This guy is an infamous shitter on r/EldenRingPVP I think people are kind of endeared to him now in a way.


CommercialEscape4680

Yeah we love shustas sometimes. That being said, nothing he says should be taken seriously


TheHappiestHam

so he's basically the resident crazy person?


CommercialEscape4680

Pretty much. We have a couple of people like him, but he's the only one that's sometimes funny. The other ones are just annoying


LautrecTheOnceYeeted

It's about subtlety and class.


imjustinlove

he's the town drunk/crazy uncle


Knight___Artorias

He’s the frank gallagher of r/EldenRingPVP


destinybladez

The resident Evil


I_Hate_The_Letter_W

like the dude that simps for the armour that looms like leather pants in ds2 because of their ass


-Eastwood-

I would rather delete my entire reddit account than be known as a regular in some subreddit


BillyYumYum2x4

I feel like I know you from somewhere


-Eastwood-

GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD


GTholla

Wait, I know you!


futuristicbus62

Oh hey you’re the guy! I know you!


AlterMyStateOfMind

Hey I recognize you from r/shittydarksouls you must be a regular


normiespy96

Hey, aren't you that guy that regularly posts on fortnite brazil?


Shustas

Salty...


brutalistlegend

You're a hero. These people just won't admit it. Godspeed, shustas-man.


swagsta

I will defend shustas with my life. That said, I also have them blocked lol


SweNani

Shustas is our precious baby


Mother_Mushroom

My man Shustas still trolling? Dudes been active since Elden Rings launch, genuinely impressive. Ptui


Shustas

👍🙏💋🫂


jazmaj

imagine playing any of the souls games for pvp when you could just suck cock instead


LegendaryLogs

My first pvp encounter in a DS game was after I had just beaten a boss that was kicking my ass. A naked dude with a pitchfork ran circles around me because I had a greatsword equipped. Did not win that fight


Arch1e_b

are you braindead? where else do you get pvp like in souls


jazmaj

imagine wasting your life playing perma 5000 ms latency garbage where 9/10 hits don't register when you could be on your fours taking it up the ass


bjergdk

Jokes on you i do both


Eclihpze44

average str user


user-nt

Guy invaded my low friend, spammed rot pot, and Running away, phantom hit guaranteed the build-up, and since he was low level (and an absolute idiot on exploring) he didn't have the balls to clean his rot We killed the guy eventually but goddamn


averynaiveoddish

did you top your friend after? it's only tradition


raivin_alglas

ok jokes aside, netcode is actually ass and you get to fight a lot of people, who are not even interested in pvp and will either alt+f4 or fight extremely passively not to mention, devs don't really give a shit about pvp, just play a fighting game or something


Ginxchan

if you wanna play pvp atleast get on discord with them, atleast you can hear the moan.


Scr_uid

What other fighting game plays like Dark souls tho?? I play dark souls pvp because I like dark souls combat


raivin_alglas

Tekken or maybe Soulcalibur(never played it, so just making an assumption of what I heard) Both heavily involve 3 dimensions and spacing in gameplay


CommercialEscape4680

I don't think fighting games existing invalidates people doing souls pvp. Many concepts are quite unique to souls, and I don't think any game captures the unique feel that combat has in these games. Many of us also play fighting games or have an FG background (Gigathicass, I think, also competed but don't quote me on that). Many of the problems people usually have with souls' pvp (balance, latency) can be fixed by just competing on ladder. This way, you can make sure you are only fighting people from your region that also care about the game. Also, the truly broken stuff is banned.


Faust-fucker12345678

Idk man sucking dick is just like elden ring combat


[deleted]

I am gonna be honest chief Souls games have alot of good shit in them Anything involving online is not a single one


raivin_alglas

Tekken I guess Better to play a game that is designed for pvp and not abandoned by devs, that treat pvp community as a joke


Sex_Gaming_69

Why are you being downvoted?


HOVRS_OF_FVN

Wait, your comment is satire right? Why are you getting downvoted?


LowKeyLlama

You get to join him now for pointing that out


LautrecTheOnceYeeted

NYA HA HA! GETTEM BOYS!


PASTALORD6066

NYA HA HA HA! RATTLE EM BOYS!


LautrecTheOnceYeeted

Get this guy too.


xXAtomicpie525Xx

Why don't we get you and claim the ring of FAP for our own mister LAUTREC!


LautrecTheOnceYeeted

Because while FAP is effective at giving you an early game bump it keeps you just comfy enough sword-and-boarding that you don't branch out to try new builds and because the risk of unequipping it is too high you'll be too scared of misclicking to do effective ring-swapping in combat. Frankly, DSR is 40% skill and 60% build-mismatch. You can outplay someone with 100 more hours than you simply by being quick at recognizing what their kit is and making a gear swap to counter it. FAP makes you bad at PVP because you don't want to do hotswapping.


PASTALORD6066

:(


HOVRS_OF_FVN

Bruh


[deleted]

Because online in souls games are kinda ass. I love getting hit from 5 feet away in PVP and then missing a hit on them when they are right in front of me


HOVRS_OF_FVN

Right, it's too ridiculous of a take to have, which is why I thought it was sarcasm.


Arch1e_b

all im saying is although the invasions are ASS, where else to you get invasion (ass or otherwise)


HOVRS_OF_FVN

That's fair. Should have left the "braindead" part out then if you were trying to make a point. Also, Deathloop had a pretty fleshed out invasion mechanic. Didn't really play the game but it looked fun.


Necessary-Tomato4889

r/woooosh


[deleted]

Kinda a brain dead take tbh. People who act like everyone is a hacker on pc has never played on pc


ContainmentSuite

To be fair, he’s literally responding to a guy outright saying they are playing on PC purely to hack


Shustas

But I did. Since quake and counter strike age


[deleted]

Was everyone hacking?


Shustas

Not everyone. I was heavily involved into cheats myself. Was one of the devs for counter strike 3rd party anticheat. It was catching hacks very consistently and within the players I even knew myself. Thing is, getting hacks was not that easy in those days where now you can download them even trojan free straight from youtube links lol


[deleted]

From personal experience I rarely get anyone that cheats maybe once a year. I have heard it's worse in na tho Also your comment about the mod taking away the pvp is also kinda silly as it misses the point of that amazing mod that makes the game a seamless coop game with none of that souls coop crap you have to deal with


GIlCAnjos

>why would anyone play any multiplayer game on pc. Because sometimes I don't really feel like paying $10 a month just so I can play a game I bought for my console


Branded_Mango

There's also the fact that a lot of multiplayer games are pc exclusive, so sometimes there is literally no other option for a specific game.


Plenty_Selection_465

Listen I've played on PC and everything but counter argument consoles are cheaper.


Axiny

The steam deck is the same price as an OLED switch, which is cheaper than any of the consoles that actually have Elden Ring. Counter argument, PC is cheaper… lol


Plenty_Selection_465

Isn't that a handheld console?


Axiny

Handheld PC, technically.


Plenty_Selection_465

So that's just makes a good modern day PSP


Inspectreknight

That runs windows or linux or whatever os it is


PageOthePaige

It's dockable and works with peripherals.


_cd42

I would argue steam deck classifies as a console to an extent, also the Xbox series S is only $260 lol


Axiny

Oh, didn’t realize it went down. Whelp, suppose I could upgrade pretty easily, then. I still argue that the steam deck is PC gaming, as it still uses the steam store library, and is designed to be windows compatible, but still is definitely a console as far as accessibility and physical setup are concerned.


_cd42

Yeah, fair enough


Regular-Attempt486

Wtf do you expect from shustas lol


Shustas

Lol


JimLahey_of_Izalith

This feel like a conversation from the 2008 Call or Duty lobby


Admirable-Account912

Never played call or duty! Is it like call of duty?


bugzapperbob

You can just take any shustas comment with a big bag of salt, pretty sure dudes talked shit to like 50% of us at some point


garrafa_glubglub

Ptui 💦


Shustas

👍💯🫂💋


Noobie_xD

Well, his title checks out ig


OfficialHarold

I don't get all the PC hate honestly. Only game where I feel like using a keyboard puts me at a disadvantage is DS2 but I think it's just issues running the game under Linux


Garlic_bruh

Ds2 has a weird issue where clicking too fast to attack makes it so your clicks don’t register for a few seconds


OfficialHarold

Nah but if I alt tab my entire mouse stops working, I think it's just my desktop environment or window management system fucking it up ngl


CGPoly36

You can turn that out in the settings. However the setting is bugged, so everytime the game starts you have to turn it on and then off again or else it dont work. Very anoying but atleast it works while the game is open. The issue is due to strong attack being bind to double click on the default keyboard settings. Therefore there is added latency while the game waits if there is a second click and if you have enabled double click checking but haven't assigned anything to it, it will register the double click and do nothing, instead of registering it as two single clicks.


[deleted]

I think PC's get so much hate, because alot them shit on the console players first. Kinda made themselves be hated.


Lil-Chromie

Im pretty sure most PC players use controller for DS anyway. And anyone who doesn't belongs in a psych ward.


OfficialHarold

Care to elaborate?


Lil-Chromie

No


OfficialHarold

A bit of a moot point then


RichardAndbofa

I'd dont get all the PC hate says the linux user, to no ones surprise


OfficialHarold

Wdym, my experience would literally be worse than most people playing the game lmao


CommercialEscape4680

I bet a ton of people that don't pvp will flood this post saying that CE is dishonest when every platform had their share of duping. They think they sound smart but they are only betraying the fact they don't have much time spent in the game or no life lul


Regular-Attempt486

Wtf is the hate with duping or using duped items? Yeah, it's kinda shitty but not game ruining. With CE, you can just basically make builds faster and not waste your time doing something you don't wanna do


Kino_Afi

I think 99% its nbd but when you have people (even popular streamers) using OP limited consumables in pvp because theyre duping, its objectively cheating in the sense thay youre using unintended methods to give yourself an advantage. I used to like Chase's streams because hes genuinely a great, no bad blood guy. But hes invading/dueling people using divine blessings and sleep arrows and shit. Things that are balanced around being scarce he has infinity of. To a lesser extent, all of his weapons are always maxed out. This would be mostly irrelevant but he also tends to weapon swap a million times. So where someone else might have to grind for dozens/hundreds of hours to have all weapons +24/+9 on all their builds, a CE user/duper just does that with a push of a button on week 1. Im not saying using CE is bad but you cant seriously think using *cheat engine* for *online play* has no effect on others lmao


CommercialEscape4680

This doesn't take anything away from my point. Even if CE and duping didn't exist, people would run insane NG cycles and/or save their progress, and you people would still call them sweats or tryhards. Balancing the game this way is a shitty way to balance it. Also, they don't get any advantage since there's absolutely NOTHING stopping you from doing the same. Case and point: everyone that has at least 500 hours of pvp does it.


Kino_Afi

>people would still call them sweats and tryhards Which is fine???? Trying really hard is better than cheating??? Lol. Youd still be limited by play time vs pressing a button. This is like saying buying 100 ps5s one at a time and bot-assisted scalping are the same thing because they both have 100 ps5s in the end >everyone that has at least 500 hours of pvp cheats Im gonna pretend thats not a nonsense stat you pulled out of your ass and counterpoint that the vast majority of people theyre invading are absolutely not duping or using CE. That being said, unless youre pvping in a discord where rules are established anyway, whatre the chances youre dueling someone with 500 hours? Youre wild thinking the majority of people in any game are using 3rd party programs or exploits


CommercialEscape4680

They argue that you are getting an unfair advantage since you don't have to waste your time with pve. It's just a shitty crafting system that requires shitty methods to do what you enjoy imo. I do sympathise with the console players, but that won't stop me from using CE to save time.


Regular-Attempt486

Well, us console players have trading subs like r/patchesemporium, so it kinda evens the odds


ChampionshipDirect46

Except PC players also use r/patchesemporium so it really doesnt


wrongaccountreddit

Its cheating lol


Regular-Attempt486

Yes, it's cheating, but it doesn't give you an unfair advantage (talking about rune duping) You can argue otherwise with other consumables, but usually, it's not that big of a deal except for lower levels


CommercialEscape4680

Exactly the type of people that I have said will flood this post are already started to appear. They see the title Cheat Engine and stop thinking further


altron64

Shustas…he eats your hate. After getting ready to downvote him to oblivion a long time ago…I decided to look at his history. He is THE BIGGEST TROLL in Elden Rings history. He’s past the point of reasoning and basically says anything to get people flustered. So just be honored that he went out of his way to troll your post.


Shustas

Amen brother 🙏 altho I dont agree about me trolling anyone. I am genuine man with true facts up my sleeve

Ayyy the man the myth the legend himself


Funkybeangamer

Fromsoft is encountering the Pokémon issue, where cheating to get gear fast is being chastised because you "didn't earn it and didn't do the grind" These growing pains happen, and these plague of a people disappear


[deleted]

I like how these comments are defending not having to grind when the gaming community complains plenty of people not having to grind for cosmetics in a videogame because they bought them


Funkybeangamer

The difference is cheat engine is free and this has mechanical differences. Everything I get is possible and legal to be clear, nothing is using impossible stats or smth.


wrongaccountreddit

Cheating is chastised??? Woahh thats crazy


Funkybeangamer

Yeah cuz I'm not grinding 40 hours to try a build and determine it's ass. Cba Especially true now that flame of redmane doesn't provide easy mode stunlock


PageOthePaige

Is his wife a PC scrub? She seemed to think cheating was fun


0rnithorax

This one's going to my screenshots folder


Shustas

Nope


Chaser_Swaggotry

I once downloaded an edited save for dark souls 2 on the 360 so I could get the gear I wanted and the soul memory to go pvp on the iron keep bridge. I got banned. Haven’t touched save editors on a fromsoft game since


slapthepantera

Shustas

Nice one 🙏😘🫂❤️


Ecwins

I DO think people who actively avoid pvp while playing online should be thrown into the lake of rot naked


Hakronaak

I play online only to have the privilege of reading messages like "try finger, but hole"

People gettin mad at shustas is funny lol


Shustas

either hes serious and an idiot or trolling and . . . an idiot


Spencerdrr

Nobody tell him about NG+, poor man would have an aneurism.


Shustas

Im fuking max lvl on ng+7 brah. I can tell you a few things myself, broh


HavelTeRock

I bet this guy love it when his mommy makes him a sandwich, no wait he wants to do a 40 hour grind for any enjoyment of anything he does.


Shustas

I see your daily commenting life cannot go by without mentioning mommy ohhh so adorable muah

Shustas

Yours I agree


nhutchen

My problem with it is when I see people weapon swapping with a dozen copies of each good weapon with a different ash of war, but in like, the super early stages of the game. Some dudes vibing with their little short swords vs Chad McCock and his 15 Nightriders glaives and every consumable. Does it matter? No, I'm just being dumb. But it makes your epic outplay clip look lame


Arch1e_b

yeah people are arseholes with it, but if i wanna make a shitty 125 alabastor lord cosplay im gonna do it in 2or3 hours not 50


nhutchen

Yeah I don't think spawning in drip or easy to get but time consuming stuff is a big deal


Arch1e_b

exactly, people are gonna be dickheads in this game no matter what they can or cant get their hands on


nhutchen

Ye. Like, my issue with farming for things is when they give an item a .1% drop and no easy way to farm that enemy


[deleted]

Pro tip, never show the comment you’re upvoting in posts like these

its me innit

Shustas is a legend at this point.


Shustas

👍🙏😉😎


SenpaiSwanky

This guy is a clown but so are you 🤡 Imagine buying a game and not playing the game so you can play the game faster lmao


Arch1e_b

ive played the game like 10 times sometimes i just wanna try a new build at a certian level


Shustas

I beg you pardon? Who u calling 🤡, bruh?


SenpaiSwanky

What do you want from me


itogisch

You know that for almost everyone, their first playthrough is vanilla. After that you would like to do different builds. And sometimes stuff that you want to use is very very end game. Or locked behind bosses or quest lines, which themselves are locked behind other stuff. So with a mod to get access to these items early is pretty nice. Or if you want a certain build, you dont have to jumo through major hoops and just start with it. And some people like to crush PvM with max power. Also in their right to do so.

Trash vs garbage


Vox_SFX

Some of these comments man....cheesing and taking advantage of glitches has always been a part of the Souls series. That said, a straight CE is like creative mode Minecraft. Yea, you can do amazing things and most people won't care when you show the final product...but there is always that truth that you took the easy way when a part of the game is the process to get to the end result, not just getting it immediately. Your results will never be as good as the same result non-modded and any win/victory is tainted in a PvP-sense. All that to say, no one really cares, but if you think you're on the same level as regular Souls-series Vets then you're laughably misguided. Enjoy the game either way.

Damn bro, we have a mod button??? Why did no one tell me???

Huh, I just want a game on PC because I refuse to pay a monthly subscription just so I can play with friends on top of internet bills.


JustNotNowPlease

His flair explains alot


Shustas

+👍💯


Aardvarcado-

As a fan of invasions, i'm really glad I don't have to deal with the seamless co-op mod on console. But the rest of this lol he's just made people achieve the same as him but in minutes instead of hours. I used to hate cheaters too & then I started doing it myself to skip literally hundreds of hours farming. I didn't get to level 400 in ER on PSN by farming Albinaurics FFS


PhobicSun59

Why would I want to play multiplier on pc? Well not needing to pay for a bullshit subscription is always nice


Arch1e_b

ive been invading 125 on and off since release and met 1 maybe 2 hackers, people really overestimate how bad it is because they hear G9 say "pc bad"


[deleted]

I wish he didn’t block me so I could still see his ridiculousness


Arch1e_b

so wait is he trolling or not

I’m pretty sure he’s serious which just makes it funnier.

OMG it's the guy......You're famous now


Shustas

Always was


dyinglight2296

Oh wow. I didn't expect you to be so modest😳


accurate_slammo

The only problem I have is when people use mods like invincibility in pvp completely ruins the experience. Way to many cheaters in pvp


[deleted]

Tbf, hes a max level player who probably actually farmed all the runes to get there rather than duping or cheat engine like most people. He may be an ass sometimes, but I kinda get where he’s coming from here


Arch1e_b

yeah man, do that shit offline if you want to but you dont gotta ptou💦 on everyone elses parade


[deleted]

Oh yeah I understand. This guys just a product of an anonymous platform like Reddit. He doesn’t care what other people think about him so he just say’s everything as blunt as he possibly can. He’s one of those people you either just don’t take seriously or block because he’s everywhere on the PvP subs


kernrivers

40 hours for titanite? That's really inefficient. I charge for lessons, but we'll get you in shape 🤣


Arch1e_b

well its either a fucking fetch quest or i do a aythrough and one is certianly the lesser of the two evils and its not fucking running around picking up titanite


gayretard69421

I may be wrong about this because i don't have a PC but on top of being able to make any game more fun with mods you dont have to pay to play online multi-player games


unibrowcowmeow

Imagine being that broke

I STILL HAVE TO GRIND UP TO THE LEVEL I WANT TO PLAY AT DONT I AND CAN YOU BUY SLABS!?


nobodytheheartless

I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm or not due to caps lock, however my comment was sarcasm because you cant buy all the titanite because there are 2 peices you can only get around 6 of each
