ELDEN RING

5 euros for an horse armor, what's next, a re release on switch?? Todd is this you??

Elden Ring is easily one of the most incredible and engaging games I've ever played. The open world is just so massive and beautiful that I often lost track of time completely. I love how the game gives you total freedom to explore (almost) wherever you want right from the start, making every hidden dungeon and secret boss feel like a real discovery. The combat feels super crisp and rewarding, especially when you finally beat a tough boss after trying 5,000,000 times. Plus, there are so many different weapons, spells, and cool armor sets to choose from that you can really play the game exactly how you want and the replay value is endless. It is a absolute masterpiece that every single gamer needs to try at least once because the sense of adventure is unmatched.

It was a good game but as of 2026, "shareholders" are wanting more profit from FromSoftware titles. Don't support that mindset or these type of games will no longer be what you love about them. period. Greed will never usurp real Art.✊

When you see the negative reviews from people like me with hundreds and thousands of hours of playtime, that's your signal that something happened. Something went wrong. Elden Ring is a masterpiece of a game with excellent story telling and visuals. It's a piece of art that I intend to continue to share with as many people as I can because good art deserves to be seen. So why the negative. FromSoftwares parent company recently had a shift in power via a stock buy from a company who has shown anticonsumer interests in the past. Now I'm not going to lie to you about the contents of the 5$ addon. It's something like 5 sets of armor, 2 npc encounters, and 3 cosmetic skins for your steed. These may not be the exact details, and in any other game this would be not the most egregious addon on offer. But this is the first of it's kind in a fromsoft title. It's a canary so to speak. What is more important to me is the history of the addon itself. The addon was a way to move copies for the switch 2. This extra content was exclusive to the switch 2 for a period and is now being allowed to branch out to the other versions. Which is fine, that's how business works. The problem, however, is that the switch 2 copy of elden ring is the exact same price as the shadow of the erdtree bundle. Meaning switch 2 has the new addon content, the dlc, and the base game for 79.99. Everyone else is the ONLY ONES footing the "bill" for this addon content. Recently a "community quest" went live. It doesn't matter what the challenges are, the rewards are artwork and twitch badges which irrelevant to the game. This is a blatant bid to boost player count. The company that bought the controlling interest is a hedge fund, more players means higher share price. I'm not fooled and neither should you be. Participate in the quests, there's no harm in playing the game you love. But don't buy the horse armor. It's a trap, a crack in the ice, the first of many needles.

Horse armour DLC in the year of our Lord: 2026. LOL Have fun spending your $5 on something that should have been free.

For some reason (i.e. shareholders) they continue to patch in pointless crap and dlcs. Leave it be.

don't like paid dlc given content that should have been in the game from the start very bad look. for fromsoft

" just like Todd Howard woulda done" can't boot my seamless cause it's now broke for the $2.50 horse dlc, history really does repeat itself
