not buying a switch for phoned in rollslop battle royale 2
>>743369767Enjoy missing out on Bloodborne 2 then
>>743369537Is it only Switch 2?I'm not buying that lol.
>>743369851Yes you are
nice, I'm looking forward to it
>>743369885Why when I already have a switch? If I buy anything it's gonna be a steam deck or some type of knockoff.
>>743370062>If I buy anything it's gonna be a steam deckyou waited too long for that one
>>743369537I better get into the test!
>>743369537It's finally fucking happening
Oh yeah baby
Oh no no no
I’ll try to get in and give it a shot. I usually find soulshit repetitive and tedious, with unnecessary rpg systems, but maybe this structure will work better for me
>>743370575Good. I hate it when I get cucked on a network test and have to watch a bunch of streamer niggers spoil it.
>>743370575heh, nothin personnel
>>743370575Same shit as Elden Ring's closed test, nothing new.
Give it to me straight, how hard will it be to get inI got into the Nightreign one but not the ER one
it is going to be so fucking funny when this game gets like 100k sales
I hope all three of you with a switch 2 have fun.
>>743370741Say it with me now, snoyjeet:FASTESTSELLINGCONSOLEINHISTORY
>>743370731>>743370741lmao, cute lil copers :)
>>743370731>
>>743370692I think it will be easy, there will be way less applications than with ER

>>743370978>>It doesn't matter if it's running on Nintendo's dogshit netcodeit's not a nintendo game thoughwhy would it be using nintendo's netcode
Why the fuck did they make 2 online slop games in a row? Most from soft fans are really only interested in single player focused games. Ys I know the Souls games all had online stuff but they were at their core single player games. This isnt like those games. This is clearly an online focused game and so was that other elden ring spin off last year. If this had been a regualr single player focused game I would have bought a Switch 2 just to play it just like how I got a PS4 for Bloodborne back in the day.
>>743369537>30fps with sever stutter and 720p dockedWhat's the point man.
>>743371063He's a retard lol, Nintendo hasn't even had bad online for a decade.
>>743371063Retards like that don’t know what “netcode” means, they just toss the word around to feign having a point
>>743371189but enough about ps5's performance
This is definitely getting delayed to 2027 isnt it? Middle of July and still no release date.
mario maker 2 multiplayer made me never want to play a online game on a nintendo product ever again.
>>743371213Splatoon 3's online is still abysmal.>peer to peer, no dedicated servers>15 tick>constantly get matched up with JP players on the other side of the world, enjoy that 300ms latencywhich sucks because the game is great but bogged down so hard by the shitty p2p 15 tick
I played the Granblue beta and the servers were solid and smooth (the matchmaking was ass but apparently that was an issue everywhere) so I have faith in this one
>>743371260>no release date>no gameplay footage so far>closed alpha test is under NDAWith GTA taking up the last two months, a delay wouldn't be surprising.
>>743371381>alpha
>>743371310Yeah but that's not the sort of thing these people are implying is the issue. They're acting like it's still the Nintendo WFC on Wii and DS from back in 2011. Splatoon netcode is fine. Could it be more cutting edge with better ticks and dedicated servers? Sure. But I played Splatoon 1 and 2 and it was almost always reliable and high quality.
>>743370619They're forcing you to watch it?
>>743371463my bad, not alpha. my point still stands. this doesnt look like a game actually releasing before November.
>>743369537I might be more interested if every fromsoft game i've ever played not called sekiro or metal wolf chaos XD wasn't trash, and even Sekiro i'm slightly iffy on
>>743371463come on dont nitpick. The point is that its July and we still have no release date. Its not outlandish to assume it will get delayed to early 2027 like a bunch of other games did that were originally coming this year.
>>743371464>Splatoon netcode is fine.I'd argue that 15 tick in 2026 is not fine, but for a childrens' party game it's alright I guess
>>743371310It's scandalous how they did the same thing for three games and never had any pushback from the community. There isn't anything like Splatoon but still that's not an excuse.
>>743369537What are the chance we get a Duskblood overview trailer or a mini direct to learn about the game before this test?I don't want to watch stupid nigger streamer do two jumps and 1 roll then talk for 5min on how groundbreaking it is.
>>743371515Marketing cycles have shrunk. For Nintendo especially, since they publish so many games. The only thing that makes this seem like it might get pushed is Elden Ring getting so many delays
even just ignoring the fact that the exclusive platform is a complete mismatch, i give absolutely zero fucks about froms multiplayer slop gamesNo, nightreign is not a good game.
>>743371497Yes. It will become very very hard to go online in gaming spaces without seeing spoiler trash if they let testers record. It's also unfair because it gives certain players a leg up on learning the game and meta. I hate these unless I get access. >>743371602It's not a serious game so yeah>BUT RANKED MODERanked mode in a kids game. Have some perspective.
>>743369537LEEEEET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
>>743369820This doesn't look anywhere near as good as Bloodborne or even Elden Ring.
>>743371659Pretty high considering there’s nothing to show in August besides Fire Emblem
>>743371602>childrens party gameBazinga!
>>743371710>nightreign is not a good game.Nightreign is very very good. But it's also a blatant asset flip. Duskbloods is going to be as fun as Nightreign is but feature entirely new content.
I stopped playing online games in 2013.
>>743371464Bullshit. First it isn't "fine" and secondly the first year of Splatoon 2 was revolting. Repeatedly disconnecting and punishing you for it. 3 also had a rough start. It stabilized, and made salmon a game mode you can play whenever you want, but you're still on a game with an infrastructure from twenty years in the past. And you have the rotation, something you don't see anywhere else, imposing you to play modes you don't like on maps you don't like. Like pokemon, the more money they get the less efforts they make.
>>743371719>kids game>says the child with no social media self controlel oh el
>>743371925I never had any of those issues in Splatoon 2. >RotationWas always based. Sorry champ. >>743371940Cope.
Marasisters our response?
Are you guys ready for FromSofts first bad game since before Demon's Souls?
>>743371925>rotation is bad!only retards complain about this shit. Every other system has you playing on the same maps over and over again, because the popular ones become completely dominant. And there are 3 ranked queues, so you mode is barely ever a concern
>>743371629>It's scandalous how they did the same thing for three gamesNo point in fixing what isn't broken.Also there were lots of updates and changes between each game even if the core gameplay is the same.
>>743371602>children party gamethat's the paradox, it's looks like an easy going party game. But when you play it it's the same experience as surviving in the trenches during the great war. A game of that brutality would do good to fix the tick rate. It's a game where you get to live or die on a split second decision.
>>743372000what
>>743371629iterative sequels are a good thing when the core game is good, retard
>a souls games in a children's consoleare they stupid?
>>743372000Nigga who the fuck cares about Marathon
>>743372101Yes anon. I know. I played it. I dont care about gay whiny garbage like ticks. I acknowledge them as real and valid. I dont care so long as the game is fun. Whining about tickrate is for scrubs who make excuses.
>>743371310>p2pthen what the fuck are you paying online service for?
I'm not interested if it's too pvp/coop heavy, I just want some good old OG Soulsborne.
>>743372163>game gets worse and worse while the servers of the first game dies/is turned offlolI fucking hate Splatoon 3 maps. Only saving grace like I said is salmon being accessible 24/7.And of course you have apologists shielding the game from terribad decisions. That's how you get forced to play the same salmon map for hours and hours and nothing changes. Because of limpdick fanboys.
>>743372261>Whining about tickrate is for scrubs who make excuses.it's obnoxious being killed due to lag and shitty tick rate
>>743372372It's an extraction game so... it's mostly PVP and co-op
>>743372390>splatoon 3 is worse than the other gameslmao, retards like you always mouth off the loudest
>>743369537>guy in pyjamawho thought that was a good idea to promote?who came up with this shit anyway?
nightreign still rubberbanding me to this day, I literally have negative expectation
>>743372427>If there was better ticks I would have won! Whiny scrub.
>>743372508>leave the multi billion dollar corporation alone, p2p 15 tick in 2026 is perfectly fine!Bootlicker.
>>743372261Sure thing, enjoy your hardcore community of cock suckers ready to defend bigtendo at any given moment and being the only ones left to play after a year. That's why after all you only get in matches with people having 10k hours into the game. The others who had enough of getting killed after taking cover behind a wall and being plundered by Japs who are online 24/7 left. And that's how whenever you have valid critics the only replies you get are "git gud".
>>743372207God I want to facefuck her so bad
>>743372508>>743372465Yep like I said. Even mentioning glaring flaws such as map rotation and SR getting 72 fucking hours or something before moving on to a new map will trigger the fags. I hope Splatoon 4's gonna make it possible to set the game however you want and never force you to play the same map for a full weekend. Because if it doesn't I know the fag crew will be there to defend it, AGAIN.
>>743372207>in a children's consolelollmao even
>>743372803>ignored the issue of non-rotation systems>retard doesn’t even understand the point of Salrmon Runlmao it’s a highscore chasing mode, it’s supposed give you time to push your record. You’re truly brainless. SAD!
>>743372585I'm not defending it. I simply don't care. Game's fun. >The others who had enough of getting killed after taking cover behind a wall and being plundered by Japs who are online 24/7 left.Better tickrate won't save you from a ravenous Jap elite. Taking cover means you fucked up to begin with and started taking fire you couldn't compete with. >>743372558Complain to Nintendo all you want. Just know you look like a big wet whining pussy when you whine about "muh tickp2p" after losing. You lost because you fucking suck. Not because the game lagged a smidge>>743372803Map rotation is based and I hope it never goes away.
Does it still require a NOS for the playttest?, they legit put in the direct vid requires NOS.
>>743370575That's a bit unfortunate. Hopefully they at least have some meaty gameplay videos coming out around then. I'm curious enough to watch a stream but I'm not buying a platform blindly for a battle royale game.
>>743372996Sure thing faggot. And I cannot pick whichever map I want to break the score on because huuuuh...
>>743372486Literally a you problemLet me guess, you play on PC with Chinese Indians and blame fromsoft for it?
>>743369537nice GOTY can't wait.
>it's ok if it's badThis is the shittiest thing about discussing console exclusive games.
>>743373206>PC fatty butthurt he can't afford a switchit's ok you have your shooter slop.
>>743373118It’s not just about map, it’s about weapon loadout, dumbass
>>743369537This shit has me on the verge of buying a Switch 2 just to play this then giving it to my brother who actually plays tendie games after I'm done as a Christmas gift or something
>>743369820>bloodborne 2>it's a fucking tarkov clonegenuinely fuck off,
>>743369537This doesn't make sense. Fromslop released many online games. Why would they need to test online?
Hell yeah, glad I'm not a cuck who will be missing out on this and choose to waist their time bitching about it online.
>rollslop royaleshant be playing
>>743372830>arguments: none>concession: accepted
>>743373416Elden Ring had a network test retard.
The port begging is gonna be off the charts when the reviews come in
>>743373403seethe
>>743373450shall be crying
>>743373416>>743373539didn't bloodborne have one too?
>>743373531So why would they need another one? Did they fire all network managers and delete the netcode?
>>743373542i have a switch 2 and i'm buying the game you fucking dumb faggot, but calling it bloodborne 2 is retarded. >i can't wait for elden ring 2 bros, nightreign is going to be kino!!!
>>743372464>extraction game>ON THE SWITCH
>>743373284Yeah and? First I don't care about games as a service type online with rigid timed events that supposedly give "meaning" to thoughtless npcs who wouldn't play if there wasn't an incentive in the form of indirect online competition, fixed challenges and scoring. Ok. But in general those games are wise enough to additionally have another door you can take to play outside of the range of said event. Not in shittoon. You're being handled less options and yet the worse part isn't having to make your peace with it. It's to deal with giga retards like you who find mousy excuses to make up a reason for things to be the way they are. The most entertaining one I've got was a guy telling me that having an alternate free game mode wouldn't work because it would split the community in two. YEAH SURE, on a game that sold a million trillion copies and has players online at any given time. fuck fanboys, a game could give you explosive diarrhea upon buying it and they'd find an X reason to explain how it's ok.
>>743373496>anon calls the Switch 2 a "children's console" from purely butthurt behavior and utter ignorance of market realityShould I remind which system is the most popular these days, especially in Japan?
>>743373792NTA but Japanese adults are all playing gacha games and not on consoles. You know know this if you're posting Fediel.
>>743373627>I have a SW2 and I'm choosing not to play one of its early premier gamesOk retard. You're not impressing anyone.
>>743373857>schizo anon literally inventing his own fanfiction
>>743373857>gacha slop or ipad gamesgrim state of gaming for japs
>>743373873try rereading my post, pedro.
>>743373710Cute little meltdown! They have what you want. Just use the private battle/job mode, retard. Surely you’re not friendless? Lmao
>>743371063Using Fromsoft's netcode is even worse. They are legendary for having the most unstable multiplayer possible.
I'm still amazed that we're a month away from closed beta testing, and we still have no fucking idea what this game is
>>743373939Look at the Famitsu sales, the best sellers are games like Pokopia and Tomodachi Life. Adult men are playing gachas for anime titties.
>>743374128Miyazaki doesn't give a fuck and just makes video games. If they're good, they do not need an explanation
>>743369537have fun, i'd rather go in blind.
>>743369537This is multiplayer focused, right? What a shame.
>>743373583All Souls games since DS1 have network tests. Even the DS1 remaster.
>>743369537FromSoftware fully owns the IP, I'll play it when they port it to PC later.
>>743372207but enough about Bloodborne
>>743374310Just emulate it
>>743372390>I fucking hate Splatoon 3 maps.I don't. But I loathe Splatoon 2. Thankfully Splatoon 3 was a much needed course correction. Splatoon 1 had the best and most novel maps though.
>>743369537switchchads stay winning
>>743374310Do they? Something like Astral Chain is a nintendo IP.
>>743369537I have to say I don't understand the decision behind these last two fromsoft titles, why are they doing this? Nightreign was a fucking dissapointment to anyone not seeking a mediocre souls-y roguelite to play with their friends and now this game is another multiplayer focused title and its fucking exclusive to the switch? why? aren't they big enough to not give a fuck about exclusivity deals anymore?
>>743369537I love souls games, but my god souls fans are insufferable as fuckk. Is it just me who feels this way?
>>743370978This might actually be the next Shazam spam that is correct. Releasing a From title exclusively for a Nintendo system is a massive mistep, I'd say. Now you can't mod it, and the market is extremely limited. The life expectancy of this entry will be very short.
>>743374534You’re absolutely right, but you’re included too. Fuck you
>>743369537So uh is Nintendo online free? I'd get a Switch 2 for this but I'm not sure I'm willing to pay a sub just for paid fucking Internet there.
>>743374598$20 yearly, like $4 if you’re in a family group
>>743374598It's 15 euros a year, nigger.
I still don't have a reason to get a Switch 2 but if the game has meat on the bones and I can play it single player maybe I'll have a second game to consider (bananza is the other one). If its strictly battle royale, extraction slop I'm out.
>>743374743>>743374754Yikes. Well at least it's not a lot.
>>743374576>The life expectancy of this entry will be very short.The same was true for Mario Tennis Fever and Kirby Air Riders. Absolutely buy Duskbloods day 1 if you're interested in the full experience(or wait for an eventual port to PC).
>>743374743>>743374754>tendies need to pay to play onlinelol
>>743375269Still not going back to PC and its third-rate experience, sorry
>>743375253Tennis Fever was still pretty lively, last I played, which was a few weeks ago, to be fair. Air Riders is pretty empty though. For Duskbloods, it really depends on how many queues there are and how many players per match
>>743372803Map rotation and such was never an issue for warcraft or starcraft. Why would it all of a sudden be an issue now? It's good.
>>743375592>whataboutism>false equivalence tired of lousy gentiles
>>743375909>>whataboutism>>false equivalenceIt worked there, so it works here for the same reasons. Is not whataboutism. And it's not false equivalence, but direct equivalence.
>the registration isn’t up yet Fuck I can’t wait
Can't wait for Duskbloods to inevitably come out on other platforms after the exclusivity deal ends and tendies will go "oh it was always a shit game".
>>743376443Does that happen? I feel like the opposite has, with Playstation and Xbox. Their games launched on PC and many flopped because people realized they weren’t good
>>743376091Didn't and won't magically erase all the points I was discussing but I'm done with pedotoons posters anyway.
>>743376443did that happened with the wonderful 101? cause I still like that game
>>743370845>>743370887>>743373542>>743373539We like Fromsoft now. Just like cyberpunk and Digimon, too.
>>743372207souls games are for children
>>743377163>misuses most basic debate terminology>”d-doesn’t matter, I still won!”>runs away
remember when paying for online for a bad thing? now its fine huh
>>743369537>suicide by friendslopWhat's their endgame?
>>743369537Okay how do I sign up?
>>743377418We don't like Souls now that it's on Switch huh
>>743369537Poor man's PvPvE Bloodborne but it has the lore/story of Dark Soulslop/Elden Ring and not the good Fromsoftware plots.
>>743374310>FromSoftware fully owns the IPdoesn't mean they are allowed to port the game, especially since nintendo funded development
>>743379080Where is the new wave of shitposting against them? I've only seen most hate go away ever since the announcement.
>>743379917Nah. They own everything that would prevent that. The only way Nintendo could lock it down is contractually. Which we'll never know about.
>>743369820>Bloodborne 2It's nothing like Bloodborne at all, you filthy imbecile.
>>743373792>Should I remind which system is the most popular these days, especially in Japan?Wtf does that have to do with whether the entire console's catalog is for babby or not?
>>743373627Picture of your switch 2 with a timestamp please.
>>743373450>AI jeet trying to talk shitlol lmao
>>743369537i don't give a shit you fucking idiot
>>743382817You replied. Sounds like you care a lot.
>>743369537sign ups start on july 22nd. I wonder if they're trying to say you need nintendo online to even sign up or if you need it to play. I'm not going to buy nintendo online for a chance to do the beta but I'll but a month of it if I get in.
>>743382647nice try, glowie.
>>743373792>>743372830>be gacha brown>be immensely retarded
>>743383419Why would they waste invites on people who might not be able to play?
>>743370575can't you just record the screen with your phone?
>>743383782Yes but that'll look like shit and Nintendo might even reserve the right to like nuke your account and DMCA your stream if they catch you.
>>743379917>since nintendo funded developmentThis is true, but I don't think this will prevent a potential port in the future. Time will tell.
>>743379917How did that work for Sony with Death Stranding 2, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, etc? Shit, how did that work for Nintendo with SMTV?
>>743378713Funding Armored Core 7, by any means necessary.
How the fuck are people THIS upset over duskbloods existing on a nintendo platform?
>>743385854Nightreign upset a ton of them [secondaries all desu, multiplayer is part of why Souls has been so long lasting an impactful]
>>743369537Why wont From just make a real game again? Why have they pivoted to only making slop?
>>743385854Exclusives are anti-consumer and From should be ashamed of participating in that practice just because of Nintendo's bribe
>>743386145No exclusivity turns everything to slop over time. You should understand this intuitively by looking at the rest of the industry
>>743385854The hate is from multiple angles.>restricted to a platform that's never had souls games so souls "fans" need a new console>extraction slop so guaranteed to fail>"mishandled" nightreign which was a surprise hit.it's just unfortunate all the way around.
>>743386007Elden DOGSHIT Ring is also slop.Their last real games are Sekiro and Armored Core VI.
>>743372163iterative games should improve with each new release not become progressively worse
>>743386526Nightreign wasn't mishandled at all. They said what it was. You stupid niggers decided to hallucinate that it was a live service GaaS situation. Never was. They always said>Main game>DLC with a couple new Nightfarers and bosses laterAnd that's what you got.
>>743386562You should cringe as fuck trying to be contrarian.
>>743369820BAHAHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHHA
>>743386526The switch did have a souls game though. Thay's like saying the XBox 360 and PC shouldn't have been allowed to have Dark Souls because Demon's Souls didn't come out on them.
Omfg do I buy a Switch 2I've not owned a 'tendo console since the GamecubeI want to play Ducks' Bloodbut if it's just Bloodborne-flavored Nightreign I won't botherNightreign SUXWell it's probably okay to be spoiled on it since it does seem to be BB-flavored NR w/pbp so I can wait and judge by a stream or two if it's any good.
>>743369820If this is bloodborne 2 they should have never made the first one.
>>743387330This is the premier poser×contrarian websiteLeaveImmediately.
>>743387102I put mishandled in quotes specifically to try and get across it's not a failure of promise but a failure to meet potential. To capitalize on nightreign's success required 2 things. Leave 5~10 japs to maintain nightreign.Let Ishizaki make a new game. Not even necessarily nightreign 2, just something.Instead they folded the entire team back into duskbloods development (which again is a guaranteed failure of a game) and Ishizaki is not in charge of a new game for at least the next 4~5 years. Maybe even longer.It's just sad is all.
>>743386007They're in their ligma grindset phase, milking diehard dickriders to fund their next big project
>>743374534>>743374596Agreed, thus, fuck the pair of you. I hate you.
>>743374534Souls fans the kind of stupid bastard to suck on your dick after you shove it up their ass and complain that it's not shitty enough, and that they didn't even to dodge your cumming in their eye, and where's muh tragic reveal phase 2 where you roll the foreskin down to the scrote with rubbish latin chanting in the background
>>743387102stil missing vanilla bosses revamped
>>743386145FROM's best games were exclusive to one platform so I'm not really worried about that.
>>743385917thats why everyone copypasted gangbang pvp assfucking battle netcode, oh wait...
>>743387016>splatoon 3 badRetard!
>>743388849Dark Souls and Sekiro were not exclusive, so then Duckbuds has a coin-flip chance
What if it's not even an extraction game?
>>743369537I just can't pretend to be excited about another Dark Souls asset flip. Wake me up when they make a new game.
>>743392060We already got a description of what the game is like from interviews and can reasonably infer some details based off Nightreign.https://www.ign.com/articles/switch-2-exclusive-the-duskbloods-7-things-we-learned-from-nintendos-interview-with-director-hidetaka-miyazaki>characters like nightreign but with customizable abiliites/roles in-game>remembrances from nightreign repurposed for objectives in matches>random events/map modifiers from nightreign>outcome of the match is determined by points gained from objectives and random events you participate in, not necessarily the last player aliveThe only thing that hasn't explicitly been mentioned is an equipment system like relics from Nightreign. It's not a fucking extraction shooter if there's nothing to extract and you don't find loot you can lose on death. I don't know where this meme came from.
