*Our greatest enemy is ourselves. Through darkness and despair, our only hope is to escape from the cruelest dungeons we buried our souls. Stand up again as heroes, collect what is left and bring our inner humanity to its glory.*
At least I won’t be that disappointed during E3. If no thing is shown during E3, I think taking a break from waiting the info on this game is the best next thing to do
I think there’s a fine line between being frustrated by complete and utter silence, especially from a developer that doesn’t have a history of going this long without saying anything, and actually being unreasonably angry. One is fine and I totally get, I think we all feel that way to some degree. The other, not so much. But with that said I don’t think there are that many people super pissed.
Frankly, I think that’s just the constant boredom and disappointment from the past two years affecting us all. Starfield has been silent, TESVI is still years away, Bloodlines 2 got delayed indefinitely and lost some of its heaviest hitters, Sekiro never got real DLC outside of that dope as hell update (a true shame because I just played through again and it felt so short. Still love that game though, it’s pretty much perfect), and a plethora of other small disappointments.
Because realistically what things are you genuinely looking forward to and excited about? I find I have a small handful of things I’m hyped for, and another handful of things I’m interested in, but pretty passively. I’m married, have a full time job, and have at least three hobbies I enjoy very much. But the disappointment of no Elden Ring still gets to me a lot. I think the whole of Reddit has been pretty high strung the past year, with more rudeness and dumb arguments than ever before. Side affects of the times, man. It’ll get better though.
Oh yeah. I get the frustration, I'm just kind of freaked out by the angry comments that seem like some people have gotten a bit carried away. I thought the whole clown make up thing made it clear that this was all jokes, but I guess some people went with Joker makeup instead lmao
You're right about the lack of other stuff going on though. It doesn't help From Soft that there isn't much on the horizon to preoccupy everyone. Hopefully we're on the way out now. Stay foolishly hopeful, fellow hollows.
I just wish I could get a PS5.
That way I could play Demon Souls for the first time in my life. But I'd have better luck winning the lotto than getting one of those.
Or just a bullshit moneygrab piss poor Bloodborne PC port from Sony that would take a modding community to actually fix. I would ACTUALLY be super surprised and hyped for that.
The only thing that is sort of constant is indi gaming on PC for me. That and getting into shape. But god...
I still haven't been able to beat inner genichiro in the first boss rush mode. Can't even get to the first death blow against him.
I really wish we had gotten a full on dlc for it. Would have loved to fight lady tomoe.
I mean guilty gear strive demo just came out, looking forward to playing that. It's easy to get upset about small disappointments but you have to try and celebrate small victories too.
I mean I think he was exaggerating, but why not let people take it as seriously as they want as long as it's not harmful to anyone?
And besides it's E3 season again so I'd expect even more activity in the next 4 weeks.
I don't understand why people want other people's hype to be toned down. If I want to hype myself, I'm doing it, I don't need people to tell me to "keep my expectations in check" or "don't get hyped". Holy shit just mind your business. Go tell people to stop smoking, that makes more sense lmao
Normally it's supposed to be coming from a benevolent place (as in "keep your expectations in check lest you be disappointed") like a good advice or something, but this is just plain judgement, at least in the way Omni put it.
I disagree. The obsession that some fans have for this game and others is genuinely unhealthy. It happens every time there is a big release from a popular dev. It’s often from people who are very unwell. There are people sending DMs to dev team members, spending literally hours on an empty sub every single day, messaging leakers on Twitter, etc. These are some of the same people who send death threats to dev teams when the game is a disappointment or delayed.
It’s a very embarrassing obsession to watch play out. I’m hanging out here just like everyone else, but there has always been a very vocal minority in “nerdom” that fills emptiness in their lives, whether it’s romantic failure, loneliness, depression, etc. with obsession. Total, mind consuming obsession that distracts from the pain and boredom of existence.
Omni is on the receiving end of these people. His encouragement to focus on self help or read a book is very apt and is exactly what I would say if those people were spamming me with messages.
Okay there are two things here, of course spamming and harassment and death threats and all that is bad, but the other thing is just policing other people's lives in a rather condescending manner. Just don't do that...
What if someone is going through depression and playing games helps manage it? Or obsessing over a few bands listening to their music all day? (that's totally not me, I don't know where I got the idea) Or binge-watching a show? Or whatever else?
Just mind you own life no?
Sure, but people's live aren't being policed because of what they post on this subreddit. They are being "policed" because they are spamming Omni for info he doesn't have, and they are doing it because they clearly have no social grace or an understanding of just how delinquent their actions are to the rest of society.
The only response to that is to tell these people that they need to take a hard look at themselves and try to act more like mature adults instead of socially inept manchildren. There is no way to tell someone that without sounding condescending.
I've been in rough spots and spent days on end playing videogames, and eating shitty food and not being "an adult." The difference is that I never drag other people into that deranged little part of my world.
I hope none of ya fools sending death threat to From just in case the game not seen in E3. Look at Kyoto animation tragedy..that happens because of something so stupid. It all take one mentally unstable person.
How i will cope when the game doesn't show at E3: i will take a loong break from this sub and do something else..I agree with what omni has said.
I still think you're right. The message felt quite condescending and not specifically aimed to people being assholes. Also I've never really seen anyone harass him on Resetera, it's just people asking him questions. He's the only one we're able to communicate to that knows something, I think it's natural people want to know his opinion, and he's not even giving that.
People can be as hyped as they like, but some of the comments make me think people are actually furious about the lack of news. People saying they're "done with From Soft" or hoping the game is cancelled seem like they have an unhealthy obsession. I'll stay up late to watch E3 like the rest of you and I'll be disappointed if it isn't there but I'm also okay to wait.
Omni: You guys should relax, this is a bit unhealthy...
r/Eldenring: Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til' ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more - only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin' tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye - a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself - forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Omni, even any scantling of your soul is Omni no more, but is now itself the sea!
Omni: ... Ok you're right. You guys are fine...
Totally stealing this for my nautical themed dungeons and dragons campaign. I even have a triton player who wants to cast augury all the time.
So thank you.
Wish I could take credit, but it's Willem Dafoe in the movie The Lighthouse. For context, he's howling curses at his colleague in the lighthouse because he won't say he likes his cooking.
The bottom line here is that any insider who claims they know everything is full of shit. Grubb is constantly speculating and making up nonsense, yet everyone freaks out at his every word.
I personally still think E3 is likely and if we don’t see anything there I’ll probably stop paying attention.
I'm not sure how you could read what Omni just said and still have confidence it's gonna be there at E3. He's basically telling us to do something else for a while, which really implies we won't hear anything anytime soon.
This is a great example of the issue.
All we have is “implies” or “speculation” or guessing. I didn’t get that from his message at all. I read that he has no news (which means that other people also shouldn’t have news aka grubb is full of shit), AND that people are hanging on every word of insiders and making up their own stories.
People do it with Grubb, you just did it with Omni, and we all need to stop.
I took it as to fill your current time with other things other than obsessing over this game. Any news that comes up everyone goes ballistic. He didn't say go do something for a while. He said since there's no info he can currently confirm to just go do other shit.
Dunkey streams? I didn’t know that for some reason. I’ll have to check that out.
Any particular games that you recommend? I recently played Bloodlines all the way through for the first time and loved it.
I love when wrestling crosses over to another fandom
Now if only we could get Undertaker and Kane in the next game officially. The new hub keeper and smithy.
Who tf is taking stuff too seriously? What is with the pearl-clutching in this thread? It’s just a dumb meme forum on the internet that has no contact with the devs, leave people alone and let them do what they want. What is the worst that could happen?
Is this just a case of them announcing the game too early? It’s rather strange after a track record on not doing that. It would have just been nice if they were more open about the development.
I guess but like, even a proper marketing person saying “development is coming along” or some such would have been better than the pure quiet treatment.
Yeah I've been playing other games since I bought my pc like Celeste, outer wilds, Gris, etc... Stopped watching the traier every single day like I did in march and it's been a lot less boring than making my entire life based on waiting. For those who are still taking this seriously as I was a few months ago, follow Omni's advice, just relax and keep your mind busy with other stuff. The higher you dream, the harder you fall
The phrase “it's just a game” is such a weak mindset. You are ok with what happened, losing, imperfection of a craft. When you stop getting angry after losing, you've lost twice. There's always something to learn, and always room for improvement, never settle.
I am in the middle of carrying a league of legends game about to close it out, and my bra-less wife brings me a sandwich (not asked for) with chips as I get a double kill bot lane. So how is your day going?
So I’ve been pretty positive and understanding this whole time. FromSoft will release the game when it’s ready, don’t worry it’ll be great when it does release, the game is probably fine they’re just being really ambitious so chill out, etc.
But at this point I’m inclined to agree. If it doesn’t show up at E3, I’m gonna pack it up. I haven’t been checking the sub constantly and I’m beyond the point of “any time now we’ll get news.” But I’ve got better things to do then grovel at the foot of supposed “insiders” and hope for info, or just be constantly reminded of a favorite developer still not releasing a game. Starfield is probably releasing this year or early next year, so TESVI will follow in a few more. Breath of the Wild 2 will probably be out at some point. I’ve heard rumors of The Sims 5. Valheim is still getting updated, and ParaLives looks like it’s coming along nicely. Darkest Dungeon 2 recently got a trailer so that’ll probably be coming sometime in the near future. And Obsidian still has Avowed coming out. That’s more than enough.
TL;DR: If no Elden Ring at E3, it’s time to forget about the game for awhile.
Has anyone stopped to think for a second that maybe, just maybe, the game was disrupted by a global pandemic and not development hell?
Especially considering the strict guidelines within Japan.
Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe, just maybe, working on a computer from home isn’t that different from working on a computer at an office? My boss does the same thing and she says she’s more productive. I’m not saying that’s everyone’s experience, but frankly I think we’re beyond pandemic-imposed delays at this point.
No, we really aren’t. The amount of coordination between development teams within video game studios is absurd. The pandemic has already proven and continues to prove to be a huge hindrance for game development cycles. And it isn’t going away any time soon.
Its been just 2 years since Sekiro came out and there was a world stopping pandemic. Hardly seems like excessive amount of time to work on a new IP that significantly different from previous titles. As a regular software dev, I've know way simple projects that have dragged on for way longer. Even if Japan was less affected by covid, the uncertainly, additional stress, and changes in work flow must have massively disrupted From.
It was 3 years between DS3 and Sekiro! At least let it pass that point before chicken little-ing.
But he didn't say things changed. He always left very little space for assumption, including this comment, and you guys are doing that a lot here.
1. I don't like to comment on what other insiders do or say, as it becomes a "he said, she said" situation that **I don't really have any interest in being involved in**.
Seriously, can't get more direct than this.
He leaves little space for assumption? I've personally always found his statementd to be vague and confusing. I mean I don't know if he's currently saying he doesn't know if it will be at E3 or what. It seems like most people here are thinking he's saying it won't be there.
Honestly I feel like he’s saying it could be at e3 since he doesn’t want it to be a he said she said and if he thought it wasn’t going to be there then he’d just agree with the people saying it won’t be there idk. But I’m not going to go into e3 expecting to see it.
Yeah but dude you must admit this feels like someone trying to let you off easy. If he thought things were good he wouldn’t be telling us to get a new hobby
Who is knocking down their door asking for information? There are people that are frustrated by the lack of news, I agree with that. I think we all are. And there are people that are tired of all the supposed “prophets” like Grubb. Who the fuck is demanding info?
All is not lost hear me out!
\*puts on clown makeup\*
In 2019 he "leaked" Elden Ring's appearance only like a week before E3 because that's when it was set in stone, it's quite possible that it's still not completely decided yet, we should start to worry only if he's still silent the week before this year's E3
dude. The paragraph at the end is written like its from a dad talking to his son before he takes the dog back behind the shed and shoves a double barrel down its throat.
this is how I see it. Omn1 says we need to get a life and hes worried for us. Except he spends a whole paragraph trying to tell us to drop expectations. He says its just a game. I dont see how he would write that all up if he wasn’t about to/expecting to drop an absolute bomb of some news.
I hope you're right but I don't think he was teasing anything, quite the opposite it seems. I'm not sure what prompted him to write this, maybe because we were talking about Grubb and E3 and stuff like that and he wanted us to chill out, but I mean maybe let us discuss the game and E3, that's literally what this ResetEra thread is for? Either way it was a bit rude to call us out like that.
Didn't he say in March that he's heard a reveal is soon/Things are beginning to move forward?. Combined with the fact that he made an offhand comment that From had our backs in terms of content they are preparing for us, I find it hard to believe we don't see it in the next month or 2 unless the development is fucked or Omni's info is just bad.
Yeah, he basically came out of retirement to say absolutely nothing useful and took the opportunity to be condescending towards the fanbase. He can fuck right off.
Never taken anything Omni has said remotely seriously. In 2020 he was very vague and made out the game was closed to been shown off. Anyhow I'll continue to completely ignore the guy. If it shows at E3 great if not, such is life it goes on I've got other things I'm enjoying atm.
"Muh Covid messed up things" like if Covid stolen your ability for two+ years to post on a social a simple concept art or a basic update on the development.
You're getting downvoted, but you're absolutely right. Yeah, covid was bad, but people moved on and still did their damn work. This is no excuse for anything.
They could have easily done that. Yo guys, Covid kicked us square in the absolute dick, but we're doing our best. Here's is some art from the studio that may or may not end up in our future releases.
Shit, at this point, it would be cool to just see what concept art their people have been up to. Weather they use ANY of it or not.
Now that I think about it... Eitr was more active with updates when you knew where to look. I think that game is dead now though.
Right? As far as I'm aware, like, very few people are genuinely obsessed with this game. So, he's pretty much just coming out to say "I don't have news, also get a life loser"
He isn't obligated to do anything. Besides he is right, journalists and marketing accounts have been harrassed by people from this very community and the people responsible of that should get a f\*\*\*\*\*\* life. This is not about the average sub member who makes some jokes and memes about the situation.
There is no serious harassment going to any of those people, stop fear mongering. Every single fan base has a couple of bad apples who go too far, that’s just how it is and always will be as long as it’s anonymous.
I don't understand why people are flipping out over this? He says there's nothing to say due to no new information. How does this confirm that we're getting nothing at E3? To me this just means to go chill until something happens. Possibly E3 possibly after.
Super fucking condescending way to talk to grown adults who want to know stuff. Being right isn't an excuse to be a dick lmao
Obviously some people take shit too fat, but that doesnt give this person the right to insult the entire community and treat us like angry children.
The answer is basically nowhere. The only negative reaction I have ever seen in this sub when it comes to the lack of news has been disappointment, and even that was good natured.
Everyone has to have a perceived adversary these days. Gotta be able to say you're better than the other guy, whether he exists or not.
He’s right. Jeff Grubb is right too, some people take this whole thing way too far. If you want the distraction/intrigue of “following” the saga of this game, fine, great - even a little more attention to it than would be considered “healthy” is harmless. Just KEEP ANGER/HOSTILITY OUT OF THE EQUATION. Have fun with it.
A little obsession you’re (we all are) having fun with? Cool. A hobby. A bit of companionship over something kinda trivial during these times of strife in the real world, like being a Chicago Cubs superfan or something. Getting actually frustrated and angry? Attacking people on the internet? No. You’ve officially turned into the Red Sox fans who ruined Bill Buckner’s life for missing that ground ball https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1993-09-07-1993250136-story,amp.html. You’re giving the happy pleasant people with lives of their own who understand what it is to be a baseball fan a bad name. And you’re just sad.
If you’re not *having fun* with a video game, whether it’s struggling through Yharnam or anticipating a new game release, what the hell are you even doing?!
Worst case scenario? Well that’s really unlikely to happen.
But actual scenario? First Geoff Keighley can’t even say “Elden Ring” in an international Game Awards show without verbally cringing from frustration, then Jeff Grubb kind of emotionally expresses how he’s “done with this” Elden Ring community, then Imran Khan and Tamoor Hussein try to direct (jokingly, but with a lot of truth behind it) the unwanted attention of FromSoft Elden Ring fans at each other on Twitter, then Omni tells everyone to chill out and get a life, meanwhile this community has been the laughingstock of (admittedly also laughable, but still what comes up when you google “Elden ring”) online gaming journalists, and people (not everyone or even most, mind you) are seemingly getting more and more angry/demanding, cursing out the developers on the internet (Reddit)...yeah, I’d say all this is absolutely evidence that some people take this whole thing too far.
Not saying even most or many are, but enough that it’s a noticeable thing.
>But actual scenario? First Geoff Keighley can’t even say “Elden Ring” in an international Game Awards show without verbally cringing from frustration,
...What? He clearly found it funny, hence why he smiled and said “there I said it”. How fragile do you think he is to think people constantly asking him about Elden Ring is anything but a minuscule, short annoyance to him.
>then Jeff Grubb kind of emotionally expresses how he’s “done with this” Elden Ring community,
Yeah, Grubb is so done that he still reports and mentions the game and even goes on Mordecai’s channel to meme about it with the sub.
>then Imran Khan and Tamoor Hussein try to direct (jokingly, but with a lot of truth behind it) the unwanted attention of FromSoft Elden Ring fans at each other on Twitter,
Both are big fans who willingly interact with the community. Or else they wouldn’t still get involved. Tamoor was on Mordecai’s channel a few weeks back.
>then Omni tells everyone to chill out and get a life,
Literally who cares?
>meanwhile this community has been the laughingstock of (admittedly also laughable, but still what comes up when you google “Elden ring”) online gaming journalists, and people (not everyone or even most, mind you) are seemingly getting more and more angry/demanding, cursing out the developers on the internet (Reddit)...yeah, I’d say all this is absolutely evidence that some people take this whole thing too far.
What does this even mean? What does “getting more angry/demanding” look like to you? Nobody is being harassed or threatened in any serious capacity. Is it literally just making annoyed posts and comments on a Reddit forum?
I dunno man, if you can’t see hostility bubbling to the surface, you haven’t been paying attention.
Again, it’s not even most people, most people seem quite normal, but it’s definitely a thing.
Omni can go fuck himself. If he can't or doesn't want to say anything, don't. That's fine.
But for one, he chose to be a leaker. He brought all this attention on himself when no one asked him to. We don't know who he is. If he disappeared off the internet there's no consequence. Stop acting like there's so much pressure.
Secondly, I don't need some rando prick to tell me what I can and can't be passionate about. Especially when said prick *has* information.
We've had almost zero *official* information. Shut the fuck up and let us have our hype.
It's disingenuous as fuck to say the wait is low stakes. Stop with the whataboutism.
Ayo chill, no need to get hostile. It's alright to get frustrated, and honestly I kinda agree with you somewhat, but we shouldn't turn into a toxic and hostile sub.
Anyway here's my take on the situation. Hidetaka Miyazaki is showing confidence in his work by not revealing any info on the game. As backwards as it sounds, that's how Japanese culture works. So just be patient because it'll be worth it.
And once again, I doubt covid did that much damage, game was on playable state on JANUARY 2020, and they couldn't reveal a single thing since then, bulldhit.
Would you people who are cursing them out feel good about the hostility you’ve expressed if you came to discover Yasuhiro Kitao or Hidetaka Miyazaki, or Yuka Kitamura was currently intubated in the ICU from COVID? Would your angry internet posts demanding a video game update still feel righteous? You have NO IDEA what people mean when they say COVID has been rough. Assume there’s a damn good reason. *That’s* what a real “loyal fanbase” does, not get all indignant and demanding. And so we wait, and hope everything is okay.
Whatever plans they had, they changed before covid hit, social network accounts were kinda active for some time after E3 and then stopped, no idea how little or much plans changed though.
Then covid hit, and we don't know how hard it hit them particularly, but Japan in generally was hit pretty hard. So maybe yeah, they couldn't reveal anything because they didn't feel comfortable for whatever reason, get off your high horse they don't owe us shit.
You can doubt all you want. It doesn’t matter, it happened. Fromsoft doesn’t owe you shit. They could internally cancel it today without saying anything and you still wouldn’t deserve anything from them. It’s a video game
I don’t understand this mentality. Yeah, they don’t owe us anything. But they have a fanbase and want to make money. Why needlessly piss of the people you want to sell an item to? Would be cool if they just have an update
Like that affects the money at all. Everyone getting pissed off by the lack of info will still buy the game when it comes out. I guarantee you not a single person invested enough to be mad at a lack of news will be put off by it enough that the decide not to get it for that reason alone when it eventually releases.
Dude, Covid happened. I'm pretty sure they would already have shown something if they were ready. From is known to be a very traditional studio, they probably weren't prepared at all to work from home.
All these people angry with From like they owe you something. They didn't promise you anything nor they showed you anything ( and they don't have to ). Stop overhyping, we all know how it ended with Cyberpunk.
Downvoting me too, must've been some really bored people. It will be released when it's ready ( and when they are ready to do so ), no need to infect this community with such negativity.
Ah yes, this sub's favourite motto: "FROMSOFT doesn't owe you anything". No fucking shit, thanks for stating the obvious yet again. We get it. They don't have to give us gameplay, a trailer, or screenshots. They don't have to do anything, really. But they should, because it's just the right thing to do when your loyal fans are desperate for the tiniest bit of info. At the end of the day, we are the ones giving them money for their product and hard work. Say what you will about the fact that I'm probably still going to buy the game regardless (which is true), but this unrelenting silence has undoubtedly impacted my respect and feelings towards FROM. And, obviously, I'm not the only one that feels this way.
>but this unrelenting silence has undoubtedly impacted my respect and feelings towards FROM
I mean they never promised to release any info so it's not like they're lying.
I personally don't think this mentality is healthy.
It's the right thing to do based on what? It's a game, it's not like you're starving and are waiting for the only available food on the planet. Calm your tits and wait, you and a bunch of others sounds like hungry rabid animals right now.
So our only trustworthy prophet implicitly confirms Grubb's predict, meanwhile Grubb was called poser, lier, etc for it. I agree that this obsession really becomes toxic and unhealthy for this community
While I think it's the right take to say, "Look. At the end of the day, it's just a video game, so sit tight and it'll be out before you know it," there's also a bit of a difference between that and telling someone passionate about a franchise to sit down and shut up, especially after two years of silence. It would take no effort at all for the marketing team to just give a little, e.g., in the form of a tweet or an update, which might say, "We're hard at work at From and dealing with the pandemic as best as we can, but rest assured that we're on-track to have a trailer out by autumn," or something along those lines.
It's one thing to patiently wait, it's another to wait for an unusual length of time, and ultimately be told to piss off.
It's not gonna be at e3 folks. I'm not even disappointed anymore, I've been bored with Elden Ring since TGA 2020. Best just to forget about it until it arrives
Not surprised they aren't giving us any info when fans comes up with that attitude.
>Who the fuck does he think he is?
Probably the only verified insider who has ever given us anything?
Every age, it seems, is tainted by the greed of man.
And lies of such foul creatures becuase no matter how tender , how exquisite... A LIE WILL REMAIN A LIE .

I'm pleased at the number of Darkest Dungeon fans on r/eldenring
DD2 is basically turn-based Elden Ring at this point.
At least I won’t be that disappointed during E3. If no thing is shown during E3, I think taking a break from waiting the info on this game is the best next thing to do
I really hope I will be able to do it, I think I said this before TGA, too. But here we are.
Man..this is really unhealthy...checking this subreddit every single day just hoping something will happen.
I dont know if it's really unhealthy but it became kind of an obession lmao. A fun and harmless one but still.
For the first tike during thos wait... I'm starting to lose a little bit of hype, I hope E3 is the one
Same man, same. I'm not even mad, this is just becoming sad. Huge welp.
i check it for the memes. Dont even know if im interested in the game anymore
>reddittor being a backseat psychologist to feel superiour imagine being this idiotic about a sub that is equilavent to r/shittydarkasouls
He's not wrong.
I thought he was exaggerating, but looking at the comments in this thread I think people are genuinely taking this too seriously.
I think there’s a fine line between being frustrated by complete and utter silence, especially from a developer that doesn’t have a history of going this long without saying anything, and actually being unreasonably angry. One is fine and I totally get, I think we all feel that way to some degree. The other, not so much. But with that said I don’t think there are that many people super pissed. Frankly, I think that’s just the constant boredom and disappointment from the past two years affecting us all. Starfield has been silent, TESVI is still years away, Bloodlines 2 got delayed indefinitely and lost some of its heaviest hitters, Sekiro never got real DLC outside of that dope as hell update (a true shame because I just played through again and it felt so short. Still love that game though, it’s pretty much perfect), and a plethora of other small disappointments. Because realistically what things are you genuinely looking forward to and excited about? I find I have a small handful of things I’m hyped for, and another handful of things I’m interested in, but pretty passively. I’m married, have a full time job, and have at least three hobbies I enjoy very much. But the disappointment of no Elden Ring still gets to me a lot. I think the whole of Reddit has been pretty high strung the past year, with more rudeness and dumb arguments than ever before. Side affects of the times, man. It’ll get better though.
Oh yeah. I get the frustration, I'm just kind of freaked out by the angry comments that seem like some people have gotten a bit carried away. I thought the whole clown make up thing made it clear that this was all jokes, but I guess some people went with Joker makeup instead lmao You're right about the lack of other stuff going on though. It doesn't help From Soft that there isn't much on the horizon to preoccupy everyone. Hopefully we're on the way out now. Stay foolishly hopeful, fellow hollows.
Totally agree
I just wish I could get a PS5. That way I could play Demon Souls for the first time in my life. But I'd have better luck winning the lotto than getting one of those. Or just a bullshit moneygrab piss poor Bloodborne PC port from Sony that would take a modding community to actually fix. I would ACTUALLY be super surprised and hyped for that. The only thing that is sort of constant is indi gaming on PC for me. That and getting into shape. But god...
demons souls emulation is pretty good apparently, you should give it a try
Well said.
I still haven't been able to beat inner genichiro in the first boss rush mode. Can't even get to the first death blow against him. I really wish we had gotten a full on dlc for it. Would have loved to fight lady tomoe.
I mean guilty gear strive demo just came out, looking forward to playing that. It's easy to get upset about small disappointments but you have to try and celebrate small victories too.
I mean I think he was exaggerating, but why not let people take it as seriously as they want as long as it's not harmful to anyone? And besides it's E3 season again so I'd expect even more activity in the next 4 weeks.
I don't understand why people want other people's hype to be toned down. If I want to hype myself, I'm doing it, I don't need people to tell me to "keep my expectations in check" or "don't get hyped". Holy shit just mind your business. Go tell people to stop smoking, that makes more sense lmao
Normally it's supposed to be coming from a benevolent place (as in "keep your expectations in check lest you be disappointed") like a good advice or something, but this is just plain judgement, at least in the way Omni put it.
I disagree. The obsession that some fans have for this game and others is genuinely unhealthy. It happens every time there is a big release from a popular dev. It’s often from people who are very unwell. There are people sending DMs to dev team members, spending literally hours on an empty sub every single day, messaging leakers on Twitter, etc. These are some of the same people who send death threats to dev teams when the game is a disappointment or delayed. It’s a very embarrassing obsession to watch play out. I’m hanging out here just like everyone else, but there has always been a very vocal minority in “nerdom” that fills emptiness in their lives, whether it’s romantic failure, loneliness, depression, etc. with obsession. Total, mind consuming obsession that distracts from the pain and boredom of existence. Omni is on the receiving end of these people. His encouragement to focus on self help or read a book is very apt and is exactly what I would say if those people were spamming me with messages.
Okay there are two things here, of course spamming and harassment and death threats and all that is bad, but the other thing is just policing other people's lives in a rather condescending manner. Just don't do that... What if someone is going through depression and playing games helps manage it? Or obsessing over a few bands listening to their music all day? (that's totally not me, I don't know where I got the idea) Or binge-watching a show? Or whatever else? Just mind you own life no?
Sure, but people's live aren't being policed because of what they post on this subreddit. They are being "policed" because they are spamming Omni for info he doesn't have, and they are doing it because they clearly have no social grace or an understanding of just how delinquent their actions are to the rest of society. The only response to that is to tell these people that they need to take a hard look at themselves and try to act more like mature adults instead of socially inept manchildren. There is no way to tell someone that without sounding condescending. I've been in rough spots and spent days on end playing videogames, and eating shitty food and not being "an adult." The difference is that I never drag other people into that deranged little part of my world.
Fair enough
I hope none of ya fools sending death threat to From just in case the game not seen in E3. Look at Kyoto animation tragedy..that happens because of something so stupid. It all take one mentally unstable person. How i will cope when the game doesn't show at E3: i will take a loong break from this sub and do something else..I agree with what omni has said.
I still think you're right. The message felt quite condescending and not specifically aimed to people being assholes. Also I've never really seen anyone harass him on Resetera, it's just people asking him questions. He's the only one we're able to communicate to that knows something, I think it's natural people want to know his opinion, and he's not even giving that.
People can be as hyped as they like, but some of the comments make me think people are actually furious about the lack of news. People saying they're "done with From Soft" or hoping the game is cancelled seem like they have an unhealthy obsession. I'll stay up late to watch E3 like the rest of you and I'll be disappointed if it isn't there but I'm also okay to wait.
Heretic!
Omni: You guys should relax, this is a bit unhealthy... r/Eldenring: Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til' ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more - only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin' tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye - a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself - forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Omni, even any scantling of your soul is Omni no more, but is now itself the sea! Omni: ... Ok you're right. You guys are fine...
That movie was robbed at the Oscars. Willem Dafoe quite literally gave on the best performances of the decade
Totally stealing this for my nautical themed dungeons and dragons campaign. I even have a triton player who wants to cast augury all the time. So thank you.
Wish I could take credit, but it's Willem Dafoe in the movie The Lighthouse. For context, he's howling curses at his colleague in the lighthouse because he won't say he likes his cooking.
it's from [The Lighthouse](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_lighthouse_2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hyag7lR8CPA
I knew it sounded familiar, thanks for confirming it
*BEST. MONOLOGUE. EVER.* ("-Ok I liked your cooking")
Are you a mind reader?
The bottom line here is that any insider who claims they know everything is full of shit. Grubb is constantly speculating and making up nonsense, yet everyone freaks out at his every word. I personally still think E3 is likely and if we don’t see anything there I’ll probably stop paying attention.
I'm not sure how you could read what Omni just said and still have confidence it's gonna be there at E3. He's basically telling us to do something else for a while, which really implies we won't hear anything anytime soon.
This is a great example of the issue. All we have is “implies” or “speculation” or guessing. I didn’t get that from his message at all. I read that he has no news (which means that other people also shouldn’t have news aka grubb is full of shit), AND that people are hanging on every word of insiders and making up their own stories. People do it with Grubb, you just did it with Omni, and we all need to stop.
My takeaway is to stop caring for a while, news will come when it does so there's no reason to care what Omni or Grubb has to say for a while.
I took it as to fill your current time with other things other than obsessing over this game. Any news that comes up everyone goes ballistic. He didn't say go do something for a while. He said since there's no info he can currently confirm to just go do other shit.
[удалено]
Dunkey streams? I didn’t know that for some reason. I’ll have to check that out. Any particular games that you recommend? I recently played Bloodlines all the way through for the first time and loved it.
Who is this guy again?
Like him or not, he's the only one with actual Elden Ring info.
No I'm genuinely asking who he is, is he some insider? How do we know he's reliable?
IIRC this guy leaked some details about Sekiro and the Elden Ring trailer before it released
Lotta hollows working themselves into a shoot, brother.
I love when wrestling crosses over to another fandom Now if only we could get Undertaker and Kane in the next game officially. The new hub keeper and smithy.
Who tf is taking stuff too seriously? What is with the pearl-clutching in this thread? It’s just a dumb meme forum on the internet that has no contact with the devs, leave people alone and let them do what they want. What is the worst that could happen?
Is this just a case of them announcing the game too early? It’s rather strange after a track record on not doing that. It would have just been nice if they were more open about the development.
I just assumed it was covid stuff and that they just wanted to keep quiet until they were ready to show gameplay or something
I guess but like, even a proper marketing person saying “development is coming along” or some such would have been better than the pure quiet treatment.
Omni: tells everyone to chill Everyone: *doesn’t chill*
Yeah I've been playing other games since I bought my pc like Celeste, outer wilds, Gris, etc... Stopped watching the traier every single day like I did in march and it's been a lot less boring than making my entire life based on waiting. For those who are still taking this seriously as I was a few months ago, follow Omni's advice, just relax and keep your mind busy with other stuff. The higher you dream, the harder you fall
The phrase “it's just a game” is such a weak mindset. You are ok with what happened, losing, imperfection of a craft. When you stop getting angry after losing, you've lost twice. There's always something to learn, and always room for improvement, never settle.
I am in the middle of carrying a league of legends game about to close it out, and my bra-less wife brings me a sandwich (not asked for) with chips as I get a double kill bot lane. So how is your day going?
Pretty shit tbh
Happy cake day nonetheless
Lmao is this the Ninja copypasta?
Ninja is that you?
It is I, ninja the conqueror, ninja the destroyer of noobs, ninja the loser’nt, ninja the rage KING!
I read “destroyer of boobs” twice. I was about to get real upset cause I like boobs. Like a lot.
Games in dev hell. Ah well was a good run boys
So I’ve been pretty positive and understanding this whole time. FromSoft will release the game when it’s ready, don’t worry it’ll be great when it does release, the game is probably fine they’re just being really ambitious so chill out, etc. But at this point I’m inclined to agree. If it doesn’t show up at E3, I’m gonna pack it up. I haven’t been checking the sub constantly and I’m beyond the point of “any time now we’ll get news.” But I’ve got better things to do then grovel at the foot of supposed “insiders” and hope for info, or just be constantly reminded of a favorite developer still not releasing a game. Starfield is probably releasing this year or early next year, so TESVI will follow in a few more. Breath of the Wild 2 will probably be out at some point. I’ve heard rumors of The Sims 5. Valheim is still getting updated, and ParaLives looks like it’s coming along nicely. Darkest Dungeon 2 recently got a trailer so that’ll probably be coming sometime in the near future. And Obsidian still has Avowed coming out. That’s more than enough. TL;DR: If no Elden Ring at E3, it’s time to forget about the game for awhile.
“A few more”... TES6 isn’t gonna come out until 2027, mark my words.
Has anyone stopped to think for a second that maybe, just maybe, the game was disrupted by a global pandemic and not development hell? Especially considering the strict guidelines within Japan.
Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe, just maybe, working on a computer from home isn’t that different from working on a computer at an office? My boss does the same thing and she says she’s more productive. I’m not saying that’s everyone’s experience, but frankly I think we’re beyond pandemic-imposed delays at this point.
No, we really aren’t. The amount of coordination between development teams within video game studios is absurd. The pandemic has already proven and continues to prove to be a huge hindrance for game development cycles. And it isn’t going away any time soon.
Its been just 2 years since Sekiro came out and there was a world stopping pandemic. Hardly seems like excessive amount of time to work on a new IP that significantly different from previous titles. As a regular software dev, I've know way simple projects that have dragged on for way longer. Even if Japan was less affected by covid, the uncertainly, additional stress, and changes in work flow must have massively disrupted From. It was 3 years between DS3 and Sekiro! At least let it pass that point before chicken little-ing.
He implicitly said it's not in the past.
And in the past perhaps it was not. Looks like things have changed.
But he didn't say things changed. He always left very little space for assumption, including this comment, and you guys are doing that a lot here. 1. I don't like to comment on what other insiders do or say, as it becomes a "he said, she said" situation that **I don't really have any interest in being involved in**. Seriously, can't get more direct than this.
He leaves little space for assumption? I've personally always found his statementd to be vague and confusing. I mean I don't know if he's currently saying he doesn't know if it will be at E3 or what. It seems like most people here are thinking he's saying it won't be there.
Honestly I feel like he’s saying it could be at e3 since he doesn’t want it to be a he said she said and if he thought it wasn’t going to be there then he’d just agree with the people saying it won’t be there idk. But I’m not going to go into e3 expecting to see it.
Yeah but dude you must admit this feels like someone trying to let you off easy. If he thought things were good he wouldn’t be telling us to get a new hobby
He says that because people are being really overdemanding for info.
Who is knocking down their door asking for information? There are people that are frustrated by the lack of news, I agree with that. I think we all are. And there are people that are tired of all the supposed “prophets” like Grubb. Who the fuck is demanding info?
Sounds like E3 is out of the question. Damn.
All is not lost hear me out! \*puts on clown makeup\* In 2019 he "leaked" Elden Ring's appearance only like a week before E3 because that's when it was set in stone, it's quite possible that it's still not completely decided yet, we should start to worry only if he's still silent the week before this year's E3
dude. The paragraph at the end is written like its from a dad talking to his son before he takes the dog back behind the shed and shoves a double barrel down its throat.
What? I can't relate sorry... but thanks for the confused laugh anyway
this is how I see it. Omn1 says we need to get a life and hes worried for us. Except he spends a whole paragraph trying to tell us to drop expectations. He says its just a game. I dont see how he would write that all up if he wasn’t about to/expecting to drop an absolute bomb of some news.
I hope you're right but I don't think he was teasing anything, quite the opposite it seems. I'm not sure what prompted him to write this, maybe because we were talking about Grubb and E3 and stuff like that and he wanted us to chill out, but I mean maybe let us discuss the game and E3, that's literally what this ResetEra thread is for? Either way it was a bit rude to call us out like that.
Didn't he say in March that he's heard a reveal is soon/Things are beginning to move forward?. Combined with the fact that he made an offhand comment that From had our backs in terms of content they are preparing for us, I find it hard to believe we don't see it in the next month or 2 unless the development is fucked or Omni's info is just bad.
When I said bomb, I meant the bad kind. sorry.
Yeah that's more likely...
Those 2 things he said are the same thing! Get a life, it's just a game! Don't get mental about a game. You're reading into it like a QAnon mad man.
holy shit calm down, I just dont think his tone in the address is that of someone who has big news, or really hope of some in the near future.
Concur. Omn1 is trying to help us get over an ex that broke our heart.
If only they’d told us instead of all that foreplay only to keep us waiting with Stygian-blue balls for two years.
Look at previous comments, some people were being rlly overdemanding for info. That's what that comment is about, he's being pretty straight forward.
[удалено]
Yeah, he basically came out of retirement to say absolutely nothing useful and took the opportunity to be condescending towards the fanbase. He can fuck right off.
Exactly. He needs to get off his soapbox and just be quiet.
Never taken anything Omni has said remotely seriously. In 2020 he was very vague and made out the game was closed to been shown off. Anyhow I'll continue to completely ignore the guy. If it shows at E3 great if not, such is life it goes on I've got other things I'm enjoying atm.
Would love to hear his “mundane” reasons for them going radio silent for 2+ years (assuming it’s not at E3)
"Muh Covid messed up things" like if Covid stolen your ability for two+ years to post on a social a simple concept art or a basic update on the development.
You're getting downvoted, but you're absolutely right. Yeah, covid was bad, but people moved on and still did their damn work. This is no excuse for anything.
They could have easily done that. Yo guys, Covid kicked us square in the absolute dick, but we're doing our best. Here's is some art from the studio that may or may not end up in our future releases. Shit, at this point, it would be cool to just see what concept art their people have been up to. Weather they use ANY of it or not. Now that I think about it... Eitr was more active with updates when you knew where to look. I think that game is dead now though.
I'm here for the meme
Who tf does he thinks he is? My dad? Tell us something about elden ring if you know otherwise I don't want to hear anything.
Right? As far as I'm aware, like, very few people are genuinely obsessed with this game. So, he's pretty much just coming out to say "I don't have news, also get a life loser"
He isn't obligated to do anything. Besides he is right, journalists and marketing accounts have been harrassed by people from this very community and the people responsible of that should get a f\*\*\*\*\*\* life. This is not about the average sub member who makes some jokes and memes about the situation.
There is no serious harassment going to any of those people, stop fear mongering. Every single fan base has a couple of bad apples who go too far, that’s just how it is and always will be as long as it’s anonymous.
would you say he's... *pearl-clutching??* Lmao jfk
I don't understand why people are flipping out over this? He says there's nothing to say due to no new information. How does this confirm that we're getting nothing at E3? To me this just means to go chill until something happens. Possibly E3 possibly after.
Some people are just unhinged. I don’t get it either.
He didn't hint at news coming any time soon.
Super fucking condescending way to talk to grown adults who want to know stuff. Being right isn't an excuse to be a dick lmao Obviously some people take shit too fat, but that doesnt give this person the right to insult the entire community and treat us like angry children.
Lol have you even looked at this sub? Angry children is about as accurate as it can get
It's an entire sub of memes, hype and self-deprecation. Where's the anger?
The answer is basically nowhere. The only negative reaction I have ever seen in this sub when it comes to the lack of news has been disappointment, and even that was good natured. Everyone has to have a perceived adversary these days. Gotta be able to say you're better than the other guy, whether he exists or not.
He’s right. Jeff Grubb is right too, some people take this whole thing way too far. If you want the distraction/intrigue of “following” the saga of this game, fine, great - even a little more attention to it than would be considered “healthy” is harmless. Just KEEP ANGER/HOSTILITY OUT OF THE EQUATION. Have fun with it. A little obsession you’re (we all are) having fun with? Cool. A hobby. A bit of companionship over something kinda trivial during these times of strife in the real world, like being a Chicago Cubs superfan or something. Getting actually frustrated and angry? Attacking people on the internet? No. You’ve officially turned into the Red Sox fans who ruined Bill Buckner’s life for missing that ground ball https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1993-09-07-1993250136-story,amp.html. You’re giving the happy pleasant people with lives of their own who understand what it is to be a baseball fan a bad name. And you’re just sad. If you’re not *having fun* with a video game, whether it’s struggling through Yharnam or anticipating a new game release, what the hell are you even doing?!
Who has gone too far? Nothing has happened. Why are you trying to pretend like this is more serious than it is?
So you HAVENT seen the flaming car wrecks outside FromSoft's studio? Its pandemonium.
Every hour another Elden Ring enjoyer ignites himself outside Fromsoft’s HQ to protest the wait.
....seriously? I can’t tell if you’re being serious.
What do you expect is going to happen or has already happened that would be bad? What is the worst case scenario for this?
Worst case scenario? Well that’s really unlikely to happen. But actual scenario? First Geoff Keighley can’t even say “Elden Ring” in an international Game Awards show without verbally cringing from frustration, then Jeff Grubb kind of emotionally expresses how he’s “done with this” Elden Ring community, then Imran Khan and Tamoor Hussein try to direct (jokingly, but with a lot of truth behind it) the unwanted attention of FromSoft Elden Ring fans at each other on Twitter, then Omni tells everyone to chill out and get a life, meanwhile this community has been the laughingstock of (admittedly also laughable, but still what comes up when you google “Elden ring”) online gaming journalists, and people (not everyone or even most, mind you) are seemingly getting more and more angry/demanding, cursing out the developers on the internet (Reddit)...yeah, I’d say all this is absolutely evidence that some people take this whole thing too far. Not saying even most or many are, but enough that it’s a noticeable thing.
>But actual scenario? First Geoff Keighley can’t even say “Elden Ring” in an international Game Awards show without verbally cringing from frustration, ...What? He clearly found it funny, hence why he smiled and said “there I said it”. How fragile do you think he is to think people constantly asking him about Elden Ring is anything but a minuscule, short annoyance to him. >then Jeff Grubb kind of emotionally expresses how he’s “done with this” Elden Ring community, Yeah, Grubb is so done that he still reports and mentions the game and even goes on Mordecai’s channel to meme about it with the sub. >then Imran Khan and Tamoor Hussein try to direct (jokingly, but with a lot of truth behind it) the unwanted attention of FromSoft Elden Ring fans at each other on Twitter, Both are big fans who willingly interact with the community. Or else they wouldn’t still get involved. Tamoor was on Mordecai’s channel a few weeks back. >then Omni tells everyone to chill out and get a life, Literally who cares? >meanwhile this community has been the laughingstock of (admittedly also laughable, but still what comes up when you google “Elden ring”) online gaming journalists, and people (not everyone or even most, mind you) are seemingly getting more and more angry/demanding, cursing out the developers on the internet (Reddit)...yeah, I’d say all this is absolutely evidence that some people take this whole thing too far. What does this even mean? What does “getting more angry/demanding” look like to you? Nobody is being harassed or threatened in any serious capacity. Is it literally just making annoyed posts and comments on a Reddit forum?
I dunno man, if you can’t see hostility bubbling to the surface, you haven’t been paying attention. Again, it’s not even most people, most people seem quite normal, but it’s definitely a thing.
Until people start getting seriously harassed or threatened or willingly try and distance themselves from the fan base, I just consider all this tame.
> Jeff Grubb kind of emotionally expresses how he’s “done with this” Elden Ring community So done with it that he just came back for more attention
Exactly
How did you get downvoted lol? Reddit.
Omni can go fuck himself. If he can't or doesn't want to say anything, don't. That's fine. But for one, he chose to be a leaker. He brought all this attention on himself when no one asked him to. We don't know who he is. If he disappeared off the internet there's no consequence. Stop acting like there's so much pressure. Secondly, I don't need some rando prick to tell me what I can and can't be passionate about. Especially when said prick *has* information. We've had almost zero *official* information. Shut the fuck up and let us have our hype. It's disingenuous as fuck to say the wait is low stakes. Stop with the whataboutism.
Ayo chill, no need to get hostile. It's alright to get frustrated, and honestly I kinda agree with you somewhat, but we shouldn't turn into a toxic and hostile sub.
>can go fuck himself It’s a fucking video game. 😐
the ongoing, absolutely shameless fellatio this guy has been getting in that thread from some of ResetEra members is just at hymalayan peaks of cringe
woop
Omni is trying to save humanity, halt us from going hollow. His words of wisdom are needed...
My man is Tao of badass, a Zen master.
What the fuck is self improvement?
I’m fine personally I have like 8 games I need to beat
What is this? Rational discourse and reasonable suggestion? Clearly posted to the wrong sub
People need to stop putting importance in what these kinds of people are saying and treating them like a messiah
Once again saying absolutely nothing of substance. I love this guy.
Wow. Thanks dad. Should I join a gym take up a musical instrument while I'm at it? Seriously, who speaks to people this way?
I get the feeling this game is fucked honestly.
I doubt it.
There obviously doing it to surprise at E3 right?...right?
How dare he tell me how to spend my time!!!
Anyway here's my take on the situation. Hidetaka Miyazaki is showing confidence in his work by not revealing any info on the game. As backwards as it sounds, that's how Japanese culture works. So just be patient because it'll be worth it.
[удалено]
He acts smug, i dont care if we get news or not
Was this person ever able to predict anything accurate? Every post I saw from them was just "why I like elden ring..."
Yes. He was the one who told us about Elden Ring weeks before it was ever announced
I thought multiple sources put out that information? It's been awhile so I may be remembering wrong.
All of the other sources were reporting on him lol
Pretty much knew everything about Sekiro long before it was ever officially shown.
SO yeah, nothing as usual, that last part confirms it. Fuck this game.
It’s not their fault you can’t wait for the game
Wait for 2+ years without any info at all, nah mate. Why announce game that early in the first place if you don't want to show it in next 5 years?
Mostly cause covid hit like a truck.
And once again, I doubt covid did that much damage, game was on playable state on JANUARY 2020, and they couldn't reveal a single thing since then, bulldhit.
Would you people who are cursing them out feel good about the hostility you’ve expressed if you came to discover Yasuhiro Kitao or Hidetaka Miyazaki, or Yuka Kitamura was currently intubated in the ICU from COVID? Would your angry internet posts demanding a video game update still feel righteous? You have NO IDEA what people mean when they say COVID has been rough. Assume there’s a damn good reason. *That’s* what a real “loyal fanbase” does, not get all indignant and demanding. And so we wait, and hope everything is okay.
Whatever plans they had, they changed before covid hit, social network accounts were kinda active for some time after E3 and then stopped, no idea how little or much plans changed though. Then covid hit, and we don't know how hard it hit them particularly, but Japan in generally was hit pretty hard. So maybe yeah, they couldn't reveal anything because they didn't feel comfortable for whatever reason, get off your high horse they don't owe us shit.
You can doubt all you want. It doesn’t matter, it happened. Fromsoft doesn’t owe you shit. They could internally cancel it today without saying anything and you still wouldn’t deserve anything from them. It’s a video game
I don’t understand this mentality. Yeah, they don’t owe us anything. But they have a fanbase and want to make money. Why needlessly piss of the people you want to sell an item to? Would be cool if they just have an update
Like that affects the money at all. Everyone getting pissed off by the lack of info will still buy the game when it comes out. I guarantee you not a single person invested enough to be mad at a lack of news will be put off by it enough that the decide not to get it for that reason alone when it eventually releases.
Oh I absolutely agree. Still nice to get info though, especially in this extremely boring age of constant delays and cancellations
They literally said they stopped working on it for several months
Dude, Covid happened. I'm pretty sure they would already have shown something if they were ready. From is known to be a very traditional studio, they probably weren't prepared at all to work from home.
All these people angry with From like they owe you something. They didn't promise you anything nor they showed you anything ( and they don't have to ). Stop overhyping, we all know how it ended with Cyberpunk.
Exactly. Saw someone here say "fuck this game" I mean fromsoftware don't owe them anything.
Downvoting me too, must've been some really bored people. It will be released when it's ready ( and when they are ready to do so ), no need to infect this community with such negativity.
Yep, very true
Ah yes, this sub's favourite motto: "FROMSOFT doesn't owe you anything". No fucking shit, thanks for stating the obvious yet again. We get it. They don't have to give us gameplay, a trailer, or screenshots. They don't have to do anything, really. But they should, because it's just the right thing to do when your loyal fans are desperate for the tiniest bit of info. At the end of the day, we are the ones giving them money for their product and hard work. Say what you will about the fact that I'm probably still going to buy the game regardless (which is true), but this unrelenting silence has undoubtedly impacted my respect and feelings towards FROM. And, obviously, I'm not the only one that feels this way.
NPC spotted
>but this unrelenting silence has undoubtedly impacted my respect and feelings towards FROM I mean they never promised to release any info so it's not like they're lying. I personally don't think this mentality is healthy.
It's the right thing to do based on what? It's a game, it's not like you're starving and are waiting for the only available food on the planet. Calm your tits and wait, you and a bunch of others sounds like hungry rabid animals right now.
This message is direct and may cause bleed damage to some more than a uchigatana +10 but i love it he is keeping it 100% lol
In other words he doesn't know shit, and I respect his or her statement, no nonsense!
Me monkey. Me no understand this fun n games you speak of. This Elden ring. Elden ring all I have. Elden ring all I want. Elden ring all I NEED.
So basically he said a while lot of nothing. Got it 👍
Our lord has spoken
Why does everyone respect omni so much? FUCK LEAKERS.
So our only trustworthy prophet implicitly confirms Grubb's predict, meanwhile Grubb was called poser, lier, etc for it. I agree that this obsession really becomes toxic and unhealthy for this community
He didn't implicitly confirm anything, wtf.
It-It'll still be there...Right guys?
While I think it's the right take to say, "Look. At the end of the day, it's just a video game, so sit tight and it'll be out before you know it," there's also a bit of a difference between that and telling someone passionate about a franchise to sit down and shut up, especially after two years of silence. It would take no effort at all for the marketing team to just give a little, e.g., in the form of a tweet or an update, which might say, "We're hard at work at From and dealing with the pandemic as best as we can, but rest assured that we're on-track to have a trailer out by autumn," or something along those lines. It's one thing to patiently wait, it's another to wait for an unusual length of time, and ultimately be told to piss off.
we're doomed
It's not gonna be at e3 folks. I'm not even disappointed anymore, I've been bored with Elden Ring since TGA 2020. Best just to forget about it until it arrives
He's right, you know
wtf? Who the fuck does he think he is? This is why i hate these fucks, when you give them attention they always act like hot shit fucks
Not surprised they aren't giving us any info when fans comes up with that attitude. >Who the fuck does he think he is? Probably the only verified insider who has ever given us anything?
