@colonelkilgore I guess you could just skip around the video and treat that as clip notes?
I was leaving this open to remember to check out the video later, but there's no way I'm sitting there to watch the whole video. I appreciate the effort and the content, but most people would have to watch it in stages over time.

@KilloWertz yeah I wasn’t having a pop or anything, it was just the shock of hitting play and expecting it to be ‘somewhere’ between 10-30 mins… and then seeing that, we’ll I ain’t ever getting through this! 🤣
The crowd, accepting this immediately, assumed the anti-Eurasian posters and banners everywhere were the result of acts of sabotage by agents of Goldstein and ripped them from the walls.
In the QA video he mentioned a big spoiler but he warns well before. An amazing place he found by accident and was told to get out because he wasn’t supposed to go there.
So yeah I’m not going to say what it is but he mentioned it in the video.

I am on the hype train. I can't get enough. I understand ill see spoilers, but there are so many secrets in these games I'm not worried. I keep watching all the videos and reading all I can. All signs are positive. Elden Ring is going to be fantastic.

I’m a Legend of Zelda and god of war super fan…. Elden ring excites and scares me. I don’t get along well with games that are hard for the sake of being hard. The world, character, and story are all huge selling points, but I’m reserving hype until there are real world reports on how the difficulty compares to other games.
Still, excited nonetheless
@godofwarj5 they’re not really that difficult mate… they just take a different mindset going in. There are obviously tough sections but players really just need to curb their natural enthusiasm to launch themselves into each combat scenario while spamming r1.
@godofwarj5 I wouldn't say that From Software games are hard for the sake of being hard. They are indeed hard, but it also somehow looks achievable.
Nioh on the other hand - that's certainly a game which is hard for the sake of being hard. It's doing all sort of nonsense for no good reason. It's addicting, but it's certainly harder than the From games.
Of course, this is subjective and many people may find From games pointless, but I rarely felt that something is hard just to annoy you. The game elements are made that there is always a way out, you just need to figure it out.
Agree that from games aren’t hard in the way that say, RESOGUN is hard. Or Returnal. Both much harder in the traditional sense. From games are about learning and overcoming adversity.
Nioh I actually found too easy for some builds hard for others. My hammer build was able to r2 faceroll through the game, wearing the heaviest armor and huge dps/stagger. But some other weapons less so.
@velio84 but they are definitely harder than GoW and LoZ… I’m not ashamed to admit I’m a casual. I’m 50/50 between playing games on easy or medium. GoW I’m totally comfortable playing medium or hard, but I do get annoyed at how it turns into a grind fest to beat each filler battle.
Where would you recommend a casual start w/ from software games… like which game?
@godofwarj5 I'd go with Bloodborne. It has the simplest stat upgrade system. But it introduces a lot of the concepts that are more complex in other From Software games. Its also more fast paced. But in any case, the best advice I can give is take your time. No matter the From game, if you aren't used to how they play, don't try and rush through it. Slow down and go one step at a time, learn each element, don't be afraid to google what things mean.
@velio84 cool, thanks for the pointers. I actually ’own’ Bloodborne in the ps plus collection but the reviews and descriptions of it put me off to the difficulty of it. Now Elden Ring on the other hand, is just intriguing enough that I might have to just get gud
@godofwarj5 I found Bloodborne to be one of the easier From games. Health potions are wayyy more plentiful, attacking and dodging is easier to control, few other things. It certainly has the standard From mentality but IMO, it has a few things that make it a bit less prone to frustration.
In addition, thats one reason I would still suggest Bloodborne over Elden Ring. Elden Ring, based on the footage I've seen, is much closer to Dark Souls's slower more methodical combat which I personally found to be more of a challenge than Bloodborne's faster combat.
