would say it's probably the worst souls DLC. most dlc's in the series and bloodborne elevates the game to greater heights. this just feels like it maintained the status quo of the base game.review sites were giving this DLC around a 7...seems like the short length is what lowered the scores...do the people that have played it here agree with 7/10?...or is the game under-rated?
Yeah, was expecting something more difficult than vanilla as well. This seems easier.would say it's probably the worst souls DLC. most dlc's in the series and bloodborne elevates the game to greater heights. this just feels like it maintained the status quo of the base game.

Wolves suck. I've honestly never understood why people have trouble with dogs in Souls games. Now I do. At one point I had at least 10 of them chasing me, they're just really annoying.
Those assholes with the claws are the worst enemy in any Souls game, I'd take a combination of the Fishing Hamlet shark giants and Winter Lanterns over those guys. They remind me of the red-eyed skeletons in Carthus with their ridiculously fast attacks. Just not fun to fight at all.
Other than that I've been enjoying the DLC. First area is kinda just there but the second area has been much better so far.

Yeah, I'm probably too high a level I guess. It's a shame though, because being too high a level was actually a problem I ran into my first time with The Old Hunters. Basic ass enemies right off the bat were wrecking me, and I loved it.Depends when you do it. I started at 65 with a +7 weapon. I had to go get a few chunks and kill a few bosses because I was getting annihilated. Now I'm watching Oroboro's playthrough and it's obvious that it's completely trivial at high level with a +10 weapon. I'd say theare the hardest in the game.Claw/rapier enemies
Anyone have an estimate for how long the DLC is?
Most other people are comparing it to previous From Software DLC though, which has built a reputation of being higher quality than the vanilla game that it's for. This is the first exception, and it's disappointing because of that.I guess I value things differently because to me 15 bucks for more quality Souls content is always worth it, even if its ~5 hours (which is how long a ton of 15-20 dollar indie games are anyway)

5 to 7 hours.

Took me around 3 hours

Spend a good 2-3 hours in the DLC, found quite a bunch of new stuff in the game. Lots of different type of environments and enemies within those few hours. Haven't fought a single boss yet.
The atmosphere and visuals are breathtaking. Level layout and design is pretty good too though not outstanding.
Some of the areas give a very Bloodborne feel to them and the creep factor is definitely dialed up.
It's not particularly difficult though. I am playing on NG+4 with a 130 level character and am generally breezing through it. The hardest part for me so far was theCrow looking dude with the Rapier and throwing daggers.
Also there should've been at least one extra boss in this DLC.Preferably something creepy or weird like a Crow style enemy or a boss based on those fly/maggot enemies.
Item distribution is kinda wack too.From Software at maximum levels of trolls.Beat a hard ass red eye Viking looking dude on top of a tower and get a Titanite Shard for your troubles.
I feel like if this DLC was priced lower no one would really complain about it but at the current price it's definitely steep. I can see the criticism but I am enjoying my time, can't wait to dig into it again tomorrow.
So, im not sure if anyone tried this, but what happens ifyou attack friede before the final fight? is the boss fight negated, or the game doesnt really care you killed her?A friend of mine mistakenly killed her, and is afraid it fucked his save.
