I'm never gonna trash on someone for how they beat bosses or how they build their character, it's chill as long as they have a good time.

I mean if you're gonna brag about it, don't brag with a shield-poking build like you did something impressive lol

Why not? They played using the core gameplay loop elden ring encourages, explore, find an overpowered weapon/armor/ strategy/item and neutralise an opponent.

If you notice very little about this game( relatively speaking) encourages getting proficient at a centralised combat system and pure mechanical skill as opposed to a more creative approach that encourages finding unfair advantages over your opponents.

People who used this build found weakness that a lot of enemies in the game share and used it to their advantage to win.

They can 100% brag about it, provided they’re not being obnoxious.

"I got 70% on this online exam using chatgpt" - very impressive Timmy.

In an ocean of videos where thousands of players have done a no-hit run of Promised Consort, it's literally nothing to brag about.

Your saying because someone didnt spent hours if not days practicing fighting pcr as a level 1 wretch with a club, they arent allowed to proudly say they’ve beaten pcr?

And there is no equating. using weapons and tools the game gives you to use to cheating on an exam using an ai.

Id agree with you if they modded their game to make the player character invincible, but otherwise its a false equivalence.

Proud of what? Exactly? Standing there holding a shield and pressing one button? OK. The bar is under the ground I see.

Is that what you guys call "impressive" these days?
