This has been debunked

Thats why you need to perfect the only real build that exists.

Spaming jump attacks with ultragreatwords stagger that b**** dog in 2 hits over the fight is

how? there are videos debunking the summon system existing? lol

its an easy platinum outside of forcing yourself to play those s***ty chalice dungeons. watchdog of the old lords so woat

its halloween fools

I'm ngl, I didn't find most of those hunter items just playing through the game. I needed to look online where they are Spiderman and GoW the only Platinums I have, now those were easy. Bloodborne is way tougher imo

Link to those videos so I can debunk them.

But nah I mean theres clips out there of people oneshotting the late game bosses basically. That alone should give you an idea of whats possible and also using a build like that (highly specific ofc) and summoning I mean its just a good, decent challenge overall

Ofc if you want to beat Malenia with a build thats not perfect for the fight it will be tougher but name me a game that has this amount of customization that doesnt have this fundamental flaw.

In fact elden ring is still incredibly balanced since you can freely respec. Other rpgs you skill one level wrong and can basically start a new character

In fact I am very happy from soft still has the balls to not entirely simplify their progression system like all the other AAA titles

Spooky

thats exactly my point lmfao

‘just use the overpowered spells and summons and absolutely melt the bosses bro’ that is trash.

and look, everyone is gonna have a different opinion on summoning. in my opinion it doesnt even come close to the high octane combat of sekiro or BB when you introduce summons. i dont play these games to have the boss ignore me for half the fight. thats not fun.

i looked up some videos and this one pretty much aligns with my thoughts:

nobody is forcing you to use summons none of the bosses are designed around summons, none of them are hard enough to have to use summons. i beat them all no summons with a scythe lmao

so your entire point is invalid, go find something else to cry and be wrong about pls

i never said im being forced to use summons. my point is that the gap between using them and not using them is insane. the game seriously incentivises using them by having bosses that are mobile af and have extemely narrow windows for attacking. the fact that you went out of your way not to use a mechanic that is front and centre of the experience literally demonstrates how busted they are.

and i am clearly not the only person who feels like this, i dont know why you are being a d***head about it

reminds me of when DS2 came out and the community got pissy whenever that game was criticised as being lesser than previous releases, only for the honeymoon phase to eventually wear off and the majority realising that it was filled with BS and poor design.

insane people will tell you this game is balanced even while it gets patched multiple times to try and fix the amount of busted s*** in it lmfao

not this guy man

this was my opinion before searching that video, i only looked it up cause you wanted a video

‘show me a video of what you’re talking about so i can debunk it’

shows video

‘ohh not THIS video!!’

nahh its alright no hard feelings I just thought you was gonna give me a zulu the witch type video where they exposed something in data about summon system like I dunno "they nerf bosses when you summon" or some s***

I just think you spend 80 hours to reach Malenia you better have a decent build like bro. You dont wanna learn anything? If everything was perfectly viable and you cannot do anything wrong with how you skill and what spells you find to have good dps etc. then the game would be boring as s*** too

and then again from soft gave you like 10 ways out because you can just respec anytime you want, summon or summon a friend. I dont no any other rpgs that have that much depth in their system and allow you to alter everything you want whenever you want. Especially after the recent patch where everything is so strong now

Nah this late game is unbalanced stuff is just deadass wrong

and all of this is still ignoring the fact that you can easily farm exp and Malenia is entirely optional.

Like bro if the boss is optional I wish frrom soft would slap even worse enemies and challenges to us. Having batshit insane optional bosses is one of the dopest things rpgs devs can make imo

EDIT: Actually now that I think about it they need to pull a Laurence the first vicar type situation where they reuse Maliketh in the DLC with th second phase being the first and his HP bar is 3 times as long and he has another nigtmare phase

Lol it’s insane how OP jump attacks are. Kinda disappointing when your strength build turns into a spamming jump R2 build, no variety of attacks

It’s just too effective

Lmao yeah i finished the game with that

You're fighting a losing battle. Dude blocked me for skipping episodes of One Piece. Bro is unhinged

The two games that you absolutely cannot critique without getting piled on are Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption 2

I played it on release and thought it was fine tbh, even Radahn. I won't hesitate to criticize a game I like either so
