It ain't pretty, but it's honest man's work

 

[Banjo64]

Looking forward to this one, will be playing it over the weekend. Always loved the PVP/PVE element of From's games.

 

[SJRB]

Praying to Oedon that playing solo works well enough.

 

[Tomeru]

co op action survival?

 

[gamingforum1]

Will this fill in any lore of the original game?

VaatiVidya has an ASMR video ready that's 3 hours just analyzing the word Nightreign.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I think I already posted this in the other thread, but...

 

[Superposition]

Just finished my pre-load. I'm completely ready for this rush and constant boss challenge.

Great OT.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Best milking deal indeed. Gaming not so much.

 

[Kotaro]

co op action survival?

You can play solo offline

 

[Tomeru]

You can play solo offline

I forgot to bold the survival part. What is survival here?

 

[Bernardougf]

Huge nope for me. But hope you all enjoy.

 

[Schmendrick]

You can play solo offline

wait what? I thought this was designed for 3 player coop including the enemy balancing? Is there a specific solo mode, or is it just a "you can try solo, enjoy getting buttfucked" situation?

Enemies will have less health in solo mode

I read where you can play the solo experience offline. The enemies will be scaled for the solo experience. Which is amazing imo. I want my own time without worrying out lobbies or matching with someone else.

"Of course, I myself as a player understand that and often want times where I'm just playing myself, so this is something that we considered from the start. And so we did put a lot of effort into creating this experience that was playable for solo players in as much as the rules and new systems allowed. So in putting all our efforts into that aspect, we kind of overlooked and neglected the duos aspect, but this is something that we are looking at and considering for post-launch support as well."

‘Elden Ring Nightreign’ Just ‘Overlooked’ Making A Two-Player Mode

While many may have assumed this was the case, there is no option for duos to play together in Elden Ring Nightreign.

I don't think there's been any gameplay shown of the solo mode, right? Just going to have to wait to see if reviewers play the solo mode at all and mention it.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Man, the Namco Store is bizarre. I preordered the collector's in February, and they randomly cancelled my order on the 15th of this month, lmao. I was reading it happened to other people too, same occurrence around Elden Ring's release as well for some. As a result I didn't want to order from them again, so I just got the digital deluxe from Fanatical. I'm sure I'll enjoy the game, but hey, they helped me save $150 I guess, lol.

He goes on to explain how the game is balanced for solos, where enemies are less aggressive to a single player so you don't get fully overwhelmed. Solos can also discover a self-revive feature on the map given that they have no teammates. But the experience is meant to be harder.

If your HP reaches 0, you die.

Not great? I thought anything above 70 was good....
Maybe I have low standards.

OP for the love of god can you change the title to praise the rain?

Some of us are actually hyped for this game. Da fuck were you thinking with that shit title?

 

[Bartski]

thanks for making some of my thread titles look less shit in comparison

That's a really good title actually. Agreed.

Agree. Contrary to the "popular" opinion here I actually really liked the beta and I just pre-ordered.

nope not changing the title, I'm shamelessly advertising the game

 

[Kotaro]

[drotahorror]

It's a very nice OT, thanks!

For From Sotware game? It's bad.

I love their games but I'm completely not interested in this co-op/mp/whatever it is.

 

[MiguelItUp]

But for a budgeted experimental title that's.... not bad.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Its online focused.

Review scores will be completely disregarded by its target audience.

 

[Flabagast]

This OT title is embarassing

 

[MiguelItUp]

That it is. By some sure. Much like how a lot of Souls players and lovers don't dabble in PVP, but some ADORE it. It'll be really interesting seeing how it all pans out.

 

[Arsic]

Any confirmation yet for a SP offline mode? I keep seeing this is an option too.

My plan is to make a SP character, a co op with buddies, and a co op with randoms. That way I can find which way is best to progress.

Odds are coordinating my two friends with me consistently on different schedules won't fly so I'll have to beat the game solo if it's available.

if only there was an online place where people talked about videogames and could coordinate group sessions for this co-op videogame lol

You think anyone on GAF actually plays video games?

 

[Ar¢tos]

After checking my bank account, crunching numbers, measuring my current boredom level, descovering I still had some money in my PS wallet and watching a few reviews decided to get it.
If I get a week of entertainment out of it it will be worth the price of 1 month of PS+.

[Lokaum D+]

Online From game.... Im out

You can play offline solo mode

 

[MagiusNecros]

Informative on whether Solo play is good or not.



I welcome the challenge.

On the negativity. No one hates Fromsoft more then Fromsoft fans. And I imagine there will be a whole lot of "GAME IS GARBAGE" before release and "I ALWAYS SUPPORTED YOU" afterwards.
