Elden Ring Is Just A Video Game

This game somehow changed me as a person. I will never stop searching for the feeling I got when I first played this.

Can't help but wonder, and imagine, how they were all like as children. The demigods. Especially during the Morgott scene. Perhaps because Morgott state their names so warmly before calling them traitors. Followed by a perfect cut to a lonely Malenia!

Elden Ring's story is so depressing, but there is somehow beauty on it, it is also really depressing to see how the demigods decayed so much, Miquella is in a coccon, General Radahn lost his mind to the scarlet rot, Morgott fights for a kingdom that despises him, and he also despises his own existence, Mohg decided to abandon his own brother and just accept that he'd be always a monster, so unlike Morgott he rejected the Erdtree, Malenia awaits for Miquella's return, even tho we know well that it is very unlikely that he'll return with a cure for the scarlet rot on Malenia (DLC may change this), Rykard, once a great man, became the Lord of Blasphemy, Godfrey was such a respected Elden Lord, only to be banned from the Lands Between and lose the grace on him, and also having to see his son to die on his arms, Godrick... Godrick was always a coward, but things could've been different for him if Godwyn didn't get murdered, Rennala seems to be very depressed, Marika is trapped inside the Erdtree, the Greater Will is ashamed of her acts, and you, the tarnished, also decays, you become Elden Lord at the usual ending, but once you revisit some places and think about it, you realize that you've lost everyone who was there for you in the very beginning of your own journey, you realise that mainly on the roundtable hold, where everyone goes missing after some time... Some following their own journey, and others having their journey coming to an end. With that, you, tarnished, usually asks yourself if following the flame of ambition and becoming Elden Lord is really worth it, which, sure is since you're the hope of the Lands Between, but what about you? What is left for you? Once you think about it, you will realise that you may be Elden Lord, but in reality, you were always, and always will be... A tarnished. Motivated by the flame of ambition, in search of the Elden Ring.

I remember last month when I finally beat Elden ring and malenia. I felt empty for days every game I tried to play was boring and uninteresting to me. Then I saw this video at 2 am one night and I understood that I just didn’t play a game I lived in it, I felt it, I called it home. I’m 37, trust me I have played countless games this was my first soul ever and I’ll never forget it. It was a gaming journey, the path of cross I needed to take to be complete as a player.

This game was such an emotional journey, I cried and laughed. I raged and I conquered. I don't think I'll ever forget the friends or enemy's I met a long the way to becoming the new elden Lord. I am happy that I was able to experience this masterpiece in my life time.

Elden ring has pushed the limits and boundaries to how enjoyable and expressive video games can be

Ranni is one of the most exquisitely written and portrayed video game characters of all time, and does so with very little screentime.

Elden Ring, like Ocarina of Time, Halo, Skyrim, and a few others, is one of those games that come along once, maybe twice, a decade or so, and remind you what video games are truly capable of, and makes you fall back in love with them all over again. A truly bright shining star in the lake of rot that is the current video game industry.

The greatest game in history. I’m just glad I got to be apart of it.

Best journey I have taken. One of the best games I have ever played.

Truly the best game in my 38 years of gaming.... So happy for the DLC this JUNE

"It's just a game" also them after letting Melina die: no, i will not let you die, i will brave the frenzied flame if i must so long as i can save you you my dearest friend

Well done. It’s difficult to draw out emotion from the viewer with a game that doesn’t tend to have long and expansive cut scenes that flesh out the story and characters but you’ve done a great job with what has been provided. The only character, aside from our trusty steed, to whom I felt connected was Melina… with an appreciation for Radahn’s love of Leonard. Top notch work.

I had tears in my eyes...from Demon's Souls over a decade ago to this year's Elden Ring...From Soft has indeed gone a looong way. Thanks for putting this amazing tribute🙏🏼❤️. From Soft and Miyazaki forever and ever.

We didn't play a game. We didn't play a character. We didn't sit there controlling some program... we became warriors. We became the Tarnished. We slew demi-gods. Destroyed an Age. Forged a new one. We lived a story that can't ever be countered. Can't be taken from us. Can't be overshadowed by time. We laughed and cried. Felt the pain and excitement. And in the end... we lived in one of the best worlds that fiction has ever produced.

I am always searching for games like Elden Ring… there are none. Just the awe of seeing those sunsets , hills, snow and Torrent… every new area more beautiful than the next. I’ll never fall in love again (and I must say I played FF for seven years)

I'm not a gamer at all, my partner bought me an xbox for xmas and I picked Elden Ring as my 1st game with no expectations. What an emotional rollercoaster this was! I died a thousand times but persevered until I finished the game yesterday... 116 hours in the Lands Between. The feeling of accomplishment was incomparable. I've grown so attached to this realm now I feel so empty inside that it's finished lol. I know that I'm alone in this feeling. I'm not sure if I will ever find the other game fun again. Anyway, your edit made me so emotional and nostalgic. Thank you so the wonderful experience ❤️

This is a perfect swan song for those who at least made it to that New Game+, great mashup and already gives me a nostalgic feel even though I'm still currently active in the game...lol..

I had finished the game about 3 months back. I've never been so much invested in any video games as much as in this one. My youtube recommendations were full of build guides and quest guides. I quit the game 4 times, started Again, I raged at every boss, and I conquered. The journey was full of emotions and thrills. I will never find the same feeling ever from any other video games.

I raged quit and gave up on the game after struggling to beat tree sentinel for 4 hours. I later came back and approached things differently and it was such an amazing experience. Struggling to beat Malenia for 12 hours, epically dodging and punishing malikeths and godfreys attacks as the ost roars in my ears, becoming attached to blaid, melina, rani, and alexander. I have now beat this game fresh 3 times and can’t get enough. Can’t wait for the DLC💛
