    Okay so it IS a $40 DLC. That's... A lot more than I anticipated.

    Eight new weapon types is perhaps the craziest thing I've read about this.

    I wonder if we'll see the return of the vertical ultra greatsword moveset, either as a new weapon type or just a new weapon under colossal sword or weapon?

    I wouldn't be shocked if we get some other colossal weapon. Something goofy like a colossal dagger or whip.

    I'd pay 40 just for weapon types if there are even, like, two or three good ones. Like if we got 'chain swords' and 'great/colossal chain sword' as a type, give us analogues to the threaded cane and beast cutter.

    40 is a lot for one new zone worth of content... and compared to souls DLC in the past. Hmm.

    Depends entirely on what map density is like. If it's overworld density akin to Limgrave itself, then that's not nearly as much as if it's a crunchier map. How many Stormveil Castles can you fit into West/East/South Limgrave? 15+?

    Our robot vacuum has a 50/50 chance of making it past this transition from hard floor to carpet due to the height of the carpet at the transition. Any suggestions? I tried putting a rug over it but it just looked awkward and ugly. Do they make little ramps or something for this kind of thing?

    I personally prefer the $40 instead of piece meal content DLC packs and MTX, etc... Return to the "pay to play" days of old. Plus this will definitely be a massive chunk. Game Director said it's From's biggest DLC yet.

    Yeah 2 years post-release is a LOT longer than most DLC takes. That and the price point do remind me more of the good ol' days of expansions: Lord of Destruction, Throne of Bhaal, Hordes of the Underdark, Heart of Winter, etc.

    It's a mental thing for me. Don't call it DLC even though technically it is. It would be an easier pill to swallow if it were called an expansion even though that term is no longer in use. DLC is generally something I skip altogether because it's usually $15 for a single map and doesn't really add much to a game.

    We'll see how I feel around June though. Right now the budget is tight and $40 on an expansion that I assume is going to be ball bustingly hard (as most Dark Souls DLCs are IMO) might not be in the cards.

    Or maybe it will. I'm a masochist afterall.

    I was thinking of getting some of those rubber floor covers for cables like this to... well cover some cables. But given its design, it might also work as a mini ramp as well, and I don't think it'd be a significant tripping hazard.

    It's fine for a human foot, but I can see why a roomba would have issues. You just need more of an incline, and those rubber covers are the only thing I can think of.

    I have to say there's one area where the HG Aerial has the FM version beat hands-down and that's how the long Gund-bits attach to the rear hip skirt Gund-bit. They are CONSTANTLY popping off at the slightest touch. The pegs are just too short, I think. I guess it's because of the slide mechanism on the shield base.

    Trying to think of what character I should take to the DLC when the time comes. I kiiinda wanna make Yet Another Character as like, Dex/Faith, to use a bunch of lightning. Or I could try playing a DLC blind with my consumables-only character; that can only possibly be a good idea, lmao.

    edit:

    Oh wait, I could just like, respec my Strength/Faith character into Dex to use lightning if I really want.

    Same. I'm torn between starting fresh or rolling in my NG+ character. I just started my first NG+ playthrough and I'm Playing as a STR/Faith/Arcane blend so I can go ham with Dragon Communion Spells I earned from my prior playthrough and burn/rot/freeze/glintspray everything to death.

    I don't care what they call it but full-price expansions gotta have the meat to make them feel worth that price, fromsoft DLC has never done that before so I am very interested to see if the $40 reflects the amount of content compared to the $60 massively stuffed original game or not.
    I'm definitely gonna be trying it to find out though.

    A lot of this comes down to framing. Honestly a lot of video game pricing talk in general just comes down to how people frame it. And of course personal value of money.

    I always frame it around it's value all on it's own. Is this thing enjoyable enough for this amount of money?

    Because you can always find ways to compare things to something else to make it seem more or less worthwhile. It's just a matter of what you choose to compare it to.

    And even if it's 1/5 the content that's still an amazing bargain for $40.

    Not sure what you're saying here. That FromSoft has never offered a chunky expansion-esque DLC (Old Hunters has entered the chat)? Or that their DLC is never worth the price point regardless of size / price (all of DaS2's DLC and Ringed City would like a word)?

    They actually have a pretty good DLC track record. Even Ashes of Ariendel and Artorias of the Abyss are not terrible, even if they are weaker than some others.

    Ashes is the only one that I'd call weaker, personally, although I can't say I really like Shulva.

    And even Ashes has a lot of really cool toys and some cool bosses. It's probably for the best that Fromsoft doesn't price things by my standards, since I'd probably pay the $15 for AoA if it were a The Surge style weapon/armor DLC that just dropped Crow Quills, Follower Saber, Onyx Blade, Valorheart, and the Ethereal Oak Shield into the base game in random locations...

    I think I've hated the majority of DLC areas. DS2 has good ones, minus the hard mode multiplayer ones I basically ignored. The last few zones of Bloodborne's DLC are great. The DLC for DS1, DS3, and the Hunter's Nightmare all suck.

    Huh. I think they're the strongest areas of their respective games for every game except Ashes vs vanilla DS3.

    I've heard they welched on covering travel expenses for content creators in the past. Some are also a bit wary of them selling Black Lives Matter decals. Unfortunately my Google Fu is failing me so I'll back off them for a bit.

    I hate reused areas/assets, which DS1 and Bloodborne had a ton of. DS3 just had dogshit unfun areas and bosses. DS3 in general has held up the worst on replay, I rate it lower each time.

    Ah, yeah, no bridging this gap, heh. DS3 is hands down my favorite in the genre, a feeling that's reinforced every time I go through it. No particularly bad areas, the best bosses in the genre, awesome weapons and spells, etc., etc.
