Isn't he a mindless zombie basically
how is it character assassination

Too bad the devs pussied out and nerfed him

>>715153565
DS3 is garbage, soulless cashgrab

>>715152391 (OP)
Elden ring was well received largely as babby's first souls game, people who played through fromsofts earlier catalogue knew well into the base game's release that it's bloated open world slop. I have roughly 300 hours on two characters, didnt care to finish the game once and never even thought about bothering with the dlc.

>>715152645
Once you've been here long enough, you see the cycle. Newer users have a shorter attention span, thus the cycle is shorter, along with the increase in straight up shill engagement farming. Sadly, this site, in its current state is still more satisfying than say bReddit or the Steam Forums, or Twitter. Its all junk food, but this is the only social media website you can get away with most things and have no ID attached like what politicians are trying to spread hard now.

You get the idea its obvious they're gonna milk elden ring like they did dark souls.
>but nintendo game!
The shit they cobbled together in at most 2-3 years? They're gonna polish nightreign assets and sell them to you for 80 bones

I didn't play the DLC. what did they do to him?

>>715152391 (OP)
nortubel > elden stink

>>715154165
DeS is elden ring 2 and DS3 is the elden ring prequel

>>715152391 (OP)
Accepted? It was so retarded everyone assumed it was fake.

>>715154165
Let them do whatever they want as long as Sekiro 2 and more Armored Core is on the menu.

>>715154181
after 2 years and 40€ they turned Radahn into a reskinned DS3 prince boss and you get his swords again but worse

I don't give a shit about the lore. The fight was ugly, extremely dull mechanically, rehashed concept from a vastly superior DS3 boss and for some reason had very bad animations compared to the rest of the bosses. A huge stain on the DLC.
It gets especially funny when you compare him with a cool ass motherfucker a bunch of noname gooks conjured in their basement.

>>715154181
Story wise it turned into some weirdo ass gay incest story. Gameplay wise it's literally an inferior Twin Princes fight with Radahn's main second phase combo directly taken from Pontiff Sillyman. It reeks of rushed content all around, especially in the gameplay aspects.

>>715152440
BASED.

>>715152391 (OP)
Literally no one liked it. Not the lore. Not the boss fight.

Note how after the game came out, people were way more invested in Messmer or Marika than Miquella. Miquella ended up being a very nothing character.

>>715154302
I don't particularly want those games, I would definitely want more medieval castle or futuristic robotics Elden Ring, but its very clear Fromsoft is burnt out on Dark Souls-likes and wants to do something else. I don't want a smoldering flame to keep sputtering out half assed DLC. The age of dark must take place. they need to work on something else. Sekiro or whatever, as long as they take a step away top come back someday refreshed. Like little embers dancing far off.

If Malenia 2 had walked out of that gate it would have been the hardest shitter-shattering of all time.

>>715152391 (OP)
Missed opportunity to not use Godwyn, the most hyped up demigod in the lore as a boss.
Like prime Radahn is cool and all but damn...

It was kino of the highest order but people aren't ready to accept that yet.

>>715152391 (OP)
Radahn was clearly inspired by Alexander the Great and Alexander was a known enjoyer of bussy.

>>715152391 (OP)
>>715152645
I don't think I've seen anyone say it wasn't retarded, at least here.

>>715152391 (OP)
I still don't accept it.
This is non-canon.

Radahn was a fucking stupid character to begin with.
Dumb fucking retard midget horse completely ruined his aesthetics.

Fuck any retard that disagrees. "oh muh wholesome chungus kino horse fren"
FUCK OFF IT'S RETARDED
YOU DESERVE TO HAVE YOUR CHARACTER RAPED FOR DEFENDING THAT STUPID HORSE

>>715156323
>Dumb fucking retard midget horse completely ruined his aesthetics.
This is absolutely true.

>>715156323
So true sister

>>715152645
I thought it was dumb before the release and still did after. It came out of nowhere and there must have been a better way for from to finish Miq's story.

>>715156323
>i want every enemy ever to look like artorias

>>715152391 (OP)
Melania and Miquella are the worst characters in the game and actively drag down anyone associated with them. God Elden Ring's story is dogshit.

>>715153778
>I have roughly 300 hours on two characters, didnt care to finish the game once

This is genuinely deranged

Godwyn died before the shattering. He is never coming back. Give it up.

>>715155803
You're walking proof only absolute retards use the term "kino"

>>715156554
Never said that, faggot.
Radahn is nothing like that lanky bitch.
Fucking worthless horsefucker retard.

>>715152391 (OP)

Can you please explain Elden Ring's story?

>Implying that a woman wouldn't adore the cute wittle wholesome chungus horse fren

>>715156619
Go fuck yourself.

>>715152391 (OP)
The idea that two bosses you defeat in the base game get dragged away off screen and are fused together in order to become the final boss of the DLC is so... Weird for a fromsoft game.
It's the kind of bullshit you'd expect to see in a Miura game

>>715156787
Well, they shitted out a shitty story and "plot twist" with miquello and rodahn, they certainly could shit out another bullshit story and plot twist but try to make it cool this time.

>>715156787
the Tarnished died before the shattering, there are Tarneshid that could have been dead for thousands of years before Marika called them back
the DLC is full of scraped content, Scadutree Avatar is clearly the Mermaid Godwyn boss, the Scadutreenwas clearly supposed to be Deathroot
I'm pretty sure Myazaki ruined everything
the DLC was supposed to be a dreamscape of death where St Tryna guides you
>BUT MUH GODWYN SOUL WAS KILLED
Destined Death is Natural Death, Godwyn's Soul wasn't destroyed, he was cut from the Cycle of the Erdtree
in the base game you have many different afterlives, Deathrite Birds, Regal Spirit, etc
Death and Dreams are connected proven by Fortissax and Rogier

>>715156787
>died
Uhmmmmmmmm

>>715152645
that /v/ person sounds like a fucking idiot

>>715156984
A bunch of gods fight.
You kill them.
Nothing is resolved.
The end.

It's dogshit. Genuinely one of the worst stories of the past 25 years.
Fromsoft's quest design is also the worst EVER IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY.
>NPC teleports around during loading screens
>Their quest consists of collecting an item and returning it to them or a different location
>If you're fucking lucky you might get a hint as to where they teleport but usually you need a guide
>Vague nonsense for the plot every time
>That's it. Every quest is identical to this exact structure

Fromsoft is easily the most overrated developer in history.

>>715156918
people still talk about Veilguard

>>715157353
and?

>>715157074
>>715157110

>>715157441

all the Tarnished in the intro were dead besides Fia

>>715152391 (OP)
A lot of you morons bought up Vaati's Miquella headcanon now you're realizing you're not the majority of the population.
I knew Miquella was evil the moment I learned he mind controls people.

The question of "Why was Malenia in Caelid" flew over all your heads, it was the biggest unknown in the base game.

>>715157346
genuinely curious btw, usually just kill all the NPC first chance I get. They always drop some loot so I figured it was the right think to do? Didn't feel like there was much story to me, more like oldschool game story that are just kinda there to get you going.

>>715157579
There's a huge gap between
>why was malenia in caelid
and
>GO FUCK MY BROTHER RIGHT NOW
No shit the griffith expy was evil, but it was just shit, because I guess miyazaki wanted a guts.

>>715157503
Fia is a dragon tho, not a tarnished

>>715157453
This is the only way this shit DLC "story" would turn salvageable.
If it was just in the dream of a dying soul (Miquella) like a final delusion and you put an end to it by killing him in his dream.
That's it.

>>715157579
>Miquella was evil
but the DLC makes him good, he even destroys the mind control rune

>>715152645
Sorry the real fans weren't on /v/ before release so we could play BLIND instead of having our opinions clouded by others.

>>715157346
>A bunch of gods fight.
>You kill them.

Killing all the gods is the resolution, it breaks the eternal stalemate they ended up with after the Shattering.

>Kai started using Tuvstarr as the profile pic
Holy shit, meme magic is really real

>>715154075
90h honeymoon phase on first character, then about 20h of pushing further to see if it's really all copy paste and filler, then I dropped the game for a year and a half.

I finally mustered up the will to start another run with the idea being 'I will play thru the entire game and give it an honest shot before calling it irredeemable trash', which lasted another 140 hours. I finally quit around the ice fields leading up to the mountain top of giants because I had about a 20 hour stretch of playtime with literally zero (0) new mobs or bosses.

Apologist faggots will say that you're not supposed to cover everything in one playthrough, to which I will say if the game gets better by skipping content the game is bloated and garbage.

>>715157579
>The question of "Why was Malenia in Caelid" flew over all your heads
Literally this. It was the ONLY thing left to explore outside of greater will cosmic finger shit

>>715157786
Frenzied Flame is the only game things really change
all others are stagnation even Ranni's

>>715152645
If you want to get nitpicky, some variant of this may have been planned since 2022. In the earliest build of the game Radhan was a frenzy cultist, and Miquella was trying to destroy the flame of frenzy. It's why the Sleep and Frenzy icons are variants of each other, because they're opposing forces. So Miquella and Radahn having a relationship of sorts was always in the cards.

>>715157878
bloody bitch benchod I am the contrarian shazam tranny do not redeem what many people consider the greatest game of all time

>>715152391 (OP)
I have no issues with Miquella going full mind control "free will is for pussies" as it is more or less what I've been expecting and what's implied in the lore beforehand. The St. Trina stuff is good.

I am extremely meh about the whole Radahn stuff, but meh, it's just a last boss/puppet of Miquella. ER lore is good except for this, I can swallow it, it's not that important, in term of lore presence or gameplay.

I think it basically kneecapped people's opinion of the DLC, it leaves a sour taste in your mouth and basically guaranteed that I have no interest in playing through it again

>>715158007
fromsoft did a failed attempt at translating their already tired formula to open world. DeS emulated, Ds1, Bloodborne and Sekiro are among my all time favourite games. I don't know who Shazam is supposed to be, trannies deserve the rope, I'm not Indian and while we're at it I might as well denounce the talmud just so you can fuck off.

>>715157897
But people debated over this. Just go with

>>715157964

Here, anons, is what I like calling "being aggressively retarded". Someone who is too stupid to understand a pretty simple game and aggressively attack it instead of admitting they're dumb.

Other words for it are: being a nigger, being a pajeet, being brown, low IQ neighborhoods, shit man read a book.

For some reason ER really, really attracts aggressively retarded anons.

>>715158720
you're just moving goalposts
the conflict with Radahn was always because Radahn was a champion of the Old Order, he was a Godfrey fanboy, Malenia fought Radahn to prevent him from becoming Elden Lord before Miquella achieved his plan with the Halig Tree
DLC Radahn is just reused assets bullshit

>>715158805
There is no argument lil bro you’re a faggot cuck who is going to kill themselves

>>715152391 (OP)
This applies to the whole of the game. There were some parts I liked, but ultimately it was pretty bad. I think if people had been more critical of the game, it would've done From some good.

>>715160823
there's no point
From has literally become reddit/normie mainstream
these people have no critical thinking, they just want to say they played the current thing, even if they don't like it
I bet there are millions of people that finished Elden Ring hating it to say they beat it, but they will never acknowledge the game is bad because then they'd have to self reflect about being consumerist drones

>>715152391 (OP)
I never played the DLC. But I agree it was a poor choice

>>715152391 (OP)
Its just weird for the sake of being weird. I dont remember anyone calling it good, the reactions were just "the fuck?"

it was funny the leak cause everyone hated it and cope it was an elaborate mod leak for trolling

>>715152761
miquella was teased about mourning and trying to resurrect godwynn nothing related for radahn and malenia fighted radahn cause she thought he got miquella and was stopping her for a fight

more like Trannymura ,miyazaki got completely desinterested/ disconnected from elden ring after the dev team forced malenia wear prosthesis boots instead of rotted natural feets

>>715161085
>millions of people that finished Elden Ring hating it

You're way overthinking it. Normies hate things for being too hard for them to understand or use not because of some design flaw. But the core gameplay is so easy a monkey could understand it, the rpg mechanics makes it so no matter how bad you are you can cheese even the hardest fight (ex: mimic tear, comet azur, broken weapon arts spam, etc.) and the open world and co-op is basically a normie wet dream of a 10/10 videogame. Hate is for people who care. The reality is the average person doesn't give a shit, normies just consume and leave, like braindead locusts. And while you're seething they already moved on to the next fotm like expedition 33.
Frankly I don't care, everything ends sooner or later and the Souls series had a decent run with its ups and downs.

>>715161350
i hope miyazaki got curbstomped after duskblood fails and tehy stop their retarded online games trend

>>715157724
Miquella could still charm people, just not on a massive scale anymore. There's no reason why he couldn't still do it after he became a god versus when he was just a demi one.

>>715158892
>Malenia fought Radahn to prevent him from becoming Elden Lord before Miquella achieved his plan with the Halig Tree
Holy fucking headcanon, Malenia holds the title of the undefeated and her army never lost before going to a stalemate with Radahn, whom doesn't have either title for himself or his army. He failed to capture Leyndell and probably wouldn't have been able to either way. Miquella didn't aim for the throne of Leyndell. Malenia had no reason to march all the way down to Caelid, use your brain for a second.

>>715162536
How did prime Radahn even lose to Morgott?

>>715162536
you use your brain
Radahn might have failed once but he was amassing an army in Caelid, how long until he was able to take Leyndel?
Miquella didn't want the Leyndell, but if Radahn became Elden Lord do you think he would let Miquella stand or march to the Halig Tree and deal with a competitor?

>>715162536
>Miquella didn't aim for the throne of Leyndell. Malenia had no reason to march all the way down to Caelid, use your brain for a second.
It’s even more apparent if you just look at a map lmao. The haligtree at the top malenia would have to pass by every single other shard holder

>>715152762
which callbacks, ER seems hazy to me, might have to replay it, but the open world discourages me.

>>715152391 (OP)
literally who the fuck cares about the nothingburger lore. Souls characters are like Mad Libs, just pick a name, a role, a betrayal, and a despairing fate. Extra credit when they go all "Zanzibart forgive me". Their made up suffering means practically nothing to the blank slate player character.
