This is such a great update, a boss rush mode would have just made it god tier let’s hope for a DLC. Thanks for covering the patch Bigdeal, hope you’re doing good bud.
Yea that would have been a nice edition. It seems like they will be focusing on their next game from what I’m hearing. I think they are ok with putting this to rest and moving on. Thanks for watching as always.
@@bigdeal_1 Maybe the next game is that “death of the fallen” I’ve been hearing about. Hexworks did really really well for their first game (especially current version) so I’m excited for what comes next.
Lol yea unfortunately it’s died down a lot. They do offer NPC summons’s at most boss battles. I can’t remember if there is a setting for cross play or not. Maybe work taking a look ti make sure you are allowing PC and X-box players to join
Honestly, hope you’re correct lol. I read an interview earlier, I believe it was IGN where they said they are going to focus on the next game and they are happy where this is. But, anything is possible for sure.
From my experience, they could've excluded Saintly Quintessence(fixed ones at least, with you still being able to get extra ones from floor loot and enemy drops)from randomized item drops at least
It doesn’t really mention them by name but it does say that some items will still remain in fixed locations while the majority will be random. These may still be in the same spot. We will have to test it out to see.
Defiantly possible. Read an interview where they mentioned closing this chapter and moving their full support to the next game. A dlc would be nice though
I love this game so much I really do. And I have over 200 hours in this game and I'd like it to be alot more! How ever, the game suffers from a crazy bug thats' not fixed for many patches. And it's first of the stash. Highly risky to use since it will sooner or later lock your items in it. Yes, it will lock your items within the chest so you can't access them. Happend to me twice! Second, a major bug with the blacksmith. Can happen so you won't be able to make x3 sockets to your weapon. Even if you have all the requirements, it'll bug out so you have to start another playthrough. Happend to me twice! Not been fixed for weeks! I'd love to keep on playing but I'm considering scrapping the game if the dev's are ignoring this issues further more.
Haven’t seen those bugs personally, just curious if you reported them to the devs on their bug portal so they can review it and fix it. They been pretty good with responding if it’s been actively reported.
@@beesolow25 saw it was in the 1.5 patch update you had alot of difficulty options and you could turn off the disappearing bonfires in Ng plus. Boot up a new run and let us know! If you could that is, since I dont own the game yet.
Still can't play this without dropping fps maybe when the new cards come will have more stability this is with native 4k I really think most games are made to be ran on cards that come after the current cards The first game was like that couldn't max it with current cards until the 10 series came
Just like any other souls type game, there are no difficulties settings. They are intended to be hard. There are some things they added that allow you to decrease the amount of enemies that spawn and such. But a specific setting to lower the difficulty does not exist.
Just beat my first playthrough on series x. For the most part, it plays well. Every now and then I'll get a stutter, but other than that it's good. I'd say go for it!
I really enjoyed this game. I have 280 hours on it! Very appreciative to the developers for the massive support they gave for this game. You can tell they have a definite vision and they executed it. I will definitely support the next game they will make. Thank you for the video,
Absolutely. They had a very hard task ahead of them working with new technology and trying something that has never been done. Because of that they had a rocky start but, like you said, they really put a lot of work into the game and listened to the community. I will defiantly support their next project as well. Thanks for watching!
So do you get more health pick ups as you dont even get much health also checkpoints and in dark world are you still timed as it gets harder so you have to rush not much fun so you cant explore im worried about the health i dont see anyone pick some up very rare still not a good game then
You can get 9 health packs total, you have to find the 20 saintly quintessence’s throughout umbral to unlock them. Umbral wasn’t meant to be freely explored. It’s basically the underworld and dangerous. You don’t have to rush through it, just need to kill the crimson shadow to extend your time, it’s actually a really good place to farm vigor. If you use vigor on vitality, you will increase your HP overall. I would recommend getting vitality to 40+ and work on unlocking health packs if you are having issues. As far as check points, you can farm the items in umbral to set more check points as well.
@@bigdeal_1 ah ok sounds good now might get it ive heard bad reviews on this game now its patch less enemies now for beginner players cool thanks for the reply
Just kill the red Reaper and get 25/000 Souls and 3X souls for a bit untill another shows up. Killed him after my first 2 days playing. Worth it fuck him lol
Personal opinion is that I really liked it. The new additions in this final version are making me want to do another play through. The game had a rocky beginning but as mentioned in the video they have released over 30 updates in a few months and really improved the performance and gameplay overall. In my opinion I do think it’s worth playing. One of my biggest complains still would be that the final boss on radiant ending is a joke.
@@andrewnicholls4667 going to be based on the person I guess. I found this rather easy. My brother also thinks eldenring was harder. But, over the past few weeks I have had people in the comments complaining this game is too hard and they don’t like it because it’s way harder than eldenring lol.
@@bigdeal_1 didn’t they buff the boss difficulty on the most recent update? Haha Elden ring was a challange for sure but it’s nothing compared to sekiro in terms of difficulty. But if you say it’s easier than Elden then I’ll take your word for it and it’s pretty cheap here in the UK now 👌🏼 I keep seeing people saying the first boss (dragon) after the little boss is way too hard. But from what I’ve seen you should let it kill you when you encounter it the first couple times for a special side quest or something 🤣
@@andrewnicholls4667 lol to be fair they did buff it. Not sure I tried since the bosses got harder. I had full strength build originally and I just murdered bosses. Not to promote my other videos but I actually have my play through on my channel and there are some shorts of me as well just murdering bosses lol. To be honest, the first boss was actually the hardest for me. Also, if it’s on sale, it’s a no brainer. Defiantly worth it on a sale price. It will also fill the void between now and elden ring dlc 😂.
If you’re on console try resetting your console. I seen that work in the past. Also make sure you have on cross platform play. (Not 100% sure if that on by default or if you can even change it). Just 2 options I though of.
@@bigdeal_1 yea, yesterday i did farmed all the ark skills from weapons, still few missing to get till on the last bosses but im om the road for it, i wish they would make a pvp arena or some dlcs into the game, cuz this is really an amazing game
@@bigdeal_1 Wait what? 280 fps ? that's not real, even 4090 can't do this.. my RX 7900xtx (4080 super level) can't go this far Maybe U playing on low paired with FSR or DLSS ? Overall.. I guess the performance is ok now, at least compared to launch version (which was bad)
@bigdeal_1 DLSS on Performance mode is around 50% of native resolution 2160p in DLSS performance = 1080p 1080p in DLSS performance = 540p To be fair, DLSS performance can be ok if you play in 2160p.. but DLSS performance in 1080p is ugly & muddy.. always go for DLSS Quality mode in 1080p & 1440p.. only 4K is ok if you go with DLSS Performance
Yea let’s hope their next game is really good haha. I guess there is still a chance overall that we could get a DLC if there is enough demand but it doubt it.
No more content will be added to the game moving forward from what I have gathered. They added a 6 month extended maintenance period originally because of the bad launch and have completed their goal. I’m sure they will continue to monitor and this put out hot fixes for any issues that come up. As far as content goes this is the last content update as they are now shifting focus to their next game.
I played mortal shell, hellpoint, lies of P. Those were good games. Lords of the fallen sucked in every category apart from the world building and art direction. Performance was and still is crap and gameplay still resumes to the same 6-7 mobs u fight from the start of the game up to the end of the game as filler content between boss fights. Its like they took a look at Dark Souls 2 and decied all of its worse parts are gona be the main inspiration.
This is the only game I’ve bought that I regret. 80$ is way more than this game is worth, especially when something like hollow knight is 15$. I jumped the gun on getting it because IGN gave it the same rating as Lies of P. I’ll be taking anything they say with a grain of salt from now on. I am gonna give this another shot, but I was very bummed about the performance when it came out. I just kept beating areas and bosses, waiting for it to get fun, and it just never did. Getting rid of the ganks will help.
@@bigdeal_1 it’s ironic that I got all the fromsoft games except elden ring and the demons souls remake, on sale, but I jumped the gun on this one. Oh well, lesson learned. I bought 3 copies of hollow knight for 15$ each, and I feel that was a far better investment for me. I got blasphemous for 6$. I guess it goes to show price doesn’t necessarily mean quality.
@@nathanplumb3782don't agree. This game is incredibly easier and satisfying if you take the time to learn how it plays. I was killing red Reaper my second day playing and no cheesing.

Yea this game has a very divided community haha. Some people really liked it, myself included. Some people hate it lol. They did a lot of work to the game overall and it’s a completely different experience now than when it first launched. These new modifiers make for some fun play throughs. I get it though
This took about 3 years so that seems about right. Seems they are shifting full focus to the next game and using lessons learned from this game. Hoping it turns out great from day 1.

They aren’t going to do any dlc for this game… they are going to focus on the sequel
Boss rush mode dropped today🤯
Got this game 2 days ago for my PS5 and been trying to summon anyone in co-op for the life of me, lol.
Lol yea unfortunately it’s died down a lot. They do offer NPC summons’s at most boss battles. I can’t remember if there is a setting for cross play or not. Maybe work taking a look ti make sure you are allowing PC and X-box players to join
Glad that i waited. It’s better now and it’s coming to the game pass
They did say it was the final free* update. I think that leaves the door open to DLC. One could hope at least 😆
Honestly, hope you’re correct lol. I read an interview earlier, I believe it was IGN where they said they are going to focus on the next game and they are happy where this is. But, anything is possible for sure.
the dlc has been announced its coming later this year its called 'CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA' your character will go to India

From my experience, they could've excluded Saintly Quintessence(fixed ones at least, with you still being able to get extra ones from floor loot and enemy drops)from randomized item drops at least

Final free content roadmap update. Those we're his words. They may put out something else for it.
Defiantly possible. Read an interview where they mentioned closing this chapter and moving their full support to the next game. A dlc would be nice though
Anyone have any idea how the CO OP works these days. I've been wanting to get this game.
Was wondering if those multiplayer issues got fixed.

I've never seen as much dedication for post launch updates for a game these devs...
Kudos goes out to Hexworks
Yea they did a great job
Because it launched in such a broken state. They were delivering the finished game.
Pretty sure No Man Sky is an example of that, they are releasing updates even now for free.
Gonna give it another go now. Dropped frame rates meant I never finished it.
Can someone give me an update on how it runs on Series X? Held off on a purchase because of that alone.
