Are the negative reviews legit?

[Pope Leo XIV]

I thought the DLC was phenomenal. Beyond expectations. But I’m seeing negative reviews because of petty stuff like “no DLSS support”, “Bosses do too much damage”, or “colors looked washed out”. The reddish hue is response to Messmer’s realm, like in movies to evoke a sense of dread. Bosses too hard? Well, did u expect the DLC to be easier. Plus, Elden Ring has a sensitivity setting, it’s called looking up cheese builds and farming. no DLSS or wide screen support, so why negative bomb it now?

How ungrateful and entitled can people be. Either Clown Reaction farming or fresh out of microtrasanction / P2W territory… or maybe actually bad because ur friend told you how good this game was.

The common rage baiters will be ignored as usual.

It's 2024 and fromsoft can't do basic features that Indie games do. So yes the criticism is valid. Don't let multi million dollar corps tell you what's right.

The only valid complaints are those related to the performance and re-use of assets (copypasted dungeons and such). Anyone complaining about the bosses just sucks.

Bosses have a legit problem of having attack chains that are simply too long. It's not fun to roll through 10 attacks just to get one of yours in. Personally, I went into the DLC as a greatshield + greatspear wielder with a strength + arcane character and counterpoked every boss I've met so far (including the twin moon knight) to death from behind my shield with zero need to memorize attack patterns, but for people who rely on rolling those long attack chains do not create a pleasant gameplay experience. For them, game feels like it's turn-based lmao.

What do you mean "are they legit"? Do you think people are just botting negative reviews or something? Tons of people are detailing exactly why they don't like the dlc and wouldn't recommend it to others. If you disagree with their reasoning, that's fine it's a difference of opinion and preference but it doesn't mean that what makes them not enjoy the game is illegitimate. Even if you don't like their reasoning, it's better than the copy paste meme and tuber quotes that don't say anything about the person's actual feelings about the dlc.

I mean the DLC has a tone of issue, Predominance not whit standing. The map design suck, large amounts of empty nothing that you have to run though, lets not forget the terrible attempts at platforming where you can just slid right off die multiple times erasing tone of time due to no fault of your own. Let not forget the copy and pasted content, something were supposed to pretend is bad, and more so copy and pasting stuff from the game you already payed for. I think their may be more copy and pasted dragon "boss" fights in the DLC then their are in the base game.

And we can keep going on, but let cut it short. Their is a lot to not be happy out with a $40 dlc pretending to be and expansion.

This. Loved the DLC personally, probably my favorite of fromsoftware, actual piece of art, and its in this day and age. I don't get why people complain, literally most of it is about bosses being too aggressive and everything in the DLC doing too much damage. IMO the difficulty is just where its needs to be, main bosses shouldn't be beatable first try with a cheesy build. Seems like most of the nitpicking is from the people who couldn't handle the difficulty spike after the main game, guess devs did a good job making a challenging expansion

Think of the most annoying, stinky, socially inept, ungrateful, unkind, angry, cowardly, etc, people you have ever met, and remind yourself that they can just slide up on any game, buy it, give it a trash review, and refund it for giggles. Its been a broken system. It doesn't mean anything. The same people will go upvote games like Stray too.

yep the same pretty much happened with dark and darker. the game was previously pay to play, but they decided to make a free to play version, of course these people found ways to cry about it and that it wasn't good enough how they could access 90% of the game, naturally they wanted more.

what happened to gamers.. how did we become to sensitive and overly critical?
