![]() Surveying the fallout of this video among his chosen few on Discord, Reynolds simply says: "I like how I manage to piss off literally everybody." When you see something like this, with the claims it makes, that's probably the best thing to bear in mind. that remains to be seen, and you'd want better proof than a textbox in a Cheat Engine. He is undoubtedly pulling some dodgy stuff in Elden Ring but the idea this is something for the average player to be worried about, or that he's softbanning players by the hundreds. A notorious hacker whos been slaughtering and softbanning players in Elden Ring has said hes a 'necessary evil'. This guy is undoubtedly a grade-A asshole, but the lies are kind of the point: the angrier folks get about them, the more they worry about this stuff, or argue about his motivations for doing it, the greater the troll. "I think the best part is everybody thinks I try to be a white hat hacker or some shit like that. Time to go mobile."Īfter giving Kotaku such quotes, Reynolds booted them from his Discord ("had to get rid of him before he learned the truth") and started lolling it up with his acolytes. If I pull it off will the game die? I don’t think so, but maybe Bandai will fix it. "You might be asking if getting caught is part of the plan, and yes it is. ![]() "I’m necessary evil," he told Kotaku about this current video (opens in new tab). The guy cheats because he thinks it's funny, and pretending that it's inspired by wanting FromSoftware to combat cheating is a kind of sideshow that makes it even funnier. Part of the gameplan is just to piss people off by saying ludicrous stuff, which I have to admit Reynolds is quite good at. It's just not as simple as people make it out to be… People that play Dark Souls know so little about they game they play, but it's so easy to spread a rumor. The remaster includes the Artorias of the Abyss expansion and improved graphics, lightning, shading, and sound effects and runs at 60 frames per second on both consoles and PC. ![]() "But yeah softbanning is definitely a real thing. "There's only a few small ways you can actually get a person's save flagged, and it isn't just by hitting them or entering their world. "I do it, just not the way people say I can," Reynolds told RPS in 2018 (opens in new tab). Nothing Reynolds says to media outlets should be taken at face value, though Rock Paper Shotgun did an interview with him a while back that had an interesting digression on softbanning (which then, as now, was behind a minor community panic). While there's no doubt people are using these cheat engines to go into other peoples' games and wreak havoc (heck, Dark Souls III even has a popular mod that purely combats cheaters (opens in new tab)), it does seem that their "powers" for want of a better term can be (and often are) overstated.Īnd it is of course in a troll's instincts to not only overstate but to outright fabricate. ![]() I've been into these games for a long time, and have seen controversies over softbans flare up again and again: the only thing is, you almost never see any proof of it actually happening. The whole notion of softbanning is pretty questionable. ![]()
