Anyone else disappointed in the DLC?
I just think it's too short, there's only 2 bosses and to me the gravetender champion or whatever he's called is just too easy and not very epic. The Friede fight is awesome but to me that's the only good part of the DLC. When I saw the frozen arena with the flowers it made me think of Seath's boss room from dark souls 1 and when I saw the actual boss I was like REALLY? How lame. I just think it's a real shame that this is what we get when DS3 is the last souls game. The next DLC better be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ extraordinary!!!

Fromsoft said that this DLC was focalised on the PVP Arena and not much in PVE.

No, but it tells you where you should be direction your attention.

"It's short" is focusing on the PVE aspect.

The arena is fantastic.


They basically came out and said "look guys we know the PVE isn't exactly what you'll be expecting but PVPs gonna be great". Yet everyone still whines about the PVE.

Somebody even refunded the DLC for being too short, saying:
"I spent 15€ for this short DLC?"
"They should've told us how long this DLC is"
Everyone was saying "you could check"
"No, it's their fault

They said the DLC added around 15 hours of story content didn't they? I remember reading something like that...
Even if you really take your time and go way slow on the content, it's done in half that time... So althougth I love the game and the dlc, I think it's too short indeed...

According to a video interview conducted by the German website Gamestar where they interviewed Hidetaka Miyazaki, they said the DLC added 15 hours playtime.

Obviously they were talking about the PvE, since there is no point in talking about hours of playtime for the PvP arena.

You can google this information, and here a german player confirms Myazaki said 15 hours of playtime:

Both DLC combined might add 15 hours of pve, but barely, more like 10 hours. Considering previous souls DLC like crowns were around 5 hours each but there were 3. Shame its gonna be only 2 for DS3.

I think i've read an article in (maybe) Polygon where they interviewed Myazaky and he said "this DLC is short". I've read in other placed about this, so i think that in that interview they meant both DLCs? Not sure


I'm sure that he said this was going to be short because the forum was exploding with "the DLC is short"

Think it's about the length we've expected from Dark Souls DLC? DS1 DLC was a forest area, the town, the cave. This has a snowland, a village, a mountain range and some caves.

DS2 DLC was so forgettable level design wise I can't remember much of it. Think it was always just one area, be it a castle or a city.

The itemization did disappoint me slightly tho. I was hoping for more spells, maybe hexes.

How many threads do we need about this topi?. Let's go for 1000. Everyone should respond by starting their own thread. More clutter is the best.

Every messageboard for every game has people complaining about anything the company is selling.
Maybe it's the economy, people expect way more value for their dollas now. Damn Obama.
