I’m looking forward to and dreading this at the same time. I really enjoyed Elden Ring but eventually got burnt out playing it after Leyndell and just started googling what I’d missed and doing it before finishing the game.
I hope this dlc is more focused and not another 150 hours of content. I’d be more than happy with 20 - 30. Also show us Miquella!
Yeah, agree. That’s why I think just having a fun time expansion could be good. Although harder to make players care if the stakes are low I guess?
I personally won’t be playing this expansion for a while anyway. Maybe next year when I have more free time so I’ll get to see the general consensus before going in. Hope it’s good.
Love this trailer. It gives off a pretty chill vibe and will hopefully give the scions a much needed break after Endwalker.
Though personally I thought Endwalker was a good stopping point I get that this is an mmo so there can never really be an end. I’m pretty sure even FFXI is still getting new content!
Agreed, people on here can’t seem to understand how this product could be successful? Every post about it on here has the same upvoted comments about how people should get a Steam Deck instead. If someone comments about why they like it or are happy with it, it gets downvoted.
Personally I probably won’t ever buy one of these but to act like your opinion about something as unimportant as a this is better than everyone else’s screams of reddit to me. Why not just let people be happy with their purchase?
Yeah, I think that’s why I didn’t have an issue with it. I remember only doing maybe 1 or 2 of the barrels in the water in Skellige. I mostly used the question marks as small distractions as I went from one quest to another. I never focused on clearing them out.
You’re right that most of the items weren’t that rewarding to get. It’s mostly just busy work. Hopefully rebirth keeps that stuff to a minimum and just has a large map with cool locations and unique well written side quests. Maybe a few collectibles scattered around the map to reward exploration too.
I tried Destiny 2 when it went free to play with some friends and none of us had a clue what was going on. Just go do these missions with minimal story reasons or explanation.
We got through the first area and to the main hub but it just seemed boring. Played a bit more after that but saw no improvements in the second area when it came to missions or story. I’m not sure why someone new would ever play this game?
I’m not really a fan of what’s being done with LOTR now. I think we’ll keep seeing more games set in this universe since Christopher Tolkien has passed away. I’m sure some will be good but based off Gollum we’re also going to get absolutely terrible things that are just a quick cash grab with the LOTR name attached.
I can’t wait for this game to finish being updated so I can play it. I always regretted playing Witcher 3 before the dlcs came out. I would like to play them some day but I feel like I’d need to replay the entire game again to get used to the controls and remember the story. I just don’t have enough free time to dedicate to that when there are other newer games I’d rather play instead.
Wonder what the dlc will be about?
I have a few ideas but don’t want to put spoilers here.
If this is a continuation of the main story then I don’t mind but if this is just content placed in the middle of the story like FF 15 then I don’t know why I keep buying games on launch just to get a partially complete experience.
Let’s hope the difficulty of this dlc is also higher. I felt like in the main game Clive melted any non boss enemies after the halfway point of the game
I’m curious, how do people feel about these remakes replacing the old games? I for example have only played RE 1 HD Remake and RE 2 Remake and most likely will never play the originals. As someone who enjoyed the games but isn’t in love with the series do you think this is ok? That these games are basically replacing the old ones?
Hope it’s good. Feels a bit weird going from Endwalker which honestly felt like a definitive ending to what looks like a beach episode in Mexico lol. I actually thought we’d be spending less time with the scions too and meet new characters instead but I guess not? I’m still excited though. Need to find some time to catch up to 6.5 before summer next year
The last one I properly played was Revelations and I couldn’t even finish it. You can only do the same thing so many times before it gets stale and loses all its charm. I tried black flag but was so sick of the AC formula that I ended up refunding it after an hour.
Now they all seem like the definition of mid. I’ve seen videos of Valhalla and it looks like a Witcher 3 clone with none of the interesting characters or good writing.
This series needs a long break before I’d ever consider buying one again. I guess it keeps selling well every year though so…
I feel like the Steam sales stopped being good a few years ago. I think when they stopped doing flash sales? Now most games are just regular sale price off. No real special deals anymore.
I miss checking daily for new updates on what was for sale and getting a game at a really good price. Now everything is the same price for the entire two weeks so it feels exciting for maybe the first 5 minutes when you check your wishlist and after that it’s done.
Don’t want to be too negative though. Hope there are some good deals and everyone can grab something at a good price!
I’ll probably buy it at some point on sale. I’m in no rush though. Once it’s confirmed to be stable and a good experience I’ll pick it up. Being a patient gamer seems like the best way to buy games these days. Gonna plug it here for anyone who might be interested: https://sh.itjust.works/c/patientgamers
I just beat it yesterday. Took me about 115 hours but I enjoyed most of my time in that except for the last bits of side content which I thought weren’t balanced that well. I think it’s definitely a polarizing game but if you like it then it’s probably the best Final Fantasy game to come out in the past 20 years.
If you’re not enjoying it though then just drop it. It’s just a video game at the end of the day.
