Elden Ring, especially Elden Ring's DLC, has so many fun and interesting ways to play the game. This is the worst.

This interstellar Factorio-like has consumed my life - Dyson Sphere Program
1:57 Without DOOM we wouldn’t have Quake; without Quake we wouldn’t have Source Engine. Without Source Engine, no Valve as we know it-no CS, no Half-Life, no Portal or Left for Dead, and maybe no Steam-, and certainly we’d miss all the community generated content Source modding has given us. But most importantly, an even buggier Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines! But who knows-maybe that means a DIFFERENT third game and a potential future for Troika and tabletop-styled cRPGs. Edit: The only “failed” series of clones in my lifetime has been Souls-likes. Besides Lies of P, no game simultaneously captures that Miyazaki world building and narrative design AND innovates pleasantly on combat mechanics. I’d say Nioh, but those 2 aren’t really souls-likes-to me, they feel like Ninja Gaiden successors with a lil Souls vibe to the levels, I mean the layout and the sense of attrition. I do enjoy Mortal Shell, tho, and I’d love a bigger and badder sequel, maybe hire a veteran writer if possible.
the surge is a hot pile of mess but i'd be lying if i said i didn't enjoy it
[ 33:56 ] that icon is a slugcat and you're not telling me otherwise
Not going to lie. Enderlillies got me into the genre
Idle Heroes!!!!!!
Zelda 2 is the best Zelda game hands down!
Hmmmm.... an adventure of link like game. NICE! I loved AOL and I wanted more of games like that. Yeah, it was my introduction to to the Zelda franchise.
I just started Hades this summer(yeah 3 years late okay), and my favorite part is how much passion the team put into the game. You can tell from the game that they were truly passionate about the game, a quality you don't see in too many games, especially the modern ones today.
every game this studio puts out is of the same high quality. i'd say its worth going back and playing through their library if you haven't already.
@@ingeniousclown Yep! I have them all added to my wishlist on steam, because literally after playing it for a couple hours, I got completely obsessed, and researched all of Supergiant Games. Gonna buy all of them on the Steam Fall Sale, then I'll have a good library of games to play through! (Along with others). Yeah, I'm obsessed. 😂I mostly only played car sims and Nintendo games, but this game literally got me into actual, standard games(though Hades is above standard). And wow that's a long reply! :D
@@Sethsimracing awesome! I hope you enjoy them even half as much as you've enjoyed Hades!
wdyt about deadlock?
haven't had a chance to play it yet
Tbh they have the right to do that idk why everyone be like this
I also got hooked on Starcraft 2's co-op when I was just gonna replay the campaigns. The weekly mutations keeps me coming back, for more than a year now!
i just wish battleborn released the game with an online bot mode with randomly selected characters and peer to peer connection so you cpuld play against friends.
You know… as someone who actually enjoys playing games with cheats on, I would unironically love to get that glitch 😅
This game is taking too long to add new content tho. Character games need to get moving on new char and cosmetics quickly or else people get bored.
Already free on epic three month later soooo.... Yeah seems you predict well. It will be probably have some players who will try on epic few days before the game drop in the abyss. Again.
I enjoyed your playthrough of this game very much. Thank you for playing it. Also, I think You might also enjoy The Room series. I hope you play that as well.
The game should have been free to play..
its free now on Epic store
@@emoronez i knoww
5:52 𝕃𝕆𝕃𝕃𝕃
just got put as a free game on epic, maybe a player surge otw
This is now free on epic
I played the game for the first time now (free on Epic) and it is so frustrating to play, i don't find it fun at all, i don't even know what is happening and i just die, a lot. Sad cuz the characters look good & the overall design too. i'm out!
It is called LEARNING CURVE. Pretty much every game has that but it differs in every genre. One can have a deep learning curve, meaning harder to learn and master, and another would be beginner friendly.
Will you be playing The Room series? (puzzle box game)
Tomorrow the game will be free on Epic Games
The Soft Boy era sucks...
let's be real here, all nintendo does when shooting down fan games is shoot themselves in the foot since when they shoot down fan games, they are shooing away their fans.
Came here because I just ran the credits and figured my quick little journey was over. I forgot that people are comparing this game to TUNIC! 🙄
congrats on beating the tutorial
Bro it’s still a shield only run your just salty that he’s better than you in literally every way
From what game is the gameplay shown at 0:22?
Wizard of Legend
For me, a very important aspect of metroidvania games is the quality of their locks and keys. If your metroidvania is full of literal locks and keys, or it's full of special power-ups that have no use expect to get you past very specific barriers with special markings (i.e. a glorified lock-and-key), then that's just a downright boring game. I think the ideal lock-and-key situation works like this - you're exploring the world, and you come across a very interesting room. You know there's something going on with the room,, but you have no idea what. It's a lock, but you can't even begin to picture what the key would look like for this lock. As you continue to explore, you shouldn't run across this same style of lock too many more times - it kind of ruins the magic of the lock. Maybe you'll see it once or twice more, or maybe this specific kind of lock is only ever seen in one place in the game. Eventually you find the key - the power-up that unlocks it. The key turns out to be a versatile power-up that can actually unlock a number of different styles of locks that you didn't even realize were related, but now that you have the key, it immediately clicks which places you can go to use that key. This key is also just generally useful, aside from unlocking locks - perhaps it helps you navigate the map more easily, or maybe it's a useful combat technique, etc. That's a very difficult ideal to reach, and honestly I'm currently struggling to think of any single power-up that fits that description perfectly, so I'll come up with a hypothetical example. Say you're playing a game where you commonly use a sword as a means of attacking. The game will also have buttons you can slash to open doors. In one particular room you find two buttons that are on timers on opposite ends of the room - it's apparent that you'll need to quickly hit both buttons to be able to proceed, but there's no obvious way to do so. What'll be the eventual power-up that goes with this room? Teleportation? Time slowing? Maybe hallow-knight's horizontal flying ability? There's no other room like this in the game. Eventually you acquire a powerful gun, and soon after the game teaches you that guns can hit buttons. Aaah, now you know how to solve that room. And you know how to solve other rooms too - like that one room that had an enemy standing on a pressure plate, far out of reach across a chasm - you were assuming you'd need some sort of wall-jump to get them, kill them, and let the door open, but no, you can just shoot them. The gun does also give off a bit of a kick, so if you shoot it downward while in mid-air, you can get a little further than normal, letting you reach a couple of places that were just out of reach. As you can imagine, the gun is also very useful for combat too. The gun example isn't perfect - ideally, the locks in the word will feel like they make sense in that world - and it's very rare to have worlds full of button/pressure-plate puzzles everywhere. For a more natural-feeling puzzle, you can think of, say, hollow knight which has a large dead-end room with almost nothing in it. You know something's up, but you don't know what. When you walk on the ground, you'll notice that it's extra noisy and makes a weird particle effect, but who knows what that means. You might find a couple of other smaller places that have a similar style of ground later on. Eventually you acquire a downward smashing ability, and then it clicks - those rooms were trying to tell you that the ground was weak, and you should be able to smash through them with your new ability. And hey, look at that, you can also smash through cracked glass. And it's technically a combat ability too (though I never really used it in combat). This example is also imperfect, but it does feel more natural to the environment. It's ok to also have some more "boring" locks-and-keys, like a simple double-jump ability to get to just-out-of-reach ledges. As long as there's also a lot of interesting locks-and-keys as well. And I think it's these interesting power-ups that really make a metroidvania great.
WHY DIDNT I GET THIS IN MY RECOMMENDED WTF?? TWhatd you do to the algorithm?
i think i looked at it wrong and now its holding a grudge
The problem that I usually have with game companies is that they should be watching videos like these and responding to the community about how they'll improve it. He might not be correct 100% on everything, but there's somethings that they could fix which could get the game back on point
I did my first playthrough fully blind no guides no nothing just cooked the strategies from the top of my head took me about 8-10 hours or so to finish. One of the best experiences of my life this game is insane.
hell yeah, that's what its about!
the last review is so real
How does this compare to symphony of the night in your opinion?
At a surface level I think the basic gameplay is more enjoyable than SotN, but I think SotN is the overall better experience (but just barely). Bloodstained is too complex for its own good, with systems that I really think would be much better if they were pruned heavily to make them more palatable. Instead, the game is bogged down by these systems, which makes me look at SotN more favorably for its relative simplicity.
@@ingeniousclown thanks
I enjoyed Celeste. Near the end I put the cheat mode on because I was more interested in seeing how the story ends. Simple.
It’s such a shame that this game flew under the radar. It’s absolutely my second favorite 2d game (before the eminent hollow knight, obviously) and it was made so well by such a small team. The worldbuilding is also really interesting.
Aand Mindustry is opensource
Sega does what Nintendon't: They actually care about their fans
this review literally sounds like if i reviewed why sekiro is better then elden ring
Launching a pay to play arena game is asking for it to die. It's pretty much solved that these games make a profit on cosmetics and gambling, asking people to pay for entry on top of that is career suicide.
Never played gigantic but I can confidently say that it looks like a faster and much MUCH uglier version of Smite
sounds like you would love Sekiro
i loved sekiro. but i also love elden ring
Sounds amazing. I need this.
27:40 yea, I don't think the original devs wrote the game in their own little programming language. They used the standard Unreal Engine one, so industry standard more or less. UI is also just webpages that are displayed with some triggers to know if a player has clicked, literally takes like 1 minute to implement.
This game will be free next week (22/7/24) on epic for a week Guys this will be THE CHANCE to make this game blow in popularity, probably the best chance it'll ever have
In 2097 we’ll be free… and rotting… and old… what I’m trying to stay is start developing NOW… or make it a “parody”.
I’ll say one thing in defense of Nintendo. These fangame creators COULD use heavily inspired “decoy” characters OR make the dialogue super Raunchy so they can call it a parody.
Mindustry runs flawlessly on my puny Linux laptop. I love it!
Now Skumnut has do to rickety again
after his ng+1000 it'll probably be a breeze for him
