@rebound that said I'm not gonna lie, I had an absolute blast going through the bosses, reading and learning about the lore. Bloodborne is still my favourite in so many ways, especially with the Old Hunters dlc. ..

.. and not gonna lie there were some genuine moments of enjoyable pvp, rare though they were. Like this one guy with a seriously specialised pvp one hit kill build based on bloodtinge? Miq spotted the build immediately.

It went VERY BADLY for the invader. like hilariously badly.

@rebound Yeeeppp. they're exremely stressful games. I enjoyed them but oh god i hate the pvp so much. ;; it does NOT do my stress levels any good.

@rebound otherwise, if you or the host you were teaming up with were level 30 or above, bell ringers spawn in the world, and whilever theyr'e alive, invasions can happen. if you kill the bell ringer though, no more invasions happen (after whoever has already invaded is gone of course... and until you die)

@rebound Playing offline, yes, but if you wanted to do coop that wasn't an option. There was no way to completely stop invasions that didn't also stop co-op play. Even in DS3 which had a password system, that just was to help you group up with friends for co-op effectively. Bloodborne was the only one with a genuine "opt out" sort of system? But even then some high level areas were just hardlocked to invasion enabled.

@DarkseedNight@snouts.online I mean not to say I don't like the worms games.
Heck some of my fondest memories of gaming are attached to that series. The original one me and my little brother used to play it LOADS. Worms 2 also was super great fun and my then partner and I used to set CPU controlled opponents on each other and just watch the map with ridiculous weapon settings. It was super entertaining ^^ Worms WMD is actually pretty great too from what I've played??

@DarkseedNight@snouts.online true but that's not an fps? ^^; and I dunno I really like fps games sometimes, but also I def don't like multiplayer FPS for very long at all. which stops me playig stuff like Killing Floor I think. which I own. and have never played.

I have this problem on games where there's "optional" pvp too. I adored Bloodborne and the entire Souls series of games and completed them all but ... any time I got invaded in the Souls games it was horrid. I hated it. my chest got tight, I got shaky, and it didn't stop until quite a while afterwards. I'd inevitably get killed in a really inconvenient place because I just can't compete when I'm like that. I can't stay calm despite my best efforts.

Without co-op I'd never gotten through it.

that's not how you spell logarithmyuc

... lgoa...

EXPONENTIALLY fuck it

...

every so often I see Quake 3 Arena and whatnot on steam or wherever

and Unreal 3/4/2004 etc

and I mean I OWN UT2004 and still have it installed I think with a ton of mods and stuff but

I love the idea of playing it, and sometimes I do? (botmatches only)

but...

I know it would be more fun with people, online, but the problem with that is...

as soon as real people are involved and it's competitive anxiety spikes like a logarythmic scale and I start low grade panicking and it's no fun.

@maple i mean...

none of this is wrong?

also thanks to a conversation on discord with @kyra i am now calling funko pops "fuckno pops" due to an altogether far too wonderful typo

i;m sorry i have to post this now
