This Zelda Fanboy is Still FURIOUS About Elden Ring 

bros got scarlet brainrot

Man someone was really upset they couldn't beat the Tree Sentinel.

It's 2023 and people are still producing Elden Ring salt.

The funniest part is that elden ring has 5 million more copies sold than tears of the kingdom

“Anti Nintendo agenda” is CRAZY

He was right about one thing. Shadow of the Erdtree IS a proper sequel and is just an expansion.

a year after this video TOTK sits at ~20.61 million copies sold, and Elden Ring is sitting at ~25 million. “on its way to outselling Elden Ring” my ass

People must be trolling him on his videos and social media by saying Zelda is a dying brand to get him to flip out in his videos

I rolled my eyes the moment I saw Harman Like goddamnit, his stupidity is as deep as his apparent sexism

You missed one critical thing about our guy Harman here: he DEEPLY cares about other people’s OPINIONS. “Oh these people are saying TOTK isn’t good” it’s like bruh who the actual fuck cares? People can like certain things and not like other things. Why do you care so much? Why are you getting so pressed over it?

I still remember the online meltdown people had when Jim Sterling rated BOTW 7/10. One of the factors for that score was the weapon degredation system the game had, which I think is also in TOTK.

And then comes Baldur's Gate 3 and completely shatters his Goty illusions 😂

I just wanna point out how the name “Bartholomew” fits this man perfectly

20:25 I put a lot of time into BotW and its weapon durability not having any actual compensations was one of my _BIGGEST_ problems with it.

Looking back on this video, he wasn't far off with Shadow of The Erdtree being a sequel... It's massive💀

Well I mean his opinions were completely invalidated… Totk- 20.28 million copies Elden ring- 25 million copies Elden ring SotE- 5 million copies Nintendo- Absolute disgrace to the gaming community FromSoft- Beloved and respected by nearly everyone, and still only on the way up.

Man thinks that anything that isn't Nintendo is, *irrelevant*

He acts like we don’t like both

ER is just proof for all the fanboys that say games don't sell on PC because people pirate them. Well, if you make a good game people will buy it, no matter the platform. SAme with Zelda, it is a good game and people buy and play it, even if it launched on a 6 or 7 yo hardware

This man describes marketing like it's a presidential race, I didn't realize me buying Elden Ring was me casting a vote for the next videogame president

Hearing him say that there’s a release date for his book is kinda surreal ngl.

How about they're both good games?

Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Their appearance as a common plant was in the mid-Cretaceous period. There are 12,000 species now. [1] A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. That is because they are wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated, so they do not have to attract insects. Green is the best colour for photosynthesis. Grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant cover 40.5% of the land area of the Earth, except Greenland and Antarctica.[2] Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. They include the "grass" of the family Poaceae, which are called grass by ordinary people. This family is also called the Gramineae, and includes some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[3] These three families are not very closely related, though all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a similar life-style. With around 780 genera and around 12,000 species,[1] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family, after the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae.[4] The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[5] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion). Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Their appearance as a common plant was in the mid-Cretaceous period.

Dude is finally releasing Jaw of the Dragon.

Speaking for most Zelda fans, we don't claim this man.

Crazy, why can’t we just be happy we have two great games for more people to play

I like how he’s say’s All fromsoftware games are open world When Elden ring is the only open world The others are like metroidvania ish I would know I’ve played all of them lol 😅

I swear this guys favorite word is “downplay” and as a massive fan of the band downplay I think he should keep their name out of his mouth lmao

I’m a Zelda fan boy who loves Elden Ring

I’m pretty sure I could catch bro praying to a shrine of Mario

Is that dude ever open up his eyes

I remember watching the great mouse detective as a kid (about a decade ago actually), but I never saw the ending. Might be time to revisit it.

Nintendo fanboys, Sony Fanboys, Xbox Fanboys, PC Fanboys... how does a person avoid becoming one of these?

That Wolfenstein II punchline was amazing. Best laugh I've had in a while

They should rename him to Harman Sniff because he loves the smell of Nintendo's farts.

TOTK dungeons are a far cry from what they were previously I mean by puzzle based, spirit temple was fun but all the other 4 were just bland to me, activate 5 gongs/vents/etc to open boss door, bosses were great tho, especially colgera fire music too.

It’s funny because honestly I personally love BOTH of these games. They’re both fun and sometimes challenging in their own unique ways. Like as much as enemies scare me sometimes in Elden Ring, NOTHING compares to that signature guardian piano intro man. The first time I heard that theme I was SPOOKED. 😭

Hell Nah, now in 2024 after the dlc expansion. It feels like a sequel. So many bosses (you can argue its MONUMENTAL difficulty. I think the pace can be fun. I summon so it feels like a Raid boss, although in my 2nd fresh save, trying not to.) Tears and Botw ARE good games, for zelda games they’re absolutely a massive ramp up. But a Puzzle game with some combat in comparison to a hefty lore, fun weapons skills, deep combat, easy to understand and fun RPG elements (MOST of the time), and more than just a few memorable characters HAS to elevate Elden Ring. For me at least. Metacritic gave ER a 97, Hard agree, aside from like 3 bosses (2 of which are optional) who kinda suck to fight imo. The game is ABSOLUTELY a masterpiece.

I see the surgery to have his rectum replaced with a switch dock was successful, here's wishing you a steady recovery Harman Smith.

This guy probably complained when Jeff Gerstman gave Twilight Princess an 8.8. Remember when that broke the internet?

This is like the guy who argued EVERY GAME needs a custom character creator in regards to titanfall 2 pvp gameplay. Missing the point that the simplicity of the visuals is a major reason we like titanfall 2 and not Apex.

Just found this video after it’s been out over a year and it’s even funnier than it would have been when it came out lol

Great mouse detective was brilliant, I remember Joe!

I thought BotW was a 7/10 at best, but TotK improved so much on it. It's genuinely great game, but I'd knock off a little bit over performance issues. That said, Elden Ring is also great. Why compare them? They're very different games, so who cares? Side note: I started playing BotW again on my Steam Deck with the unbreakable weapons cheat turned on. That makes the game more fun, but BotW still isn't really enjoyable enough for me to pick it up often.

Am I the only one whose never seen anyone talk about Zelda in relation to Elden Ring other than this guy? As far as I can tell no one cares.

Gonna be honest harman i got 70 hours in botw and I never wanted to go back, it’s pretty boring imo, glad totk fixed it

Zelda is the reason I got into demons souls back when I was 13 lol Bro needs the elden lord of therapists lmao

I like it when someone is super-into something that I don’t play. I could listen to a passionate person talk about their interests all day long.

Just gonna say that Ubisoft was a fair comparison for Breath of the Wild. It was very Ubisofty, same with plenty of other open world games that are well loved. The Ubisoft formula for open world games has been massively profitable while also getting stale. I remember the time when most FPS games were compared to Doom and just called Doom clones. Success gets copied. Bartholomew cannot seem to comprehend that. BOTW may have had some derivative elements, but did enough of its own thing to be so successful.

Harman's rant about Elden Ring and Sony might be to do with the fact that Sony own a fairly large piece of FromSoftware AND a small piece of FromSoftware's parent company.

Big ups the Great mouse detective, one of two movies that started the Disney Renaissance.

watching after SOTET is out and watching it be good enough to basically be a stand alone game is hilarious

Next time Harman makes a video about Elden Ring, I wouldn't be surprised he slanders it because he thinks Jaw of the Dragon has more detailed and better lore than ER.

Recently ive heard a sad story that current zelda lore, thanks to tears of the kingdom, has gone completely off the rails and that elden ring is gaining people. Zelda refugees it seems.

Why exactly would Zelda fans be mad about Elden Ring? Like, does the existence of Elden Ring somehow prevent Zelda from existing?

„The anti Nintendo agenda“ the level of delusion is palpable lol

Ok I didn't think it was gonna be as bad as it was, I checked out the guys channel......he releases like 3-5 videos that are between 3-12 mins EVERY DAY. Even after a full year since this video I think I saw him mention elden ring like 35 times in the last 14 days. He also continues to try and say that X game (which hasn't come out yet and we've only seen trailers) is going to be better than Y game (which hasn't come out yet and we've only gotten to see trailers). Also WOW does he fit the stereotype of every bad thing people think of gamers. You know how I said most of his videos were 3-11 mins? How about his vids on anime type stuff? 2-9 hours and I'm literally not kidding. I only went back 2 weeks genuinely. This is more than fromsoft living rent free in the dudes head, fromsoft has been handed a master key and is sub-letting the extra rooms for profit.

The Great Mouse Detective is one of my favorites as well. There's also the rescuers, The Rescuers Down Under and An American Tail

I am still glad that Nintendo and Rare are still in sync even after all these years. You can see the amount of influence on the direction and mechanics in games from both sides.

The Great Mouse Detective is awesome, watched it a lot as a kid.

This dude is an energy vampire, damn.

Majora's mask used sooo many assets from OoT, and it was fine. we still loved both.

Rip Vincent Price. Loved him as Professor Rattigan

All i think is dude, we have tears of the kingdom and elden ring. What a time to be alive

I like zelda, I like Elden Ring. They are 2 different games, that does 2 different things, not sure why one game doing well hurts their identity so much

This man wants a monopoly on gaming lmao not to mention Miyazaki literally said breath of the wild inspired elden ring that’s what art and good games do they give other talented people ideas to bring to their game

He sounds like he watches news and gets angry about things that are not real.

His video aged HORRIBLY now that SotE is out 😭😭😭

There were some games that got labeled Zelda copies that were not that and were amazing in their own right such as Dark Cloud. What he was sayin the industry conspired against Zelda they were actually conspiring for it

HOLY SHIT DID YOU JUST GUVE A POSITIVE SHOUT OUT TO THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE?!?!Woooo baby I think I’ll be sticking around here!!!

I played 30 minutes of Zelda and went back to play ER. I like the Zelda games but I didn’t give me the same feeling of success that ER does

My fav game of all time is a zelda game (albeit an old one), but elden ring and its dlc is some of the most fun ive had gaming in YEARS.

Whoa whoa whoa. This guy gets views in the double and triple digits and your worried about his take?! Dude literally almost no one cares about his take😂 is it even worth addressing? To what disprove this one salty guy? He doing that on his own, enjoying your favorite TV show hurts his channel more than talking about it😂😂😂

As a Zelda fan, I don't consider this guy as one of us.

Even though they said they had no future plans for DLC, I know they do because they have to make a third gesture to complete the pattern. They cant leave it at two.

Lmaooooo coming here after Shadow of the Erdtree dropped, sizewise that shit was a whole ass sequal of a game.

I love watching your videos!!! Keep up the great work!

As a Zelda fanboy, this dude doesn’t speak for us. I’ve played the heck out of Elden Ring, and still am to this day

Wait, was someone else talking in the video? I wasn't paying attention

Bro is so cooked I have literally never heard or seen Elden ring be compared to Zelda

Literally “proof? My proof is I made it the fuck up.”

The ponies did say repeatedly that Horizon was better than Zelda. They also said Forbidden West was better than Elden Ring. That is probably the only truthful thing harmon has said in this entire video

Im absolutely convinced that guy is just doing it for kicks and views. The only reason I dont play fromsoft games is because of the difficulty. I just dont enjoy that kinda thing. Might try elden ring since im a massive fan of open world games. It's why origins is my favorite game to play.

If emulating BotW removes the motion controls I may actually try it to give it a fair shake. Elden Ring was the third open world game I really took to, the first being Witcher 3 up until that I stuck to shooters and DMC. BotW looked interesting enough but those motion controls made a Switch purchase a hard no for me

Harman Smith < Harman Smith from Killer 7

What I don't get is that Nintendo seems to have all these ride or die fans but Nintendo will turn right around and sue the everloving shit out of them if they dare made a mod or a fan game based on any of their IPs.

If you close your eyes and think about bow ties, he sounds like Tucker Carlson

He does really look like a Nintendo fan doesnt he lol

Is it just me, or were his eyes closed the entire time. Are we sure he doesn't have actual mental issues?

been a zelda fan my hole life its my favorite fanchise. ive played every game with TP being the first video game i ever played. i love botw and totk but i honestly consider elden ring to be the better rpg (personal prefrence) i like the sand box do it your self idea of the new zelda but they dont scratch the going in a grand quest to save the day vibe the older games gave me. elden ring dose in a way i dont understand and got me into souls as a hole. after playing Ds3 i realised how inspierd by old zelda thise games are and honestly i think any zelda fan who hates on thise games just simply hasnt tryed them or is too stubborn to see that them finding it too hard dosent make the game bad.

22:00 I've said that I'll say it again.

Here from the future when Shadows of the Erdtree came out. The dlc may as well have been a sequel.

This is my first time learning this guy exists and he sounds EXACTLY like i thought he would

Bro missed an opportunity to show elden ring gameplay while the dude is complaining about elden ring ring.

I humbly accept this canine companion at 8:59 Also! -- - PUMBYYYY!!!! : D

In the end elden ring outsold tears of the kingdom. Not really invested in it, but I find it funny.

Coming in a year later the legend of zelda game in question he kept copign about saying was goign to outsell elden rign only sold 20.28 million copies, edlen ring sold 25 million copies ans 12 million in thr first month compared to zeldas around 6 million in a month

8:02 I was very skeptical about TotK after thinking BotW was just ok, but I ended up really loving it. I guess that's means my concerns are "fake outrage" and that I'm a "pretendo" or whatever the fuck.

To tell you the truth I never played any Zelda game, but Souls games were the ones that I never thought I would get into and now I'm hooked to that style of gameplay. After beating Elden Ring many times I decided to play Dark Souls 3. Such amasing game. Currently playing ER dlc. I'm planing to give Bloodborne a try later on.

21:31 Hyrule Warriors actually came out in 2014 initially. The first one, at least. (I actually just bought Definitive Edition because that's starting to jump up in price.)
