Dark Souls 3 - The Ringed City DLC trailer

[bartholen_v1legacy]

Well here it is. The next DLC seems to be set at least in part in the crazy, messed up landscape glimpsed at the very end of the game and also possibly Londor, the constantly referenced Land of Hollows from the main game.

To be honest, I'm rather indifferent to it. After Dark Souls III and Ashes of Ariandel both turned out disappointing, burnout has set in for me. If the reviews for this turn out good, I'll maybe buy it.

I too am not feeling the "wow" factor that I should be feeling. Not due to the trailer, mind you. I think the trailer looks awesome, and I'm really hoping we get some well-deserved answers. While I don't want everything spelled out for me, I would like a little bit more clarity, and it seems the DLC is aiming for that.

However, Dark Souls III just felt...lesser than every game before it. And yes, I'm including II because I like II. It wasn't a bad game by any means, but the magic, that feeling of wonder and vastness that all the other games have had just didn't strike me with the third one. And when the first DLC came out, I was hoping for it to fix this, but it really didn't. It was just sort of...there. I like the implications of it, but I get the feeling they would have done better if they did what they did with Bloodborne: combine the DLC into one piece and release it all at once.

Also--and I'm sure people will be upset with me over this--the fact that there are no trophies for the DLC was just icing on the "Meh" cake for me. I still haven't actually finished Ashes. I'm at the final boss, but I just have no desire to keep playing. Hoping that when my friend gets there, the spark will come back.

After the 30th time Sister Friede smashes you into the ground, the spark will likely be lost again.

Seriously, that fight is harder than the Nameless King by a large margin. The scythe you get from the boss soul is neat, though.

Didn't get to see much of the environment at all in this trailer, unfortunately. A few rocks. Hopefully they come through with some strong boss designs. I've also been lacking motivation to replay the base game and first DLC.

The game kills my self-esteem. =(

Dark Souls never had the DLC have achievements. The only real exception is Scholar of the First Sin which updates the "Get all spells" achievements to include DLC spells, but otherwise adds no new ones.

I'm very much looking forward to this. And yet, I'm a little hesitant. The setting of the DLC certainly makes it seem like certain plot points will finally be laid to rest. But this is Dark Souls, and even with this more than likely being the swan song of the series, things will be left unanswered. As is tradition, of course, but I can't help but to long for a little more closure.

I know, but when they released Bloodborne's DLC with trophies, I was really hoping that it wasn't just Sony going, "Yeah, you need to put those in since this is our exclusive" and it was more of From Soft going, "Yeah, we're finally on board with this."
Alas, that was not the case.
