[The Infectious Paradox]

Boys I'm stuck in a spot where I can't watch the trailer rn. What do you see in it? Much combat and bosses??

 

[SantaC]

I just saw the new gravity sword omg

 

[Saber]

how long till easy mode beggars come out of the woodwork?

I expect 3 different threads with the follow generic almost AI excuses:

- I don't have time to play games
- I have no interest on investing or "getting gud". I have a life
- Alot of games have, I see no reason why this one shouldn't
- More choices are better
- You guys are a bunch of toxic people trying to exclude the rest of people who would like to play these games
- Here we go with Soul fans , the most noxious fanboys, being petty about their precious game

Made a gif

Can you do one of the opening on horseback?

Fuck easy mode.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I guess the physical collector's link for US isn't live yet? I'm just finding EU.

[Zuzu]

It looks good but I do hope the bosses are better balanced compared to the base game.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I think I am going to sit this one out. Don't feel like fighting fire giant with a bigger health bar and more phases. No new weapons or spells are even remotely functionally different from what I have already experienced in the base game and with mods. Also, the DLC seems to add no additional backstory and seems different in tone.

[Dr. Suchong]

No idea what's going on, no idea what I'm doing in Elden ring either, after a small break.
But can't wait to be confused and enthralled, whilst having anxiety about my build choices.

 

[Bartski]

is that a giant frenzy flame beaming tower in the middle?

 

[Nickolaidas]

Is this the most expensive DLC ever?

Think of it this way.

This DLC will provide you with days of entertainment as you explore new content, areas, enemies, skills and bosses.

Meanwhile, with 10$ you get a skin for one character in Mortal Kombat 1.

 

[Peter303]

Someone mentioned Mohgs Castle and I thought I don't remember that. Looked it up and it appears I never found him or fought him. I'm so crap at Elden Ring

 

[SantaC]

I hope fromsoft comes out and say how big the DLC is

 

[Aesius]

My Unga Bunga Fingerprint Shield and Ruins Greatsword-wielding strength beast awaits these new puny-ass bosses.

 

[EviLore]

Can you do one of the opening on horseback?

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Your mother

 

[tommib]

 

[Raphael]

Bartski

Does that mean its completely seperate from the base game and you start from scratch?
I would actually love that. ER is too big for me as is.

 

[Chechack]

This doesnt look like dlc man this like a whole huge ass game

Same date as SMT 5 also sigh im gonna be broke on June

 

[ChoosableOne]

Now I have to finish BG3 before summer.

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Hype

 

[skit_data]

I wonder if my NG+5 character Blodil will get her ass handed to her if I enter the DLC. I remember The Old Hunters DLC being brutal af when using a character that were a couple of cycles in.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Not arguing, just observing

In films and story-driven games I agree with you 100%. The multi-verse has ruined the MCU.

But in a non-narrative game, where gameplay is king I have no issue with it.

 

[Facism]

any information on whether this DLC is post-game or not?

 

[Kenneth Haight]

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

The egg in Mohg's area seems to be the gateway to the DLC.

 

[EviLore]

 

[Saber]

any information on whether this DLC is post-game or not?

Probably not. It shows Mogh battle area where Miquella cocoon is. Thats likely the DLC starting warp.

 

[digdug2]

Meanwhile, with 10$ you get a skin for one character in Mortal Kombat 1.

And if you spend $25 in CoD, you can get a new character, a couple guns, and some additional useless bullshit.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I mean, I'll buy it anyway, but $40 is in-effin'-sane price tag, especially if they're again will be copy & pasting / reusing "bosses" dozens of times.
I sure hope that From at the very least will expand the already existing map and integrate this DLC into the main game to seamlessly transition from one of the endings into the expansion and continue playing.

The main game's map is gigantic and empty, there's almost nothing there to find and explore beyond groups of enemies, somewhat the same looking dungeons and story locations. The map below is severely underused in comparison to what's on the surface and it'll be cool to see and explore more of what lies bellow along with more and new meaningful content above.

No new weapons or spells are even remotely functionally different from what I have already experienced in the base game and with mods. Also, the DLC seems to add no additional explanation to the existing story and seems different in tone.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Is this the most expensive DLC ever?

From what we saw in the trailer, I think it's safe to assume this is more like an old school expansion pack.

 

[EviLore]

 

[DelireMan7]

Love this design




Can't wait to kick people in the face xD

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

2023 was hype. But very quickly 2024 already has one surefire top 5 release (HD2). This guaranteed banger in June. And in the next month 3 big games all with tons of potential come out (Rebirth, DD2, Ronin)

We're not slowing down.

 

[Hudo]

Well, it's 40€ on Steam. I hope this a full-blown expansion and not a rip-off.

 

[SantaC]

Which build are you going for?

I Have wings of astel ready with nebula which melts all bosses.

Ice spear is also incredibly strong.

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Questioning if From Software will give proper bang for your buck in 2024....

People really just be posting anything

[bigdad2007]

That is my guess as well. The final dialog in the trailer is “touch the withered arm and travel to the Land of Shadow”.

 

[Danjin44]

Which build are you going for?

I might go with INT/SRT with my Dark Moon Great sword build.

 

[DelireMan7]

FromSoft has an outstanding historic when it comes to DLC for Soulsborne game.

If you liked Elden Ring, there is high chances that you'll love the DLC.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Please for the love of God add proper ultrawide support, the game has it but it arbitrarily cuts it off.

 

[Schmendrick]

My one "day one" purchase this year.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

I'll get it and enjoy it for sure. Elden Ring is one of the greatest games I have ever played but I was a little burned out by the end of it. I hope the DLC radically changes gameplay elements to keep it fresh. Because otherwise I wish Fromsoft dedicated these resources to creating another game from the ground up. I get it tho, 25mil people to sell to

 

[Fbh]

FROM DLC has historically offered great value for the price.
The DLC is some of their previous games isn't just fairly big but actually adds some of the coolest locations and bosses in their respective games.

I don't see why this would be any different
