Why are people still complaining about this? Co-op was never promised, and the way you did multi-player in Demon's Souls was obviously a circumventing of the system that the developer did not encourage. So to actually cut off that circumventing, you are now in lobbies, so you probably won't find your friend. You can't play with your friends. Period. If you were expecting to play with your friends, you should have done more research before buying the game. If you want to play with your friends, go play Gears of War 3. So either toughen up or sell the game. I am 35 hours into Dark Souls, and am mostly done with the main story, and I have not once used my white soapstone (my choice). I am very grateful for many of the notes left for me, and I hope my notes have helped others. That's the way you play, with a vague sense of community, and gratefulness to a stranger. The game isn't the way you specifically want it, well that's too bad. Personally, I prefer it the way it is.homegirl2180

I've been waiting for this game since completing the first game! Preordered it as soon as it was possible too. This game is going to be amazing and doesn't need to be blowing it's own trumpet because everyone with an ounce of knowledge knows this game is going to be one of THE best games in years.

That's like going to a restaurant and ordering a meal and then complaining that they didn't make your food the way you wanted it.

LOL, sorry but I just had to login and tell you that's the stupidest f*****g analogy I've ever heard.

Great post, Noobverest. Unfortunately the detractors in this thread are more interested in just flaming than actually discussing the pros and cons of the multiplayer in Dark Souls.

Wolf,

I read noobverest's post (along with the entire thread) very carefully, and I'm pretty sure noobverest's post was in response to istuffedsunny's post and not yours. Both noobverest and I were arguing in favor of your position that co-op is exactly as it should be in Dark Souls. Before you accuse me of not following the thread, why don't read all of my posts and not just take my last post out of context.

The point is, I agree with you but if you're going to act like a jerk you're on your own.

actually... if you look, he is quoting me, and telling me i am wrong.

"Noobverest wrote: I don't think you've done proper research on how the developers wanted the game to be either, so you're not allowed to criticize anyone."

when in fact... i am very RIGHT. he is arguing that the technical nature of the multiplayer is not functioning properly... which i agree. it clearly isnt working right as you almost never find people waiting to be summoned. HOWEVER, that was NOT the topic of discussion in this thread..... the thread was created to discuss why the game didnt allow you to play with friends directly.... he is arguing something completely different from the intent of the thread, and i corrected him.

i dont see how that is me being a jerk. i see that as me keeping the thread on topic...

Like the other poster said, it's a generic shooter. It looks great but its linear and after a couple of missions it gets old and stale. The AI isn't good at all and because its programmed the bad guys are always in the same place doing the same thing if you have to start over on a mission. It takes all the challenge out of it. I already took my copy back to Game Stop and traded it in.Palehorse2211

this... this is pretty much **** right here. yes the game does get boring fast, and yes it is generic... but the AI is EXCELLENT.

i 100% promise this person has never played the game. If there is anything about rage that is to be praised, its the graphics and the AI. both are superb.

[QUOTE="AWolfoftheCalla"][QUOTE="doubalfa"]I don't see anyone talking about Halo 4...am I the only one who is getting it?Master_Of_Fools

LOL Halo 4 is over a year away. And it was a lead designer that left Frank said it doesnt effect them at all he only developed some of the scenery and he left cause he felt like it wasnt a challenge for him. He was used to join Japanese art styles and this was just not doing it for him.

One of the main reasons why I got this game was to play with friends and have fun... Now I am wishing I never got this game.
