Let’s get the most important caveat out of the way first: If you are hoping to tackle Nightreign entirely solo, and are anything less than a hardcore Elden Ring player that actively seeks out ways to make that already difficult game even more challenging, Nightreign isn’t for you. Yes, there is technically a single-player option, but it is so poorly balanced that I would be shocked if it isn’t patched and adjusted within the first month of release. And this is coming from someone who lives and breathes these types of games.
Elden Ring Nightreign not made for solo
So coming from IGN, it's about as difficult as beating Capra Demon.
NPCs will read this and think:
Oh, wow, the game isn't balanced for solo play, that sounds bad...
The enlightened will read it and think:
This game is going to get a ton of free marketing from content creators doing solo "challenge runs"
the guy who wrote a review is a long time souls vet
Capra demon is the only encounter during which I clench my butthole on Dark Souls replays
Who the fuck has 2 friends who play elden ring and can coordinate a time to play? 1 friend would be hard enough, but 2? What were they thinking??
I can solo it.
there is matchmaking
i think there is a matchmaking system to play with randoms
you need friends to play
Whoag... I can't believe FromSoft is targeting a new audience.
It's beter this way than if it was too ez solo
Reviewer said he won several runs solo but that it wasn't particularly rewarding or worth doing compared to fulls squad runs.
why would anyone buy a game because some random faggot on the internet did a challenge run?
Playing with random souls players
I'd rather slit my penis open than to engage with such brainless scum
spirit ash using journos got filtered
lol
This was a strange choice to me. I get they want to milk elden ring but at least crap out new areas by re-using the map. They took the worst approach and I still had people saying I was retarded for saying this one and the duskbloods are missing the point of what makes these games fun
You underestimate the average retard
i knew it, i knew solo was fucked since all the from previews avoided talking about or showing it. glad i cancelled my preorder.
Coop with randoms is sovl.
vet
C'mon anon all journalist are a bunch of faggots
I’m just waiting for the crossover mod with regular Elden Ring.
Is this gonna be From's first flop?
preorder
Were you afraid the game would sell out, dummy?
I hope so, because then that means they continue on with their last great success, Armored Core
no i was excited for a minute. not anymore. from hates people with no friends now.
Hate to defend FROM but who doesn't.
Not that guy, but its not always a bad thing to pre-order. I bought fantasy life for 45$ and it now goes for 62
Fromsoft makes a game thats fun with friends
Anon Babble has a meltdown
Like pottery.
3 million is pretty decent
They want the screaming black people audience. We live in a retarded age where the suits want to see these things make retarded faces for views
anything a game reviewer has to say about difficulty means nothing
It's a side project with reused literally everything if it sells one copy they'll make a profit.
I'm not buying nightreign but if I did and you get practically forced to play with others due to poor balance I would make it everyone who I got matched withs problem.
I would aggro fucking everything and then run straight at my co-op "buddy" and not help them.
For those who want the real story, the game DOES have solo-scaling, but it requires more map knowledge and planning to win than multiplayer. You can’t just fight that dragon start day 1 as it’ll have a lot of HP and waste your time even if you win.
this guy watched a review and is trying to pass it off as some kind of insider knowledge lol
Do we have gameplay of the Summoner doll yet?
People who like Elden Ring and the other Souls games hate fun. They mistake pain and stress for fun.
I watched this
youtu.be
Still makes OP misleading faggot.
95% of elden ring is easy thoever
SHUT UP IT'S NOT EASY MODE I BEAT THE GAME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Yeah I'd hate to be grouped up with someone you like too
i don't see a problem with this
DS3 was the right balance between fun and challenging, late ER bosses and SotE bosses are just reverse DMC (you wait for the bosses to do their cool combos while you watch like a cuck)
That’s toxic and you would be banned after a few games
When I played Expedition 33 all I could think was how that game felt like Elden Ring if Elden Ring dropped the pretense of not being turn based because it literally is.
you wait for the bosses to do their cool combos while you watch like a cuck
Yeah if you suck. Watch people that know what they're doing fight someone like Messmer. You can constantly get hits in between combos.
DS3 was the right balance between fun and challenging
i agree
too bad about the shit bosses with cutscenes in the middle of their fight
well just mod it baka
its not like the files system will change. mod eboot.bin to ur liking and u got urself a playable game if u cant handle the raw thing solo
When I played final fantasy 8 all I could think was how that game felt like devil may cry if devil may cry dropped the pretense of not being turn based because it literally is.
What if Pontiff but you can't see anything and also there's after effects and the arena is uneven
This dogshit DLC almost won GOTY
goty hasn't mean shit for almost 20 years
If you didn't beat every boss solo, you didn't beat the game.
without counting duos or ganksquads
those shouldn't exits in souls
If you don’t have friends to play it is there matchmaking?
that was the entire network test so yes
pontiff can be either cheesed or punished by so many things that i laugh a myself being so bad and having any toubl ewith him
duo bosses never cover each other weakness and there's always a way to fuck them over. gank squads dunno, because most of these are your typcial duos with rest of the gang waiting for their turn
waiting for their turn
that doesn't happen in Elden ring
i only have 2 vids and didn't turn them to webm so
play your games longer i'm going to get wasted now so no time for your shitposting
Iron Pineapple said it's perfectly soloable for good players, just not that fun to do so since all the main bosses are co-op focused.
Which ones have specific coop mechanics aside from the dogs?
not bosses but side ones summon 20x adds
idk I ain't played it. But two of the bosses he showed: one was a butterfly thing that flew around paired with a giant bug fought on the ground, and another was a guy who cast a big curse that you had to run around and break crystals in the room to stop.
From Soft finally adds a difficulty mode
it's actually a hard mode
No wonder they're not happy.
Unlike Anon Babble, who certainly play videogames.
only real gank i can think of in ER was xpac golden boy simps
and they went easy since i play online expecting to get invaded so bleed uchigatana builds + consumables wiped the floor with them with superior reach and bleeds. Also vet of 120SL ds1 fight clubs
so imo, played souls for way too long at this point have a nice drink
I think I'll go ahead and care about the game itself instead of streamers and marketing.
I'm a big souls fag and even I don't care about this shit. I'm buying a switch 2 just to play that exclusive so you know im retarded.
I trust nothing from a urinalist. Longtime pokemon "vets" guzzle diarrhea year after year, even if this person does have a lot of playtime in the series that means zilch to me.
Yeah thats what the internet tells me so it must be true. All of them, not a single one is different, thats how the world works
Yeah. No solo, no buy-o.
Sorry. Not actually sorry.
co-op mode in a co-op game
YDBTG
The switch exclusive is literally this but Bloodborne.
what really? fuck that then
I guess it's official then, Dark Souls 2 is no longer Fromsoft's worst souls game
It is good to finally be at the point where video games are a dead format. I have nothing left in this world that interests me so now I can finally allow myself to wander off into a desert and die. Thank you God for your grace and mercy and allowing video games to be killed in my lifetime.
it's not the exact same it's PvPvE
Sounds like it was made for me then.
and a journalist. It cancels each other out
I cant wait for more vaatividyaa videos yipeeeee!!!
My group has trouble finding games to play because we frequently have more than 4 people
Just bee yourself :)
I imagine things like loot RNG and which bosses spawn will play a factor too.
So it's even worse.
