problem is that fromsoft had the great idea to implement level scaling… in a souls game. It’s artificial difficulty.
My problem isn’t necessarily gay shit being shown in media, because in the case of Elden ring it’s shown to be fucked up with Mohg and Miquella. My problem is the glorification of it, which as far as I know elden ring doesn’t do.
I feel like they could have done something with the corpse in Mogh’s palace. Like the true ending is realizing that Miquella’s flesh is still being manipulated by an Outer God and influencing his actions in the Land of Shadow.
Wait, you mean the damage type that does it by percentage of max hp makes bloated health pools engaging? I personally used the Black Blade, DOT and reducing max health in one package for only 46 int. What a steal
It's a bullshit argument, if the devs don't want players to play STR build then don't give them the ability to do it. It's not like I'm not engaging with the progression system. It's just bad design that could have been fixed by just buffing strength to make up for the slowness. Heck, virtually every mook encounter goes incredibly fast but bosses literally have 40 times the health pool of the random enemies.
Jesus Christ are you serious? You need to be endgame levels anyways to play it, and the amount you get stronger each level decreases fast.
I keep telling people, but they don't listen: you don't actually want game devs, especially Japanese ones, to elaborate on their vague lore concepts. They almost inevitably come up with something stupid when put on the spot.
I was going to say fuck this (literal) gay DLC for not being about Godwyn because he interested me the most, but we only dodged a bullet with that shitpost about the homosexual incest Miquella and Godwyn boss because the devs wanted to subvert expectations.
So far my favorite detail is that the candle sconces in the tower settlement are statues of the monumental from Demon's Souls. I think that's nice. But we get another brutal mob enemy with two swords, another big bad dragon with a flashy moveset, the pontiff sulyvahn looking chick that people have been bringing up, I spotted some bug men in the trailer like there are in ringed city.
The issue is that they’ve done it well before in Dark Souls and Bloodborne. They explained enough to keep it vague and satisfy people.
The entire DLC story feels like a shit post. Read the Young Lion’s Helm item description.I have had more fun shit posting on ERG than I ever had on Elden Ring itself lol Fromsoft fans have never felt so fragile.
It's not that they don't want you to its that you just picked hard mode. Do you use items? Switch your weapons? Enchant them with weaknesses? If not then you're gimping yourself on purpose and that isn't the game designer's fault.
I'll wait for lore videos, but the Lord of Frenzied Flame, to me, was definitely someone on Empyrean level. Shabriri is basically its messenger to trick people into committing crimes for it, and is all corrupting. Vyke went through so much being corrupted by the Frenzied Flame; one would think there'd be heavy lore implications and nods about how catastrophic it is. Everyone fears it for a reason - it's basically the Anti Christ to the Golden Order.
