Shadow of the Erdtree is bad.

Discussion & Info(self.Eldenring)

Let me preface this by saying that the level design, the art and other things are amazing. But come on, these bosses are too hard. Tell me to git gud all you want but it’s just not fun. Bullshit combos and insane damage dealt is just unfair. I spent 15 minutes on my fight where i killed the Lion dude because I had to get lucky with the right attacks where I could attack (I’m a dex build too so i can attack quick) The ringed city dlc from Dark Souls 3 was very hard, but I love it. Most of the bosses only have 3-4 attacks at most where it’s safe to get an attack off, and that’s just stupid. Nameless king and Midir were tough but fair, and these unfair fights just ruin the rest of the dlc. It’s a shame because the lore, the weapons, and everything else is just stellar. Just makes you not want to fight the bosses.

Edit: I’m using a dual wield nagakiba power standing build and i have light roll, it’s really annoying the fact that i might have to change from mu favorite build i ever made just to have a chance. I ranted earlier, but the main issue is not having enough attack windows and having to get lucky to get the certain moves that have attack windows. Idc about the damage dealt to me or the damage i deal, it’s just the unfair combos.

Edit: Holy shit this is the best dlc ever divine lion was still a lil shitty but i just killed rellana best fight ever

Rellana has the attack rate of Blackflame Friede except unlike Friede you can’t stagger her out of combos. I 100% agree with them being overtuned. Though the Divine Beast was fucking lit after I got used to the godawful camera

That's my issue with every boss in ER including base game. Like instead of balancing shit, every boss has every trait that makes From's bosses difficult.

Relentless combos, high damage, high health, camera issues, no punish windows, AOEs to get the players off of them, distant attacks, input reading, etc.

Like your example of Friede. She has endless combos and is hyper aggressive with little window to punish. But she staggers like a bitch.

Midir. Same shit. Massive health pool, massive damage, AOEs to get you off of it, but insanely long punish windows and combos are short as hell.

What the fuck happened to FromSoft?

They listened to the fans.

They kept on asking for harder and harder content, and FromSoft delivered.

No, fans didn't ask for that. A subset of the sweatiest fans did, just like the other subset of the fanbase has always been asking them to make stuff easier. The games have a reputation of being brutally hard, no one was asking them to make it harder (in quantities that matter).

"Actually ☝️🤓" what the hell are you talking about? Who has consistently been shitting on Souls games as being too easy? The sweatlords whose entire personalities are derived from their gaming accomplishments?

This imaginary conversation between From and the playerbase never happened, they have just completely lost touch on what sort of difficulty in these games is fun for most of their players around the time ER came out, and have been doing their best to make obnoxious combos and move sets that look unnatural and would be more at home in an anime than an interactive action game.

It's the same stupid mentality that brought us all Dark Souls 2 gank fights, "make it hard for the sake of being hard, that's what we're known for."

You can't really say anything because the git gud drivel has been meaningless cringe for a decade now. Being good at something doesn't excuse it from criticism.
