I like that they keep trying to make a pvp boss encounter, but it would be nice if it worked once

I think if they made a fight where the boss is similar to the player, like gehrman or gascoigne in bloodborne, then you could just have an invading player take over as that character, give em a larger health pool and auto equip them with the bosses weapon and disable healing and it could work. The old monk was cool but was hampered by how you could spam grasses in demons souls and then the fight lasts forever

not a boss but I liked in the nightmare zones in bloodborne how they forced you to engage in pvp as part of the level by starting off with a bell ringer. I'd guess almost everybody ends up fighting at least one invader while trying to progress through those areas the first time

I thought it was an NPC invasion the first time until I got him down really low and he turned tail and hosed off into the swamp for like 15 minutes

wasn't the old monk sort of what people are describing?

i also like the idea of making a covenant where you control a torture maze. that's sort of what doors of pharos was, but most people just joined the rat covenant long enough to get through it.

the problem with the rat covenant is that as the victim you get sucked into the world and then usually swarmed by the invader and the minions they've activated. there's no penalty but it's basically a covenant that forces the victim to sit through two loading screens and die meaninglessly

I had no idea the adversary mechanic existed in bloodborne until like yesterday.

Bloodstarved Beasts' properly translated name is "Host of the Beast Blood". I'm not sure if someone messed it up or they just thought that was boring but it makes more sense.

I really like the idea behind bloodborne's invading mechanics but they never ever seemed to happen. The only one I ever saw was the standard invader

my one pvp invader in demons was a guy who pulled open the switch on 4-1 i think where a door opens to a cliff face and i didn't know there was a cliff face or the layout of the level cuz i never been there and he kicked me down. cool. bUt 45 minutes of dual katana 2nd chance spam looks bad

If Sony pays from to make another ps4 exclusive (they will) do you guys think it will be bloodborne 2 or another different take on the formula. They haven't been making giant robot games and they should really hire hideo to make one

Like, the last Dark Souls game or is From Software going to make a different genre or something? That might be cool, but there's not another developer that makes these games like fromsoft do, so It's dissapointing to hear that if it's the case.

I've seen two different interviews where Miyazaki says "dark souls is my life's work" (in one he calls it the "...culmination of my life's work"). even if they move on to entirely new stuff id find it hard to believe there won't be at least one team at from devoted to making more souls content of some kind

U can always just open the passage, kill the bugs and then go through normally. I read somewhere that with the poison cloud spell u get from the man who's with the fire keeper spider woman u can actually kill the bugs and complete that part of the Solaire quest without ever joining the covenent. Idk if it's true, just read that somewhere.

Idk, I think from software's style of dark and depressing game could be really interesting in a different style, but then there would be nothing to fill the from software itch...

Lords of the Fallen is dog poo poo. I tried really hard to like it but one of the first bosses had like a million hp and kept summoning adds and it was really stressful and it was designed so poorly I couldn't even tell if I was doing it right

The difference now is that Miyazaki runs the company, so him saying it again carries a little more weight
