No game this difficult should ever win game of the year.

[Hot Dog Master]

When people think game of year, they think best game for everyone. Elden Ring is too hard for many, me included. Games like this only gate keep. A game should be beatable by everyone to even be nominated for game of the year. Elden Ring has no easy difficulty, so it should be removed from game of the year awards.


This needs to stop :(

Look at there profile. Unless they've finally made it private you can see which game awards they have unlocked. Radahn, Godrick etc are all showing as achieved. Plus I find it unlikely anyone who has so much time put into other sous games would find


Easy, I went onto there profile to see what achievements thay hasd unlocked in theer 300 hour playtime. Turns out they have around 83% of the achievements completed for Elden Ring. They've beaton many, many bosses. They also have multiple hundreds of hours in other souls games meaning the 'tutorial boss' would be a walk through for them. Basically, unless they've finally made there profile private everyone here can see for themselves.

Ok, well dont under estimate how bad the average player is :^).
But ye, if they have the achievement then top kek

I agree, the average player isn't great lol.
That said this OP has multiple hundreds of hours in each of the Dark Souls games with many achievements unlocked. They have around 298 hours in Elden Ring with 83% of achievements obtained and many of the bosses beaten.
I only looked at there profile to see if they were being honest because 300 hours for the first boss seemed off to me and I was curious.

Easily done lol.

All of you are dumb af for falling for this, he literally has 300 hours in the game and gave it a positive review.

[WhiteMamba]

The best game doesnt mean its for everyone. If you design something and try to please every single person and his stupid needs you end up sacrificing most of what you really would like to design and creating an average game.

The game awards made me realize how very few good games exist. ER and GoW are awesome, the rest is quite crap.

I mean all they where saying is they think the game is to hard to win goty, all they I think theyre lying about them saying its too hard for them. Unless it took them 300 hours to beat the game once lol. but they could be farming for awards there has been a lot of that since the game won goty

[IchigoMait]

Dude there are much harder games than this, this is a cakewalk compared to them.

i have seen a guy who cant even controll his hands properly beat this game, i don't know what your excuse is

I would also be godlike at Elden Ring if I would have that much free time. Unfortunately some people have jobs and can't sit in front of the TV all day.

Also DS1 and 2 are easier than Elden Ring, no spammy infinite-stamina bosses there.

Job has nothing to do with it, unless you work like 16 hour shifts 7 days a week. People can be good with out playing much. Plus many of us work full time... Tiss just a lame excuse.

This logic is flawed. A game simply cannot be the best for everyone.
Also, if a game is beatable by everyone, what will it look like, Or asked differently, Who do you exclude from everyone?

People also have families that require attention from time to time, you know. Also, what's the usefulness of learning every move of a boss in a videogame? How would that be applicable to anything else?

All those challenge runs are useless in any other game. Learning a no-hit run in Elden Ring won't make you any better at Doom Eternal. You'll have to learn every game anew, which is a huge waste of time.

i play this game as i've played bloodborne, grind easy mobs and level up till you begin dying in eight hits instead of three and oneshot everything.

Too bad leveling up means almost nothing in this game. Even at max level beginning mobs can still kill you quite easily. All you stats come from the gear

Didnt say anything about learning everything. Just saying "I work full time" is a lame excuse for not being decent at something. Anyways if its a waste of time, wtf are you doing talking in steam discussions? Plus even if you have a family theres always free time, choose with that what you will. NOt here to say play games, just saying thats a dumb excuse. youd not be here talking if you didnt like wasting your time. Nor would you be playing a like at the very least 40 hour game that can be hard at times. So clearly you have the time to play.

get better loser

I'm not a loser :lunar2019deadpanpig:

Technically you are acting like one. You're shifting the blame of you being unable to do it onto something else. The game's not for you and that's fine. You prefer more casual games like Ragnarok, to each their own. But to come into the forums for the game and cry about it then you expect people to cup your balls and tell you everything will be okay while stroking your hair is total loser behavior.

I'll extend an olive branch though and say that even as a series veteran and someone who has beat Elden Ring itself on at least 15 different characters so far, the dual boss battles are completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, even with Spirit Summons. And don't even get me started on human cooperators. Most of them never even bother to invest stat points into health so they get one shot the moment the fight starts rendering themselves completely useless.
