Is Shadow of the Erdtree Actually TOO HARD? Making Sense of the Mixed Steam Reviews

#eldenring #shadowoftheerdtree #eldenringdlc Is Shadow of the Erdtree Actually TOO HARD? Making Sense of the Mixed Steam Reviews
Today we talk about Shadow of the Erdtree, the new DLC for Elden Ring and why it received a MIXED rating on Steam! Has From Software finally made a game that’s TOO HARD, even for their rabid fan base or is there more to the downvotes it’s receiving?

[@nuh-uhbro765]

It seems most people who think it’s too hard are the same people who call players trash for not ignoring half of the games mechanics. If soloing bosses with your trash build is too hard to be fun than put your pride past you and enjoy the game like a normal person.

[@BasketCase-rr7tx]

Nah, The people complaining about the difficulty are actually From Software fans who knew how insanely tough the previous DLCs for the these games were. They definitely were not expecting it to be easy.

[@phild8022]

It’s not that hard

[@Inflorescensse]

You can get through any fight if you learn it after dozens of attempts or w/e. This is not true with any competitive multiplayer game. Even WoW. Let alone say Tarkov

[@brianwayneevans4136]

Not too hard, just too boring.

[@snoodge27]

If you think this DLC is too hard, maybe you are bad and gaming is not in your future

" misconception " ... game purpusefully hing stats modifier, status and poise buildup, and making the environment confusing for no reason: * HOW COULD THIS BE? WHAT A MISTERY THIS IS. "

Please stop calling them. Scadoo trees. It's Shadow tree. Good God lol

Ive played every souls game from DS1 with all the dlcs and honestly nothing gave me quite the trouble that Elden Ring did, overall it’s a fantastic expansion but some level and boss design felt overdid. Anyway loved ur vid!

[@GamingRobioto]

No, final boss was not very fun or fair IMO, but I still beat him in under 2 hours, I cruised through the rest of the DLC.

I think the fist evergoal boss you mentioned actually displays what is wrong with the difficulty. Not in cause of the autofire-crossbow, though. Man, you just run sideways and dodge every single arrow. Everyone will get that quickly. The reason he is hard is his complete ignorance to stagger and stance breaking mechanics, if you come with the wrong weapon. I first tried my curved sword blood build on him and the simple reason why he is hard is that he hits you with a true combo in the face that is faster than your single strike attack animation. The moment i brought out my dual wield great stars he was a pancake and it was over.

Radhan is a bit broken without a big shield and a pokey sword, but otherwise, it's really not that bad, especially with a mimic summon.

[@Knights_of_the_Nine]

The answer is no.

[@stephenfannin6482]

Been playing the DLC for awhile and character is 255 with 70 vigor plus talismans and I am struggling still with +7 scudatree blessing, also the map is dreadful in most areas with so many different levels to the map and no great distinction of elevation and giant open areas of levels with hardly any graces, I like the new areas and gameplay but cannot stand the aimless wandering around in areas trying to find the correct path

[@Hour888why269]

To be honest the bosses weren't hard at all I felt like I speed run it without realizing it

[@upperdecker9992]

Loved it. And now...THE MODS

[@gopackgo1412]

Greatest game ever - Super Mario 3 - Dropped the like :)

[@jackkhail7833]

Theres a theory that a fair chunk of negative reviews are from chinese players because they are having trouble getting cheats to work. It's their culture, 'if you can cheat do it'
