Yeah, that's true too. He was super quick, and when you thought you were safe behind a column, and maybe catch your breath for a sec, his attacks would just go right through them and mess you up.

But when I finally learned his move set, and figured out how to get around his attacks, I finally got his ass. I could read Malenia's moves a little easier, and my blood flame build luckily did pretty good against her, but she still beat my ass like a punching bag quite a bit before I got her.

I had fun with both of them too, and love the game, but there were times when it felt super cheap just for the sake of difficulty.

This is getting ridiculous. Why not "bonfire genre"?

I'll settle this...

Miyazaki game!

soulsbornering is the best name. first was demons/dark souls, then bloodborne and now elden ring.

I know sekiro is an amazing game but it's like a cousin to soulsbornering.

About 3-5 hits without heals is the sweat spot for me. 2 hits from the strongest attack.

Anything below that usually means you're under leveled.

Most people won't be over leveled for the endgame bosses. You could overlevel in other souls games too. This game removes that grind simply because there's so much content there isn't a need to repeat anything.

I went with a mage build so that made my charachter a bit of a glass tank, so i was lucky to survive 3 hits.

Wasnt until the end game where i really invested in vig as i was happy with everything else.

But yea the game provided a great challenge throughout, just defeated the last main boss that ive been stuck on which was dragon lord placidux, that every major boss done and dusted 🤙

If you're overleveled, that also takes a lot of the fun and challenge out of the game.

Because it's Nintendo. Post negative first before analizing.

Because this is the ONLY version you can buy on the S2, correct? I don't think you can buy just the game for $60 like the other platforms. And if I'm wrong about this, then I take it back.

@repsahj - Dude, shut up. I like Nintendo a lot, actually. I just want the option to get the base game for $60 WITHOUT the DLC. I've done plenty of "analyzing".

This $80 version is also available on PS5 and XSX.

@repsahj

The ps5 has the standard version and the 80$ version so it gives you the choice...on switch 2 physical you can only buy the 80 dollar version.

I guess since they got the data that less than half of elden ring players beat the game and would probably not buy the DLC, they decided to just not make it an option and charge more...
