"how do you turn this thing ooooon!"

I thought myrmidon of loss was the name of the big sword, and it is ambiguous if it is the name of the guy wielding it or something else

It was a joke that cut so deep, seething FromDrones had to resort to ad hominem to form a semblance of rebuttal.
They know it's a flawed rhetorical tactic and, decades later, they'll still be seething.

>he didnt get a matching grip on his rivers of blood

cyberpunk also had this shit lol

nothing worse than being in the early stage of a meme that you know will be successful. Zanzibart is already well established and now there is that jar faggot. that's how dark souls boss must feel

>Tarnished, come in. I detect multiple hostiles in your vicinity, I suggest engaging the enemy on horseback. Did you know that mounted combat is an age-old tradition that dates back to ancient times prior to the establishment of the Golden Order? It is said that combatants rode on giant turtles into battle - those fights allegedly lasted for days. Nowadays you see mostly the northern people utilize horses in combat, although I've heard General Radahn commands the mightiest steed in the Lands Between. Be careful if you ever encounter him, Tarnished. You know how to contact me if you need me. Melina out.

So true user. Reddit will be laughing about zanzibart for decades.

It can be read both ways. However, natural reaction is to assume his name is Myrmidion as its the first name read

>"You lookin' at my tattoo? It's a Greater Will thing. Kinda like brandin' cattle, but way creepier somehow."

Why would a sword be called a myrmidon.

watch the video and you'll know

Where do I find Ranni's codec frequency?

Memes nowadays die off quick, there's always the next fad coming up, so hold on.

there's a healthy balance they could've met. Like, oh I don't know, giving some indication of where NPCs will move after interacting with them so you can actually find them. inb4 fextralife retards tell me to explore more

Myrmidon is not a name you fucking esl retard

It'd be nice if there was an arrow pointing in the direction they went, like the grace ones.

we need questlogs and quest markers its only natural for a modern open world RPG.
Fromsoft should take a page from Bethesda's book.

a bethesdrone trying to secrete poison and bad ideas into our minds. dont listen to him

literally one line of dialogue. "I'm heading north". Done. Even better, "I'm heading to ________"

i mean what the fuck

>Heh, finger maidens... I better head over to that bandit camp
>Wait a minute... you're telling me Radagon and Marika... are the same person?! Man, these Elden Lords are f**ked up
>Hold on, you never told me this seedbed stuff was going to curse all of us! You're fucking insane!! WHERE IS MALENIA?!

Yeah, and maybe chests with randomized loot at the end of catacombs that scale with your level. It'd make exploring so much more meaningful.

On the contrary, just look at the Critically Acclaimed RPG, TES Skyrim to see how a mastercrafted RPG is supposed to look and feel.
Tis indeed a shame that such drivel as "bethesdrone" is regarded as an intelligent thing to say.

It's been awhile... Todd.

Imagine if they had the ranni doll doing this for you. Cut melina out completely. She was meant to have that roll of telling you the lore etc, but it was far too lackluster.
Have the doll on your shoulder or waist, talking to you frequently. Not neccessarily guiding you, but giving you lore etc.

With the ranni doll you have it building your relation to her, to eventually make you pick her ending for first playthrough.

I imagine Zanzibart is like Gwyn and Myrmidon is like one of his abandoned Black Knights who still serve him and will hunt you for trying to get to him

I'm doing miquella right now. It is relatively easy compared to others at least when you find the sorcerer in the shack. So I go back to her. Then back to the sorcerer. Then again back to her. Then back to the sorcerer to get my reward. He's gone and she's there, so I talk to her and assume I'll find her again later dead or something. Somehow I come back to that place because I'm looking for a cave or a catacomb nearby. The fucking sorcerer is back again. it's like a wack-a-mole minigame

Play the game before you start talking about lore horizontranny, obviously The Myrmidon of Loss was killed and his soul resides in the sword named after him.

LOL

Not a single "fromdrone" plays fromsoft games for the "story", so I don't think they'll be seething, they're too busy pouring hundreds of hours into the game. But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you tranny? No. You're too busy dilating that revolting crotch wound of yours.

Needs to speak in a more welsh accent with thou's and doth's. Otherwise an okay shitpost.

>T-tranny!!!
Ahahah, seething, as mentioned.

>misses the point entirely
Mutt education or ESL?

ER 2 if partnership with Kojima.

unironic kino, we need more protagonist like Jack "Bullshit" Garland instead of these silent incel self inserts

It was a joke based on delusions and not reality. FromSoft writing is top tier and there is an enormous amount of lore in each game, so to joke that there is no lore and youtubers are just making it up is blatantly stupid and unfunny.
Not only that but the joke came from a Borderlands writer, a game series that has never had good writing, on fact has some of the worst in game history.

Zanzibart uh... finds a way

>"Each elden has its ring"
-John Eldenring

>he didn't get the Zanzibart ending
You didn't beat the game

I watched one minute of Horizon boss-fight gameplay and I really think you guys owe Breath of the Wild and Elden Ring... not so much an apology but maybe a thank you for even assuming that the player has half a fucking brain cell. If either of those games took cues from Horizon then immediately upon entering any fight with an ice-themed enemy you'd be hearing either the protagonist or his plucky companion saying:

"DAMN, SOME KIND OF ICE CREATURE - MY REGULAR ARROWS WON'T WORK HERE."

"IF ONLY I HAD SOME KIND OF SPECIAL ARROW."

"WHAT WAS THAT OLD TALE I HEARD ABOUT SOME GUY CALLED PROMETHE-- AH, IT'S PROBABLY NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW."

"WHEN I WAS A CHILD I HAD A FRIEND CALLED FIEYA AND SHE LIKED PUTTING THINGS IN A ROW - 'FIEYA A-ROWS' I WOULD SAY TO MY MOTHER."

>Fort, night

I hate how common this trend is in AAA video games. I don't need to hear a constant stream of retard friendly tutorials from some unlikeable player character that won't shut up. The only game I didn't mind it so much was Days Gone, but only because I grew to like the character and the voice performance was good.

>noooooooo don't you get it you're using the meme wrong!

elden ring has none of that and it outsold every shitty handholy AAA game
Thus proving western devs are wrong in making their games easier and easier
Elden ring literally does everything opposite of what western devs do and it sold 11 million copies in 2 weeks. That's why westoids were seething so hard.

I think it needed two things:
Firstly would have been an actual in-game journal so that you can look over what the last words a character said to you before they disappeared were. Games like morrowind understood that if you're going to give players an open world with no actual markers for side-quests, then you do at least need to give players some other form of direction.

The second would be characters actually giving better clues to where they're going. I'm not saying literally having every character say "I'm going to be at this location", but at least give them more of an indication of where they're going or what they're looking for to help you work it out.
They way from used to design NPC quests worked because the games were linear enough that a player could be expected to meet the NPCs in a certain order. But making elden ring open world means that it's way more common for an NPC to fuck off to somewhere the player has already explored/completed. And without a clue to direct the player to that spot again the chances of them stumbling on the character are very slim.

>Thinking for a minute the guy who is supposed to be decreased/historical isn't gonna come back as an end boss when he's called out like that

lore is
NOT
A
FUCKING
JOKE

This would have made the game 10/10 for me
