Even MORE Terrible Gaming Hot Takes | Asmongold Reacts

I’m a woman that’s been playing Souls games for a decade and it annoys me when people who really don’t actually care make statements about how sexist it is. I feel way more comfortable playing Souls games than tons of other games out there. These games feel safe to me and I have absolutely no issue with any of the female characters.

I love the moment asmon realised that he did the exact thing about calling people pussys for using a summon, it was gold.

I love the "I'm an adult, I have a life" defense. Cause I'm an adult, I have a life; and I enjoyed the game so much.

Imagine saying Kratos, the guy that starts out by attempting to end his own life so that his suffering and endless torment would finally cease, the guy that accidentally slaughtered his own family and has their ashes glued to his skin, the guy that in the first game in a nightmare sequence you protect your family from deformed versions of himself and heals them by hugging his wife and kid and it ends with Ares taking the blades and murdering them regardless as he cries "No not again" , the guy that went to Elysium to see his daughter but had to abandon her again or else the world would end. Are we really talking about the guy that saw his mother die and went to save his brother from Thanatos and it ends with his brother dying aswell and him contemplating what he's become as the grave digger replies "Death" and he then was gonna cast himself again but stopped. Are we talking about the same guy that after finding pandora he didnt want to sacrifice her cause she reminded him of his daughter? The same guy that after killing Zeus the last of the pantheon he turned his blade against himself and tried to again kill himself to finally be rid of his memories. Kratos is by no definition at all the good guy, but to say he had no depth and is one dimensional is absolutely insane.

"Elden Ring has already lost players" as it currently sits at number 13 most played game on steam rn

I love it when he said "How many people will be playing Elden Ring in a year, probably zero" My brother in christ, the first Dark souls came out 11 years ago and still has a religious fan base.

You can capture the exact moment asmo became self aware

I used a summon when I fought Malenia. No shame admitting that. I didn’t want to spend my day learning her every move and trying to execute perfectly. I do think it’s worth trying to fight her solo a couple of times. Just to get the feeling of how challenging she is. In my opinion Elden Ring is a masterpiece.

Old God of War had feelings too, most people just don't remember. The scene where he has to leave his daughter in the afterlife holds up.

The early God of War games certainly weren't Shakespeare but they have more depth than they are given credit for. Half the reason why Kratos is such a great character in 2018 and Ragnarok because of all his mistakes, trials and tribulations of the past saga. He's pondering and trying to make up for it with his love and growth of his son Atreus. He was always an emotionally deep character, just wasn't always presented in the best way.

Use summons, use magic, do whatever you want to take the boss out, the fun part about a game like this is to explore all the options at your disposal. Then come up with creative solutions to take the boss out.

'The community reacts harshly towards female characters' maybe in FromSoft games as a lot of the female bosses are among the hardest in the given title. Lady Maria (Bloodborne), Sister Friede (Dark Souls 3), and Malenia (Elden Ring) are all human (or close to) sized enemies that hit like a truck and have such aggressive styles that generally force you to change play styles and epic scores accompanying them that they are also among the most memorable and, for me, favorite bosses in the series.

The moment Asmon realizes how toxic he’s been by making fun of people who summon is hilarious

It’s kinda weird that the Malenia article author even chose Malenia to focus on in the first place - you would think someone like this would take much more issue with a character like Renalla for example, as she literally just sits about being sad about Radagon lol

I'm a commercial fisherman with 5 kids. I beat Elden ring in 4 weeks, I didn't have to ignore my family and hardcore this game in a hole. That quantum guy just needs to get good son.

Asmongold’s opinion on kratos being one dimensional is like saying guts is being one dimensional during his black swordsman arc for being angry all the time

I hate when people say that Young Kratos was boring character, the amount of things his story teaches us is just crazy... There's a nice comment I found about God of War and it literally describes how I feel about this series: - I think one of the key things people miss in regards to god of war is in fact... Kratos's story arch(encompassed across all GOW titles).. His story is told over the course of 7 brilliant games.. There is no vindication without suffering, there is no love without turmoil, there is no success without failure. there is no god-hood without first dancing with the devil. The reason Kratos is as lovable now as he is, is due to every game before God of Wars reboot. The angry, malicious, vindictive and cruel Kratos that we knew was changing in those games as well. These titles are not individual stories. They all encompass Kratos's story. Kratos's Dynamic character building began in god of war(the original) and every single game that has come and passed, has built his legend and our understanding of him. We grew/grow with Kratos as he grows because most of us can see his worst traits inside of us. I am 26 year old, I played the first god of war as a child, I now understand failure, pain, hurt, betrayal and most importantly BLIND ANGER... The lessons, the heartbreak and the growth this series emulates is a sheer stroke of brilliance. Any "decent" man should play this series, and take a REAL note from the story line of Kratos. Change before it is to late. In pursuit of redemption, revenge, destruction or pain.... you will always lose. Kratos in his reboot state... is simply teaching us.. it is not to late. We can choose to be better then what we have been or to forever remain in state of suffering. The path of righteousness is a path often walked lonesome. The path of wisdom may not be as exhilarating, but it certainly will maintain your safety and your sanity. You would not have Kratos from 2018 God of war without Kratos from 2005 God of war.

Kratos being one dimensional is what people who haven’t played all the games hear but when you actually play it you find out about his emotional side. Even in GOW3 where he’s most set on revenge and killing, he’s still got all those moments with Pandora where he sees her as a surrogate for his own daughter who died.

Quantum: nobody’s gonna play Elden ring in 2023 2024: people still playing Elden ring

Quantum: the game is already losing traction and players... ActMan: well if you would stop telling people to kill themselves... SAVAGE AF
