>buy a game from "Le hardest game studio"
>Complain that it is hard
??
the DLC is literally harder than Malenia
How did FromSoft get into this arms race with itself where every game and every DLC needs to be the HARDEST EVER and constantly one-upping themselves
It is kind of insane, like if you compare the difficulty of Demons Souls or the OG Dark Souls to Elden Ring, Elden Ring is wayyyyy harder than either of those two games ever were. They're definitely leaning into the skill creep to the point where I'm sure it's gotta be really hard for new players to get into the series.
From a business standpoint, they’ll have to let up at a certain level. They’ll one up Elden ring yet again and maybe it won’t be the next game but one of their titles will be deemed too much and then the following title will be piss easy
The endgame and DLC is hard, shit like Limgrave and Liurnia are basically 40 hours of training wheels with only a few bumps.
Margitt alone (Literally the first boss in Elden Ring) is harder than literally any boss in Demon's Souls or Dark Souls.
>the DLC is literally harder than Malenia
Yeah no.
There is nothing in the game even remotely as hard to dodge as a point blank waterfowl
>TOO HARD WAHHHHHHHHH
I now will buy the game
performance issues mostly
No, I am reading through all negative reviews and so far the ones that mention performance also mention unbalanced bosses at the same time
The bosses act the same as the base game but the scaling is completely fricked unless you waste your time looking for items that upgrade your dlc level
prepare... TO DIE!
Edit: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!
Why are you so mindbroken over a marketing campaign that ran 13 years ago? You probably weren't even born yet.
Because it's what turned an interesting franchise into streamer slop.
>RRRREEEAAAAAGHGHHHHH WAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAAAHHWWAAAAAAAAHHH THE SERIES IS BAD NOW BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE LIKE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
This isn't the flex you think it is.
>This isn't the flex you think it is.
Go back to Twitter with you Black person speak.
The quality of these games have only gotten better with each release.
Streamers jumping on a bandwagon happens with all big releases.
In fact Souls games filters the worst of the bunch because even with summons they get stuck and give up.
You're upset about it because people like to watch other people play it?
You're malding because the game is known for being challenging but fair?
What the frick is wrong with you? You've been seething over a decade for the dumbest reason imaginable. Holy frick. Why do we have to share a board with you fricking morons?
>You're upset about it because people like to watch other people play it?
No, because instead of coming up with fun and creative scenarios, like demons did and some of dark souls 1 did, it became just a fest of making the same flipping guy and dragon boss and giving them longer combos and bigger health pools.
So that streamers could do moronic challenges of playing with their feet or hands tied or whatever other bullshit.
Difficultly served creativity in the early games and they felt fresh and new, now it's just a memorization game, but it's always the same challenge.
What a bunch of horseshit.
You think the marketing tag "Prepare to Die" is what governs the development cycle at From? What a complete basketcase. Fromsoft stood out because they DIDN'T follow the market and went back and made games they liked. You're just a fricking idiot making up bullshit because you don't want to play some of the best games made in the last decade because they somehow trigger you dysphoria, you fricking mental patient.
>You think the marketing tag "Prepare to Die" is what governs the development cycle at From?
No, the tag is emblematic of what they felt the identity of their brand had become.
It's not the tag itself, but it's telling on their reasoning.
The proof is in the games themselves.
Every other boss has been a variation of Artorias, or the dragons, and they never tried to shake things up with environments like they did with catacombs or blight town.
Just teleport everywhere and rush to the next boss.
>hallenging but fair
lol
LMAO
HAHAHAHA
Dumb frick. For context I have beat the game up to NG+4 the game is not "fair" enemies can swing through walls for fricks sake.
I don't give a frick what your psycho brain thinks.
The game is popular for streams because it is challenging but fair.
Argue against the truth all you want, you fricking idiot -- it only reinforces what a jackass you are.
Just remove the fair bit you colossal fricking moron. The game is not fair. The AI cheats.
Challenging sure. Fair no.
>IT'S NOT FAIR REEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Yes it is. That's what keeps it engaging. There are other 'more difficult' games out there, like shmups, but those don't get the 'challenging but fair' right, so they're not as popular to watch.
Stop being a fricking sperg.

No, because of bad performance and error messages.
This, it runs like shit on my potato. sometimes the frame rate drops to 25fps it's horrible.
I have a good pc and shit still drops honestly I think it helps me dodge sometimes
It's not only that. The DLC runs bad and crashes for many people.
Nah, it's not too hard. I'm playing it in NG+ and the only real trouble is some of the bosses. Seeing so many blood splatters around common enemies makes me think people are going here underleveled and getting their asses handed to them.
>NG+
Have fun never beating Radahn until he's nerfed
NTA but NG+ has been pretty simple so far
>simple so far
GL on Radahn.
Every attack he does also adds aoe explosions and he constantly spams massive AOE attacks
Bitch, you gotta beat Radman before you can do the DLC, so I had to beat him in NG+ already to be playing it.

I want to strangle all of you
you homosexuals are so annoying
the levelling system is inadequate, even if you collect all the fragments of a given area youre still left unprepared for the boss at the end of that area
rellana, putrescent knight, bayle, arguably golden hippo, to name a few
you shouldnt have to finish an entire area then leave the boss fight on the back burner

nah, you're just trash

What idiot said that?
Too hard? nah, just fricking boring, why would i sit there and actually memorize how the boss shuffles his ballsack when i could just run in circles and use jump attacks

You still need to memorize the boss attack patterns to learn those windows of opportunity anon
you literally don't
the boss will randomly decide to just die due to RNG moveset choice and get dunked on by poise breaks from jump attacks

why bother interacting with them? especially if they have 'annoying' movesets
are you serious dude? i was int build, i picked up the moonlight greatsword and suddenly found that if i just jump attack i don't have to worry about a thing
i had terrible luck with my bosses dodging my spells constantly

BEAAAAAAAATCH
People pretend they're some no-hit god but most players/streamers I see are the latter. Throw in some summons and meta builds too.
Thing is, its especially valid and necessary this time around because of the low-uptime windows. Jump attacking with 10x bleedbite IS the proper way to do the fights and nearly everyone will do it. A master player might get a poke or two inbetween a combo but people act like Radahn or Baysk aren't going to stomp your face in if you play any different.
The Scadutree Fragment mechanic does the most damage I've ever seen a single mechanic do to the overall game experience. Even the MHW Clutch Claw didn't cause half as much pain as the existence of those fragments buttfricking the balance .
Howso? You just pick them up while exploring the area then do the primary challenge in the area after.
The smithing stone thing is really weird. By the time you can do the dlc you would have bell bearings, so it doesn't make any sense to load zones up with stones. It's a really lazy and boring type of loot.
i think it's just so that you don't have to go out of your way to buy stones for all the DLC upgrades if you wanna upgrade them and try them out
The obvious solution to this is to have a merchant that sells all the low level stones in the DLC/give you all the bells once you enter.
That, or let high level stones upgrade lower tier weapons for cheaper
By the time you hit the DLC, you should naturally have the ability to buy everything up to 6
7, 8 and 9 are from the bell that you get in Farum Azula
So they should have just limited the DLC's drops to those.
They honestly should've just done upgrades with a point system..
Like, Ti is +1, a Large Ti. is +10. I can use Ti and L.Ti for upgrades +1 to +3 but then I can only use Ti. of higher rarity than L.Ti.
It makes total sense to me - DLC had a shitton of cool new weapons that you'd want to fully upgrade to use. It's nice to just go straight to the Smith and do that instead of farming souls and manually buying 7x12 ore types.
Same with the consumables - sure you csn waste your time grinding ingredients and crafting them, but it sure feels nice to just find the already made elemental RES items for example.
>The smithing stone thing is really weird.
No it's not
>By the time you can do the dlc you would have bell bearings
Doesn't matter, Fromsoftware WANTS you to upgrade new weapons to add to the arsenal. This is especially done in mind with new characters that will enter the DLC in NG even before finishing Mountaintops.
Fromsoftware is based for kicking in the balls the "Guts" morons that stick to 1 weapon (Rivers of Blood btw) by making their exploration miserable, and of course a chink is the epitome of the npc behaviour
They dont know thta 80% of normie players wont "waste" souls in a shop either they are to afraid of being underleveled.
>Fromsoftware is based for kicking in the balls the "Guts" morons that stick to 1 weapon (Rivers of Blood btw) by making their exploration miserable
I get enough souls to buy all the stones needed for a full weapon upgrade halfway through the dungeon I did to get said weapon
I do not find any enjoyment in killing 3 dogs with bloated stats standing over a corpse that has two (2) smithing stone 1s (ones).
>I get enough souls to buy all the stones needed for a full weapon upgrade halfway through the dungeon I did to get said weapon
It's not about choice or possibility. YOU WILL upgrade the new weapons, that's the rationale behind throwing stones at players. It's basic game design
No i won't. But way to make exploration unrewarding. It is amazing how we still can't get to SotN level exploration rewards after like two and half decades.
No, I won't. Because only a handful of them fit the stat spread I have and the armour I'm wearing.
All the smithing stone drops should give 5X what they do now in the DLC. it IS stupid to get like 1 lvl 3 smithing stone. I shouldnt need to pay as much as I have to in order to try a new weapon. You do get a lot of souls and its not super hard it is annoying and tedious though.
Also that guy is right about the big areas that feel empty. the base game areas felt like they had way more content. The DLC feels less dense than the base game, but has more running around and more sort of puzzle exploration in terms of figuring out how to get to different places. I didnt mind open world in the base game as much but it started to feel bad in the DLC, way too much running in between content. Even liurnia is better than some DLC spots.
> only one cap of the thousands of negative reviews supposedly complaining about difficulty
> it is saying the world is empty and rewards are bad
I honestly think the majority of players only played once and would not have all the bell's and even then "wasting" souls to buy mats isnt fun. Thre are lots of new weapons and they want you to try them, Also now you dont need to start NG+ a ton for the last upgrades since the DLC gives you 10+ of each

How is he wrong? The exploration sucks dick, rewards are fricking garbage. I can actually count the mount of spells and weapons i found on two hands. It's that fricking bad.
You run around an empty area for an hour and at the end find a fricking Smithing Stone [5] or something. What a fricking joke.
I agree with the reviewer too. I found a couple good, very specific use talismans and one weapon (that I won't use). The rest is just getting those fragments, which feels like a chore.
Based, fromkeks seething
it's not too hard, it's too unfair.
you watch the bosses more than you fight them.
especially Radahn is peak spaztic 16-hit combo roll slop.
and it's not a skill issue, these complains are from speed trunners, who beat Melania one handed.
it's simply a bad game
The skibidi fragments suck because they feel like a wow expansion mechanic, where you have to gather the expansion mana to get powerful and levelling is irrelevant

Fromgod won again
I’ll ask again because no one in the other thread knew for sure. Is this accurate or what? What remembrance boss should I be fighting after rellana?
this is fricking spastic holy shit
Anway the answer is Messmer (or golden hippo idk i think theyre both in shaddow keeps ive not done it yet)
from what i heard most the rememberence bosses and whole zones are optional, you can just go kill the final boss after messmer i presume
just play the game and explore around. it’s been out for 3 days and you’re already looking up guides, fricking shameful. explore homie, explore the world
I have work tomorrow and I wanna try and get a fair bit done today. I’m not gonna wack a giant flaming homies toes every time I see one either. Just let me see the main shit and I’ll do the side content later
You will miss out on ton of quest and items if you just explore around without guide.
kek I was just about to post about how confusing the map has been. I had to go clockwise around the map, taking paths through castles and at one point through a tunnel. It has been hard to tell if I am playing any of this right. It is very different than Elden Ring's semi-linear map.
>I had to go clockwise around the map, taking paths through castles and at one point through a tunnel. It has been hard to tell if I am playing any of this right
At what point in your life did you forget how to have fun?
I am having fun, but I can't tell if I am going backwards or going into areas I am not ready for yet. It is hard to tell if any of the exploration is intentionaly designed like this or not. The base game had a few shortcuts but it was still clear where your next destination is meant to be. I feel aimless.
You have to find the scat fragments, that's all that matters
Game itself is anti-fun
Dare I say
F I L T E R E D
>fextralife
holy frick, kys
the actual route is really simple
For the main route you go 1,2,3,4,5,14,15,16
7, 10 and 11 are bonus areas with specialized loot, unique bosses and more lore
9 and 12 are the Dragon hunter Quest
6 and 8 is the St Trina quest
13 is the frenzy Quest
Pick and choose what order you want to do them in and your golden.
How do you even get into that zone marked 2?
You have to fight Messmer in the shadowkeep to get to the top of the left area but everywhere else you can go from the shadow keep after the hippo
Also Pink makes no sense you can go to the dragon peak after Rellana frick probably even before the top right area does not connect to it.
How do you get to the Zone 2, west of the starting area? There's just a high cliff there and no way to scale it.
from the grace before going to belurat turn left and walk along the mountain path.

>Do these people not know what game they're playing?
And? You're still free to express your opinion and critique on the game, as a paying customer.
This is akin to the "it's shit on purpose" defense.
It doesn't matter if it's a deliberate design choice, if people don't like it they will let you know.
The question is: If you're enjoying the game, why do you give a shit about Steam reviews?
your criticism is automatically invalidated by anyone who is better at the game than you disagreeing. they know more about it than you, as game knowledge=skill. the only thing your negative review about difficulty of all things is a signal to other people who aren't good at the game and have no desire to become good at the game that this isn't the game for them. which it isn't.
>your criticism is automatically invalidated by someone better at the game than you disagreeing
okay, your game is trash and the DLC sucks ass. next cope?
Criticism is subjective even when well argued.
I can find the difficultly curve to be bad even with the acknowledgement that some people manage to climb it with little to no issue.
You're free to dismiss any criticism that doesn't allign with your taste and experience, but it doesn't invalidate it outright.
By that logic there would never be a point where the difficultly curve is off balance, because there's always going to be some autistic player who can get through it anyway.
It's a matter if taste, which is what all criticism of works if art is, despite many moronic gamers thinking their critique is le fair and le objective one.

there is a reason why the base game is overwhelmingly positive while the DLC is negative

theres also no feeling of significance to any of the fights, no context for anything

Parryshitter trying to dunk on roll shitters.
Kek.
You think spamming parry with the occasional jump or mikiri is really all that complex?
>spamming parry
I know you didn't play the game homosexual, parry is a whole lot better than thinking you're good at videogames for using i-frames a ton and running away from bosses, yeah. Rollshitters have no reflexes, they just memorise shit, all the game needed to throw off veterans and piss them off was to add a delay
You're moronic.
Iframes on rolls aren't different from active frames on parries.
You think memorization isn't involved in parrying a combo? You drunk? You're doing the same fricking thing but instead of rolling at the right time, the guy on screen is raising the sword at the right moment.
Positioni isnt even a thing for 90% of bosses in sekiro, just memorize the parry pattern and jump or mikiri when you see red.
Difference in speed and the fact that Sekiro isn't a game that relies on bosses using massive two-hit kill damage to pad the runtime of their game and its le difficulty. ER's entire design philosophy is garbage, after making Demon Souls four times, the game still sucks. Maybe souls games are just shit?
My build does not require rolling, I use tons of guard counters and shoulder charges.
Sorry your too stunted to play this game without just spamming the same 2 buttons in a row like in DS1/2/3.
You rolled in the webm, also show this shit on a rememberance boss.

peak japanese
>muh difficulty
you are playing a woman's game. remember that.
Why are soulslop so popular with gamer gurls? None of them played Armored Core VI, for example.
>None of them played an autistic mecha game
YOU DON'T SAY
But they play the autistic fantasy game, which is arguably much harder.
Base ER has a lot of ways to lower the difficulty. Spirit ashes, OP weapons, coop, magic build, using a shield, over leveling to name a few. No such things in AC.
Songbirds + stun needle made the game a cakewalk.
I guess you have to get over the Balteus hump first.
Those two things got nerfed pretty hard. Not saying AC6 is a difficult game, but you have to learn how to play if you want to beat it, contrary to most Souls. For example DS1 was piss easy with a shield and big poise build.
Ok but all these girl streamers buy games on D1.
You can't tell me they skipped the game because they nerfed stuff a years later.
>arguably
AC6 is the easiest game fromsoft has made since AC4FA
Every single boss in the game can be cheesed and there's no penalty for switching to a cheese build right before the boss arena. For S ranking every mission you can first unlock all parts and then just run a meta PVP build into the big spectacle boss fights for a cakewalk.
Pre-nerf balteus could be cheesed by putting max dps weapons on a tank and just facehugging him, that's what I did. Post nerf balteus is cakewalk even with LOADER 4
I keep getting Sasha fricking Grey playing elden slop in my recommended lmao with 3k+ simps watching her at all times
>every boss now has 10-hit delayed combos with AoEs on top

Miyazaki will never do another souls like game.
his next game will be a full on DMC action game.
worse, the enemies will be designed as if they're from a DMC game while the player will move like they've got a rock glued to them
there's countless mobility options and you choose none
Average steamie is playing on a toaster in 1080p and can barely run the game, MAYBE at best they have a decent videocard but usually their CPU and everything else is dogshit. Then it's a DLC which is centered around end-game content which is where most people give up as is. It makes me feel good knowing people still suck at games and probably life too. Having to change your strategies and actually try is a big ask for your average normie.

I'm here since original DeS launched. Same shitters were complaining about Flamelurker saying he is impossible.
But the Bloodborne DLC didn't do this weird level scaling thing. That is my manor complaint about the Elden Ring DLC, feels very weird they went this direction. It should have been based on the normal level progression with runes.
If they didn't have scaling, SL300+ characters would be clearing every boss first try while players who think they're too good to level that beat Mohg at SL60 with a +12 weapon and get into the DLC "early" would literally need to hit each boss 100+ times.
>If they didn't have scaling, SL300+ characters would be clearing every boss first try
Bro the scat fragments are just flat stats, SL300+ characters are probably around where you get like 20 scats since it's literally just flat damage and damage resist (aka shit you would get from 99 vig 99 end and 99 whatever damage stat and wearing fatfrick armour)
This, also who the frick levels up to 300+ besides the director himself who he admits is shit at his own games?
I'm actually happy they did that, otherwise my LV200 char would have rolled on most bosses effortlessly. I just beat Renalla after spending an hour or two on helping other players, it's crazy how harder she gets when you're in coop. Better fight her alone, with a spirit ash if you feel the need to. Just learn to jump 3 times in a row to avoid her orbital attacks and done.
no. it's being downvoted because it reuses a lot of content
well that and apparently the game doesn't run well with hardware even when they are among the best
so Ganker finally turned on FROMSOFT?
actual Ganker posters are currently busy enjoying the videogame. What you see are people who got filtered and went to Ganker to complain.
I have been enjoying most of it so far. But I had to take a break after 5 hours. So far my issues are:
>lack of guidance on where to go and what you are prepared for (even the base game suffered with this)
>stats significantly scale with a new item that is more tied to exploration than runes/successful fights
>story still a bit unclear (only 5 hours in so obviously it'll be better, just feels like strange motivation)
>map is unclear and has a lot of strange blocks preventing you from progressing when it looks normal on the map
>enemy balances are weird, like some enemies can get a boost to nearly one-shot you when they are otherwise very weak; some enemies are very easy and then you'l face an enemy that feels like it shouldn't be faced till much later (like the FOEs in Etrian Odyssey)
I am sure it'll grow on me, just think it could have used some better balancing and direction. I also encountered some performance issues for very specifc fights which made them much more frustrating than they should be. I am guessing most people share a similar sentiment.
No. Eat shit.
No
Yes
Yes, FROMsoft turns me on.
I'm literally wet with precum right now.
Ganker is a Nintendo board, Fromshit can eat shit
I hated fromsoft since they abandon everything that made ds2 the best game ever to make goyslop liks ds3 and elden shart
elden ring is literally ds2:2 thoughever
nope
Hate rollslop, simple as
Will preorder Sekino 2, but never buying soulslop ever again
There were always pro and anti Fromsoftwere anons here.
Since day 1 there have been OP builds and ways to play the game ez so even grifter streamers can do it. I dont understand why we think its so hard unless its just leftover from the "you didnt beat the game" meme. If you wanna watch literally anything go check what Asmon swapped his build to.

>the game is absolute and utter trash
Umm... Elden Ring sisters... How do we respond without sounding mad?
I agree, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Bloodborne were better 🙂
Elden Ring is boring. Play Selaco instead.
troony game
Medieval sperg shit is on every troony's GOTY list.
Play Divine Frequency.
I forget, why was selaco a troony game anyway
Divine Frequency is better than knock-off Zelda Ring
The DLC is good, but I would say the bosses are too hard. The end game bosses in the base game were already getting to the point where it was annoying and now they've given you the option to disable summons I've disabled the Maliketh, Godfrey and Radagon because I don't personally enjoy those fights.
The first two fights in the DLC felt very much the same, bosses have way too much health and deal way too much damage with movesets that don't have enough gaps to get a hit in without getting hit back.
I managed to beat both Dancing Lion and Rellana solo but it wasn't fun, Dancing Lion was a fight with the camrea and too many moves that have very little wind up so you are getting hit by stuff you just don't see coming, then in the elemental phases where you were dodging previously to be under the boss now its spraying lightning frost and other shit that hurts you from just standing in it, I'm honestly not even sure where the gaps in it were I got lucky and beat him and died in the same hit as I killed him with like no estus left.
Renella felt more fair, but you can't 1v1 her fairly I tried numerous times to be aggressive but her stupid anime combos either require precise timing or her moves come out too fast because I could roll one part but often the second part I would roll and get hit by something on the end. In the end I realized the best way to fight her is just play passivley, kite her around the arena roll away from her anime combos then punish her with a heavy attack after or a weapon art like piercing strike, that will stagger her after 3 hits giving you a riposte and free charge attack. Her magic spam wasn't too bad to dodge at a distance I also used the magic shield talisman +2 to reduce the damage from her.
I beat dancing lion in 3 tries. Rellana in under 10. It's clearly a skill issue on your side.
Clearly you're using an OP build.
Having an OP build is the whole fricking point of leveling and gearing systems
If your build isn't OP you just fricking suck
like who the frick purposefully makes "shit builds" these people are who you call the ignorant ones
>the fight wasn't hard I just stance broke the boss constantly with jump attacks and charged attack
No shit it wasn't hard you literally played on easy mode try with a smaller weapon that doesn't stance break after 2 jump attacks and give you free damage.
>WAAAAAA WAAAA MY BUILD SUCKS
you're trash
I broke their stances with dual hammers. I don't think stance breaking is OP.
If it is, atleast I'm not using magic or summons/ashes.
Honestly the first few bosses of the DLC are just kinda shit. Rellana, Dancing Lion, and Golden Hippo are all shit bosses. The later bosses are much better, and I enjoyed Messmer, Romina, Metyr, Midra, and the Scadtree Avatar
>bosses have way too much health and deal way too much damage with movesets that don't have enough gaps to get a hit in without getting hit back.
Anon, Messmer and the Frenzy guy is literally what that anon hated about the bosses, but on steroids. Literally unstoppable blender of attacks and rollcatches, Rellana and the Lion feel like DS1 bosses compared to them.
Is this the first DLC in Fromsoft history where the bosses are less fun that the vanilla game? Even Mohg totally mogs all of them so far.
>with movesets that don't have enough gaps to get a hit in without getting hit back
They do have enough gaps to hit without hitting back. You are probably being greeding and attacking more/using slower attacks than you should during those gaps because I could consistently get a hit without getting hit back with my colossal sword which is pretty slow.
>refuse to level up beyond arbitrary 150 cap
>refuse to have more than 30 vig
>use soreseal for no reason
>refuse to use summons
>refuse to do anything to make the game more fair for yourself
>WAHHHHH THE GAME IS TOOOO HARRDDDDD
ER has a problem with the ever increasing scaling across areas, instead of being linear like des or das where the power levels stay relatively contained across all the content, ER just goes more and more balls to the wall as it goes on, both numbers wise and enemy moveset wise
the dlc doubled down on this fact with the fricking scadutree blessing shit, so now every normal enemy can twoshot a 60 vig heavy armor morgotts rune user until you get the requisite number of blessings, and all the bosses move about as fast as malenia using waterfowl
I really wish FROM didn't hate tanking so much after it was an actually viable playstyle in dark souls 1
Any of you enjoyed the kino moments? I think the sound design and music are much better in the dlc than base game. The giant flower/tree boss was awesome once it got to phase 2 and got really weak after it used all its power and the music change was a kiss on the lips. Or did any of you get to the Shaman village I just AFK'd there for a while it reminded me of DS2 alot
>Zero references to Ranni
>Zero references to Melina
>Zero references to Gloam-Eyed Queen
They got nothing to do with this if you play the dlc you learn why. I would like to check if Malenia changes tho there is a moment the charm breaks from her brother but i doubt it.
They could have been given plenty of coherent reasons to be involved or interest or vaguely affected by the actors within the DLC in ways that actually explain the interesting mysteries about them.
The only one who is still alive just has no relation to most things since he was asleep but destined death still seems to be around you can find Godwyns face in places. Ranni wouldnt fit at all tho you get her aunt instead. I was happy to get things about St. Trina and the plot felt more focused

>extreme difficulty
Perceived difficulty you mean. They are gear simulators. The difficulty stems from a players ability to equip the correct fricking gear to do damage and not go for meme builds that do 5 damage per hit.
Perception is what shapes our world
Look at how many people play the game and refuse to upgrade their weapons. So many people are just utter fricking morons. Is the game difficult? Maybe if you have trouble tying your shoelaces.

Do you have any idea how many people who had never played a souls game before was drawn in by the hype and GRRM's name alone? I had talked about souls games to my collegaues for a decade, and they all turned their nose at them. Cue ER, they buy it on launch and a week later tell me they can't beat Margit. From wanted the Call of Duty audience and now they got it.

Yep, it's a skill issue. Git gud.
He changed his build a day or 2 ago. This DLC managed to do more to asmon than the whole base game could. He is now playing a greatshield wall build that was popular day 1 since its literally impossibly to break your block and he actually looks like he is having fun now.

My game just freeze and crashed a moment ago, never had that problem in base game.
I have mixed feelings about the DLC but the soundtrack is the best thing they’ve done in years. That lion boss theme is fricking crazy.
they are playing it wrong
the unique bosses are the best part of the game the part that's making the babies shitt heir pants
the rest is pretty lame, entire barren areas dedicated to few bosses that bring no challenge
unironically i'd rather the DLC just be a gauntlet of "bullshit" bosses if this is how they handle the open world
I didnt really believe people saying this much I thought most areas had enough going on but frick me the top right of the map is fully empty its just a spot for a quest. The whole area barely has any items and looks like there should be like 2 dungeons but there isnt just full of shitty sniping enemy's who miss their grabs
Yesterday I was watching Forsen for 6hours failing to beat fire/frost sword knight boss, either he is that bad or game difficulty is very hard.
He's bad, took me less than 10 minutes
He has +5 flask and was doing like 300 damage per hit. He is completely gimped, no shit the boss is hard in a fricking DLC where you're supposed to be maxed out
>you're supposed to be maxed out and SL150
>you're supposed to get scadoosh shards, being SL150 isn't relevant
can you fricking Fromdrones make up your minds
Due to how leveling and stats work, 60 is the soft cap. Going from 60-99 will basically just give you 100 hp compared to going from 1-60. A person going into the DLC level 100 or level 200 will basically experience the same shit. Now, the Scadutree fragments will raise all your base stats by 5%, and the max amount of Scadutree fragments in the map is 20. So the Scadutree fragments are where you get your power cause they are balanced around having 8 of them.
>watch for the combo
>jump the moons
this is all you need to do to win
It is interesting seeing the posts criticisms and praises.You can kind of tell who has played it (gives specific examples from the game, not shitting on people, fairly level headed responses) and who hasn't (extreme hyperboles, meme words, either its shit or perfect).

I was burned out on fromslop when ER first came out so I didn't pick it up but I bought it now with the DLC and I'm actually having a lot of fun with it.
I made a magic man and I'm just dumping all runes on int and pew pewing everyone to death from a distance while also using summons whenever possible.
Shit all over Margit on 3rd try last night with the Jellyfish and glintsone spam.
Yes, I'm beating the game.
I was burned out when DS3 came out, enjoyed ER on launch and now I'm burned out again with the DLC.
it would be 10x better and most of the difficulty complaints would go away if they
1. allowed the camera to clip and see through walls
2. zoomed the camera out slightly on large bosses
3. bound roll to press instead of release and moved run to a different button
At this point in the series I have to assume they're making the controls shit on purpose just for the sake of it being harder.
Its hilarious how they did this... in Sekiro and then just throw it all in the trash. ER is shit.
Absolute truth, brother. Cannot wait for the downfall, like when people realised Skyrim was a mediocre RPG after it was released again and again

This is so moronic, I'm skating back and forth on these stupid cliff ledges trying to weave through one million homing fireballs like I'm playing fricking 2hu praying that I don't miss a pot throw because I can't craft more of them mid-fight.
when you get up to the ledge they should always go to the same spot then just chuck em in. Its when they do the swipe attack you know they are inthe right spot
Frick every journo who gave this game a 10. The best feature of Souls was always the level design, that's been declining since Bloodborne and culminating with open world slop.
>40 new boss fights!
Frick off it was the journey to the boss that mattered, I'm sick of the over focus on le epic boss fights
Its hilarious how these cucks call enemies without even health bars "bosses" now, so they can claim it has 72 "bosses". When only 6 deserve that title.
The number of generic humanoid bosses is crazy, I've fought 5 so far, 3 of them were basically stun locked by my jump R2s.
the humanoid bosses are the best ones. the hippo is one of the most dishonest bosses in the entire game not just DLC.
Rennalla was a way better fight
They're more grounded in traditional souls game play, that doesn't make them good though. They're filler content to make up for the endless empty fields. Open World souls is a catastrophe for this franchise and gaming

I think the [insert copypasta about having no control over what happens in the game and passively waiting here] have been stretched to their breaking point in the DLC.
The cracks were already apparent in places in the base game.
It's not the losing that sucks. It's that winning sucks now.

That's just unreasonable, anon. I killed the Knight in ~5 attempts on a level 115 char with 1 Scadutree upgrade (+5% stats), Occult Watchdog Tree Greatsword. And I am terrible at these games.
People are leveling to 200+ and still struggling it's fricking hilarious how bad people are.
This shitty DLC has level scaling. Your level literally doesn't matter.
If you put more points into HP the enemies end up doing more damage in return. The only way to get less damage is to collect those stupid fragments.
Wow I guess you have to play the game instead of farming birds in Mohg's then. Oh no 🙂
>have zero fragments, enemies can nearly one-shot you even though they are beginner enemies
>spend 3 hours searching for fragments the game just hands to you, now can kill the enemies as they should be balanced
This is great, wow I feel like I am playing the game now
i genuinely don't know how anyone can have trouble with the mobs even with zero skibidis
The birds are fine. Most of the soldier goons are fine, unless they power up then they are way too OP. I also just faced one that threw honing grenades which took out half my health even though he is otherwise easy. The gargoyles are now even easier, and many others like the dogs are easier. The shadow guys are stupid easy, but maybe that is the point. It just feels like they messed with the balance to where they are either a pushover or way too OP all of the sudden.
>Your level literally doesn't matter
Then why put levels in the game at all
RPG mechanics in Elden Ring do not work, because game expects you to hit hardcaps in Vigor and Stamina by default
It was never a fricking thing in every game but DS2 with shitty ADP stat(still you could choose to use shield or be magecuck, not an option in Elden Ring because you will be one tapped if you don't level Vigor at least until softcaps)
So uh, you just have to beat them with skill?

I just don't get how you can defend Elden Ring.
I love Dark Souls more than any other game and Elden Ring is just a huge middle finger.
They didn't want to make an experience, they wanted to make a product to maximize profits which completely compromised the soul of the game.
Zelda was wildly successful with open world and crafting, so From had to follow suit and everybody lapped it the frick up.
Some of the best memories I have playing video games were going through Dark Souls with my friends, but going through Elden Ring with them was such a slog and a hassle.
Every boss had awful design and PAINFULLY transparent player-punishing mechanics that forces you to dodge roll for 90% of the fight.

I think the scadutree fragment system works fine to make the DLC balanced for a wide range of players. Seems like stats are strictly for min max and equipment requirements which is perfect.
My only complaint is I spent far too much time without a map, making me follow graces, and getting lots of fragments. Now I'm overleveled for half the content as idk what max scadutree is.
>Put on a shield
>Take no damage
Really not that hard is it lads?
Honestly couldn't give a shit about this DLC. I've been into these games since Anons on Ganker were posting shitass translations when we all had to import jp copies of Demon's because we were all so certain that it would never hit the west.
Elden Ring feels like it misses the mark as to why people liked these games, and it makes complete sense why Elden Ring is the biggest, best selling, most popular one and is widely regarded as "the best" by people who barely made it any further than the academy.
Despite doing two whole playthroughs I'm not even sure if I even like Elden Ring.

Don't worry, it isn't going anywhere. I am hoping they patch some balance fixes for it. It is just more of Elden Ring. Imagine if they squeezed the map to 1/4th the size and tried to cram in 1/5th the content into it. That is basically it- just more Elden Ring.
It has garbage performance on PC, you don't even read 3 negative reviews before making a moronic post like this

i do not want to ride torrent 20 hours for my character to not be gimped, Fragments should've dropped from important bosses only so you could properly pace the fricking game
>BAAAAW
You're chinese, I get it. Shut your mouth already.
>Fragments should've dropped from important bosses only so you could properly pace the fricking game
This is game design 101. I don't think Miyazaki is capable of such moronation, this dlc has to be 100% Tanimura
>the game should pander to me, the trans speedrunner
nah
Enjoy those negative steam reviews. The schizo scat fragment placement is why so many are getting filtered. It's not their fault either, bad game design is to blame for once
don't care
Don´t care about you either
>the bosses are all a bunch of bullshit!
>but elden ring is actually super easy
both can be true, moron
why would you complain about a boss you steamrolled being bullshit?
cause i still felt bad after beating it cause the game is shit
Considering you can summon an assassin to kill the boss for you while you do nothing, yeah it's piss easy.
>summoning
it's easy without the summoning, you're just bad
I know, I don't summon. Just makes the difficulty of the game a literal joke, it's a literal meme amongst the playerbase.
no contradictions here. 2hit kill bosses are garbage. but ER bosses are knowledge-checks. Once you know how to dodge all the moves, anyone can beat them, it's just the big damage makes it take a lot longer to learn their moveset. But it's still not difficult. No mix-ups, no complicated control scheme to trip up players, dodge roll is extremely strong and can take you through the whole game.
Your game is just.. Not good. It's okay to admit that. You don't need a videogame to validate your ego or existence. You can gitgud in something important.
I believe in you.
>bro it's easy if you make the boss do no damage
DS1 bosses killed you in 6 hits so you had good chances to learn the moveset and move on without much tedium. Killing you in one to two hits really slows down the process. Don't be dishonest.
You're not bound to the game, anon. You can be a lot better than this.
why is it so hard to believe some people aren't struggling as hard?
i take 2-3 hits but because i have a little thing called HEALING, i can just keep going
its a good thing that the bosses dont do 20hit combos then...
most of the time they chip you first giving you a chance to just roll out or they push you out of the combo
I didn't say that? I said getting killed in two hits makes the game tedious and that it's not difficulty. Because bosses are a breeze once you learn the moves, it's just a big knowledge-check made tedious by over-punishing mistakes that you'll definitely make since you don't have the knowledge yet.
There's nothing there to surprise you, there's no actual skill-input in ER. But I'm not saying the player's are unskilled, they're definitely patient at the very least.
i don't even learn the patterns, i just react and it's enough since nothing one shots
That's good, anon.
idk man, i just think you're overreacting like everyone else
the game will be solved, the babies will be filtered and those who care to continue will improve like every game before this
>and those who care to continue will improve
If only this applied to Fromsoft
Over-reacting? I think it's a fair criticism on the game's systems. Yes the game will be solved and someone will inevitably no-roll no-damage the bosses, but that doesn't make things any better for the game, especially if From takes that as a challenge and bloats damage some more and makes longer combos.
As for babies being filtered, this is what I mean by using the game to prop up an ego. If you use the game as a measuring stick for worth, you won't be able to fairly criticize it and any criticism can and usually will end up feeling like a personal attack. The game hasn't really been improving since the first souls game honestly and there hasn't been much innovation.
>this is what I mean by using the game to prop up an ego. If you use the game as a measuring stick for worth
why do you people always mistake being called shitters for "ego"?
if someone was bad at fable and got called out for it you wouldn't say this shit
>why do you people always mistake being called shitters for "ego"?
>if someone was bad at fable and got called out for it you wouldn't say this shit
Fable doesn't have legions of drones crawling out of the woodwork and telling you to git gud if you have the mildest criticism
>mildest criticism
i've mostly been seeing people acting like the bosses are literally impossible with 20000 long combos that never end
the game is not like this
my big problem with er's boss design is that they break the illusion of "difficult but fair"
i felt in the previous souls games, especially the early ones like des and das, that both you and all enemies and bosses were tied down by stamina management, so when a boss did a big swing, you knew that you had a window of time to attack the enemy afterwards because they had to recoup some stamina
this got a bit worse incrementally with das2 and beyond, but er completely crossed the line of "difficult but fair"
now its all rote learning of 20 hit combos and hope the boss' next attack doesnt get sped up because of input reading
it's just not the kind of difficulty i got attracted to the souls games to
if i want spastic stuff, i will play a game in which both me and the bosses can have the same kind of spastic fun without a shitty stamina bar to tie me down but not the bosses
souls bosses never had stamina stfu shitter
>reading comprehension
i said it was an "illusion", dont be so defensive, and like the other anon said,
you are letting your ego get in the way of thinking straight
i never said i had trouble with stamina, but to deny that it gets in the way of going all out like the bosses is just denying reality
stamina management is the name of the game for the soulsborne series, and only sekiro broke out of this trend, and hence worked best against spastic enemies
i never even notice the stamina and i spam out full combos + rolls
>stamina
of all the things how is this the one giving you trouble?
er-gays think rote memorization is difficult
they simply dont understand the difference between difficulty and trial and error so dont bother discussing "difficulty" with them
>DS2 forces you to level ADP if you don't wanna get hit by everything
>"This is bad game design"
>Elden Ring forces you to collect a bunch of fragments spread through the entire map before you have a normal experience
>"THANK YOU MIYAZAKI YET ANOTHER MASTERPIECE"
When did Fromgays become a bunch of shiteaters who just eat up every single bad decision?
you dont need to level adp at all in ds2 cause that game has actual good controls and proper deadzones to dodge attacks just by walking
>implying
you needed something like 20 adp just to have DS1 level i-frames lol
wasn't that bad but it was also like 1 of 500 different things wrong with DS2
>you dont need to level adp at all in ds2 cause that game has actual good controls and proper deadzones to dodge attacks just by walking
HAHHAHAHAHAHHA
yeah that anon clearly didn't play DS2
much less on release
>Elden Ring forces you to collect a bunch of fragments spread through the entire map
Nah, you find high level weapons regularly - technically you never need to engage with the upgrade system
In Dark Souls you mean? The vast majority of your damage comes from upgrading weapons.
That's the entire fricking point, are you stupid? If you can't beat a boss, just go explore some more and come back later.
>just run through the empty fields bro
nah
I just beat lion solo and that might have been one of the worst fricking bosses from has done in a long time mechanically, camera and lighting phase are unforgivable.
Oh boy. Be careful not to rage quit on The Golden Hippo, it has 10 times worse camera and hitboxes than the Lion.
Lion hitboxes were mostly fine other than his grab coming out before he actually charges at you.
Lighting after effects and camera making his beyblade stupid to punish or defend against (shout outs to wind phase making him stick entirely to his safe attacks)
There is no chance they play tested this shit. Must have been too late for big changes by the time they finished all it's animations.
sologays a shizophrenics
play the game normally you morons
Most dogshit boss in all of these games
Actually can't win solo/without using ashes
just mash stormcaller on Great Stars or something
>watch the boss do a 20 hit mid air combo before being able to attack
THIS GAME IS PEAK ON GOD BRUH!!!
git gud
d rider
whats our password
>Played Lies of P before the DLC
>Enjoyed it more
At first I thought people saying a simple copy were insane but I am starting to agree with them
Why are steam users such babies like this? Furthermore why does it let you swap your updoot on a dime 3 years later?
retvrn
its the rollest of slops, the ultimate troonslop.
DLC feels like it has only one viable build, and if you dont have it you are fricked. This is exactly what made Elden so good, you could literally play any way you wanted.
>DLC feels like it has only one viable build
and what build is that?
jumping L2 dualwielding great weapons
that sounds genuinely awful, i just claw them ez
I'm playing full faith and the DLC is ez
sorry for your jump build
Dex homosexualory
Bleed katana, light roll, parry
>design bosses so they're difficult for the strongest builds
>anything else becomes unplayable
How long until people finally admit From is good at world building and complete shit at combat design
I never got why people think ER world is any good. It's a bare skeleton with a lot of bones missing, especially after the capitol it completely falls apart and it didn't have much going for it prior to that.
Tons of 'loregays' out there that just make shit up as they go and write whole blogs of fanfiction insisting it's all there and hinted at, but it's nothing but vapid nonsense.
if they made it stand alone they would probably sell more copies than the base game.
but no. they had to grip to the dying dlc model.
anyone have any number on how the dlc sold?
DLC is easy as frick. Don't know why everyone is struggling.
BASED nerf ignorer. It did nothing to stop it anyways
Must be from people who can't even enter the DLC
because it sucks, the one thing elden ring is trying to do is exploration and all it is is running on a horse through empty fields to go to the next boss area where you will dodge roll a ball achingly unfun fight to go to the next boring exploration segment until it just ends. the combat in these games just fricking sucks
but I don't dodge roll. I have 101 poise and heavy armor and heal on hit so I trade until the boss is dead. Str, Str/Faith, and Faith all have weapons that can do this.
cool but the shitty combat is still what it is, sekiro was much more fun and balanced because you have to think about parrying and timing instead of just rolling or in your case just absorbing damage from a boss that just spazzes out all over your screen
I may be done with this shit due to the amount of pointless dead ends that you HAVE to search to find the scat fragments. And if I have to kill another fricking dog...
Elden Ring brought in more noobs/casuals than any other "soulslike" in the past 10 years, most of which didn't finish the game before jumping into the DLC. This is normal
Just finished it.
Lion was just yet another large spastic boss where the actual difficulty comes with the camera.
Kinda bad boss.
Rennala was fine but also kinda average. Cringed when she pulled the Pontiff shit. Get more material Miyazaki.
The Gold Hippo was just the Lion actual except slower, pisseasy and ugly. One of the most wortheless bosses in all of Elden Ring.
Romina meanwhile was actually kinda fun - interesting design and moveset - fair fight and somehow the one scarlet rot boss in all of Elden Ring that doesn't feel like caner. Easily one of the best fights in the entire game period.
Messmer meanwhile just sucked - Melania again except this time you don't have a bullshit fast sword sing but a bullshit fast spear rush that you need to learn how to dodge or tank. This loser got designed to look good in trailers - not be a cool fight. Underwhelming.
At that point i wanted the game to be over already and Radahn as the final boss with this clearly unfinished moveset put me off entirely.
I am glad it's over. This wasn't worth the 40 bucks.
Time to play a better game (KIngdom Hearts 2)
Agreed with most of this. Romina and Messmer were both great, everything else was mediocre and Radahn is fricking awful. Also the scadutree mechanic is the worst most tedious bullshit I've ever seen.
Romina was the only fun boss this entire DLC. She also happened to be very easy in comparison to all the other bullshit bosses not to mention the moronic dragon with a trillion HP.
The hidden Fingers boss was good imo.
The Avatar of the Scadutree was decent as well.
I don't think I actually like any other boss in the DLC and I've fought every remembrance boss.
I think Radahn is absolute trash and he NEEDS his moveset reworked.
Absolutely trash encounter. Does not feel good to fight at all
rellana was fun
It's 'too hard' because the design is bad.
All difficulty is not equal. There's good difficulty, and then there's nonsense difficulty.
Kudos to From for not dumbing down their difficulty for the whining masses, but a very big un-kudos to From for making garbage design choices to pander to the git gud meme.
you will ROLL 40 times
you will ATTACK only once
and you will like it!
actual skill issue
i literally fight every boss by mindlessly smashing RB and then rolling when it's clearly about to attack
bosses are always attacking dumbass
damn, i guess i just imagined getting full claw combos off repeatedly for every fight
no need to lie, anon
by this point even blind people have seen the wombo combos of bossfights
>lie
dex builds would literally be worthless if you couldn't get full combos off, there's plenty of openings
the only thing you get full combos on is burger king, fatboy
>garbage design choices
such as?
read the post above you chief
i guess i must be a god then because that's not an issue i've ever had
or maybe the truth is a little more sad
Too many to list, but the HP/damage numbers are pretty frickin' naff, for a start
This DLC is the definition of artificial difficulty, because it literally scales damage and HP to unreasonable levels. Every fight becomes an insane drag.
all by me
She beat Lion in less than an hour solo with no summons btw, literally better than 99% of Ganker
I beat the Lion on the 2nd attempt.
It's not hard.
Every boss in the DLC is not that hard except for the final one, which is hard due to bullshit attacks
The Lion is not hard so long as you get a few blessing before the fight. People are charging head first into the boss fight and thinking their levels can carry them.
Blessing level is a meme
It's NOT any where near as strong as people seem to think.
I'm 19 blessing level, in strong armor, and my absorption only went from low 50s to mid 60s
19 Blessing is +76% to your damage and defense anon. That IS a lot and VERY noticeable.
50 absorption to 66 absorption is not noticable.
The damage increase is decent, but the defenses are pathetic.
She has regular +12 hour streams. The rabbit is a better gamer than 99% of Ganker.
Top percentile videogame addict.
>18k
>When she used to do 50k
God damn are vtumors falling off?
Simple, the market's oversaturated. Back in the early days, you watched whoever was available, but now even within hoe-girlve, you've got a much wider selection of choices.
She still regularly gets 50k+, ER just isn't exactly a high viewership game.
nah just watching my husband Ao-chan instead
Rellana is a fun boss in the sense that it's funny to watch hosts get dunked on by the double moon when summoning for her.
Fricking lol. AT NO POINT in gaming history this or the previous titles were ever hard games. People are genuinly moronic.
>playing solo is too hard and arduous
>using summons makes the game too easy
What is the solution here? Fromsoft put themselves in a hole trying to capture the magic of BB and sekiro without actually updating combat. I'm 100% sure people complaining about difficulty arent using shields, parry or spells to gain advantage but using them feels equally cheap as using a summon.
Playing solo is not hard and arduous.
Get good. This is an RPG, there are already various cheese builds for the bosses.
With playing solo i mean avoiding all cheese builds. If you cheese, you didn't beat the game. This shit existed since DS1 once people realised you can parry the final boss.
