DLC is disappointing and overrated! 👎

[Hunter]

Did Fromsoft really ignore all the complaints about the repetitive bosses/enemies in the base game?
It's unbelievable that they had the audacity to release a DLC with MANY bosses/enemies reused from the base game.

The new bosses are also generic and lacking depth, with the exception of Messmer. (The final boss is reused. GUYS! )

New armors design is extremely lazy! GOD!

This DLC is just overrated!
Received a higher score than TW3: Blood and Wine and Bloodborne: The Old Hunters.

Bait use to be believable.

The problem with your post is the last sentence. TW3 is just a garbage game (I don't know how it is now, but on launch, what an utter disappointment after that long wait since the first one).

But I don't think the DLC is overrated, feels accurately rated. Reviews pin the DLC at around 60%+ (I give it a 6/10 overall)

A valid criticism:
Fanboys automatically = BAIT!!!!

Amazing and better than expected, loving it.
Up there with my favorite Expansions of all time (Wine & Blood for Witcher 3, Shivering Isles for Oblivion & Mask of The Betrayer for Neverwinter Nights 2).

No, not owning the game on the platform and criticizing is bait.

I own the game + dlc, not on this account. lol
Where do you think I got the information from? Did I tell a lie???

The fundamental problem with Elden Ring, as a whole, is that it approaches combat and enemy design like Blood Borne or Sekiro, all while maintaining (by and large) traditional Dark Souls mechanics. The new DLC basically doubles down on this problem while also ratcheting up the numbers behind the scenes, which makes the issue all the more clear.

I love the mainline Souls games, but their mechanics do have a breaking point and Elden Ring appears to be just that.

I think this is valid criticism. I was actually a bit disappointed to see quite a few base game enemies in the DLC, but I guess this is the negative for being open world. It's not taking too much away from the experience though, but still I wish the DLC was a wholly unique experience with all new enemy types.

They didn't even make an effort to at least change the skin of all the enemies, some are exactly like the base game.
It's a DLC, I was just expecting totally new enemies like the other DLCs.

The DLC was so disappointing I stopped played about 1 hour in and ended up watching videos on the bosses I hadn't gotten to. Note that this isn't a skill issue because I didn't find the difficulty offputting. It was the empty areas, reskinned enemies, and lack of answers for the questions we've had since the base game came out. I'm so glad I did that because I found out that the final boss and ending is an absolute joke without having to play the DLC for 10+ hours and not being able to refund the game anymore. So I just refunded the DLC lol

I was expecting an amazing fight with Miquella or Godwyn.
The final boss is a JOKE!

I won’t criticize you or call you an idiot, but I will say I disagree. Obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I actually thought most of the bosses were really cool (with the exception of a few obvious ones), and the armor and weapons as well. I’m probably biased though lol.

Also It’s a nice change of pace seeing a post that actually gives reasoning and isn’t just “I don’t like this so you can’t either.”

Feel it's def not the best dlc
Phantom liberty clears this
Blood and wine clears this
Tresspasser clears this.

Everyone is trash talking TC but he's right. It's mostly reused bosses and pretty empty zones
