      Aside from the last boss, they are all fair. As an example, people like to complain about Messmer but all of his attacks are dodgeable with even average reaction speed and he leaves himself open enough that I can attack him with my slow colossal sword.

      Shitty Designed for a Fact. Only jackasses who want to sound like they are above other people over a damn video game claim "OH it's a perfect game, its easy, I beat it in 5 hours, I had a blind fold on and I was using a DDR pad on a Old Box TV, I"m SOOO good at this game, I am soo proud of myself. Because I am good at a video game I am automatically the highest on the food chain, the peek of human potential even higher than Captain America." (these people are like 39+ years old, bragging like they are in elementary school and it had some value) If you are a grown ass adult bragging about beating DLC of a 2 year old game... damn I feel bad for you... well not really.

    The base game of Elden Ring clearly establishes that Radahn halted the stars to protect Sellia and engaged in a cataclysmic battle with Malenia over control. The game's lore indicates that the demigods, corrupted by the power of the Great Runes, vied for dominance. Radahn's arc was effectively complete with his descent into madness and eternal struggle coming to a halt at the festival. Conversely, Godwyn's narrative is left open-ended. Miquella's goal to grant Godwyn a true death and the Finger Crone’s prophecy that Godwyn needs to die a true death indicate a buildup toward resolving Godwyn’s fate. However, there is no foundational lore connecting Miquella and Radahn. The idea of a deep connection between Miquella and Radahn seems contrived, appealing more to a fan-fiction fantasy than to the established narrative.
    The imagery in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC teaser, such as the strings of life Marika pulls from a corpse, suggests thematic elements that could be used to craft a more cohesive story involving Godwyn and Miquella. Given Godwyn's soulless state and Miquella's search for a bodily form, the narrative could have explored reanimating Godwyn’s body or leveraging an eclipse to restore souls-fitting themes for a dark fantasy universe. Instead, the DLC's direction feels forced, especially the final boss fight with "prime" Radahn, which lacks the unique flavor and depth characteristic of FromSoftware’s other DLC bosses.
    The new lore items introduced in the DLC, with no foreshadowing in the base game, fail to provide a satisfying or convincing expansion of the story. The rushed and superficial connections between Miquella and Radahn diminish the potential richness of their individual arcs. The DLC's attempt to justify these connections feels like a thin plot device rather than a thoughtful extension of the game’s intricate lore.
    Many players feel that this DLC lacks depth and substance, making it a disappointment compared to the base game's expansive and immersive world. The encounter design often relies on cheap tactics, like placing enemies in unexpected spots solely to frustrate players. This approach feels less like a challenge and more like a gimmick.
    Furthermore, the DLC's item and enemy scaling are inconsistent, making the experience confusing and unbalanced. High-level players face trivial challenges while encountering outdated items that serve no purpose at their level ( Smithing stones ) .
    The story progression in the DLC is underwhelming. After extensive buildup around Miquella, the player finally encounters him only to be forced into a fight with little explanation or narrative payoff. This abrupt encounter, coupled with the lack of significant choices or consequences, reduces what could have been a profound moment into a mere checkbox on the player’s to-do list.
    The ending of the DLC offers no closure or reward, leaving many players feeling as though their time and effort were wasted. Unlike other FromSoftware games, where DLCs add depth and conclude the story meaningfully, Shadow of the Erdtree leaves players with a sense of anticlimax. There is no significant change to the game world or a deeper understanding of its lore-just an 8-hour extension of the base game's grinding and combat.
    In summary, Shadow of the Erdtree fails to meet the high expectations set by Elden Ring. The DLC’s plot feels disconnected and superficial, lacking the intricate and rewarding narrative elements that made the base game so compelling. The final boss fight and the handling of Miquella’s story are particularly disappointing, undermining what could have been a significant expansion of the game’s world and lore.

      I at first thought Radhan was dumb, and it Should've been Godwyn, but some lore people made a damn good story about it and I really like it now. So idk, it was still fun. They Should've given us bell bearings for ancient stones, that way we could level up all our new weapons to max without tons of grinding.

    i don't think the dlc is 10/10 fantastic. the boss fights are not well balanced. dps is overtuned. some spells on certain stairways are designed to drive you crazy. enemies have infinite poise, even if you hit almost all their life out of them. they just look at you and you are animation locked. except for the combat, everything is a straight 10/10. but the combat is the most important aspect.

      @calebnewell5032 14 днів тому

      @@xxdemestrosxx As someone that hasn’t even played any other Souls titles, I’m not even trying to argue whether they are going backward or forward. I’m criticizing Elden Ring as a standalone title, in a niche subgenre ,that was brand new to me. The loot gripe is objective, as players have to beat most of the game to even access the DLC, most of the player base uses guides to get all of the smithing stone and glovewart bell bearings and the majority of players that even played the DLC were probably already lvl 200+. The majority of loot is objectively awful, regardless of how you or I personally feel about it, because it is completely obsolete at that point in the game.
      We got a challenging game, for sure, but a lot of that challenge is artificial and half-baked. As a gamer that’s played tons of Openworld RPG’s (as that is my favorite genre), Elden Ring really does some stuff badly. I agree, we should be critical of Elden Ring and stop glazing it, just for clout, or emotional reasons.

    I think you're smoking crack if you think From Software was trying to not make this frustrating. This is more frustrating than anything they've ever developed before. Gaius and the final boss Consort Radahn are some of the shittiest, worst designed bosses they've ever designed. They are definitely going to nerf these bosses. They are horrendous.
    Also, the end boss itself was just incredibly disappointing even outside of it being a shitty boss fight. The lore/story had all this setup and then it was just Radahn. Incredibly boring. A twist no one asked for or wanted.

    Even though it’s reviewed high, the way many are talking, I’m thinking they’re tired of this souls crap.
    With Elden Ring it finally peaked.
    What’s really gained or fun about beating your head against the same boss over and over and over again?
    And then fighting the same bosses over and over again.
    Death Knight
    Death Knight Hulatude(he has a hammer now)
    Death Knight Leopold(he has a staff now)
    Death Knight Stu(he has an axe now.)
    Tree Sentinel he’s on a horse.
    Field Sentinel he’s on a boar.
    Sand Sentinel he’s on a white horse.

    Only thing I didn't like were the bosses, they felt far to overtuned even with taking advantage of the Scadurtree fragment system. beyond that I liked it but the bosses definitely were a low point, nice ideas but terribly executed and I got tired quickly of bosses actual one shot kill grabs and combos. Everything else was amazing but god these bosses need toned down significantly to be enjoyable like 30K plus HP shouldn't be a standard boss, like 15K at most is good and final boss should be 20-25K HP

It just was not fun to play no matter what way I played it, cheese build, ailment build, magics builds. Going to the Reddit for advice to be met with the same brain dead “Get gud” doesn’t help either it’s like fromsoft is so stuck in this masochistic gameplay loop that honestly I didn’t set up for. I had way more fun playing bloodborne level 1…why because even still I had a chance to have fun by overcoming meaning full and realistic lot difficult fights.

  • @seansmith877
    @seansmith877 2 місяці тому

    The one thing i absolutely disagree with is its 10x more vetical than the main game, its the exact same verticality of the maingame haha. Ive played through the dlc twice and the main game around 15 times there is no difference with verticality. Has everyone just forgotten stuff like the elavator in the woods that takes you down a 2 minute ride to the depths of the earth? The big tower in caelid where its like a 5 minute parkour course downwards. The whole maliketh area is loads of jumping and height. The whole area around the lucaria academy, its a low down lake area but with two massive cliffs around it that are way higher up. Caves everywhere to go underground, like the dlc doesnt even have the underground map that the main game has where you can press a button to show the miles of underground areas.
    The dlc very vertical but its nothing new.
    I agree with the majority of your other points though the dlc is decent and i love the new weapon types, i just wish there were more its so sad that the new weapons only have like 2-3 of each with some only having 1. it felt more like they were testing new weapon types rather than adding new types.

  • @InnerRise

    i'm confused. You say there are only like a handful of dungeons. Then you say there are many. And then you also refer back to original elden ring having a countable amount when from what I've seen and heard there are hidden dungeons all over the world. Some with meaningless treasure and some with worthwhile treasure.
    Odd to use dungeon count as a measure when that has already been established. rewriting history?

    A little late but the developers of Elden Ring clearly stated that the leveling is separate in the realm of shadows as to the lands between, the levels you’ve accumulated in the lands between bought with the rune fragments of the Elden Ring have no significance in the Realm of Shadows. In other words the Scadutree fragments and Ashes you can pick up to upgrade yourself are necessary, most definitely necessary

I like the dlc I prefer the base game because so far all the bosses seen to just spam and if you struggle it's either continue for hours or summon and make it too easy there's not really a good middle ground

This DLC has way to much spin tonwin bosses. I honestly feel like From Software wants to put bloodborne and sekiro into Souls style game play and forget the player can't perform the same movement that your character can in bloodeborne or sekiro.
