I love the combat loop melee fighting him.

>>715687610 (OP)
>cool fight
>recycled 5x in the base game before you get to this guy
Why did they do this? They did this for almost every fight down to the Tree Sentinels.

>>715687734
>I LOVE ROLLSLOOOOOOOOOOOP

>>715687873
Same. He's one of the best bosses in the game.

>>715687873
never understood this gay faggot """"argument""""
you can say
>I LOVE x slop
where x is literally any single game mechanic.
a jrpg where you have to spend heal potions to avoid death?
>I LOVE HEAL POTION SLOP!!!!
a fps where you have to not be shot to avoid death?
>I LOVE COVERSHOOTER SLOP!!!!
the list can go on and on and on
you are literally whining about core mechanics, you might as well whine about video games existing at all

>>715687858
Open world slop is a meme meant to extend the scope of a project indefinitely while upper management skims off the top. You either phone it in and slap filler content in the gaps, or you keep the overall scope down to an early 2000s game.
Every other alternative approach just gives you a modding framework or a sandbox.

>>715689429
I mean the game could've still been open-world (even if i personally hate that model) but just make original boss encounters for each area. Fromsoft has an entire library of scrapped designs and movesets, use those, update them to fit ER and you're golden. Don't make 10 Deathrite Birds with 0 variation outside of health pools. Don't make 20 dragon encounters.

there isnt really anything wrong with fighting a boss enemy more than once. stuff like tree sentinels can be cathartic to fight when you learn their moves, and adding more mechanics or other enemies in later fights makes things more interesting while also helping you train to be better prepared for a more interesting fight, like how the game has you fight multiple godskins 1v1 before the game forces you to fight them 1v2.

The people who complain about this sort of stuff are the tourists who dont really like the games but are trying to complete it for completions sake, actual fans know that the fight itself is the game and "its about the journey not the destination"

>>715692018
>the people who complain about a lack originality or lazy asset flips are Ie tourists
Yeah its third-world hours.

>>715688564
i shidded abnd cummed myself

>>715692116
>game has more unique content than any other open world
>NOOO I SAW AN ENEMY MORE THAN ONCE ITS A LAZY ASSET FLIP

Yes, you are salty tourists who got frustrated with te game and in your monkey brain if a game makes you feel bad for being a moron then its a poorly designed game.

>>715692018
>we're now defending copy/paste enemies
Fromdrones really are just a bunch of retards

>>715687610 (OP)
Pursuer but actually good. It's actually scary to find him in open world.

>>715692953
Feel free to suggest a game that doesn't have duplicate enemies.

>>715689523
That would still force them to make hundreds of unique encounters to replace the copypastas and represents a lot of manhours even if they do have some existing corpus of work for every single one of them.
ER barely has the content to justify a map the size of DaS1.
Openworld is a meme that they got suckered into because either:
>Felt like they could have succeeded at making an openworld game with DaS2 on a second run if they didn't get fucked over, basically a Fromsoft Dolchstoßlegende
>Got into contractual hot water with Namco over DaS2 and got suckered into delivering an actual openworld game even though they know that it doesn't really work

Guys I think OP is talking about the Nightreign version he just used the base ER image.
It's an alright knight fight.

>>715694475
They are absolutely the same. Even in Nightreign I would prefer not to waste my time on him and just kill someone else. He's relatively easy for Ironeye, but it's still takes so much time to kill him.

>>715694637
He has way less health in actual ER unless you're fighting the Caelid one early on. The only reasons people fear him in NR are because of his HP and his lack of the new stagger animation.

>>715693089
I want pursuer for a nightreign event.

Have him spawn on the other side of the map and his music just gets louder the closer he gets

>Unload Wylder's Charged ULT on him
>He doesn't even flinch
It's honestly comical, hilarious even.
>Proceed to die in two hits.
Lol lmao.

>>715687610 (OP)
>Fromshits don't like bosses that are le hard
Your entire game's ideology ahs been built upon 'muh atrophied kingdom' and artifical difficulty. Don't bitch out now you little queer. I even fight this bitch at the bottom of the castle Day 1 with my deal in Elden Ring Fortnite. The only annoying part of this fuck is his floating sword attacks (the 3-4 swing combo and the twirl). Just abuse your 0 skill i-frame dodges or learn to parry (and block if nightreign).

>>715695285
mindbroken lmao

>>715695279
Most of Dark Souls bosses are too easy for John Eldenring, they need to buff him.

>>715695279
I feel like Margit and some of the nightlords already do the "pursuer" gimmick, that being said I wouldn't mind it if they re-used in the way you said or some other creative way.

>Team-mates attack Libra and mid-battle Margit invades so we just run away.
NR really benefits from moments like these.

>>715695470
NR needs more of random encounters.

its nearly 3AM, time for the eshna fag to ruin the thread by battling to the death over shit thats obviously wrong

I wish this guy did some actual fucking damage. Its just kneecapping to play him outside the final boss fight but even then he hardly pulls his own.

>>715695386
Yeah, they buffed gaping dragon a bit with the acid puke now trailing behind giving him less massive open windows

But pursuer could honestly just be buffed by giving him slightly better tracking, as after all he's an ealy game souls boss which means he is easily countered with the flank and buttspank method

And his big stab that curses should drain a level too

>>715695736
>"He can't be that bad".
>Use him to attempt solo Everdark Fulghor.
>Reach half HP bar with three revives.

>Switch to Wylder and first try him with only four flasks.
Okay, I have to admit, his damage REALLY sucks.
Especially knowing that Raider can serve as a tank as well, all while outputting better damage/posture-damage.

>>715696028
He is decent at everything outside of movement and dmg. I'd tolerate his move tech being shit if he got more out of his steelguard.

>>715696028
He's supposed to be a dedicated tank and because of his passive he can tank a lot more than anyone else. But he can't aggro without passive effects from relics so he's kinda not very well designed and needs some work so he wouldn't be a dead weight for the team.

Hows that chick that summons guys? Would she be fun to play solo?

I want weapons from dlc in nightreign, maybe even dark souls weapons. Why smelter demon doesn't drop his sword?

>>715697680
More fun than Recluse imo, but she doesn't have aby FP restoration ability.

>>715687610 (OP)
only retards like Elden ring, its a boring open world rollslop snoozefest, dark souls 3 was already garbage for retards so not surprised the genre devolved this way

>>715701958
holy fucking based

>>715701738
>have aby FP restoration ability.
Outch, that sucks. Whos the guy who turns into a big monster, would he be fun solo? Im thinking about getting NR but idk. I hate playing coop games with randos and I dont know anyone who likes soulsborne games

>>715687858
>before you get to this guy

You fight this guy in hyper specific locations at night only and only on a reload because he hunts the merchants and he won't spawn if they're already loaded. It's entirely possible to never encounter him before reaching his castle.

>>715692953
Copy paste enemies are a criticism when Devs are using it to avoid making new content. Elden Ring has more different enemy types than any 3D action game.

>>715701992
Nightreign is pretty fun in solo, especially when you understand what do you need to do and how be more effective, I would even recommend to play solo before you go to multiplayer. It's very different experience from any other FS game.
Wylder is hands down the easiest and one of the most fun playable characters. He's very good at everything, you can even cast magic if you want.
Executor is katanafag with Sekiro parrying on his active ability, it's fun but you definitely needs some practics to be good. He's also arcane character so he can apply status effects and bleed very fast. He can transform into furry as his ultimate, it's very different from the ultimate abilities of the other characters. It heals you and give you bonus HP, you can easily wipe the entire camp of enemies, but usually you use your ultimate to break the stance of the boss with one single strike and he can't do that.

>no Maliketh's skin for executor that also change his furry form
There are so many wasted opportunities in nightreign.

>>715702737
A lot of people have already said this but it's still wild to me how the single-player exprience feels so much easier than the multi-player one, guaranteed my view at least is affected by the fact that I didn't play Solo until I beat the game through COOP.
Though I still vouch for the multi-player exprience purely because of how chaotic and fun it can be.
>>715703739
Yet at least.
Hopefully they add Base ER armors as skins before the DLC to hype things up. If Raider does not receive a Godfrey skin once it happens then that would actually be a genuine wasted opportunity.
>No chances of either Executor skin as the bloody crow of cainhurst, or Duchess as Lady Maria due to FROM not owing BB as an IP
...

>>715697427
Executor can tank more technically since he loses zero stamina from deflects, but it's harder to pull off.

>>715692256
>I LOVE SHID AND COOM SLOP

it must be hard still sucking at Elden Ring after all this time lmao

>>715705013
>hard
>sucking
anon please cool it with the gay thoughts

come on bro you come on here to post this shit everyone knows you're stuck jobbing on rennala or some shit like that. probably close to level 100 too

>>715692116
>>715692953
ER has the biggest enemy roster in game EVER. prove me wrong, you can’t you faggot.
next you’re going to cry about goombas in every mario game arent you dumb nigger?

>>715687610 (OP)
>Using a shield is cheesing/not beating the game fairly
yes or no?

>>715692721
TotK has infinitely more unique content thanks to the building mechanics.

>>715706156
Amazing post, like genuinely. I'll be sure to use the same to rile up some reactions in the future
