Why ASMONGOLD's quit the game? & Epic Fails: The Soulslike Chronicles

[CrAZYVIC.]

😮 It was obvious that ASMONGOLD couldn't handle the challenge of Lords of the Fallen!

Here, I present to you the melancholic tale of his experiences in Soulslike games

Starting off, I'm a big fan of ASMONGOLD. I've been following him since he did his runs in Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 3.

He's a great streamer and presenter, but he's not a very skilled player when it comes to "soulslike" games.

The only time ASMON completed Dark Souls decently was in DS1, and McconnellRet encouraged him several times not to give up.

In Dark Souls 3, unfortunately, the "Vordt's Hammer" ruined the run. This was because the developers placed a ridiculous amount of Titanite Scales too early in the game. Additionally, ASMON was at a significantly high level, defeating the Abyss Watchers at level 45, whereas an average player would be around level 30.

In Dark Souls 2, he gave up on the two occasions he attempted to play it. He never wanted to invest points in Agility to improve his evasion, despite having a significantly high level.

In Bloodborne, his run was average, with classic over-leveling and an overpowered weapon, which he streamed off-camera.

From here on, ASMON always tries to find the equivalent of "VORDT'S HAMMERS" in the soulslike games he plays to emulate what he did in his Dark Souls 3 run.

The two times he has played DS3-CINDER mod, he used the "Vordt hammer" and maintained a high level, creating two nearly identical runs to the original one.

In Elden Ring, he used the "TREE SENTINEL" weapon, the "GOLDEN HALBERD, "creating another run similar to his original Dark Souls 3 run. Even McconnelRet told him, "Ah, using the Vordt hammer again..."

In Lies of P, he did the exact same thing, using the two-handed sword for 90% of the game and maintaining his classic over-leveling. This is the only time I've seen him at least "trying"

In Lords of the Fallen, he came close to getting the "Vordt hammer" of the game, the "HUSHED SAINT'S HALBERD," but he couldn't obtain it because he didn't know about the underworld vendor, and he couldn't equip it either due to not having 16 points in DEX.

In conclusion, Lords of the Fallen requires gamesense and mental awareness to be able to play it, which ASMON lacks. Furthermore, while Lies of P is more difficult than LoTF, this game is much harder than DS1, DS2, DS3, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring. Only Sekiro and Lies of P are more challenging.

Oh, if you completed Lords of the Fallen with a level above 70, unfortunately, you over-leveled, and your run doesn't count To provide an accurate opinion in terms of difficulty, Additionally, you already have a decade of experience in Soulslike games and even worse if you used an "OP" weapon.

He is just a youtuber. Doesn't stop people from whoreshipping him. People, well most people are simple. If they like it, they like it. If they don't, they don't. Only when they want to force their opinions, you know what is really happening in between their ears... practically nothing.

[ColonelBaker]

A perfect example of expressing opinions like they're facts.

[Mikoto]

Imagine thinking asmon's opinion on anything is good.

The guy cannot even do basic research into anything he says.

[The Ultimate Despair]

Why do we need an Asmongold post on every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game released nowadays?

Funny thing is he quit right before getting the bonk Sword of Skin and Tooth. But I don't blame him, that area of the fire village is cancer, and definitely not made for rushing that fast.

A lot of his frustration prolly, came as well from his unupgraded weapons that he used, specially that spear was not good at all... but that was only one of his complaints.

Actually, the guy did kill the boss to obtain the HUSHED SAINT'S HALBERD, but he didn't know about the underworld vendor and didn't have 16 DEX points. This, for me, is the Balanced Vordt-Hammer of the game, The "Sword of Skin and Tooth" is the second Vordt's Hammer of the game. and if Asmon had used any of these weapons, he wouldn't have quit the game. It's a shame because the chat was telling him, "Wait, your strong weapon will come soon," etc.

Asmongold is cancer and is creating a generation of intellectually deficient kids by overreacting to videos in the most ridiculous ways for views and relevance. He's a parasite that can't create his own content, he only steals from others for views. He doesn't actually care about anything he has an "opinion" on. He wants money and that's it.

Form your own opinions about content and stop being brainwashed by a basement dwelling soyjack who wants nothing more than the all mighty dollar. If he didn't make any money from what he did he would scrap his fans and leave YouTube in a heartbeat.

That is how they make their living. But sadly, there are a lot of over aged kids that don't get it.

I completely agree with you. The Rank 1 is for speedrunners, people with years of experience in that game, who took the time to learn the mechanics thoroughly.

I may be a bit strict because I've read many comments from people who say the game is easy, but when you look at their builds, they use the most overpowered equipment and reach level 200 in their NG+0, essentially turning it into a story mode. They have every right to play that way. My annoyance comes when they complain to the developers, saying, "Your game is easy," etc.

One way to solve the problem of overleveling and turning a Dark Souls game into a story mode is to have enemies scale their level similar to the player's level, as FINAL FANTASY 8 did at the time.

For NG+1, I would like the creators of Lords of the Fallen to add an option for enemies/bosses to level up along with you, increasing their attack, defense, resistances, attack speed, and movement speed. This way, people could do level 500 runs while maintaining an appropriate challenge.

Asmon ignores the mechanics and rushes in "why use fast attack if heavy attack do more damage"? "It is what it is" too stubborn, too slow, has the reaction time of a 65 year old.

When it comes to anything related to Blizzard, I can find value Asmon's judgment, but that is mostly because he is just saying what we already know to be true. Simply put, it's an echo chamber of blizzard hate. However, outside of that realm, it is clear to me that he primarily focuses on farming content. He may have valuable insights and knowledge when it comes to World of Warcraft and isometric top-down aRPGs, but his expertise does not extend to other games. His true skill lies in creating 20-minute reaction videos that simply determine whether something is "good or bad." While sometimes he may miss the mark, it is always entertaining to witness his unwavering commitment to his own opinions, while bashing his fans in chat.

Regarding your opinion, I must say that your credibility was greatly diminished by your final paragraph. What you are discussing seems to be a self-imposed challenge that you are inferring from an unknown source. The beauty of souls-like games is that there is no right or wrong way to play them. Anything can work if you have the necessary skills, which is why we have speed runs, SL1 runes and no-hit runs among other achievements. If someone has successfully completed the game, they have indeed accomplished the task, and it is unfair for you to say otherwise. After all, who are you? Declaring yourself as an Asmon fan does not carry any kind of credibility, in fact it greatly diminishes it.

I believe that perhaps you may lack the mental maturity or awareness to truly understand Asmon's true intentions. His focus is solely on creating content, as you must understand that OTK is a business where members combine their income and distribute it among themselves. Therefore, each member is obligated to stream and produce content daily in order to sustain their income. While I admit that Asmon can be entertaining at times, considering him as an authority or an example of a game's true potential is simply foolish.

Lotf is not a challenging game for those familiar with souls-like games. It effectively achieves its intended purpose, but it suffers from an excessive amount of artificial difficulty. The game features dense mobs, aggressive enemies with unrestricted leashes, spells that possess aim bot-like tracking, and severely limited iframes where they should be more abundant. The saving grace of this game is its visually appealing aesthetic and the opportunity to experience the capabilities of the new U5 engine firsthand. Additionally, it is worth noting that Lotf is the final souls-like game to be released this year, which has been a delight for enthusiasts of this genre. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge that both the new U5 engine and the game itself are not fully utilized and are plagued by technical issues, mechanical flaws, and, as previously mentioned, artificial difficulty.

I will add one thing about your last paragraph.
The original Lords of the Fallen was an extremely flawed game. It tried and was the first to try what it did. But didn't succeed.
This new iteration of the IP, seriously sets the stones for something even greater in the future in my opinion. And it made me believe in the IP.
