That's the worst part of modern
fromsoft games 
is you have to beat it fast before 
the whiners come in and get the bosses nerfed. Radahn in the base game not nerfed to oblivion 
because shitters couldn't handle the raid mechanic.
Now they can't handle that they need to explore, not rush bosses, never
learn 
boss patterns, and die instantly. How pathetic 
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Fromsoft fans are insane and brainbroken and here is the prime example. The ultimate state of the Radahn "nerf" is a fix to bugged hitboxes that let him hit you from well beyond the visual size of his attacks. Every other nerf got reverted, but to this day hardcore Souls Veterans b-word and complain that Radahn's hitboxes aren't literally malfunctioning in a way that makes him harder.

Radhan was always very obviously intended as a gimmick meme fight, like so many in from games (that lava boss in ds1, that lava level boss in ds1 too, tree in ds3, etc). The nerf was to make it more viable as 1v1 fight.
Edit: i slightly suspect the "nerf" on Radhan was actually a way to bait fools into actually fighting him as a normal boss, i lost count (but it was at least dozens) at how many tards i cooped with in the last few weeks that summoned other players (me) for the fight and (obviously) got 2shot while trying to stab stab roll.
Edit 2: in the Radhan "nerf" from also got rid of the broken icestep (hoarfrost stomp) cheese that melted him in like 3 shots. So, actually harder when everything is factored in.

What was he like before the nerf/how soon after release was that? I think I fought him as a normal boss but didn't have any trouble so I assume I did it after the nerf
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Depends on how you fought him. If in the intended meme way (summon npcs, get on horse, keep summoning npcs when they die, never engage Radhan, get out of the way when he meteors at half health, repeat), then it should be about the same difficulty now as on launch (very easy). If you went at him directly, on release he was the hardest boss after malenia, probably would one shot everyone under rl50. At rl60 and above, he was always very manageable, and pretty easy above that. Also, there was a "cheese" that made him a trivial fight that they got rid of.

I blame Sekiro honestly. It introduced a ton of gimmick-y fights with the shinobi tools. Try doing Headless Ape without Firecrackers and Fire Axe, or really any of the non human bosses without some sort of fire. It's night and day. Blazing Bull and Lady Butterfly are both trivialized by dodge attacks. There is a “right” way to approach bosses and it feels too easy doing it that way.
Was better in Sekiro because it at least felt thematic and intended, and you still had to be pretty darn good. ER not so much.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Sekiro at least made bosses where their attack was properly choreographed and could be dodged.
Take headless ape, i never used firecrackers but his attacks were quite easy to deflect and dodge.
Where Sekiro failed was in player dmg output and failing too show players what they could do. Did blind playthrough and man it was a pain the arse until i checked wiki 2nd there was a way to raise dmg permanently which made the game cakewalk.

I'm glad your stupid little game got nerfed. Frick myazaki for his gay little one shots and input reading. It's time to reel in the tardation. You wanna give enemies five hit combos, AOEs that cover the entire map, and ridiculous closing speed. Fine, but let me move like the bloodborne character.

Shit's ultimately not even hard it's just tedious. Every boss still has guaranteed openings for short swords (lol build diversity), you just have to ignore half the combos because they will flex into longer combos if you try to punish. It's just boring as sin. Melania is the only boss that's truly hard in the basegame because every 30 seconds (hard cooldown lmao) she will launch into a oneshot undodgeable move that can only be countered by distance or being a super mario speedrunner.
Other than that move, piss easy. Just takes for fricking ever and isn't fun.
Also if you use summons, you should never die against any boss.

End game scaling is kinda wonk. Spirit summons is basically easy mode for bosses which means people never git so they get crushed by mobs. But it's perfectly manageable imo. Disclaimer that I haven't played the dlc yet.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
It's manageable in that you don't need to fight mobs in the end-game because there's less to explore for in the barren maps they ran out of time with.
Personally for me the DLC is 7/10, if the base game is 10/10. It's got amazing content in it but the numbers are overtuned to force the borrowed power system down your throat when you first walk in, and I hate shit like that.
If you're on PC you can probably turn that 7/10 into 10/10 with the right quality of life mods, but my girlfriend wanted to watch, so I bought it on console.
Some of the fights are great spectacles, which is why the two options of “play perfectly for five minutes to whittle down the boss” or “play shittily for ten minutes because you need to run away to heal any time you get hit once in a gorgeous 12-hit combo you're gonna get to see five times in a row” doesn't jive.

Git gud among from peepeeriders just means cheesing. I got halfway with Rellana with the new light greatsword, and that was a great fight with a lot of weaving and back-and-forth, but it got tedious playing perfectly for five minutes to whittle the health bar down. I didn't want to lookup where 50 fragments were when I was already +3 and already had to do errands to a) unlock the DLC on the one NG+ file I had on console and b) upgrade the new weapons.
After getting nowhere I just powerstanced her to death with rotten greathammers and it wasn't even close between poise breaks and scarlet rot. Or really that satisfying. If they want big health pools to encourage status/fixed-% strats, that's fine, but any of the million Elden Ring overhaul mods do this better, and it sucks that people stuck on console have to deal with the narrow design vision of those slant-eyed japs.
It's great content for modders and I'm looking forward to buying the DLC again on PC to beat it with low-poise weapons, but it didn't deserve the high praise it got imo

I've been playing these games since Demon's Souls came out and I think I'm done. I hate how normalized it's become to spend upwards of 4 hours on a fricking boss. I miss back when Demon's Souls came out and nobody else bought it. The only thing people seem to care about is how many hours they can spend fighting one single boss. From may as well just make fricking boss rush games from now on.
These games used to be considered good for many reasons, but now people only talk about challenge. It's fricking annoying. I finished the DLC and I don't think these games are for me anymore.
