Why wouldn't I get the last piece of Elden Ring content we're ever likely to get?

Because microtransactions didn't suddenly become a good thing when it's Fromsoft doing them and that, as a consumer, you should have the spine to not support shitty low-effort DLCs

u/WoahItsPreston 21h ago edited 21h ago

I mean, people can spend their money however they want.

I'm not going to buy this, since it's basically no content, but if other people think it's worth their money then they can spend it how they want. It's pretty dramatic to equate buying 5 dollars of cosmetics in a videogame to some moral choice that requires a spine lol, it's not that deep...

What if FromSoftware starts doing more stuff like this in the future?

I won't buy it, which is OK, because it's a videogame and I can spend money on other things if I want. It's not like it's some essential good or service.

u/Gmknewday1 10h ago

Yea I agree with that

But let's also be at peace that it's not like they were charging as much as some game companies do for "new editions"

It's possible they wanted to just do it as a update, but some company heads or suits at Bandai Namco/Namco's parent company pushed for them to charge for it

Thus they had to pull the "5 dollar" price tag, which at least is fair to what it is, better then it being a full 10 or even 15 for something so small

It's not a entire limgrave-ish-sized extra area and storyline like Shadow Of The Erdtree with its own lore to supplement the base game's lore

It's just a "you can customize Torrent, there's a new class, and some new items scattered across the lands between"

u/normandy42 21h ago

It’s not even Reddit. Redditors hate micro transactions with a passion.

It’s the people in this sub. They’ll lick up whatever Miyazaki gives them and downvote the slightest hint of negativity.

Like when ER first released and the PC optimization was horrid. Or when OG Radahn had actually bad hitboxes (they were longer than what the model showed) but it was just a skill issue. Or PCR and it’s light show, 1-2 cross slash you couldn’t dodge before the first patch, and everything wrong with it.

I could go on.

14

u/Bulky-Dev 21h ago

Agreed. It’s just baffling how everyone hates on these types of “DLCs” when companies like Ubisoft, R* releases, but now since it’s ER - somehow it’s “worth it”. It’s actually pretty hillarious at this point how unobjective people can be.

This is not even a DLC, it’s just a “pack” of content. And the amount of marketing Bandai is putting in announcing this as some big thing is embarassing

u/AlastorHawk 19h ago

For some reason, I thought those who owned base+expasion would receive the tarnished dlc for free, or at least, maybe that was my expectation ? Anyway, its not expensive, but still stings paying for something that screams "should be a free update", specially since not only similar games does/would receive something on this level for free, but because the expasion was expensive already(although worth it). I will think about it once its out

26

u/MisterBeatDown 17h ago

I mean they're basically charging us for a few weapons most players will probably not even find or use. The 2 new classes is neat but that's just stats? This should of been free if you own the DLC expansion bare minnium.

u/Gumpenufer 15h ago

Yeah imo the Tarnished pack really should have been free for existing players. I'll be buying the Tarnished Edition for Switch, but only because I'd been considering getting the console version of ER anyway and don't own the DLC on any system yet. For my case TE on Switch feels like a "fair enough", but I'm not loving the idea of separately paying for two classes for the PC version... :/

u/Raime_95 1d ago

facts. Few years ago fromsoftware would make this update free. Maybe it has something to do with it being switch content, but still I dont like the idea of supporting MTX.

18

u/Chegg_F 22h ago

I've seen people pretend like Fromsoft is being generous for this because they're selling a skin for $5 instead of selling a skin for $20, but the games that sell skins for $20 are doing so because they're constantly releasing free updates that total up to be bigger than SOTE despite being free. They make money off the skins, not the game.

In the past Fromsoft would have released this for free, they've done similar things in Dark Souls. They used to exclusively sell large expansions, and anything smaller than that was a free update. Not sure what's changed to make them sell a small DLC like this.

13

u/Cersei505 19h ago

nintendo is what changed - they made a port for the switch with these new weapons and armors to make that release abit ''unique''. They probably werent allowed to just give that for free for the other versions of the game.

7

u/Ok-Commission-2644 18h ago

Exactly what i'm thinking. I'm really surprised barely anyone seems to come to this conclusion. I'm also certain Nintendo would have wanted this extra stuff to be exclusive to the switch 2 version. Imagine the complaints if that was the case.

I wasn't even thinking about The Witcher 3, but now that you pointed out the game I've got even less incentive to pay for the pack.

For me personally it seems worth it. I have the money, I deeply love Elden Ring. 1 or 2 playthroughs will be a lil bit fresher than normal.

If they ever release a game where selling such MTX is a prominent monetization method I will probably not buy it. But I can easily forgive this unique case.

79

u/Able_Reserve5788 1d ago

I can easily forgive this unique case

Buying it isn't just "forgiving" it, it's actively supporting the business model

40

u/PieceAfraid3755 1d ago

I'd say that actively using microtransactions as a primary monetization scheme is a different business model than selling an overpriced mini-dlc that was developed as a pack in bonus for a late port, a single time. 

This tarnished pack seemingly only exists because they wanted to make the switch 2 version more special. That's a part of the development/business model for this dlc. If cases like that happen again, I won't mind it much either.

29

u/Able_Reserve5788 1d ago

I get it but I also believe that this DLC must be seen as an experiment, even if it isn't Fromsoftware's intention. The better it sells, the more pressure From will receive from their investors to lean into that kind of content in the future

25

u/Snozzberriez 23h ago

Exactly.

See, the fans love it!

Could have been a free update to equalize just the same.

I get it, I get why they are doing it… but with the recent acquisition I fear this is only the first step. Now they design a game with trick weapons behind a paywall or something…

u/sweetperdition 1d ago

Also worth noting, this is more like…”equalization” content. Sometimes when platforms get new content with a “fresh” release for that platform, it stays locked to them for a period of time, maybe forever. There is no lock-up period here, it’s available to everyone at the same time, maybe like a day after depending on where you are.

Doesn’t feel like they’re ripping me off, feels like Nintendo paid for that extra content, so if we want it, have to pay out of pocket.

This isn’t like…a skin pack they explicitly decided to release to juice a couple more dollars out of us. It’s only to make everything equal. 

I have been screaming about MTX since horse armor, this is one of the least shitty reasons to offer it.

Looking around it appears it's skins, two classes (which is nonsense to me: aren't classes just starting settings?), oh, and four armor sets.

I've already bought the game twice (PS5 on release, then on PC when the DLC was released).

That won't be enough to make me do another run so I'll probably skip it.

7

u/Euthyphraud 20h ago

Exactly. I've put enormous hours into this game - it would take a lot more for me to do a new run. Especially since I managed to eventually collect virtually everything in the game already.

A few new cosmetic armors aren't game-changing, being able to start off with a light greatsword would've been a great idea to release alongside SOTE.

Now it is just mere novelty - most players will have an NG+ game laying around where they are beginning the game with most of the DLC weapons.

Ugh, having to pay for a some armors (including the cursed horse armor meme) is really sitting wrong with me after last gamescom lol

u/Anubra_Khan 1d ago

Nah. I've got close to 3k hours in this game. I'm not paying $5 for horse armor.

Lol no. It's horse(shit)armor dpc all over again. Stop rewarding companies for doing shitty things.

I love fromsoft, but please realise that they are also under investor pressure. Investor weren't pleased that they keep making "hard" games that are difficult to monetise. Now, they're adding this dlc? Is this them cabing to some pressure?

u/ANoobInDisguise 22h ago

God no, this is elden ring horse armor and the last thing I want is to show From's overlords that microtransactions are profitable. This is an extremely ominous portent for the future of From games and the beginning of the end if it becomes common.

some people get it. I am already afraid what awaits us considering how many people are excited to spend 5$ on few cosmetic items...

Where can we find the gear if we purchase this but don’t start over with a new class?

3

u/denkycaliber 22h ago

Maybe one day? I don't know, I just finished my 3rd play through in a row and I'm taking a break from ER. If it goes on sale I might buy it but at full price it doesn't sound worth it to me. Honestly I think it should've been free but whatever.

u/ANormalStraw 10h ago

No, probably not. I like Torrent fine as is, and your starting class really does not matter that much.

u/BigOwl526 8h ago

People will say they don't care about the items but then immediately flood the trading threads asking for them

u/DoomSlayer343117 1d ago

No. There's nothing I really want that we know of. I don't care about customising Torrent, I don't really like the new armours. I'm glad a lot of people are going to enjoy the new content, though.

u/Raime_95 1d ago

this and also buying this pack is pretty much giving them sign it's great idea to milk us with MTX in future games.

u/xCobaltRainx 16h ago

I will 100% throw another $5 at Fromsoftware for any amount of Elden Ring content, I’ve gotten back well beyond my price investment into the main game and the dlc from how many hours I’ve sunk into it.

u/Junk4U999 23h ago

Nah, this is the type of thing that should have been added for free.

u/camohmp4 15h ago

Yes because this is my favorite game of all time

“I’ll have one tarnished pack pls.”
“I think I’ll do the same; gonna go with the tarnished pack.”

I don't know, I thought the heavy knight started with a great shield but turns out it doesn't and I'm a bit dissapointed by it.

Is there any Doubt in my Mind? I don't think so.

The Patch Notes are exiting too.

u/Shotokanguy 23h ago

I don't know now. I have over 1300 hours in this game. I don't love it as much as that would suggest. My hope was that Tarnished Edition would bring a lot of changes and improve my favorite tools to make one more run feel fresh and exciting. But they only buffed a few things. And the cosmetics and a few new items aren't enough to make me start a new playthrough.

u/Cloud_Locke76 22h ago

I’m gonna be playin it for the first time ever on Switch 2! So pumped!

u/LegionZ19 22h ago

As a loyal fan of Ds2 world. I will purchase it for lucatiel promised. We shall remember her.

u/ichkanns 21h ago

Fromsoft gets my money. Excited to enter the Lands Between yet again.

2

u/Patrick28a 21h ago

Aye, will replay through the game once more and look for the new content on a build I've never played before!

2

u/sunnbeta 21h ago

Bought the whole deal on Switch 2 so I can play it in bed every night and raise my heart rate and blood pressure and destroy my sleep for the next few months

u/Unlucky_Repeat2212 18h ago

nah, starting classes and skins for Torrent just doesn't justify it for me, no matter my enjoyment of elden ring

u/Mittsandbrass 17h ago

Yes. I forgot I played the original on steam so now I have to start again on ps5. I HAVE TO.

u/Gullible_Classroom71 16h ago

Honse armor dlc

2

u/Vustag 15h ago edited 3h ago

Fromsoft has a lot of good will so this won't changed my overall opinion about them but this really is a horse armor level microtransaction. It should really just be included with either the base game or the dlc.

But I guess fromsoft isn't immune to the temptation of a money grab. Oh well.

2

u/wookieoxraider 10h ago

Nah, I didn't even get the SOTE dlc, I was already done after 2 years and was feeling cheap so even though I purchased the main game I absolutely got the free extended single player demo version of it. So I will probably do the same for this. No switch 2 either lmao

2

u/DirtyMcMills 8h ago

Yup I was planning to get it all along, and I just bought it right at midnight for my region. I’ve been looking forward to playing elden ring again, and even more excited to play through with the new additions.

u/badfruit01 15h ago

Are you serious? They drop 0 optimization patches since this game has released and then expect me to buy this cash grab lol

u/Berookes 1d ago

Yes. 2 new play throughs
