[DASBUNKER]

Not gonna lie I started dripping pre-cum almost instantly and doing the vince mcmahon reaction gif

Beautiful as always, snake guy looks badass, looking forward to some Malenia level threats

First time I've watched a FromSoftware trailer and didn't find myself blown away.

Not sure why, I guess it's DLC so it's obviously more of the same. But even subtle details in the trailer didn't land. The voiceovers sounded a bit lame.

[conics]

I heard this game is very hard

And grindy

So not sure how ppl have fun in this

[ohiostate124]

You ready for the Orphan of Kos/ General Radahn fight?

I guess as a guy, having some challenge and being able to git gud and overcome it can be a fun thing. I notice this pattern alot in my life even outside of gaming.

Difficulty/challenge has also been a core component of videogames since time immemorial.

Just finished game few days ago, been holding my char at lvl 150 since I heard it’s meta for PVP. Don’t have ps+ so haven’t done any yet but gonna do it here. Hope they give way more respecs. 16 isn’t enough for all the chit I would want to try

Just do what I did and make a new character. EZ

Miquella is in the trailer, excited to see what his part to play is. Seems like a friendly dude.

I only played Demons souls and Bloodborne. Is elden ring harder?

I only played Demons souls and Bloodborne. Is elden ring harder?

Did you play bloodborne dlc?

I'd say overall Elden Ring is a little easier for a couple reasons. The general enemies aren't that horrible to deal with... Until you get to the last 3rd of the game where there's a massive difficulty spike outta fuking nowhere.

The low tier/generic bosses aren't hard.

The main bosses are okayish in difficulty until you get to the last few which can be fuking rough.

Best part that makes the game easier tho is since it's open world, if an area is giving you trouble you can fuk off to another place and level up, do upgrades then return later. There's no specific order to do things until you reach the latter areas of the game. Also, game is much more forgiving by providing spawn points close to the bosses so you don't need to run a long distance every time you die.

Kinda. It can be easier or harder. If you prefer melee and not summoning NPC's, it's definitely harder. If you're willing to use all cheese on the platter, it's the easiest. Sekiro is still the universally hardest one imo.

Fuk I love stakes of marika. Too bad they still leave out a few just to fuk with you (Renalla, Maliketh, and Placidusax especially).

Stakes of Marika are life. I don't get that mad when I die from a boss. I faced the first boss Margit For like 4 hours until I realised I was just badly underleved. When I came back I did it in like half a dozen tries.

The actual part that made me rage the most in souls games is having to run through the level again to reach the boss. Most recently in Demon's Souls remake at the higher levels. Ho Lee fuk was that rage inducing when you're pumped and just want to get back in the action.

But as you said there's a few bosses you still need to run to. Maliketh was legit my hardest fight of the whole game tbh, followed by Radagon and Godskin Duo.

First character I finally admitted defeat and went to level up before going back for Margit (I'm stubborn and refused to use ashes for 95% of bosses first go 'round). On my next character, I started with the Samurai, and was determined to get him early. I started of by killing the Tree Sentinel before unlocking level up this time around, and finally whooped Margits ass in a few tries. It was soooooo fukkin cathartic. I'd made them both my bitches.

Also, Margit is my favorite first boss in a FromSoftware game ever!

As for hardest, Malenia is the only boss I have yet to beat solo. I plan on doing it with my Guts based character (yes weeb) before the DLC comes out just to prove to myself that I can. I feel I have to, becsause there's no way they don't absolutely have some bullchit super duper boss that manages to be even harder than her.

[phillipsanchez]

I don't think I've ever seen DLC this hyped before. Hopefully it's decent.

Will respec my lad and go into this with a completely new build.

Those bosses in the OG Demon's Souls weren't nearly as hard but I'd be sweatin bullets when I'd get low on health because the run back to the boss would be like 5 mins + on some of them

On release General Rahdahn was fukn wrecking ball. I fought him at level 60 and was getting one shot. Came back at level 80 and was still getting crushed. People say they just changed his hitboxes, which I just don't believe. His damage was nerfed to hell. Those meteor rocks in the 2nd phase used to be guaranteed one shots if they landed. On my first playthrough none of the late game bosses gave me too much trouble because by that point I had found my beloved, the blasphemous blade and weapon art spam carried me hard

LOL. The DLC is the best area of every single Fromsoft souls game. The only exceptions being maybe Anor Londo over the DLC in Dark souls 1 or Irythil over Areindel in DS3

The bosses are guaranteed bangers.

DS1 - Artorias and Manus (Sanctuary Guardian still pretty good)

DS2 - Fume Knight, Sir Allone, Slumbering Drake, The Ivory King

DS3 - Sister Friede, Midir, Gael

BB - Lady Maria, Ludwig, Lawrence

[Lastro]

i did not know that. spawn points that are far qway from the bosses are the main reason i avoid soulsborne games. might give elden ring a shot now

[ChangGang]

Elden Ring bosses are easily the hardest in the series.

Bloodborne movement speed + never ending combos/endless stamina + tracking attack + massive delay + massive damage.

But it's also better than every other From game ever made, so it evens out.

QFT lol at even questioning it
Never got around to try BB DLC, soundtrack is fire. Heard DLC is brutal in NG+


Overall ER is easier if you want it to be, there's a lot of duo boss fights that soloing is insane.

[angelfire2005]

8 new weapon types included in DLC

can't wait to fight the new bosses, hopefully there is one as badass as radahn

I never used a summon the entire game.

Margit was such a sick fight. Esp for someone just starting the game and suddenly I'm up against the first boss and he has all these crazy moves. I'm used to the souls formula so I expected that when I arrived there I should have been at the correct level and that's why I spent hours getting stomped. When I came back after a few levels it was much better.

I really enjoyed the Malenia fight but she absolutely wasn't as hard as I was hyped up to think. To me her attacks were quite readable and the fight was rather fair, apart from Water Fowl which I think is where most people got fukked. Not me though, I've always been really good at dodges so when that was over I had much less issue dealing with her regular attacks.

Maliketh and Godskin Duo tho..... FUK ME. So much aggression.

Radahn was easily my favorite fight and spectacle in the entire game. What an epic boss. Loved the arena, loved his design and imo he has the coolest moves. Then I later read his lore and was like fuarrkk, Radahn was the real hero all along.

i did not know that. spawn points that are far qway from the bosses are the main reason i avoid soulsborne games. might give elden ring a shot now

Definitely give it a try. It's much more user friendly than every other souls game, but I really wish it had more of a focus on the plot. That's my biggest complaint.

[baldbrah]

It's just tough to play without spoilers. I don't know how anyone could ever find that chaos dragon boss without spoilers.

And it's sad but the game encourages farming. I could get stuck in an area then hit the palace approach ledge and level my character 20 levels then come back and whoop ass.

Yep, usually their DLCs are pretty good.

DLC over the last few years has been amazing.
