Elden ring becomes 1000 times better if you had the nightreign tarnished.

The problem with eldenring is that the enemies are playing sekiro/Bloodborne while your character is shit. In nightreign you have simpler yet more useful resources to deal with enemies, while still being a challenging game. Ultimates and character skills is what's missing in the base game.

Bosses are also less bullshit and have clearer animations, except for the AoE spam, but I can understand this in a 3 players game.

Having quicker movement and wall jumping is also useful. The level system and closed map removes the useless padding vanilla Elden ring has, which is a big open world with nothing on it and grinding the same enemy for the 10th time. And copy pasted dungeons and enemies.

One problem they do have is that the map geometry still sucks and you shouldn't be doing bad platforming in a game clearly not designed for it. Camera and target focus also still suck, and we all know it while fighting drakes and big enemies.

I would personally remove the input lag with rolls and use the new dash system, is 100 times better and I would also remove input buffering but some people like it, it seems.

Over all, I think the Elden ring formula works better this way with nightreign even if it still has flaws and I think that if eldenring had 2 more years of cooking, it would be a great game.

I'm not playing your co-op game, I'm not playing anyone's co-op game, I categorically REFUSE to co-operate with ANYONE.

Yes it's a good game. A lot of matches are fun and only a few are frustrating or disappointing. NR has given me many moments where I burst with laughter, shock or excitement so I know I was having a memorable experience. Currently I am trying to master the uber horse boss with my random queue buddies, he seems to be the most fair out of the 3. Not like uber gaping jaw who is just too chaotic for me haha

>>715159557 (OP)
I agree, wish theyd hurry up and release more nightfarers, skins and bosses both nightlord and from past fromsoft games, they are sitting on a golden goose

>your character is shit.
elden ring is probably the easiest of the series. if you arent using the tools at your disposal, that is your own fault. you have no argument.

Definitely. I had a kind of hard time with ER at first when I was playing it like Dark Souls. But then I started to use weapon arts like Storm Blade, Ice Spear, Flames of the Redmane, etc and realized that you just need a good ashe of war and the game isn't hard. But at the same time, R2 is kind of useless outside of jumping R2 and only really found myself doing regular melee attacks against easy basic enemies. Basically it feels like the game has just out grown old control scheme from Demon Souls but they still try to make it fit which is why you have to take your ash of war off your shield if you want access to your weapon's ash of war instead of just making use of like Triangle + R2 or something.

Sounds like the problem is that you are just shit bro

but nightrein is much harder than eldenslop AND better?

Lore question about Radagon.

So we know st Trina is Miquella’s “adoring other self” and when he abandoned her he abandoned his love. Is radagon also Marika’s love? Or does he represent something else. I always thought he resented Marika, and wanted to be free from her and that’s why he strived to “become complete” as his icon says. But did he actually do it all out of love for her, and becoming complete was like him trying to become her equal?

It puts a different spin on it if the reason Radagon is forcing Marika to stay alive is out of adoration

Nightreign tools are better than vanilla Elden ring. The dimple fact that you have a big damage ultimate and invincibility frames plus ashes of war and character skills allow you to deal with enemies bullshit and comboes easier, and that's a good thing. In Elden ring you have to spectate the enemy combo cutscene unless you have specific ashes of war. Many things in base Elden ring are time wasters and padding and difficulty just for the sake of it. Nightreign does it better.

Of course using summons in Elden ring breaks the game and makes it easier, but That's a broken design by default.

That's what I like about nightreign. Your character isn't shit and you are 3 guys, so you can now deal with the bosses endless agro. I like this formula better.

Elden ring has more broken ashes of war and summons, so it's not a git gud issue. And delayed attacks and animations are better in nightreign.

>Lore question
How can you care about the lore when it just comes down to reading item descriptions? How the hell does the tarnished even know everything about every item you find? Or is this some omniscient narrator and if so who is this narrator?

You can beat the game solo, I've done it and many people too; the game even gives you more resources for solo like a free revive and revives in stores.

Anon has no friends. This is one of the most fun I've had with friends in coop.

Seamless Elden Ring was a vastly superior experience to Nightreign.

That means you haven't played many co-op games in your short life

>Is radagon also Marika’s love?
No. I think Radagon was a separate dude, who was actually born. And then Marika fused with him to be the one. It's her cheating women way of being simultaneously the Vessel and the Lord in a way to Godhood. As a result all her children are deformed.
