- The best thing I can say on Shadow Of The Erdtree is that it's not DLC. It's a whole new game. If you love the Soulslike genre, this is a must play.

i love his use of cleaning words for getting his ass whooped. 'rinsed' 'filtered' 'purified' 'scrubbed' 'polished' 'washed' 'tumbled' 'dried' 'hung' 'folded' 'stacked' 'closed'

I agree, SO happy salutations is back lol. Stay sexy stay active is like what i would expect a fitness instruction video to sign off with, not a video game news channel. Feels like a disconnect from the audience

The DLC is not even out yet and I already want an Elden Ring 2.
this dlc is going to be our elden ring 2
Elden ring 2 is not even out yet and i want an Elden Ring 3.
@@MeldinX2😂😂
We'll probly have it by the time we get tired of this.
The dlc IS elden ring 2
Congratulations on getting an interview with Todd! You deserve it. Can't wait to get into this DLC so excited 😆
exited for worst game
@@PuppetMasterdaath144can’t even spell excited correctly… your opinion is not worth much
Mattys Todd Howard interview was so bad. You’re congratulating that BS interview ?
@@FairGame206It was a pretty great interview actually
@@FairGame206 The interview was great. Matty asked tough questions respectfully and didnt waste time or embarrass himself by asking questions Todd will definitely not be allowed to answer.
It is crazy to see an expansion win Game of the Year.
dlc vs wukong
If it wasn’t for the industry loving Nintendo so much that they’ll probably give it to Echoes of Wisdom, I feel like this could’ve been the 1 year where they said fuck it. 😅
@@neojdnext year boutta be crazy with Metroid prime 4 AND gta 6
The Witcher 3's "Blood and Wine" expansion did it back in the day
Heard the expansion is almost the size of Dark Souls 1
They didn't even have to make a dlc but apparently they went above and beyond. This why they're my favorite game dev ever.
They didnt?😊 they will make millions out of this. Ofc they had to.
And they deserve it
@andreichetan4694 What i meant is that the base game is so expansive and great already, that a dlc is an added bonus. Not talking about the financial success at all.
The first enemy shown on the video is already slowing the antic on purpose before attacking.
Oh god here we go again, all those panic rolls and tears.
Majula music = Good times
Man I need to finish Elden Ring in 50 hours deep and I'm still trying to figure out what the hell I'm supposed to do
Use a guide, don't end up like me. 230 hours and only 33% of golden path 😂
Right there with you my friend
Just eviscerate everything you see and come across. You will beat the game eventually brother! We believe in you 🙏🏼
Take your time man. It's an experience you'll appreciate best if you just take it slow and explore everything. Once you're done you'll still feel empty. That's just how good it is.
Just enjoy it man it’s one of the best games ever
Elden ring is always a masterpiece when expect anything less 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Making the "mini sequel" to Elden Ring as a big, and relatively expensive, DLC is a pretty good idea. The devs can reuse the same engine as is, while concentrating on just making new content.
Also, who's ready for 18 inches of Messmer?//
I’m going to do an epic playthrough of the entire game and the dlc. Gonna be so much fun
Bro you compared the step out moment of elden ring to fallout 3, I’ve made so many comparisons to so many of my friends about this but you are the first UA-camr I’ve seen say that. 100% agreed
TOGETHA! We shall enjoy this new "game"!
This DLC will extinguish thy flame. Put your foolish ambitions to rest....
@@Astrophobia88long and hard didst thou wait , tarnished warrior.
this is what happens when you let creative team cook and you don't distropt the art with shady monetization, live service , shareholders requests and trends take notes: microsoft ,EA, ubisoft, activision, blizzard , and bethesda
That “step out moment” you mentioned has been fromsoft’s since 2015 imo. The moment you leave iosefka’s clinic and see Yharnam for the first time is incredible.
Dark souls 2 too in majula
DS1 and DS3 didn't really have step out moments.
@@InfrazaleDS3 has one of the most memorable with Irithyll
@@irockmajorly True. It just occurs later in the game.
@@alanrabling and brume tower and sunken city
The from soft game mantra closely parallels traditional Japanese pedagogy in learning. “The teacher is not required to teach but the student is required to learn” is a common attitude in Japan. First they humble you, then you are required to learn without instruction even to the point where your master will hide information from you and you must seek it out until you either quit proving you never had the heart and passion to master your craft or the trial by fire and genuine accomplishment make you into hardened steel. Love it.
Awesome review! So do you think I can play this "game" on my NG+ file as long as I can find some Scadutree Fragments early on?
So when I saw some of the other content creators go invited to try the game out about a week ago+ they were given prebuilt characters and they looked like new classes. Are there new starting classes available? So could I restart the game with a new class and then enter the DLC later?
Matty playing the dark souls 2 music in the background cuz he's a real one
He is hehehehe
I want to play this so bad! Been to busy playing The Final Shape on Destiny 2. I wish this DLC would have launched in the Fall or when we have another dry spell! 😬
Lol heh another dry spell
Do you still need to get the bell bearings to upgrade new weapons or is there a different method??
Thank you for showing the frame rate drop footage. We all love the game but it now makes sense why it took so long for release.
I'm so stoked for this! Started my second ever playthrough a few nights ago. Running a dex/faith lightning samurai.
I an in NG4 in Elden Ring, does that affect the difficulty at all or is it solely based on the new seeds you collect?
A God Howard interview and Elden Ring DLC preview in the same week the hard work on the channel is paying off Matty
can u please tell me if there are new infusion types? like INT/FAITH Infusion?
All i want to know is are there multiple new lightning incantations or is it just knights lightning spear
Love reviews like this, you’re getting me so excited to play! We subscriber for sure!! 👊🏻
I really hope Shadow of the erdtree adds DLSS to Elden Ring. The game really needs it, along with a proper optimization!
Got a backlog of games, but Elden Ring and the Dlc is on my list
Highly recommend you move this to the front of your backlog. This game is one of the best games of all time without question.
@@taylorwhite2751 You're one of many who has told me that. Seems logical for me to do so.
140 hours of Witcher 3, not finished first run yet.
100 hours of cyberpunk on first run.
But I could always take time out for Elden Ring
@@Captain.AmericaV1Elden Ring is a titan compared to those two which I have completed both. Elden ring needs to be completed immediately.
@@Captain.AmericaV1 yea man I love Witcher 3. The music and vibe of that game is incredible. Elden ring with blow your mind. I hated it when I first played it because I had never played a souls game but once you beat the first boss and start gearing up its a one of a kind experience I wish I could re-live.
Play peak.
My excitement for this dlc cannot be put into words, I am so stoked to be back in the game to play the dlc. I have spent the last week or so getting back into the feel for the game and collecting all the bell bearings for smithing stones, super excited to try out the new light greatswords. I was worried that because I am on ng+2 that the dlc was going to be too difficult, but the Scadutree Fragment mechanic gave me some reassurance. Great video My. Matty! Looking forward to your full review.
We are so back
0:50 ... they really put ROBERTOOO!!! in Elden Ring... CANT WAIT.
Thank you. I have watched every major review today. I truly enjoyed your review. You did a great job and I am extremely excited for this game. Thank you for your hard work.
so its ok to play the dlc in ng+?
I was debating myself on whether I should play Shadow of the Erdtree with my first character or the second run one I'm currently doing. But you helped me make up my mind. Current playthrough gets a pause, and the old INT build is coming back on the field for this one.
Man this video got me so hyped, I was already kind of looking forward to it but was planning on delaying it for a while because I don't have time right now to start a new game from scratch. But hearing you describe how effectively the new DLC scaling seems to work makes me feel able to take in my original 100% completion save on into Shadow of the Erdtree has got me downloading Elden Ring in preparation haha
Thank you, for being more transparent than Fromsoft about what we're getting. I had mixed feelings about picking it up, despite how much I loved the base game (I had over 200 hours in my first playthrough). I'm glad they'll actually be delivering far beyond what they've advertised and lore will be fulfilled.
From Soft is known as having some of the best DLC’s.
Fromsoft giving out review keys days from release IS Fromsoft being transparent.
Matty does it have new achievements and trophies?
Well, that’s my whole weekend locked down. Thanks for the reviews.
I had the same tap out experience as you but with ds2 fume Knight on ng+3. I barely ever play NG+ anymore especially not before the DLC drops
So me being level 181 on ng+ 4 is good for the dlc?
My SotE prep character is battlemage. I am really curious how will magic play in the expansion, considering everything I hear is how difficult it is.
I need help. I've played DS1 & 2, Elden Ring, Bloodborne, but can't seem to get into them...(did like Sekiro tho) any recommends that are Souls-like (minus the get gud gameplay)? Thanks
It's funny you ask for that but liked Sekiro, which is the most "git gud" game FromSoft has made.
Started a full new run 3 weeks ago in prep of SOTET, (not ng+). Going w/ an Int Dex build w/ Katana in main and staff in left as I never typically play these kind of games like this. Gotta say, it's been a blast using the staff at range and being deadly up close w/ a katana. Lvl 73 right now. Got my weapons, got them leveled (to atleast +7), and am going for my ashes, tailsmans, and armor currently then going after the draconic tree sentinal to access the capital and then moug then it's DLC time. I'll be in the DLC more than likely around lvl 100, and now matty has me a bit worried here that I'm going to get bleached.
Matty on fire lately
Love to see it.
You gotta love it, happy early birthday homie (we're getting old man)
Duuude we need the mr Marty fable trailer hype vid!
Great to know that this DLC is one of the best in the game industry :) it’s been a while since we had an all-timer one!
I loved Phantom Liberty, but I dunno if I even liked it more than Hearts of Stone for TW3. I think it’s great that Shadow of the Erdtree and Blood & Wine stand as two of the best video game DLCs of all time.
Elden ring is one of if not the greatest video games of all time. It imo surpassed skyrim, oblivion and tw3 even.
@@antonhallergren588 I’m tentative on it surpassing TW3, but it’s equal for me. Might be even more so once I play shadow of the erdtree for myself. A 10/10 base game and a 10/10 DLC is exceedingly rare in all eras of video games. The only true example of this I can even think of is TW3. If I end up feeling Elden Ring is the same way once it releases its DLC, then yeah, it def can surpass TW3. But as of rn, I’ll hold my breath lol
@@johnstewart2981 tw3 by default as a game imo is lesser than elden ring. Gamplay>story in a game.
@@antonhallergren588 well, I’m happy you prefer elements of video games so strongly. It makes cutting out the bullshit much easier. I agree with you, ER’s gameplay is prolly the best ever, I’m just super impartial to the world of the Witcher. Hence them both being in equal levels. But once I play shadow of the erdtree I can see that changing lol
You did such a good job with this review; good stuff.
The same exact thing happened to me in blood borne, I never got to beat or even scratch the surface of the dlc with how new game+ was. Learned my lesson
If u collected the bells. You can upgrade any new weapon in the DLC. You are not blocked with 1 weapon
Is that the DS 2 soundtrack in the back ? 😮 takes me back to Majula
The hype is so real! By the by, Ashes of War = Weapon Arts, Spirit Ash = Summons.
Well constructed vid, Matty. Cannot wait for Thursday 9pm.
Fromsoft hit another homerun with this one
Might as well pre order it, I'm playing it on day one anyway.
Yes, yes yes yes yes great info and a great video. Keep up the good work.
"Under-promise, Over-deliver"
If only western devs would do the same.
But PC specs and resolution and settings you running tho?
Me and the boys have been doing a new playthrough for the past couple months. Was able to bring up two new characters in this time and help a new player reach end game. Locked and loaded.
Salad Stations right back at ya!
Wait - so you started the DLC on NG+2???? Is that what you said at 3:26??
At this point From Software has established themselves as one of the best companies in the entire business. They’re the gold standard for me.
So it's ok to start the dlc on ng+1m
Love the Anakin phase of you hair
The thing I'm most concerned about was the thing Matty showed at the very end of the video. He walked through a doorway and there were steps going all the way up...and all the way down. Which way are you going first? I'm looking forward to a hundred of those choices.
I’m playing through Elden Ring right now on PS5, and it consistently crashes or disconnects from the server. Usually at least three times in a two hour session. Very frustrating performance in this game.
Have never had a crash on this game at all. Performance has been great.
I'm level 340 and my run will be ng+1. Hopefully I'll be ok
Ooof.
You will be fine, watch fightincowboy's review to confirm that. Litterally similar level and Ng+1 and he was still getting smashed showing how even common enemies are a threat.
Hidetaka Miyazaki interview in his future!! Crossing my fingers
0:44 I knew it they would have a KICK move. Welcome back based and poisepilled Cathedral Knights (Horned Persian edition)
Thanks Matty. I will never play this game or DLC but appreciate the review!
Omg naked dude was a challenge... i had this experience too. I ended up killing him but oh man it was crazy strong.
Currently, I am past Dancing Lion and I am in a field with a giant with a cup for fire. I went into a castle... so good. Frustrating but its amazing 👏
I was getting kind of nervous about that because I think I’m new game +6. I completely platinum the game and I wanted to take my first character into this DLC but I thought that everything else was going to scale with new game plus because some guy said that he asked the developers and they said we don’t recommend you going in on a new game plus character and they were laughing.😅
it's because you never got the shadow tree blessings from previous new games
I can't wait to play. I havent heard anything bad minus the pc performance Matty mentioned. But I'm playing on ps5 so no problem for me. Time to go smack everything with big swords.
I'm of the opinion that while difficult Fromsoft games aren't THAT bad in the base game, the DLCs always ramp it up to 11 though
Bioshock infinite still has the best step out moment ever. Even though it’s technically not a step out lol. The moment you burst through the clouds and see Columbia for the first time. MYGOODNESS, straight chills!
All caught up on pc version and just reinstall on ps5 version and got my platinum save from before. I’m ready.
I can't put into words how excited I am for this. I'm tweaking out waiting for it please help
BEST ADVICE I EVER HEAR PERIOD 0:30- 0:37
😢😢😭 My Kamehameha magic got nerfed
I feel like I'm the only one who will say I'm excited to play and finish the expansion largely so I can start getting into modding the game!
This game is great but personally I prefer my guided open world games because at least I can understand what to do and how long I have left it’s not fun to run around aimlessly for hours and not make much progress it’s why these games need to be played with guides I will never play a souls game without a guide
I actually just started playing for the first time and I am enjoying it. Having trouble finding build guids for early game rather than end game but otherwise solid.
don't look up guides, it's okay to miss things and you can't really softlock yourself either.
@@Ghorda9 My guide search was more for stat allocation than anything. I can accept missing stuff now and then but I don't want to slap my points into a direction and end up crippling my character as I have done in quite a few games.
I see the review version didn't have the 1.12 nerfs applied, Blasphemous Blade Ash of War still flips people in the air...
Thanks Matty, loved your opinion 🙏🏾💛
Thank you very much 😊 😮 🙏 😀
Me thinking it was supposed to be released on the 20th, buying it this morning and starting the Elden Ring download... And now i'm sitting here reading that in my timezone, it launches on the 21st at zero hours... Well lets see how fast i can speedrun Mohg on NG+ to pass the next 5 hours.
I appreciate the D2 music
I'm stuck on the intro boss in Dark Souls III.
I’m so ready
Matty got that post Todd glow
It is TIME.
bro said salutations
Are you new here
And?
It’s been his catchphrase for the past decade. It would be kind of weird if he didn’t open a video with it. Lol.
did he stutter?
Salutations, mate!
“Ashes of war like mimic tear” lmao
Matty awesome review bro they nerfed that bleed bulld Cowboy had. Id assume thats but im not a know it all & i didnt do it myself. Fromsoft definitely nerfed the bleed weapons.
I’ve been waitin ❤🎉
THere's me who bought the DLC but am still only level 44 lol. I won't even be able to get to the DLC.I gained some levels yesterday but it seems likle such a long way. I regret starting a new game back along and deleting my old save.
Just found my next game to play while waiting for Shattered Space and Avowed 😎
Just got a new character to level 140. I'm ready.
