have they managed to fix the DS1-3 online features yet or are those still down?
they killed OG DS1 PC (i.e. not remastered) but the rest are back up

I mean, I feel like OG DS1, by this point . . . it's so old that if the code isn't tenable to be fixed it's best to keep it down. Especially considering the issue that the online feature had.

oh yeah, i'm not surprised. it's super old, you can't buy it, most of the active player base is on remastered by now. i imagine most people actively playing the original release are modding it and offline.
I'll be playing on ps5, but I assumed the online issues were no longer as problematic? I'm not caught up on the full spread of problems though, but I thought one big one was some kind of PC infiltration.

The DaS1, DaS2 and DaS3 PC servers were taken down for like 10 months? Because there was a remote code execution exploit that let a hacker run code on your machine if you got connected to them via the various ways that happens in Dark Souls.
Constant invasions in Farum Azula when I'm cooping is really starting to bum me out.
The seamless co-op mod was my way out. Bit buggy and janky, and the whole summoning thing and balancing is obviously thrown out of whack, but it meant I could play with my brother on my own fucking terms, instead of someone on wifi with a super meta pvp build and weapon swaps and shit stomping us every time the short invasion pity timer was up.
Unless you’re on console, in which case, my condolences.
Yeah on my PS4, which is really starting to show it's age in terms of how loud that fan runs
I am in the business of saving lives.

NEW FREE-LC ANNOUNCED! Coming tomorrow!!
The Colosseums of Limgrave, Leyndell and Caelid will open their gates, allowing players to engage in battles such as duels, free-for-alls and team fights.
Prove your worth in the free Colosseum Update. Coming December 7.
Same, except without watching on stream. A lot of people will get a kick out of this, which is great and I hope they have fun. I'll be waiting for the single player expansion.
I normally wouldnt but if it is normalized true team and team action like it looks and not team gank fests then I would be intrigued to watch a bit of that.

I spent a lot of time doing arena fights in DS2, might see if I can get into it here.
As an aside, it's real funny to occasionally see a post about PvP and it's just inundated in the same old fighting game complaints from people who don't play fighting games.

That announcement might be the fastest I've ever gone from incredibly excited to completely uninterested, all within one sentence.
I have less than zero interest in PvP modes in anything, but it does make me feel like the actual content I'm going to care about is going to be announced sooner rather than later.

Well I finally beat Malenia to go tame the frenzied flame in me and get back on track for the ending I want. And as predicted I felt no satisfaction whatsoever, because it was just a run when the only time she did Waterfowl she got cancelled by a bleed proc.
I tried out one of the arenas that was just 1v1 with no summons. The game classically doesn't tell you anything about it before you start. So I die the first round, thinking it's over, but respawn and get to keep going! I managed to kill my opponent twice in a row, so I started bowing and clapping thinking it was over, when they respawn and keep coming at me!
It is timer based, so watch out for that, learn from my mistake. Another thing to watch out for is that after killing your opponent your health does not replenish. I don't know if the community has established common guidelines like "no healing during respawn" like they apparently have for general battle, but it's something to be aware of.
Edit to say that I really don't do the PvP at all, so this may already be common knowledge. I'm still playing catch up on all these games.
Never know how award ceremonies are going to go but I didnt see why Elden Ring shouldnt win. Congrats FromSoft well well deserved. I dont think another game even got close. And if there was one it was Stray.

It was definitely PC specific.

I am fairly convinced the "armored core survey leak" was fraudulent, everything else heard about it since has been for sure faked.

Wow, that's even more extreme than I was expecting. That's gone from top tier to completely useless.
Back to bleed/frost spear Icicle strats I guess.
Yeah that card made everything easy mode, it's a good nerf. Although I don't really know what it's for now, with Flaming Strike existing and all.
