Just a bunch of guys bein dudes.

The visual design of the new areas, the new enemies, the new weapons and armors and abilities from yourself and enemies alike are FromSoftwares best work by a mile.

BUT.. BEWARE.

(EDIT: With all of my statements below, i just made the realization that I am tackling the DLC on NG+2. So maybe balance isn't as bad as I thought. I'm just an idiot.)

Balance wise... OHHH boy. It feels like when Elden Ring first released all over again. Due to your stats being changed because of their new system to avoid people from over leveling the content, you are effectively starting off at 10% of your power, and it feels like enemies and bosses are rocking a solid 100%. So, it is a constant uphill struggle you can't do a whole lot about other than beating your head on whatever you're doing till you get passed it somehow.

As a result, by the time you get your full power back. You're at 100% again, and now the enemies you contest are at 200%. So you're effectively stuck in the same spot you were at the beginning. Boss designs are not... Great.. Visually they are fantastic. Mechanically... It's a bit tough. They are all beyond hyper aggressive, they all have crazy gap closers, they all have crazy range punishes for whenever you're trying to either rebuff, cast a spell, or heal. They all seem to have crazy AOE or wide sweeping abilities so trying to position accordingly is almost pointless, and if it isn't pointless, it is very difficult because THEY NEVER STOP SWINGING.

ALONG WITH THAT, performance isn't great. I don't have a giga powerful rig by any means, but after enough time passed, i could play base Elden ring with no issues. I have everything as low as it could go, and i am encountering stuttering during boss fights due to the very flashy things they do. Most stuff I did try to change, didn't seem to change performance much at all. I was running about the same with everything on Medium/High than I was with everything on low.

WITH ALL OF THIS IN MIND. I trust FromSoftware to iron it out, and fix stuff based on feedback they've gotten at this point much like they did with the base game. (we all remember what that was like.)

It isn't in an ideal spot at the moment, but it will get there. And even with the problems, it is a work of art, just like the base game.

The cash shop is cringe. The performance is cringe. ALSO, As this is one hell of an RPG, literally 2 significant others to be had and their involvement is less than the first game. ALSO cringe.

But the gameplay... It is so good. DAMMIT.

LET ME BONE BARD LADY.

it's so good.
it's painful.
but so good.
i love how it steps on me and calls me trash

Me and 3 other friends decided to hit up the school to weed out some ghost scum. As we walked through the halls ♥♥♥♥ talking the ghost, we finally figured out the ghost was in the room where the front door was. So, each time we tried to go in to get evidence of the ghost, our activity meter would instantly jump to 10 and it would try to kill us.

Long story short, as we talked more ♥♥♥♥ from outside the door, and we had 0 evidence. We hopped in the truck and left.

This game is magical.

That B**ch thought he could steal my mf tail.. Well I stole his mf life instead.

I've known about this game for quite some time, but because I wanted to avoid adding more clutter to my 5 different platform problem, so I avoided it. Since it was added to steam, I am no stranger to FPS games, but usually they are just like every other one. But this one... This one IS different. I couldn't see how based on gameplay I watched.. Just looked like another shooter. But the feeling you get when you yank someone out of their titan with yours and crush them, to then prime a nuke in yours and fly in the air, land on another enemy, yoink a power core and blow them up.. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ my nipples have never been so hard in my life. Mom get the camera. A lot of moments tend to happen like that and you don't know why, they just do and that dopamine hit bro.. Jesus ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chist. That is a high I can't remember any game giving me in quite some time. Thank you for making this game and I am sorry this game got the shaft because of the platform problem.

I think I have a crush on the menu lady pls help.

Honestly, after the first few hours, I was running around with my buddy with 0 problems. Everything went smooth, and any other problems that were present, the devs were up till 4 am working on other problems everyone was running into and fixing them before they went to sleep.

Dev team was rolling out hot fixes like mad lads and quite frankly I will expect big things from this game and I know for a fact they won't disappoint.

The first almost 12 hours I have on the game right now were played on day one. And there will be MUCH more time sunk into this amazing experience.
