FromSoft need to realize that multiplayer is a very very VERY distinct secondary component to the the Soulsborn style of games. Building an entire game around the concept of multiplayer shows a dangerously lacking understanding of ones customers and the genre.
And they're about to do it twice, Duskblood is multiplayerslop too.
Multiplayer in these games is a fun little distraction, or a way for journos to pretend to clear bosses. That's it.
game without invaders is shite
Not a good look PvEsissies
Has to post a fake Metacritic score to make his point
Don't care, buying Nightreign
It makes even less sense being roguelite. What do most successful rogulites have in common? Fun playing solo. What about the MP roguelites like RoR2? Still fun solo. Sauce: I don't have friends to play RoR2 with.
Not incorrect though...
fake Metacritic score
I'm not gay enough to be OP yet but the score by no means fake. That is a score the game received
b-but some random reviewer game it a 40!
You're as big a mong as OP
Mixed on Steam
shat on by journos
User Score is going to be a slaughter
We can smell your skin.
single player casuals in shambles
single-player games
They're like Diablo 2 where pve and pvp directly interact. This game is just very bad attempt to cash in
no content, barely any assets were used
no super bosses from ER, giga buffed mobs and crazy shit you should expect from such kind of game
few DOGSHIT bosses no one cares about from DS2
Fortnite ADHD timelimit shit instead of Risk of Rain approach that fits more to soul
shit map
no unlockable characters
no game changing loot
Haha, what? You like this shit?
This game is for third worlders. it's not meant for you
Duskblood is multiplayerslop too
True, but it's going to get The Nintendo Defense because it's exclusive to a dead console. Tendies are very experienced at pretending to have fun.
$40 budget title is different from their mainline games
IT'S OVER MILLIONS MUST DIE
they really aren't
demons souls was supposed to be a fully online game but from shit quickly realized that not enough people had online on the ps3 so they swapped to the shitty nexus version with the world tendency
The game has literally two unlockable characters. Though they are pretty quick to unlock.
Every game since Demons Souls has been a multiplayer game with support for single player
because it's exclusive to a dead console
It gets funnier every time you say it
I play every souls game completely offline because I am terrible at pvp. It's that simple.
two unlockable characters
Who?
Duchess and Revenant. They were both shown off prior to release, so if you meant "secret characters" then no (that isn't what you said though). But they are not unlocked at the start. You need to find the pocketwatch for the Duchess and buy some item for the Jar Merchant then beat a little mini solo encounter to unlock the Revenant.
AAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE RED MAN SAMA NOOOOOOOO
JAPANESE NETCODE
JAPANESE MULTIPLAYER

Are either actually bad in Nightreign though?
Shat on by journos
This is actually a funny thing to bring up because last I checked no one has taken journos seriously in like a decade
Multiplayer is the heart of the games. Without PvP they're pure slop it's why sekiro is trash. Elden Rings pvp is also shit compared to the original 3 but any "souls" game without invasions or coordinated pvp is garbage because the PvE is the weakest aspect. No one in history has ever said "Gee I sure wanna beat up this npc that barely fights back has scripted move sets and provides no challenge to my dodge then press R1 game"
Remember that if you play with randoms you're playing with
People that "soloed" ER with mimic tear
Bleed crutchies that shit and piss themselves when they fought a boss that was immune to it
INT shitters that got carried by summons
Shield pokers that literally can't do anything else
Moon veil & corpse plier spammers
90% of the ER playerbase needed crutches to function. Now you're forced to witness their skill
"Journos only matter when I want them too!!!"
The facade is slipping.
I live in Florida and played with a friend in Texas and a friend in NY. It was a flawless connection but we all have good internet and are near one another.
sekiro is trash
Yea it is trash it's a garbage parry simulator with nothing to offer. Expedition33 does it's gimmick better. Nioh 2 does it's setting better with a real combat system. The ONLY thing that makes any fromslop game playable is in fact the multiplayer. PvE is boring but can be fun with friends. Pvp invasions or being invaded ala dried finger makes doing the slog of pve worthwhile
Cunny girls owe me sex
Expedition33
Do not respond
Bros is ER combat really like this? I'm coming from Bloodborne and this sounds really bad.
I don't think this game is made for anyone that posts here frequently. Anon Babble players are all single player or invasion focused. At least the most vocal of us are. I'm gonna wait for it to drop price personally.
I'd be interested in Night Reign if it had more maps/content, but as it is now, it should have been free DLC. It's just a cheap ass experiment they are selling.
The asynchronous multiplayer features are what people like. They like the messages and seeing bloodstains and the occasional white phantom.
It's like how people want to play MMORPGs are single player games. They like knowing other people are there but they don't want to do anything with them.
WAKE ME UP INSIDE
(CAN'T WAKE UP)
See you in the refund thread.
"Do you guys not have friends?" ahh moment
Grr i HATE (popular thing) wait till I post on reddit about how BAD it is(I never played it I'm just seething because I'll never be a woman)
Yea, don't clearly you're too fucking stupid to anyway.
wow no shit? its almost like thats why the game is just an expansion and not full price.
are you sure it is not you who is out of touch?
Yeah.
you realise a bunch of the complaints are the lack of multiplayer configurations (specifically 2 players)
Nightreign is fun and they're charging $40 for it, I don't see the problem. It's basically a standalone expansion pack built around a new game mode.
Overall rating is 77
The 40 comes from some literally who publication.
I think Nightreign isn't good but let's not pretend that "Critical Hits" is respected games outlet. Genuinely, if you search for their names they aren't even on the first page. They're beat out by some guy's tabletop blog, the wikipedia article for the *idea* of a critical hit in games, and a bunch of other junk.
Who gives a shit.
Idk wtf they were thinking with this. 2P is the most common form of multiplayer across all platforms, forever.
"Only the journos I like count!!!"
Is this the natural development of ?
Harman Smith was right
this game is absolutely garbage
attack boss with super weapon, super powerful attack
deal 1/2000 of their healthbar in damage
some bosses take a million years to finish. why did they do this
It's not a matter of like or don't like. It's that you're taking a random outlier and showing it off like it's reflective of the general consensus.
It'd be like if you screenshotted this post where I call Elden Ring a 5/10 and acting like it's reflective of the general opinions regarding Elden Ring. Like the fact that I thought Elden Ring was a boring rehash of the Souls formula and that I'd really like these types of games to fuck off for a few years isn't reflective of anything.
If you can't solo this game you got filtered, sorry.
It is reflective of the general consensus. Half the people who bought this game didn't like. I'll give you that 40 isn't 50, but underselling it by 10% really shouldn't dent your confidence in it as much as it obviously does.
It doesn't really matter though, does it? It's the worst-selling, lowest rated, most hated (so far on Steam at least) soulslop yet, and when Metacritic or Opencritic or whatever the kids use these days opens up for player scoring it's going to get dragged so low into the red it I doubt it'll be anywhere near as balanced as a 40.
Who cares if (You) like it?
The last Elden Ring expansion, Erdtree, sold 3 times as much, was reviewed incredibly positively (94) by both fans and critics and was one of the first DLCs to ever be nominated for GOTY.
I feel like a roguelike could work for the souls series honestly, having a b-team just throw together a bunch of old assets and add a few new ones going dungeon to dungeon and having no control of your build would be neat, basically just binding of isaac but souls.
No clue why they felt the need put every run on a timer given how methodical exploration tends to be.
Don't care either way seeing as SotE put me off souls for a while
literally every roguelike should be on a timer. one of the things that makes necrodancer so much better than most
it also only ever worked because it was so unique, yes you could potentially trivialize the game with a summon, but then you can also get invaded, and you would, and some invaders are crazy good at the game, like you'd have had an easier time by yourself, they had the potential to expand and balance that idea in a beautiful way in a multiplayer focused game, but they just shat out this lazy shite for secondaries that don't give two shits about them and weren't involved propelling them into the stratospheric success they've achieved over the last decade and a half
even nightreign? :^)
Shitstain on the Turdtree is hated by everyone.
Why are FromSlop fans saying that Nightreign is ‘experimental’? I don’t really understand how ripping mechanics from two of the trendiest, most popular genres around (rougelites and battle royales) and retrofitting them over Limgrave with recycled enemies and combat from ER is ‘experimental’. To me it comes across as a low quality cash grab.
BRUH MIYAZAKI-SAMA COOKED FR WITH THIS PEAK FICTION IF YOU HATE ON IT YOU ARE MAIDENLESS + SKILL ISSUE + DONT WANT FROM TO EXPERIMENT
Only thing I'm disliking so far is that remembrance objectives put you in a separate queue than just regular matchmaking.
BRUH MIYAZAKI-SAMA COOKED FR WITH THIS PEAK FICTION IF YOU HATE ON IT YOU ARE MAIDENLESS + SKILL ISSUE + DONT WANT FROM TO EXPERIMENT
LOOK! HE POSTED ANOTHER THREAD! SOMEONE'S GETTING DESPERATE LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
PROBABLY GOT FILTERED WITH THE OTHER 77% OF STEAMBABBIES
It's not 'experimental' because they already confirmed Duskbloods- the next Miyazaki project- is the exact same thing.
This is the future of the company. This is what they want Fromsoft games to be in the future.
Duskbloods- the next Miyazaki project- is the exact same thing.
They are nothing alike
Duskbloods looks like maximum kino too, can't wait for the port
port
Hmmm... this sounds very.... familiar...
People were saying Duskbloods was Tarkov/BR but then I read Miyazaki's actual interview and realized it's basically Dark Souls if instead of the summoning pool being in the background, everyone was just spawned into lordran at once and told to explore and do shit to get money (victory points)
everyone gets their points at the end to some degree, and it seems you'll be able to join co-op covenant to team up or be an epic invader dickwraith and kill people entirely of your own volition, but there's no wrong way to play
also assumedly cool covenants too.
Nobody has ever liked journos.
most of the negative reviews are retards complaining about performance on their 2010 PC
why are thirdies like this? the game works just fine on my machine
I dont get invaded because it feels like you have to work to actually have to go out of your way to have a invasion. That being said I will invade people.
invader joins
wait for him to get close
unplug ethernet cable
LMAO if you want to ruin my experience I'll make you waste your time and laugh at you. Shrimple as.
Who the fuck is still even in love with Souls shit? The formula stale and repetitive.
relax bozo, Fromsoft has said that they aren't going to stop making the kind of games they've made in the past, these are just side titles experimenting with shit.
Most of the negative reviews are complaining about a game reliant on working together having absolutely no way to communicate outside of the world's worst ping system.
Yeah! But no...
We already won with Sekiro, sit down.
I will do nothing, and I will win.
Ohmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Building an entire game around the concept of multiplayer
It's hardly an entire game and should have been sold as a $20 expansion for ER.
What's the pre-order bonus for this? Is it still available if you buy a Humble Deluxe edition key now? I'm trying to find the best discount possible and so far 15% (ie $46 or so) is about the best I've found, but its not evident if it comes with the pre-order bonus or not and/or if there's somewhere better to pick it up cheaper for a Steam key.
