Back at it to praise Shadow of the Erdtree, the DLC for Elden Ring (FromSoft) some more. At the end of the last post, I was talking about *SPOILER WARNING* Mohg’s body and Sir Ansbach being concerned as to what Miquella wanted with it. This would have been very important to know in real time… Continue Reading
Back to talk about Shadow of the Erdtree, the DLC for Elden Ring. By FromSoft, duh. Because I have been bitching at it for the past several posts, I want to talk about what I like/love about it in this post. It’s interesting because in looking for reviews that were less than glowing, almost all… Continue Reading
Back again with another post that examines the flaws of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC because I don’t quite have it out of my system yet. In yesterday’s post, I was musing on the cleverness of FromSoft and how/when it goes too far. Also, how frustrating the NPC questlines can be. The video I… Continue Reading
I feel the need to start this post by saying that Shadow of the Erdtree is a really solid DLC in many ways. I would say my feelings about it are more positive than negative, though I would not blame anyone for thinking that I hated it based on the last five posts. It’s just… Continue Reading
Back again with even more criticisms for Shadow of the Erdtree! Yes, I said a few days ago I was going to give my review, but I’m not ready for that yet. Or rather, I don’t feel like doing it yet. Not sure why. Maybe because the ideas are still percolating in my brain. I… Continue Reading
Back again with more criticisms. *SPOILER WARNING* At the end of the last post,I mentioned that I felt defeated at the Leda fight because it was supposed to be this grand and wild spectacle, but because of how I fucked up all the NPC questlines, it was just boring and anticlimactic. When I reached Shadow… Continue Reading
Back at it with more criticisms for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC (FromSoft). Standard caveat: *SPOILER WARNING* In the last post, I talked about cheesing Radagon with no regrets in my first playthrough. Oh, before I go on, I have included a video by Umbriferous with solid cricisms of the DLC below. I don’t… Continue Reading
In my last post, I was talking about the things I found frustrating about the Shadow of the Erdtree (FromSoft) DLC. I ended by talking about my displeasure with how the bosses were created for this game. In the DLC, it’s not so much that they have two bosses as one (looking at you, last… Continue Reading
Before I give an actual review of the DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree (FromSoft), I want to talk about what I found frustrating in the game. In some ways, it’s just an extension of my exasperation with the FromSoft games in general. Also, it’s funny that I started a post yestreday, intent on doing an… Continue Reading
Today, I am offering my definitive review of Shadow of the Erdtree, the Elden Ring DLC from FromSoft. I have played through the whole thing, found every place noted in Eurogamer’s video about 11 hidden areas in the DLC–which I’ve included below. I’m feeling smug because I found all of them. But, it speaks to… Continue Reading
