MODERATORS
The piss babies that whine about others playing Elden Ring wrong are honestly the worst part of the community. Elden Ring has been beaten by someone using a DDR floor pad, let's not act like there's any value or pride to be had in choosing to not use summons.
This goes for all of the games. The definition of "cheese" no longer means beating a boss through a glitch or exploit it now means beating a boss with non reddit approved mechanics.
I still throw dung over the capra demon boss wall cos fuck that dude.
I had a friend who refused to use summons and said he had to beat every boss "properly". He then quit the game while I finished it and had fun doing so.
I don't really get what the sense of pride is for. Nobody is watching you play how you like
If the game gives you summons and also beefs up the bosses and makes them way more aggro with longer combos than any game before, presumably it's because the devs balanced those fights around using summons but idk it's not like Miyazaki did an interview where he said he uses every item and summon he has access to
I've already made a post to this effect. The tools given in the game are more powerful than any prior its definitely intended amd balanced around using them.
Games that have a specific method of play are made with that intention aka bloodborne and sekiro otherwise souls is use mechanics until win.
The only legit run is played at RL1 as wretch with no fast travel and no graces and no potions and no items and no summons and if you crack a smile or enjoy yourself at all you have to restart
