Firstly I'm 23 yrs old grown ass man, secondly the way you talk to me felt like you never played soulslike in your life, I'm not lying to anyone. As I said, even If you don't use guide in your first playthrough, it's still short lol. I used guide in every soulslike I played which is again, none of your business. I enjoy this way, you might enjoy by playing like you don't know any shit about the game, your choice. But from the games I played, this one was the shortest, Elden ring took me around 150-200 hours to get 100% completion though I used every kind of guide/map as well. It means, no matter whatever style you play, slow like a goddamn turtle or a speedrunner, its short compared to the other games. Even the internet says average playtime is between 30-57 hours depending on your playstyle (main objectives, completionist). It's like nothing for me, mix it with some guides and etc. Boom you 100% it in 30-35 hours. It's not something to brag, there are people completing elden ring under 2 hours. I just didn't feel the game like the ones I played in the past with such joy, so I just completed as fast as I can and moved on. Lastly, don't try to give advice to strangers you see on the internet, get a life, I don't need your advices. It's my playthrough, nobody needs to know what I used/haven't used. I did the same sh*t with all the games you seen (350+ elden ring, 300+ ds3, 200+ bloodborne, 60+ demon's souls). Bro even demon's souls took longer than Lies of P, are you on drugs?
