What is so HORRIBLY AWFUL about the dlc?

[Magenta Lizard]

I've heard about a couple bugs and nothing else. What is SO TERRIBLY BAD that it justifies review bombing?
You all just wanna hate on gearbox for the fun of it or is there an actual reason?

the items are trash, the survivors aren't great, there are an absurd amount of bugs, and the enemies aren't fun.

[Hextore]

It's because they changed it so everything is FPS based
Though that's just what I've heard and not experienced
I also can't find anything that these people are complaining about

[Magenta Lizard]

Played multiple times now and i've yet to see any bugs which is nice

1. its not just "A couple bugs". There are page-long lists of game breaking bugs.
2. It's not review bombing, its genuine criticism. A lot of the playerbase feels the new content is out of place or not great.
3. Hating on anything isn't fun, we are genuinely sad that we are losing a great game in front of our eyes.

Only thing i don't like is how chef has a built-in monster tooth... I was hoping he'd get a cooking ability like what he has in rorr

[RoxTytan]

I've been softlocked on the False Son (no prompt on shrine afterwards). Also, if you're in a multiplayer run, only 1 person can unlock the Chef :(

[I'm in immense pain.]

so uh... the boss has a hitscan death beam.. it also has an easier time hitting you if your fps is too high. new enemy variants are bleh, items are trash, new maps aren't that fun, the bossfight in general is whatever, and to top it all off the game is barely playable, it's legit unplayable on consoles and certain new items are super bugged so they just kill you/ make you take more damage.

The fact youre accusing us of hating on Gearbox for the sake of it is stupid. No one review bombed the game when they acquired the game. The issue isn't even the DLC despite it being mediocre.

The issue is the bugs it introduced after 2 YEARS. 2!

Loads of abilities are tied to framerate and that alone is enough to review bomb the game.

The DLC itself is just generally mid for how long it took.

The PATCH that came with the DLC is literally so unfathomably ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i was able to get a refund approved by someone on steam side for the DLC even after 4 hours with it after explaining the issues it has caused. Anyone involved in tying a notoriously laggy lategame looping cycle game's mechanics to framerate should never be allowed to work in the games industry again. I'm not even gonna write up all the bugs here because i would hit a cap on the text just check any of the growing number of "issues caused by the patch" megalists here, discord, reddit, etc.

Genuinely what benefits are there to tying physics to frame rate by the way? I cannot understand how this would create nothing but issues or why you would want to do it.

There is none, its an outdated practice and always leads to issues. Was thing in 2011 games, dunno why they even thought to change the entirety of the codebase to do that.

There is no benefit at all. It could create certain scenarios for speedruns (not specifically in this game but in general) but by "certain scenarios" we're talking about breaking the game intentionally through the introduction of fps fluctuation which by definition means that it's the wrong way of programming.

[rhabdophobia]

So it's exclusively a bad thing and should never be done.

Thanks, Gearbox.
