    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.

        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.

          The regular dlc has over 25k reviews (mixed) and the deluxe is at 700ish (Mostly Positive). I don’t get why someone would base their “facts” on the lower reviewed one.

      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.

      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.

        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.

        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.
