MMOEXP: Watching someone complete Elden Ring
We're one month removed from Elden Ring Runes release, which is probably the most Souls-like from FromSoftware so that time, and the action RPG remains on peoples' minds. It's still on my radar although I did manage to get out of The Lands Between briefly to play Ghostwire: Tokyo. I am awed by the characters and the world of Elden Ring, but I've never imagined them appearing in Tekken 7. The itch, if there ever was one--has been scratched by a modder who thought it'd be cool to see people like Melina and Radahn pummel each other in a different setting.
A modder known as Ultraboy took it upon themselves to change a variety of Tekken 7 characters with folks who you fight in Elden Ring. It's dubbed "The the Ultimate Elden Ring Mod," and available from the site Tekken Mods, it swaps traditional fighters such as Kunimitsu as well as Lidia for Malenia and Melina respectively. The Starscourge Radahn too is included (as wrestling champion Marduk) as well as the Ethereal Stall Torrent (replacing Kazumi's tiger) together with four other Elden Ring characters.
Watch the video above. Do you remember seeing "Ranni the Witch fighting the shit out an Tarnished inside the Raging Wolf armor set" on your bingo card? I certainly didn't. Bandai Namco published both games and it's possible to think that there are "lore reasons" to allow the two worlds to cross over. It's not the first time Tekken has made a crossover, and it certainly isn't its first mod. However, I'm slightly distressed to think that Radahn is now kicking my side on each of Elden Ring and Tekken.
Since the mod is absurd, it's caught the attention of Tekken Director and Producer Katsuhiro Harada, who's been tweeting about it in a seemingly favorable manner. But, it appears Harada is a little annoyed by the number of "misunderstandings" which can result when players use mods and then complain about bizarre "bugs" at Namco Bandai's customer support.
People are trying all kinds of ridiculous things with Elden Ring Runes for sale FromSoftware's latest, like summoning giant enemies that you cannot normally summon up as well as making it way more difficult than it is already. The mod transforms it into a bizarre nightmare, featuring Homer Simpson fighting Shrek and Donkey. Keep coming up with the bizarre modders. I'm here to support it.
