Giant Spider has a covenant. You can 'kidnap' / incapacitate other players during invasions to take them into a dungeon in your own world where you play the boss. Players must escape your dungeon and are unable to leave until defeating the area boss (you, or an AI boss if they return offline / disconnect to escape).

Again not sure its real, and if it is I'm not sure how exactly it will work, but this could be fun.

That sounds both loving terrible and loving great at the same time.

I bought my PS4 for Persona and Bloodborne was a nice surprise. But seriously, there's tons to play on the thing. I've only had mine a bit over a week and I've finished The Last of Us and played a bunch of GTA and Valiant Hearts and have a pretty good list of stuff to buy.

There's tons to play..... on PC where it looks better :colbert:

That said, PS4 is okay in my book. Much better UI than Xbone, and infamous second son is turning into an alright game. Not great by any means, but alright. Bloodborne is gonna be the poo poo though.

Killzone sucks balls though. I regret getting it even at massive discount. Anybody who said Killzone has next-gen graphics is loving lying. It has a couple of really cool set pieces and then it settles into pretty generic PS3 style COD action and graphics.

There's no way that's real.

But holy loving poo poo if it was :stare: That'd be the greatest thing. Ratbros, only you get to play as the boss, demon's souls style?! Sign me RIGHT up.

The part that makes me pretty sure its bogus is the "they're trapped until defeating the area boss". I guess if they're allowed to go offline and fight an AI boss, maybe, but that still sounds way too good to be true.

PS4s are awesome. It's my favorite console ever and I'm not even joking about that. Okay maybe the Dreamcast but. The fact that Bloodborne is a big exclusive really sold me on the console. Sony has a ton of problems but the fact that one of their biggest games is a blood dripping spooky slash fest full of wheelchair daddies and werewolves rules. No way Microsoft would ever do that.

But enough about The Order: 1886 :v:

No one cares but I also think it's cool that Sony put out a super cinematic game and an incredibly gamey game within a few months.

Its more different from the rest of the souls games than any other souls game is, but its also more like souls games than anything else.

Its dark souls with some new mechanics and some tweaks on the old ones. But more is the same than different.

Cowboom is probably the cheapest legit way to get a PS4. They are owned by best buy. Look at their current deal of the day.
http://www.cowboom.com/deal-of-the-day.cfm

Granted, that is $230 for a console in 'fair condition' that does not come with a controller. Who knows as to what kind of barely working horror they will actually ship you.

Personally, last week I bought the $393 deal on amazon that came with codes for Last of us remastered, Infamous Second Son and Killzone Shadow Fall. Figure I'll probably play the Last of Us, given how much I hear about it, and the console will probably get used for Persona 5. Maybe Disgaea 5 too. I'll get something else out of it besides Bloodborne. Bloodborne was definitely what tipped it into the shopping cart though.

Sorry I spilled coffee on my keyboard the other day so my W key is broken right no so there are a lot of missing Ws.

I haven't had any problems buying from coboom but you need to be careful because hat is included in the box doesn't alays have a controller. Keep refreshing the site until it shos a controller in the box. The controller ill be the most expensive thing you'll be missing. It's still an alright price even ithout the controller... Controllers go on sale for every no and then for 40 - 45 USD. You can buy used for 40.

Look for this on the coboom site. It should say ireless controller.

If you literally only ant it for bloodbourne this is decently cheap.

once you're at the link the OP posted if you don't see one you like, hit CTL+F5. this will refresh the page and cache meaning it'll bring up a different system. I tried this about 20 min ago and got one with a controller and usb cord. I'm not ordering as i dont' need it but just to see what's available if i were to want one.

Also to note there is no achievement for any covenants, which makes me wonder if there is less of an emphasis on finding all the covenants or if there were scraped some time during development.

And I still can't find a source other than fextralife for my earlier post, but we can still dream. :allears:

Uh, what? In what way is this any different than Dark Souls 1 or 2's trophies? :confused:

You're getting that from nothing, dude. The names of bosses always appear on-screen when you fight them, so its not like that was ever a secret. And knowing names doesn't imply anything about the story.

Its still going to be pretty obscure, most of the "story" in souls games happens before you show up and you're just putting together the pieces and telling your own tales of adventuring through the dungeons. There are some NPCs as always though who say a few things.

I think somebody said earlier that there were 4 or 5 endings but I guess we don't know if that's legit or not. Either way, pretty cool.

No time for the old in-out, love, I've just come to read the meter.
I havent been hyped or cared about this game. Never really bothered about dark souls and never played demon souls.

Though this week as each day passes I feel myself getting more and more excited.

I hope its good and I hope if I buy it it wont make me rage quit. I was poo poo at dark souls but maybe now after the years gone by I might be ready to give that style of game a proper go at it.
