I'm willing to bet the content for the two DLCs will be comparable to the previous two in total. Much of the disapointment I'm reading stems from the lengthy development time this had.
It think we all need to take a step back and realize that From has put out two fantastic Souls games plus DLC plus Bloodborne in the span of like four years. Output like that is kinda nuts for a Japanese dev of that size.
For those seriously complaining about the "lengthy development time"
You do realize the studio is working on 2 new IPs and an Armored Core Reboot right? It's not like they don't have other shit to do.
Probably won't be picking this up. I think I've been spoiled by the BB DLC.

Opposed to getting all upset over nothing?so Dark Souls 3's paltry DLC offerings are okay... because they made Bloodborne...?
oh okay cool, so now we're excusing it with games that haven't even been named.
Good lord people, have some self respect.
I agree with this, but maybe there's more to it - perhaps deadlines with Namco? Maybe get the shorter one out now and they're still working on the second, which is hopefully bigger.Seems its main problem is that it's light on content. Hopefully the second DLC will be meatier, otherwise they should've done an Old Hunters and release both as one DLC.
Sounds like a cynical cash grab to me. Two bosses? Really? Artorious of the Abyss had two bosses within its first half hour.

"But theyve been working on it for so long!"
"Yeah but they've split their resources and attention between 3 much larger projects"
"SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO EXCUSE THIS OUTRAGE NOW?!"
Get over yourself.
Length=/=qualitySorry, I don't judge games on a curve based on effort or circumstances outside of my control as a consumer. I am not their PR team, making excuses for the quality of the things they're selling me.
This DLC is marketed the same as any other DLC, there is no "but they were real busy with something else so don't judge it too harshly" card that can be played here. No one except the most staunch of apologists should care about that because it is entirely irrelevant.
Were previous DLCs really all that long? I'm not even close to being a great player by GAF standards and I don't remember Artorias in DS being terribly lengthy nor did the King DLC in DS2. Bloodborne DLC took forever, but only becausetook 2 hours, bridge boss redux took 3, andLudwigtook at least 4 hours.Kos (Kill on Sight)

As a single dlc for ds1.
We'll have two dlcs for ds3.
Translation: "I've run out if excuses and stupid complaints so I'm going to shitpost for attention"They were also working on Dark Souls 2 and a PC port of DS1, so I'm sure they were really stretched thin or whatever sob story Killer Queen wants to use to justify DS3's lesser DLC.
As a single DLC priced at $15, the same as this.
A second DS3 DLC priced at $15 doesn't retroactively make this one any better.

You're giving negative feedback for something you haven't played, outraged, kicking and screaming over something you yourself haven't played yet, complaining about me dispelling a myth then shoving words in my mouth, and calling me out for being opposed to your silliness. It's not like you ever had any discussion to begin with....because "they're really busy with other things, stop complaining" is such constructive discussion.
Don't take negative feedback so personally, you didn't develop the game.
