I know someone who said the original star wars trilogy was ruined from them after the new 3 sequel trilogy came out
For no game should it be mandatory to follow a guide or wiki
Some pretty good crits, don't agree with them all but I do wish they didn't go down the Elden Ring path.
I feel like basically any other characters other than Naruto (in a series called Naruto, ironically)... they just feel more fleshed out and interesting. They just have much more potential to be interesting. I'm talking about. Characters like Obito, Shisui, Itachi, they have much more depths than the MC of the series by miles. Such a shame too, Kishimoto crafted such a vast world yet explored so little of it.
I hqve to say this Game looks absolutely gorgeouse.
Legit been my favorite thing on RUclips lately.
On the thought of making a better swamp level for a game, I actually had an idea with a bit of a horror vibe. -First off, it will have fog/mist that technically impairs vision, but only in the sense that you now have a more limited draw distance, you can still see perfectly fine for anything that is actively a threat, but the fog will often have things moving in it to give it a spooky vibe and make it feel like something is just ahead. -Second, you mostly are meant to walk on various land paths and avoid the swamp water, or at least avoid the deeper sections, with staying in water slowly causing stacking debuffs, and moving in water drawing the attention of stronger optional enemies, or triggering traps like a ghost trying to pull you under, and this stuff affects enemies as well, so pushing an enemy into the deep water may cause them to be grabbed and dragged down, or lure in a tougher enemy that will fight them, as it is hostile to both of you. -Third, while threats may make use of debuffs or poison, they are not immune to them, or at least not all of them. It might be immune to what it uses, but not immune to the other debuffs that are found in the swamp. -Fourth, a wider variety of enemy types, as one of the more interesting parts of a swamp is the varied ecology and the mysterious feeling to it, like it is full of strange and dangerous things. -Lastly, make it fairly open, where if you had a map you'd be able to go in more or less a straight line to the end, but it would go through a lot of dangerous water, and the land paths are twisting, almost intentionally confusing, but never forcing you to go into the water to progress, even if it pretends to hide items or other shinys just out of reach, you can find ways to them that don't involve going in the deep water. This will let players take safer or more dangerous options depending on how they prefer to play and how long they want to stay in the area. I think this makes for a relatively interesting area, it has a specific vibe you might not get anywhere else in the game, it isn't trying to be cruel to you, it doesn't go out of the way to take away your options, and is just as dangerous for the enemies as it is for you.
Spy trying to pronounce all the Japanese words like a weeb is rough
vrother this is a 5 hour video of two turbo-nerds playing PS3 Demon's Souls in 2024 if you're here voluntarily, that rough-ness began well before hearing spy's "Seki-D'OH!" 🫡
The more I hear Plague talk about how he would approach level/gameplay design... the more I feel he would of liked deadcells style and game mechanic's to a degree.🤔
There is so much that I disagree with regarding this video....however, I do agree with a lot as well. I do agree with the idea that boss difficulty shouldn't always be relegated to how many perfectly timed actions you can execute within a 20 fucking move attack. I don't think that is difficult. I think that's annoying. Can I do it? Sure? Do I want to? No. I have to do executed actions for work. It's not why I play a video game. That's why bosses like Morgott irritate the fuck out of me but Midra is great. He has a handful of attacks I have to deal with. He feels a bit difficult but not like I am going to bash my brains out and everything leading up to him from the atmosphere to theme to the music to fight it's self is great. And he doesn't have the high as fuck health pool like most the other bosses. I like Midra because he feels exactly like an end cap boss to a really cool level. I just feel like making the difficulty tied to dodging 20 consecutive attacks before you can get two hits in...annoying. And I think that's why I a lot of the players obsessed with that design tend to shit on magic. Because magic kind of gets around that in Elden Ring. Not having to always learn the 18 million attack chain. I really like Elden Ring a lot. I am a rabid Bloodborne fan. But even I recognize a lot of the flaws within the game. Also I dislike the invasion system and feel like it should always be an opt in/opt out system. It's unique idea but shouldn't be forced upon players.
Hey what if they randomized mimics?
I spent over 1k hours in ER and can confirm that the game is crap.
I don't know what they mean about it not being possible to PVP on original hardware, it 100% is doable with archstones and I don't know why they keep insisting its not - especially when its one step on the archstones website to connect to the servers and like, 20 steps for the emulator.
GermanSpy and ENB. What a blast from the past. I loved their stuff. Couple of the best guys for getting early dark souls 1 content out there
4:58:00 so what I'm getting from this is that Plague's ideal Swamp Level is the one from Resident Evil 5
Don't really know why, but spy's groveling really gets on my nerves in this vid. hardly anything gets mentioned by plague without spy apologizing, taking blame or trying to assure plague that he is of the same or a similar opinion.
3:58:38 Fun fact, this mechanic wasn't first seen with Fromsoftware in Elden Ring or Sekiro... but in DS2! I am not kidding, after all these years, I myself discovered it like a mount ago. While using weapons that do a lot of poise damage or use the stonering, some enemies can stagger and play a different animation than usual, which is actually an opening for riposte. The reason why it is forgotten or unknown to most people is because it's poorly telegraphed, and only large humanoid enemies can break, and you need to move your character closer for the riposte to register. I just find this fact really funny as it proves again that Elden Ring is Dark Souls 2 the second.
About the Japanese culture of not questioning leadership, it's called Saving Face. You don't to be the guy who makes the leader lose face with the company. Or be the police officer who questions the senior detective's work which can result in him losing face.
Oh i got one too! Starwars! Instead its call war of stars and i let a producer ruin that franchise by making fan fic only the few would talk about openly compaired to my original fan base who were fanatics.
Happy 10th year to this video. I've been a supporter for a decade now🎉
He should double down and make a game entirely in a poison swamp
I thought video games wasnt to relax but to keep your attention and challenge you? School does that but with a game I choose what class I want for 60 bucks.

3:46:34 yo, Spy did LoM tutorials? I wonder if he solved the mystery of golems?
Too much friction, im chafing mad hard
It's funny, the discussion about the 'Git gud' mentality slowly being twisted and eroding the community made me think about something else. I noticed another facet that slowly got eroded away too, the messaging system. There have always been troll/joke messages but I feel like there was a shift at some point where all it just became about the joke messages, I feel like it was around D3 but I can't remember. I swear, now in most of the games it's basically impossible to find helpful messages anymore just the same tired jokes over and over. When I played through Shadow of the Erdtree, I think I found about three helpful messages the whole time I played the DLC. It's like people forgot that there was a genuine purpose to the messages at some point.
100000% agreed, I was just noticing this in ER the other day
also its not like people make new ones. Its the same jokes from as far back as demons souls. Yeah, the jok messages infront of a female character/sekeleton/bent over body gets more hilarious every 1000th time its posted.
Okay so the vanguard who you were fighting kept spamming the same attack each and everytime, so how about if his moves were about 5 times faster? What would that change? It's still the same moves but faster.
The combat in Elden RIng has nothing to do with "memorization" in battle, the games like Bloodborne just require tuned reflexes and that's it, I kind of find it insulting that the people complaining about it are apparently biological anomalies and have no innate reflexes at all.
I do not agree with German Spy on the " All of the bosses in the Elden Ring DLC are just infinite combo dealers", Midra for example is my favourite boss in the whole game because he doesn't spam fast attacks.
The crystal lizards respawn when you kill bosses in Demon's but yeah if you don't kill them, you will lose at least 1 in a zone.
In my opinion the only game where invasions worked is Bloodborne, the invasions were never unfair in that game because there couldn't be an overpowered player against you, it was balanced.
why wouldn't you use every dirty trick in the book? that's how these games have ALWAYS been. using crafting items, using varied spirit summons, using spells for 1hko tricks...it's an rpg. you're SUPPOSED to do that. i don't overpower the game with stats. I just use my brain. I don't memorize boss attacks. I just bring a big enough shield or good enough spells and equipment that I can handle it without worrying about it too much. i'll poise strike THROUGH an attack before I memorize the dodge patterns. I dodge when I see an attack coming but i don't MEMORIZE the attacks or what the best dodge patterns are, and i usually play at medium roll so i don't even have the OPTION of doing some perfect dodge strings. The super hard dlc boss everyone's talking about...i literally beat it because i was playing in the way that i was already using tactics that left me able to easily beat him. I've never gone down the road of "get good at dodge strings". That's not interesting to me and there's ALWAYS ways around it in EVERY game, even bloodborne.
YDNBTG
With DS2, Sekiro, and AC6 all being *much* better games than BB, DS3, and ER while having little to no involvement from Miyazaki, the takeaway here is that DeS and DS1 were a fluke and that hack of a man should never be allowed into the kitchen again. Also, Bloodborne and its consequences have been an unmitigated disaster for third-person action RPGs.
49:48 Love the moment were Plague talks about liking Demon/Dark Souls bosses more then bosses in the newer games, while getting stuck in a corner and unable to to get out/hurt the boss. 😂
I humbly disagree with Spy's take on Teenagers- there's so much media for young adults that involve shows with environmental story telling. For pete's sake Avatar the last airbender was incredibly popular! Gravity falls aimed at children who also had to pay attention to background details, things characters said, etc Steven universe as well, I think it's a bit disingenuous to blanket statement teens like that. Maybe certain teens a tik tok teen but let's show our future a little respect.
Gonna be honest i rarely comment but this video was so horrendous and pompous i had to
Plague: 'The argument that Elden Ring is an easy game unless you make it hard on yourself makes no sense to me. I guess they're talking about the way Miyazaki himself approaches the games, where they're designed assuming players will use whatever tools they have access to, including summon ashes.' So, you're saying that you don't believe Elden Ring is an easy game because you don't want to use all the tools at your disposal, and not playing the game the way it's intended makes the game hard? Also plague, a minute later: 'People who say you haven't beaten it unless you've done it without leveling up or bare handed or whatever, that makes no sense to me. However you manage to do it, you've done it, and no one can take that away.' Huh. I agree with the latter, at least. Weird takes to have back to back, though. The Miyazaki approach is absolutely what that means, Plague. The bosses in ER have some stronger tools than they've ever had, but, the player does, too. Fights can be trivialized with sleep buildup, or just kamehameha builds, or bleed stacking, mimic tear, npc summons, player summons, Torrent, whatever. If, as you say, however you manage to beat it, you've beat it, Elden Ring is an easy game. Difficulty comes into the picture when you say, you have to beat it without help, or without ashes, or without torrent, or without physik, or within a certain timeframe, etc. etc. But these are self-imposed limits. You are choosing to make the game difficult by not engaging with its mechanics, or choosing to make it easier by engaging with them. Demons and Dark Souls give you enough materials to build a hundred square feet of wooden fence (sorry to dig up past trauma), and asks you to fence in a ten foot square area. No problem! You've got more than enough materials. Elden Ring is like fromsoft giving you two thousand square feet worth of lumber and asking for two hundred square feet of fence. You still have the same ratio of material to goal, but, if you're still insisting you only need to use the hundred square feet of material from DS1, you're not going to have enough to build the fence. To put it another way, Dark Souls 1 is an easy game. But _why_ is it an easy game? It's easy because the game tests different sets of skills, but doesn't test those skills simultaneously. If you have good manual dexterity, muscle memory, good instincts, reaction times, you can approach it like an action game. But if you're not comfortable doing that, you can take things slow, learn patterns over time from a safe distance, learn the mechanics and change up your equipment, or spells, or just overlevel yourself to help brute force encounters where your action game abilities are lacking. Work smarter, not harder? Work harder, not smarter? The beauty of Souls games is that they let you do both. Well, except for Sekiro, but that's a whole different can of worms. Elden Ring _does_ have more mechanically demanding bosses, with more complex patterns and tighter timing. It also gives you way, way more ways to work smarter. You can use those extra materials as much or as little as you need, just like you could in the older games. If DS1 didn't let you overlevel, and didn't let you kindle bonfires for more estus, and didn't let you summon help, I would not call it an easy game. So, for the same reason it's fair to call DS easy, it's fair to call ER easy. Now, it's okay if you prefer a game with simpler bosses and fewer tools to a game with tougher bosses but also stronger players. I'm not here after this huge rant to say, 'No, Plague, shut up, you're wrong for not liking the thing I like.' The reality is that I myself fluctuate day to day whether I like DS1 or ER more. DS1 at times feels more _clean,_ more _honest._ But, I also love the degree of freedom and sheer volume of choice Elden Ring provides you. There are more, seemingly solid walls in your way, but you also have everything you need to around or above or below or straight through, depending on who you are as a player and what you feel like. Perhaps you're being a little unfair to Elden Ring just because you want more of the games you've already played, and are reluctant to use some of the tools you're given.
we still love you plague, you too spy, please keep this up. I miss you boy so much
