What can I say about this game? I can say, that if you want to do a blind playthrough, don't read further since I will tell a lot of spoilers. The second thing I want to say is, everybody think Kojima is genius, but the real genius is Hidetaka Miyazaki.

Spoilers start here.

Miyazaki once again showed why he is the true genius, the last of the dying breed, the one and only bastion of TRUE gamers. Darks Souls 1 was about depression, Dark Souls 3 was a manifest on making sequels to the games, Sekiro was about cool weeabo stuff, BB was about cool lovecraftian stuff, so what about Elden Ring?

Women. Elden Ring is all about women, to be more presice, how women are the root of all the evil in the world, and to a lesser exten trans, but mostly women. The based sigma chad Miyazaki hid the most based subtext of them all in his game. Judge for yousrself. Every women in the game commits nothing but evil. There are a couple of exceptions, but we will discuss it later on.

Marika is a fucking whore. Not only she whored around, she literally destroyed everything good in this world. Poor Godfrey was used like a fucking rag and then thrown away. Not only she is a crazy whore that can only think about success in life, she is also a non-binary trans person, cause she is Radagon, Marika is actually they. Which leads use to the first important lesson of the game. Don't stick your dick in crazy.

If you are not convinced, here is the list of everything bad she did. She massacred a whole nation. She betrayed her son and left him rotting in what can be considered to be a prison after promising him a good lawyer. She fucked a man, but as soon as that man lost his chance for a promotion, she ditched him. She broke a loving family, ruining their, and their children lives when she came out as trans. Not to mention how she destroyed the land, betrayed her half-brother(another male btw) and made him suffer. If you still think women are not evil, wait for more.

Ranni is a fucking sociopathic bitch. She starts the downfall of the good times! Alone! Not only that, her actions lead to death of MULTIPLE MEN who wanted her to be happy. She is atrocious. She doesn't help anyone, and only bring pain and suffering into the life of everyone. Not only that, her ending is about a CHILL night. This is a metaphor that the bitch will leave us the moment she gets what she wants. Terrible human being.

Hyetta is batshit crazy and insane, a fucking cannibal, same as Tanith. Fia kills not one, but two men, and the crazy bitch wants an already dead man, Godwyn, to suffer simply because he wasn't simping for her. Millicent dies after mingling with a bad company instead of listening to her adoptive father, and breaks his heart, and Melina...

Melina is a nothing burger. I guess she is one of the few exceptions, though, I would still argue she is a bitch. She misleads us with constantly touching us, gifting us a horse, and at the end she kills herself. Why? Cause she wants it. So she tries to make us fall in love with her to break our heart. Kinda bitchy, don't you agree?

Nepheli Loux is a good female character, and a proper role model. She listens to her father, and instead of bitching and trying to fight for some ephemereal happinnes in a good businessmen, or trying to girlboss her way, she embraces her position of a housekeeper. Good ending.

Roderika is looking after her adoptive father till the end. Again, good virtuous maiden.

Back to bad ones. Real bad one. Malenia. This is some next level of bitchery. She didn't just ruin one person, she didn't just ruin two. She ruined her brother(cause she has a brother complex) and her stepbrother. Poor Miquella just wanted a fatherly figure in his life, he wanted to chill with the only masculine figure in his life, Radahn. And by the way, Radahn came from a family of MOTHER and FATHER, that's why he is the goat. Anyway, she fucking kills Radahn, not physically, but you know. And by the way, to defeat him she cheated. ANother fucking girlboss that is both empowered and a victim. The moment she started losing to Radahn she screamed, "I'm being opressed and violated" and well, you know that your reputation is in shambles after that, and you can't recover from it. That's what I meant by killing Radahn.

So now that she killed the only manly figure in the life of her poor femboy brother who wants to get swole, what does she do? Let's a creepy pedo kidnap him! What a good fucking woman she is. Ptui.

Lastly, why do you think the game is about fingers. Sure, it's about "ring" but there are so many fingers. Our advisors are TWO fingers. If you can't figure out why two fingers are connected to women, I don't know. Watch some porn. Also, there are three fingers, they are a lot cooler, and strogner, but I would say Miyazaki is compensating. C'mon, he is Japanese.

He is a genius, ER is deservedly a GOTY. Fr, fr, no cap.

And now that you've finished this bullshit and on the verge of blocking me, I will say the following. This was a satire. A joke. I took a bunch of offensive shit and turned it into absurdity. The fact all of it applies to the game if you omit this or that is honestly really funny. This is how all those fan theories work. You omit everything that doesn't suit your narrative or downplay it. You only use what benefits your part.

Here is part with my real thoughs on ER. ER is borderline a bad game. It's this close to being a bad game, and it is absurd how it earned GOTY. I wanted to write what is wrong with the game, mention bad parts, and so on. Yet the dissapointment I feel towards this game and FromSoftware is so much, that the only way to cope with it is to write that joke above. ER is definetely the worst game Miyazaki has ever made, by far. I won't buy DLC. I was a fan of FromSoftware since 2012, today they lost a fan, and a customer. I am sad. :blob_pat_sad:

You are better than me. I got the game, went up to make friends with a guy in armor on a horse, then he turned around came at me and I died in one shot.

Luckily, I didn't play the game enough to not be able to refund it.

I tried watching Elden Ring and seriously considered buying it for a while, but never saw what's so great about it. For fans of the genre it might be amazing, but for me it's good at best moments and atrociously bad at worst.

I think the reason why people don't really talk about the themes and characters in Elden Ring, despite the fairly clear division between genders and if I remember correctly two really important transgender characters, is because no one's trying to rub those things in. They are there as part of the story, and nothing more. They're not advertised, showcased, emphasized, or otherwise brought to consumer's attention (at least not nearly as much as in many other games) and very few people that care will actually put in the effort to see the story and look for some deeper meaning.

The fact I have two friends with ER made me push through it.

I don't care about trans, bi, homo, lesbians, etc. If this was my main problem with a game, man, I would've been a happy man.

I enjoyed elden ring as a game lots of fun builds you can do but man I checked out story wise. I've played through the entire thing 6 times I still have no fucking clue what's going on
Open world is always the death of a franchise.
Not true. Metal gear solid Five was great.

What'd you like about the early souls stuff?
Lore and story, music, gameplay, art design, balancing, difficulty, etc. Most importantly, how all of it is combined and works together. The example of it working together. In DS1, despite the lore being obscure and the game being without "story," it is crystal clear for me why our character revives all the time. When I play ER, I don't understand the lore behind our constant ressurections. The lore and gameplay doesn't work together, at least for me. I am not in the mood for arguing about ER, so just assume it's all me if you want to "defend" the game.

The only soulborne games I ever played was Sekiro and Bloodborne. Sekiro is pretty easy once you get the hang of it, it only took me two days to get used to the mechanics. Bloodborne I got access to due to my friend, it's fun and I like the eldritch aesthetic but the map is a fuck maze and a half.

Also, fuck the Orphan of Kos, you and your mother deserve all the worst.

I wish I could play BB. Sekiro doesn't interest me one bit.

Ranni did NOT cause the deaths of iji and blaidd. Iji was killed by assassins, and Blaidd was literally programmed to be hostile towards ranni if she stepped to far out of line. He was a mercy kill by the player because he had gone insane. Seluvis was just straight up elden ring's Jeffrey Epstein so he deserved what he got.
Also some dialogue about ranni's ending was mistranslated to make it sound bad when it's actually good, she's keeping the chill night far away, not bringing it.
Also, I refuse to hear malenia slander. Her lore is beyond tragic and almost none of it is her fault.
When I play ER, I don't understand the lore behind our constant ressurections.
Marika's grace. You start off dead in the beginning but the guidance of grace brings you back to life. Same with the other tarnished in the opening cutscene.

Nah, you were actually right about everything you said. Nothing satirical about it. Women do ruin most things when they get involved.

Also, while I know she's off in the head, gotta say I'm still for Ranni.

The final boss of the DLC cemented Elden Ring Lore as nothing but a massive disappointment. It makes sense, but that doesn't mean it doesn't still suck ass.

Love the game to pieces, then again, I’ve never played the other souls games so I don’t know if it’s bad compared to the others.

You reminded me of a recent post or CN-author, that also mentioned this "knight on horse at beginning"

Well, to do an analogy, its like Pokemon Later generations and wondering if earlier ones are good.
