It's mid

the roguelike aspect is a fucking lie

they not once advertised it as a roguelike.

So I beat it today with my group of friends. One of them doesn't feel like going again. I kinda regret buying this at $50.

Yeah let's just pretend they didn't try to shill this game with different classes and different builds for every run. Let's also pretend you also dind't read this part that i just wrote

the roguelike aspect

I feel like quitting too if they don't a big patch changing stuff, but i doubt they will do anything other than just releasing DLC and small balance updates

incredible how one single trash fire of a game can kill an entire genre

They indeed only did damage to their brand with this game, i can't see people getting too hyped for Duskblood now with the exception of tendies ofc

the level design is what makes souls games interesting, not the enemies or builds, which is all nightregin is about

Revenant's chapter 7 remembrance cutscene

Jesus christ, what the FUCK
So if I'm understanding things correctly, the daughter was named Chloe Northerncraft, and after she was murdered her doll Daphne came to life, thinking she was Chloe resurrected, but eventually realized she's not, she was always Daphne, given life by the Night.

Also it's funny how the boss you fight is a Royal Revenant, but then I remembered I mastered fighting these fuckers in Elden Ring itself, I had summons, AND the game gave me a Heal incantation. Pathetically easy.

but i doubt they will do anything other than just releasing DLC and small balance updates

They said they were not going to treat it as a live service so all you are getting is paid DLC so enjoy your wasted $40 because you already saw everything planned until the dlc

It's fucking JOEVER

The first time a live service game makes absolute sense and From just pre-emptively abandoned it. This game had so much potential to be the Mario Maker of Souls games with an ever changing map and randomization. But nope. They done fucked it up. But what they did excellent was the characters and how they play.

Bros did I get lucky with this? Is frost good?

You just described every game they made in the past 15 years

Frost works exactly like it does in Elden Ring, it procs a bleedout and reduces the target's defense. You can reset it with fire.

In this game, status effects like freezing and bleeding are nerfed, it's best to go for the main weakness of each boss, the ones that work are the ones that cause poisoning (be careful with the moth and the scorpion, I think it cures them) and putrefaction

Genuinely the most interesting "ending" and shows that they can easily tell spooky stories in a Bloodborne-like setting. The rest are OK.

it's kino

you dont just need to make friends, you need to make 2 friends willing to play soulslop. i've got buddies ready to play painkiller together whenever that comes out but no one is willing to play nightreign because of the reviews

pretty good. the %dmg is nerfed, yes, but -15% resistance is still there.
which means it's around +45% damage for one person for a duration, if no one reset it with fire.

Reminder to spec in accordance to night boss weaknesses. Just beat adel at level 10 with full melee (2 wylder and one exec). It was a disastrous run overall but we all had poison and it made a big difference

I beat the first two bosses but still having a lot of fun. Mainly played Ironeye which seems like easy mode. Now playing with Raider and it's a lot more challenging but also a lot more satisfying to facetank everything with the pummel ability.

Still looking forward to try the other classes. Will be playing this for a good while.

It kinda bugs me how much weaknesses matter in this game. Class identity gets thrown out the window when all 3 platers are running up to Libra and poking him with Vyke's Spear.

I don't know if its mid yet, I am 12 hours in and unable to beat the first boss. Most guides I look at keep recommending me chalices/relics I cant get until i beat the first boss. I already unlocked Duchess and Revnant since I got lucky with pocket watch, and my closest run was with Rev just because the summons can actually tank and when the wolf thing got down to 10% health we all got wiped out in one flame attack.

I am playing with randos, am I just unlucky in the not getting carried aspect?

I don’t know about madness status because ive only killed 4 bosses so far but for adel i just used the relic that gives poison on starting weapon and upgraded that to +2

Augurs relic is way too fucking OP, it needs to get nerfed, it let my team steamroll shit way too easily.

I don't understand why this game was made or who it was made for.

It's a battle-royale asset flip, literally a contractual obligation with Bandai Namco & Tencent ... while the A-team works on Duskbloods, part of the dealings with Nintendo, another huge player in Japan.

Do you nigger really don't see corpo needs to make some deals so that they're able to continue? "Fortnite: Tarnished Edition" is just politics, but play it if you find it fun.

I'm just waiting they pick up 'Sekiro' again ... doesn't even need a full game, just an expansion on the Sculptor & Tomoe would be enough :)

Not even mid, this game completely missed the mark and I say this after beating 2 nightlords and engaged enough to understand the game. Roguelikes are 100x worse than Roguelites. The game is very samey, the loot system is trash, the ledge jumping is garbage. The boss music is the worst soundtrack recycled from Elden Ring (the mini boss theme), the Nightlords you have a 45minute runback to even retry (not even DS1 runbacks were this bad even Demon's Souls). It just missed the mark, I'd forgive it if it was a roguelite and it had more progression than some halfassed relics. I doubt its going to improve, FROM will likely abandon this game and write it off as a dud.

How did they manage to make 98% of the relics so trash? It's an interesting gameplay aspect but holy shit.

First night boss appears

It's fucking Smelter Demon

He has a third phase where he uses both fire and magic flames, combining red and blue Smelter forms at once

youtube.com/watch?v=u6IETf-vuxA

I clapped. Ishazaki, you did the thing.

One of the biggest things to keep in mind is the boss weaknesses. The dog is really weak to holy. And not just in that it does extra damage but that it staggers the shit out of him and can fuck up his split phase if you hit each dog with enough holy damage. It's much easier if everybody has a holy weapon for him. And this should be obvious to most people doing it because the description of the boss specifically mentions using holy damage.

The rest of it is just learning how to route out what you're doing on the map. Generally there's a few things you want to pick up

churches for extra flasks

mines for smithing stones

formidable foes for upgrades

go for camps/ruins with the element the boss is weak to

prioritize evergaols if you have stonesword keys (which you can usually get from the big ruined buildings)

follow the scarab chime if you can hear it because they drop talismans

So you need to quickly plot out what you're doing and have your team come with you, basically. You'll usually want to clear stuff along the way to where you're going, because Runes are Runes and bosses will always drop SOMETHING, at least. There's other systems that will come up later for you to take advantage of, like Raids and Shifting Earth, but they just gives other options.

You need to look for Holy weapons and spells. And the game is cheeky about this by NOT putting the target Nightlord's weakness in outposts in the map. You're gonna have to go looking for them, or kill strong field bosses/Evergaol bosses and hope you get lucky.

I finally beat the dog by getting to level 15 and using holy weapons. Try clearing most of the castle on day 2.

I don't mind it. It means none of them are really going to be an insane always take sort of thing. Even the Augur one, while good, doesn't feel mandatory.
It gives more freedom in what to take.

I don't mind it. It means none of them are really going to be an insane always take sort of thing.

What sense does this make? Then implement such a mechanic in the first place? FFS, if the loot in PoE2 feels like garbage, the fanbase will lit a fire under GGG's ass.

I keep being surprised by how much shit FromSoft gets away with.

I still don't understand what the point of it is other than a repackaged sale of assets to tide FROM over just in case the Switch game is a flop.
I've fought 85% of these bosses before and have played this combat system in five different games now.
What's the point?

*Then why

If you play games purely like a treadmill you are doing it wrong.

So you can take what you want?
Just consider it all a bonus?
Stop trying a "build" and manage what you get instead?
Drops and what you take as rewards matter a ton more than the shit you get from relics.

I used a Great Hammer on Duchess because it was the only fire weapon I found for the Dragon.
What do you know? It fucking worked great.

Not him but

with different classes and different builds for every run

It's your own fault if you see that as something intrinsic to roguelites and not just like, a fantasy game that you replay often

the roguelite ""aspect""

They didn't advertise it as having a roguelite aspect either

Goddamn you're dumb. Why is it that so many of the complaints about Nightreign just boil down to "I wanted it to be this way/I expected it to be this way despite what's explicitly advertised to be, and it's the game fault that it didn't meet my unfounded expectations"

I'm happy they've done something with the roll slop formula rather than just make the bosses more and more schizophrenic.
Bloodborne 2 could possibly be interesting with all the random shit they seem to have in there too.

I've played DeS DS1 DS2 DS3 BB ER and Armored Core and enjoyed most of them, some even for 500 to 1000 hours per game, but Elden Ring was my rollslop breaking point. Open world was a mistake, I have a character with 160+ hours where I just reached the mountain top of giants because I actually wanted to systematically clear everything on the map (which also overlevels you to a point where any challenge is removed from encounters).

I skipped the dlc and will skip this just because the bitter aftertaste of ER is still so strong even after years of not playing, I really think fromsoft need some magic to make their next big thing feel fresh.

I pirated ER and played it a bit but I just can't into open worlds either. I'm enjoying Nightreign, but I'm sure I'd enjoy it a lot less if I already knew who all these bosses were.

The point is to cash-in on the good will of a captured fanbase that will unconditionally eat up everything you serve them. The rating on Steam is going up, and pretty much everywhere I checked people are defending and cheering for Nightreign's success.

This game is what Metal Gear Survive was to the Metal Gear series (maybe even worse) except most of the fanbase unironically loves it. It's mind-warping how such a blatant cashgrab with rushed and underbaked mechanics have people (as you see itt) treating it as thoughtful and deep. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch 2 sold significantly more systems mainly because of Duskbloods. FromSoft's fanbase really went that far into the deep end.

pretty much
it's okay for a couple of hours but that's it
also the fortnite/pubg zoomerisms are shit

there is no progression

you progressed from starting the game to finishing it, what were you expecting?

Good with the Caligo relic
Bleed is OP especially if all 3 runs bleed
Early game it melts everything and you can rape some nightlords if you all have bleed

It's been more than a decade, but I still remembered his moveset. Fantastic feeling fight

Definitely my biggest criticism of the game. The Rougelike elements of it offer so little actual gameplay change or enhancement that the best gems are a tiny improvement.

I've been using a shield on Ironeye. Bosses randomly aggro me because of how much dps I put out and it helped me live quite a lot of times. There is not a single guide that advises you to carry a shield and it's baffling me why. You don't need to two hand your bow so why the fuck not.

Also all shields block 100% of the dmg. Even the small ones. Yeah you lose all your stam and get staggered if a boss hit you, but rather that than 40% of my health.

Ah, I still remember when people shat on DS2 because they hated that boss and From even had the audacity to reuse him for one of the DLCs. How the times have changed.

So how long until someone is able to mod the nightreign bosses into Elden Ring to help fix the boss repeats problem.

It's because Smelter came at the end of two gauntlets in DS2, the runback was awful. Always liked the boss itself. Also, Blue Smelter delayed his attacks, so he fits right into Elden Ring.

this game was designed to be played like a treadmill
if you didn't clear all 8 bosses by day 2 of release you are considered a below average performance gamer

For fun, my dude. Ishazaki asked Miyazaki "Hey can we make a game with the Elden Ring assets?" and Miyazaki was like "Yeah sure sounds good, I've been meaning to train some new blood too so this is perfect".

It strikes me at a game that no one play or talk about after 1-2 weeks
Its more like an event than a full game release.
3 months from now people will just look back like "oh yeah, that happened"

Best boss fights, playing it with other reminds me of WC3 map Impossible Bosses.

would be easy to get into if we knew a roadmap of some sorts.
like new biomes and bosses? add more weapons?

For fun, my dude. Ishazaki asked Miyazaki "Hey can we make a game with the Elden Ring assets?" and Miyazaki was like "Yeah sure sounds good, I've been meaning to train some new blood too so this is perfect".

You wouldn't believe how many times I have had to explain this to anons here, even though it has been known for months that this was the entire point. I've come to realize that barely anyone ever listens as to why things are going in a certain direction, even when they're been communicated publicly by the developers themselves.

How the fuck did you get 3 Vyke's? I did 4 fucking Libra runs tonight and didn't see a single one.

even elemental damage?

maintenance

lmao
I bought it, played ONE ROUND, and then said I'd come back after dinner to play some more. What a joke.

The frenzy event gives you frenzy gear if you clear it

Hilarious foot in the mouth moment.

and Miyazaki was like "Yeah sure sounds good, I've been meaning to train some new blood too so this is perfect"

So FromSoft refuses to meaningfully spend resources in a worthwhile project despite their continued growth and success, and you're willing to foot the bill. Sucker.

That wasn't the 'own' you think that was, retard. Do you realize how bad that actually fucking sounds if you just step outside of the cult for one second? You From drones essentially admit that NR is in fact a fucking low effort cash grab and act like everyone else who didn't buy into the scam is a foolish unbeliever. You idiots are out of your minds.

Not elemental, but if they introduce new gear, some things from older games might be able to

alright guys I bought the 35000 skin for recluse
surely randoms will listen to me more now?

and you're willing to foot the bill. Sucker.

I bought a game that looked fun, and guess what? It's fun. Video games are entertainment, retard. This is not a Fromsoftware shareholder meeting.

You From drones essentially admit that NR is in fact a fucking low effort cash grab and act like everyone else who didn't buy into the scam is a foolish unbeliever.

You sound like an incredibly jaded faggot whose dopamine receptors are burned out. I'm sorry you forgot how to have fun, but I can't relate.

Your armchair psychology misses the mark. Nightreign is just a massive pile of shit that I refuse to buy into, and will continue to call it out as such just like I normally would if it came from any other greedy publisher.

At least have the decency to admit NR is just a guilty pleasure of yours. Dying on this hill won't do you any favors.

Nightreign is just a massive pile of shit that I refuse to buy into

Sounds like you're the one missing the mark here.

Can my PC run elden ring when i can run tekken 8 at slight higher then minimum?

the silent majority is enjoying the game and their reviews are in now

pic

Oh, but I did. Thought it was a complete mess, saw too many red flags and then refunded it. It's not like I was unfamiliar with it either. NR plays out almost exactly like ER. It's really not that deep.

your pc can run this game. ironically it runs worse than elden ring itself does

NR plays out almost exactly like ER.

And that's why I like it. I imagine you complained about Shadow of the Erdtree too for being more Elden Ring and not something new.
The game is fun.

I thought elden ring has higher requirements?

It's the same reason why From tends to make most weapons and spells undertuned - they suck at anything resembling balancing, so they'd rather kill any sense of progression and discovery than accidentally give you a way to trivialize the game's challenge.

If they're writing reviews they aren't silent.

I thought ER as a whole was massively bloated, and the DLC wasn't far off from the same issues that plagued the base game. Your assumption was half-correct this time.

The game is fun

Are you holding your knees and rocking back and forth as you chant this line? I got you the first time. This is what a "guilty pleasure" usually entails. Now be free to enjoy your new favorite FOTM slop, anon. See you again when Duskbloods releases.

I thought ER as a whole was massively bloated

Every From game is

I'm having more fun when I'm playing with others. But I'm forcing myself to play as much solo as I can before they super buff playing solo in this week's patch.

This is what a "guilty pleasure" usually entails.

How hypocritical to admonish me for using a phrase when you keep using this one yourself. There's nothing guilty about it, the game is enjoyable. I don't regret my purchase in the slightest.

The patch is already out, and you need to install it to play with others again.

I'm forcing myself to play as much solo as possible before they make it fun

Anon Babble in a nutshell

die in dark souls

you can pick up your souls

you can die again

pick up your souls

no harm done

you can technically repeat this forever without losing any resources outside of your IRL time

die in nightreign

lose a level

pick up your your souls

die and lose a level

pick up your souls

die and lose a level

you've now lost three levels

Dying is so fucking brutal in Nightreign in comparison. Not necessarily a bad thing but I find it surprising that it's so much more brutal here.
Time is already a much, much more vital resource than it is in Elden Ring or Dark Souls. So the runback to pick up your souls is already pretty much a penalty for dying. And you still run the risk of losing all your dropped souls if you die before you manage to pick them up. Or if the night circle swallows up your souls before you can get to them.
So what's with the need to lower your level?

hypocritical

What?

There's nothing guilty about it, the game is enjoyable. I don't regret my purchase in the slightest.

At this point, I'm not sure if you even know what the word means. Either that, or you're really just an unapologetic fanboy. If you don't understand the inherent issue with buying a low effort cash grab with recycled assets, let alone praising it, then you're beyond any rational discourse.

The patch is already out

Fuck. You're right. It's over. At least I got quite a good number of runs in.

It gets even more brutal than that sometimes. There's an event called the plague and these black mists appear on top of the players and sucks away their levels if they don't get away from them, and they just keep spawning non-stop for a good two minutes. I had a run ruined because I didn't take it seriously and it just sucked away 3 of my levels.

You can only lose your level once outside of a certain event.
And your level isn't "lost" it's converted into souls.

You can only lose your level once outside of a certain event.

Until you pick up your souls. After which you can lose another level again.

And your level isn't "lost" it's converted into souls.

Are you sure?

Until you pick up your souls. After which you can lose another level again.

You have to actually spend those runes. If your level indicator is red you can't lose anymore.

The only exception is that stupid fucking moth.

Are you sure?

Yep
You can go test it yourself if you're not certain. Kill the enemies at the start to get level 2. Die to some street trash, kill the enemy that killed you, level up to level 2 again.

tried to replay ER after playing armored core 6 and I hate every second of it. Uninstall 30 minute later

Just did a solo run and saw a revive item in the night 3 shop. Did that always have a chance of spawning in the shop or did they casualize the game even further in addition to the free revive?

That revive always existed in solo mode. The new revive they added isn't an item, it just happens.

Whatever they did with that update bricked the game. I can't log in.

servers are down, that is why

I got some bloodhound claws with extra bleed

Took 2 hits to proc and although damage has been nerfed, cooldown between procs is way shorter so i was chunking the boss hp bar

Don't tell the others, but my dad work for Nintendo.
He told me that this game is done for 2 main reason
1) Developed quickly & easily as a cash grab.
Obviously.
2) Set up to fail so the audiences will lower their expectations for the next game, and will be easier impressed.
It's just reverse psychology stuffs

Don't tell the others that I told you this secret.

I'm not sure if you even know what the word means.

You literally do not understand the English language. You have concocted some weird bastardization of it in your mind.

If you don't understand the inherent issue with buying a low effort cash grab with recycled assets, let alone praising it, then you're beyond any rational discourse.

There is literally no problem with it. It's not a matter of 'not understanding', you're trying to force a problem where there isn't one.

2) Set up to fail so the audiences will lower their expectations for the next game

wow Ubisoft must be geniuses

yup doesnt help shifting earth barely apears after unlocking( even tho the only good one its the volcano)

miyazaki bitches drones will cope he is there so its good

doll really has no reason to exist in nightreigh she is straight a duskblood character reprogrammed with an autistic hate to kill the night lord like jack garland stranger of chaos

I have a feeling that don't play test their games ALL the way through like an actual player would.

They even said it was done by company newbies so they can preserve their reputation. How cowardly.

they have the liveservice mindset of fixing it with a patch later and resurrect playerbase

Mindless fanboy it is, then. Thanks for clarifying.

cant wait the miyazaki cope after trashblood about " sadly nobody likes tarkov besides corpos"

I sort of understand what they're trying to do with the game and I'm sure the new game will expand on it. Why the fuck would they put it on the switch though? The audience just isn't there.

Nintendo paid miyazaki latest trend idea, elden ring in switch2 gona sell more

Why the fuck would they put it on the switch though?

Because Nintendo is paying them to make a game? Do you think it was From that decided to put Demon's Souls and Bloodborne only on the Playstation?

I'm not even sure why Daphne wants to kill the Nightlord so much when it seemed to be some random asshole that murdered the Notherncraft family.

Mindless reprobate with no clear argument it is, then. Thanks for clarifying.

status effects like freezing and bleeding are nerfed

anon I proc bleed in 3 hits with sekiroman

This is the first Fromsoftware game I refunded.
Rollslop combat is not good enough to make a whole game out of it. It's just good enough to make an adventure game. ER was an adventure. NR is not. Time pressure is cancer. Simply not my cup of tea.

This shit was Ninja Blade-tier slop and FromSoft has legitmately tarnished(LOL) their track record that they've been consistently building since Demon's Souls

Niggas really pay $40 for recycled assets

Dercine nd DS2 exist,

lufenian mindprogram

what a waste of vr when it could be kings field ( that the only way we could have new kings field games without being tainted by soulslop)

You didn't clear the game if you:

played with friends instead of randoms

randoms knew how to play instead of being ass

Neither you nor your teammates were DSP

simple as

Who would DSP main?

Rollslop combat is not good enough to make a whole game out of it.

We have 5 other games proving you wrong.

name them.
I know Sekiro is alright, but what are the others?

it always spawn, god i hate the merchants having the same stash in all the maps and just randomiced shit weapons

Sekiro is a rhythm game. "Parryslop", so to speak.

1. Demon's Souls

2. Dark Souls

3. Dark Souls 2

4. Bloodborne

5. Dark Souls 3

the merchant weapons have saved me a few times when the nightlord's weakness couldn't be found anywhere else

rollslop

take a guess

Best ranking I have seen on Anon Babble so far.

not for me

Most guides I look at keep

You are a disgraced gamer. KYS

Nobody gives a fuck about zanzibart

That's a list, not a ranking.

It's a "the two other randos stay still for a full minute, ignore churches and then decide to fight a Death Rite Bird on day 1 until the zone catches up to them" episode

Ok so you clearly didn't understand my post.
What makes those games great, is the adventure part. The world and how you traverse it.
Remove all that and you're left with pure rollslop. And that's not interesting at all.
My point is NR doesn't have the stuff that made those 5 games great.

people unironically thought from was going to support it with new free content

Bro they got shadows of the turd tree money. They made fucking hundreds of millions off of it. They will never do it for free again

Most people know it is a rebake of elden ring. It is fun with that in mind. It is a pretty fun asset flip.

its a shame the dark souls crossover its rare nightbosses im tired of tree sentinels in vanilla+dlc elden ring they better focus in dork souls maps for dlc

Sorting through weapons and tools to find what synergizes most

Team has run off to the center castle

I really don't want to go there because I don't like fighting the four fucking trolls on the top

But the team is insistent and I'm too underpowered to wing it solo at the moment, so fiiiine

Start to beat up a troll

Team both goes down

They start pinging like mad (how?)

Realize they're at the bottom of the castle, they must've been fighting Banished Knights

Jump down, they die

They died further down from the Banished Knights, where the fuck were they?

Find the room they died in and returned to, they were fighting Elemer in the basement

Didn't even know a boss spawned down there

Kill him

We later wind up winning the run

All's well that ends well. Elemer is one of those bosses I memorized long ago.

Smelter is such a weak enemy along with DS1's centipede demon. Both are weak af.

What makes those games great, is the adventure part. The world and how you traverse it.

I think the combat is fun, the weapons and their movesets and the timing for dodging, elemental infusions and leveling and damage types, all that's pretty cool. And combat and bosses are notable and renown, just as much as the exploration and world is. So I think your point of view is narrowminded and foolish. If the Dark Souls series had King's Field combat it would be much less popular.

Man you really feel the pain of ballista/cannon reloads in this one

Yeah, that's why he's a night 1 boss. But it was still fun to see him again. Gaping Dragon is still piss easy, but you can cut off his tail for a few weapon drops and now he shits max HP-dropping slime everywhere.

Because these people are septenaries that started playing FS games with ER, and likely never played any other FS game.They are devoid of any intellectual capability to understand what made these games special and popular in the first place. They are merely soulless golems that get hyped about anything as long as their favourite streamers talk about it. They don’t have any cognitive abilities to form any authentic thoughts. They just latch onto what’s deemed to be cool and hip as the flavour of the month gradually fades away from their tongues and then the cycle repeats itself.

no clear argument

You're exposing yourself as a drooling retard with each reply. My argument all along was that NR is a low effort cash grab, and your zealot defense of those faults which have always has always been looked down upon and one of the lowest standards a game studio can succumb to, proves you're too much of an uncritical cock slurper.

You are one of many fanboys who have shown you'll defend FromSoft until the ends of the Earth and happily consume all the shit they put out no matter what.

I couldn't possibly make it any more clear than that, but as I expected, you are beyond any rational discourse.

so bad even jannies are deleting threads about the flop

holy fuck imagine being a fromslave without pay

The audience just isn't there.

The fuck are you talking about? Everyone has a Switch.

Anon Babble still refuses to accept the truth.

My argument all along was that NR is a low effort cash grab

This is you throwing a tantrum to the answer to your question of "what's the point" being "for fun". You didn't like the answer because it's outside your worldview, and now you are butthurt and crying. I'm not gonna bother reading the rest of your post, it's likely just more asstears.

my bing bing wahoo echo chamber is everyone

I mean, I did see several From drones attacking Steam reviews that had comments enabled acting like children, but that doesn't totally explain the people who have been playing Souls games from the start that were shitting themselves over this game and hyped like it was an actual full title.

Follow the swarms and you'll find a ghost bug, if you kill it you get the souls you lost back plus another like 20k souls. I think you also get a passive from it but I don't remember.

I doubt the souls audience is excited to play PvP on a handheld.

Basado

Sounds to me like you're trying to project what you like about the game onto other people and are getting mad when they're not thinking the same way you are and are liking it for different reasons that you don't like, or don't understand.

The Switch is the English of videogames. Everyone speaks English as a second language, and everyone has a Switch as a second console.

Game on PC? You've got a Switch too.
Game on PS5? You've also got a Switch.
etc

Market metrics are very clear about this.

throwing a tantrum

It's literally calling out a mediocre product for what it is. Are you stupid?

I'm not gonna bother reading the rest of your post, it's likely just more asstears

You can stop pretending you're the one calm and collected. The moment you say shit like this you're just embarrassing yourself.

I wish this game had more "rolling calls down lightning" effects and less "2% damage on a rainy day"

It's literally calling out a mediocre product for what it is.

And I'm calling out a pretty good product for what it is. It doesn't pretend to be anything it's not, and your qualifications for a "mediocre product" are entirely arbitrary and unimportant.

You can stop pretending you're the one calm and collected.

This is the part where I stop reading your posts. If you want me to read them fully, try to not be so butthurt!

Not him but you are such a retarded cretin it’s a shame that you are allowed to take advantage of the conveniences of the modern world

I hope you're on their payroll, because this is just getting sad.

No argument

Not even a post of any substance

Get back to me when you've got something worth saying.

Looks like I was correct. Good to know.

Does Nightreign make any attempt to tie itself to Elden Ring, narrative or lorewise? Was there any effort to legitimize itself?

I wasn't even the same anon as . I'm just noticing your pathetic behavior.

They are deleting it because it's a coordinated shazamcord raid just like the ones that happened during Elden Ring's initial release and the DLC's

It was already said ages ago that this game is a spinoff and has no lore relation to Elden ring.

It's an alternate timeline, taking place far in the future after the Shattering. The war caused a rift to open in the Lands Between, and out popped the Night Lord, an unfathomable being that sought to drown out the very history in his destructive, time-spanning rain. Now only the Limgrave equivalent, Limveld, is left, and you and some others have holed up at the Roundtable Hold to make expeditions to Limveld to pillage it for power before taking on, and hopefully killing, the Nightlord.

You and your team have two days to plunder as much as you can before fighting the Nightlord on the third day. Elden Ring and Dark Souls bosses will appear in the overworld, at opened Evergaols, in forts, and at each night. Morgott in particular is VERY mad at the Nightfarers, even though they're trying to save what's left of the Lands Between. He can invade the team and constantly harass one player, regardless of how far they run, teleporting to them until either them or he is killed.

couldn't even do the bare minimum to link the games

Zero effort. Seems to be a pattern with FROM now.

No but they will go out of their way to hump your body any time you get knocked down and will shower you in starlight shards (instead of getting a fucking elemental weapon which would trivialize FP management.)

Anyway Dawn recluse > darkness recluse.

letting another anon live in your head rent free

you know youre only helping his case right?

That's literally the plot for Metal Gear Survive.

And I'm calling out a pretty good product for what it is.

I don't care for your definition of "good" if you consider, again, a low effort cash grab something that other game studios should aspire to produce and that more consumers should encourage the industry to shit out.

It's not arbitrary, just stop with the recycling of assets as a hugely successful game studio. FromSoft should have more than enough resources to finally produce something original. Instead, they seem to be getting worse on that front. Of course, it may seem "unimportant" to you because you lack any critical thinking skills to see shit for what it is.

This is the part where I stop reading your posts. If you want me to read them fully, try to not be so butthurt!

You think you're the one doing me a favour by stopping shitting your diapers over criticism about your new favorite toy. No, anon, by all means, don't read my posts and continue acting like a clown for the whole class.

The difference being that Metal Gear is not a series known for twisting timelines while Fromsoft games are.

Stop dying then. You really shouldn't be dying in the overworld phase.

I don't care for your definition of "good" if you consider, again, a low effort cash grab

Damn, not even a full sentence before you lost me this time. Try frontloading your arguments with substance instead of using buzzwords. Better luck next post!

I can't believe people are eating this shit up. Fromsoft has reached old CDPR status.

uhm, so it's ok when tendies consume whatever slop nintendo releases but not ok when fromsoftware does it?

Unironically yes.

no u

What an insightful rebuttal

Unfortunately, it frequently is nowadays.

Whose idea was it to let Shifting Earth affect matchmaking?

How the fuck are you getting 3 Vyke's Spears

The fact that this pissed off many NPCs says a lot of the current state of Fromsoft. They have declined and regressed tremendously lately

Literal chills when Gaping Dragon appeared!

Literal NPC reaction when re-used asset appeared!

It amusing to see people like you taking pride in their own stupidity and ignorance, just so you can conform to your faulty delusions because you are so afraid to be proven wrong.

I just beat the dogs with my friends. When can I start customizing my characters appearance?

I just beat the dogs with my friends.

you didn't beat the game
try again with randoms

Fromsoft has reached old CDPR status

I think it's waaay fucking worse than that. Probably even worse than Kojima too. A huge portion of the MGS fanbase felt detached from Death Stranding and many fans became disgruntled over the years for the direction he took the story in.

FromSoft cultists on the other hand will literally defend every single thing at this point. The reasons why Souls games were initially authentic (and an opposing force against the generic ideas that plagued mainstream games) no longer apply to that company.

People simply took one piece of the puzzle out (difficulty) and now mindlessly hold it up as being the singular core value that made Souls games great. We have long discarded the need to have good level design or bosses that were oddly unique and meaningful to the story. Combat fags have completely replaced those qualities. Now all FromSoft has to do is to drop a new Artorias scrimblo into an infinite arena and an orchestra and they are ready to ship and sell to millions of sheep.

with friends

Try doing it solo next time you scrub

Arguments with substance, buddy. I know that's hard for you to do but I believe in you, I'm sure even you can do it! Don't give up!

I can't, we pirated it.

le aloof amusement

You're not fooling anyone, retard.

Its not mid, its bad.

The game is a 45 minute loop where 15 are bosses and 30 are "the rest", with the latter being

running around like a headless chicken

killing shit that poses no threat

roll the internal gatcha/slots for a good weapon and other trash with good passives

Its just mind numbingly boring "preparing" in a one map that barely ever changes, so little thought is required. AND, out of those 15 minutes left that i admit, are genuine fun, 10 of them are dedicated to stuff you fought before if you played their catalogue of titles before, making the last 5 minutes the only big, both fun and interesting moments.

Making the math the game is

2/3rds boring prep

2/6ths fun but repeated content

1/6th genuine worth content

Thats less than 12% of actual value from your possibly 40 bucks purchase.

The only other maybe worth part is the nightfarers themselves, if you are very into character stuff as they have neat designs, skills and stories (if you like From storytelling of course), otherwise this is very much not worth playing.

No need to even use any arguments since the shortcomings of this game speaks for itself. Too bad you are so low IQ to get entertained by anything

Did you play it?

discord troon raid

Every time. Stay strong Frombros. Trust Fromsoft.

Hi tourist

Millicent and Lady Maria skins for Duchess when?

The fuck, just loaded in for gaping jaw and It's the same map? They couldn't off-section another part of the fucking ER map to reuse for this shit?

Holy mother of reddit

It's funny that this could've been a rather fun non-numbered Final Fantasy entry with either different FF jobs or FF MCs to pick up.

The reasons why Souls games were initially authentic (and an opposing force against the generic ideas that plagued mainstream games) no longer apply to that company.

wtf are you talking about retard

We have long discarded the need to have good level design or bosses that were oddly unique and meaningful to the story.

every dark souls game has havel the rock, dragonslayer ornstein, dragons, the moonlight greatsword, and basilisks
youre like fifteen years too late to complain about asset reuse

that math

american education

reusing assets is... le bad

seethe cope and mald tendie

This guy is the peak DK. Lmao Being an angsty teen isn’t going to reinforce your rant. Get a life faggot

Yes, like i said, fighting the bosses, even with randos, is fun, the prep part sucks massive balls.

And i like the characters, thats it, 4/10, wouldnt reccomend

No need to even use any arguments

And yet you still feel the need to argue. Grim. You must truly have nothing going on in your life if you can neither enjoy a videogame nor quantify why it doesn't appeal to you.

Need to beat one more boss then you can use murks to buy skins

This guy is the peak DK

wtf does this mean

Lmao Being an angsty teen isn’t going to reinforce your rant.

????????
what in the god damn hell are you talking about?
take your meds, schizo

Its a good game. :)

Yes a literal dogshit doesn’t appeal to me and I don’t want From to go in this direction just because there are retards like you willing to consume anything. What’s so hard to understand, you ignoramus?

nawgm

accuses me of being schizo

while having a mental breakdown like one

every dark souls game has havel the rock, dragonslayer ornstein, dragons, the moonlight greatsword, and basilisks

Yes, why stop now, am I right? Just never improve and keep getting worse and worse with each iteration.

youre like fifteen years too late to complain about asset reuse

I did, and I was there from the beginning.

are you confusing me with someone else?

every Zelda game has Link, Zelda, Triforce, Ganon, Gorons, Moblins etc etc

Reusing them is bad

I played this for 3 hours and have 0 interest in launching the game again. I bought it off of GMG so I can't even refund.

le wtfzomg

Fuck off, you octonary

It would be hard to confuse such a brown faggot with someone else

I can't even refund.

I did, and I was there from the beginning.

So what you're saying is

You've been complaining for fifteen years

Nobody has listened to your complaints

Fromsoft then continued to make extremely popular games that rose them to stardom

So then why would people listen to you now? It's clear your opinion isn't worth squat.

they also never advertised it to be a live service game. by the time most players kill all night lords and done all character quests, they should have near if not over 100 hrs gameplay.
is that not enough?

reoccurring characters is the same as asset reuse

whataboutism

Funny thing too is you seem to think I give a fuck about Shitendo.

good, stay out.

i don't know what that term means

yeah you're schizoing out
take your meds

Takes fucking hours to get a full team. How can it be so dead when it only just came out?

esl

That's the Remembrance queue, which is different than the normal queue. Don't ask me why though.

It's pretty fun but also obviously unfinished

brown faggot

Gtfo

You can tell everyone that says this couldn’t even beat the dog. Kek fucking shitter retard

100 hours

In reality, it’s 15 hours of genuine content and even less if you played ER.

????????????

he still doesn’t get it

Both low IQ and brown. That’s grim.

I know I'm not the only reasonable and sane human being criticizing asset reuse. Companies chasing profits over quality and feedback is unfortunately a very common thing. You will see that happen to something you hold dear too eventually when you grow old enough.

My opinion very much matters to me, it helps me avoid bandwagons and buying trash just because millions of others are happy to do so. FromSoft can grow as much as they like and turn into yet another AAA studio, I'll get to keep my money.

so far I only gotten three of the night lords down in 21hrs of game. damn bro me and the randoms I play must be trash at this. wanna hop on and help me breeze through the rest? I can play on pc as well.

I predict this game will have under 100k in 2 weeks.

CapGAWD!

doesnt help you can even get map with no weaknesses place to loot

Considering how long matchmaking takes it'll probably fall flat even sooner than that.

People criticize Fromsoft for too much asset reuse all the time, the Mountaintops of the Giants are nothing BUT asset reuse. But this game was never pitched as anything new, it's Elden Ring: Arcade Mode. Seeing Elden Ring asserts is to be expected.

And Fromsoft addressed this with the DLC anyway, which was like 90% new stuff. So your complaints are unnecessary.

well cant wait all those solo patches KEK

I don’t think you even grasped my point. Only those 8 bosses are genuine content. Rest is recycled assets from ER/Souls games. Let’s assume you filter out the recycled shit and what you are left with is 15 hours of authentic content.

Remembrance quests need a complete rework, they're so frustrating from every aspect. Can't do my own because it makes the queue take forever. If I drop it and get a match, someone makes me run across the world to fight a boss that is of absolutely no benefit to me.

Can't buy it until July, you think this game has legs? I'm interested in MP and SP.

Are you the kind of person that beats a game once and wonders why anyone would ever replay it after because they already beat it?

The reuse of assets wasnt the most criminal act, it was thinking such a formula with Fortnite shit would be worthy enough spend 40$ dollar on.

you think this game has legs?

The only universe where this game has legs is if it receives monthly content updates, which FROM is absolutely not going to do ever. It was a cashgrab at the expense of goodwill.

So It's basically 40 bucks for 8 bosses and the coop for non-modders who can't into seamless.

Given they sold over two million copies, I'd say their assessment was correct.

Depends on the game. If the game warrants another playthrough then i will. If the game doesn’t have anything else to offer after i am done with it then i will just play something else and maybe play it again years later if the game is good enough.

Yea I feel like the first two bosses is were the most of the time comes from because a lot of random are shitters after that you get much better randoms

when do I unlock the Dark Souls skins? I've already beaten 2 nightlords

I have seven playgthroughs of Elden Ring, all with everything completed. Four of them having completed the DLC too. What do you say to that?

nope

millions of flies could not possibly be wrong

why bother trying anything else, just consume sports games and Cod every year

its bugged randomnes i finished all nightlord but then unlocked after finish some remembrance quests

I’m guessing you have to beat the main boss because I beat 5 so far and only the dawn and darkness skins are unlocked

After you no longer want to play the game

remembrance quests

have to queue for hours to get a party

I’m just start doing these solo

Holy shit, I get it now...

on one hand there is no content in the game after you kill 8 night lords, on the other hand this did not stop autists from replaying elden ring

But they do try other things. They made Arnored Core 6, their first in decades, and knocked it out of the park. They made Sekiro and Bloodborne. And they're making Duskbloods, a new IP. Even this is trying something new for the Souls series.

You really are just complaining to complain.

I swear japs are fucking retarded with how they split up the mission queue

Autist wonders why people replay fun games

Hmm, maybe because they're enjoyable?

fromslop

its more like chasing trends of fartnite and tarkov instead of focus what they re good at or try somehing like vr kings fields, hell if nightreign was more like helldivers 2 it will be better

But they do try other things. They made Arnored Core 6, their first in decades, and knocked it out of the park. They made Sekiro and Bloodborne.

I'm not complaining about those games. I'm complaining about the ones that were slapped together, trend chasing and underbaked in order to make a quick buck, Duskbloods probably included.

Game is programmed to input read when you try to uninstall game so it will bait you back with those skins whenever you clear again a nightlord after trying to uninstall it.
give it a try

Does being in remembrance mode put you in a separate queue or something? I've been trying to do Revenant's since yesterday and can't get into a game.

x.com/_lulgasms/status/1929271716657918236
kek

autistic joy considering that when you already know what you're doing, making your way through locations becomes routine

WAKE ME UP

The average Adel experience.

Routine is boring. Experience is fun. Revisiting old experiences is also fun.

Like i said this game should be perfect as a copypaste of helldivers 2

only one player can have rememberance active in a party, just do it solo since it still counts even if you wipe at night 1

holy shit KEK its just baked places with "invasions" unlocked like the tomb with the spear

those skins are the worst they change cool bird man to a meme sun dude

So what’s the consensus, is it canon to the rest of the story or whatever, or is just a goofy spinoff thing?

This game is fucking great, but polarizing as hell. If you like it you really really like it. If you dont you really really don't.

I could be biased because I'm right at that sweet spot where it takes several tries per boss to beat, but there's a huge collective euphoria with me and my team whenever we succeed. It also helps that in base elden ring I was really into builds and learning moves and animation timing and stuff. It has the feeling monster hunter -used- to have for me before it became piss easy.

Nightreign is on a very difficult tightrope in my opinion where no matter where they slide the game on the difficulty scale they are going to piss people off. I just got lucky that it was on the perfect difficulty setting for me out of the box.

Get yourself 3 friends and git gud together.

My only complaint is that this game definitely would thrive with the live service treatment. More randomization, maps etc would make this game flourish. But right now it's got a bit of that theme park problem going on where once you ride all the rides, it will get old.

witch simp knight fits with the bird if you know how his quest ends

goofy spinoff

Queue are already 10mins long
Game will die fast
Maybe they can fix solo mode

Nice. Based, even.

Lore beards are treating this game like they were treating ds2 10 years ago

Pick up the game yesterday

doing solo expeditions

almost beat first nightlord on first time fighting it

Only getting relics that are shit to mid

Only good relics Im getting have exclusive shit for Duchess, Revenant, or Recluse

Fuck

latest patch buffed relic drops and jar bazaar

Tried solo after patch. Got to night 2

Ancient Dragon

Ah yes, enemy that you fought in base ER by either exclusively spamming ashes of war or spells in a game with no fp.

dragon grea-

Doesn't fucking exist, even if it did there's no way to tell if you gonna get dragon'd

The boss balance is all over the fucking place in this game

most ruins contain weak shit like single perfumer, blood noble, albinauric trio

sleep ruins have giga-runebear surrounded by other rune bears

Similar picture is everythere, even night bosses

Centipede Demon is a free win, doesn't do much damage even if you get hit

Bell hunter does 80-90% on every hit

This game also desperately needs a duo queue.

A triple queue is awkward as hell if you have multiple friends above 3.

1 person solo queue
2 people solo queue
3 people team
4 people makes 1 group of three and 1 solo queue
5 one group of three one solo queue.
6 makes two teams of three.

But if you had duo queue you could do:

1 team of 2
1 solo 1 duo
1 team of 3.
2 teams of 2
1 team of 3 1 team of 2
2 teams of 3
3 teams of 2

Etc. It's awkward to fill teams of 3. And remembrance shenanigans is probably fucking up the queue for people. Also dont forget to go into settings and enable global matchmaking so burgers and yuropeenscan play together.

WAKE ME UP

All other weaknesses are fine, it's just that Libra's is retarded when there is only one Frenzy weapon and one Frenzy shield in the whole game.

It’s fucking awesome game

CANT DUSKBLOODS

not counting the madness skills

intellectual capability to understand what made these games special and popular in the first place

Are you fucking retarded? Elden Ring is heads and shoulders the most popular and "special" game in the series.

Its retarded they didnt put madness grease or madness affinity stat effect at weapons like some mods of elden cringe even thought libra weakness its a trick you change madness bullet hell to a bloodborne beast with damage upgrade

that backfire you

cringe

I hate to already think about what will be in the dlc. But it needs

at least 2 sekiro bosses

at least 1 sekiro skin per character

A nightfarer who is a Cavalry/Lance Knight who's ult involves a charge

A nightfarer who is a sneaky nigger that centers around ailments, maybe a ninja

At least 2 more bosses from each souls game

2-4 sekiro bosses

Armored core mecha dragon secret boss

Suck of Snoy off to get a crumb of bloodborne shit

pick Ironeye

win

it's that easy

meaningfully spend resources in a worthwhile project

For what fromsoft wanted to do, this is a very good outcome. Anon Babble is once again flabbergasted when the company making games their audience wants is once again successful.

more like a monk character and reaper

Monk

Shit you're right, no idea how it slipped my mind.

Reaper user

True. A true edgelord class is needed.

There aren't any frenzy weapon skills, and rolling a frenzy incant on a seal is nigh impossible with how many incants there are.
I know the Frenzy seal always has a Frenzy spell, but I've never seen it drop outside of the Frenzy tower event.

no mention of a another map

This is what it needs more than anything

Elden Ring rode on the shoulders (and assets) of previous games, otherwise it wouldn't even exist, faggot. Just because the fanbase collectively forgot or show disregard for the more unique aspects that set a foundation and greatly contributed to the spot where FromSoft is now, doesn't mean that stops being the case.

You think they could have started their success with forgettable trash like NR? You think this pos is more special than Demon's Souls just because it's already on track to sell more (if it hasn't already)? Grow a brain.

Fpbp

You are brown

otherwise it wouldn't even exist

None of these games would exist without Demon Souls. These are highly iterative games. The fanbase never forgot the Souls trilogy, because otherwise Fromsoft wouldn't be bringing back bosses/armor sets for nostalgia/fan service.

You think this pos is more special than Demon's Souls

Stop seething when you're told that Elden Ring is the most "popular" game in the series. Jesus Christ Anon Babble is full of contrarian retards, what's next, you're going to pretend DS1 was a hidden gem?

Anon Babble is once again flabbergasted when the company making games their audience wants is once again successful

It doesn't matter what this audience think they want anymore, clearly they'll consume whatever is served to them. If FromSoft decided to forego a "classic" Souls game and go the way of live service or an MMO, you'd see millions jump onboard without question.

No idea why it doesn't have a

Gelmir map

Mountaintop map

Leyndell city map

Caelid Map

or dlc mapchunks

A friend bought it for me but I absolutely hate it after playing 1 game and winning with him. I'm trying to convince him to refund my copy since I don't want him to waste money on something I won't play

clearly they'll consume whatever is served to them

Nightreign plays like the games that people want. Everyone wanted more Elden Ring, so Fromsoft served them a cheaper remix of the game.

Genuinely baffling how much seethe is caused by this. Fromsoft knows their audience.

make dogshit post

reply to yourself saying something about the likes of "wow xister you sure made the chuds mad"

why are discordtrannies like this?

We had two madness camps so we had a lot of madness skills

Elden Ring has far more content than Nightreign though, just as a baseline, plus things like some actual character progression and deliberate build making that give it a lot of replayability for the people who are into that.

But elden ring and nightreign run like piss?

Repeating what you want reality to be won't make it true

kek nintendo trannies btfo

Stop being an abrasive moron and accept the loss.

No idea what you're talking about, ER runs at like 120+ FPS at native 4k for me if I turn off the useless RT that doesn't do anything (it's like 60FPS native 4k with that on). Haven't played Nightreign to know how that runs.

Right, and what I'm saying is if this combat was transposed to a live service game or MMO, you'd follow along.

This was exactly my fucking point before. It's no longer about interesting encounters or great level design. There are Souls fans who genuinely believe that what these games mainly boil down to is rollslop, and that's why this fanbase is beyond saving.

you'd follow along.

I haven't even bought the game, dumb dumb. I'm just here laughing at you because you actually thought this game would fail.

There are Souls fans who genuinely believe that what these games mainly boil down to is rollslop

Only DS3. Elden Ring completely squashed the "rollslop."

She is the reason I bought the game.

Only DS3. Elden Ring completely squashed the "rollslop."

You cannot be serious

I'm just here laughing at you because you actually thought this game would fail.

I never said that, retard. You're making up a strawman in your head. I've long seen the writing on the wall when people kept getting excited for another flailing spergfest of a boss fight in a large square or round arena.

Remember when you could make a boss fall off of the arena, cut off a beast's tail, or how they used to tastefully introduce gameplay concepts without generic popup texts? Well, fuck you. We're no longer expanding on interesting interactions or game design. Now here's another bombastic dual sword-wielding Zanzibart for you to poke once or twice for every dozen i-frame dodge rolls. PEAK action gameplay right there!

Only DS3. Elden Ring completely squashed the "rollslop."

Laughably wrong.

Brown

Trying with only random pickups, just to see if I can do it, but my team ALWAYS chokes on the 1st night lord. Jesus christ how many times I gotta fight this god damn puppy. I usually end up taking the lead, creating a path to as many churches I can hit to get my flask charges and always making sure to take a quick trip to the mines to get everyone their purple smithing stone. 9 times out of ten we hit level 10 before the night lord. Why do my team mates go full retard in there? It's not even that difficult when they're all fused, and usually when they're split you can have 1 person kite 2 whilst the other 2 hammer one.

the guy you're arguing with must be very frustrated at how retarded you are, anon

NTA but he's right, in ER the circle button is one of many defensive options and often the worst one, instead of the main one like in DS3 (or in BB), not understanding this just outs you as somebody who has a very superficial view of the mechanics of the game you're trying to analyze.

I like how it took the dlc for people to figure out guard counters are broken

I don't think you two have even played elden ring unironically (or it's just you pretending to be a different poster because you never know)

git gud or kill yourself whatever is easier to you

Save it, you faggots ALWAYS try to make ER sound deeper than it actually is. I played and beat ER, and every other Souls game before that solo. This isn't a fighting game. Hell, it's not even Devil May Cry. There's nothing complex about this fucking combat system.

Another "NTA" here.

Is completely right. The souls series is becoming increasingly more flanderized by focusing on a singular aspect (the simplistic combat) which is leading to all the things which were interesting about the series being ignored.

(You) the player was the nightlord all along

BRAVO MIYAZAKI

Enemies will sandbag is a lot less deep than ER

Seeing fromfags trying so hard to convince themselves that this slop is somewhat good is hilarious

What did you not like about the game

Is this good relic for Guardian?

No it’s horrible, give it to me so I can burn it for murks

Yes

I bought the game, played it for 2 hours, refunded it and now I want to buy it again.
The concept sounds cool, just roaming around the world constantly fighting but then you actually play it and it's awful

RNG is literally the definition of artificial difficulty

That was blatantly apparent with elden ring as a whole

then download pirate game and cheat to fuck around however you want

their first time seeing the boss most likely, game is obviously designed for you to take 2-3 tries until you understand them

wylder shit ending isnt the true ending

Drives me nuts during his split phase when these retards try to DPS rush him. Take your time and stun him with your Holy damage but trying to DPS him down during that phase leads to wipes

I don't think you two have even played elden ring unironically

I have 300 hours in the game and made a couple of shitty YouTube videos about no hitting Morgot, but on

creating a path to as many churches I can hit to get my flask charges and always making sure to take a quick trip to the mines to get everyone their purple smithing stone.

This is why, smithing stones are nice if you can grab them quick but should never be a priority and more than 2 extra flask charges are unnecessary as well
Should focus on getting field bosses for more levels and upgrades instead

The *one* game that needed local split-screen.

there's more than one ending? i got the duchess fading out of existence or something

But that shit comes naturally on the way to the churches. Like I said most of the time we're atleast level 10 all with a purple weapon and sometimes more than 1. I make sure to drop FP and DEF boost items before going in to the night lord door too.

Have the servers just gone down on ps5 for anyone else?

game just finished maintenance, try restarting your rig or something

Honestly, C-team mogs.

Actually likes gameplay, and not walking simulators, climb on anything, no fall damage

Actually likes music that isn't just generic fromslop

Values your time, equip anything, fight anything

I hope they get a chance to make unique games.

Actually likes music

youtu.be/czLYl4fM8yk?t=10

it's less than mid
it's boring

If it's fun, play it some more. Else just move on and do something worthwhile with your time.

every generic fromslop track is just chanting and trumpets
youtube.com/watch?v=I6K13xagORE c-team not even trying when they made this, mogs everything non-bloodborne.

killing a lord permanently makes all the areas harder

Fuck off!

still infinitely worse than any souls game

it's a start. 'Nightreign: Scholar of the Second Sin' will mog every non mainline slop.

The first night lord is the great filter. Get past it and you leave all the shitters and casuals behind, and you start really playing

comparing ER to this slop

I prophesied this you know

just take a nap and the shifting earth goes away.

No Looking Glass Knight that can summon a roster of npc invaders from the franchise

No Remade Bed of Chaos turned into a proper boss

No Demon Princes

No Yhorm turned into a proper boss

No New Variant of Godskin

No Heide Knight skin

No maps or parts of the map that resemble any of the three souls DS games

Erm

Honestly Nightreign is peak. Coop was always the best part of Souls all the way from Demon's Souls onward. Now they've made a game entirely around coop, where the bosses are designed so that you can't easily trivialize them just by adding another player. Difficult bosses in a 3 man crew is all I've ever really wanted. They've even massively improved the matchmaking and netcode so it actually works, most of the time.

Admittedly the pacing is pretty annoying, and I wish there were more communication built in, but I can't really think of a better way to do the pacing and it's to be expected for souls communication.

Wait for DLC

this, there's not even any weapon from sote, if you're gonna reuse assets at least go all in

TRUTH AEONIA

goofy spinoff
its hilarious how DS3 was DS1 references to the max, and the only important DS2 references were

1 incomplete armor set

1 dead npc

a poorly designed dlc level

Imagine the screeching if they add invasions

If they don't add Ornstien and Smough in a content patch or the DLC I'm going to be moderately miffed

Where do I nap? I barely beat that damn dog because I got lucky and found a holy bow.

I want to see what the rain did to Caelid's rot problem.

asset reuse is ok when japan does it

yakuza

souls

pokemon

these would require effort so better reuse Storm/Nameless King and Gaping Dragon instead

I think it's near where the twin maiden husks/poop muncher would be in ER, I saw some beds in the area

this game needs like, 50% more content and it would be goated.

This desu. How are you going to drop an asset flip (arguably a really good asset flip) but only give us SIX (6) returning bosses from old games? All your fucking code and models are right there, just slap them the fuck in and call it a day.

Good to know, thanks. Was worried the game would only get harder with each lord I killed.

It's a good game, just not a good rollslop game

that bad?

I barely beat that damn dog because I got lucky and found a holy bow.

Lucky ass nigger. All I've gotten in my 5 or so runs that deals holy damage are fucking katars or the wraith bell.
There should be a little box you can check to let lets invaders clown car in one at a time and make it so killing them gives good rewards for your run while if you invade and wipe a team you get good relics.
This, but they also need to add

Smough skin for raider

Ornstein executor

Ciaran duchess

Gough Ironeye

That wasn't the 'own' you think that was, retard. Do you realize how bad that actually fucking sounds if you just step outside of the cult for one second? You From drones essentially admit that NR is in fact a fucking low effort cash grab

1. It is being sold less than a full price game.
2. It's literally called Elden Ring in the title, from a game released years ago.

How fucking stupid do you have to be to not get that this IS a side project to experiment with new stuff. I'm under no illusion about what Nightreign is, long before it was even released. I swear you fucktards are just having a massive tantrum over not getting what you want.

deals holy damage

It's not THAT important, you shouldn't be stuck on hotdog for the sake of a holy affinity

It's a 40 dollar game that feels more like an expansion than a standalone title

Now what is the average price for an expansion of this size?

fuck libra

They pretty much admitted that the entire project was used as an opportunity to teach new developers to work with the engine. It's brilliant when you think about it. We know they sold at least 2 million copies AND now have a bunch of intermediate new devs. Literl win/win for them.

People forget fromsoft are japs, they love making wacky spin off games when they've worked on a series for a long time. As long as it's my roll sloppies at its core then I will play the game, and I will have fun.

nah, it's trash

Well with the drag holy staggers it that’s difficult from normal stagger

publicly admitting to getting filtered

embarrassing

I want the desert pyromancer outfit, but for Revenant.

but she got no tits

actually wait wow FUCK the recluse would love that outfit

Soulslop is dead and we're all glad for it

Currently it's pretty shit with random on PS5. Either it's gonna get nerfs so average humans can experience fun or it's gonna get old with the streamer/speedrun fags that eat this shit up and die off.

when did these games start having difficulty equated with quality

at some point From lost the plot and started believing the shit everyone said about Souls, the series and its various successors and one-offs went from "recreating what the feeling of experiencing a western RPG through the lens of someone that couldn't understand the language or even the culture might be like" to this degenerate retard shit where if it's not assraping you it sucks cock and every boss fight gets a big fat circle/rectangle arena to jump across and do big "cinematic" shit in for streamers and people on xitter to pogchamp over

WE KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW

I want the desert pyromancer outfit

I'd rather we get outfits that we never got to wear in previous games, like the Amana Shrine Priestess outfit.

I need more Revenant porn.

Nigga what the fuck is wrong with your math?
You are wrong BOTH with your fractions and percents. Embarrassing.
If nightreign is as bas as you say you should probably switch it for some math games. Nigga counts worse than a middle-schooler.

You can do them solo tho.

Only the ones that don't require you to fight bosses unless you're a god gamer than can beat the game solo with all the classes

well yeah Elden Ring is dogshit, why would you think a DLC would fix it?

here you go

no, duches fading its main ending you have wylder , duchess and ironeye questlines ending after beating final boss ( wylder you need the vanilla respec item equiped)

no

game has been out for 2 days

still haven’t beaten the first boss or passed day 2 yet

I need to kms

good doggy

Out of all the DaS bosses the picked centipede and Gapping.
Not Artorias
Not O&S
Not Manus
Not 4 kings (all fighting at the same time now)

I mean recluse instead of duchess

I meant more that the Nightlord is the Elden Ring player character who chose Ranni ending

They should learn alot from Helldivers 2.

The big guy is really fun to play, why is no one picking him?

no nightlord happened in this game right before player character awoke in that limgrave island

He has a hard time getting people up with his slow weapons options, this game really wants you to play two handed melee stuff or you can never get anyone up if they get downed to full bar

You did get it right?
