Massive entitlement and arrogance, that is what pc gaming has become.
Some real points in the reviews there.
The game has some design problems. It's just designed to be an ass to the palyer.
I knew what I would get into so I skipped buying it for now altogether after watching some streams.
I saw few situations that I didn't like:
-You fight a naked dude with claws. he is naked. You are fully armored level 150-200. He 2-3 combo kills you, you hit him for 2% of his health. you have 2k health, he has like 50k. This random naked dude has more health than radagon and elden beast together. It's just nonsense. At least put some armor on him.
-Lion boss. Infinite stamina, hard to read attacks (a bit too hard because of the camera too). Less health than that random naked dude lol but still hits like a tank.
-Every enemy, like the dancing guys you meet first got tons of health and infinite stamina.
The problem is believability to me. You are level 200. You beat ELDEN FUCKING BEAST AND RADAGON. Now suddenly you are an idiot with 2k hp while everyone else got 50-100k. Yours and them attack both hit for around 1k.
So while I've not played the dlc, I think putting all negative reviews into "git gud" category is not really fair.
Without being able to critique games, we can never improve.
I had issues with elden ring endgame and last few bosses too and nobody listened.
edit: My fav part of from software games is lore, exploration, collecting gear, uncovering new places and new enemies... and often bosses just stand in your way of doing that. There is more to games than just hard streamer bosses. Lies of P made the same mistake in the endgame.

They’re getting trashed on and blaming performance 
git gud
Ngl though running a SL 140 build and this shit is definitely challenging

I mean, I have no stake in this horse-race (I think that's the phrase?), but I think it's extremely ironic how "hard game is hard", and now it's too hard, lol!
But FR, the melt-down from journalists and pathetic review bombing on STEAM is incredibly petty. They all knew what they were signing up for...

Anyone else just tired of the childish review bombing on steam anytime they dislike a single thing. Its like a hive mind there like with the PSN requirement, they bombed Helldivers and went to hell and back to get refunds even though they clearly loved it with hundreds of hours. Next if from did fold, they won’t, they’ll be articles of review bombing favorably
I wonder if someone counted frames on rellana boss fight.
The time to react before sword swings is SO TINY. Looks like single digit amount of frames. Sword up - delay delay delay and then the sword is in your ass.
Proper animations should have a wind up, so you can react. At least few of her attacks look like that from what I've seen on happy hob stream. the guy been no hitting these games for 10 years and he is furious with the dlc lol. I mean, he is joking around but also I can see he is really mad

I take back what I said. I played hours yesterday and I don't feel like it's that much harder than the base game?At least they can cheat on PC
I hope the backlash is so fierce From does something about it. I'm level 178 and I'm scared of starting the DLC
Maybe because I was so well prepared? I'm using the Blasphemous Blade and Sacred Relic and I'm tearing through these bitches like the superior human being I am
You have to use the Scadutree blessing to have better stats. PC people probably didn't understand that
From games are not difficult. It is the horrible lagy stuttering framerate that makes this game difficult.
They use a name… PCMR.
Most PC gamers use cheat in their games… that is nothing new.
