    i guess i’m the only one really excited for this? i already play elden ring randomizer runs for fun and this offers a lot more variety than that. i am very interested in seeing what they can accomplish in a new formula.

    Gotta love arbitrary rules like requiring 3 players for coop. Gonna pass on this one, even though I love all of the souls games and elden ring to death

    This could be great, but I’ll wait around for reviews. I’d be very excited about this if it weren’t for Fromsoft’s bad experience with online play. In the beta you couldn’t play with 2 players and if someone disconnected there apparently wasn’t a way to reconnect, and the netcode could be janky. Really hope they fixed those issues before release.

      I have faith that, with this and Duskbloods, they’re taking online play more seriously. But still I’m with you in waiting for reviews to confirm that’s the case before considering buying it. Network test existing doesn’t tell us anything about how the final product performs until the final product is released.

      You won’t be able to play with 2 players in the final game either, they’ve already said as much when they first announced it.

      But waiting for reviews is never a bad idea!

        Last I’ve heard they said they were looking into it but haven’t confirmed anything. They also mentioned they were surprised so many people wanted a 2 player mode which is… Surprising.

    Man I played the living shit out of elden ring and the dlc but this battle royale roguelike reskin does not have me excited to fight the same enemies I already fought many times already. Might be the first fromsoft thing I pass on in a very long time.

      I hear you, was a little disappointed when I saw the same bosses 😕. I’ve gotta have well over 100 hours into elden ring, I think I’ve smashed them enough.
