feels like you're rehashing the same argument over 30 minutes. Could have been a 5 minute video tbh.

Why didnt he use fire and bolt paper?

I absolutely hated TotK and I 100% agree with you. I’ve never been so disappointed in a game.

This is a fantastic video, and all the people seething in the comments are only proving your point about Fromsoft fans being cult-like. I agree with most of the points you've made, though I would've leaned more into the reused content and empty open-world. I feel like those are what ultimately kills this DLC for me.

Git gud

The idea of summoning is such a cool idea in concept, the base game's Radahn fight really gives you vibes of a Raid Boss encounter, and in theory being able to tailor a sort of single-player adventuring party with yourself as the main contributor no matter what role you choose to take is a really good concept. But after fighting Bayle with Igon, I realized the aggro switching didn't make it feel like we were alternating going toe-to-toe with the giant dragon, it was more like we were taking turns getting ragdolled around. - The bosses of the game feature a couple of irritating design flaws. Janky hitboxes where it feels like you get hit even though the attack didn't touch you, shockwave attacks that don't have the proper weight behind them are the main things I'd notice in the base game, but after playing most of the DLC I've realized something about the game's speed. It's too fast, the enemies are simply too fast, I started noticing it mostly against Putrescent Knight, the weapon swings were too fast to be readable to me. I can see that I got hit but not when or how. Looking back this is one of the more infuriating traits of Rune Bears in the base game, their bite attack which seemingly swings more than is visible. Another irritation that's present in the base game but became more visible to me during my DLC playthrough, is the amount of attacks which catch you on the end of the swing, Rellana is particularily bad with a couple of her attacks rollcatching you because they hit you as they come to a rest. It feels jarring because it becomes clear to you that you took damage because you touched an active hitbox, not because you got in the way of an enemy's attack with their full weight behind it. My issue is that the enemies are too fast, which makes attacks read like more unfair than they are and combines with at times janky hitboxes to make you unable to find trust in defensive positioning and rely entirely on timing of i-frames - This expansion should've been a standalone, could've still been an expansion but with a new character, not the old one. As it is it feels so jarringly disconnected from everything going on in the base game. A clean break would've helped a lot in balancing both the combat and the exploration, and the story as well.

I beat the first Elden Lord my 3rd try. Maybe he's easy, but thats not what I'd call hard.

Is that hollow knight music in the background

ng+2 ludwig was the longest it took me to kill a boss it was around 2 1/2 hours. That was before dlc radahn that is the longest now.

1:44 so, bioshock 2...?

I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it

Brain dead video

It's horrible. I've tried several times to enjoy it and it's just trash. WYF were they thinking? Maybe it will be ok in a year or two, but no more Capcom for this guy.

28:06 that bayle attack is so BS, god bless greatshields exist. In fact the number 1 carrys for this subpar DLC

Based Feeble King

"Father Gas-Gone"... Who took their Gas? Why are they out of Gas? Gas-Goin... like Coin... Sheesh.

Spit the truth king.

I hated the dlc because everything was pathetically easy except Bayle and Radahn. Bayle was the only fun i had in this dlc and everything you said was complete bullshit, you're just garbage.

There's a Fume Knight mod for DS2 that replaces all the enemies and bosses as a Fume Knight. There should be a Blue Smelter Demon mod like that in your honor.

I have the plat for all from's souls and Sekiro, yet I quit this DLC, it's not fun at all, sadly, criticizing Elden Ring is a sin

Alright. Rant below: The only thing I actually agree with in this video is the exploration issue. Abyssal woods had literally nothing but a pretty cool boss in it. The random finger places are just strange. And jagged peak felt more like a boss rush. Now the game looks beautiful but as I just mentioned, there are a lot of big spaces with nothing in it. Some of the exploration bosses weren't great, such as the ones returned (death rite bird [which ew] and demi human queen [never will be hard]). And yeah, the furnace golems look cool, but they don't do too much. Now, what I don’t agree with is what you said about the difficulty. The dlc, in my opinion, is not that as hard as you say it is. Now, Radahn, of course, is hard and which he should be. But he is a little unfair as some of his moves can't be dodged and just have to be tanked. Though, you know, just get good. Now, all the other bosses are great, and I did not find any of them too hard. I think bro is forgetting this is still part of the main game, and it is supposed to be hard because this dlc is supposed to take place late game. You literally contradicted your own healing point by saying, "Wait for an opening with a charge attack." It's not like the bosses are going to stop/slow down fighting you to let you heal. But all the bosses were very fun to learn and are some of my favorite soulsborne bosses. Also, a lot of people gave a lot of shit towards Fromsoftware because they thought Elden Ring was too easy because there wasn't scaling. And I'm not a pro at the game. Aside from Radahn, I had the most attempts with Midra, which people say is the easiest. Other than that, I took care of all the bosses in 1-5 attempts. If you're going to complain that a Fromsoftware game is too hard, you shouldn't be playing it.

I'm going to be completely honest with you. Evade attacks. Deal damage. This is the way it has always been. If you need to heal, find or make an opening. Despite playing almost every fromsoftware game at level 1, you have managed to elude getting good.

i thought both versions weren't too difficult, the way hollowing changed threw me off for awhile upon release. but once i got use to it i cheesed through ds2 and later sotfs as well. idk, i truly enjoyed ds2 through and through.

Bosses arent too hard to learn you're just bad 😭

25:46 This is where I would have thrown the controller.

The bosses needing multiple playthrough to fully understand their mechanics isn't really a good thing in my opinion in ds3 for example I understood what I had to do to beat a boss all what was left is actually getting good but in elden ring I win the fight after few attempts not knowing wtf happened even for the easiest bosses that took like 2 or 3 attempts

The whole Dark Souls 2 problem it's enemy placement, both vanilla and scholar, I like DS2 but Jesus difficulty through enemy spamming it's annoying as hell on both versions

It’s videos like this that make me wish the dislike counter was viewable again. So I could see just how badly this terrible video got dunked on. So dumb.

Coulda just said you're shit at the game and saved us 38 minutes of yapping😂

Omg this is when a idiot watches a good serie

Honestly this dlc isn't that great. Radahn is complete dogshit. I have played and beaten every Souls game and Bloodborne. Also Demons souls. From soft needs to go back to its roots and stop this retarded action game shit. Leave that to actual action games. This is supposed to be an action rpg but its trying to be devil may cry without the moveset of devil may cry.

more dislikes than likes now LMAO

It’s like FromSoft is so proud of its reputation of being a game company that makes hardcore games that they gotta make their new DLC full of bullshit after years of development just to keep that reputation alive & more known

Thank you for making this video, I will try to play like this in future play through

5:40 i think a certain guy from Nazareth would say otherwise

Oh and i wish you kinda talked about mimic tear and summons in this video because that is one of elden rings biggest issues and summons are what the game is balanced around.

Elden Rings fanbase is an embarrassment and im sorry you and demod have to deal with these people while making valid critiques. It’s a hivemind thing like red dead redemption 2. If from software makes Elden Ring 2 as their next game we will know they probably aren’t a company worth caring about anymore

If they wanted us to attack Margit in the back they should’ve made his character model look like he has a weak spot on his back, not have a scary giant scorpion tail…

Let say Scholar and Dark Souls 3 are what happen when From Soft listen the souls community : Dark Souls 2 is too easy and the stone are OP, bring more ennemies and make them gank you with relentless assault,. Dark Souls 2 roll is bind to ADP and magic is too OP, oh boy you will love Roll Souls 3 with the only viable build being a melee build.

nothing good about this dlc. except story. stop the delusional thinking that this anything but an empty husk of a once fun game (ds3)

I know this video old but when you say soul series are you only including dark souls 1 2 3 or are you also including bloodborne demon souls elden ring and sekiro

I honestly I have never been more disappointed in an anime in my life I wasted my time

While i dont agree with many of your points. I agree with some. And the main one i agree with is i feel the dlc has zero weight. Rather you do the dlc or not it had no extra endings or any really significances to the over world. Nothing changes. It just feels like disconnected. And going through the entire dlc only to return to the original world with no mention from the npcs or even something that changes. It just feels like its pointless. But i did have a fun time. I just wish it had more meaning behind it.

100% agree.

No Beast Blood Pellets nor elemental paper of any kind. Just raw dogged determination. Respect. Edit: After watching Living Failures and realizing how you went out of your way to mention that you could parry and visceral them, it occured to me. Did you not know that you could visceral attack a staggered Beast type boss? There's not a single instance in the video where you Visceral a Beast type boss. And you didn't not use just the aforementioned pellets and paper. You went full no consumables. No Blue elixirs to act as ring of fog, no pungent blood cocktails to act as alluring skulls, no poison, no oil urn and molotov combo for beast bosses... Oh you poor unintentional sadist.

I think the people in here who are disagreeing with you either don’t pay attention or simply didn’t play. The exploration point especially. It is terrrrrible

I need to watch this show.

Horrible game

Ds2 is a good game, but a horrid souls game. Like if you were to put it up against a lot of other games, especially nowadays, you'd find it to be great. But put against it's fellow souls games it's a mess

It's good that you're a tiny smol irrelevant channel
