I'm not usually one for bashing the B-team, but to be honest, if From's B-team hadn't been working with DaSII, then this would just be like PtD, which is more or less just a GotY version. Anyway, you want to know what the problem is. Here you go:

First of all, you can't "not buy it" because everything save for the DLC is a patch, that is free. Oh, and it's mandatory for online play. People generally don't take kindly to being forced into something they don't want. What they don't want is what follows.

The matchmaking needs updates, but the new 6 players per session makes space for Gankfest 4000, which no one but the gankers profit from. Now it seems like it's either first pick, or 4v2 which just enforces ganking, and nothing else. No one is going to summon three phantoms to a boss, when just two phantoms is enough to halve your damage output.

On top of that, I believe DaS could already hold one host, two summons and three invaders, which leads to a potential 3v3 fight. Nice job. In three years, you managed to make your software somehow manage to do less than before. And now it's revolutionary how it can do it again?

And if the pictures aren't just there to make it look cooler, there is a Guardian Dragon as the first enemy of Heide's Tower of Flame, and atleast 17 spiders in the cathederal, which used to house eight, if I remember correctly.

Fighting a giant dragon, instead of a common enemy, on a tiny platform at the start of the only area that gets you anywhere? Or perhaps fighting 17 enemies, when four is enough to constantly stunlock me until I die? Not my idea of a fun time.
