Kinda dohshit take tbh

Hey micha it’s me minor man

12:00 to be fair durring the wait for the DLC people really loved the idea of how powerful Prime Radahn was and they’d like to fight him, the creator listened and managed to put it into the lore and made it so that the player could fight prime Radahn, I mean they even made a mod for prime radahn so making us fight him again felt good, yes his second fase inconsistancy with the arena is a lil BS but still, people, me included really wanted to see Radahn in his prime and his power, all we got was that he was the strongest (Don’t know if you know Jujutsu kaisen) but the it’d be if they killed Sukuna early on when he was super weak and left it at ”He is the strongest in history, thankfully you faught him when he was weak” That’d be lame. Tho to be fair I didn’t find the DLC’s ending that cool, don’t get me wrong I loved we got to fight Radahn in his prime. But seriously? No end cutsceen except for Miquella saying ”I’m going to be a god 😭” Let us at least walk up to the gate of divinity

they fixed the gaius hit boxes a while ago

skill issue

I feel like people are shitting on your takes a bit much, Ill give my own opinion here. 1. Scadutree Fragments. I think they're a great way to make levelling easy in the DLC. They did it with prayer beads in Sekiro, so it could have worked here as well. However, I agree with you, in that they messed up hard with the placement of these fragments, they're just too random, there's too many of them, and there's like 0 lore significance behind why they exist. 2. Exploration. Hard agree in that exploration in the DLC is abyssmal. A lot of people say the world is supposed to feel empty, but even if you assumed that on a stretch, it should only apply to areas that were purged, like the gravesite plains. There's no reason for areas such as Cerulean Coast, Jagged Peak and Abyssal Woods to feel as empty as they were. I couldnt agree more that the abyssal woods should have either been more linear, or had more content. A great idea would have been to add a second steed which you can use exclusively in the area, and some more horrifying creatures, because it felt so tedious to go through in NG+. I would also like to point out the finger ruins, which were criminally empty and worthless apart from progressing Ymir's quest. 3. Bosses. This is one part where I gotta disagree with you. If we look at the remembrance bosses of the DLC, they're all a lot more memorable for me than the base game bosses. Messmer and Bayle are the two best bosses in the entire game for me, and Midra is high A Tier because of his design, his lore, and his amazing OST. The Dancing Lion definitely had camera problems, but I found that by dodging away and keeping distance when I didnt need to attack, those werent too bad. And as for Romina, while I thought her design was really cool as an insect lover, I agree that the fight itself was pretty lacking, and the hitboxes were weird. I feel like Gaius gets too much hate, his only bullshit attack is his straight charge forward, and while it was frustrating, I didnt find anything else he did unfair in any way. He had a cool design, and I liked learning his moveset. Now one part of the DLC Bosses which sucks, is the lack of buildup. Messmer, Midra and the Lion are the only bosses which get cutscenes(Im not including radahn since he is a final boss), and the rest feel like they were just plopped in randomly. Especially Rellana, she could have used a cutscene, some buildup, or at least some voicelines, but she got none of those. I will make no comments on the final boss since I havent fought it. However I will state my disappointment in the overall story of the DLC, I think it had a decent buildup and a really poor finale. I dont mind that Messmer wasn't the final boss, but having it be radahn felt weird and kind of lacking imo. Thats all I gotta say. Great video!!

Imo I think SOTE is too large for it’s own good. It seems like FromSoft wanted to fit in as much lore as possible because there’s a low chance for an Elden ring 2. But all that ended up doing was giving the fans an incomplete puzzle,Because Miquella’s story feels like it was shaved down to meet the deadline.

I feel like all your DLC critic could apply to the base game as well. It's still a good game that got me hooked for +150 hours, but in so many ways a step down from Bloodborn and Dark Souls imo.

I know NOTHING about elden ring but micah man uploaded so i completely agree with whatever you said.

i like consort radahn boss fight and especially more so after the nerf, my issue is that he/miquella being the final boss, i really REALLY thought something else would happen after that fight, some secret final boss. That being said, miazaki did say more elden ring content is not off the table, just no plans at the moment for it, that includes even more DLC. so lets hope more is to come.

I was on Ng+3 when I got the dlc. I never summoned another player until I got to Radahn and had to deal with his BS in his second phase. I summoned someone for help, saw the forgettable ending, and never picked the game up again (I also don't have the time to play through the base game and dlc, I never thought I'd say this but it might be too big).

I don't know if it's a controversial opinion but I actually vastly preferred the dlc to base game. I will say that shadutree fragments were really stupid and should've just been on the path through the dlc or not be there at all and same goes for revered spirit ashes, however I personally thought that all the bosses were actually pretty fun, I think there was a lot more potential for them, and Midra's area was way too big for what it was and not being able to use torrent, however in my opinion the characters (especially Igon, Ansbach, Thiollier, and Freyja), the areas, most of the bosses were pretty good. Mesmer should be more important but I don't think he should be the final boss, I hate Romina there are no excuses for Romina, Gaius was a cool idea but he just ends up being annoying, some were too forgettable, Rellana is cool, i think Radahn is a really cool boss, but could have been done better, and the only bad about Bayle is his rewards aren't all that great. Despite all these flaws I still think the dlc was great and actually better than basegame and I will die on that hill.

I personally feel like these bosses would've felt less like a chore if there was more effort put into their stories and if the overrall plot was more fleshed out. I love Elden Ring but this DLC in terms of world exploration and character exploration/story was definitely lacking and reusing radahn just felt like a cop out. Having Godwyn in this story, be it a boss or a major character in the DLC would've created more intrigue and depth to the overall story. So in short I def agree with ur statements/thoughts. Esp for such a successful game this DLC was definitely lackluster

welp we dont agree on a lot of points but i think the reason behind the bad is the scale of elden ring, the best souls experiences are concise, not 100 hours long. bloodborne and sekiro to me are the best overall experiences and they are both the shortest in the fromsoft catalogue

wait wait wait what do you mean the ashes of ariandel was weak????

Shadow of the erdtree was nothing short of an amazing experience and saying otherwise is disingenuous

Ringed city the best… i know what kinda channel this is now. Ds3 fanboy. Ringed swamp is what it is

holy mald IGN needs you lil bro

Got to give the game more credit

Excellent point about the tree fragments especially if you play more than one character. Also be prepared to be attacked by simp cuck zealots even tho you stated it was your favorite game and also mine. Also people need to stop comparing their last games saying why it's reason for things to be exactly how it was. Guys! They always make slight changes to every game they make that argument is stupid.

The King has returned good video bro 💪💪

You overexaggerate so many things to support your opinions. It also seems like you've missed quite a bit of content, especially with Metyr. I think you had set expectations for something very specific and got disappointed when the DLC didn't turn out that way. The scadutree fragments are easy to come by and you can get 30 fragments just going through the zones with some exploration. They carry over to ng+, so you can stack them up over multiple playthroughs. As for cerulean coast, it is a small zone when you actually look at the map, it makes sense that there's not going to be that much content. Even so it has a few secret locations and good loot, which it seems you never found or left them out on purpose. Your takes on Radahn don't have much basis. I really don't know what your expectations were for that fight. You think the fight is bad because to dodge the triple slash you need movement, positioning and timing. The same things you need in every boss fight. Then the part with Radahn not being a clever boss fight, you are supposed to be the clever one not the boss. It's a challenging boss which forces you to come up with a clever build to beat it, if you can't beat it using your skill alone. There are multiple ways to make fight much easier and they are all readily available. It's funny at 11:50 when you make fun of opposing views with a nasal nerd voice, but your own voice in this video starts turning nasal every time you get excited 😂

Witcher 3 caused open worlds to be a thing. The first game to popularize open world

I had 6 different save files prepared before the dlc dropped and only ever used 2 of them. My biggest issue is that there’s just no good reason to play it. Some of the bosses are cool don’t get me wrong; Midra, Rellana, and Midra are easily in my top 5 ER bosses, but after I beat them I feel little to no motivation to move forward with the dlc. It’s not like there’s these compelling lore beats driving us or the tarnished forward. We don’t become a lord or anything cool like that after beating Consort Radahn, we get a neat little headband and a 20 second cutscene of something we already pieced together 🥲👍. Radahn himself was a letdown as well. Why was he here? Because of some arrangement made between him and Miquella that we had zero ability to put together in the base game alone? I call bs. We didn’t even get to see him in his right mind, he’s just a husk again… whoopty doo I guess?

I think lots of these critiques are a lil off. The world is mostly empty and dead because it’s the land of shadow. A place where all the inhabitants got killed by messmer. Rahdan post nerf is super amazing. Romina is shit 100% but the rest of these bosses are good. They have good lore, good fights and I don’t see a problem with most of them. Also the scadutree fragment thing is so insanely similar to prayer beads and it’s not bad at all. You can speed run the dlc and end up with about 10-12 fragments. I feel like this it quite the nitpick. I think the DLC was better than ds1, and is probably 3rd behind bloodborne and ds3. Overall, good DLC and lots of the points in the open world critique is mostly just hating on open world.

Let us all gather for Elden ring 2

I agree with all your points about this 10/10 dlc

i think you’re tripping about the “Radahn again” thing. I feel like most people wanted to fight radahn in his prime. I was personally super stoked to fight him without him being crippled

As much as i think pre nerf radahn felt robotic and shit i really liked the bossfight when not using parrys while usig parrys it was mid and just boring asf no coreography nor actual rythm just 3 parries crit and some lightspeed shit as for gaius I think i liked him only because i light rolled so i never felt inconsistance and the ending is just boring as shit

This is a pretty big yap sesh tbh, sure he makes some good points but his entire thing on Romina and Radahn is really stupid

I don’t understand your argument about the fragments, like you’re frustrated, but what the answer? How else do they level the playing field when players are rolling into dlc ranging from lev 60-700. And you complain about some fragments requiring too much exploration, but you answered that already. You really only need lev 12, but plebs that need max level are given that through said exploration

Ds2 dlcs made me love the game. Fume knight is just wow

I didn’t mind the DLC, but it wasn’t as exciting as the base game. It didn’t make much sense to me, and one of the quests I screwed up because I didn’t speak to the NPCs correctly, and I wouldn’t have known that unless I looked up a walk through which I really didn’t want to do. The dragons were cool, I think that was my fave part but other than that the only thing I noticed is it was slightly harder. Deff enjoyed the base game more.

I liked Prime Radahn at the end. No issue with it. Currently playing DS1 and it is god awful. Im fully convinced people love thay game for pure nostalgia because it's horrible and no boss fight has been enjoyable yet and im on Neto

Before the release of the DLC I was hoping Godwyn would have been the finale boss and since he is soulless his body could have been taken control by an Outer God, hell he could have became an Outer God himself. Either way seeing Radahn again is cool but I was disappointed we had to fight him again instead of having an original final boss for the DLC.

Great video bro!

People really shitting on SOTE. I think it is a great DLC, people have been complaining about how easy Elden Ring has been, so Fromsoft, doing their usual stuff, and improving on the comments. While I do agree, SOTE has a bunch of hiccups, but I feel like yall exaggerating it. Radahn being there was cool too, and the lore wasn't that bad. While I do feel like the ending was empty and Godwyn should have been there, but still its hella good. Also the Radahn fight is HARD, FOR A GOOD FREAKING REASON, U ARE FIGHTING 2 DEMI-GODS AND A FREAKING GOD AT ONCE, OFC ITS HARD.

The lore for Radahn being there is also bullshit. It should have been fucking Godwyn. Why am I fighting a bad version of an enjoyable base game boss when the fucked up mermaid zombie remains unfought.

This video was made BEFORE the recent patch that nerfed radahn, and that doesnt change anything for me tbh. Radahn should have been like that day 1 and its embarrassing it took them this long to correct it, if they needed that time to fix it then their DLC obviously needed more time.

6:14 please what song is this, i recognize it so much but i just can't put my finger on it

Shadow of the Erdtree has every problem I have with base game Elden Ring multiplied by ten, and Elden Ring was already my least enjoyed Soulsborne game. SOTE has even less replayability than the base game since if you treat it like your first playthrough, doing everything possible, the little magic it had before will be gone because you've already seen it. If you rush through everything, Scadutree fragments will be a massive attempt at wasting of your time and the bosses are still tiring at best. I could go on for hours about the problems with even the best fights of this DLC, and even ignoring those, none of the areas or bosses here come close to the highs of other souls games, and the lows are probably the worst content FromSoftware has ever put out. So, what's the best thing you can do for yourself this DLC? Simple. Never play it ever again.

The thing that really annoys me with the DLC is the fact that EVERY SINGLE MAJOR OUTER GOD is crammed into the land of shadow. It's basically the size of Limgrave and Liurnia and you're telling me that the Scarlet Rot, Frenzy Flame, Formless Mother and The Greater Will just coexist here?

the AUDACITY to not include a warning at the beginning of this video makes me feel hurt! i am severely offended! someone call the redditors!

ITS HERE! (golden hippo is a great boss, you were just terrible)

No more livestreams?
