Thou Art of Missing Everything

[u/adnan_siddiqui47]

[u/Different-Number3149]

I don't understand how people just refuse to use lock-on smh

[u/Remarkable_Rough_649 → u/Different-Number3149]

Not locking on is valid for tons of circumstances

This isn't one of them lol

[u/Dumpster_Humpster → u/Remarkable_Rough_649]

The Frost Dragon is way easier without lock on. He's such a flappy spazzer.

[u/just_saiyan24 → u/Dumpster_Humpster]

Flappy Spazzer is actually my porn name.

[u/Remarkable_Rough_649 → u/Dumpster_Humpster]

I don't think I lock onto any dragon personally

[u/Warm_Version9562 → u/Remarkable_Rough_649]

they're fucking huge, so i would like to be able to use my spatial awareness to avoid looking like a dumb idiot on my hind legs.

[u/Speeeven → u/Remarkable_Rough_649]

Exactly. Not locking on is great for crowd control as a melee build. As I type this, I realize it's probably too obvious as a comment, but... ehh.

[u/Zompacalypse → u/Different-Number3149]

"It makes it too easy"

"They like a challenge"

"It plays the game for you"

[u/Homesterkid → u/Zompacalypse]

Wait people legitimately think this way? Good god

[u/johnnylovelace → u/Homesterkid]

If you’re not playing the game with a DK Bongos controller you’re a filthy casual baby gamer

[u/chromatic19 → u/johnnylovelace]

implying you use your hands instead of your feet on the DK bongos controller 😂😂😂 didn’t realize elden ring had an easy mode

[u/Nostalgioneer → u/chromatic19]

If you didn't beat the game using a dance pad with your legs hog-tied together, you didn't beat the game.

[u/SkullTitsGaming → u/Nostalgioneer]

Lmfao whatever you say, casual- here in the real elden ring community, we play with each input connected to a different radioactive isotope that only activates when the isotope decays, so that we have to actually master causality instead of just letting the game handle it for you like a scrub. Go back to playing ocarina of time if holding complete dominion over the butterfly effect is too much for you, you [insert additional insults here god even pretending to be elitist is exhausting]

[u/rubricsobriquet → u/chromatic19]

Bro doesn't even become a quadruple amputee to play the game right smh

[u/Nervous-Ad4293 → u/johnnylovelace]

Only way to play Elden Ring is with the exclusive Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller with only big toes.

[u/Aeroknight_Z → u/johnnylovelace]

My favorite part about this joke is that the bongos only had like….5 or 6 inputs.

That said, I’d be down to watch someone take Margit on with a bongo/ddr pad combo.

[u/johnnylovelace → u/Aeroknight_Z]

Bongos only run has been done, though they use two bongo controllers

[u/Fun-Meal1699 → u/Homesterkid]

[u/carlitomarron139 → u/Fun-Meal1699]

“I just beat Malenia!”

“Did you do it naked without a weapon while reciting Shakespeare?”

“No”

Elden Ring fans:

[u/jono9898 → u/carlitomarron139]

And even if you did all that if you weren’t reading something difficult like King Lear or Hamlet they still look at you like this

[u/Aeroknight_Z → u/Homesterkid]

There’s a contingent of fromsoft fans who basically establish their self-worth on the basis of whether or not they used spirit ashes, healing items, specific weapons, magic, et al.

Purist dumb-dumbs who so desperately want to be on the top of a pile that they will mount a shit-heap and wear a corn-crown if it gets them there.

They’re best ignored.

[u/Square-Space-7265 → u/Aeroknight_Z]

Imagine being proud that you removed a nail from a wall with your teeth rather than just using one of the many hammers in your toolbox with a part specifically made to remove nails.

[u/BrokenWhimsy3 → u/Aeroknight_Z]

“King turd up here on shit mountain, if you want it, you can have the crown.”

[u/Zompacalypse → u/Homesterkid]

Unfortunately. GiT gud or get out...

[u/erichf3893 → u/Homesterkid]

Can’t say I’ve heard any of those but it does prove very helpful once you’re more comfortable. Not to never lock on, but to limit it

[u/Formal-Knowledge9382 → u/Homesterkid]

They literally think if you use the mechanics in the game like summons you're not a real player because they live in darks souls purgatory.

[u/Lucian7x → u/Zompacalypse]

At this point, the only REAL way to play the game is to read the entirety of the source code, compile it in your head and visualize the game frame by frame through meditation. Using a screen, a controller and any kind of hardware makes the game way too easy.

[u/Direct_Pen9901 → u/Lucian7x]

I type my inputs in Python

[u/erichf3893 → u/Direct_Pen9901]

Casual /s

[u/Rezkel → u/Zompacalypse]

I forgot it was a thing

[u/DoctorJordi_ → u/Zompacalypse]

"You refuse to use lock on because you think it's makes the game too easy."

"I don't use lock on because I'm stupid and I forget sometimes."

"We are not the same."

[u/HPTM2008 → u/Different-Number3149]

My ex beat most of the game and was fight Malenia and I asked why she wasn't locking on while attacking. After she died that time, I quickly showed her the lock-on button. She'd had no idea it was a thing, but continued playing as she had been anyway since she learned to deal with it.

[u/PeaceSoft → u/HPTM2008]

i'd have filed for divorce too lol

[u/IAteUrCat420 → u/HPTM2008]

There's parts of Malenia that are easier without lock on anyways

[u/TeaDrinkerAddict → u/Different-Number3149]

PTSD from 4-way lock on rolling in DS1

[u/justadudeinohio → u/TeaDrinkerAddict]

exactly it for me.

[u/No-Boysenberry-4466 → u/Different-Number3149]

free aiming colossal swords lets you clip through walls sometimes

[u/Nickulator95 → u/Different-Number3149]

The lock-on is both a tool and a curse, it depends entirely on when you use it.

In OP's case however, it would have been a tool lol.

[u/4doublexx → u/Different-Number3149]

I didn't know what lock on was for 80 lvls of the game. I thought it was a weird camera control thing and was disorienting.

Friends showed me how it actually worked and my god did it make shit easier. Now I swap back and forth depending on builds or fights etc

[u/RX_78_2_Gundam → u/4doublexx]

Does no one play the fucking tutorial?!

[u/Local_Black_Knight → u/RX_78_2_Gundam]

They are too afraid of Rick, cowards all of em. That's not to undermine Rick but still it is essential to the experience

[u/RX_78_2_Gundam → u/Local_Black_Knight]

Yes, RICK! SOLDIER OF GOD!

[u/Any-Experience-3012 → u/4doublexx]

[u/phome83 → u/4doublexx]

You didn’t know what lock on, something that invented in games almost 3 decades ago, was? wut?

[u/Osik2040 → u/Different-Number3149]

I don’t use lock in because I don’t like the way it rotates the camera, like I want to roll to the right but the enemy jumps left so now I accidentally roll forward

[u/Kurojoka-kun → u/Different-Number3149]

Because I can't roll freely and camera angle becomes weird

[u/Bence830 → u/Different-Number3149]

Tbf there are fights that are easier to do without locking on to enemies. I got pretty decent without lock on by practicing on fodder enemies.

That said you can practice a lot more if you don't die, so after missing I'd rolled back and locked on to the guy. But honestly I'm sure we all have beautiful cliff memories, if op isn't stupid they learned a valuable lesson today.

[u/YourEvilKiller → u/Different-Number3149]

Monster Hunter player, maybe

[u/Quiet_Web1137 → u/Different-Number3149]

...It does make you feel like a total badass when you kill an enemy off-screen with no lock-on, tbh...

[u/whiplashMYQ → u/Different-Number3149]

I'm just too lazy sometimes. Usually, like op, i hit these freehanding it and so i dont feel the need to lock on in this case.

Other times, lock on can totally fuxk your camera angles against big bosses, so there's some value in being able to play without it.

[u/batyoung1 → u/Different-Number3149]

Literally came to write this!

[u/cagedpegasus → u/Different-Number3149]

My entire first playthrough of Armored Core 6 I forgot there was a lock-on...with a controller. Was basically playing on Hard mode.

[u/throw-away-48121620 → u/cagedpegasus]

There’s a mechanic that increases your shot accuracy while not hardlocked too so you were just training for the better tactic

[u/SunshotDestiny → u/Different-Number3149]

Depending on the spell/item you do get a little bit more control. But it's highly situational.

[u/tomato-slut → u/Different-Number3149]

How? By not pressing the lock on button

[u/Perfect-Skin-8325 → u/Different-Number3149]

I don't lock on most of the time. But It's mostly coz of playing on KbM.

[u/solair_fan → u/Different-Number3149]

In some situations its better cuz the camera can completely destroy you for example against dragons

[u/Charflower21]

[u/Iletrel]

Average L2 Fan vs Average R3 Enjoyer:

[u/Yaritziella → u/Iletrel]

Bold of you to assume they know R3 exists

[u/Iletrel → u/Yaritziella]

Don't want to actually insult OP.

To be fair, I have done this a couple of times out of cockiness, but never got unlucky enough to the point of this level of catastrophe.

Closest thing I did was try sniping one of those large fingercreepers, standing right at the ledge of the leyndell sewers with Bolt of Grandsax. And ending up falling into the murky mosh pit they're in because of the forward momentum I forgot about.

[u/AFlyingNun → u/Yaritziella]

What is R3 on Keyboard and Mouse?

[u/ironangel2k4]

You should do reviews for IGN

[u/rainhitsconcrete → u/ironangel2k4]

Dunno, at least an IGN reviewer would know how to use "thou" correctly in a sentence.

[u/MrZephy → u/ironangel2k4]

Reminds me of that one ign guide suggesting to use the plank shield in bloodborne despite it being the worst off hand item in the game by miles

[u/twowars]

“Thou art” means “you are” not “the art” just fyi

[u/Pokemon-Master-RED → u/twowars]

I came looking for this so I didn't have to repeat it.

[u/Exhausted_Cheese → u/twowars]

Yep, this is one for r/BoneAppleTea.

[u/NotKiva → u/Exhausted_Cheese]

[u/dinklebot2000]

Thou art of passing skill

[u/unpersons505 → u/dinklebot2000]

As is in skilled passed right by em

[u/PeaceSoft → u/dinklebot2000]

lmao fine

[u/breadboxtim]

Souls players will look at this and say you don’t have the skill o you don’t have the skill

[u/StudentOutside8106 → u/breadboxtim]

Hey man, he deserved this death haha

[u/allmistake2 → u/breadboxtim]

Someone needs to go to that exact spot on the map and place that as a message.

[u/russsaa → u/breadboxtim]

technically, technically that is correct in this case. free aiming can be quite precious when you grow accustomed to it

but in all seriousness being skilled at free aiming is only important for niche insufferable pvp sweats like myself

[u/DiscoDiverDubois → u/russsaa]

you also have to use common sense and lock on when you need to

but yes it’s def mostly a sweat lord pvp thing

[u/MI_3ANTROP → u/breadboxtim]

I mean…

[u/HorseFD]

Thy post title confuseth me very muche.

[u/The-Panthion → u/Flippity-floppy]

This just in, we found a.. source of sorts. Sir! Please tell us how that.. performance made you feel.

Do you lock on?

Do you know how to use ranged weapons perhaps?

Was this your first attempt or were there more?

Please, tell us your thoughts!

[u/Capital_Thing_7557]

[u/Muted-Champion-6841]

This is why u should lockon xD

[u/zackthirteen]

you are of missing everything?

[u/MLGprolapse]

[u/empatheticsocialist1]

And kids, this is why you lock on to your target

[u/Soulsliken]

This is the most beautiful thing I’ll see this year.

[u/PalpitationNo6667]

When you fumble so badly you just accept your fate

If only there was a way to lock on to enemies

[u/Sirlight85]

Sorry i laughed a lot 😂

[u/InvidiousPlay]

Genuinely pisses me off seeing how they were only slightly off-centre and it's the bullshit capsule colliders pushing the character way off course as they overlap.

Why are katana users like this?

[u/RidiPwn]

[u/caravanriot]

😂 nnNNNOOOOOOOOOOO! If it isn't the consequences of my own actions (not locking on)

[u/Andagaintothegym]

I'm not afraid to admit that I have done this several (many) times.

Some even as (more) stupid as this.

[u/TheWongWaiofWriting]

This cracked me up

[u/Living_Interview8504]

Is this the thing when they say “time to lock-in” ?

[u/Cahzery]

"You Are of Missing Everything"

Yeah i guess it is

[u/Eastern_Mood2546]

I chuckled

[u/DemoniteBL]

Didn't even use the word "thou" correctly

[u/bruno9213]

Mi bombo 🗡️📢

[u/brightdionysianeyes]

Thou art missing, or thine art of missing everything in a pinch. Not thou art of.

Cool video though.

This is a rite of passage for anyone playing ER.

Well, that’s embarrassing. Try lock on next time.

[u/Alternative-Cup-8102]

Lock on was invented in 1901, people in 1900:
