How? How do you play video games professionally and chicken out of elden ring? Just grab moonveil or some other OP weapon.
IMO the OP builds are the super fun ones to play.
I spent a half a day farming up two Magma Blades and I'm just cruising through it. No thoughts, head empty, just DPSing down bosses before I even need to dodge.
Most people playing elden ring: 
You playing elden ring: 
I got bored after a few hours with the moonveil. I used dual katanas with bloodhound step for most of my run.
I'd rather not be compared to Asmongold. Cause like, I suck at that game, too.
Yeah, I also think all of elden ring is too hard to be fun.
Honestly fuck em Fromsoft gamers that think you're playing wrong unless you do it level 1 with no weapon upgrades and no armor, uphill both ways in the snow. They're challenging games but they're also not necessarily that difficult if you let yourself use the shit the game gives you
Elden Ring took the boss design that previous Souls games would have 1-2 of -- which they used more for thematic and gameplay emphasis -- and designed like at least half of the bosses like it. It's so tiring to play compared to the Souls series (and DS3 was already kinda' pushing it). Wouldn't mind it so much if ER became the capstone to Fromsoft's Souls-style action games as they experimented with more gameplay styles, but we know that won't happen.
Imagine being paid to play video games and sucking at them worse than me lmao
You could literally just be him but better
I'm sure the times I drop off mimic tear to hold down the fort while I help my partner find her hair products or tell my pre-schooler to go back to sleep or put the laundry in the dryer would be a lot more compelling for viewers if it managed to pull off a W more often lol.
Reactionaries need to git gud confirmed.
Man I wish I had the patience to play that fucking game
If you skip all the side stuff it's still long but about 200 hours shorter.
Idk it’s really just a skill thing for me, and it’s summer atm so I’m trying to enjoy outside time.
That's probably a better use of your time anyway.
Meh kinda I feel like I just walk around in big circles
Better than walking around in big circles in a video game.
Walkingpilled. Nice.
Oh yeah I walk lots and the city I live in is pretty walkable but when you’ve been in the same city for too long it just feels like a cage
I actually feel like I've gotten a lot of beneficial things from video games.

Here's the clip where Asmongold says that he's not going to keep playing the Elden Ring expansion because it's too hard. He says, "Of course I could beat it, I just don't really want to". His copium levels are off the charts.
Soldier of Godrick
He comes back as the final boss of the DLC.
Most of us put the game down for the past year or two, but not Soldier of Godrick. He's been busting his ass training in the lab, just waiting for a rematch.
Dunno why they're using that screenshot, she beat the first major DLC boss
isnt there a scientific study that says people get worse at video games after 25 years old?
Mods, ban this post for ageist anti-gaming propaganda.
And no, I'm not kidding.
For years people have been touting a line about losing react time when you hit 23-24 years old, no idea if it's apocryphal or not I haven't personally seen a study or whatever.
I lost interest in competitive / PvP games well before then, they could be right and I wouldn't know. It isn't a noticeable issue if you only play map pervert games.
I have 100% gotten worse at video games after 25. I don't think it's reflexes, I doubt my reflexes have changed enough to matter for the gaming I do. I know at least part of it is lifestyle. I can't put as many hours into gaming anymore, I'm out of school and tbh I'm a bit out of the habit of pushing myself mentally, which I think has made me a slower learner. Actually I'm glad I'm typing this out cause I hadn't thought about it this and I'm sure now that I'm aware of it I can turn the trend around.
there's still like 40 year olds that can play Street Fighter and other fighting games professionally that still require insane reactions times
Well that and reaction time isn't quite as important in fighting games as people think.
Most shit is educated guesses and conditioning. Reaction time helps, sure, but isn't as important as folks say.
No, I suck at street fighter 6 because I'm old and it's woke or something... this is a scientific fact
IIRC counterstrike pros age out pretty hard as reflexes decline.
That doesn't really make sense. Professional musicians need to have WAY better reflexes and their careers usually only end when they're old as shit.
Clicking mouse requires 82% more brain power than your average “musician.” Beethoven can write a symphony but he can’t hear footsteps coming up to knife him 🥱
You know, if we all just stop talking about Asmongold and stop posting articles about him, we could stop seeing articles and media about him and our lives would be improved.
He is just gamer Vaush, treat him accordingly.
dlc (messmer) spoiler
I found the Messmer fight extremely hard too but it was fun. Did not feel too unfair though I really think the windows between his combos are too narrow. It was fun.
Second phase I had no idea what was going on. Still don't. Thankfully it's a Thatcher-IRA kinda deal so I had to only get lucky once.
Tbf though I don't know if he gave up at Messmer or at some other point. The article could likely just be using any art from the game.
