@@verygoodfreelancer agree, but they're appealing to different things. Riding through Elden Ring is more "beautiful" than anything really in the more linear games, like DS3 or Sekiro (even though the Gael arena and Divine Dragon arena etc are pretty jaw dropping). But ultimately it's just a nice plain, with a few enemies, maybe a dragon, maybe a roaming caravan of enemies, maybe an NPC or two. The legacy dungeons were pretty good. But its design is pretty lacklustre compared to something like DS1. ER appeals to more people, because gamers are now used to "open worlds" and easy mode levelling. But you're right in that ultimately, the other Fromsoft souls games are of a higher quality overall, because of how intricate and well crafted they are and feel.

You guys can't look at an expansion and say it's better than the base game when the content is cut in half, if not more, than the base game. Yes, there are cool weapons that seem better than anything the base game has, but that's purely subjective. Yes, there are more interesting enemies, and yes, there seems to be cooler armor sets, ashes of war, incantations, and sorceries.. But nothing changes the fact that it's just extra content. If the base game was an expansion itself called "The lands in Between" and they released "Shadow of the Erdtree" right after, then everyone would have bitched and complained that Shadow of the Erdtree wasn't as big with less content.

I even started streaming/recording it at a friend's suggestion, just so I can chronicle the hype moments (I've unfortunately missed that chance with some of the earlier fights. Like one boss fight against these two Crystalians where I came into it with 25% health and no flasks, and I switched to the Red Assassin's Dagger and healed myself back to full with critical hits.

I'm so shocked that i have so much left to do after like 24 hours of playtime. And the biggest difference is just how much this map brings me back to that feeling of playing Darksouls 1 with the amount of twists and turns it has. They absolutely outdid themselves and i'm really excited for lore dives. I feel like there's no way people will stick to old weapons btw! Just seeing rellana's swords i could tell they went all out.

First off, I don’t dislike this DLC, as far as I’m concerned it took a lot of what I found arduous in the base game and ironed it out. But part of me can’t help but feel a lot of it is fur coat and no knickers. The area and level design is great, each open world region is remarkable. However for the most part (aside from Gravesite Plain and Scadu Altus) there is very little to actually do, with minimal dungeons (although Gaols and Forges are an excellent addition, and Catacombs are much more interesting than the base game), few new field bosses (just more of the same with Death Birds, Dragons and Tree Sentinels) and only 2 Legacy Dungeons (one of which is very vanilla). There feels like a lot of horse riding with little in the way of dismounting and exploring encampments, hidden caves and villages, big chunks of the map are vacant of any enemy activity which I feel is wasted potential (Hinterlands and Charo’s Grave being the biggest examples). The bosses are of good quality, I actually feel like they toned down much of the overly agressive bs bosses they had in the base game, with a couple of exceptions ‘cough, cough, Dancing Lion and Radahn’, but something just feels empty about certain fights like Putrescent Knight, Rellana and Romina, they’re good, but just have no buildup or intrigue. Metyr, Scadutree Avatar and Messmer (and admittedly the three aforementioned bosses) were all highlights for me as they reminded me of how great Dark Souls and Bloodborne bosses were. They felt tough but fair and I didn’t feel like I was being cheated out of victory like I do when facing Fire Giant, Radagon/Elden Beast or any gank fight in the game. Overall I enjoyed the DLC, much more than the base game but I feel that due to my overall negative view on the base game it obscured my enjoyment, also with how condensed and intricate the map is a more Dark Souls like experience would have been better for this DLC (less free roaming and more interconnected dungeon areas). I didn’t want The Shadow Keep to end because of how much it reminded me of my favourite Demon’s Souls area and many zones from bloodborne. Sadly Elden Ring is a game that bores me on subsequent playthroughs because there isn’t enough of the intricate intimacy of Soulsborne areas. These are just my thoughts though, if anyone disagrees then fine but please keep it classy with any replies or arguments.

Ive had Elden Ring from day one. It has constantly stuttered and micro stuttered since an update released last year that it got worst. Before that it was perfect and no issues. I have a 64GB Ram , 2080 RTX Super and I9 processor. That being said Dark Souls 3 also micro stutters.

Thanks Luke - love your channel. I haven't played ER but I am looking at the hype and thinking about giving it a whirl with the new DLC. The thing is that I'm an older gamer (I'll be 50 in a couple of months) and as such I'm -okay- at games and enjoy playing a lot but not very good mechanically. I worry about the game being too hard for me to play.

It sounds like you maybe don't have a great build or gear? My baseline advice without knowing the specifics of your situation is to level Vigor primarily until it's around 50, except if you need extra points to wield a new weapon. Then, level your damage stat, be it Dex, Arc, w/e, to 60. Sprinkle in some mind/endurance as needed, to cast/wear what you want. Also, make sure you're keeping up on upgrading your weapons. Non somber weapons go up to +25, Sombers go up to +10, and there are materials out there to get one of each early on if you know where to look

Great gameplay, but it’s the lore that I struggle with. It’s not a world that feels like one can actually exist in, more characters that have one or two goals. It’s hard to visualise the actual world of Elden Ring existing and being a part of it. The game is fantastic to play nonetheless

It's amazing but no reason to buy until you can get into it. I suck at souls games but I'm a vet that play at them all. They are my favorite. Elden Ring is my favorite game ever. Just go level up in another direction if you get stuck on any certain spot or enemies. Best advice I can give. Then come back and own whatever was given you problems.

sadly the game breaking the tradition of fromsoft/bandai namco release complete edition on physical disc when final dlc dropped. of course there's a Shadow of the erdtree edition but its basically just a voucher code with the same base game, they dont even bother to update the cover art. shame.
