[@6ixlxrd]

Most people played and beat the base game multiple times via NG+ to make sure they had the proper levels to play this. I imagine I’d be a bit irritated too if I did all that, started a whole other NG+, and got told I still gotta make it to pretty much the end of the game yet again to play it 😂. Since Elden Ring is A LOT of people’s introduction to FromSoft, many likely thought there’d be an NPC at the main hub or an option on the main menu to start the DLC.

[@mikeyswift2010]

@@6ixlxrdthen just go to another character. Your argument is ludicrous

[@aandrews667]

@@6ixlxrd Yeah, NO. If this is "A LOT of people’s introduction to FromSoft" then that is their problem since the Soulsborne games starting with the original Demon Souls have been going since 2009. I've played, completed and got all the Achievements (Trophies for Bloodborne) for everything besides the original and remake of Demon Souls, and if I remember correctly every DLC had requirements that meant to need to be pretty heavily along in the story to access it. People now Fromsoft doesn't hold your hand through their games, so expecting to be able to play it immediately is ridiculous.

[@6ixlxrd]

@@aandrews667 That’s good and all, but respectfully, it still doesn’t change anything. Elden Ring is the first open-world soulsgame and appealed to players from every fanbase because of it, to a point where a MASSIVE influx of new players who had never touched a soulsgame picked it up and fell in love with it. That’s not a “problem” as that’s a success and a great thing. Naturally, and with even the slightest crumb of common sense, you can’t expect new players to just suddenly have the knowledge of players who’ve been here since 2009 🤦🏾‍♂️.

He's immune to pretty much everything besides physical attacks

[@NAWWMANNN]

Just want to point out that you absolutely do NOT have to get 2/3rds of the way through elden ring to access the dlc. The only requirements to enter the dlc are that youve beaten mogh and radhan, and both of those bosses can be reached basically as early as you want. Radhan can be the first or at most, second main boss you fight if you want. And mogh, you can bee line right to him as soon as you beat godrick if you want to. It also doesnt matter when in your playthrough you go to the dlc. With the shadowtree blessings and the crazy amount of runes you get just from playing, you can level up faster in the dlc than in the main game. If you're still on the fence about getting this dlc, please dont think the requirements to access it are somehow super difficult to reach

[@scottcraddock1068]

So I just beat it. I loved it but I get why people are complaining about its difficulty. It is hard and you can’t grind or farm if you’re stuck leveling up depends on finding scadutree fragments which is very different for a souls game. I’ve played every souls game and can say without a doubt that the last boss is the hardest boss FromSoftware has ever made us face. He makes Melania seem easy. I didn’t start to have difficulty until after Messmer but this DLC makes Sekiro seem easy. But it does wrap up the Elden Ring story and all of the lore is finally explained. I personally love the lore of all the souls games, they make most games seem like a children’s story so I struggled for a day with the final boss and finally concluded the Elden Ring story and it’s lore.

[@Blinker485]

I beat Elden ring a couple months after launch. Haven't played since, because I'm not one to have to play it over and over. I bought the dlc this morning, but I plan to start fresh as a melee build. Last time around I went with paladin. Elden Ring was my very first souls game. So, I didn't have a full grasp on souls. Now 2 years later, having beat every fromsoft besides DS2. And playing/beating multiple souls-likes. I am going back in with a better understanding of how these games work. Last time I just op'd my character to best the bosses. Instead of doing what souls games want, and that's learning move sets, putting effort into your build, and exploring everything to open up the game. So, I probably won't make it to shadow for a while. But, I go in with a fuller grasp on the game, and look forward to a whole new experience in the land between, and beyond.

I’m fairly inexperienced and still know how easy it is to get to and be OP early. Oh, well you still have to beat Mohg first though lol.

[@Silver_633]

I think the DLC levelling system is great as it encourages you to spend time around the DLC map to improve, isolating your normal stats which else would've already well sufficed as it's content is after the end game. I used to play on xbox and got to around lv 300 ng 7+ and I didn't want to start again upon the introduction of DLC for a challenging experience, for this levelling system creates regardless. This is especially useful as I switched to PC and imported a max v1.11 game save (as I've already experienced the near entirity of the base) and won't have the drawback of being too OP for DLC while being able to access it without having to restart the experience

Nah i heard that too and now i cant figure out what he was actually talking about

[@lordknight7482]

Before you buy? I brought it like 3 months ago. Have played Elden ring like 60 hours last week. I am ready to pump it into my vein. Leaving a like and leaving. Can’t watch no spoilers of any kind

[@Joe-ti7qd]

60 hours in a week? That's NOT a flex but a red flag tbh

[@lordknight7482]

Haven’t played for 2 years. Got it on PC for mods and 4k.

Excuse me Falcon but when listing off all the perks of the new bosses, you forgot to mention if we get "bullcrap camera angles in small enclosed rooms".. this is vital information.

[@mercynotfromoverwatch]

If we don't get that in the dlc then its not faithful to the souls material.

[@washbrook45]

So refreshing to be able to pre order something in this day and age without ANY fear that it will be buggy/incomplete/total crap. Thank you so much FromSoft, you're literally the only devs/punlishers i completely trust.

[@michaelboyle7281]

8:22 I feel the exact same way. In my head I'll be like "This must be a huge secret, no one has found it" as I can see many messages on the floor and phantoms running around showing that is in fact not a secret area lol It just feels so good finding shit, cause it's also so easy to miss things small and huge. I didn't know half the game existed after my first playthrough lol, but that's what kept me coming back for more than 900 hours

This is the most hyped I've been for a dlc since the old hunters way back when! Lets go!!!!

[@billyskittles1036]

It isn’t just that the bosses are onboxiously difficult, it’s *how* they are difficult. Constant one/two-shotting you, despite getting the fragments, the bosses have 67-hit combos and they have laughably-high HP. I think this DLC is exactly why open-world games don’t need DLCs. I would rather have had FromSoftware spend this time and effor making a new game than releasing an unbalanced, beautiful mess of a DLC that seriously needs tweaking. And hey, you know what? It’s ok to call them out on bad choices. You don’t have to eat up everything they vomit out at you. The DLC is great, but the bosses and navagation aren’t.

[@ImARealHumanPerson]

[@kakagetes]

I like Elden Ring. I really want to get into it. I loaded it up yesterday and saw that i was lvl 68 and needed like 25k runes to level up. I just turned it back off and was like mehh.

[@theunderdog9353]

Elden Ring 1.5. That's exactly what I was expecting. Hidetaka really thought we would believe it was only a little bigger than Limgrave lol. I knew this thing would be huge. I'm exploring everything and I was expecting to get around 50 hours of content for that playstyle, so honestly, all my expectations are already met. I already know the bosses are gonna be cool and unique and that there's gonna be a lot of gorgeous views. The base game was perfect to me so I would not have a clue how they could improve upon it, yet I somehow believe they did. Guess we'll just have to wait and see, but my body is ready. That much I know

[@mikemcmullen5006]

All the reviewers say the map itself appears to be about that size, but they all say it ended up being functionally bigger than it looks.

It would be great if they checked off dungeons you’ve fully searched similar to how the RE remakes make the room blue when you’re done. I started manually tagging fast travel points but then would forget and it just wasn’t great. Looking forward to playing the DLC.
