This DLC is not "to hard", its a chore

[Aradner]

I have over 2000 hours in souls and soulslike games, I do not struggle with bosses in the game, I might get angry with some, but none of them stopped me for longer than 30 minutes of attempts. But I am just not having fun, I enter the bossfight, see my damage, see the moveset and very fast understand what I need to. And I can't be bothered. I am currently in the middle of shadow keep, not fighting the boss ofcourse because that will lock me out of like half the content of that expansion in the form of quests (but that is a pile of crap for another discussion), and over the course of this expansion I had fun with literally 4 bosses:

Shadow Keep Hippo
2 Death knights
Bayle the Dread

Bayle in particular reignited that adrenaline rush in me that made us all fall in love with FromSoft games in the first place (yes I fought him solo, plus the useless summon guy). But that is it, everything else is either an easy joke, or an absolute chore, not to mention we need to balance the whole experience ourselves. These bosses that aren't jokes are just not fun to learn, there is barely any shred of that satisfaction these games used to spark, because FromSoft is in constant state of arms race with its own fanbase. I see what the hardcorest players see in it, but it well deserves the mixed reviews. I personally am getting very tired of this arms race, even the weapons we get started to suffer, since most boss weapons of the DLC vary between mid and total trash, and honestly I am starting to think that this might be my last FromSoft game I'll ever buy if this keeps up.

Mesmer is great
Putrescent knight is great
Lion dancer is great
also I wouldn't say they are overtuned

Haven't tried messmer yet for reasons stated above.
Putrescent Knight had a random chance to sync with his horse in such a way he was undodgable, and his floor fire visuals kept glitching out, so I find him one of the trashiest of the bunch
I would probably have liked Lion Dancer much more, but I encountered it with way to few upgrades and brute forced him, which made him a horrible chore, and I blame that stupid scadutree system for it more than the boss itself, although some of its attacks were very badly telegraphed and its hitboxes have very little to do with his actual model and graphics.

Bayle on the other hand had well telegraphed attacks, I could literally stand on the edges of his explosions, he had rythmical timing, he was ferocious but had enough downtime in his attacks to allow healing and casting or whatever else you needed, while being ferocious enough so that you really had to earn your damage.

See I don't think I'm the one with terrible taste here.

also love bayle him and plasidusax are the only good dragon fights in this game and seeing as they somehow crammed in over 20 thats not a good ratio tbh

You'd probably love Ubisoft games, they got that new Assassin's Creed coming out. No need to play a game you feel like is a chore

I only really enjoy their shooters, last good assassin's creed was black flag, although I hardly see what that has to do with anything related to the topic.

I think I know what you're talking about with Putrescent. Like after he does the spin spin horse charge string. I just unlocked and aimed for his rear, or else my attack would miss
Bayle was thematic and awesome, one of the easiest bosses imo. I guess we're used to fighting dragons.
Dancer I went there with only +1 blessing and my frames were dropping with his particle effects, he was a ♥♥♥♥♥

I was cursing under my breath at the delays in the Putrescent fight first couple tries. I like it, unique fight.
Dancing Lion is very cool thematically, bit of a camera boss. Killed him at RL1 very easily

I like how he and his horse tag team you

lol all of this just to complain about how you can't deal with the bosses or the difficulty. this game doesn't hold your hand, and from your post, it sounds like you need some hand holding. just quit and move on to a different game, not sure why you feel the need to complain to the internet about your skill issues.

OP in 2022:
"why margit is so op the attacks are delayed"
"i cant for the love of god defeat this golden knight"
"why theres a dragon in the lake?"

I mean Margit does have some ridiculously delayed attacks let's be real.

Don't forget the 14 attack combos that are mixups that margit throws out randomly because lol.

Yeah, like who actually complains about delays, delays are just obnoxious, nothing more, Margit sucked because it was the first boss that broke the iconic "dance" that was so fun in Souls, and felt specifically designed to punish Souls vets habits. He is the symbol of "making it challenging being more important than being fun". They took away some fun in learning that dance, to insert more challenge in the form of dumb "gotcha" moments

"Alone" as in 30% of reviews doesnt exist? All criticisim threads are "git good" threads somehow. Community (and by community i mean obnoxious 5% of loudest tryhard players like you who think beating FromSoft's video game is a life achievement) forgot that game are supposed to be REWARDING in addition to being difficult, and you bastardized the "git good" meme, and started using it unironically. I had fun in a solo fight against Bayle, and half the internet is crying about him, I think I got good back at Bloodborne thank you very much.
