I don’t get that at all. Elden Ring was already painfully long. If you tried to do everything you ended up super OP. It became an absolute slug to get through. It was super repetitive. I can’t imagine anything they could add with a DLC that could improve that. I don’t get the hype for the DLC.
Opposite for me completely. I spent 120hrs on it and it flew by completely, I was sad when it ended and found I got no satisfaction from ng+ and also, couldn't bring myself to do a raw ng again with exploration of everything.
So new content is precisely what would entice me back to this and what I want.
I adored the game and also spent a little over 120h in it, but it's commonly accepted that past the capital, the game kind of lose its pacing and starts iterating on the same ideas, just in different settings.
Damn I had completely different experience. I think I’m on NG+4 with almost 300 hours.
Same i only quit because i had tried every weapon, incantation, and spell over like 5 different characters using just about every build i could imagine enjoying
And i was at 420.69 hours so lol
