Have you played Elden Ring as much as Elden Ring movie director and hardcore gamer Alex Garland?

>>713098693 (OP)
>It's not that you get better
He hasn't done even a single playthrough, much less 6 of em

I will say this, people who have no experience with games to the point they lack the basic coordination necessary to even press the correct buttons in time with the game or control a camera using a stick get my respect for trying.
I can't imagine what it must be like for someone who didn't grow up around games to have to learn this shit, especially for their job.

Nice, more feminist garbage.

Does anyone have this guys contact I need to know if he’s using summons

>>713098693 (OP)
It's gonna be shit isn't it

Nobody on their seventh playthrough is going to speak in such out of touch boomer terms.

>>713098693 (OP)
I mean he isn't wrong. He's basically saying learning attack patterns and enemy placement is more important than "skill". It's like a puzzle.

>>713100294
He's not saying that, he's saying you need to keep trying to brute force it until RNG favours you, the typewriting monkeys never learned how to write

>>713098989
>I can't imagine what it must be like for someone who didn't grow up around games to have to learn this shit, especially for their job.
thats the thing anon, he knows how to play games. 28 days later is his Resident Evil

I don't give a shit about this and I shan't be watching this movie but I guess respect for at least trying to understand what the game is about by actually playing it

>>713098693 (OP)
lmao

>>713100294
When I started the game I couldn't parry even the basic soldier enemies. Now I can parry Malenia so consistently the only moves of hers that are a threat to me are the ones that can't be parried. That's called getting better.

>>713099330

>>713100770

why the fuck do they keep letting westoids ruin their IPs

>>713098693 (OP)
Bosses in FS games are also a bit random. Sometimes they passive, sometimes they agressive as fuck. Sometimes they'll make two-hit combo, sometimes they decided to add a third one and also chain it with their even more dangerous attack. So he isn't so wrong, but he's still a noob if the insist on just trying instead of learning.

>>713098693 (OP)
That suggest that you have no fucking clue what you are doing and are just throwing dozens of writers at it until something sounds good.
That's a terrible way to make anything. That's the same way triple A developers do things. Throw countless jeets at the problem until you get something that technically runs and call it a day. The antithesis of how From Software makes games.
You just announced to the entire world that your movie has no chance of being anything other than complete and utter dogshit.

Wait. This is the faggot who supervised the story for Enslaved and DmC. The movie was doomed the second his name was attached.

I really want to know who actually thinks an Elden Ring movie is a good idea. I'm also going to assume this is fake.

>>713098865
Yeah I feel his definition of playthrough needs clarity

cinemas should sell fecal scent spray popcorn for extra immersion

>>713101814
I hate parrying bosses in these games because it's like only 1/3 of a parry you don't even get a riposte

The dude is lying straight up, I'd expect no less from a hollyjew. Nobody who's played through Elden Ring even 1 time would say such bullcrap. Reminds me of a pathological liar I once knew.

>>713103489
Remember how Elon Mask played Eldein Ring with shittiest build ever and still enoyed it? This could the case for that director.

>>713098693 (OP)
I understand not naming a specific weapon but he doesn't even say "greatswords", or "straight swords", or "curved swords" he just says "a cool sword"

>>713101889
That was the best part of the fight though. The rest of the bosses were clearly made for 1v1ing, but Radahn was the exception

>>713100294
It's not even that, try enough times eventually you get lucky.

On my try when I beat Malenia she just rng spammed a couple super easy to dodge moves and the scarlett blossom (which was also easy to dodge), and I killed her easily. If she spammed waterfowl or the hay afterimage attack I would have been stuck for much longer.

>>713098693 (OP)
>It's not that you get better,
>you just keep doing it, and eventually, one day they're dead

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT GETTING BETTER IS, YOU GIANT RETARD

You draw/code/design shit each day, for 5 or 10 years, and after that people start calling your shit good, and paying for it.

>>713101889
it seems like hes probably talking about the first radhan fight here and not the final one in the dlc.

>>713101889
>post-nerf radahn
you didn't beat the game

>>713098693 (OP)
Well... At least he's playing it. Unlike most adaptation's directors

>>713104689
I'll believe that when he streams himself playing

>>713104689
Why do you believe him?

>>713103713
You mean the ketamine addict scammer who pays other people to play his games like a cuck and apologizes to orange satanic rapists? Yep, I can see that.

>>713098693 (OP)
He's 55 years old
He has not done 7 playthroughs of Elden Ring. The man does not know what the word playthrough means
He has probably died and respawned at a bonfire 7 times
This idea of respawning is novel to him, because he does not know what a videogame is

>>713105440
he hasn't even read Berserk, not a single page.

>>713105495
An enviable existence

>>713101889

>>713104895
If you assume "playtrough" means "starting a new character"
Its not that hard.

That said, I also have a hard time thinking they are actually going to try to poke at any of the harder bits of adapting ER.
Even the manga went for a more comedy into adventure vibe to get it going

>>713098693 (OP)
I never got any juice.

>>713105604
the Manga is the origin story of let me solo her which is a unique and fun concept

>>713100396
He’s phrasing it obtusely to get the point across to people with no experience. It’s a combination of RNG, skill and pattern recognition, and his point is that very few modern form bosses require skill of those three factors.

I refuse to believe that on their first encounter even 5% of people knew they had to jump rellanas double dunk, or that Radahn would meteor (twice) or that Malenias phase 2 butterfly attack literally directs your attention away from one of the ghosts so it can hit you. It killed them, then they knew better for next time.

>>713105239
Trump is indefensible, so is Biden, and pretty much like everyone who has power in the US. They all went to Epstein's island to rape, torture, and kill kids while praying to their lord Satan. The billionaires have so much evil voodoo on their hands they are guaranteed hellfire in the afterlife.

>>713105932
There is no hell. If you feel so strongly about it go make them suffer while they still can instead of sitting on your laurels.

>>713104593
>played with a controller
you didnt beat the game

>>713098693 (OP)
You cant convince me these guys are actually playing this.
One of the actors is like "I was playing demons souls or dark souls 3 and theres like, a guy who throws lightning down at you" describing the nameless fucking king.....

>>713105932
Trump is indefensible, but you don't need to say deranged shit about him like he's "satanic". There's plenty of actually shit he's actually done that you can drag him through the mud over.

>>713105932
The sad truth is people diddle kids because the human mind is fucked up. A supernatural personification of all the world's evil isn't needed to explain this. Humans are just evil naturally.

>>713098693 (OP)
>That was the technique I learned with Dark Souls. It's not that you get better, it's more like monkeys and typewriters—you just keep doing it, and eventually, one day they're dead
Holy shit, I knew he was a brainlet but I didn't think it was this bad.
If that's what he got from Dark Souls then he's retarded. The game is clearly designed to teach you about learning from your mistakes so you can do better and succeed.
Now we know without a doubt the movie is going to be dogshit.
>>713099280
I think so.

What do you even use as scenario for an Elden Ring movie anyway? The tarnished is bumbling retard going from point a to b and killing stuff on the way with little motivation.

>>713108869
>What do you even use as scenario for an Elden Ring movie anyway?
Three hours of Marika having her thighs caressed by Godfrey

>>713108869
The Tarnished is ultra motivated.
Aside from that, the most intelligent thing to do would be to cover the Night of the Black Knives events.

>>713108869
Jack Black walking up to Margit and saying 'Hah, this guy doesn't look so tough!' and it smash cuts a montage of him losing 20 times.

>>713103161
That's kind of the point, otherwise it would be like Gwyn and everybody parriable would be a pushover

>>713108869
What better setting for a movie about a "post-apocalyptic" game setting than during the point where everything went to shit? Show off Marika's kids fighting for control, highlight the fight between Radahn and Malenia, have the Shattering take place near the end. Make it a ninety minute prelude/trailer for the game.

>>713098693 (OP)
>Elden Ring Movie
lmao why

Between Elden Ring, Armored Core, Sekiro and Bloodborne, ER is easily the worst one for a movie adaption.

>>713098693 (OP)
That movie director is probably desperate to make any sense out of that story, because you can't just kill off a side character in a movie by having the MC tumble over her corpse.

It's nice he's at least saying he's played the game and not proudly announcing he didn't even know it was a video game and would never even think of playing it while directing an adaption of it.

Not like every single other fucking adaptation.

>>713108869
>>713109514
the gameplay has literally nothing to do with the story of Elden Ring, so i agree that if he bases the movie out of gameplay it's going to be a stinker

Ranni, Rykard & Radahn's assasination of Godwyn and the shattering is kino tier, but i don't think they'll touch that at all.

>>713098693 (OP)
>I've levelled up, I've got lots of juice, and a cool sword
this guy definitely plays video games

That civil was movie was fucking terrible. Why did they pick this faggot for Elden ring?

>>713111769
He also did some military slop recently that was even more forgettable

i am guessing that FROM software doesn't have any choice in this matter, it's all bandai or whoever owns ER

>>713112421

From 100% owns the IP. Any deal they make with the film studio goes through them, including approving directors, supervisors etc.

>>713098693 (OP)
He's been a souls fan for years. He spoke about it when Devs came out ages ago, there was even a scene with a character playing the game, and he used it to foreshadow what was going to happen with the character.

>>713099330
>oh no he's using a feature of the game? what a loser! ha ha!

I hate boomer retards clinging onto FOMO zoomerslop like this. How the hell did it happen? I hope he gets bullied to not make this slop.

>I-I'm on my seventh playthrough guys. T-trust me.
Why do people have to lie about playing video games like this? I'd respect you a little more if you were honest. At least if you are going to claim such things, do a stream to flex about it so we can see that you aren't a bold face liar.

>>713116224
He admitted to being too retarded for RE series and feels resentment against it since Capcom didn't hand him the license to direct. Bandai doesn't care and would handle the IP to any hobo on the street for a meme movie.

I wish soulsfags had the autistic spine to tell him off. What a pathetic poser and an ancient retard at that who lies like a jew.

>>713098693 (OP)
This guy said Malenia, like every other person who is a shitter at this game, is the hardest boss in the game. Waterfowl dance is so bullshit to normies that anyone who doesn't learn the cheese strat or shield wall her thinks shes the hardest boss ever conceived and I cannot take anyone seriously who has this opinion so this movie is going to suck shit

>>713117623
>cheese strat
do you realize how retarded you sound.
>hurrdurr, Malenia is the easiest boss in the game, just summon redditman

>>713099094
kek

>>713117783
>no mention of summons
Cheese start is rolling into her to cancel out her momentum so her AI bugs out and the second set of attacks basically miss you completely

>>713099330
>He’s not a no-lifer who thinks playing rollslop “the right way” is a suitable substitute for a personality, what a fag

>>713118030
if you cheesed her you didn't beat her,
as shrimple as that

Who told unc to play my third re run of Elden Ring on my PS5? That shit cringe ong frfr :dead rose emoji:

>>713118272
not the players fault devs made a broken ability that bugs out by simply rolling towards the boss, she doesn't even 180 turn around to slash at you which she should do. Broken ability, broken boss, not hard

I highly doubt this old bag of bones he played any souls gmes and is just saying this to get George RR Fartin to notice him.

>>713099330
Kek

>>713101889
hahahahaha

>>713101814
Malenia is easier to parry than half the early enemies in the game because her swings are smooth and clear and you can learn the timing eventually.
All those fucking Godrick rejects have a totally irrational swing pattern and timing that is pointless to learn and will just lead to you getting killed as you try and do it.

He also claimed to be a fan of Dark Souls years ago.
