Elden Ring isnt a game for everyone

[Foxrun]

A lot of players are finding out they aren't as good as they thought they were with this DLC.

Elden ring was a game for everyone, the DLC isnt for everyone.

I love seeing stuff like: it's a fast game with a slow clunky main character. Nah, it's you the player who's slow and clunky.

[Haru]

No, it absolutely has to be a game for everyone, at all times.

Inclusivity is everything.

Conform.

Entirely forget that inclusivity and exclusivity go hand in hand.

Become Borg.

Conform to the idea that everything has to be homogenised slop so everyone can like and enjoy it with no room for discourse.

We are borg.

It was not. Their past titles are not either.

If you are slow and clunky then lower your equipment load.

impossible. any difficulties result from the poor design choices of professional developers who know less about software development than unemployed teenagers

a seasoned gamer can identify the level of tuning on a boss fight the moment he steps into the room or hears about it from assmonger's stream (whatever that guy's name is) and can tell you right away whether it is overtuned, overeasytuned, or sunnysideuptuned

This is easily one of the worst works from From. Without spoiling or going into too much detail, the DLC story is disgusting and is just massive character assassination from 2 beloved characters with actions that don't even make sense.

Most of the bosses were a letdown, continuing the trend of late game Elden Ring where bosses look and act like they belong in Sekiro. Long combos would be fun if there was any real counterplay. There isn't. I liked the moon girl and the finger lady. They were cool. Final boss was kind of a performance nightmare so I really didn't like it on top of the things I already mentioned.

Empty open world for the most part. The first area is jam packed w plenty to discover, but once you leave that initial area it just starts to feel like setpieces, only existing just to be there or to go from point A to point B. The base game also suffered from this in the later areas; post-Leyndell.

Massive performance issues. Can't think of a boss I didn't really have any stuttering issues with and I'm running well above recommended specs. Final boss completely tanked my frames with that one attack.

One idiot got infamous for actually saying about er: a game that's not made for everyone shouldn't be made in my opinion.

A seasoned gamer? Seasoned from what, COD and FIFA, or Zelda?

Umm no actually they discovered that , when you have bad controls and a worse camera.
Then you try to have 100 foot mobs fly through the air in immunity frames ripping off 6 chain combos that result in you playing a dodge simulator.

Its not fun to do .
ANYBODY can beat this game and every one from has ever made.
its digital simon says.

The issue in this DLC is .. fewer people want to.
Why play a game that limits you to 10% of your character skills.
Just have one character with a great sword , who does one attack at a time ..

you are right, it is no longer a fun game .
and that is definitely not for everyone.

These games have always attracted extreme tryhardiness, and the tryhards who believe that "professional developers" always make fun games and work with a moral compass are cute.
