Please note this article is 100% BS. The DLC currently has a Mostly Positive rating on Steam with 87% of the people leaving a positive review.
The people complaining are mostly about stuff like crashes, bad net code and poor fps. This is not a dlc thing, but a base game thing. The pc port simply has some issues, for most people it’s totally fine. For others it’s unplayable. With the amount of different systems out there, there is always going to be a group of people with issues. I feel like this is a very vocal minority though.
The base dlc is mixed reviews and there are plenty of reviews stating how hard bosses hit and how the scaling seems pointless, so no, the article is not BS.
if at this point in your life you’re still buying From Software games and STILL complaining about bad net code then I don’t know what to tell you…that’s on you my friend (not you OP the people posting reviews complaining) I mean god damn if you’ve played ANY Japanese developed game with online play for the past 20 some odd years and you’re complaining about bad net code…again that’s on you. I don’t think I’ve ever played a Japanese developed game that had good net code, it’s just something they’ve never been able to figure out for whatever reason. Even in fighting games it generally is and always has been garbage.
People absolutely should be mentioning in their reviews of a product that it has bad netcode, or any other positives or negatives they think are worth mentioning. People use reviews to inform their purchases of products. Victim blaming people for certain developers’ inability to produce robust netcode is wild.
thats what me and my friends did and it works wonderfully. The ONLY souls game that has good net code and online play is a blast is the Demon Souls remake and…surprise, surprise, it wasn’t developed by From Software.
Don’t get me wrong I adore From Software. I’ve been buying all their games for decades. But if you’re looking for great online play from them you’re going to be in for some disappointment.

Check again, sitting at mixed reviews at 63% positive.
There’s going to be a lot of people confused because there are actually TWO Shadow of the Erdtree listings.
One is the premium bundle which is at mostly positive and there is the DLC by itself which is mixed.

Oh lol, that explains it
It’s typical click bait from a once, long ago, enjoyable magazine about PC games. Now PCG just outputs game guides and incessantly complains about AI.
There’s actually two listings for the DLC which is confusing but one is mostly positive and the other is mixed.

Or just use seamless coop and don’t worry about it too much. It’s funny when a modder can do a better job than an entire gaming company.
