I put over 30 hours into it plus 10 hours helping people with the final boss. That's a massive DLC no matter how you spin it imho. The verticality was really cool too. Sure, some areas were pretty empty but in the end this was a DLC that had more content than a lot of full-priced games. But I agree the ending is a bit underwhelming. But I've gotten used to underwhelming From Software endings. It helps I didn't handicap myself when fighting Radahn so I beat him in twenty tries or so. It's a 9/10 for me, but I don't feel like I need any more Elden Ring in the next 10 years or so. I don't usually play open world games (shallow but long) and this year I've spent almost 6 months on FF7 Rebirth and Elden Ring, so I'm only focusing on smaller-scope games for the rest of the year.
I feel you!! I played Baldur's Gate 3 on top of those as well (which was amazing, don't get me wrong), so a break from long open worlds is needed at this point 🤣
Radahn, Promised Consort: Ok so he's obviously a consort to Miquella since that's who was just talking Radahn, Consort of Miquella: Figured that out but sure, it's confirmed now. Then the ending cutscene is just "I want Radahn to be my promised consort". Why even waste a cutscene on that super obvious information.😂 Radahn and Miquella don't even say anything when they die. The whole final fight just feels off and not particularly interesting.
I agree. Game was quite empty. And From's ultra vague storytelling wears thin on these long games. Play lies of P for a great game with both a full story and perfect souls combat!
@@Renoistic they tweaked things for/shortly after release, you are also supposed to mix things up and use both deflecting and dodging. You also need to hold the button down to get the full parry frames.
@@Renoistic Lies of P does get better, the combat is very satisfying, it was even hard to return to Elden Ring for me and regress to just dodges. My favorite mechanic in Lies of P is that you can break weapons of enemies or even bosses with the right number of perfect parries, it makes gameplay rather rewarding and fun
The hug doesn't kill you. However it makes you enthralled and you kneel before him, becoming his stooge. You missed some lore by not using the NPC helpers in the boss battles.
