Elden Ring's Second Live-Action Trailer Is Just as Awkward as the First

Its all right, Adesanya about to defend his belt this Saturday. It works out.

@Total_Weirdo I would probably play a game before suggesting it's GOTY. That said, you're not wrong. I've never played for so many hours on one game without being distracted by another. My first Plat, to boot!

@Total_Weirdo don't doubt yourself. I don't like games that require trial runs, deaths and learning boss move sets, because to me that is boring and ruins immersion, because I love games with storylines, and I would usually get frustrated at multiple deaths in a row because I'm not always very good and in some cases can panic. But there's something about Elden Ring that makes everything work fine. I was so chilled out playing this game, and it has truly changed me as a gamer.

I sunk nearly 200 hours in to Elden Ring and loved almost every minute, I did not like the dungeons that much, especially as they could be repetitive, but the open world is so full of stuff to do, and so wonderfully made that it more than makes up for that. It really has to be played to fully understand how well crafted the world is.

So yes, Elden Ring has changed games like this forever, and they really have made it as frustration free as possible.

I played it mostly solo, but there's always help if you need it, summon a friend or a stranger, melt that tricky boss, and go on exploring.

So don't miss out on what you think might be game of the year (I mean it clearly is GotY, even despite it being far from perfect in lots of little ways)

Buy it, play it, and experience it before you miss out and regret it

They were just trying to politely tell you to "git gud."

Both advertisements are fine. Not any more awkward than a lot of other ads out there. Do you really think Wen and Adesanya are gamers who have actually played Elden Ring? I doubt it. Maybe they booted up the game for a few minutes to prepare for the job like Pascal with TLoU or Holland with Uncharted. 😛

@Total_Weirdo would suggest giving it a try anyway, the game does a lot to make it easier to play.
Besides experiencing it yourself is something else at the end of the day.

@Th3solution Adesanya is known as something of an anime/manga fan, and From games have been getting mainstream attention over the last years. So yes, I think there is a big chance he's actually a fan of the game. Former Flyweight champion Mighty Mouse was also a big Souls fan.

And Cannonier is getting KO'd this weekend.

@Perturbator I’d like to see Adesanya and Wen’s trophy lists.

Just a stupid trailer all around. Waste of. Money

@TastyChef honestly it’s nowhere near as hard as it’s made out to be. It’s easy to get overpowered to where the game is easy but it’s vast immersive splendour is easy to get lost in. With the harder enemies, they just have a pattern that you see through after multiple deaths so you end up overcoming them which always feels great. Maybe because I’ve played the dark souls series but i feel a lot of it is exaggerated. It’s only a few bosses that are really a pain and they are optional.

I have to wonder what the point is in spending what is likely to be a boatload of money in an advertisement like this, for a game that's already sold way beyond expectations and continues to do so via mere word of mouth.

Even if the trailer was good (which it certainly wasn't) it'd still feel redundant.
