Elden Ring Nightreign - 9/10 GS, 77 MC Update: 2 million copies already!

Thoughts, SW? Were you interested in Elden Ring Nightreign? Online co-op games are not my thing. This also seemed like an unnecessary spinoff.

It's not for me, but I can see how someone could enjoy it. A few years ago From Software hired up so that they could work on more projects. Doing an asset flip targeting a new genre for the developer, and selling it for less than a standard game, seems like a good way to reach a new audience and have some people take a chance on it. They probably want to expand their audience. They said they will continue to make the games they traditionally make, and given that they hired more staff it seems like they can take on more projects like this. Seems good for them and good for gamers. The game is "generally favorable" from critics and I've read a lot of comments from people who are interested in it, so hopefully it does well for them.

I’m going to pass. Game looks really good with cool bosses and what not but the gameplay loop with the co-op battle royale-esque thing just kind of puts me off on the game. I’ll wait for their next single player focused game instead.

Hard pass on this one and Elden Ring wasn't my jam to begin with anyway. Great game, but not for me.

It sounds like the solo mode is lacking, and I wasn't really looking for another multiplayer game right now.

I'll skip it.

After Bo Ring, I am not touching another From Soft game.

Especially given the complaints about repitition. Souls games rely on good enemy placement, level design and boss design. (Something a good chunk of Bo Ring lacked). Combat mechanics in Souls are not very good and lack depth and skill expression. And because of how overly simplistic they are it is not particularly satisfying to pull off.

I'd rather play Elden Ring with the Seamless co-op mod (exclusive on PC)

Beat Elden Ring 4 times and got the platinum. No interest in returning to that world

Not feeling it.

Would it be less rush-y and have new locations and enemies it would be different. Can't help but think of it as a 40 dollar mod.

I wish you could play this on the same console. Kids and I would have a blast (yelling at each other).

Gamespot's reviews really suck.

Olden Ring sucks, come at me hardwenzen.

I’ll just watch Maximilian play it on his stream and that’ll probably be good enough for me with this game.

They are miking the hell out of this game. I am not interested in iterative versions of the same game, especially at a cost.

What is it ? solo with bots and co op game like Left4dead ? I mean no fleshed out single player like base game or it's previous dlc ?

I wonder what Wenzen thinks of the game.

From softwares greatest boss fight.... Make 2 real life friends who want to play games with you.

lol :P

I watched Chasethebro play this yesterday with other YouTubers. It does look fun, but the complaints I keep hearing is that unless you have friends who are able to play consistently, matchmaking takes a long time to find other players.

Just another example of SonySpot cough GameSpot over praising anything Sony style type games and jrpgish type games.

2 million copies already!

The game without crossplay is criminal

Pretty tired of Souls games and mixing in Battle Royale isn't really the answer for me. I'll go back to Devil May Cry 5 without a second thought to this ARPG Battle Royale.

With that stated some of the comments here are wild. Trust System-Wars to fight against the grain.

WTF; tell me this is just some kind of SW meme mentality.

Think very slim pickings would agree with any of that. Even if we do break down that the combat has mostly stayed the same since DeS many would tell you the combat is indeed satisfying. Combat has always felt great, meaty, and has weight to it in From Software ARPG games.

Personally the only ARPGs that come to mind with superior combat are Dragon's Dogma and Monster Hunter. But Capcom happen to flex in that area. An argument could be made for Nioh and other Soul-likes but I've given far too few the time of day honestly.

Not very good combat would be Daggerfall, Morrowind and Elder Scrolls Online. Even The Witcher 3 which has combat I would never call great is still ok. Dark Souls and Elden Ring are at least two notches above that tier.

But you do you.

@xbox7204life: "Sony type game"re you serious right now?

Sony type ganes are third person action adventure landholding, cutscene infested, walking and talking segments movie games, even I know Olden Ring isn't that.

Fromsoft is just printing money these days.
