I've been buying all From Software games since Demon's Souls and playing them offline exclusively. I've never been invaded in any game, and only did co-op a couple of times. For me those are single-player games.

I thought this was going to be another big expansion when the trailer hit. I was bummed to hear it's an MP game. Good for the fans that enjoy that stuff though. I hope it's great for them.

I've platinumed most of their games, and the upside to trophies in general is it forces you to do multiplayer. It's like having to learn that subject in school you don't like, it gives you breadth and depth in your repertoire.

I was like a lot of the gaffers here who make it a point of avoiding mp and not platting or 100'ing mp games, but when I started my platinum journey I decided it could be fun.

I remember sniping with the crossbow in HL1 in college lan games, and I wanted to enjoy getting badges for those. And it turned out really well, I missed Titanfall 1 and 2 but really got into apex. I solo'd to diamond 4, which is just below masters pool.

I primarily play From's Souls games for exploring, discovering and collecting stuff in single player. I'll replay them to experience the game with a different build/playstyle. I don't engage in multiplayer any further than player messages.

Zero interest in this.

Pre-ordered it for the sick ass steelbook, but I'm genuinely curious about what the game will be like.

Only recently got back to Elden Ring and beat Shadow Of The Erdtree and I'm completely hooked by it again (just started a 3rd character lol).

Definitely not the direction I'd prefer them to go, but I like the fact that they are experimenting with something different to them, and making sensible use of all the assets they've built over the year. It's kinda exciting to see old FromSoftware bosses being brought back.

Not really expecting greatness, but I hope it'll be good MP fun, kind of like. Space Marine 2.

Oh and two last things, make sure to post the cover image first so that it looks cool on the front page/featured section, and be sure to add all of the character class videos Fromsoft has been posting on youtube.

OT is ready to go tomorrow.

can't wait, 50+ of us are gonna enjoy this game a lot
 
It looks like something I'd get bored of in a couple of hours.

There's much better stuff to play right now and in the coming weeks.
 
I loved Elden Ring but have zero interest in this because it doesn't even feel like it's "canon" in the Elden Ring story. It feels weirdly disconnected from the base game in a way that doesn't seem genuine and that turns me off.

Probably also has to do with the multiplayer aspect. Even if there is some kind of linear story to it, I just don't care about it.

I feel the Same about that Dusk Bloods game, too.

I'm playing nightreign day one! Also duskbloods if and when it comes to PlayStation. The older trailers aren't as good as the launch trailer... hope to learn the lore connection of night reign and the first game

Is there any Gaf consensus on the best platform for Nightreign? I'm torn between PC and PS5 Pro.
I'm buying on PC but my decision was between xbox and pc. Not paying for multiplayer over time and the population increase are the main benefits for me. Plus pc will likely have better performance but that obv depends on your pc. And inevitable modding as well.
 
I'm day 1 on anything FROM, my physical copy arrives Friday, hyped 👌 Will add I plan on playing it almost exclusively solo, many don't seem to understand this is an option.

I am definitely leaning towards PC at this point. I don't really do PvP, so I didn't experience heaps of hacking in ER, and I suspect I'll get a more satisfying experience out of my 4090.
 
$40 for jolly co-operation from one of the best devs in the business, even if it isn't by the main team?

I'm in.

Heck, I might even put it down as a good thing that it's not by the main team or directed by Miyazaki.

The industry isn't going to evolve if we only support the same teams making games under the same people.

Aside from the cost effectiveness of reusing assets and tech, this kind of spin-off also seems like an opportunity to grow new talent. Regardless of whether or not it's a huge banger.
 
btw this launches....uh the day after tomorrow? and there are no reviews barely any advertising, not even an OT on Gaf.
Considering this is a From title, albeit only a 40$ one, it`s quite strange.
Even though I´m personally not interested I´d have expected "some" hype at least :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Reviews are today in like 3 hours.
 
exactly, picky stingy whiny ass babies, complaining for complaining sake.....'eeeww multiplayer'...'eeeeww re-used asset'...then developers give them 70-80 bucks games 'eeewwww too expensive'
Was this not supposed to be posted in the Marathon thread?
 
Zero interest in nightreign.

I honestly thought Erdtree was a bad dlc as well. Nowhere near as good as the main game.

Unlike Bloodborne and DS3 which had dlcs that surpassed their main quests.
 
It has a single player mode so yeah I'll try it. I mean I'd rather have a dark souls 4 but wharcha gonna do?
