When in doubt, insult one out! Click here for my last “explained in insults” homage blog on Elden Ring gameplay tips. Now without further ado, call me a policeman getting railed by David Cameron, because you’re about to experience roasting that’s only been reserved for the spit until now!

Now, I know, boo hoo, my blogs don’t have videos embedded- TOUGH TITTY MASERATI, sometimes we can’t have nice things, so click here for the Elden Ring story trailer shown at The Game Awards or carry on reading like the meek little bookworm you are! And because some of you have memory spans short enough to make Dory feel cocky, feel free to check our coverage of the Elden Ring 19-Minute gameplay reveal if you’re so inclined. Good? Good!

Port Won: Contex: Elden Ring will be dropping February 25th 2022, but if- no, you WANT to get the pre-order copies we have here at Go2Games if you want to get at the game with a couple handy-dandy extras. And lo and behold, I’ve got a blog on the different Elden Ring Pre-Order bonuses too!

Now for the story: The world and lore was largely made by George RR Martin, so imagine my shock at the primary Elden Ring setting being the creatively named “Lands Between”… LANDS BETWEEN WHAT GEORGE? Cleavage? Gatwick Airport? The British Isles? AQUAMAN!? We’ll find out during the game.

Now, to heavily paraphrase the story trailer’s narrator:

“Bruuh, like, there was these thieves. And they took the death rune. And like, I need my runes man. Like. This is like, a particular strand of death rune I’m not allergic to man. So like. If you could get it for me? That’d be great? And maybe some burgers, fried chicken, a pizza, and fix The Titular Elden Ring to prevent the fall of our society and pantheon of Gods, like, only if you’re cool with that” – The Narrator.

Also, the game’s opening NPCs really like poking fun at how you don’t have a catgirl maid waiting on you hand and foot… At least, that’s what I think “Maidenless” means, but who cares! No VaatiVidya lore analysis till you can do 50 parries with your knuckles!

I hope that Titular Elden Ring stays broken if only because I can imagine where some of you will put it, and probably not on your finger!

And FromSoftware, please try not to have such mean NPCs poking fun at the player… I mean, that’s MY job!

The post Elden Ring Story Trailer At Game Awards! Insult Explanation! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

The Golden Joystick Awards has been established since 1983, making them one of the industry’s oldest video game awards.

Since then, games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario 64, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild have all had their time in the spotlight.

The winners of this years Golden Joystick Awards 2021 has been announced. There was an additional category this year however, with an unsurprising candidate winning the award

Dark Souls is a ten-year-old game, but its influence on the gaming community and the wider industry is undeniable. While Demon Souls was the first of the iteration in the “Souls” series, it can be said that Dark Souls in 2011 led to the franchise becoming immensely popular.

The controller smashing-ly frustrating franchise was able to pocket the highly esteemed accolade of Ultimate Game of All Time thanks to the Golden Joystick Awards being a “people’s choice” award that is totally voted on by fans.

The Ultimate Game of All Time Award was added to the Golden Joystick celebrations this year to commemorate 50 years of gaming, alongside the Ultimate Hardware of All Time Award, which went to PC.

Miyezaki’s Comments on Winning

Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki stated he was “deeply moved by the award” in a Twitter post and article published by Yahoo Japan (according to Google Translate).

Miyazaki stated that the fact that fans voted for his game out of all the nominations truly amazes him. He praised everyone at FromSoftware and Bandai Namco Entertainment for their continued support, as well as the fans.

Dark Souls is renowned for its difficulty, but completing it definitely feels rewarding. It truly tests your skills as you master the games mechanics in a well-designed world, encountering memorable NPCs and defeating incredible bosses, each with their own tale. It has only continued to become popular over time, so much so that it has major influence over a whole variety of inspired games.

Other Honourable Mentions at the Golden Joystick Awards

In terms of votes, there were a few more games that were close behind Dark Souls. The winner garnered 12% of the vote, although Doom from 1993 received 11% and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild received 10%.

The Last of Us, Minecraft, Street Fighter 2, Tetris, and Halo: Combat Evolved were also nominated since they are widely regarded as among the best video games of all time.

Dark Souls can forever be remembered as the winner of the Golden Joystick Awards Ultimate Game of All Time, even though it was a close call. Many of the team who worked on Dark Souls are now working on Elden Ring, so hopefully the game will live up to its standards!

Dark Souls Remastered is current available on Xbox One. PS4, PC and Nintendo Switch. Elden Ring will be released on February 22nd 2022 and is available to pre-order from our store now! Read more about the upcoming Elden Ring here.

We’ve got a whole range of Black Friday Deals going on! Some of these titles may even remind you of the Souls series in a way.

First up is Nioh/Nioh 2. This game is a personal favourite, with lots of complex and in-depth mechanics to master through the game’s combat. Next is Kingdoms of Amalur – Re-Reckoning for the Switch, which is another good blend of Action and RPG elements.

If you’re looking for something a bit more open than the Souls series, Middle Earth: Shadow of War is an action-packed journey in the LOTR universe, which creates some memorable moments thanks to the Nemesis system. And finally, last but not least – the game that started it all. Dark Souls wouldn’t be what it is without Demon’s Souls, and you can pick the remastered edition of the game up for yourself here!

With the ‘full cross-generation compatibility’ function on Xbox consoles, one can transfer their progress on Elden Ring from one console to another. For example, if I was on Xbox One X at home, but wanted to bring my copy of the game to Tinybox Tim‘s house without losing progress, I could yeet it out the console, ram it into Timmy’s Xbox Series S, Bob’s your Uncle, Fanny’s your aunt!

Time hastens on, friend. There is no fitter moment than now.

Now with all that out the way, here’s My Personal Opinion on the Graphics Sitch: Honestly, all them are great. I say this as someone who couldn’t set up a Twitch stream, let alone a gaming PC, but all in all, good stuff all around. Now, those of you who clicked on this are probably really into super-ultra-mega-sexy high quality graphics and that’s completely cool, the heart wants what the heart wants. That said, taking this extra bit of wiggle room in my word count to say graphics aren’t always the be-all end-all of a good gaming experience. Easy to say now considering a game “looking good” is basically the barest minimum of positive praise that even most bad games today can get, but mechanics are important too. All about that yin-yang balance y’all.
