ive never once found a coliseum after the first week of the update. other than duels. no one likes this game pvp with hyper armor on everything regardless of armor and ash of war spam on every build. Just not as good as dark souls pvp was back in the day

Think you're special?

I bet the Stormhawk Ash of War is op with the new divine beast warrior head and the new talisman that buffs storms too

The divine beast helm boost damage as well I'm pretty sure

Most of the negative reviews are from people complaining about the horrible anti cheat, EAC. There ARE people complaining abou the difficulty, but those are minority

You're a good assassin I like it. I created a stonewall build with Moores gear to stop y'all.

Used this with all other that boosts storm aows and the horned greatsword did over 1k to a poor little bleed user, and I liked seeing them panic into a second swing

stormblade is good also

DLC is a copy and paste

So what? A lot of people like it, a lot of people don't. That's how opinions work

I feel like the hitboxes are not consistent. Hippo bite and charge, Pig Rider charge. Pig Rider charge can either do no damage, normal damage or one shot 2000HP with buffs, while dodge rolling the same way, right at the pigs snout trough the boss. Some bosses were so underwhelming, e.g. Scadutree Avatar, apart of few bosses I can't remember what I even fought, several regular enemies were more difficult than bosses e.g. the weird leeches that spam you with immobilising spells from the edge of render distance and one you are hit, another just teleports and bites your head off. Or the frantic blender dancer that is the first thing you encounter in the shadow lands, this one felt like a game designer venting his frustrations rather than well designed enemy. And the visual spam of fights like Mesmer and Miquela/Radhan.

While there are plenty of things to criticize about the DLC, the review bombing feels really heavily influenced by a more general trend towards no-nuance, bad faith, bandwagoning that is so prevalent in online fandom spaces (especially gaming communities on social media). Either something is a perfect masterpiece handed down by the gods, or it's such a crime that we ALL get to revel in lighting our torches and sharpening our pitchforks. It doesn't help that we are almost never incentivized to acknowledge our own subjectivity. Always "This is bad!" never "I didn't like this, personally". Obviously, I'm not delivering the hottest take here. I think where this starts to LOOK more extreme is when it interacts with the infrastructure of simplified review scoring systems. Even a system like "how many stars out of ten?" is losing plenty of interesting critical nuance, because the reviewer no longer needs to express their reasoning in words (or even necessarily consider their supporting argument at all beyond vibes). But of course, we do it anyway because "9.7/10⭐" is way more readable on a website's UI than slowly working through 20 strangers' impromptu essays of varying quality (Take this comment for example; thanks for reading this far haha!) Finally, this reaches its natural conclusion once you hit the good old 👍👎. Not even a GRADIENT of quality. Just GOOD or BAD. Not even a neutral option (Remember our friend who said they would give it a solid *neutral* if they could 11:27 ). We *perceive* a gradient of quality for steam reviews by looking at the percentage of good vs bad reviews, just like we did with YT like/dislike ratios on game trailers when those were still visible. But it's easy to forget that a game with an "88% Positive" on steam is not just a game that the average consumer ranks as "B+" quality. Instead, its a title where 88% of respondents who felt passionate enough to weigh in chose the "BEST REVIEW POSSIBLE" option and the other 12% chose "WORST REVIEW POSSIBLE". It's all ratios and percentages that are based on an oversimplified YES/NO question. When each individual review making up that aggregate figure is so skewed to fit neatly into a binary choice, how accurate can the resulting figure be? What's more, not everyone can seem to agree on what the thumbs down even means. Is 👎"I WOULDN'T go out of my way to recommend it" OR is 👎 "I WOULD go out of my way to recommend *avoiding* it"? The former of those statements reads as more neutral to me, and the latter feels more displeased (and perhaps more deserving of a negative commercial product review). But you can see how often "GOOD" becomes 👍 where as both "MEH" and "BAD" become 👎 Circling back to our reviewer from 11:27 they gave the DLC a "6/10" which is closer to 10/10 than it is to 0/10 but they still rounded down, leaving their nuance for the text review portion (that ultimately won't factor into the aggregate review score on the store page). Can you blame them? Despite this system's simplicity, the actual implications of the rating system are kind of confusing. Even Yeertski seemed confused at the 6/10 getting a negative before generously giving them the benefit of the doubt by assuming the reviewer was using the lens of US school assignment grading metrics (6/10=60% --> 60% is an F). IS that what were using? Does the scale start at 0/10⭐ or 1/10⭐? Is 50% "Average" or is 70% "Passing"?? When is someone's view of a product so middling that the appropriate response is to leave *NO* review rather than one that the overall statistics will count as fully negative? If so, then what IS the right venue for a more conflicted review like this one? The whole thing becomes such a mess, but I do think its interesting to think about. Obviously there's way more to it, but still... One clean, (roughly) intuitive, little interface, mixed with a tangle of social factors, and then it gets mutliplied by a sea of thousands of inputs, and all of the sudden here we are lol 😂Another low review score for some grumpy bandwagoner on twitter to point at as the confirmation of their own biases. What can ya do, I guess...

The problem is not "ugh these casuals get filtered and rage quit" like some comments say. You can still tankroll throught full dlc? We are happy for you, but how can it makes things better? I love fromsoftware games, I beat armored core 3 times, sekiro 2 times, bloodborne 1,5 time(ng+ dlc), didn't had any problems with orphan,enjoyed every bit of ds3,didn't enjoyed ds2. I genuinely like hard difficulty that fromsoftware make. But in dlc - I didn't feel any "fromsoftware difficulty" at all. Dlc fells like fromsoftware in some kind of difficluty race and just make it artificial harder for veterans sake. I still liked dlc, but it feels like really underdeveloped concepts that got cut from original games, dlc screams "I'm unpolished because bandai namco wanted dlc for summer!"(for example only small amount of bosses have cutscenes OF DIALOGS, THIS DLC HAS THE SAME PRICE AS BASE GAME, THIS IS NOT NORMAL), bosses look spectacular, but not their fight itself is spectacular, their 99% in active move, doing hit by hit, combo by combo and very little window for attack, which you waste on heal. It's honestly not normal that you need mimic tear JUST TO MAKE TIME TO HEAL. There is so little amount of bosses without this 300% speed bullshitery. I enjoyed bossfight with godwyn soldiers in catacomb and their fight feels ideally paced. I myself love bayle,messmer,rellana, but it's really a problem. Second thing - empty spaces. Dlc genuinely feels like it would've been much better if it was linear. Dlc feels so empty, yes, there is content, there is 100+ weapons, 50+ incantations but..What's the point of it when you walk through whole location, exploring it and find nothing?.. Because you missed some ladder or cave in dark? You think that you get to location on map througt story - haha , go f#ck yourself. There is only 4 story bosses and you need only 3 location(Messmer castle, rauh and enir elim) 3. Quest and it connection with exploring - it's awful. You get punished for exploring oper world, you miss some quest or options if you kill some boss or , don't you dare to go to messmer castle! Or npc will move and some of them you'll miss forever if you don't look in this dark corner of talk with them in "not intended order " (freyja). Except, mesmer castle is the biggest object on the map, you think it'll conmect with other regions like cerulean cost and jagged peak because you didn't look at that dark cave, but no! Also , about some empty spaces - f i n g e r r u i n s. Please, stop being fanboys, Miyadzaki can make mistakes, fromsoftware can make mistakes and you need to make conctructive critique for fromsoftware to not make the same mistakes again. This DLC HAS THE SAME PRICE OF BASE GAME, this bullshittery unforgivable for that number of unpolished and broken content. Why is witchers 3 dlc didnt' had price of the base game? It's also has the big amount of new content, this is not an excuse

In the context of modern games it doesn't make sense to have mixed reviews because then, to be just, almost every other game should have negative ones. If we take out the comparisson with other games, because the current state of gaming is trash, then I understand the mixed reviews, a 5 out of 10 is perfectly acceptable since what the game did well it does extremely well but it has too much problems that haven't and will not be fixed like some people expected. To put it short the pve aspect is amazing but pvp seems even worse than before the DLC, hence the 5 out of 10

I like how these people never give examples or specefic attacks they have problems with because they know they have no argument and are full of shit. they go like "bosses have 50s combos that leave with no attack windows" which is not true at all.

Malenia is so arrogant and she says that she has never known defeat. Well, we've got consort Radahn, who is a way more stronger than this arrogant girl.

My review for it was Mixed. The DLC patch broke my game verssion so I only got to play 2 weeks later and one of my save files got corrupted. The boss desighn continues a lot of the flaws of lategame Elden Ring bosses where the difficulty comes from being unfair. The world is 10/10 and the areas put the basegame to shame, but the bosses are underwhealming to bad. The quests are a mess, and practically undoable without a guide as accidentally walking around can ruin them by breaking Miquellas rune.

Im on my second run and I can say that most of the difficulty complaints are bs, on my first run I got into the dlc early with a low level double greatsword jump attack build and beated most of the content alone with a black knight summon. It was only on the two strongest bosses that it spiked off so hard and I think it was fair, I would say that the dlc is a little barren, but the quality of the content makes up for it; now Im going with a new more flexible build with more optimal items and stuff and Im having a blast, I think people just got way too comfortable playing ds3 and the base game.

95% of the dlc was amazing and its the peak of elden ring. But only elden ring. Its not their best dlc ever.

tbh its the second worst fromsoft dlc but nothing tops ringed city levels of bad tho this one gets really close.

Favorite moment 16:13 ❤ He wanted that run back

doe niet zo stoer man knuppeltje

There’s only two places the most pathetic players occupy: ganks and arena 1v1 with the sweatiest try hard tactics 😂 mf who start with spell spam, dragon breath running likes etc. like there’s no reward dude, arena should be for fun challenging fight, not cheese.

Really good fights on this one. Always make me want to change my build back to halberds lol.

MAAAAXXX ! 🤣

For me it felt like there was a lot of empty space

Your truly a beast indeed. You'd be a worthy fight

We should do a charity stream to get you a ps5😊

Always good to see you doing an trying something differently

yo the arena got maaad sweaty after the dlc though. but how are you getting all these combat ordeals? i’m dying to get in a match and i can never match up

Fun fighting. Your maximum equip load is enormous. You are not getting much from your endurance level, armor or talismans. What’s the secret?

Very good fight 👏

I love the arena. I like coming in with the Marika's hammer (I don't spam weapon skill on it) and just try to be fancy when I fight. I like hammers

Crouch attack is unreactable and roll catches instantly. Not saying anyone should go do that though.

Final boss definitely lowered my overall enjoyment and replay value but still a positive experience overall

Elden ring ain’t even that hard, I got way more ass-mad playing Hollow Knight in comparison. Like, it’s difficult, but to the extent of what people lead it on to be? No, it’s difficult but completely fair.

Might wanna finish getting the rest of your flask upgrades to plus 12 lol

DLC has a lot of issues (mostly PVP related) but it's still a 9/10 easily

You can literally trivialize anything in this game. Stop being a bitch and crying about how hard it is lol

Sword dance goes really well with back hand blades

badredman ruined my playthreeeww 😖 1:07

Watching this while getting a hole shot through me by a particle accelerator

pvp is elden ring brain rot but i like it

It reminds me of when everyone was saying DS3 got easy, and when the Ringed City DLC came, they stopped saying that. This could be viewed the same way as when DS3 was called easy because people were too used to the old mechanics, so they added some new stuff for arificial difficulty and with how hard things are in the shadow lands it makes sense lore wise as to why it's difficult.

Sad that someone goes in, doesn't use the game mechanics made to give you an easier time in game, and then says it's too hard, then reviews it as bad. If I could add my inpit on steam reviews, I would since I think it's pretty good, difficult, but that's the point, and yet still good.

Every bad review on this game and the dlc is just based on bad skill or low paitience. This game is the best game in a verry long time! The dlc will get Goty too i think. Nothing about the lore, gameplay, graphics, design and difficulty is wrong its just perfect how it is! Just because you dont use all tools the game gives you or you have to learn the attack patterns for the boss dosnt make the game bad! The hard part of the game is the best of it. U need to overcome the challenge! Ps: if you say bosses or some bosses are broken iam sorry there is manny hitless level 1 runs already. They proof that you can dodge everything!
