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.
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.
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.
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.
