replaying this game now with nothing but the normal greataxe makes me wonder why people think the game is THAT bullshit in terms of difficulty. yes it's hard and yes some bosses take a good amount of tries but everything seems to be very doable as long as you don't completely neglect vigor. but i understand that not everyone knows that vigor needs to be your highest leveled stat in the early to mid game
@logan-inc Says:
dunkey got vigor checked. level the fuck out of vigor first and foremost and then balancing won't be a problem anymore
@ysonline Says:
This game was so big he named his company after it 😂
@galatada Says:
I do dislike that if you really want to experiment then you have to do new game plus. I want to switch my character up 50 times. I want all the unique weapons I find cool/fun to be easily upgraded. But if you're playing through one time, you have to basically stick to one or two weapons and that's it.
I want to experience all the cool spells and incantations but also all sorts of different weapons armors and shields. I've stuck to one main style for the entirety of my first playthrough (I just got to the mountain tops of the Giants and I now feel so weak after feeling so strong)
That's honestly my biggest complaint. I want to try all the play styles on my first playthrough. I hope their next game keeps that sort of thing in mind. At the very least, allow us to move our upgrades from one weapon to the other without needing to farm an incredibly limited amount of upgrade materials.

I'm not saying I'm in a parasocial relationship with Dunkyey, but the biggest betrayal I have ever faced is that he sucks at Elden Lord. :(
@E88twenty2 Says:
Dark Souls 2 2
@0nlyRemaining Says:
Its sad that Dunkey didnt decide to just do NG+ instead, he said its hard to do goofy builds, but it really isnt at all, I 100%'d the game by NG+4
@MORPHENKNORPHORPHMOR Says:
that viewpoint end theme still hittin the spot!

Game isn't so big
@Megr1m Says:
My copy of this game is sentient. It hates me and actively lets me know.
@adilo7733 Says:
This game sucks and I have done every ending but Fia’s because she suck. 😊
@GigaDonk99 Says:
I agreed with this video when the game came out, and now it's been patched several times over and its much better balanced.
@ivelsoup Says:
Elden Ring sucks ass
@cappu1881 Says:
finally, dark souls 3 2
@tonyl7498 Says:
Nu uh, not this time dunkey. I caught you red handed in the biggest lie ever told. Game can't be spoiled huh? Game never ends huh? And yet you beat it 4 times? Explain that one Jimbo. And it only took me 4 short years to realize it.
@chainbastard6034 Says:
4 years later and ive got to say it, i think he was just bad at the game lol
@ohstate411 Says:
This video is kinda special to me. I remember being up at 3am feeding and rocking my 3 month old while watching this video. I come back now and again and just remember what it was like when my son was just a baby.
@StopLookingAtMyAmygdala Says:
Now that I've beaten every major boss with every main build type without summons or ashes, am I good enough to say that parts of this game are indeed too hard?
@MultiBear64 Says:
Ah yes, Bingues Kane
@CaracalJubatus Says:
You are criticizing the game. This is not a proper review.
@drlbjizzrespect Says:
I absolutely love Elden Ring, it’s probably my favorite game of all time but these criticisms are extremely accurate. Two things I will mention are that you sometimes get almost punished just for exploration, when I just started the game I accidentally teleported to Caelid and felt like it should’ve been a much later game area. Also, some areas and bosses are just so extraordinarily hidden that you may as well not do them for 5 full play throughs
@GenericApeManCryptid Says:
Having finally played and beat this game (but only one time) I agree 100% that it's an absolutely beautiful world that I loved getting to know, but actually playing the game was 50% horseshit. Honestly it's not even the Legend/Demigod bosses that bugged me, but the jackass field bosses and endless deluge of jackasses who exist only to chip away at your flasks between one grace and another.
@stinduwardo Says:
how are they going to top this
@samuelault4723 Says:
Hunt down your opponents in raid shadow legends, use this code to get the legendary Cheshire Cat for free!
@suhukishinden9888 Says:
One of your best and most accurate game reviews
@thetallestdwarf7041 Says:
What is that weapon he uses against the tree sentinel?
@KalebEdaw Says:
Nah, I don't think it was hard enough. I think they should add a KNACK MODE
@taherbeainy8202 Says:
I never knew how builds works in these games since ds1. I just play with a broadsword until i find some better weapon or spell to use. Then build up to be able to use them 😂
@SprikSprak Says:
For me the difficulty is the way they deflect the player to other areas, if you bump into enemies that are one shotting you it means you're not meant to be there yet and you need to go explore in a different direction. Where I think it REALLY needs improvment is the UI. Why is the inventory system so bad? You can't compare gear stats easily, heck, you can't even pause the game! Also having a radial menu for spell and gear selection is something that's been done by games for AT LEAST 15 years so there's no excuse for them to not be doing something similar, especially for mages.
@Toadwranglersupreme Says:
Mad because bad
@ObsessiveScoutMain Says:
i still can't get off the great plateau
@d0peaminec0m1x8 Says:
I love how this guy acknowledge everything that made the game great, gave it the time it deserved to have a good understanding, and the last part where he said that the game ultimately just funnels most players to have the same broken cheesing build to beat some of the late game bosses, and that most grabs and attacks just kill in one graze or breath of its pixels is cheap and unfun, I felt that personally, like finally someone said it.
@aguyfromnothere Says:
I was going to wait and play it on PC so I could cheat but broke down so I could be murdered on PS5
@Noodliest Says:
He needs to revisit this video. It's a great video. But it's wrong. Dunker is missing... the... "experience" of Elden Ring
@harrys1400 Says:
The reward system is what makes this game overrated: like 90% of the stuffs you tried so hard to find or fight for is useless to you. Sure they are useful if you switch class but that doesn't make your character stronger. They should allow you to grind for things the make your own build better, like having a dismantle system or forging system make rewards useful for all classes at the same time. See what other grindy games are doing: monster hunter, nioh etc.
@ripdito Says:
WRONG
@Yuliviee Says:
yeah the weapon upgrades are super stupid. also why not put a journal for side quests with some hints please? because all of you just google the fkin quest and call it good?
@snowbro4959 Says:
O no bro…hold up ain’t elden ring a british version of dark souls or sekiro or both? 🤔
@xAetherienx Says:
Get good scrub. One shots are necessary.

Jogging simulator
@Sonny462 Says:
Bro had no vigor fighting end game bosses lol
@SerialSkull Says:
Past a few newgames, doesn't matter what armour you're wearing for some bosses. Or even enemies.
@catchasmurf762 Says:
Consider me mostly swayed
@Solairethedarksoul Says:
I agree. Being able to slide the damage down by like 10% might make it feel better. Still my favorite game of all time. Though I miss the adrenaline of being invaded like in dark souls 3
@JonathanJollimore-w9v Says:
I challenge anyone with anyone with a doctorate in ANYTHING try beat this game on your own no outside help see how far you get 😉
@AmarylisFlow Says:
Maybe the real enemy was the camera and lock-on we wrestled with along the way…
@NathBeLive Says:
Late comment but I feel so much on his complaint about exploring someplace and being rewarded with something completely useless to you. I wish these great item finds could be sold to a vendor for a special currency that could be used to get something else like equivalent weapons, spells, or upgrade materials. So i dont have to put this legendary wand away forever and feel I wasted my time in the dungeon. I feel it would have been a simple fix to a problem so big.
@jackforehand6071 Says:
It is to hard :D
@philcurry4959 Says:
yeah I'm 200 hours into Elden Ring and I'm genuinely considering dropping it without finishing because everything from Officer Niall onward starts to feel more like a chore than a fun game. The late game difficulty spike is brutal and unfun. Getting whooped by the first boss and having to git gud is one thing but having a second git gudder barrier of that intensity just makes people who already sunk a lot of time into it want to quit playing.
