30-60 minute matches relying on RNG to get good mates isnt fun. if the game was like 20 bucks it would be a fair price.... and they're gonna add reused shit to DLC aint they?
anyway i had my fun with the game..

Playing with randoms in any multiplayer game is cancer
You can play the game solo and its arguably easier than playing with pre-mades.

>>712869510 (OP)
it's not fun at all. i want a 2 player elden ring. not run around and try to kill things as fast as possible ring

playing with randoms is an experience equivalent to assfaggots. having no reset/forfeit vote is so unbelievably fucking retarded when it becomes extremely apparent when your run is hopelessly ruined with no chance of recovery

>he doesn't have friends to play vidya with
irl skill issue

I beat every nightlord with randos even with a disconnector, skill issue on your part.

phase 3 bosses soon

Why not just make it free 2 play? It doesn't even have Denuvo so it might as well have been free

Playing Solo Revenant
Hit night 2 and get Nameless King as boss
Thanks Game

>>712875024
>Hit night 2 and get Nameless King as boss
so? just kill him

>>712875375
It was my first time meeting him in this game and so I made it to his final phase, but having a three phase fight outside of the final boss of a run feels bullshit.

>>712873142

>three phase fight
???
Nameless King has just two phases.

>>712869510 (OP)
The worst thing about this game is how obsessed people are with trying to rez others.
If they have 3 bars, you are not picking them up without an ult, you need to immediately ult them, then swing down the 2 bars, sitting there for over a minute is just throwing the run for the amount of damage lost to the boss.

people just can't seem to understand spending so much time not progressing the fight just means you will run out of healing and eventually die, you need to end fights quickly.

>>712878396
I'd rather die trying to res you than spend my time carrying your fat ass. If you want a clear, be on your feet.
It could be one hit, I don't care.

>>712871032
>he needs friends to enjoy games
Skill issue is expecting others to carry your dopamine drip. I’ve had more fun soloing content than trying to wrangle two grown men who can’t dodge a telegraphed swing from 15 feet away. Play better.

>>712878173
I count the Dragon and Beastman combo as a phase.

>>712879053
it isn't me who is dying
its my teammate who dies and then my other teammate sits there for ages hitting them while I have to fight the boss solo

the game is genuinely easier solo when I don't need to carry spastics who waste time because if I only need to do 1/3 of the damage I can actually carry my own weight instead of needing to do the damage of multiple people

>>712869510 (OP)
I wish the game gave you a better incentive to fight the other nightlords, after I beat them I just went for the achievement where you have to beat the night aspect with each character and never bothered with the other lords again

>Get to Gladius with a fire weapon
God that sucked, but I helped some newbies so that was cool.

>>712879647
Stop doing this. It's retarded.

>>712881120
Dragons are way7 to much of a pain for me to consider them anything but, especially lacking torrent.

>>712879673
>the game is genuinely easier solo
>complains about having to solo while they res
Oh woe is you.
A) They're retarded if they aren't watching for the aggro swap while they res
and
B) You're retartded for not joining them to res while it's busy doing something long and stupid over there

>>712881618
ah so you are one of those players who sits there rezzing 3 bar downed players
I see what the problem is, you are one of the incompetent retards butt blasted for being called out for stupid behaviour.

stop doing it, its bad.

>>712876495
Three-phase Nameless King is honestly peak Fromsoft trolling. You think you’re done after the dragon, only for him to whip out a second health bar, and THEN get that berserk, lightning-junkie final form where the arena turns into a wind tunnel. First time I saw that, I just put the controller down and stared at the screen like it owed me money.

>>712882120
one 3bar between 2 of you, doable, 2 3bars solo nah fuck off. I'm not carrying your shit, I'll suicide on your corpses while slapping you.

Thanks game.

At least better then next run:
>other two people beeline for flask upgrade
>spend too much time fighting dragon
>only get to level 6 by first night
>other two players both die, have to solo boss as recluse
>day two more of the same
>only get to level 8
>they die again
>get them up only to die again
>my shit skill is unable to solo Crucible Knight and Hippo

All my irl friends that might even want to play this are xbots. I don't want to have to buy the game again, and Xbox and game pass just to play with them.

I hate this game.

>>712869510 (OP)
I've gotten 60 hours out of it so far and I'm still having fun.
I'd say it was well worth the 40 dollars.

>>712870871
>i want a 2 player elden ring. not run around and try to kill things as fast as possible ring
If the pace of the game was the same as in the base game (the characters didnt sanic run etc.) it would be much better.

>>712884406
everytime i've played, which i've played recluse and wilder. all i've done is run after my 2 other teammates as they find and kill the boss and collect the reward after they've already killed it, it has quite literally happened everytime i've played it and ive played 6 hours. only time i get to really fight a boss is the end of the night, when my teammates just wait around. it's a bad game

>>712869510 (OP)
I think it goes against everything that Souls is supposed to be and its a literal slap in the face to anyone that actually enjoys the novelty of souls games. This game feels like a spit in the face from FROMSOFT

>>712884887
Some people are just faggots.
If somebody is obviously new, I'll stick with them and let the ADHD fag die solo. Worst case, they give us free runes while they rush all the baby shit.

>>712885078
it's just a cheap cashgrab
which I'm fine with, I won't play it
but it had better mean putting out actual high quality games in the future

>>712885391
Thats why it is so divisive, I think people are seeing the success in sales as a greenlight to FROM to put out terrible dogshit cashgrabs. Lets hope this is a one off and we don't see FROM be just another developer in a sea of shit. A lot of people critical of the game are long time fans afraid of it being a greenlight to more cashgrab garbage. We still haven't even gotten word about more AC information since 6. You'd think some DLC or something would have been announced by now.

>>712883670
you are the dead person
this is why you keep coping about needing to get picked up at 3 bars, not having already killed the boss fast enough

>>712869510 (OP)
>i think this gameplay format would have worked better as an armored core mode

>>712885078
>>712885391
>>712885526
What you need to keep in mind is that this is the Combat Designers baby made to fill time wile Miyzaki catches up on paperwork, and so your dealing with one aspect of a souls game taken to its extreme.

>>712869510 (OP)
I tried it in party with randoms, it's pretty fun. Would be better if I had two friends.

>>712886619

>>712888925
nice

>>712873142
Unless its a troll castle its 100% more worth it to wipe that out instead of wasting time in the ice mountain or the scarlet field, but it is worth doing volcano or nokwhatever if its that instead

>shifting earths stop appearing after beating the game
fix when, I need that 100%

>>712889286
If you can't do castle immediately on day 2, what the fuck are you doing? You're meant to clear the easy bit on day 1.

>>712889286
There is no castle on the nokwhatever map

>get the frenzyflame event
>me and the raider take vyke's war spear
>the ironeye takes the frenzyflame seal
>pretty much always we're firing frenzy bullshit at libra
>he's frenzied near constantly

>and then gets frenzied
lel
easiest fucking libra kill i've ever done

>>712890102
The only time you shouldn't clear the castle is if your playing solo.
If that's the case the enemies inside are to much of an HP sink and your better off clearing up the rest of the camps and buying a weapon from the merchant if needed.

>>712869510 (OP)
>relying on RNG to get good mates isnt fun
Once again /v/ is BTFO by any game requiring friends

>>712891675
>The only time you shouldn't clear the castle is if your playing solo.
I'm not saying you shouldn't clear it, I'm saying wtf are you doing with the tail end of day 1? Running around doing shit camps? You should be doing the shit bit of it then and cleaning up the top boss on day 2, leaving plenty of time to do the shifting earth bit on top.

>>712885526
The problem is that From has pumping out this kind of crap for years now. From DS3 to ER to ER's godawful DLC to this, I keep hearing how these games are just to make money so From can fund their REAL projects. What real projects? When do we get something from Miyazaki that isn't just rollslop but sloppier than the last entry again?

Sekiro and SC6 are their only standout titles over the last decade. Is Yamamura now the only game dev at From with any talent left?

>2 weeks
Unironically

>>712891949
ER was The Big Game, and just because you thought it was to derivative doesn't mean most people did.
Now we are in a lull period and people want either another Dark Souls 1 or Elden Ring depending on their taste. And if you can't tell the difference between those and Nightreign then you have let you resentment over a polished formula working for over a decade blind you to standards of quality.

>>712871125
based on the leaks it's going to be so fun

>>712892195
At this point I think most people have finished all the bosses so we're waiting for new content. The game is fun but there's just not enough
