They just posted the same announcement again

a mediocre game heralded as the best most hardcore game ever by codkiddies posing for gamer cred, first half is pretty good though

what did you expect? servers cost money, and not just money, but maintenance as well. look at the titanfall situation. devs dont see it being worth it. honestly you can expect this to happen more often in the future, and faster

Multiplayer on both Titanfall games is literally dead yet no one cares either. It's really weird, it's not like this was a case of the publisher pulling the plug, online just got fucked for these games and no one seems to care somehow.

FASTER = BETTER VROOM VROOM FUCK YEAH
go play DMC dipshit holy fuck
the Souls engine is built for slower combat
Elden Ring feels like the retarded rape baby of a Souls game and a character action game

A masterfully crafted game unlike anything else in the series
Improved upon everything in Demon's Souls

You're ignoring that the servers are up on every platform except for PC and that PC is the largest market for Souls games
This is obviously not the same as a dead game shutting down its servers

If you've played any other Fromsoft game since DaS, it will feel very clunky, slow and extremely easy. Nice atmosphere and it was a game changer for its time, but in context to newer Fromsoft games, it's just not that good anymore.

>You're ignoring that the servers are up on every platform except for PC and that PC is the largest market for Souls games
dark souls 2 and 3 have native ps4 releases though. console is by far the largest market. i do agree that it's far from dead, but at the end of the day i can understand why from would do this. if theyre concerned about exploits potentially coming out, thats a PR nightmare. but what do they really gain from leaving them on? folks going back to the older games after elden will do so for the main game/story and not the multiplayer side content

>what did you expect?
i don't know really i was more just hoping there'd at least some SOMETHING of an outcry about this but i guess my cynicism has been proven correct
>servers cost money
they barely cost anything and that's irrelevant to the current situation especially considering DeS only recently got put offline
>look at the titanfall situation. devs dont see it being worth it.
yes and that's a bad thing and it's EA, how is this a defense exactly?
>honestly you can expect this to happen more often in the future, and faster
sadly you're probably right, modern consumers are unbelievable and they wonder why people hate always online and gaas
i think in the case of titanfall 2 it's more niche because EA deliberately sabotaged the game by launching it alongside battlefield 1 and whatever cod was coming out then, still though yeah it's super fucked

Ultimate Game of All Time you stupid fucking nigger
I guess all it takes for a shitty game to be good in your eyes is be FAST AND HARD WOWEE WHO FUCKING CARES ABOUT GAME DESIGN
Keep consoomin' that product, kid. Never thoughtfully analyze any of it.

>SOMETHING of an outcry about this
Nobody gives a shit about PC, that's why.

history paints a different picture considering review bombing on steam has been in the news many times, the pc souls games are owned by many people too

the thing about titanfall is it was really bad PR for respawn and it's continuing to be. it's also a genuine security flaw, and people are playing on a third party client now because the official shit is literally unsafe and could give script kiddies a chance to infect your computer with some malware.
just hosting servers is incredibly easy, the problem is you do indeed need manpower on it. you need people involved in security of it, scaling, and general administration. if theyre not gaining much from older games' multiplayer, it's not worth the risk of someone potentially creating a security nightmare. hence why console's got it, because that is far, far more unlikely to be compromised

REMINDER: youtu.be/n2eos3V7jTI

DaS:PTDE + DSfix + mods = The best version of Dark Souls 1. The DEMASTER butchers the entire aesthetic and atmosphere of the game because of the new dogshit lighting engine. Anyone who disagrees is either hard coping because they can't get a cbeap legit copy of PTDE anymore on PC or just noobs and zoomers who never played PTDE and don't know what they are missing. The DEMASTER is not made by FromSoftware, it is not a FromSoftware game and never will be, if you prefer the DEMASTER, you are not a TRUE FAN of Souls games and FromSoftware.

If it makes PvPfags seethe, I don't care. Wake me up when they start patching bosses out of the games

>review bombing on steam
This either only happens when a game is broken or when the chinese are out for blood

Why'd these tards use dedicated servers instead of making the pvp and messages client side in the first place?

again though, that's not acceptable for the consumer, it isn't an excuse, if you're going to deliver a multiplayer game that game better be available in multiplayer for a long time and not only that they could literally absolve themselves of the responsibility by making these games non online-only and allowing people to host their own servers like we used to in the past

Just use the community patch and the private server, fuckwit.

>dude it's totally cool if corporations breaks my products if it makes retards seethe! very cool!
not very smart
>when a game is broken
yes, like now

Shut the fuck up nostalgiafag who cares
Remastered is fine. Just turn the brightness down one notch from what you would normally have it at.
And the best part: IT JUST WERKS!

>non online-only
or rather held hostage by DRM

i mean its been 6 years since DS3 came out. thats quite a lot of time for a game that's mainly about the singleplayer, no? im going to admit that i havent played a from software game yet, but my assumption was always that the multiplayer was just a side thing that some find to be a nuisance while playing the story, and then some engage in pvp/invades after beating the game. so somewhat minor, no? and ubisoft games like watch dogs have had this kinda thing but it's always just been on the side. or is it actually an integral part of the game? i do know about the bloodstains and messages that people can leave, honestly if they just took a snapshot of those and included it in the game files it could be better

is the switch version passable?

Reminder: This shit won't be fixed until Elden Ring DLC is finished and released

>If it makes PvPfags seethe, I don't care.
Fuck you nigger. PVPfags ruined the online for people who just want to read messages and see bloodstains and white phantoms to make the single player game feel a bit less lonely. I hate PVPfags. PVP was a mistake. I wish invasions were never a feature. I still want my online

The sound is a little crusty but it's okay otherwise

Elden Ring is the one giving them money now so why would they?

>i mean its been 6 years since DS3 came out.
it's been 20 years since unreal tournament came out and people are still playing that perfectly fine
>that's mainly about the singleplayer, no?
co-op is an integral part of the experience to many people i would argue, it's not exactly needed but it does add a lot of fun, i personally only ever enjoyed these games in co-op
>but my assumption was always that the multiplayer was just a side thing that some find to be a nuisance while playing the story, and then some engage in pvp/invades after beating the game.
well it's kind of what you make of it, you can play 80% of it single player i would say but a bunch of covenants are much less of a hassle to interact with if playing online for instance and some people tend to go deep on the pvp and make specific characters for that purpose only

>somehow

Based fan showing his passion

>im going to admit that i havent played a from software game yet
>but I'm going to post about them anyway and make a bunch of incorrect assumptions about the multiplayer component because I'm a retard
please don't do this

>IT JUST WERKS!
It doesn't. It added new bugs and glitches that are unfixed because QLoc and Bandai Scamco scammed low IQ subhumans out of their money.

Games still sell after release on the PC platform, unlike consolefags who only want new shiny thing. I imagine these games sell LESS now that people see the servers have been down for 2 months.

The PVPfag is a pathetic creature really, they zoom through the pve content the first time they play. Then they make a lower level character and mule in every weapon and item (cheating) and stomp on players who have no chance. They do this for 1000s of hours, even making youtube channels where they act like they''re so good killing new players going through the game.

I wholeheartedly agree with this, a huge part of the playerbase will never understand this feel.

i see. ive only learned that you can even play the game coop a few days ago. i always assumed it was just a random fun thing but i can understand being annoyed if it's more important to the experience
except i didnt make any assumptions, i was asking questions, and other user filled me in. this is how conversations work, dont be a turbo autist

DS3 came out 6 years ago, Souls sales don't matter anymore and it's in their best interest that Souls fans buy Elden Ring now.

They killed the pvp so you'd all migrate to elden ring. I'm glad you all ended up suffering.

>NOOO DON'T INVADE ME, YOU'RE RUINING THE EXPERIENCE OF READING HORSE BUT HOLE MESSAGES FOR THE 50TH TIME

Reminder that if it wasn't for PVP the servers would still be up.
Ostracize all PVPniggers from the community. Make it known that their kind is to blame and that they are not welcome. Tell them to play a real fighting game

>i see. ive only learned that you can even play the game coop a few days ago. i always assumed it was just a random fun thing but i can understand being annoyed if it's more important to the experience
it really is important, you can play the game in co-op the whole way through is the thing, not only that there's a bunch of covenants that depend on co-op and / or helping people in pvp and defending them from invaders in order to get 1 of the 30 "covenant currency" you need to progress, these can be farmed in single player but it's incredibly painful and shit to do so

>PC is the largest market for Souls
What? They're first and foremost console games.

Community servers wouldn't fix the RCE

That doesn't mean they don't sell more on PC. They sell the most on PC.

good, you've explained why the company would do this, you haven't explained why the consumer should accept it

>folks going back to the older games after elden will do so for the main game/story and not the multiplayer side content
You have no fucking clue what you're talking about you utter mongoloid, why are you even commenting on a topic you have no knowledge on?
There's a reason why DS3 still had tens of thousands of active Steam players every day right until the servers were shut down and it wasn't pvefags, it was the multi-player scene that kept that game alive for almost 6 years.
The main reason people replay these games repeatedly is to make pvp builds.

You already bought it, what can you do about it now?

Who cares? It's such a miniscule chance. And if it were up to me, my custom server just wouldn't even have invasions, or at least an option to toggle them off. They really add nothing to the experience whereas co-op and messages do

Do you have stock in Kadokawa or why do you excuse their lazy greed by saying "but it makes them more money if they're lazy and greedy!"?

never cared about pvp, get a grip nigger

>Remastered
Jesus Christ user have some self respect, get the switch version which is the only one they still sell with the not shit graphics

generate negative press through review bombing and not buying any future games

pcgamesn.com/elden-ring/eu-sales
The PC version accounted for 44% of sales in Europe, we don't know about the rest of the world.
That said, Europe tends to be a fairly balanced market in terms of PC vs. console sales. The US and Japan are more console-oriented, while China is almost 100% PC.

Piratechads win again

PVP-cucks ruined the nice asynchronous multiplayer elements for everyone who just wants to get the intended experience in these games. It's just not the same without messages and bloodstains. Fuck PVP

>30 fps (at best) at a resolution worse than phones from a decade ago, with extremely compressed audio
No thanks.

You're right, it wouldn't, Blue Sentinels did though
