No, the disc isn't any harder than other discs. Easy to break
what kind of primitive Black person still buys things on discs?
get digital, nog
>singleplayer garbage
>hard
lmoa
games can't be judged on difficulty if they are multiplayer idiot
maybe on planet moron
I'd say it's 1/30 of the difficulty of a NES game
pick literally any fighting game and it'd filter 99.999% of ERgay civvies.
this too. startropics is harder.
I beat Startropics as a child. If you want to talk about Difficult NES games, mention Life Force or the Lolo series.
Milicent does make my penis go hard.
>Sekiro: the shortest of the bunch, good but overrated by a rabid fanbase
>DSIII: good but nothing special
>ER: largest, beloved by normalgays
>BB: good, different, has its own unique fanbase
It's accurate, but filet-o-fish should be DS2. Nobody likes it, only insane troons care about it.
Shit opinion homosexual, all garbage, you got meme'd you stupid b***h.

No. It's piss easy if you use summons and magic
Dark Souls 2 is harder
It really is, though. Brume tower on descent after that homosexual, Earthen Peak where all the red abominations invade you, the lead up to the second bonfire at the shrine of amana, these are specific parts that aren't even bosses.
Nope just use chaos shield and a decent hammer
Nah, Sekiro is harder since you can't just overlevel. And even then it's not that difficult on playthrough 1 (yes, demon bell notwithstanding). The only challenging fights were Demon of Hatred and Isshin. No idea why people got filtered by monke.
Its not monke but 2 monkes
I found that one even easier tbqhwy. Just kill the non-immortal one first.
The blazing bull sucked dicks, too.
Can't you parry blazing bull?
I don't remember having any problems against him on my first try, and I didn't even use firecrackers
You can, but I'm pretty sure it inflicts fire buildup anyway. The bull filtered me so hard I dropped the game for Elden Ring and came back only after I beat ER.
How? You just chug some dousing powder, go to a corner, dodge it and then slash its side a couple of times. Rinse and repeat. It's only "hard" if you try to fight it like a humanoid opponent.
Also, didn't you get the firecrackers by that point? Those made the fight even easier.
I didn't think the dousing powder would help much, so I didn't even try it. Also, I did the remembrance later.
Sekiro is easy because your attacks come out fast as frick and you can spam the block button. ER is much harder.
>your attacks come out fast as frick
Depends on the move. And that matters how? Dex builds in ER are even faster.
>you can spam the block button
So can you in ER. And dodging is much easier there, too. No rolling in Sekiro.
I think Elden Ring was pretty bad and all of it stems to the open world design. Did we really need a bunch of copy pasted bosses placed inside inappropriate arenas, a totally arcane questline system with no Morrowind style journal and pointless mob patrols you can just run past?
>Did we really need a bunch of copy pasted bosses placed inside inappropriate arenas
Yes, because it's optional and it lets me fight my favorites of the bunch. This argument from fellow fromsoft players will always be moronic when they replay the games incessantly in the first place to relive boss fights often, which often includes less than stellar areas being replayed.
>it lets me fight my favourites a bunch
sekiro lets you do boss rushes and the other dark souls games are far shorter so you can go to those bosses without it being recycled across the game, this isn't even getting into bosses that are BAD that are recycled. Also if your favourites are repeated a lot...lol.
>You don't like huge games? Fine, they make games for you already
FromSoft has demonstrated they do not know how to do open world games without copy pasting and making samey enemies. No I don't give a frick if you're totally enchanted by how epic it is there's a bunch of samey catacombs around because OMG IT MAKES LORE SENSE when the previous Dark Souls and even Bloodborne had equally realised worlds without needing roaming fields of literal nothing.
>squeezed by constraints that cause us to lose content
Like the constraint of it being open world and getting less content rich areas like Stormveil over pointless open vistas with pasted enemies that do not want to be interacted with?
>and the other dark souls games are far shorter
Elden Ring lets you skip vast swaths of the content if you really want to, including the "bad" recycled bosses if you really don't want to do them. Takes less effort too with teleporting and torrent. In the Souls trilogy you have no choice, there's a lot to run through and bosses you HAVE to face even if you don't like them.
>Also if your favourites are repeated a lot...lol.
Yes, it's a wondrous thing; Crucible Knights, Zamor, Bloodhound knights, Godskins, etc I get to enjoy them so many times. Enjoy your mandatory bed of chaos in the unfinished demon ruins though... lol.
>Enjoy your mandatory bed of chaos
to this day i will never understand why has this boss filtered so many people.
are you too dumb to run from one side to another and just kill the boss with 3 hits?
I got more issue with the dragon god latest rubble to clear or die by flamethrower in few secs
You know its more complicated than just running from side to side to disingenuous homosexual
>takes less effort too with teleporting and torrent
kek all the dark souls games are infinitely quicker than ER in this regard because of good maps and shortcuts. good luck planning out your build paths because of all the item padding too. Let's not forget that Souls let you skip plenty of bosses if you knew where to go
>Yes, it's a wondrous thing; Crucible Knights, Zamor, Bloodhound knights, Godskins, etc I get to enjoy them so many times.
>I get to fight the same bosses using the same movesets multiple times over even though I should have mastered them by that point
...lol
Translation: a world with believable species, orders, factions, architecture from various cultures and different times, and proportions, is bad. Please frick off. I want more effort, not less. What I really, really want is for devs to quit being squeezed by constraints that cause us to lose content. You don't like huge games? Fine, they make games for you already, you homosexuals need to stop trying to take away these marathons from those of us that like them. We don't have many compared to you 20-dollars for 15 hr shitheads.
Give it to me straight, home old are you?
There's no way you're above 23.
The majority of PS1 games are harder.
I wouldn't put ER in the top 30-40 hardest games I've played
That's a lategame enemy
Ive been on an NES tear lately and 95% blow the shit out of elden ring's difficulty. It really is incredible how tame gaming has gotten
without spoiling too much do I ever find more glintstone keys? got mine off a dragon. some npc dude is asking for a spare
Yes.
Thanks bros. I also met a woman dying near a dead wolf (missed the cave the first time I sweeped through there, dude at the roundhold table library told me where she was hiding) and she told me where the other half of the secret artifact was but I already forgot since it was an area I haven't been to yet. Anyone NPC I can speak to for a reminder or am I fricked?
I take it you've already got one half of the medallion from the guy in the burning village, haven't you? In that case you're fine if you explore the map decently well.
alright, thanks and yeah I found the dude disguised as a pot first because it was weird how it was the only one so far that didn't break on contact
You won't find the other half for a long while, it's up North a ways.
the woman will tell you when you get near, so you don't have to worry
Just explore everything and you'll find it regardless.
yes, keep playing.
Why do you people insist on such drastic gimping of your characters? I understand that people like to eventually challenge themselves, but if you're not that good yet, stop letting people tell you how to play. In other words, you aren't meant to fight the blackblade kindred if you've used D's gate.
Are you forced to use spells in ER to buff your weapon/armors or can I just go full dex build without touching any faith/int shit?
I know you can probably finish the game with level 1 but I'm asking for a first normal playthrough.
I know people are saying the game kinda forces you to use summons because the boss will summon enemies as well but I think they're just bad, frick summoners.
I don't mind using magic for buffs, but I'm not a gay homosexual who will use magic for ranged attacks.
tl;dr should I level up faith/int to make my first playthrough easier or should I fully focus on dex or strength?
You can go full dex, but DEX build without bleed or powerstancing is probably the hardest non-gimping one in the game.
STR is very fun because you can buckbreak most bosses.
The thing is, I platinumed DS 1,2,3 with greatswords and full strength.
Now I'm replaying DS series before I'll start ER and I'm having fun with the dex build (with Uchigatana + shield) so that was my plan for ER as well.
So you're saying it's gonna be harder in ER huh?
If you want to go Uchigatana, you'll be fine, since it's got bleed (which is VERY good in ER) and katana powerstancing is very strong. I was mostly talking about rapiers and the like.
ER is obviously the hardest of the bunch without spirit ashes, but there are plenty of ways to take advantage of your build in most cases. STR just stance breaks everything, bleed melts health bars, and magic is, well, magic. "Pure DEX" I referred to doesn't have that luxury.
Aight I'll probably try with Uchigatna + shield as well, maybe I'll put some points into int for damage buff and go for full bleed.
Thanks
Dex is extremly mediocre in Elden Ring unless you go hard on status effects i.e. dual bleed weapons or something. Strength rapes bosses with poise breaks on the other hand.
Nah, katanas are fine because status effects, and Unsheathe is one of the best AOWs.
also we're getting a giant katana in the DLC, so doing DEX might end up working in your favour of you're into katanas
It's not that I'm really into katanas but I don't want to use any STR weapons once again.
Rapiers always seemed kinda lame to me and idk what other DEX weapons should I use so I picked katana.
Rapiers are actually damn good in Souls games except for ER. Fast attacks mean counter damage galore and you can attack while having a shield up. Sorc with Velka's rapier in particular is pure kino in DS1.
Rapidrs are good in elden ring too they just put greatrapiers so it feels outclassed
DEX/FTH is good because you get the benefit of faster casting speed on your spells
And DEX has some good big heavy weapons too
you should lvl faith to 17 for flame grant me strenght and golden vow buff
there's tons of good dex weapons and buff spells, bloodflame blade is a great one that procs bleed
there's also the black buff one that gives your weapon black flame
DEX also has some super cool weapons like the Bolt of Gransax that shoots out lightning
You can also buff weapons with consumables, which are very strong in ER. I find it is far more efficient to focus on one damage stat for the first playthrough since the softcaps are so high, but a few points in faith can also grant access to a lot of very useful utility spells.
No and you're a moron for asking.
But so are the people going on about MUH SNES (snoozefest) GAYMES or whatever. Those were largely only ''''difficult'''' due to limited lives and no or few saves. Any modern game with an ironmode or the like blows them out of the water for that reason alone. And even contemporary shit like Super Meat Boy is mechanically harder than those old ones.
How the frick is this fair?!
Its a sentient boulder DUH
Its sentiet ball
It's the hardest Souls-like game if you don't cheese it. I played it the intended way and died way more in it than I did in any other souls-like. Most of Ganker could not beat the game if they played it the same way I did, so it makes sense why they added so many easy mode options.
because elden ring is more about equipment usage and experimentation than learning the boss. You went into it with the mindset needed for Sekiro, not Elden Ring. Also that picture you attached is a load of shit.
>picrel
LMAO, what kind of turbo homosexual wrote this?
>Did you play intelligently instead of like a fricking moron?
>Did you make use of the actual game mechanics?
>Did you do it naked, at level 1, with the basic attack?
You sound like the type of player who spirit ashes were put into the game for.
You sound like the kind of sweaty pretend-tryhard that is universally mocked. Bet you don't even meet your own criteria, loser.
By the way, if you played with your eyes open and using your hands rather than your feet you didn't actually beat the boss. Congratulations!
It's not even the hardest game in the genre.
Git Gud.
Yes also it's the best game ever made, a revolutionary masterpiece since skyrim
i attacked Varré, he wont leave me alone now. what do?
Go to turtle pope and repent your sin
If you haven't killed him he will be back to normal
>tfw cucked ranni out of her ending on a darkmoon greatsword run because i didn’t have the generic default ending
She must be so pissed watching me use her weapon and deliberately ignoring her. At least I’m ready for the DLC.
no. The hardest games are max difficulty paradox games or obscure luck based games like Ultimate General.
I would assume it is if you played on sl1 and compared it to every game. Although the only sl1 i've done is ds2 and it was basically impossible once you get to the castle
Not even close. You want a hard game? Try Deathmaze 5000.
https://archive.org/details/wozaday_Deathmaze_5000
This thread is bait but the fricked up thing is that there are people who will unironically have this opinion because they've been so coddled by 7th and 8th gen games
>hardest game ever made
Not even close
the inclusion of spirit ashes by default makes it easier than every other souls game
had more trouble with Armored Core Last Raven until I got gud
No that would be some autism shoot em' up. It is the hardest souls game tho. Don't believe me go back and replay any of them after Elden Ring, you'll run laps around all the older tough bosses.
yes, it's the most unfair game ever made
The only unfair its the b***h recovering hp even if you block that attack
Her stance resets if you hit her during any of her hyperarmour animations. Something the game deliberately hides from you.
old cartridges are probably harder than blueray discs
Nothing i could have done against this
not my fault
WOOOOOOOWW
Not even close.
Its just harder than average.
Kind of? Most of its difficulty comes from legitimately bad game design. Elden Ring is hard in the same way that Ride To Hell Retribution is hard.
>bad game design
Lol. Lmao. Imagine being this easily filtered.
No, I'm sorry, you can't defend Elden Ring at this point, at least not its combat. Look at all these fricking webms, the combat literally just doesn't work.
WOW there's no opening here
WOOOOOOOOOOWWWW
Artificial difficulty
It's hard by normal standards but probably the easiest/most forgiving Souls game. Retrieving your lost souls/runes typically isn't a problem since it's set in a big open world where in most cases you can easily swoop in to grab em on your mount and leave unless you're in a linear dungeon area and there's always opportunities to build your character without having to grind the same area repeatedly.
But neither of those are a problem in any other Souls game as well.
Ofcourse not. Ghost 'd goblins is harder. And many others.
>Clearly using the weapon in front of the boas
>Attack doesn't register
Fromdrones will defend this

lmao

like clockwork
I completed all of Ninja Gaiden and Bayonetta, your game isn't hard, just badly designed with unfair moves I can't do anything against, like in this webm
the fact that these are actual Ganker clips is sad
this place is truly R*ddit
cope fromdrone
what drugs did you take to be so moronic that you defend bullshit enemies that glitch out and you can't see?
Anon its a game mechanic you need a special torch to avoid that
I killed one of those by blindly swing my colossal sword in their general direction
>misses roll timing by a full second
>THIS GAME IS SO UNFAIR!!!
what do these "people" who spams stupid webms and posts everyone already ridiculed last year get? What do they gain from this?
>NOOO STOP PROVING MY GAME CHEATS
>bloodhound fang
>mimic tear
oh no no no
>run away from attack in the same direction its aoe directionall attack sprays.
What drugs do you take that make you this rerarded?
no, it has summoning and broken OP weapons
its only hard if you actively choose to make it hard for yourself, but the same can be said of literally any game
no
Whoever is posting these webms sucks at the game, lol. Funny how tourists who complain about souls games always have that defect
some of the bosses just really suck
>replying to bait in earnest
You "people" are as moronic as that poster is pretending to be.
The hardest game I ever played was Oblivion on max difficulty. That game had the dumbest difficulty balancing in vanilla.

I've seen women beat this game at level 1 using a dance pad, how the hell are some of you still complaining about the difficulty?
for me it was contra III when kid
Most unbalanced and easiest from game with tiny hp pool bosses.
