Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Review - Kinda Funny Gamescast

[@josht5248]

Shadow of the erdtree: like givin a baby a second lemon -Andy 😂

[@TobyRawal]

Just wanna shoutout Tim for getting straight to the point when he hosts. Some episodes of KF take 10+ mins of talking about nonsense before the actual topic starts. Tim is there usually 3-4 mins max, and it’s great, keep it up!

[@pyre9701]

I agree, but think they should cut it down even more lol 2 mins max please

[@claytonlinden]

@@pyre9701 yeah id really prefer if the hosts had zero personality and no lives outside of the game the are reviewing. Tbh we could just cut the chatter completely and every podcast just ends after they give the score. No funny business am i right?????

70 hours into Elden Ring here and I’m new to Souls likes. I’m heading to Layndell and I’m lvl 85 with the Dark Moon Greatsword. Loving the game, exploring as much as I feel I can as I go along!! Thanks for your input as I’m still undecided on the dlc purchase!

[@robertwhiteley-yv1sy]

Welcome to the souls community. These games will ruin other games for you because no other games will scratch that feeling of genuine accomplishment. Play bloodbourne.

After playing the dlc now, Andy not finding any new weapons that clicked is wild. The new weapons are so cool and theres insane variety now

[@taylorjack2130]

Andy I’m confused, what was the point in the recent build up playthrough if you just used your old character on new game +1? Also did you play through the whole thing AGAIN on +1 to activate DLC?

[@yonnyboy]

probably so he can stream it when it actually releases?

[@TheAndyCortez]

@@yonnyboy exactly this!

[@TheAndyCortez]

i used my first character for DLC review so that my stream character would be ready for stream playthrough. yup 100%. in my off hours, i used my first character to speed through godrick, rennalla, rykard, radahn, and mohg

Honestly, Elden Ring is the best entry to the genre. It's an aquired taste for sure

[@jakecampbell9517]

I agree. Its just the type of game I absolutely despise. But appreciate from a distance

[@DFTNSHEXGRM]

I used to feel the same.. Now I don’t. These games are amazing.. they are hard and ruthless but I said damn it I’m going to get better at these and I still struggle with them, but exploring these worlds is so much fun. There’s nothing quite like it in gaming right now.

[@mikem2253]

As someone who never played any Souls except Demons Souls (only beat one boss then dropped it), Elden Ring is easily the best one to give a go with.

[@drevsgames1172]

Just try one out you might be better at it than you think!

[@ampmvideotv]

The PS4 version running on PS5 doesn’t have the performance issues of the PS5 native version, per Bless and Barett’s comments

Love the convo. This is what made Elden Ring amazing to begin with. 9.5/10/9.0. All three scores are great and I'm just overall excited to get back into the world. Jacksepticeye is very fun to watch play FromSoft games, btw. Deff check him out as he's just a big fan as well. He knows the game fairly well and loves his Bonk build. lol

[@danielwoods3896]

Idk, I didn’t really enjoy his playthrough. He pretty much speed ran the game while cheesing every boss.

[@hussainchoudhury8846]

Great, balanced coverage. Well done guys!

[@mattc1143]

I’m only 8 mins into the review but I’m now even more hyped for this expansion. The worst part is that I started a new character to avoid NG+ and I’m not gonna be ready for it by Friday.

[@QuietBoringNerd]

I don't think I have a phobia of the hands, like Bless. However, I think I wet myself in the cellar, where the Dung Eater is in the base game. I was not expecting it to jump out of ankle high water!

[@GlennVP]

Does anyone know if the new leveling system persists into New Game+? For example, if I get to level 10 in the DLC levels on New Game, will I start at level 10 in the DLC content in New Game+?

[@CrownlessStudios]

I don't think we know that yet, no

Btw most op weapons have been nerfed in the 1.12 patch so don't even think of abusing blasphemous blade it can't knock down enemy anymore and dark moon greatsword also has been nerfed. Also moonviel

[@DFTNSHEXGRM]

I dunno how I feel about deducting 0.5 from the score because it didn’t make you feel as excited as the original, when you just played thru the original leading up to the DLC.. Maybe had you not just played thru Elden Ring all the way through again, you would feel more “excited”? I haven’t played the game since release.. I booted the game up last week just to get back into the feel of things and I’m incredibly excited for the DLC now and getting to experience more of this world because it feels so fresh and new again having taken such a long break from the game.. I also just feel it’s an unfair dock on any game to say the sequel doesn’t give you the cloud 9 level of excitement as the first game.. That’s just the nature of sequels, it’s practically impossible to capture that again no matter how great a game, movie, book, or album is..

Dang, a Fromsoft DLC is 30-50+ hours long of high quality content for $40. Meanwhile Hellblade 2 is only 5 hours long for $50, a “game” where you are mostly watching cutscenes and the little gameplay that it has consists of walking forward in high fidelity and basic self-solving puzzles while people are screaming useless information in your ears non-stop smh

Well goodfellas is great, but the Synder cut of the justice league is twice as long so it’s clearly the better movie. Length doesn’t equal quality. Hellblade has many flaws, the fact it’s not a 50 hour open world RPG is not one of them

[@StanleySThomas]

@@jacksonjabbanever said length equals quality. I love shorter games. The problem is not that Hellblade is 5 hours long but problem is that the quality of those 5 hours is not worth the asking price of $50.

Kind of a bummer using pronouns for the final boss. Probably could have gone without that info. If it’s Mesmer, that’s fine because it’s been teased but many people think that he is a red herring.

The big marketable character is never the final boss in fromsoft dlc’s. Usually the penultimate boss of the main quest.
