    I just want to add for my fellow multiplayer guys out there: only 1 person needs to buy the DLC and your friends can still play with you, but they can't use the new items or unlock the class. I think this is a great system that doesn't divide friends up if someone doesn't want to spend the $10, they can keep playing together and see all the content.

    I really like the increase of content for losomn and for how cheap it is its awsome stuff. I think its not a giant DLC just a bit of extra content. While I would love if they added more entire worlds I think that will take a bit more time than just 4 months after release.

    • @plusixty8992
      @plusixty8992 10 місяців тому

      Since they Confirmed 3 Dlcs packs, i think all of them are going to be like this, extensions of yaesha and nerud, with new weapons amor and archetypes. since the Season Pass costs $25 i can only assume thats gonna mean each one is going to cost $10 a pop. Now it would be cool if they do a new world entirely but, id almost rather they just have a new game, this one had 3 worlds 2 rolls a piece, so a new world at this point needs at least 2 variations on precedent alone, and then at that point its like, well instead of charging $20 for a dlc lets keep it going and do a whole new game.

    5:59 Solid point. DLC is usually more of the same, so if you like the base game, then DLC is the way to go, but DLC by itself won't change that. Onward to 300k. All glory to the algorithm.

    • @TBelen91
      @TBelen91 10 місяців тому +3

      I wondered whether the remaining DLCs may follow suit in simply expanding the existing 3 biomes that you can already reroll in the base game, rather than go to new areas entirely. Since otherwise it's interesting that they chose to do another Losomn biome first. But there could be many other reasons why in the mix I suppose.

    • @plusixty8992
      @plusixty8992 10 місяців тому +1

      @@TBelen91 i definitely assume thats what their doing. 3 dlcs confirmed, $25 season pass, $10 per dlc price tag. their gonna give us more content to enjoy the game witha small team im sure and are more than likely using new worlds for a new game. It doesnt make much sense to me to add a new world into it, where as new rolls seems like the most sense. now someone who buys a definitive addition in a year or two will have 3 rolls per region. This will be seen as a major bang for buck content mine lol then they doa new game that has 4 or more worlds to expand uipon etc etc

  • @mesarthim640
    @mesarthim640 10 місяців тому +2

    I feel like people want content for their game way too fast... this leads to this small DLC ! I'm not happy at all with it because there were so much more to do... Like making the labyrinth a randomly generated area or the root earth... Also, all the area of the first game should make a come back with new stories, bosses and such ! It takes time? So be it ! At least it will be quality content rather than going back to the game for 5 hours times 2 or 3 then not feeling fully satisfied and still hearing people complain about the lack of the content of the game in a month or so.
    The new class looks really cool but I hope the next DLC part of the season pass will include one which does transform and use the root more.
    All in all, it's not that it's bad, TBH, I'm still happy about it but I wanted more to have a better reason to go back to the game.

    The $9.99 price point for a new class + area is what we should be praising at this point. $9.99 doesn't even get you a cosmetic skin in most games, so I think giving the devs some plus points here is in order here. @Mortismal, first off love your content. Second, you said you this is "about what you were willing to pay" - I'd be curious to hear what you think the ideal pricing is. Free is always better than a price tag, but I feel like this is more than fair.

    My only complaint is how horribly disappointing the one true king’s boss fight was, did it first try, didn’t need to learn his move set; which turns out to be like 2 possible attacks, just reaction dodged everything and bam he’s dead. I was thinking oh this dude definitely has a second phase with how easy he is, then he hit zero and I got loot, and I thought really that’s it?
    I wasn’t expecting Malenia, hammer of the true king, but Venom is a harder boss fight, and this dude is apparently a god.
