game size of dlc is close to the base game.. that is actually crazy for an expansion

[Delaborga]

to have us be ported into a shadow realm version of the lands between where the game size is as huge as the normal version is absolutly bonkers, 40 dollars for a the size of a sequel blows my mind

its not "close to the base game"

its "close to limgrave" from the base game

It has the size of Limgrave friend.

Correction: The expansion is "close to the size of Limgrave" to paraphrase - not the entire game, or even close to it. Likely 10-15% of the existing map.

nope its much bigger than limgrave :)

There is no indication of its size beyond a comparison to Limgrave by Miyazaki. Any speculation beyond a relative comparison to Limgrave is invalid.

Sorry, went full beep boop there.

how can it "look bigger" when all we saw was a few shots here and there?

It also has only 10 new bosses.
If these are major bosses, I'm fine. But if these are all bosses, it would be a joke. ER has 165 bosses.

yeah, ER had 18 main bosses, and i cant see there being only like 3 main bosses 3 roaming and 4 mini dungeon bosses. way too few. They probably do not consider open world, or mini dungeons as having bosses.

From the Eurogamer article linked above:

"In terms of pure surface area, you could think of something larger even than Limgrave in the base game," said Miyazaki.

Majority of those bosses are enemies you can find roaming the map with a health bar with a name fixed on the screen and increased stats anyway beetch

"it's probably comparable, if not larger, than the area of Limgrave from the base game." so probably not much larger, so stop the cope

That 165 is an extremely deceiving number in this case, considering that the majority of those bosses were recycled.

10 actually is a breath of fresh air IF they're all unique (quality > quantity).

How do people not understand that they jsut litterally copied the ELDEN RING REQUIREMENTS for the gasme onto the dlc, that doesnt mean dlc size is 60...

in a game where the main focus is defeating bosses, 10 is a very small number

Understand that we're seeing an above-average level of unfiltered, unchecked, and unmitigated disaster-posts.
