yep, it's a cool concept but even after two days of the network test it's already happened - and it'll only be worse on the full launch. it's unironically over for this game - all because of fucking metafags

No weapon swapping (Souls staple)
No two handing (Souls staple)
No dual wielding (unless you have an always dual wield weapon)
No dodge step/rolling attacks (Souls staple)
No backstep attacks (Souls staple)
No crouching attacks (Elden Ring addition)
No trick weapon forms (Bloodborne mechanic)
No trick weapon transformation attacks (Bloodborne mechanic)
No weapon swap attack (Bloodborne mechanic)

90% of your weapon movesets are gutted compared to other souls games. And the constant triple jump and airdash spam feels like you're piloting an Armored Core with two variations of the same style melee weapon on r1/r2 (light/heavy) a shield (L1) a ranged weapon (L2) and a special weapon (Triangle). You can parry with L1 + R2, which makes you roar. Every character can do it, and it's much lamer than using the gun to parry in bloodborne.

Clearly they simplfied it for the switch audience.

The sour grapes vs. sweet lemons/sunk cost divide over this game is going to get even worse. Non-Switch 2 owners are just jealous that they missed out on a new game from a developer who traditionally favors their platforms, whereas Switch 2 owners are going to be incredibly defensive because they desperately want this game to keep being goldface shitpost fuel like Bloodborne was.

It's already happening. People are oddly defensive of this game even elsewhere, which is crazy because network test build got old fast. It felt like Nightreign again where there were only a couple seeds so it got very samey and boring once you tried out all the characters.

Then people that never played it are shitting on it just to shit on it. It was just a fine test, Not great but pretty good, the base is solid enough they just need more stuff to do and really the biggest problem is that it's not enough PvP for PvPers and not enough PvE for PvErs with this map. Ritual sites are too good for PvErs to skip and there's no reason for PvPers to fight otherwise. Having phase 2 and 3 play out exactly the same kinda dumb too

it's a fun game but it's also kinda broken.
first of all, their idea was to make some characters better at pve and others better at pvp, but the reality is that even the characters that are good at pvp but "bad" at pve can easily find a way to completely max out their character by the end of the match. as a result that balancing means nothing. the only way they could fix this would be by not actually having a cap on levels and such, so that pve characters could potentially end up with an advantage that way by the end, but fromsoft does not have this kind of game design prowess.

second issue and this one might just destroy the game is that you can insta kill people with parries, and there is no reason to be the first one to attack, there is no advantage to attacking first. and that'll end up causing a degenerate playstyle where noone will be willing to attack first at the end. there's no other system in place to combat this issue.

cool game on paper but yea. don't think fromsoft is the one to do it. ironically deathverse which died in like 3 months had the combat for a melee PvP game figured out

>>746022776
because you skill vacant niggers are well known for your ability to parry anything
You also cant parry every attack, so itd be easy to force the hand of a parrynigger and kill the faggot once he falls for the feint. I do it all the time in other souls games, no reason you cant do it here either.

>>746020106
Playing the meta IS playing better, because the "meta" is the generally understood way to play a game optimally. This doesn't mean it's the true optimum, it's just the current understanding of it. Not playing the meta in a game and still succeeding would require player skill to be significantly beyond his opponents, because not playing the meta effectively means to willingly play worse because you feel like it. That also means that if you're playing against people at your own level, not playing the meta means you have a lower than expected chance to win, again because not playing the meta means intentionally playing worse.

I agree with you though, if you don't want to play the meta then you can make up for it with sheer skill / game knowledge. Find your own shit and learn how to make it work, even if it's harder to do. Most people aren't going to really do that though, which is why games need to be balanced well such that there isn't much of a "meta" that's way better than anything else. If the meta is oppressive, people are just going to bounce off the game because they're not going to play it in a way they don't enjoy (the meta) but they're also not going to be willing to put in the effort for a game that is poorly designed.

It's Nightreign with 1/4 of the enemy/boss variety, zero weapon varierty and ocasional in level PvP with the ending event being a 1v1v1 that generally favours passive play and snipers.

>>746023410
he WONT play the meta though, because he knows if he does, he has nothing to blame but himself
Also metas shift all the time due to people thinking of counter metas, so, theres no reason why you HAVE to stick to a meta to win, just figure out what works in the meta and where it can be exploited.

The only people with a valid issue with a meta are those skilled enough to actually know why it matters, people like him who lack skill and arent the top of the crop players anyway shouldnt care, as theyre already handicapped by their own talent

I wager theres a matchmaking system that will pair him with other retards too, so in that case metafagging will be a detriment, as its always apparent when someone copy pastes a metabuild with no knowledge or talent to actually use it
>>
>>746023139
Yes, depending on the mode it either ends on a 1v1v1 or a 2v2.

Roguelike games on a fixed map like this need lots of enemy/weapon variety in the spawns to make runs interesting.
Even Nightreign get samey after a while without the "more map and boss variations" mod that basically adds all the bosses from ER into the spawn pool.

>People are oddly defensive of this game even elsewhere, which is crazy because network test build got old fast
Because, next to DK Bananza, this was debatably THE biggest/most surprising exclusive revealed in the initial Switch 2 showcase. And while the quantity of exclusives on offer is undeniable, their collective appeal so far is another story. Since Fire Emblem is a series with limited appeal despite Nintendo's delusions of it being an S-level franchise that can get away with an $80 pricetag and a lot of the exclusive library thus far has leaned into spinoff and/or B-tier territory, Duskbloods is the most interesting game for a lot of people currently and a network test would give people a taste of what's to come soon (when exactly is unknown, but soon), especially with how ridiculously tight-lipped Nintendo has tended to be about future releases this gen. Nothing so far has made the system a MUST HAVE, unlike the likes of BotW, SMO, Splatoon 2, the announcement of Smash Ultimate, etc that the Switch 1 already had by this time. The closest and only such game is Pokopia.

The idea that this game could either be a confused fizzle out of the gate or become a solved sweatfest in mere weeks is a horrible scenario for the Switch 2's exclusive lineup so far, especially for owners on sites like this who are insecure and crave external validation as an essential component of backing the Switch 2. I don't think we're in DEFCON 1 territory for "why the fuck did I buy this thing" for the Switch 2's library yet, but if the full release of Duskbloods does end up fizzling out, it'll push the needle from low DEFCON 2 tier into like medium. High DEFCON 2 if OoT Remake underdelivers.

Multiplayer is fine in itself when it's either just a way to play something with friends you already know, or it allows for distinct communities to be built around dedicated servers. It's the matchmaking gauntlet that makes everything horrible as it removes any sense of community and relationship you can have. Dark Souls makes it slightly more personal but it's still a terrible experience that leans itself towards meta since there is a meta reason to play the dullest and best builds.

The interesting thing about the competitive and PvP elements of Duskbloods, unlike say Nightreign, is that even if there was some "optimal" path, that everyone started following because the path was acknowledged and then shared through guides.
That would ironically enough, make it no longer optimal.

I think Miyazaki said that you will be able to take sigils that lets you invade. He also confirmed "character customization" even in online mode but that could mean anything. Also the senator is based actually and you're wrong.

>>746034963
the character customization will include some skins and maybe slight modifications to the characters' abilities and weapons, like in nightreign. obviously you can't make your dude from scratch like in all the souls games

What happened in PUBG was that everyone would drop on the school because that was the best start and if there were a lot of players there then they would PvP each other for the loot. Duskbloods is a bit different because you're not eliminating the player when you kill them but at the same time there is a cap to the number of people that can be placed in a zone at a time. It auto balances you to other zones if all 8 people pick the Cathedral. So that will still make picking the Cathedral a good option, at most you might have 2 or 3 others there. It just means you're out of luck if you wanted to go to the Cathedral to PvP troll and you auto balanced to the Clock tower or something.

>It just means you're out of luck if you wanted to go to the Cathedral to PvP troll and you auto balanced to the Clock tower or something.
Also, let me put it this way: There are sigils that want you to be close to certain players Jan's and Albert's which gave you a reason to kill other players early on in the beta being excellent examples. Going Cath is your meta pick there because you have the greatest chance of running into the player that you want to kill. Even for the coop sigils, Cath is still potentially the best bet because you will have the most players in that area.

IIRC there was an older interview where he discussed customizing the “blood history and fate” of your character, but in practice he might’ve been referring to the sigil system and potentially elements of how that interacts with specific characters.

This but without the basedjack damage control replies. Fromsoft shoulda stuck with tenchu and armored core only instead of polluting the world with stamina rollslop. Now their BETTER series remain on the eternal backburner for rollslop.

Souls was never hard before someone tries that tired nearly 20 year old damage control. There is no filter, the games are poorly designed.

t.been gaming for nearly 40 years.

>>746035859
>Souls was never hard
The thing that it was comparatively hard because games were getting easier to appeal to the Wii babies. Part of the difficulty was that it tutorialized basically nothing and that the performance was fucking dog shit(15 fps in Blighttown on both PS3 and 360).

It was a hard game for the time it released. Which was an era of actual baby games for the Nintendogs audience and Microsoft trying to push Kinect games.

WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW SAD I WAS TO SEE PIC RELATED.

It's literally just nightreign with some pvp lol..a game that somehow turned fromsoft pve into a boring min max time efficient grind. It's just fucking nightreign like the EXACT SAME thing.

30 fps and poor performance means this potentially beautiful game is locked to this tablet and nintendo has god awful online services.

Will they update the game, sufficiently? Will they balance a pvp focused game? Will they add maps and content? Or is it just going to be like Nightreign where there's one content update for money and that's that.

Exceptions and not the rule, for MonHun the 1st and 2nd gen were on PS2/PSP and the series did get continually get toned down and made easier over time until we ended up with World and then Wilds. The second generation is considered the hardest generation of games, aka the Wii version DID get easier and the 4th gen got harder again post DaS until the difficulty cratered again.

The network test was me giving the game a chance, and it's simply not for me. There's like, three or four cool ideas (or beginnings of ideas) for games here, but (at least in the test) they feel like they're mashed together with little rhyme or reason. If they didn't want to make a Souls or heavily Souls-based game, that's absolutely fine, but then don't fucking make it still noticeably rooted in Souls' conceptual and mechanical conventions. Plus, the network tests already got virtually solved metawise in mere fucking hours and became a massive sweatfest, which is not a good sign for a game that's supposed to be heavily PvP-focused (whereas with regular Souls games you can at least easily tune metasweata shit out). In retrospect, the fact that they glossed over the PvP/PvPvE focus in the reveal and that had to be discovered after the reveal in a sheepishly tucked-away website description should've maybe been a red flag. Just like the Switch 2's game and accessory prices.

Maybe it's something I'll pick up if the retail game gets cheap secondhand AND if I've already renewed my NSO sub for something else. IF I even still have this thing.

As someone that wants to play the PvP, Duskbloods is just not great either. It tries to combine PvE and PvP too much, if I want to PvP then I don't want to have to sit through a bunch of PvE to get there.

I realize the sigils are supposed to help combat that but you still need to run around doing PvE. I know some people might say "Oh you have to do the PvE to PvP in other souls games too" but the difference is that once you do that PvE, you can PvP forever. In Duskbloods you're forced to PvE every time you want to PvP.

There will always be spots that will have SOMETHING at them like the Cathedral or Sewers. You just do your lap around the point of interest and collect the goodies. People will route and optimize true roguelikes like Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup where literally everything is random. It's the same principle as people speedrunning randomizers, the map you travel on does not change. You do the route and see what you find.

It doesn't matter, if it's 1% better it will be the meta choice. You WANT to spawn next to other players if you have sigils too because it makes completing that quest easier. You don't have to be part of the rat race rushing for kills or collectables for Virtue point if you get your quest completion virtue.

I can tell you don't play card games. Everyone net decks because those have the highest win rates and then you have to play around the net decks because they take over the ladder. Even if you queue into casual, odds are it's gonna be a net decker using it to get his dailies done faster.

Even if you don't engage with the meta, you are forced to interact with it. And that means PLAYING AGAINST THE SAME EXACT THING EVERY MATCH. Every character will have the same layouts, the same kin, and it's going to get boring. You can keep crying that it's some sort of skill issue when the reality is that it makes most matches play too similarly and all the rng in the world isn't going to matter when metafags are going to make the release version of the game feel like the network test when it comes to character builds being static. If you're forced to play the same counter meta build every match, your build is also static.

Considering nightreign's frantic gameplay (which is the core of Duskbloods)... I just don't think adding PVP to the formula will feel fun in the long run
Some people already despised Nightreign for what it is. Duskbloods has to be even more niche than that

I keep thinking that even if I love PVP in souls games (I don't), I remind myself that half of the players loading into the match don't even get to participate in the PVP really because they get culled

it's where the pvp peaked for many, everything after has been worse and really not worth engaging in. the levels in 2 being so difficult in comparison to the other games made being the red man very fun and it had the best fight clubs, build variety, etc.

but >>746042092 isn't wrong that soul level also made some others lose interest in pvping (along with the janky hitboxes). so they didn't give a fuck about pvp anymore in 3 and elden ring. 2 is the peak of souls pvp in terms of people actually caring about it.
>>
>>746034471
If you get it for cheap, its pretty good.
Arguably even deeper then duskbloods, since you have to build your character during the match and plan for the final match up.
Rougelike elements makes it so no run is the same.
Teamplay can be ass, especially in the beginning, when nobody knows about any of the mechanics.
Endgame drops with every rank of deep of night, 2 - 3 or the sweet spots.

If you can play it with non retarded frens its very fun and rewarding.

"just replay the same game 10 times bro" no i don't think i will.

I think the only true saving grace is if they lean into more modes. Most pvpve games are memes but duskbloods is only a few tweaks away from having a nightreign mode and I don't see why it shouldn't. Even if its not 8 players and there is no culling they could provide a full on nightreign 3 man coop mode with little work probably. Something tells me they wont though..

I've not played and probably never will due to exclusivity, but surely this will evolve a new meta rather than killing the game outright?

Like, can you kill other players while you are all preparing for the end of match duel? If so, then the "optimal routes" will be highly contested, and from what I've heard so far players mostly avoid each other when preparing, so maybe the meta will evolve to include more optional PVP?

If so, then unless that also gets "solved" (like some item or equipment that can fuck people up during the prep phase), the meta will just change to incorporate impromptu fights before the end of the day?

The problem is that parrying is too good and ranged attacks are too strong and plentiful so melee is probably the worst it's ever been in the grand scheme of things. I agree the combat felt good but it's gonna feel good once people learn how to howl.

If you proc shock or fire, the other person is just dead. Only your melee attacks enable that. Howl is powerful but I think it can be baited and it does leave you vulnerable.

I mean the netcode not the game balance. Don't think I played enough to get a complete sense of balance. I mean that fundamentally this is the first game of theirs where you aren't hitting the air next to someone and doing damage, or having your weapon mysteriously phase through the enemy before they dodge a full second later. Even Armored Core 6 ended up having these problems.

>Half the posters in every duskbloods thread are people who clearly didn't play it claiming that it sucks and/or that it will suck and fail on release
>>
>>746051895
If they howl you when you attempt to proc it, you are also just dead. One shot or get one shot probably isn't a good model for the PvP, then it becomes 2 people playing chicken with their shields up seeing who can bait the other to attack first until a third player swoops in to use ranged attacks or skills from behind one of them and someone dies in the 1v2.

>>746052004
I think they learned a lot from a faster paced game like AC6 and that has carried over. Plus it helps that they removed backstabs so frontstabs no longer exist, those were always used as an example of how janky the netcode was.

It's definately worse when you're forced with 1 weapon per character and the PvE enemy variety is in the dumpster. All your build amounts to getting passives like more melee/range damage, more stagger more HP/Stamina.

Therein lies the problem. Without the constant updates, interest doesn't hold so those games have a shelf life which is bad for a game focused on online multiplayer like Duskbloods.

Anyone that doesn't buy it day 1, can basically miss their window to enjoy the product. It's not evergreen, in fact even a year later it can be a terrible purchase.

Maybe they drip content, maybe they released a complete game and people go nuts for it for a month like all the other fomo and friendship that's currently making bank then never think about it again.

Nah this is cope man. More maps, more characters, balance, all of this shit is just normal in 2026. If the whole fucking game is online and doesn't get regularly updated it has a shelf life. Even if 400 brazilians still play it 4 years later it isn't the same.

"b-but" I played Battlefield and CS growing up. CS had community servers and maps, BF had map packs and shit with updates. Even back then this was the norm and if it wasnt it's because in a year or two halo 2 would come out, or gears of war 2 etc. They either supported it long term or the turn over between games was short enough to warrant little post launch support. I'm a gramps too bud oh and another thing the games with high turn over had substantial non pvp content to support it, gears halo have campaigns. BF the focus was pvp so they had updates and map packs so yes it is a valid concern how much post launch support the game receives.
>>
>>746056459
it was a jab at you saying the server going down in a year after taking the money from the players that gave them money up front and running away with it. it's a very pro corporate view point that goes against what a player would typically want from his games, which is why i made the jab.

wild to see you claim to be for skg despite having a point of view antithetical to it though.
>>
>>746056169
SKG's completely correct and I think every single online game should have their server binaries distributed at end-of-life for free. But the sad truth of it is that even if that happens, that doesn't mean you can ever experience what those games actually were. It should be "playable" for preservation, but I personally do not play games where I can only play in a match full of discord trannies two weekends out of the year.

Brother it is a hypothetical discussion. I do not have insider information that the servers are for sure going down in a year. That post was to combat anons stance that it would be a bad buy a year from now when the game is dead and I was highlighting that you just don't buy dead/dieing things in the first place.
I would advise you not buy Marathon right now.
Would I prefer they develop a single player out? Yes. Do I know if they're going to do that? No. Plus it'd be really gay to replay to anon "lol they'll just make it run offline idiot!" That'd just be stupid to say.

>>746056798
It's objectively not normal. How much Fomo has been released, been successful, and didn't have droves of people bitching and moaning that they somehow regretted their time when the game was alive? Literally zero. All the complaints are from buying the game to play with friends only for the friends to stop playing. Nothing to do with the games content or when you jumped in, but rather, what state your friends were at with the game.
I myself have been burned in such a way but I also had real good times playing among us and lethal company.
Also those games are still getting updated. I don't play it anymore but the people that do I'm sure are appreciative.

The entire point is, no matter what other trappings there are only one thing matters
For the company: it's making enough sales to cover development costs and make a profit
For consumers: it is to get equal, but hopefully greater, enjoyment per dollar spent.
This is ignoring weird avenues of enjoyment I, personality, can never understand like skin collecting, achievement hunting, topping leaderboards ect. How you define enjoyment and value are subjective.
People are still playing fortnight and Warframe for instance. I couldn't tell you why. I just hope they're having fun
>>
I'm too ancient and dogshit at games to be playing coop/pvp stuff anymore.
>>
>>746056798
All games have a shelf life. And not every game needs to go on forever.
The truth about updates is that it's not about getting new players in, it's about getting people that already bought in to stay in. The whole live service thing is built to cater to whales. But the idea that every multiplayer purchase has to be a lifestyle game is part of why multiplayer games nowadays feel so predatory.
Old PC games were different because they were legitimately kept alive by their communities and by modders. But when developers are expected to keep the content pipeline going on a game, it changes both the audience for the game and the developer. That sucks.

I think it's fine to have a game like Chromehounds. Super niche game, 360 exclusive, lasted a grand total of 3.5 years before the servers went offline, but the online playerbase was probably pretty dead after maybe a year. But still, to the people who played it, it's one of the best and most memorable experiences.

anon, no one thinks you're actually a game dev...

>just don't buy dead/dieing things in the first place.
i'll be a bit serious right now, that's on the same level as "just don't fall for the scam". the problem is that they are selling a dead/dying product in that scenario. the average consumer isn't going to know the status of every game, especially if they're buying a game as a gift. the scammed don't realize they're falling for a scam in the first place.

this entire issue about skg ties back to the mw2 dedicated servers though, you can go hop on pre mw2 pc games and still find matches because players host their own servers, shit there's even ps3 games that are still playable online right now almost 20 years later. corporations owning the servers is one of the ultimate evils in gaming and has had disastrous impacts(such as the mass censorship because you must do/say what the devs allow you to do/say instead of making your own server with your own rules).
>>

>>
>>746058995
NTA but I think you're missing the point. This isn't about whether or not the servers will be up. The original point was that because FROM isn't going to be churning out live service slop updates on a regular basis, the ADHD playerbase will dwindle and die long before the servers are taken offline.
>>
How actually PVP focused is duskbloods? Is it really mainly a battle royale type game?
>>
>>746059634
In some sense it is entirely PvP because you are always competing with every other player for virtues/victory points. It's like a board game where you're not always directly fighting each other but you're always competing. Even when you're co-oping, you're still competing.
>>
>>746059634
About 50/50 for the map we got, you can technically avoid it but you'll miss out on points and probably get culled if you stay pure PvE. The ending round was a 1v1v1 PvP match with the remaining 3 players but at release there will be PvE alternatives apparently.

The other anon that replied to you is right though, technically the entire game is 1 big competition. 2 players get removed after the second round and 3 players get removed after the third round. You get pushed out of the game if you don't farm more points than other players so you're on a timer rushing against everyone else.
>>
>>746058995
It's not so much as they're selling a dieing product as you are buying a dieing product. It's a small distinction but unfortunately an important one. They intended the game to last. In fact many games that SKG have a problem with have built in MTX to be an evergreen game it just didn't pan out.
Again this SHOULD be an easy fix with dedicated server infrastructure. At least when it comes to the greater SKG issue. After all the company also wins as they can keep selling the game well after their support has ended. Unfortunately they're all retarded and are so myopic they're only looking for the pump and dump whales and all other sales might as well not exist.
So you got to plan for support ending, you as a consumer have to be aware of if the game has critical online features or no, and if it does, have to be paranoid about the games current health if only to defend your own capital. I'd love to say oh don't think about it at all there's an EOL plan but I'm cynical.

That said to kinda wrap back to my argument against anon, even if you buy a game as it's "dieing" hell, even in the end of service window, depending on what you value and enjoy there's a possibility that you get what you feel is your money's worth even in such a situation. That's how I have both opinions. I want an EOL and support SKG to get these fucks to be less short sighted, I also expect no changing from trends even as it harms both producer and consumer, and I also think people can find value from weird angles and squeeze more enjoyment than I can out of situations I cannot fathom. I'd advise against it. I'd describe skin buyers as "having fun wrong" but ultimately I will never be able to convince them they didn't have fun and enjoy their purchase.

I might bother with ranked in this game, I do like getting sword virtue. But I still just want to fight the phase IV raid bosses that apparently exist. The greater trespassers were alright design wise, their movesets weren't that complex which makes sense because they're there to be killed fairly quickly but they still felt like not much of anything with all the utility characters have. Like if I fought them in ER or even DS3, it'd be basically the same. But I hope these raid bosses make me go

I'm kind of happy with the toned down bosses. They can have a few tricky attacks, but I'm so tired of multi-phase bossfights with incredibly stupid-looking rollcatch attack animations and gigantic awkward windups that make no physical sense.
I felt like Duskbloods had better animations than anything I've seen from FROM in these games for a long time, because they weren't trying to do those stupid rote memory patterns.

>It's a valid complaint in normal soulslikes
Eh, even then that's usually a pseud complaint that isn't well backed and if you sit the fuck down and actually tally shit up, the variety is fine.

Take Dark Souls 2 for example:
>TOO MANY KNIGHTS, ENEMY VARIETY LACKING
Is a common complaint for the boss roster. But if you look into the roster you'll see it has tons of variety and cool shit. Also if you look at Dark Souls 1, O&S and Artorias were widely considered "peak" fights so DaS2 having more of that is simply logical. The "enemy variety" complaint is usually just "I didn't like them enough" in most cases where it's levied at a game.

>>746065765
I'm tired boss.
>>
>>746064961
They're right in regards to the trespassers and the great foes or w/e the same few reskins of enemies that were mini bosses are, I forget the term the survey used. But with 3 maps, the variety will probably be spread out.

I was pretty sick of doing that same map over and over again by the time the test was over but if I only had to see it 33% of the time it wouldn't be as bad.

Tendies are like this. I like nintendo consoles for their first party games generally, and while I'm glad tendies are getting some real souls stuff to finally try out they will always be like this.
Overall the switch2 has been a massive disappointment as I'd rather play shit on a handheld PC so it's niche is no longer special and it still performs like shit and we've had like literally 5 first party games and a manual so far. And it has all sucked except DK, which was fun throughout but low challenge and never capitalized on it's best ideas. But duskbloods was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to it.

NGL the best part of duskbloods and nightreign is fromsoft making specific characters.

I like the whole make your character and RPG thing, but it just allowed them to tell more stories with your character on the front. I think Sekiro kind of did it as well but you had a few blank slate moments.

It could be fun to see it in the future, especially with some non-rpg action games like Sekiro.

>>
>>746072448

From leaves a lot of things to interpertation and deliberately gives a lot of holes, even hiding information that was previously available but the writing is just good. I like it.

The cucks who just go through the whole game without reading 3 sentences worth of item descriptions give it a bad rep that makes the story seem impossible to grasp until youtube man comes out and spoonfeeds it to them.

Items will say shit like

> Brungle town was inhabited by Bubo tribe, and they got killed by sorcerers

and people will still say "Man this shit so cryptic"

This guy is part of a group. If his drip of "Pajama + bucket" is because he is a member, it means there is a whole group of people just running around like this.

I like what Nightreign did with characters also having unique moves or bonuses with specific weapon types (like Ironeye having an exclusive bow combo). I think they could lean into it even with Souls-style character customisation if classes gave you those kinds of bonuses instead of just being starting stats and gear.

>>
>>746036463
I get where you are coming from on nightrain and I'm not even a fromsoft pvper generally because the experience is usually pretty clunky but I had a fucking stellar time with duskbloods. Unlike nightpain you can explore at your liesure and head to the objective point whenever you want, or never. They don't make fortnite fire close in on you unless you enter and leave the objective area and you aren't exactly pushed to go so fast you can't even stand to look at things, which NEVER WORE OFF IN SOME 60+ HOURS OF NIGHT TRAIN.
I can see how if you don't like pvp at all duskbloods might really suck for you, but I think there is a really good mix just as it is now from what we saw, and they said more pve is in the pipeline as well. So unlike nightclam which was the laziest asset flip that ignored the absolute best parts of elden ring to give us a shitty pve fortnite bossrush game, duskbloods does seem like it's using core fromsoft mechanics, cut to the quick in interesting, speedy fun rounds. But I would probably think differently if I liked both games, or liked neither. Maybe it'll grow on you after release.

I do hope they support it long term, ideally TF2 style. It'll be sad if they give up after like a year. I miss TF2 and this is the first multiplayer game I've played in more than a decade that felt like the same kind of fun I had in TF2.

ugh that's how I felt about elden ring. I didn't hate the pvp in previous games but it was ass and in elden ring it was still somehow ass.

He is, people are just retarded and don't realize his guard boost and stamina but make him REALLY GOOD for power stance and two handing and still being able to block as opposed to just sticking with great shields.
His primary power sucks and his ult is only good for rez is where he falls behind.
Even then I like him more than scholar

yeah. both in terms of effectiveness and in terms of fun actually using the shield instead of simply holding l1

It's okay in PVE but not really bosses. Anything non human doesn't get staggered and it's damage is super low. You really don't need to clear groups often so that's why it sucks.
When it works it's awesome, don't get me wrong, it's just good at something you don't really fight and useless against most of the things that are a problem

>>746095523
They could lean into the random elements really hard, or repelling invaders and fighting other bosses could be so rewarding as to be meta, and and then the focus would basically be PvE. Normally I don't like multiplayer games with tons of RNG, but I do think that they should basically be treating this as a party game.
>>
>>746095720
I don't understand what is going on with the animation for the SMG. Whenever you fire it, he sort of puts the saber into the slide for no reason?

>>746017115

holy shit if they don't nerf it into the ground the game is done in a week
>>
>>746096145
Rule of thumb is that if you get a sniper layla in the last 3 person free for all, you should team up with the other guy to kill her because she's too good in a 1v1.
>>
>>746096463
she's not good in a 1v1 she's broken in a 2v1
>>
>>746096708
Everything is technically a 2v2 if you count kins which any sane player targets first to turn the scenario into a 2v1.
>>
>>746096778
a 2v1 with another player. layla being there means you can't run, if the other player is competent at melee you lose every time. there's legit nothing you can do when layla is sniping you between dodges.
>>
>>746096708
She's fine in 1-vs-1, just not the best.

>>746096778
Also this. Kins are practically made to counter your character's weaknesses.
Once you can consistently choose which Kin you want in the full game, then it'll become even less of a problem.
>>
>>746096967
I think she's the best. You just never stop kiting and kin don't help because she can shoot them to death from across the map.
