Nightreign

play same level over and over and over again with no real end to game

Why?

It's fun

freja without the cliff at the back

or without the spiders that you also have to fight off

you can use a torch to scare them off but that prevents you from using one of your hands

It's the Duke's Dear Freja but without the things that made it interesting in the first place. It's like if you fought Nito without the skeletons, or Centipede Demon without the lava lake.

Looks pretty great hope my gf has time to play

ds2 bros we're so back

>you can use a torch to scare them off but that prevents you from using one of your hands

That was added in Scholar iirc.
Made the fight better.

why is DS2 so iconic

Despite it's troubled development it managed to capture what made Dark Souls 1 so fun. Also, it has pretty cool lore.

Only real problem I'm seeing is that she doesn't use the multiplayer AI that causes her to attack in two directions. Like everything else in ER she gets confused and just attacks whoever is closest.

Content re-use of this magnitude and this blatant should be illegal

why just don't buy it

So can someone please explain to me Nightreign goal?
- You start lvl 1 with 2 co-op players
- You grind and defeat bosses
and after?

I thought it was a Co-op Boss rush + Final battle against other players (3 vs 3) to see who improved their build better.

I've bought every game since Demon's Souls. This is the first From game I'm going to skip

Well, that's embarrassing. You'd think after 15+ years they would have learned how to prevent that.

Oh, wait, I'm sorry. There's probably an inexpressibly convenient LORE explanation for it up on some Youtube channel. Am I right?

The goal is to beat all 8 Nightlords.
Each "hunt" has different Limveld modifiers and night 1 and 2 bosses. Nightlords are essentially the shardbearers of the original game, but after beating them all, there isn't really a goal beyond that like destroying destined death and becoming elden lord or whatever.

looks like its more fun then playing monster hunter wilds so its a day 1 buy lol

shardbearers

Please tell me that's not what they're actually called.

no new moves were added to the boss, it was ported from Dark Souls 2 as is.

Can't fix perfection

That's what they're called in Elden Ring, yeah. All the demigods (except for Messmer) have one.

Thanks for the explanation.
So everytime you fail to win, you restart at lvl 1?
Like the only thing you can buy are skins? Or is it roguelite like Vampire Saviours or League's Swarm mode where you increase your stat the more you play (even if you die).

I think this is really cool and all, but I just dont know if I wanna buy a whole ass game just for the same map and then basically just bosh rush

lmao, I thought Miyahacki was only ripping off Tolkien, but it seems modern trash fantasy authors aren't safe either

because bad-faith contrarians astroturfed 'ds2 was good' until they turned it into an attention seeking cult

You get stones kinda like runes from Bloodborne to augment your character, you get these in failed runs too but you get better ones for successful runs.
There's also sidequests for each character to build out their story. You have to visit certain parts of the map and do... something, I forgot.

Ain't that all Souls games, really? Somewhat generic, often half-finished, full of half-baked concepts, kinda easy, nowhere as deep as other RPGs, somehow astroturfed as the most hardcore thing ever made. DS2 is hardly unique in this respect.

Martin wrote it retard

ds2 was generally regarded as the worst/weakest/whateverbuzzwordiest entry in the fromsoft collection until people realized they can screech that the sky isn't blue and get heaps of attention for it
like i'm giving them now, god damnit

This looks horrible, so this is what multiplayer souls is like on steroids?

Ok cool, so your character will be stronger for each new run.

I hope the media tears them a new one after this and they get 0 awards for this and Dusksharts.

I'm a huge souls fan and I had no idea this was a DS2 boss until I saw other people mention it.
Why? Keep the budget low and give me good gameplay. I don't give a shit about muh assets.

monster hunter but worse

could have said this for every game in this series but now it's more apparent than ever

Nah, don't worry. I think all the Souls games are equally bad, just in different ways.
Still liked them, though.

This made me want to play Milds instead. The gameplay looks like shit.

Why can't they make the dodge a quickstep again like in BB instead of roll? The constant rollspam is the worst looking thing in ER.

I'm not touching this with a 10 ft pole.

It is for some classes and a roll for others.

Game is 90% reused content

Official movie made by A24 announced

FromSoft became another one of them slop makers.

It's really stupid. A sidestep looks so much better.

Any black sheep of a series always gets these captain save a hoe types who try so hard to make the game seem greater than it is

Shiggy diggy

ds2 is unfairly hated though. i won't say it's the best, but the graphical downgrade and difficulty amp did a blemish on its reputation that should have been offput by the actual gameplay, but wasn't because people just repeat memes.

can this be played with only 2 people?

How fast will this garbage die? I give it 2 months.

This is a very unimpressive thread. I can literally see new moves in the video. Another anon stated the fight didn't have the spiders, and not only can you clearly see the little spiders, but even the little spiders have new moves. Furthermore several more posts do nothing but point out the entire franchise is just worthless horrible doodoo that's too easy and that Souls is worseand more simplistic than all the other RPGs/action RPGs.

no
only 1 or 3 people

I might get it if there's solo scaling. If there isn't, fuck off.

lame, I wanted to play with my bro

Hell, under a week potentially

One meme

Dark Souls 2 admittedly does do some things the best out of the games. It's the best for making unique,rewarding and viable builds. It has the best armor fashion. It has the best Large Sword movesets where you don't slam the sword into the ground like a gorilla, and it's the last time the series had the heavy deliberate workingman adventurer combat.

not to be a contrarian but playing the 3 games in a row made me dislike 3 the most because of how much faster paced combat is so i do think 2 is the best one

it has scaling, but it's designed for 3 people so you'll still be fighting the same number of enemies and bosses at the same time

If you wanna fight a shitty boss from dark souls 2 then go fight a shitty boss in dark souls 2 instead of throwing cash at fromsoft for asset flipping. If any other company tried this bullshit then they’d be mocked into oblivion but you’d give From a free pass? Blind consumerism to a disgusting level.

This reminds me, how's the matchmaking?
Like you don't need 2 friends to start an expedition right?

No crossplay

Its DOA

I WILL buy Nightrein because it looks fun and Fromsoft never misses. Cope tranny.

Truly, assets From my last Software
