I think I’m not the only one on here that realizes that the Fromsoft discussion on here isn’t organic at all.
A complex mix of paid shills and bots post memes and start conversation about the latest Miyazaki rehash. Real anons browsing Any Forums think these convos are real and start making convos themselves. Then when things die down, the bots and paid shills start again to capture new clueless gamers.
Nah, youve gotten so paranoid and developed possible schizophrenia that you can't tell shills to autists. Shills are usually much more apparent and unnatural.

>paid shills and bots Most of those are redditors who do it for free. Your assumption they're being paid to do it is wrong
Everyone with a functioning brain knows how flawed Fromsoft games are, especially the soulsborne ones, and only retardittors think they're perfect.
finally people are starting to realize this. The paid reviews on metacritic was enough of a red flag. A 96 while persona strikers gets a 70? cmon
Christian Miller
ER is hugely overrated and mediocre slurry that Fromsoft keeps shoveling out but people can't stop eating.
Nathaniel Martinez
Game has a good first 20 hours which is what reviewers focused on
Hudson Stewart
I honestly think threads like these are a better example of inorganic and forced But what are you trying to slide? Or are you just mindlessly mimicking the slidepost style you see on other boards? Try talking about games you like user, that's why this board exists
Matthew Carter
I beat all FS games as a basic ass sword and board knight. In ER I tried out a ton of different builds and in the end I stuck with old reliable.
Austin Sullivan
Imagine literally having schizophrenia lol

What was your first run and why did you stick with it the whole run?
Ethan Reed
>that webm shockwaves
Adrian Butler
Just do the opposite of what you did in your first run. Did you use colossal weapons? Use a dagger and bob, weave, and poke bosses in gaps you didn't know existed. If you used katanas or other faster stuff go colossal and use stamp to punish the faggot bosses for ending strings and just trade with them on their weakest attacks to break poise in 3 interactions.

No, there's no shortage of NPCs browsing Any Forums.
Being associated with Any Forums is a major PR risk so I'm not as inclined to believe claims about shills.

Attention all Any Forumsirgins: The Great Reset has come at a crossroads with humanity. We can not allow the WEF & the young globohomo leaders to influence and manipulate the vidya markets any longer with their subversion of sex/gender in an attempt to destroy the family unit. In order to save gaming from these special interest groups, From Software(developers of Elden Ring) needs to be destroyed. Any Forums will declare WAR on Fromsoft next week and send globohomo a message. You heard it here first. Fromdrones will be quickly exterminated. Participation is mandatory, proof of non-purchase (proof you have never purchased a Fromsoft game) will be required to post on Any Forums. Anyone who posts positive things about From games will be permanently banned on sight. I repeat everybody will have to participate.
Spread the word and prepare your anus. It's finally happening... the fight to save gaming is upon us.
>Being associated with Any Forums is a major PR risk so I'm not as inclined to believe claims about shills. Shills are third world contractors, they don’t actually work for the company or brand they’re advertising for. I know you’re dangerously retarded but why would you assume only a Nintendo employee could shill for Nintendo on here?
Cooper Perez
It's been a bit of a dry spell for me in gaming. I suck, but I am enjoying the game quite a bit, and I enjoy hearing other people elucidate on things I don't understand.
Nintendo being caught hiring some pajeet firm to shill for them would cause a PR shitstorm on it's own, even without anyone from nintendo doing it.
Well that and alot of nintendo fans are consoomer morons, you know like apple fans, unironic republicans/democrats... chumps
Jackson Green
Mainly Faith. I used the broadsword for a minute, upgraded to faith spear. then eventually ran with the Winged Scythe for the rest of the game (sprinkling in some other faith weapons for fun). I stuck with it because it was working and I mainly wanted a weapon that had a large reach and the scythe was working well. It was also fun and looks cool.
James Roberts
Nope, still human, still looking for stuff around ER unless I wouldn't even be sticking with all y'all faggets.
Angel Jones
Yes, a game that sold 12 million copies surely needs to bot/shill on a low population chan site. Fucking retard.
Aaron Bennett
Spamming your shit half-assedly on a website does not associate you with them, not when your product has a wide demographic.
Notch personally spammed his shit game here before it became big and nobody but us even remembers.
Dylan Hall
How would they get caught you retarded nigger?
Robert Rivera
you underestimate how cautious big corps are about pr
there's shills on Any Forums yeah but much fewer than you'd think
Cooper Wilson
>needs to No, and nobody said that to begin with. >wants to Maybe, and in all likelihood is happening because that's just how advertisement works. Companies pay off third-parties to shill their crap, and those third-parties go crazy spilling it everywhere without a care in the world.
Eli Kelly
>there's shills on Any Forums yeah but much fewer than you'd think See you can tell it’s retarded third worlders behind most of the shilling because they always have such retarded “gotcha” excuses like this. Things that don’t make any sense even on a hypothetical level. Things that would only strike the smelliest, most braindead poo colored Indian as a “sensible argument”
Luis White
Elden Ring isn't overhyped at all in my opinion. Faggots complain about only three things: >Input-reading >Re-used bosses >"Easy mode". Seriously. Input reading is kind of bullshit, but it's completely overhyped and only blatantly apparent in very particular circumstances.
Re-using bosses isn't an argument. The game is supposed to get more challenging. >You beat a boss in the beginning of the game. >Now, how do you fare against TWO AT THE SAME TIME! Sure, you learned the first boss's moves and how to beat it, but fighting two completely changes the fight and how you approach it.
>Easy mode Completely optional if you want.
I find it hard to find any other faults of the game. If you don't like DS games you will find it obnoxious, sure, but I felt the same about new Smash characters being announced and people wont shut up about it, but I didn't make threads to complain, I just ignored them.
Jacob Hall
Which is why all the shill posts are so hollow and NPC-like. An impersonal approach absolves you of any guilt by association
Alexander Jenkins
99 INT glass cannon Arcane bleed build
Landon Watson
You are retarded if you think any publisher could manufacture discussion like this for 1 month straight and at the same time no one ever did it prior to Elden Ring for any other game for some reason.
Luis Diaz
>discussing the newest big game that isn't shit isn't organic at all because I don't like it, so it means that it's paid shills and bots Why are you like this, tortanics?
Joshua Wood
They’re being ironically helped along by concern shills and tortanic trannies who do it for free
