@@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.
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
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. 😅
@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 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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?//
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.
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.
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! 😬
@@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.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.
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.
@@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
@@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
I still say you should play the games that are the Genesis of from software kings field and the Armored Core games since those games over time is what built the reputation from software is known for
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Great review! Only thing I have to say is any type of bleed build makes the game substantially easier with the bleed procs. I would give it another try. It’s how a lot of players get by.
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!
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.
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
I was finally able to scrape the money for the DLC a few days ago, and have started a new run with a new build I never tried before. I'm running Int/Dex and quite enjoying it so far. Using good melee weapons and having some spells as a supplement/saving them for boss fights has been very engaging. I beat the game once before with a bleed build, but wanted to do something new. Right now I'm running Meteorite Staff with the Nightrider Flail and it's such a cool combo. I just finished Raya Lucaria and Castle Morne and now I'm on my way to Liurnia so I can grind out some levels, because I'm only level 40 and Caelid is KICKING MY ASS. I'm hoping I can get to the DLC on release day, wish me luck!!
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?
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.😅
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’m still in awe of your last video! You got a sit down with Todd Howard! Like WTF!!! Dude nevermind whatever you’re talking about right now! You got to interview Todd Howard!!! I’ll calm down later!!!
Now I can play this game and enjoy all of the story and hard bosses! Still haven't played it, mostly because I know I would get sucked in and I dont have the time to really commit to it but Im gonna buy this game soon! Ill be happy to beat this like I did with the Souls games! And have massive rage at the difficulty and then get good at it. Luckily i did play Dark Souls and have a small, small grasp of what to expect and then I dont and I love it!!!💚🤘🏻
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.
The issue you faced with difficulty is because you were on ng+ ( or even further ) where enemies are way difficult than first run. Other reviewers who were were using base game normal run characters didn't face that much difficulty as you did
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 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.
@@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 worry about the difficulty spike. Elden Ring brought in alot of new players that are not familiar or didn't like to traditional Fromsoft difficulty. This could create some backlash from the more casual crowd the skyrocketed Elden Ring to a household name.
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
The manga original ending theory. The Elden ring dlc ending sucks and is underwhelming according to leaks and reviews. Adult Miquella the hyped up character simply sits on radahn during the final duo boss battle. Also the final boss battle is reskinned radahn. However there is hope. Elden ring has an ongoing manga called road to erdtree . The manga could give us an original ending to the dlc which is better than the original dlc trash ending. Me when I heard the leaks: No I don’t want that radahn being the final boss, I want fromsoftware to make good games all their existence for 10 years at least.
Very different games, if there's one thing they could learn from Elden Ring is that good and rewarding exploration matters, something they learned with Skyrim but somehow forgot with Starfield.
11:18 yeah for some reason, the better your pc hardware, the worse off you are. My 3090 struggled while my friends 1000 series got 50-60 fps the entire time, back when this core game launched in 2022.
@@Ghorda9 I was referencing when the game launched in 2022. It’s been fixed since then. Played it on my laptop which has a 3060 as well that February, same issue

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.

Would anyone like to spoil for me the enemy he’s referring to at 7:57 ?
So me being level 181 on ng+ 4 is good for the dlc?
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
Matty should Bethesda consider this game and its Impact when making Elder scrolls 6
i think they should consider Starfield’s failure and Skyrim’s success
The manga original ending theory.
The Elden ring dlc ending sucks and is underwhelming according to leaks and reviews. Adult Miquella the hyped up character simply sits on radahn during the final duo boss battle. Also the final boss battle is reskinned radahn.
However there is hope. Elden ring has an ongoing manga called road to erdtree . The manga could give us an original ending to the dlc which is better than the original dlc trash ending.
Me when I heard the leaks:
No I don’t want that radahn being the final boss, I want fromsoftware to make good games all their existence for 10 years at least.
@@ゼロシン what the fuck is blud yappin about
Very different games, if there's one thing they could learn from Elden Ring is that good and rewarding exploration matters, something they learned with Skyrim but somehow forgot with Starfield.
considering they are nothing alike, I would say no.
I can't put into words how excited I am for this. I'm tweaking out waiting for it please help
11:18 yeah for some reason, the better your pc hardware, the worse off you are. My 3090 struggled while my friends 1000 series got 50-60 fps the entire time, back when this core game launched in 2022.
my 3060 doesn't get any stutters on max settings, i think it's more to do with the cpu and memory
@@Ghorda9 I was referencing when the game launched in 2022. It’s been fixed since then. Played it on my laptop which has a 3060 as well that February, same issue
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.
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'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
