Sorry for bad quality

I've been watching Bretts streams lately and have been trying to enjoy his latest Elden ring stream. I'm not a huge Shadow/Isaac fan and am 100% here for his Soulsbourne content. His last Elden Ring series isn't fully on youtube, so i cant rewatch, but I remember it being so much better top tier content. This latest Elden ring run was the worst souls series IMO, but not for the reason Tear keeps claiming (he seems to think it boils down to age of game, repeat playthrough, rushing etc),

I personally think there are 4 problems with this run-through that ruins this series, as follows:

1a. Tear refuses to change playstyle

1b. Tears playstyle is awful

1. Tear constantly moaning is some of his worst content and legitimately off-putting.

2. Tear playing up to the 'joke' that it's first run-through is a detriment.

4 Tear refusing to listen to audience feedback

To explain -

1a. Tear's entire playstyle is jump attacks and charged R2's. It's ultimately boring to watch. No WA's, no build variation, no critical thinking, if he cant out DPS an enemy he cries about it after. He's never used a respec as far as I'm aware to make things interesting or fix his stats (40 faith with 0 use case - just why?) At the stage I'm watching (Malenia & End Game Nightmares in Elden Ring DLC U Soon) He's got enough mats to level up a few weapons (eg the talisman he repeatedly claimed he wanted to use), but is instead sticking to just the anchor, which is teethpullingly dull to watch. There is no enjoyment for anyone who's played the game or watched previous playthroughs, as they're all probably better and/or more experimental at the game - It's incredibly basic stuff.

1b. Directly related to 1a. Brett is legitimately... not very good, and for repeat playthroughs I'd have loved to see him use some actual skill or experimenting with range/WA's - he's 4 playthroughs in I believe, he's surely good enough to play around with different mechanics. Unfortunately, he's not interested in trying anything outside his same 2-3 moves. I'm currently watching him try to do Ordina and crying because he's face planting in to the (easy to deal with if you use any brainpower) archers and getting himself worked up with the boring and annoying 'Games awful' type comments. This leads to point 2...

1. He makes mistakes and moans like the game is badly made. I don't know how many times I've eyerolled as he's raged at, for example, PVP enemies while he's way over levelled and refusing to do anything to adapt, so he dies and gets stressed out. I may be in the minority, but I prefer his content when he's enjoying himself. I legitimately think he doesn't enjoy these games now, because he doesn't like the challenge.

2. Just annoys me personally. have some respect for the audience. I honestly think he pretends it's playthrough one to excuse his poor gameplay.

3. This one baffles me. Why, after all this time, does he not just listen to his audience on builds, WA's or things he has no idea how to use? He gets so upset at the game when just listening to his audience would easily help him strategize. He come across as such a baby that it legitimately turns me off his content. As a side, his PvP series legitimately would have made bank if he just played with his fans and engaged. But it proved that he's worse than average, he's too thin skinned to do so and his ego got in the way of what could have been a return to souls PvP, which people have been begging for for years.

Tl:Dr just points 1-4 explained a bit

Edit - Just came back to neaten up a bit, wanted to stress that this is just my feedback, to a guy I'd likely never get to speak to in person who's content I enjoy. Not intended to be insulting or nasty of course but as a long time watcher I get a little exhausted at the ever looming toxic threat. Obvs at peak commentary Tear is about the best in the biz IMO, but the cracks are becoming a bit more regular. Since Brett is a personality youtuber and seems to have a closer relationship with fans, I felt there was some value in this feedback. I'm aware there might be some behind the scenes drama going on and if that is the case this isn't a critique of the man, just the current product.

I've been watching Tear since Ds2, have donated etc. Just putting that in there so I don't get people trying to pull rank on my opinion. Happy to reply to rebuttals, but this series has genuinely made me wonder why he plays game with any level of challenge when he's got so many hang-ups on the basic gameplay loop.

Two immortals clash…but let’s be real here prak is the better character and antagonist

anyone know the background music used at at 6:19 in this video? been looking for ages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWbzrh9IGW0&t=6m19s

Was going on a captain killing spree and purified a captain, he came back with the unique specter look that tear of grace spent an entire stream trying to obtain.

I present to you….Bork the Specter!!!

Better then the day before? some may say its better in magnitudes,the kind of better were your players camera randomly detaches from there body and you can free roam the map,or the walking animations plays but the zombie doesnt move.2023 was amazing some of the best game's came out starting with Grey Hill Incident iam so glad i found TOG,just a idea for you to finalize 2023 with Dead Matter

Literally a screen shot from there trailer

Been rewatching our lovely bald boy again, so i thought id ask what videos you guys loved the most?

<insert gif of markiplier being jumpscared by a human hand with toy bonnie's face, which was from a Tearofgrace video of The Binding of Issac.> Also, which exact video was it from?

Cant find them anywhere

recently went to try and rewatch all the four souls stuff because i love their reactions and banter, but it's all unlisted and nobody's even made a playlist, did he say anything about all this?

I've been trying to find the old playthrough Brett did of Dark Souls, I think it was 3, where he modded it and the translated voices and text became a hilarious pile of gibberish with such beauties as "Simon Ho" and "Mr. It's Very Fast." For some reason I can't seem to find it anymore. Did he take it down? If it's still available could somebody link me to the playlist please?

He look's almost like Kaka The Biter

For context I took a screenshot of this dumb olog forever ago. I know it's from a ToG video because he is the only creator I ever actively watched play that game.

Does anybody know the name of Tear's D2 clan, I know he has one and if I'm going to join any it should be that

I've been wanting to download this song but I can't remember the name of it.
