Asmongold has SPOKEN - DLC IS TOO HARD and IMBALANCED

[Pozzy Vibes GGHF :)]

"I think tommorow is going to be my last day of Elden ring, the enemies are too hard have one hit combos, and stunlock you to death, it's just so unfun"

When the #1 fan of the game objectively and scientifically thinks the game is imbalanced, then maybe something should be done?

Discuss.

He should git gud.

[Vivianite]

asmongold isnt good at games
same user who skips tutorial texts then asks why the game is too hard

[From_Dust_Formed]

No discussion necessary

I mean, where is he in the DLC?

If its the final boss, sure, I really cant defend the ♥♥♥♥ that goes on with that.

Anywhere else though? Yeah, he should just persevere.

Asmongold isn't ER's #1 fan regardless of what his simps are thinking. Jumping in with a lvl 185 character on a meme strength build, I find it to be too easy.

[RobeRonin]

he is a ♥♥♥♥ and the DLCis not too hard infarct i found 90 percent of what i did too easy and boring i will admit it was not balanced at all as occasionally some super mpc would ignore all stagger and poise mechanics and jump around so much it brakes the lock on camera and you can move lol ! and the new progression system is so linear its easy to tell you are meant to grab a new dlc weapon with more spam abilities get lots of ash and just face roll everything in the game by out dps`ing it and that is not a good souls game !

How is the DLC too hard?
Are we playing the same game?
Or a Twitch / Youtuber not actually as good at games as he believes?

[Dagný]

I'll only care about what he has to say once he defeats Fatalis.

[TotesBreakfast]

"Objectively and scientifically" is funny. Can't think of anything else worth discussing.

[Gemini Holo]

Imagine caring about what someone with a webcam thinks about a game.

Qualifications: I can talk on a webcam and upload videos.

OMG I'LL LISTEN TO YOU!

Asmongold is about as reliable a critical thinker as a classic Ford Pinto is as a fire retardant.

But I do kind of agree about some of the generic knight boss fights thrown in. They feel too fast and aggro compared to the main game's similar enemies.

It's subjective of course but for many yes the game isn't fun unless you're summoning but even then for some it's not fun.

I started the DLC without summons, just a greatsword approach no shield which I do in pretty much ever soulsborne game when I can.

To me the game is simply stacking damage, health on mobs, bs like spinning around your guard (Rellana is a big offender here) and just never giving you a clean shot.

I feel the game is just randomly letting you win sometimes. It's not playing well because there's no playing it well. You just have to get lucky where it occasionally doesn't do what it's supposed to do. Like sometimes Rellana will just stand there doing nothing eating damage. Other times Rellana doesn't stop attacking and you just die.

I've heard the same guy say it wasn't looking forward to the replay on the base game. I think it's how a lot of people feel. The challenge crosses into a realm where it's no longer fun and that's the problem.

Homing missiles, spinning around to break the camera, 8+ hit combos, etc, etc there's so many things and this doesn't include the shoddy controls that just don't work at times.

I did Rellana with like 3 ash lol, no shield, no summons and I got her to about 3% on some attempts but just lost interest with how things were going for now. Scadutree fragments are IMO a miss and they should have just not done it.

I know they want to preserve difficulty but why wouldn't people just go and soak up all the fragments ahead of the bosses? That's what they're doing. I mean people overlevel content as well. I leveled to 150 and stopped. So that's the game feels like it does to me.

Maybe later I'll farm up fragments and go again.

[Senki]

obvious bait but I'll just say only a single boss took me more than 5 tries and i'm going through the dlc without any major issues

I also changed my build like 5 times cause I keep finding cool weapons and all of them were doing well

The beginning is the hardest and after you find a bunch of upgrades it becomes easier

[Umbral Priestess]

I mean you can't just get away with jump attack spamming and trying to face roll every boss, he was going to hit a wall eventually.

"jump attack spamming with no thought process isn't working, they are too hard, i quit"

Sounds like the base game tbh. Only difference is you could out-level/upgrade a lot of enemies and bosses. I've only killed 5-6 bosses in the DLC. So far it doesn't seem any harder than end game content.

I heard asmongold ragequit after margit. So did I, but I haven't praised the game like he did. I just think it's funny that people like the game enough to ignore annoying difficulty until it hits a certain pressure point.
