>Can you approximate the size of the world compared to the world in the base game?
>Miyazaki: It's hard to answer without giving away too much and to a high degree of accuracy, but if you think in terms of scale or size, it's probably comparable, if not larger, than the area of Limgrave from the base game.
Holy SHIT, so this 40$ dollar only has content of ONE FRICKING ZONE from the base game???????
That's a scam of the centaury.

Yea, okay
Have another bump and a real reply for my frickup
Idk what to say, of course I somehow expected an asset flip to some degree, but it still sounds strange since there were obviously inviroments that resembled different zones outside of Limgrave
On the other side, Id rather take 1 new zone than all those recycled bosses and dungeons from the maingame AGAIN so eh, only time will i guess
*only time will tell
Every Eldenring ive entered was full of shitposting from every fricking side, dont take it personal, you should rather not give two much of a frick what anyone writes here anyway
*Every ER ""THREAD"" ive entered
FUUUUUUUU- Im going to bed
It's so fricking tiring man
I just want to talk about the game but all I'm met with it people who are shitposting about how bad it is and others who are reverse shitposting about how wrong they are. There is absolutely zero room for any discussion because anything in the middle gets called out by both sides for being the other and a troony
It's just fricking ridiculous man
not your blog homosexual
Then why did you respond?
to tell you that it's
>not your blog homosexual
because it isn't your blog homosexual
>and others who are reverse shitposting about how wrong they are
Thank you for acknowledging this
I hope you find the discussion you seek
relax homie every last souls game had top tier DLC, they have not disappointed me with a single one thus far.
I mean, the DS2 ones were pretty bad, so was the main game. So on a curve, I guess they're good.
Yeah I was let down a bit by them, the only From DLC I've played, but the levels were made with care, and boss fights were alright
Nothing will ever compare to $15-20 Bethesda/New Vegas dlc expansions or TW3. They seem to work better because you can spend 10 minutes just talking to someone learning the story or more, and then weave them into playing through the base game
DS3 Dlc looks badass though
*Lore
>I mean, the DS2 ones were pretty ba-
*INCORRECT BUZZER NOISE*
>DS2 ones were pretty bad
???? absolute revisionist bullshit
>DS3 Ashes of Ariandel though was the biggest pile of shit possible. Not only was it unbalanced as shit with horrid design and only 1 boss which was awful with unreliable poise and 3 badly designed phases.
Jesus christ there are people that actually believe this
DS2 ones literally made DS2 playable, lmao.
The worst From DLC is the Sekiro one.
>Sekiro
>DLC
>>>>>>>>>>>The Joke<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
------Your Head------
They also weren't $40.
>Top Tier DLC
>DS2
>DS3 Ashes of Ariandel
DS2 is crap in general so no one expected anything from em, but they didnt learn at all why ppl hated the base game and just put in even more ganks and awful bosses. DS3 Ashes of Ariandel though was the biggest pile of shit possible. Not only was it unbalanced as shit with horrid design and only 1 boss which was awful with unreliable poise and 3 badly designed phases.
Dark Souls 2 DLC bosses were fun as frick. Aava, Fume Knight, Sinh, Alonne, Burnt Ivory King
They are better than a large portion of ER's bosses
Even putting the bosses aside, which is very arguable, level design in the DS2 DLC is some of the best in the entire series.
Hi, Why don't you remember me, I'm the the secret boss, with chain mail armor with no pants and a wolf with size x3, im peak desing.
I dunno man, they lost me on this one. It costs twice as much as every other DLC they’ve put out, and I didn’t really think Elden Ring was their best work to begin with.
Well if it's too expensive you'd better off wait for the sale. Thankfully it's still Bamco publishing it and they do discounts pretty often.
Nah, I’m just not interested. I didn’t like Elden Ring enough to turn my $60 purchase into a $100 purchase.
this is you
Nah homie I’m actually enlightened and in control of my life for preordering DLC
Frombros... Is this REALLY how we look like?
Yes, unfortunately.
Nah, dawg. I'm hella cute.
I don't want to go entirely Destiny 2 cope tier of "I wish there was less of my game available!," but genuinely Elden Ring was too big. Not necessarily in easy to excise chunks, but I spent a lot of the game trying to explore every nook and cranny and compared to BotW, it was much more tedious and less rewarding. Obviously not in some nice, easy to list objective sense as a lot of BotW's rewards were like, golden shit and weapons that if you're halfway good at the game you'll be tossing out faster than you find. But my memories of both experiences don't compare favorably for Elden Ring.
That, and the sheer pacing slump of the end game really soured the experience overall. The DLC, by virtue of being smaller but made with the hindsight of an entire game, is almost always a more enjoyable experience in Fromsoft games than anything in the main games. Dunno about the price though, but I don't really expect it to not feel worth it. Obviously not going to buy it right away, either way.
>On the other side, Id rather take 1 new zone than all those recycled bosses and dungeons from the maingame AGAIN so eh, only time will i guess
Don't worry, some of the 'new' bosses will be recycled too
at least they looked tweaked and not just completely recycled
I mean they'll introduce a new boss then later have it as another boss... but there's TWO of them this time, just like they did in the base game.
I fricking called it and you called me a trooncord shazamposter
Holy shit, so many NPCs are gonna get swindled in a few months
get help
Anyway go back to trooncord
>elden ring is like 30 hours long guys
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll wait for a sale
FROMBROS????????????????????
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
IT'S OVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
still a ps4/swtich game, the dlc will be dull as frick
I have a hard time believing that, just from what we can see from the trailer alone it has to be the size of Liurnia at the very least. The open world shots look much larger than Limgrave
He's likely underselling it. Technically he's telling the truth, but it's vague because the weeping peninusla and siofra are both technically apart of limgrave. Also he said it's bigger than it, so bigger could mean MUCH bigger and he wants to underpromise it.
In the same interview he said that their approach to the area was to try to seemlessly blend legacy dungeons and open world together, so from the sound of it, we're either looking at something that won't work at all or the best fricking level design this genre has ever seen. I'm cautiously hoping for the best
>He's likely underselling it.
Bold marketing strategy there. I don't think it's ever been done.
Japs are moronic
he's being sarcastic, or to put it in words you can understand, he's being not unironically
At this point, From Software doesn't need to market, especially for a game like ER. DLC sells itself.
He said it would only take 30 hours to complete the base game.
That was lie number 1 lel
That’s what I’m saying, he’s likely underselling the dlc.
that's about how long it takes to complete it, yes. sure if you going to do every piece of side content you can easily multiply that by 4-5 times but you can easily do the main quest in 30ish.
He said that was only the main story, which may very well be true - rush directly to Godrick, rush directly to Renala, straight to Leyndell, Mountaintops, Farum Azula and to the final boss. With no exploration, with no mini dungeons or any of the many optional areas this seems possible.
Yeah that's consistent with the reported completion times
Dumb marketing strategy, just be honest, anyone over or underselling should be shot.
Que remarks of every sword fighting game/dlc they come out with next not having 150 hours of content in the base game. Not unexpected.
He's trolling
He also said there'd be more level design involved, so areas will probably be much more dense.
Yeah, that's the real metric.
The density of content, not the actual size of the zone.
Hell, it could even add shit to the existing areas of the game for all that I know.
>Yeah, that's the real metric.
>The density of content, not the actual size of the zone.
I'll probably play it too but this is a cope. I was pretty shocked at the price, then less so when I found out it's a full on expansion, then shocked again that it's only the size of limgrave. it IS israeli, just because you like the game doesn't mean you shouldn't call out israelitery when you see it
Yeah because Elden Rings giant empty open world was such a great thing?
As long as it is filled with enough content then it is fine.
>40 dollars for a dlc that's still better than 99% of the full priced games that release and people still b***h.
Act like you won't spend 30+ hours in the dlc area alone. If that's not worth 40, you're expected some unrealistic shit just look how big their other dlcs have been. Ds2 had to get a lot of dlc because the base game is tragic mind you.
Ds 2 and 3 had dlc because bamco forced a season pass on them.
Frick, even armored core verdict day was loaded with micropayments at the time of its release.
The fact that their recent games dont have season passes was a good thing, i didnt even expect elden ring to get dlc because there was no season pass, and sure bloodborne had dlc but sony bankrolled that game anyway.
penis
Raw scale is hard to judge. Limgrave and Mountaintops are the same size, but Limgrave has much more content than Mountaintops.
>That's a scam of the centaury.
Sirs?
Fromslopers will slop.
>slopers
esl
worse
discordtrannies
Fromslop is discordtroony genre though. Half the Soulslop content creators trooned out.
Dont care still buying the deluxe edition
Seethe harder PC secondary
miyazaki is terrible at interviews and always undersells his games. Everything we saw in the trailer made it look a lot bigger than just limgrave
>NOOOOOO THE BASE GAME IS TOO BIG AND SPREAD OUT!!!!!
>NOOOOOO THE DLC IS TOO SMALL!!!
Yeah but from previews it looks like there's going to be at least three Stormveil sized areas to explore, one Leyandell Capital to explore, and another Nokron, and that's just from what we can see
>It's hard to answer without giving away too much and to a high degree of accuracy
Interesting that he’s implying that revealing the size of the expansion is somehow a story-related spoiler
>Previously the divide between field and dungeon areas was quite distinct. "This time, we wanted to go more in depth and bring a DENSER and RICHER level design, which brings these types of layout together a little more seamlessly," said Miyazaki. "There of course will be large open areas, there of course will be legacy dungeons, but we've also experimented with something a little more in-between these as well to bring a more diverse gameplay experience
SOTE a confirmed Skyward Sword-like
makes sense considering there’s probably more underground frickery afoot
reminder that this was a $20 dlc for a game from 8 years ago
Witcher 3 isn't a very fun game, though. It's a great book, but that's all.
Neither is ER
>shazamtrannies coping this much after loss after loss after loss after loss
tendies (because the shazamtrannies are from a tendie discord) have been melting down all day lol
the trailer demonstrates that there's more buildings per square mile in the dlc area than in limgrave. it's a smaller area than expected but it's more dense. that's a great tradeoff, preferred really
>$60 for 7 areas base game
>$40 for 1.5 area dlc
holy shit from has gone so israeli
>$60 for 1(one) Horse armor in a isometric
At least they ain't fricking blizzard
In fact a better comparison
>2 1/2 years of work
$40
Compared to
>1 hour of work
$60
>From dlc practices are better than blizzards!
really setting the bar high there aren't you
if you preorder digital shit let alone fricking DLC, you're a cuck and sheeple
>t.endieroon buying 4 copies of Tears of the Rectum
I'm a PC CHAD, you filthy Black person.
now bend over and spread your cheeks.
cuck.
If we go by the entirety of Limgrave it'll be the size of the main area, plus the lower peninsula and the underground areas based on how each zone has a main and sub zone (i.e. atlus plateau and leyndell, liurnia and the valley tops/carian manor, upper and lower caelid, mt gelmir and volcano manor, giant mountains and consecrated snowfield).
So it's an area about 1/4 to 1/5 the size of the base game for $40, good enough for me since it'll be much denser than main game zones for sure.
what a fricken let down this has been. I wanted a bigger world with more lands, not a fricken side quest zone area that is irrelevant to the main game/story
what a waste. 2 years for a stand alone quest
>side quest zone area
why wouldn't you expect that, it's how every souls dlc is
>irrelevant to the main game/story
>caring about story in a souls game
lel. and it's not irrelevant, it follows up on what miquella is doing, the one empyrean we didn't see in the base game, plus more of marika's backstory
Yes, I would've loved if they expanded more on the material already there or something. Honestly, I'd prefer a sequel. Then again, the DLC has something to do with Miquella, so I guess it is expanding on what's already there. I hope the DLC isn't almost entirely about Miquella and does give more focus to characters that were in the base game.
that's how from has always done dlc - side content that doesn't tie into the main game story
only ds2 is somewhat of an outlier
FRICK OFF BRAINLET moron
your train of thinking is what lead to Starfield
that's fine as long as we get 2 legacy dungeons
The size of Limgrave will be fine IF it's more tightly designed, Castles that provide a Stormviel type level expierence, and hopefully lots of Dungeons and portals that load up smaller levels or take you to different areas, this allows for more flexibility than a completely open world and the expieremented with it in the base game
Seriously if it's as small as Limgrave they didn't design it like a Open world but a huge ass hub area. The blue flowers field is a level and boss fight you teleport too ect
...Because if the entire DLC is only as big as the starting area...its not exactly something you admit too pre-release
Also the way he worded it(it's hard too say) makes me think it's not just one map but hub world like
Except when the starting area is 1/3 the landmass of the entire fricking Game Shazam-kun.
Limgrave with actually well designed bosses is game of the year (yes im coping frick you)
You've never heard of content density?
shazamtroons are out in full force today, elden ring's success really perma mindbroke them.
I would literally pay 100$ to fight melania with this new skill. Shit looks kino.
Where did you find this clip?
it's DS3 blind spot, the new reverse grip twin swords ash of war is basically that with a combination of quick step.
Dark souls 3 you mongoloid
Actual level design is confirmed back and open worldgays only care that the empty grass fields are slightly smaller than the main game's empty grass fields. This is the audience fromsoftware has courted by following industry meme trends.
>FROM is actually giving a shit about level design and making denser content out of a single area (and if it's based off of Limgrave as a metric, that's a good sign)
>"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY CAN'T IT BE EMPTY FIELDS WITH SCATTERED LOCATIONS???"
There are some absolutely mindbroken detergent drinkers on this board, holy frick.
but the latter makes the world feel more like an actual world instead of a theme park
I don't give a frick how big the area is. I want it to be good.
People are really overanalyzing a throwaway approximation, the amount of content we've seen from the trailer alone indicates it's bigger than Limgrave. And Fromsoft tends to not give away much in their trailers, the Elden Ring trailer was mostly just Limgrave.
>Holy SHIT, so this 40$ dollar only has content of ONE FRICKING ZONE from the base game???????
reminder the er audience is the same people who own funko pops and only bought er because of game of thrones, most of them who buy the dlc wont even finish it and then will watch clickbait videos on it and post memes to circlejerk about how it's the greatest vidya of all time
>tendie being this mindbroken
>no indication he is a tendie
>immediately assumes this to cope
>implying it’s not only painfully obvious, but easily readable on the discord, as to which talking points the tendies are using
Well I'll just get it for free then, if it was the size of two zones maybe, one is not enough at all.
You can fit a lot of stuff in Limgrave.
first time through limgrave (doing practically everything) is like 30 hours
account for DLC being harder and we're talking 31 hours BABY
I bought Elden Ring a year after release for £30. Ridiculously good value for money. You can't even buy Sekiro for that cheap
Although at this point I don't think I could wait a year after release for the DLC
And now buying ER+DLC is cheaper than buying ER when on sale before plus DLC, damnit bamco put a special discount for those who already bought it
He also said it's denser in content
Doesn't Limgrave stretch fron Stormveil to Morne?
That's pretty fricking big in terms of just landmass, let alone considering this is post game level shit so there's probably gonna be way more complex level areas
>40$ expansion having 1/8 of content is good because.... Uhhhh... Because I'm a cuck
>discord trannies trying this hard
just give up bro, Elden Ring is game of the decade, go play some gatcha or something more your style.
nah that's you
Morne is in the Weeping Peninsula. Limgrave afaik is only the starting zone until bridge in the south, Caelid in the east transition to Lakes in the north.
I'm a believer that the DLC will be bigger than implied so I'm not worried on the size comparisons.
The price point is steep so I'm naturally curious if it will be worth it. It could be anywhere from 10-40 hours in length judging from the base game and how much content people do. Will just have to wait and see.
but Weeping Peninusla has Limgrave music
I don't know if I made it up or it was due to something an NPC said but I always thought of the Weeping Peninsula as being part of Limgrave. Hopefully Miyazaki thinks the same.
I've listened to some youtubers opine the same. What I don't understand is if they've updated the system requirements. Both ER and SotET supposedly need 60GB storage available. For the DLC to double the size of the base game you would need to have a massive amount of new models, video, sound etc. Without it, it's a bit tough guessing how much new stuff there will be.
>more open world slop
yawn
who wants to bet there will be recolor bosses?
Does he mean Limgrave Limgrave? ...Or LIMGRAVE Limgrave...
You could take "Limgrave" to include Weeping Peninsula and the underground areas too.
Kek, mountain top really is a fraud, I initially thought it would be really big.
can say the same for mt gelmir
Took me more time to explore the manor than all the shit around it
it is horizontally as big as Limgrave, vertically as dense as Haligtree
they always do this
Yeah, and Old Hunters only had three areas.
I fricking hate the obsession with TORtanic.
You're fricking dumb he is saying the OPEN part is limgrave. But it will be at least 3 legacy dungeons if not 4.
HOLY SHIT I DON'T CARE
Limgrave is my favorite region. This ne region can also be a very dense.
It's been two years since I played elden ring. Maybe back then I would have paid for the dlc but I'm not interested in the game anymore and seems like it would take work to get back into the groove and feel of the game just to play dlc
Where will it be located?
It’s in an alternate plane of existence.
But we will be able to travel back and forth between those planes via bonfires and tp?
it will be underground.
Lore mentions something about a second Erdtree
>Famitsu: Another thing that we want to know, is about the volume of the DLC. The ones for Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne were released in about one year, so the expectations for this one are huge.
>Miyazaki: Right, very sorry for keeping you waiting.
>But speaking about the volume of the DLC, it is clearly larger when compared to DS3 or Bloodborne. It is no mistake to say that this is our biggest DLC ever.
>Famitsu: That is beyond expectations! Why did it become so large?
>Miyazaki: When we thought about an experienc worthy of Elden Ring, we felt that this size was necessary.
>There are the threats that need to be overcome, and there is the degree of freedom to engage in that, there is the excitement of exploring the unknown, and what you might discover at the end of each journey - an altogether Elden Ring worthy adventure.
>Famitsu: So we get to taste that thrill again. What is the field like in the DLC?
>Miyazaki: It is new, different from the field in the main title.
>Of course there is the open field, legacy dungeons, and smaller dungeons. It is larger and more varied than Limgrave in the main title.
he compared it to limgrave in both interviews? it's over isn't it
If it’s bigger than old hunters then I don’t see the issue.
There's always the chance he is just fricking with us too
>100 hours to beat it
I'm 50 hours and haven't even entered Raya Lucaria
That seems about right. My first playthrough where I autistically combed through every single area and took notes to follow all the questlines took 150 hours total. You can rush straight to your goal in this game, but if you enjoy exploration you can really stretch your gametime a lot.
>30 hours
I was probably starting Liurnia at that time
>people beat it in 100 hours
In 100 hours I've made it to the mountaintops and was burn out completely.
How the frick do people play this game?
I dropped it at Haligtree long time ago but recently was thinking about getting back, starting from scratch, but the DLC trailer reminded me how much of a clusterfrick the game is. There really is such a thing as too much content. Doesn't help that it's heavily reused. They should've kept it legacy dungeons only, balance it around that, call it something Souls and call it a day.
It took me 109 hours to beat the game completely on a STR/FTH build (all dungeons, bosses ect) idk I’m not like super good at these games.
>How the frick do people play this game?
by not being autistic and clearing every inch of the map
That bit also gives me pause. I think Miyazaki is underselling how long it takes to check out most PoI on the map and how much time some bosses can take if you're not going in as OP as possible. If their goal was more open world and legacy dungeon integration, you might only have the size of Limgrave, but your going through it with the back and forth of DS1 or BB. Only with the final product can we really judge if he's talking shit or actually undersold it.
>The games story is 30 hours
That means nothing and is like comparing the main quest in Skyrim compared to how long it takes to beat doing a million optional things
Grow a brain Ganker
It'll be cracked day 1. Just pirate it.
I'd pay $500 for Elden Ring DLC. I'm not even joking. I genuinely enjoy video games and I've loved every From game since Demon's Souls. In every other hobby I have, I pay a premium for premium quality. If this DLC is short I'll be annoyed, but only because the open world meme is slowing down content releases.
The Old Hunters has 5 bosses
Shadow of the Erdtree over 10
So the price tag makes sense
>2(two) years for DLC
>0(zero) fixes to main game
>1 zone, and a bunch of shitty weapons when you have enough mats to +25 only like 3 weapons per NG
I will pirate it despite buying ER day 1 and every other from game/dlc day 1(even fricking SotFS and DS1 Remastered). Frick them and frick every normalgay that is okay with ER being so bad
>>1 zone, and a bunch of shitty weapons when you have enough mats to +25 only like 3 weapons per NG
moron
GOTY, no refunds, no reviewbombs. You gave it 10/10 now frick off
this is from the same guy who said that ER will be 20 hours long
>he didn't beat it in 20 hours
look at this 300 ms reaction speed boomer lmao
50 euro for fricking limgrave and a few bosses is absurd, I got the game for 45 euro ffs. None of their dlcs have ever been this absurdly priced.
moron
They said in the interview that it will be the size of Limgrave, but denser. That's an improvement in my book. The base game's replayability sucks, just like every other open-world game using shallow content to fill space.
>Already in the cope excuse phase
Fromdrones are truly something else
Not him, but have you seen the trailer or what? There are tons of different environments. The entirety of Limgrave looks the same. It's clearly going to have more content than 1 base-game zone
Did he lose weight?
Fromsoft DLCs are always kino so my body is ready for Miyazaki-san's intrusion
That's perfectly fine if it's denser. The "legacy dungeons" were the only fun parts of ER. Cutting out the empty fields between them that only serve to destroy the flow of the game is an objective positive.
Now, if it's the size of Limgrave AND content is as scarce as in the main game then that's going to go down in history as the biggest vidya scam of 2024.
Apparently, aside from the typical legacy dungeon(s) level, they'll mix the legacy dungeon and the open field design this time, whatever that meant.
I gotta say it's going to feel bizzarre if all those smaller buildings we see in the distance aren't actually ruins with a single chest or sacred tears in them. Might make the base game issues stand out even more
>you risk your life just for some boipucci
>That's a scam of the centaury.
Damn I'd hate to get scammed by her!
It will be presumebly more content dense per meter than the base game
but it's fromsoft so the dense content will still be shit
Limgrave is pretty big, but it’s also empty, so if Miyazaki is talking about caverns or dungeons and not just empty fields then I’m hyped. Life is so expensive right now that $40 isn’t much, two sausage pizzas pies with tax will run you $50 where I’m from.
These complaints about the price are the discord shazam trolls.
You stupid fricking c**t drone, the dlc is almost the same price as an entire fricking game and he dismisses it as “trolling”. Kill your self and your who’re mother.
prostitute mother.
boomer anon, im sorry to tell you but games havent been 40 dollars in a long time
Hence why I said “almost”. Got the game for 45 euro. Asking 40 euro for the game expansion is more israeli than a noo Yoahk synagogue meeting.
Get your money up. Frick you motherfrick, I’ll frick your sister and your daddy too.
It’s still overpriced bullshit, bloody b***h bastard.
Fromtroony drones will literally defend even a 99 dollarydoo price tag on a fresh shit Miyazaki took.
Just get a job, lmao. You'll scrape together 40$ until summer somehow.
I already bought the DLC. Because Fromsoft always delivers. I'll be playing AC6 until it drops.
Cool, hope you enjoy AC6. You’re still a moronic slop consoomer, but I heard AC6 was good.
>I heard AC6 was good.
If you were a based Brahmin and not an untouchable you would have a PC that can play AC6 and would know firsthand that it was good. Just shut the hell up and start saving your rupees and you can play Miyazaki’s masterpiece expansion like the rest of us.
Get a job thirdie.
Not poor don’t care.
Elden Ring's biggest problem was being too fricking big and having a shit ton of reused content
The DLC being smaller is a good thing
That said, I'm not playing it because I don't want to play ER again
Whole Dark Souls 1 is smaller than Limgrave. It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it.
why does the size matter? if they wanted they could just pad out a massive stretch if empty land
the density of things of the map and size of the dungeons is what matters
nintendo charged 70 dollars for botw dlc and it had zero new zones
>no vigor
>no shield
>can't dodge
These games are not for you.
Doesn't matter because i never finished the base game. Until they get rid of dying after taking 2 hits and enemies with zero opening, I'll play again.
OT: Guys, does anyone here have a friend who works at DICE and a contact could make possible?
My Black person what does this have to do with anything?
Nope, I'm looking for a contact my dude.
I guarantee you will absolutely never find a contact who works at DICE in a From Software thread about Elden Ring's DLC.
reminder that tendies paid $80 for a cardboard box
the size is fine, the price is fricking insane though
My reaction after seeing the trailer. We eating good, boys.
Damn discords really pushing the
>40 dollar dlc - not good value!!!
>30 hour expansion
so what's the issue? that's like 5 times bigger than any other expansion they ever made
>set my store to a third world shithole
>pay less than half the price
lmeow
Limgrave is the most content dense zone in the base game so that's good.
Get a job
No.
Limgrave is massive. Why the doomposting?
Open world cucks that think ‘bigger = better’ when the souls series has always shined with thoughtful and hand crafted level design. It’s already been confirmed from the trailer the shadow lands will be at least as big as Liurnia with much more verticality and density to it. A 30+ hour area filled with content is better than a stretched out 100+ hour world that runs out of steam way before you reach the final end zone.
I'm not paying that much for so little. Simple as.
Thankfully SMTV Vengence is out the same time, so I'll get that.
why is miyazaki starting to look more and more like the brick troll from bloodborne?
Isn't weeping penis technically part of limgrave?
yes
>$75 Australian for DLC
Nope. Not paying that. Get fricked.
I don't like the $40 price tag but otherwise I'm happy for a smaller and more well designed area. Elden Ring's open world bloat became very tiresome
Meanwhile, Genshin Impact offers a new giant region every two months and a new super-giant continent every year. It's all packed with hundreds of quests, events, dungeons and puzzles. For free.
Come back when your game has an option to skip conversations.
I would have paid full price and no cares. elden ring is the greatest game Ive ever played and just want more of it. fromsoft capcom and a few other nippon developers are carrying the industry on their backs and I have really liked all of their recent games. Im sure this expansion wont disappoint me.
Zased
You start the DLC in the underground area.
The size it's Limgrave + Peninsula + Altus + Haligtree + whole new underground area.
2 and a half legacy dungeons.
Seamless dungeons, no catacombs like the base game.
9 new "friendly" npcs
Difficulty it's at level of Farum Azula or Haligtree, sometimes even tougher.
6 main bosses + 4 optional bosses + 2 super bosses
How do you know that?
Dad works at Nintendo
That's nice. Can I see your dad, kid?
Cool, have you a friend who works at DICE,too?
Yeah but only as a janitor after the rape parties
I wanted to ask if he was familiar with entry-level jobs, does he know devs?
No. He told keep head down mouth shut. Good money.
Are there even enough tasks for a janitor?
Do you know how he got the job?
Extortion
Yikes. And I was hoping for something like SotFS. What a fool.
Weeping Peninsula is part of Limgrave. It doesn't have its own area name on the map and its sites of grace are in Limgrave's list.
This is literally the biggest DLC in all history of video games.
any guesses on what'll be the average normie's level when they enter the dlc? can't wait to invade
>average normie's level when they enter the dlc
All the returning normies will be 200 or some shit lol
500+
$70 complete physical edition annoncement in 3...2...
Do these guys really hide the content of DLCs? I never buy any so I don't know, but the few I was interested in, there was a list of everything that came with it.
I find it unbelievable that guys can sell a DLC without telling you what it contains and as an excuse say it's so as not to spoil the surprise. I'm pretty sure that's illegal in many countries, by the way. You're selling content for a game, but you refuse to say what people are going to get in this content... WTF?
From isn't really known for overpricing, at least not more than your average game company does it. And they are also not known for having projects stuff in dev-hell with nothing to show for it afterwards. It took ages to make, it's 40 dollars, and From has not given me a reason to doubt that it's gonna be humongous and worth it
>From isn't really known for overpricing
lol dark souls 3 says otherwise.
?
trannies before expansion trailer
>nooo elden ring is too big reeeee
trannies after expansion trailer
>nooo elden ring is too small reeee
If the DLC really took place in the center of the map like what people theorized, it might be slightly bigger than Limgrave indeed.
It's gonna be a separate map
Seperate in the sense that you can't run to it from the existing map
I mean brand new continent is very good and all
but I wish they've added an additional campaign layered over the original map, like a flying continent so tears of the kingdom gays would enter complete suicide watch
or even a lost island traversal at the sea, or adding even more underground areas. addressing the lack of replay value of the MAP should have been the focus, tied with some sort of randomization ala chalice dungeons
>Players can seamlessly travel back and forth between its vast maps interspersed with diverse situations and meticulous dungeons where menacing enemies roam.
Dunno what to think about it.
I predict it will be about the same length as DS3 2nd dlc.
"Shadow of" in video games usually means an imitation, so you're not really seeing the real Erdtree. It's like someone promising you'll see michael jackson for $300 tickets but its some imitator, your money down the drain.
What if the Erdtree in Lands Between is the fake one?
honestly the base game one IS like a golden ghost, while this one looks more physical
I don't give a shit about the size of the DLC. As long as the DLC fulfills the following conditions, I am satisfied:
1. No reskins of base game bosses. I don't want another Erdtree Avatar, Erdtree Burial Watchdog, Deathbird, Tibia Mariner, Crucible Knight, Night's Cavalry, etc. reskin.
2. No reskins of DLC bosses. Every boss has to be unique. Gonna give us only 5 bosses? Perfectly fine. As long as they're all unique and not variants or reskins. I'd prefer """""only"""""" 10 unique bosses as opposed to 30 bosses and like 20 of them are just lame reskins.
3. Meaningful buffs for shit weapon classes like Crossbows (PLEASE LET US EQUIP DIFFERENT AOWS ON THEM INSTEAD OF JUST FRICKING KICK) and Flails.
4. No loot that is only available via RNG drops. Please. No more of this stupid shit. Make everything purchasable, discoverable via shinies on the ground, or a 100% guaranteed drop from a boss.
5. Changes to the base game overworld, particularly fixing unsatisfying NPC questlines like Thops, Rogier or Yura.
I hope I like the game that they make with all of the Elden Ring money more than I liked Elden Ring. I hope you guys enjoy Shadow of the Erdtree.
>Zoomers on Ganker are now to young to be able to identify an expansion pack
No, it would seem that zoomers on Ganker are pretending to know what expansion packs are. Nothing described here sounds substantial enough to constitute an entire expansion pack; don’t kid yourself.
>An entire new area
>8 new weapon types
>New enemies, bosses, items, skills, spells and so on
Explain how it's not an expansion pack.
That’s a pretty slim “expansion pack” for $40.
homie you don't even know how much new content it will have. The only thing confirmed is the new area is bigger than Limgrave which was like 20% of the area of the base game or something.
Okay homie, if I don’t know then how do you?
New area over 20% the size of the base game.
8 new weapon types (base game as 32 weapon types, this is a 25% increase).
That is all we can confirm. The DLC is probably going to be 25-30% of the base game. Given the base game is around 60-80 hours on the first playthrough that is like 15-25 hours.
homie most $70 AAA games aren't that long.
homie why are $70 AAA games even part of the conversation? homie, since when is sheer length and a deluge of “content” the sign of a good video game?
Ok.
Baldurs Gate 2 was about 60-70 hours long on first completion.
Throne of Bhaal added about 15 hours of extra content.
Morrowind had about a 40-50 hour completion time on first playthrough.
Tribunal added about 8-10 hours of extra content.
Bloodmoon added about 10-12 hours of extra playtime.
Or don't these count because of some bullshit reason you're about to post?
It’s not so much that they don’t count that they have practically nothing to do with the topic at hand or change my opinion that $40 is pretty steep for Dark Souls 4 DLC.
Morrowinds expansions cost $30 at release. 8-10 hours of content and it cost $30.
You're complaining about getting twice that much content for $10 extra.
But anon, I don’t like content. I like video games. I’m not getting anything because I won’t be paying for an expansion to a game I thought was very mediocre.
Then why are you complaining about not buying it in a thread about it dimwit?
I guess I should just shut up and only post when I’m enthusiastic about buying something since that is what video games are actually about. You’re right. Sorry.
You're literally complaining about the price of something you're not going to buy. You are saying you don't feel the price is justified when you've also said you wont buy it because you didn't even like Elden Ring.
What the frick are you even arguing for? For the sake or arguing it sounds like.
Nope, but you do seem to be pretty jazzed up about getting in pointless arguments yourself. I’m just sharing my thoughts about the Elden Ding DLC. I’m a big fan of the other Souls games and am still somewhat invested in news surrounding Elden Ring as a result. There’s no need for you to take my opinions about a video game that you didn’t make so personally.
>New huge hub like area
>New dungeons
>New bosses
>New weapons types and armor
>New characters (maybe)
>Will most likely affect the base game too like any GOOD expansion pack did
Tell me how its not an expansion pack
>Will most likely affect the base game too like any GOOD expansion pack did
One of the interviews confirmed this isn't the case
>huge
Citation needed.
I’m glad he said their next game isn’t gonna be Elden Ring 2. I don’t want these guys to have to keep making Dark Souls over and over again forever
Depends on what kind of game they're making next time.
I don't really care about the price since I'll be playing it for free
Before trailer:
>ENJOY YOUR DLC FULL OF EMPTY SPACE FROMSLOPPERS
After trailer:
>AHAHAHAH IT'S ONLY AS BIG AS LIMGRAVE, ENJOY THE SCAM FROMSLOPPERS
Fricking embarassing how low some "people" get in order to annoy strangers on the internet.
>NOOOOOOO THE DLC HAS TO BE SHIT
Fromsoft DLCs have always been padded as shit. I dunno why people got so excited. The company should have just focused to making a sequel or the next souls-like successor.
Because the DLCs have almost always been the best part of the games. The only "bad" dlc was ashes of ariandel, and mostly because it was more of a prologue for the ringed city.
everyone remembers stuff like Gael, but everyone forgets shit like Spear of the Church. my point still stands. having 2 good bosses doesn't justify the price.
Well Shadow of the Erdtree is going to have 12+ bosses so we'll see. For a place suppposedly the size of Limgrave, they will be forced to make it denser to make boss placements make more sense.
Forty bucks is too much for an expansion or DLC. Forty bucks is more than half the full price of the base game.
elden ring threads should be banned
