I love you Iron Pineapple but I refuse to spoil even a SECOND of this DLC. Can someone pretty please tell me if it's everything we have hoped for….?
I WANNA KNOW WHEN I GET THE STRAIGHT HANDS WEAPON
Did you find any ancient dragon (or ancient somber) smithing stones?
This game about to level up and it was already top tier game
it's too bad you dont get an option of actually picking from list of low tier weapons that cover all types so you can RP as a certain character. Or a random low tier weapon drop so you can RP as a person teleported to a different world lol. I really want a whip, or those fists and be level 1 and just work my way up.
NO embargo?
this was an amazing video
Something that i ve always disliked about From games is when they add new weapons they just add them in the new area and since usually DLCS are endgame content, you cant use them too much
Too bad no trophies for this expansion.
So I shouldn't play it with my level 550+ new game 6 account lol
I read that they recently "listened to the community" on certain changes to the game. Things like the white bandai namco white to black or inventory dot indicators. It's absurd!… The most important thing is to fix the Damn player capacity! For the love of all things Holy, balance the pvp aspect of this game and it will be perfection! You not only have 3vs1 99% percent of the time, but the enemy A.I can also damage you. Fix the teleportation for blue and red phantoms. Once a lures uses taunter they can't turn it off in order to gang up with friends on one player. Why would you remove a feature so crucial, it was in the previous titles. This game won't last long after the DLC Fromsoftware! Oh and cross platform would be nice 👍
Wrestling with the idea of using an old save or starting a new one.
11:55 40 dollars for reused content from the base game is a scam, waiting for this only be on the star and not having to fight god skin duo again
How can they do this?
So gorgeous
1:11: I noticed those are the same assets from Bloodborne being reused. It’s the staircase leading up to the Laurence boss battle
I know I'm just impatient but I can't wait to hear what you think about Nightmare Kart (formerly Bloodborne Kart)
so, yeah, your "boss critique" is kinda way off, i understand it from a gaming perspective, but it is explained in the lore, just like encountering a dragon you can encounter a magma wyrm or a tree spirit or whatever, they will be repeated, because they are creatures that reside in the world, would we weird and wrong if they werent there.
just imagine someone tells you "you know, in north carolina there are no trucks" or "in miami there is no police, it doesnt exist"
so yeah, take it with a grain of salt, i get it may be dissapointing to see the same "bosses" but they have to be there.
Did we really need a dlc for this already too long game? For the 80 hours I put into this game I did the exact same thing the entire time: ride the horse, swing the sword, ride the horse, swing the sword, ride the horse, swing the sword….. This was the only Fromsoftware game I did not finish out of sheer exhaustion.
Liking and commenting for the algorithm. Gonna check out after I play the DLC
Anyone else who knows about the ash of war storm parry that can deflect projecties or spining weapon might find it more useful now if it parries the axe/knife throw attacks
😃
Will you be playing the new souls-like Flintlock The Siege Of Dawn..? just curious and would love your hot take on an upcoming game
This DLC is going to hit so hard. I’m excited to see them putting out some cool mid range full non consumable options in the game. Though, twinking got some insane upgrades with it lol
Man some of these reviews are copy and pasted the whole way through. Don't know who's copying who, but I've this exact layout of review with only minor tweaks elsewhere.
Any ARC scaling weapons in the DLC my dude?
Even if it's 25 hours it's bigger than Fable start to finish lol
Is liking Ulcerated Tree Spirits bad?
Spoiler: I heard Iron Pineapple dies in the DLC
New weapons look absolutely broken especially the light great sword. FROMSOFT at it again creating imbalances in PvP. It’ll be like RoB on release all over again. Other than that I’m looking forward to the DLC.
5:55 Ma-la-dy not m'lady
Dark Souls 2 is still better.
