No way or lord and saviour Michael zaki has never given us anything imbalanced or broken people complain about the most pointless things (For some reason i feel like i have to clarify that was sarcastic)
The reason ppl don't like when you call a game "broken" is because they just spent $40 on it, it's a month old, and they don't care about PVP. The game is great on its own.
fromsoft has completely abandoned their philosophy of creating a balanced and equal playing field in favor of spectacle and anime bs spam. its been clear and obvious since the base game released, but in the dlc its become even more obvious, to the point where it is now beginning to leak into the pve aspect of the game as well, with many weapons in the base game now serving utterly no purpose, and many others being outright powercrept by dlc counterparts. seamless is nice, and has better latency, but at the end of the day it will not last, as less and less people will be playing the game, and of those that still are, a vast majority will simply turn them off or use cheats of some kind. my only hope is that fromsoftware will be splitting from bandai namco and become their own publisher, and get back to making the type of games they are known for. its time for them to return to linear handcrafted levels, with every weapon having thought and time put into it. unfortunately, i seriously, highly doubt they will. imo fromsoft is lost, and have gone the way of the sony slop game, the 3rd person cinematic action melee game with the most formulaic, boring, stale, overused videogame mechanics and designs possible. i pray to God fromsoftwares next game is something new and different, a la sekiro or bloodborne. dark souls press dodge to win formula needs to die already. it is beyond stale. and the "addition" of ashes of war have made the game even more stale and less creative, with people simply spamming L2 through the entire game and getting carried by 2 lvl 713s. im still holding out hope that fromsoft will improve and innovate with their next big title, but im losing hope more and more everyday, as elden ring is about as careless and lazy as ive ever seen fromsoftware.
