As a man who has never played Elden Ring and really knows nothing about it beyond it being the name of a game, the people getting all het up in these comments are very amusing. I think you guys proved her point.

I say stupid shit on purpose all the time but I don't pretend it's anything but.
I once made the mistake googling easy mode for Elden ring that someone gifted to me. Once I saw the gatekeeping on Reddit, I decided it's not a game for me and uninstalled. I'm sorry that I suck at video games
it gets much easier when you start treating it like a rhythm game where you get into dance offs with the enemies:)
and no need to interact with a game's community when it's shite, it's a single player game you can enjoy it however you want! (or don't, i'm not pressuring you, just don't want you to miss out on a good game because its fanbase is made of out assholes)
I don't want to redo the same thing a dozen times just to experience the story and world
fair
Aren't you still forced to see other people's insane / spoiler messages even in "single player"?
No, you can disable those too.
Hmm, I might have to take another look at this game then... Thanks!
The messages are very limited and are almost entirely people congratulating you or saying something dumb like fort night
alternatively
dog!
I have gotten all achievements for the game and this is the way. I am not even particularly good, just determined. It is a very good game, just dont read the comments on fextralife.
Whoop, I mixed up dark souls 3 with Elden ring. Though, the same applies. I did like the gritty atmosphere and lore. The main issue I had was the learning curve and when trying to playing co-op there was no way to turn off strangers joining what I recall. But I bet by now there's mods for all of that like you said.
If you ever want to give it a shot, everything in the souls games can be trivialized if you just farm a little extra between the next fight.
That's not to say it won't be difficult at times, but if you prepare yourself well enough you can take just about anything.
Honestly just ignoring the YouTuber meme builds and pumping vitality to 40 right away makes all the souls games pretty approachable.
I like turtles
All difficult games should have an easy mode for accessibility.
Signed, a Dark Souls enjoyer.
Agreed. Games are meant to be enjoyed or as a measure of skill, but they don't have to be both.
