Shadow of the Erdtree is worth the wait. Bandai Namco sent me a review copy a few days early, so I took full advantage of the opportunity. Here are my thoughts after degenerately playing for 50 hours.
This video will not include any major spoilers whatsoever. I only show small segments of various regions that can be accessed through the starting area.

Can you answer a single question: does this DLC give a new Mending Rune for a new ending to the main game? No details, can just be yes or no.

@zombiehampster1397 13 күн бұрын

FS is one of the rare studios that understands the benefits of under-promising and then over-delivering, as well as having the confidence to develope the game and release it when its truly ready. FS with Miyazaki in control is a dream come true for those who love their design philosophy.

Making the "mini sequel" to Elden Ring as a big, and relatively expensive, DLC is a pretty good idea. The devs can reuse the same engine as is, while concentrating on just making new content. Also, who's ready for 18 inches of Messmer?/

7:10 By the way, that file size isn't accurate. That file size is installing everything included in the hub app, which includes Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, Warzone and all relevant DLC. The reason they did it like this is so that you don't have to waste disc space if you have multiple CoD games, since they share a lot of assets. For example, MWIII will have a larger install size if you don't already have MWII installed, and vice versa. Or at least that's how I understand It, I don't actually own any of these games.

@mehashonhold 11 күн бұрын

Yes that file size is not an accurate representation of the whole situation. It'll be much smaller if you have only the BO6. For example current MW3 is only 32GB in size, and Warzone is 22GB in size on Steam. The Whole COD file size in disk is currently 72.89GB for me.

About 3-4 hrs in, I love the world and the environments. The bosses are fantastic, but can we please admit the nerfing of our stats over all is... cheap. It just seems to force you to collect "special items" to have your power and defense given back to you. Hurts the gameplay for me, but again, I'm only 3-4 hours in dlc. Love the videos dude keep up the good work

@agtjake 8 күн бұрын

It forces you to explore the world. That aspect may not be for everybody, so I get why some find that annoying. Just like the main game, sometimes you just have to leave, explore, get stronger, and come back later. With this new system in the DLC, the same thing applies, but you can't just go off and farm runes to out level a boss. I personally love it, but I get why others don't. Thank you for watching the videos
