I got Night Reign along with the wife to play together, as we did a co-op play of ER together (the base game anyhow) thinking this was going to be casual friendly and more like the Dragon Age MP. Combat is not an issue, but the frantic run around and ignore most of the content is completely opposite of the ER experience we liked. And PUGs are all fucking cancer. "Oh I am level 2 lets go to the castle immediately" or dropping out after their fucking story mission. Had one guy drop at the fucking start of a day two boss and so many fucked runs because someone wanders off and dies to the fire getting stuck in a random tunnel.

They need a casual mode with relaxed timers but vastly thinned rewards. ER got the numbers it did through wide appeal. This is just MMO appeal to the top players shit going on right now and a lot of people who came from ER are going to be really disappointed in this.

Yea try the MP mod for ER. NR is definitely a certain type of game that will not appeal to most people looking for the typical fromsoft experience.

You really have to learn the meta and learn how to zoom.

Or be a God gamer and solo every boss with 3x HP and a white weapon like Ambiturner Ambiturner

Totally agreed. Nightreign didn't have any of what made ER great, and felt more like ER: The Arcade Game, a totally different game with some asset-reuse. As a mega Fromsoft dude, I gave it a couple days and gave up.

The co-op you did of ER with the wife, was that a "pass the controller back and forth" / hang out while playing situation, or did you actually multiplayer your way through it? Wondering how feasible it is to do a co-play of that game where you're consistently playing together without much fuss. I presume it requires two TVs and two systems, or two computers/monitors. But I also I thought it only let you do that for dungeons/bosses.

I memba split screen.

We played on side by side consoles. We have three tvs in our bedroom, which we nicknamed the reality deprivation chamber.
