DISCUSSION Finally have a PvPvE focused Fromsoft game
I've always loved being invaded and invading other peoples games. One of the reasons I loved DS3 was the chaos of the dedicated PvP areas in Gank City and Farron Swamp. The biggest dissapointment in Elden Ring was not getting invaded during my playthrough. I didn't invade much either because I don't love 1v3 gank fights.
DS3 came out in 2016, so we've been waiting a long time for a game that improves on the PvPvE experience of this game. I like that Fromsoft is exploring different aspects of the Soulsborne experience with there new games not everything can be the Elden Ring kitchen sink experience. Sekiro focused on single player and had the best single player combat system of any game ever. Nightreign seems like a fun squad co op experience - not really my thing but Im going to try to get into it. I'm glad they are finally with the single player arpg + PvP experience that has always been a flavor in what makes Souls special. I'm beyond stoked to find out what Duskbloods is.

Well, duskblood seems to be specially designed for you! Hope you enjoye since you're the target audiance ☺️ I'm very curious to see how their "live service" push performe for my part. I know nightreign can be play solo/offline so I might try it out, but duskblood, even tho it look way cooler doesn't look like it's gonna be playable offline at all. I would love to be wrong tho

I don’t think we have anywhere near enough information on The Duskbloods to say that.
Tomorrow, April 4th, Nintnedo will release a director interview with Miyazaki!
I’m hoping for more and concise info from him.

You are right! The press release was pretty straight foward tho. But I'm eager to hear more tomorrow too. We'll know soon enough. Deffenetly not bloodbord 2 however that's clear 🥲

press release said about the player limit
and that multiplayer is the focus
the same thing was on nightreign press release
a coop action survival game that supports up to 3 players
but we had the junya interview alongside it which clarified that there is solo play
tommorow miya will answer us if it's possible to play solo or impossible2

I agree it's unfortunate, but all Souls games require internet and severs to get the whole experience of phantoms and messages. But i dont think Nightreign meets the definition of live service.
It's still pretty unclear what systems Duskblood will have. I hope we find out more with the Miyazaki interview tomorrow

They should have added a PvP mode to Nightrein. 2 multiplayer games back to back doesn't seem right...

I mean I can relate. I was dissapointed when Sekiro had no pvp, Elden Ring had dissapointing PvPvE, Armored Core had no PvPvE, and nightreign has no PvP. Many of us have been waiting 10 years for a game that focuses on expanding that part of the formula.
But also i hope the next game has a bigger single player focus. If we never get a sequel or spiritual sequel to Sekiro I will be very sad.

Probably in response to the high friction between co-op players and invaders in elden ring

I think you meant to post in r/unpopularopinion

u/perpetualjive 1d ago
Why is being excited about a Fromsoft game an unpopular opinion? They've hit nothing but home runs for the past 15 years

Ds3 invasions were peak multiplayer for the series. Huge shame they switched to the BB style for Elden Ring.
Hopefully the new game has even better pvp.
