Cope and Seethe nigger faggot.

>inb4 if your roll or block you didn't beat the game
Are you this butthurt?

>No need to intentionally go out of your way to gimp yourself.
I wish more people realized that the only reason Soulsbornering games are so 'difficult' is that 90 percent of people are doing challenge runs.

OP is a flaming faggot

This box says otherwise.

>you didn't play it MY way so it's wrong
Correct.

Low tier bait thread. Try harder retard.

If speedrunners can glitch through floors and 'beat the game' when they get ending cutscenes, using intended game mechanics is pretty reasonable.

Honestly Spirit summons is nice feature, but people have too much of bride to use them, they do make fights more fun but also some fights become kind of a joke, because the spirit summons distracts the boss and you can get free hits in or jus stunlock them.

Dilate tranny

I beat the game without summons and I think people that used summons DID beat the game.

using any items in the game is fine, reading anything online (wikis and otherwise) is not

>That's great! You didn't beat the game.
Don't care, I still had fun. Until I reached the capital and it became boring.
Still had my fun. Didn't have to pay 60$ for it either.

cope, Elden Ring is NOT a difficult game

then why do I have this screenshot of the end credits titlecard? checkmate elitist drone.

>he used buckler parry
Literally easy mode parry, didn't beat the game.

I am an elite gamer, therefore my opinion holds more merit than someone who had to play on easy mode to "win". In other words: I'm right and you're wrong.

the devs put it in the game

ergo if you didn't use it you didn't beat the game

Oh shit you're an elite gamer? I'm so sorrynsirnI didn't realize

The game actively gives you and tells you about spirit summons. You continue to receive new spirit summons throughout the game. But you think for some reason you're not supposed to use spirit summons.

If you used spirit ashes, you may have finished the game, but you didnt beat the game. Big difference. In fact, the game beat you.

Good. Kneel.

It took me NG+ to beat the game or does that not count either

You didn't beat the game.

my dad beats me

>Yea Forums : no we don't want an easy mode ffs the beauty of the game is that everyone has to play by the same rule and overcome the challenge
>also Yea Forums : you have to beat it according to my own personal rule otherwise it doesn't count

Miyazaki said i beat the game :)

So what's the valid way to beat the game?

>no items
>no weapons
>no spells or incantations
>no summons
>final destination

IF YOU USED SUMMONS, OR SPELL BUFFS.

YOU DID NOT BEAT THE PALYER

Yeah I actually probably would'nt have even bothered with spirit ash shit if like 80 percent of the rewards you get for catacombs weren't upgrade materials for and new spirit ashes.

I had a blast being a Moonbeil fag carried by Black Knife Tiche
Beat the game with zero stress

You didn't beat the boss

I did, I even got to journey 2, how else are you supposed to do that?

I'm sat on the elden throne and everything user-kun

What's that, you didn't 100% no damage, no dodge, no parry speedrun using a Donkey Konga bongo controller? Guess you're too much of a casual to *really* beat the game.

>expecting consistency from a bunch of autistic spergs who think being a rabid contrarian makes them cool

Its perfectly consistent. Spirit summons are easy mode, which shouldnt have been there

Mitsubishi-san said I beat the game and gave me some neat achievement to prove it. LOL!

Weird. Why do I have this platinum trophy

*ahem*
If you used spirit summons, summon signs or any such mechanics, you did beat the game
>b-but I had fun
That's great! You did beat the game.
>psh I dont even care!
That's fine. You beat the game though.

This. Also:
>Incantations?
Didn't beat it.
>Sorceries?
Sorry, but no.
>Azur? Dragon Incantations?
Didn't even play the game.
>Moonveil? Rivers? Heavy Thrusting? Vyke? Bloodhound? Night and Flame? ANY Remembrance Weapon? Reduvia? Black Knife? Any Eochaid weapon? Colossal weapons? Astel weapons? Twinblades?
Never even installed.
>Bloodslash? Hoarfrost? Carian Retaliation? Giant Hunt? Flaming Strike? Black Flame Tornado? Seppuku? Bloodhound Step? Raptors of the Mist?
I think we know the answer.
>More than 5 flasks and above +3 flask?
Maybe next time.
>Bull Goat?
bahahahahahaha
>Scarlet Rot, Frost, or Bleed?
Just no.
>Fingerprint or Buckler
Not even close to beating it.
>Grease or Drawstring Grase?
:^) c'mon now.
>Above level 45 by Haligtree?
On-par with watching it on YT.
>Jump R2?
HA!
>Summons?
Don't even go there.

>if you use [game mechanic], you didn't really beat the game
That's about the same as "if you fired your gun, you didn't beat the game."

>sat on the elden throne

Oh wow you literally didn't beat the game if you got the shit ending. Ranni or Frenzy are the real endings.

Better luck next time.

Ranni is for trannies, don't kid yourself

>gun analogy

>if you didn't solo LASO Halo without using any weapons or vehicles, you didn't beat the game

If you pressed start at the main menu, you didn't beat the game.

>Fuck, I don't have an actual rebuttal. Better post a line of greentext to show that I've won the argument

Correct, unless you used inverted controls.

If you used your eyes or hands, you didn't really beat the game.
>but I need my eyes and hands to play the game!
Don't care, you didn't beat the game.
