Mixed reviews on DLC?

[Obelisk]

Why? Is it performance issues?

[Last Jackdaw]

Elden ring (base game included) is really badly optimized. Game runs ok on my 6 month old pc, and it should run great.

Combined with people who dont understand the alternate leveling mechanic having a hissy fit.

It's just kids hating a challenge and needing participation trophies and instant gratification.

[Skill Issue]

Extremely bad game design.

[Aftonstjarna]

Runs kinda bad and also people seething that they can't blow through it with their max level character bc of the separate progression system.

There's a fight with one of the DLC dragons and a bunch of knights and I was getting dips in the 30's. The base game had problems at launch but not this bad.

The Performance and the unbalanced bosses

[MeldinX2]

People are just pissy that the DLC does not make the performance any better than it was before. For me it runs the same as the base game. It runs decently but it does stutter every now and again. It's not a big deal. The other thing people are upset about is the difficulty. The DLC is very hard if you don't explore and get the fragments. And even then the bosses are super agressive and on you all the time. I don't consider that a negative however, people complained that the base game was too easy so they made it harder but now people are angry about that instead. People are just never content.

Eating a bowling ball is hard, doesn't make it good. And before you start dribbling out the "git gud" rhetoric, it's possible to beat a game and still think it has a poor design philosophy.
