ELDEN RING DLC

[xDannySek]

Hello, I would like to ask, buy DLC for ER? I saw that it has mixed reviews, so I wonder if it's worth it or if I can do without the DLC.

it's a massive expansion with like 50-70 hours of great content.
there are some design issues, the ending kinda oof, but if you crave new elden ring content, buy it.

If you liked Dark Souls 3... then, this is basically just more of that.

But, there are severely overlooked flaws in the formula.

If you had the option.. and definitely wanted to purchase fromsoft:
Try something like sekiro or armored core.

Dark Souls 3 has more replay-ability because of the invasion system.. but it isn't new so.. longer queue times.

Shadow of the Erdtree has a lot of flaws, particularly with poor questlines and last-minute changes to lore and storylines. Nevertheless though, it has a very solid framework of new enemies, new equipment, and a huge map to explore. If you enjoyed Elden Ring, you'll most likely enjoy SotE.

Not exactly. Out of all of Fromsoft's games, DS3 is probably the most linear. SotE, like the ER base game, is very open-world and open-ended, with only a few specific enemies and locations that have to be completed in order to progress. It has a very distinctly different feel from DS3, IMO.

it's good, yeah?

If you like Elden Ring base game buy DLC.

It is worth it, mixed reviews are mostly about high difficulty,
some questionable, rushed design or just troll reviews.

You can always buy it later when you finish base game (before you go to New Game Plus).
