Its currently 71% mostly positive.
People just mad because they're trying to speedrun the DLC instead of actually playing it. Their basic one shot glass builds arent working with jump attack spam in the DLC, and people are mad they cant cheese it like that.
Yep. Most reviews I saw were complaining about the difficulty and while I get that to a degree, the game gives you so many tools. I felt like DS3 and 2's DLCs had a much steeper difficulty curve. The ones complaining about performance felt justified though. I'm still getting dropped frames and stutters on a 4090...
Also saw a review complaining that it's overpriced because it can be finished in 4 hours. I think they missed a zero there...
You CAN tecnically finish it in 4 hours if you rush the shit out it it, but by that virtuenyou COULD finish elden ring in 8 hours, so it's still 50% of the base game.
Spoilers for my bootleg sepedrun:

Start, get into torrent, run into the bridge, right, go to the poison zone and to the right to get into the sealed torrent jump thing, jump out of the castle, rellana skipped. Run into the shadow keep, 1 random hippo, rush it completely, smack messmer, run into the left side, ignore every non obligatory boss enemy, run into the sweet pink bulb, smack bulb, burn tiny tree survive the last zone, somehow survive the pvpe encounter with just the mimic and no summon, run into end boss, do boss.I feel like, if you are using a suepr cheesy build like stoneshield and bleed pokestick toy should do bosses fairly easily and you could even gather some scadurtree fragments.
It's still bullshit ofc, because it's hard to do it in 4h without knowing the path.
I have a 1080Ti and am getting like 120fps at max settings 1080p, 21:9 ultrawide. Loaded up with EAC disabled, offline mode, and Flawless Widescreen software. So I can't say I am finding myself having bad performance, its been quite good for me.
Isn't the game locked to 60?
Flawless Widescreen can unlock it.
The base game was almost too easy except for hoarax loux
