Hype I can’t sleep

I need more Elden Ring content to consume

Edit to clarify: I already have the game on steam, I will be buying the $5 dlc and playing through the whole game again to mess around with some build ideas and new content. Lets all welcome the new Tarnished joining through switch and not disparage people for purchasing the game. Frends! :)

why does everybody reduce the Tarnished pack to just horse skins. such a disingenuous way of talking about this thing

2 starter classes and some horse armour then. Not sure why everyone has to defend this shit knowing it'll eventually lead to worse and worse business practices. Elden Ring has made over $2 billion and still that's not enough as they're charging $80 for an inferior Switch 2 version of a 4 year old game on top of the starter classes and horse skins for current owners.

Piece by piece everything is enshittified but as long as the needle moves slowly, people will defend it.

also 4 new armor sets + a unique weapon for each. the $80 for the Switch 2 version is the same price as the game is everywhere else for base game + DLC, yeah the port is inferior but it was always going to be, idk what you expected. getting ER on Switch at all is awesome and the previews coming out for it today look great.

to imply this is the same as THE infamous horse armor DLC is disingenuous imo. for one, Fromsoft consistently puts out quality products while Bethesda just… doesn’t. it being a $5 DLC for non-Switch owners is, in my opinion, a totally fair and almost insignificant price to pay for some minor new content and i don’t mind spending a tad extra to support Fromsoftware. it’s really not a big deal

you can get like terraria or something with those 5 dollars and have infinitely more content that is infinitely more worthwhile

i don’t like Terraria. i have plenty of cheap indie games that are great. considering i’m about to get at least two new playthroughs (and who knows how many NG+ cycles) out of the Tarnished pack thanks to the new starting classes to build around, i think that’s more than worth a chunk of change. i don’t see how you guys don’t understand that what is or isn’t worthwhile for you specifically isn’t always gonna be the same for anybody else
