The Ringed City was really shit when it comes to the map, even back then. It's so annoying that it looks huge but then it's just a single street patrolled by Harald Knights, then a swamp with a reused boss and then a dull catacomb.
Yeah im always amazed at how short it feels when i replay. People complain about ariandel being really short, but ringed city just has a lot more space to move around, and a 2 more bosses, one of which is cheeks
That reused boss is one of the most fun enemies to fight in the whole game. I was glad to face them again, and this time without the butterflies to interrupt our glorious battle
finally some ringed city map slander dreg heap clears ringed city and the only reason its considered one of the best dlcs is because it has 3 absolute peak s tier bosses
I don’t know why it ever got praised besides its bosses (and it’s not like DS3 has a weak roster of base game bosses)
It’s like paying extra for irthyll of the boreal valley, pretty entry set piece just to progress to boring as shit grey slop level design with good bosses
I guess the painter lore is good but do we ascribe the painter lore to aridnelle or ringed city
Let the feast begin
Good thing I fear not the dark!
Don't mind if I partake
DS3 fans: OMG PEAK
As a DS3 enjoyer, I can say that this image is not peak.
I can see green there on the left, it should be grey.
Did you say GREEN???!!
All these squares make a circle. All these squares make a circle.

It doesnt bother me, it doesnt bother me. It bothers me. It bothers me a lot. AND THAT ONES STILL
GREENBLACK!Ah, I see you have exceptional taste. Team Four Star will live forever.
that fucking swamp and those funky guys are absolutely peak ill have you know
DS3 is peak
Man, that swamp does not look good in retrospect

To me it looks like a demo for Elden Ring.
A monochrome demo of Elden Ring with grey slop covering every inch of the place.
The slop has lore!
Let the feast begin.
definitely a test map for leyndell imo

Yeah I don’t get why that is a criticism + it drops a really cool armor set
Oh, the armor boss?
There’s a bunch of optional areas in the zones before that
I only remember the demon prince boss fight and the archers after that. Some easter eggs to past dark souls, mydir and the slave knight
it also didnt look good back then
miyahacki charged 39,99$ + tip for a DLC thats 80% swamp
Swamps are expensive, why do you think Shrek never wanted to share it?
Both DLCs were $20 I’m pretty sure
and + tip
Took me a minute to realize what subreddit I was in
Real
I SHALL PARTAKE
So, the game looks fucking perfect?
finally some ringed city map slander dreg heap clears ringed city and the only reason its considered one of the best dlcs is because it has 3 absolute peak s tier bosses
Ringed City does what DS3 is good at very well. i.e. it has great boss design. It plays to its strengths, and I can't fault it for doing so.
and it isnt annoying to get from boss to boss if you just wanna do that
Which makes it s tier peak
Geoff wish he could announce Ringed City
Im so happy people have started to hate on the ringed shitty
I don’t know why it ever got praised besides its bosses (and it’s not like DS3 has a weak roster of base game bosses)

I think the dreg heap was the best part of the whole dlc, the actually city itself was kind of meh.
I really enjoyed both DLCs in their entirety. But idk I just really like DS3 I guess. Probably my second favorite game ever behind ER of hundreds
It was just more DS3, and DS3 is pretty well-liked, so by transitive property Ringed City was bound to be well-liked.
I agree, it doesn't have the Follower's Sabre. Doo-doo dookie dogshit.
I would buy 3 copies, in facts, I already did that
I hate ringed city so much(not the dlc itselft the "city")
Love that ring city is considered to be one the best DLCs and you go to look at some screenshots from it and its just Ronald chilling in his swamp
Ds3 is a good example.
Rather this than another fuckass hero sho... Oh wait I don't have to play it nevermind.
