People should’ve known these things going into it but hopefully the bad reviews should push fromsoftware to make the duo mode quicker.

    Wow, I guess I assumed that I misunderstood something before launch because it was hard to believe they would make a multiplayer game that needed 3 people but wouldnt work with two but here we are. What a move.

      you can queue with a single friend, you’ll just get another random player. which is not ideal, but probably not back breaking either, unless there is some stupid way to grief other players.

      some of the steam reviews made me think that i literally can’t queue with a friend unless we are three people.

        After playing last night, it’s not back breaking to queue up but it’s full body cast inducing getting a “bad” third player because there’s no forfeit method and you can’t even intentionally spike the run until the first boss.

      I made the same assumption, but I believe they stated it officially shortly after the game was first announced. Still dumb as hell though.

      I guess they couldn’t balance the experience around two players, but I still would prefer the option to try it.
