“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
I think I would choose Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring, or Bloodborne. It probably sounds weird I know, but anyone who is a hardcore souls player knows the hype, ecstasy, and the drive that the playerbase of these games command in their first 3-5 months. It is biblical. I want that level of fervor and activity to last a year. You have an entire community that grinds its face off only to turn around and help newer players or those vets that are making new characters. Some level up and then turn around to guide others. Others turn around and try to invade and make everyone miserable. I still remember sitting up late at night at certain bosses or areas. Places like Cainhurst where invaders sat licking their chops so I had leveled a character SPECIFICALLY to counter invaders. The ultimate PvP build not to actually PvP in the traditional sense, but to protect noobs from the vets there at the start. I spent I don't even know how many Fridays or Saturdays just sitting outside Cainhurst just to help people. The same went for Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring where I specifically made faith based support characters. Not to dominate the game or bow to the meta, but to heal and help those along who were just finding their way and getting started. The idea of the Vet hunkering down to help the Noob is just something that I love from the Souls games. Something that you can not only choose to do, but that the game and its community actually encourages. No other multiplayer setting is quite like the Souls games, but the only problem is that the peak is brief and it all falls apart fast. The average person makes their character plays the game to the end and they are done. Not everyone goes to New Game Plus. Not everyone goes for a different playthrough or a different ending from scratch. So the life of these Co-op juggernauts is short-lived. I would take that magic and make it last a full calendar year. And yeah I wouldn't sleep and would probably lose my job, but man......it would be a hell of a year.
What games would you resurrect? What playerbases would you flood with activity just so you could enjoy them again like you did before? Or maybe what games would you repopulate because you had missed it originally?
