Dark Souls 2 had battle royale: summon every single guy at the Iron Keep bridge and Chamaleon away.

He would ‘love’ the potential, inevitable, monetization.

Battle royale is a piss poor FPS mode type. It injects so much luck and rng into an otherwise skill heavy genre.
arachnoides
Nah PUBG is incredibly difficult with a very high standard of quality in the player base. It is highly based on skill.
vonusaur
They’d have to fix the pvp so it’s actually reliable first.
roadsign
That would required them to have good netcode. Quite unprecedent for japanese games.
Damiv
The only good thing about BR games is they keep the kids out of the real games.
IamMeWasTaken
You know which genre can really be imbued with a sense of lurking fantasy, exploring humanity and praising western legends? BATTLE ROYALE
MrTay
This sounds like a good idea until I remember that dark souls multiplayer was terrible it was fun but connection and balance were awful.
Meilkor
Just dark souls with even MORE raiding
PenguinTacos69
Cant wait to get killed by lag over and over
SeismicCoin
i played fortnite exactly one time, and the reason i quit was because i found and killed a person immediately after landing, only to die >>>
inexplicably 2 full seconds later and teleport 90 feet away to where i landed, only to see the guy i killed walking off with my shotgun.
Thiccups
These games have been around a while now, and I STILL think of the movie Battle Royale, every damn time. Momentary excitement.
KnightWhoSaidNi
It's only after reading your comment, I realize op didn't mean the old Battle Royale
dominiklapierre360
You mean hunger game?

BR came out almost 10 years before The Hunger Games did.

Woolytop
I mean... Wasn't the plot of Battle Royale basically a battle royale game? Isn't that why they're called that?
Of course. I'm simply saying to me, and my circle of jerks, 'battle royale' automatically connects to the movie. Not the recent game trend.
TheIdiotSandwich
So for honor battle royale

ReaperCDN
LOL "talents." Glitchy hit boxes, clunky combat controls, and enemies who are almost universally stronger and faster than you in every way/1
Artificial difficulty isn't difficulty. That's why the "hard" Mario Brothers game is called Super Mario frustration. It creates challenge /2
by artificially inflating skills through the use of pointless memorization. Once you've seen where the invisible obstacle is, you make a /3
note of it and then dismiss it forever as a challenge. That doesn't make something hard. Same with DS. Memorize patterns, easy wins. /4
That isn't how you make a game difficult.

I said it before and will say it again: why make good games when you can just make a br and get easy moneyz. Fuck this industry
Everything going down the drain
PerryCoxMD
I mean, money is money. While I don't enjoy every game I've worked on - I know at the end of the day without sales I'm out of a job.
I mean, it's fine if they want to cater to stockholders, but it makes for a boring af gaming landscape. Mina's started it.
Mobas... Fucking autocorrect
birthdaybaboon
Making a popular game and a good game are nonexclusive.
Yes, no doubt about that. But having basically the same game makes for a boring gaming landscape.
Finrau
So a darksouls better done and supported "for honor" ?
Rips4w
Because the Battle Royale game style's popularity is due to it being absolutely terrible and boring.
tehsquee
Someone is bad at multiplayer games and it makes them salty.
Someone's really fucking bad at catching extremely obvious sarcasm.
Anincrediblelyfunhorse
SayoKel
Just like Dark Souls
Iankill
Its popular i think due to lack of accountability unlike other competitive games. Its easy to write off losing not so much in 1v1 games
Gcleff
But when you taste that sweet victory...
MrShoez
Most of the time when you lose in BR it is 1v1 situations, unless you're dying way early in a populated area.
My point is its easier to write that off in BR game than it is in a fighting game. Same thing happened with mobas and competitive RTS
DarkSock
The battle royale genre has done to video games what shitty “reality TV“ has done to television; it’s a cheap cop-out by developers.
ragekritz
Eh yes and no. It's just another game mode, that is fun to many, it's not going away entirely, but it will diminish to being less of a thing
Jenvas
Survival crafting game. After Minecraft they came like a plague
FadenJ
JessieJanson
They will get bored of it eventually.
BoozeHound001
If it's a copy paste sure, but look at apex. It adds quite a few new mechanics so as long as it's iterated on it can be good. (that being 1
said I don't like apex for a few reasons but i do see the quality of the overall game and how they improved on it)
Freeflare
Nah. That was sandbox games. This is just a more violent extension.
PatrikLilja
IF you make a proper game, and allow mods. Battle royale mode would probably be a popular mod for good games. 1/2
It would work as an extra game mode. But games based on that as their only game mode are plain and simply cheap 2/3
All the technical elements of the game engine are there to allow team deathmatch, and other game modes. But they chose to limit themselves.
mdzmdz
I miss the variety that QWTF had - Hunted (Kill/Defend the "President"), Spaz Ball ("Football"), CivSaw etc.
What do you think is better about defusing a bomb?
ShiftingPattern
Arguably that the engagements are more controlled/focused/balanced with less downtime. What BR offers is unique engagements. Worth it imo.
I've had some crazy engagements in Apex Legends where a third, fourth, and fifth squad join a fight in progress and trying to flank... fun.
RogueVector
You then see those videos they have on r/apexlegends where they get to a fight late and sees like 30 death boxes on the ground.
JustDontCare
Some games do it really well, I really enjoy Apex legends for example. But many games defo convert their mechanics into a BR on the cheap.
I you make a proper game, with different game modes. Battle royale mode would probably be a popular mode for good games. 1/3
All the technical elements of the game engine are there to allow all types of other game modes, but they refuse. 2/3
Does anyone remember first unreal tournaments and all its game modes? Assault, team deatmatch, capture the flag, etc. 3/4
But nah, nowadays it is all about making a single game mode. Nobody would complain if battle royale was just one game mode of several 4/4
DanniLuxgarbe
*cough*FORTNITE:BATTLE ROYALE*cough* I want my 60 dollars back... or for them to actually fucking release Save the World as a f2p so /1
there are players in the PvE maps again.

erickwhite9
Pvp is easily the worst part of the dark souls series

BlankMage
As someone who played it entirely for the PvE, I lost every single PvP fight I was in when I just wanted a hand beating the smelter demon.
Nothing in the game prepares you for a naked spellcaster who specced his entire character to kill you specifically.
removekarling
If it's laggy, yeah. If it's not, it's amazing. Got matched with someone who it turns out lived only 30 minutes away, could tell right (1)
away in game that he must be very close because the hitboxes were fucking perfect, with zero delay and so smooth.
DapperLordDestral
I love hitting people in the face with soul arrows all day only to have none of them connect. Invigorating.
TheClockworkBird
“Super” popular opinion here, but dark souls 2 pvp worked pretty damn well.
I don't know what it is about 2 but I just don't have fun playing. I've beaten it twice and have had to force myself to finish both times.
You’ll like sekiro then. No multiplayer
JustBoone
That's only if you consider killing the host victory. Nay back in the Demons souls days we had the scraping spear and would just break gear!
Those were dark times.
Imagine having to fix 10k equipment when you only have access to 2-1 and 1-2.
BARRIIICADEtv
So many casuals in here
AWitlessIdiot
Wrong
Dekkonot
Just because Dark Souls 2 had good PvP doesn't mean the other games did smh
I enjoyed 1 a lot. Yes its back stab fest but once you learn the "tech" its a good game of bait and miss games
"Once you learn to avoid the absolute bullshit mechanics and glitches, It's good fun." Jokes aside though, to each their own I guess.
I totally get the hate I enjoyed it. Believe it or not the glitches and crappy mechanics add layers to PvP. Game would be All R1 spam
Good job moving the goal post of the original argument to better defend your shitty position. Still wrong though
"Oh your a mile away, let me back stab you anyway"
LoTRFanatic42
*points down*
*deep voice* thank you
*throws dung pie*
Mantler
netcode and no dedicated servers is the worst part of pvp in dark souls.
NotaVinci
Sounds like someone has a bad connection
TheWorstCommentsComeFromTheBestPeople
I would say the worst part is making your character. Almost made one that look kinda human once
Freakingdoomguy
I once made Michael Jackson In bloodborne, it was terrifying
bernlack
In Bloodborne, I wanted to make my guy look like he was smiling. Ended up making him really fucking pissed.
So ugly the bosses dont want to touch you with their weapons
ThatRandomCanadian
"You should smile more"
All I wanted was a smile
MrBiggles1123
I understand your perspective. People who want just a co-op experience dread invasions, and those who want single-player hop offline. I =>
=> It's a thrill to beat someone else in a fight, but I had more fun after I beat the game, not when PVP was jumping into my co-op.
ColonyOfBirchmen
Damn straight. PVP in DS is awesome, but sometimes we just wanna co-op.
Do-op in dark souls sucks it’s all centered around single player. I’d argue that even ornstein and enough is centered around one player.
Smough*
Co-Op had some scaling for everything, but not enough to match the single-player campaign's experience. Co-Op is the tutorial.
secondarypotato
Battle royal dark souls style. Would actually be pretty amazing.
RevArtillery
There is literally a ffa mode in DS3
PoppinLochNessHopster
Given how laggy pvp combat is in the souls games I kind of doubt it. Melee combat with 250+ms delay is ass.
Shit at that point you're just trying to survive the enviornment longer than everyone else o.0
Kaelthoss
Have you ever PvPd in dark souls? The environment isnt nearly as threatening as that dark spirit with 99 strength coming for your butthole
Lol only once. I would imagine br would be a more even playing field. Maaaybe
kitsunefoxchaos
It would be a a living hell, but an amazing one
CityYeti
Having a huge map, with lots of corners to hide behind. Cliffs to look down on and spot people on. If the maps were outstanding, it would
Win everything
Datmurdaa
If you had to loot all your gear and run through a maps with traps, rough terrain and NPC's guarding good loot. That would be awesome
giraffeburger
Dodging intensifies
TheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles
I just want something more fantasy based with heavy melee combat instead of lots of guns because my aim is garbage as I get older.

i am also having trouble in apex legends lol

Yeah. Only played 3, but don't the unkindled beat on each other pretty much 24/7?

Primaldirectory010
might actually play that one
wwwcarlosedujr24
Actually,quantum mechanics forbids this
Just join the way of blue in ds3 and afk somewhere. You'll get summoned to gangbangs all the time. The key is caestus only
Hyero
Caestus works really well, but unless they've nerfed the ultra poise of the wolf ring and pickaxe I don't know if it will counter it well.
swellguy18
Please no. Let's keep dark souls pure of this trend as long as possible. :(
SupaCabra
Well, this is your lucky day! 5 years later they made elden ring nightreign
Havent seen aBR that adds something to the game apart fromTetris99 Everytime I think"Damn the combat is nice I wish they made a proper game"
lolinips
This, I don't get why people shit on the idea of BR; if it's an implemented on a different style of game so it's more than just a pubg clone
Then who cares if the game has br elements?
KeepYourTangoAndYourFoxtrot
Isn't that just For Honor?
PhallicDischarge
No.
iamdanman
For Honor is not Battle Royale
HaluumTheMad
Darkroot garden, Blight Town, painted world... Anor Londo as the battle field, archers, Everywhere.
Xelbair
Have you seen their netcode? i mean even pubg has a better one and pubg is pretty shitty.
Painkiller1020
How about a goal oriented battle royal. 100 players put at random ends of a maze. With a treasure or boss in the center?
fergesji
But only after getting past a dragon, and retrieving a loved one from the merfolk, am I right?
echonite
Random "rooms" with the fog walls, you enter to see if you get gear or you get a boss.
This would be dope single player tbh
You pick up random gear and weapons along the way and confront enemy fodder and mini bosses.
Either choose to work with or kill other players for their loot. First to make it to the center wins. This sense of urgency would make
Kittynomnoms
You'd have to make it some kind of conscious action to attack, though... Dark Souls co-op with full friendly fire sounds terrible.
There is already a covenant in DS3 that let's you do just that though. I think it would be doable.
The closing circle concept unnecessary. And singles and squad gameplay would still fit the dark souls theme.
The whole thing can be randomly generated bloodborne chalice dungeons style.
cinderspires
don't we already have that with invasion and stuff?
GingerLaird
Nah. Imagine Dark Souls with 100 players.
Well not really. Just imagine that on a mass scale. Would be epic for like 5 minutes. Then everyone would rage quit.
TresusIbor
lag out*
PaintedSlate
Volgax364
Or it’s a really small map so it’s like a LOTR war
MrJacobMan
Sounds like you need to get good bud
Muffyns
large scale battles through hell, maybe dark souls it up by adding the ghost from ds1
How the fuck you gonna find a transient curse?
LOL everyone gets summoned and theres just weapons in the middle. "Fuck! I picked up throwing knives!" As someone is punching you to death
CamelaShy
lets be real, there's gonna be at least 1 naked guy fisting everyone to death still.
GermanSausageIsTheWurst
You can just punch them back in turn, throwing knives are not a weapon slot.
Yeah but then someone comes running in with Vordt's Hammer and smashes you both
ThePotatoBandit
It sounds like fun. The enclosing storm, w/the Dark souls hostile level design, and the combat mechanics. Question is what to do about magic
DallasMcMallas
Dark bead op
EternalAzhrei
I'd want the hostile level design to be so bad that boobs wouldn't get to see enemy players. Also, winner HAS to make fibal circle, so (1)
(2) if all 100 people die before final circle, nobody wins.
Se7enPr1me
I think the magic just needs to be reworked. Some of the spells like soul greatsword are pretty balanced if you ask me
thatssirtoyou
no
peconomusman1337
Gitgood
Maybe with npc enemies about the map to interfere with your fights against other players.
onikame
Can you imagine, the storm closes in around a massive, tall tower, and everyone has to fight their way to the top.
Zigor22
No, I have enough problems with naked guys invading my world and killing me at inopportune times.
Dragoonasaurus
You could probably leave magic in. Just go with the atonement slots with limited casts rather than a mana bar. Gotta have mimics though.
Shelest
STORM IS MIMICS
Do they drop loot?
Yes. Which is also mimics.
Or thy all drop symbol of Avarice.
shmoogeeoogee
Upvote for mimics
Krympehl
environmental deaths should be allowed and a single black knight to top off at the end
razielangelus
The storm is not a storm. Just approaching archers. Get caught outside and BLAM 42 log sized arrows.
Honestly it would just be the abyss
Covenant of Artorias ring OP.
SandpaperCock
And not just any arrows. Millwood greatbow arrows. BOOM
Phew, I dodged, looks like I'm saf- *BOOM*
Gevoloholobodoyo
*body flies off tree branch path* YOU DIED
Kronicedge
Okay we need this...
yogoo0
No it should be the skeletons and skellydogs from the ds1 tombs. And divine won't stop the resurrection
What about both? Archers are the storm, in the enclosing clouds reigning down lightning strikes
youknowthatonepersonwiththeface
The enclosing clouds are the battle between the dragons and the 4 gods in DS1

ElbowdeepinElmo
Black Desert Online, I presume.
Imagine dungeons. The concept would even allow for running dungeons without the usual tank/healer/DPS trio, since it'd be skill-based. (2/2)
BiliboyJenkins
Invictus is/was like that, not quite as hardcore. I only played for a few days but i remember it was kinda fun.
NoeCarrier
Dark Souls is already an MMO. Didn't you get your soapstone?
baddrunkneighbor
I would not go so far as to call dark souls an mmo. While there is a multiplayer aspect, the majority of the game is not based on it.
MoistenedPenguin
Multiplayer =/= MMO. MMO implies massively multiplayer online gameplay, not like 5 people in one game tops.
Which is unfortunately the direction a lot of MMOs are taking as well. Small party sizes.

I enjoyed 1 a lot. Yes its back stab fest but once you learn the "tech" its a good game of bait and miss games
Dekkonot
"Once you learn to avoid the absolute bullshit mechanics and glitches, It's good fun." Jokes aside though, to each their own I guess.
PennFifteen
I totally get the hate I enjoyed it. Believe it or not the glitches and crappy mechanics add layers to PvP. Game would be All R1 spam
AWitlessIdiot
Good job moving the goal post of the original argument to better defend your shitty position. Still wrong though

netcode and no dedicated servers is the worst part of pvp in dark souls.
NotaVinci
Sounds like someone has a bad connection
TheWorstCommentsComeFromTheBestPeople
I would say the worst part is making your character. Almost made one that look kinda human once
Freakingdoomguy
I once made Michael Jackson In bloodborne, it was terrifying
bernlack
In Bloodborne, I wanted to make my guy look like he was smiling. Ended up making him really fucking pissed.
TheWorstCommentsComeFromTheBestPeople
So ugly the bosses dont want to touch you with their weapons
ThatRandomCanadian
"You should smile more"
bernlack
All I wanted was a smile
MrBiggles1123
I understand your perspective. People who want just a co-op experience dread invasions, and those who want single-player hop offline. I =>
MrBiggles1123
=> It's a thrill to beat someone else in a fight, but I had more fun after I beat the game, not when PVP was jumping into my co-op.
ColonyOfBirchmen
Damn straight. PVP in DS is awesome, but sometimes we just wanna co-op.
theGildedDanMan
Do-op in dark souls sucks it’s all centered around single player. I’d argue that even ornstein and enough is centered around one player.
theGildedDanMan
Smough*
MrBiggles1123
Co-Op had some scaling for everything, but not enough to match the single-player campaign's experience. Co-Op is the tutorial.
secondarypotato
Battle royal dark souls style. Would actually be pretty amazing.
RevArtillery
There is literally a ffa mode in DS3
PoppinLochNessHopster
Given how laggy pvp combat is in the souls games I kind of doubt it. Melee combat with 250+ms delay is ass.
Gcleff
Shit at that point you're just trying to survive the enviornment longer than everyone else o.0
Kaelthoss
Have you ever PvPd in dark souls? The environment isnt nearly as threatening as that dark spirit with 99 strength coming for your butthole
Gcleff
Lol only once. I would imagine br would be a more even playing field. Maaaybe
kitsunefoxchaos
It would be a a living hell, but an amazing one
CityYeti
Having a huge map, with lots of corners to hide behind. Cliffs to look down on and spot people on. If the maps were outstanding, it would
CityYeti
Win everything
Datmurdaa
If you had to loot all your gear and run through a maps with traps, rough terrain and NPC's guarding good loot. That would be awesome
giraffeburger
Dodging intensifies
TheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles
I just want something more fantasy based with heavy melee combat instead of lots of guns because my aim is garbage as I get older.
BUTTNGR
i am also having trouble in apex legends lol
Kennoot
Yeah. Only played 3, but don't the unkindled beat on each other pretty much 24/7?

Imagine a battle Royale, 100 players, only one dungeon or battle arena. And a boss, to add extra challenge. Chaos, perfect for dark souls.
CorneliusCornwall

Primaldirectory010
might actually play that one
wwwcarlosedujr24
Actually,quantum mechanics forbids this
Kaelthoss
Just join the way of blue in ds3 and afk somewhere. You'll get summoned to gangbangs all the time. The key is caestus only
Hyero
Caestus works really well, but unless they've nerfed the ultra poise of the wolf ring and pickaxe I don't know if it will counter it well.
swellguy18
Please no. Let's keep dark souls pure of this trend as long as possible. :(
SupaCabra
Well, this is your lucky day! 5 years later they made elden ring nightreign
IamMeWasTaken
Havent seen aBR that adds something to the game apart fromTetris99 Everytime I think"Damn the combat is nice I wish they made a proper game"
lolinips
This, I don't get why people shit on the idea of BR; if it's an implemented on a different style of game so it's more than just a pubg clone
lolinips
Then who cares if the game has br elements?
KeepYourTangoAndYourFoxtrot
Isn't that just For Honor?
PhallicDischarge
No.
iamdanman
For Honor is not Battle Royale
HaluumTheMad
Darkroot garden, Blight Town, painted world... Anor Londo as the battle field, archers, Everywhere.
Xelbair
Have you seen their netcode? i mean even pubg has a better one and pubg is pretty shitty.
Painkiller1020
How about a goal oriented battle royal. 100 players put at random ends of a maze. With a treasure or boss in the center?
fergesji
But only after getting past a dragon, and retrieving a loved one from the merfolk, am I right?
echonite
Random "rooms" with the fog walls, you enter to see if you get gear or you get a boss.
theGildedDanMan
This would be dope single player tbh
Painkiller1020
You pick up random gear and weapons along the way and confront enemy fodder and mini bosses.
Painkiller1020
Either choose to work with or kill other players for their loot. First to make it to the center wins. This sense of urgency would make
Kittynomnoms
You'd have to make it some kind of conscious action to attack, though... Dark Souls co-op with full friendly fire sounds terrible.
Painkiller1020
There is already a covenant in DS3 that let's you do just that though. I think it would be doable.
Painkiller1020
The closing circle concept unnecessary. And singles and squad gameplay would still fit the dark souls theme.
Painkiller1020
The whole thing can be randomly generated bloodborne chalice dungeons style.
cinderspires
don't we already have that with invasion and stuff?
GingerLaird
Nah. Imagine Dark Souls with 100 players.
secondarypotato
Well not really. Just imagine that on a mass scale. Would be epic for like 5 minutes. Then everyone would rage quit.
TresusIbor

Volgax364
Or it’s a really small map so it’s like a LOTR war
Applepotamus
MrJacobMan
Sounds like you need to get good bud
Muffyns
large scale battles through hell, maybe dark souls it up by adding the ghost from ds1
theGildedDanMan
How the fuck you gonna find a transient curse?
Kaelthoss
LOL everyone gets summoned and theres just weapons in the middle. "Fuck! I picked up throwing knives!" As someone is punching you to death
CamelaShy
lets be real, there's gonna be at least 1 naked guy fisting everyone to death still.
GermanSausageIsTheWurst
You can just punch them back in turn, throwing knives are not a weapon slot.
Kaelthoss
Yeah but then someone comes running in with Vordt's Hammer and smashes you both
ThePotatoBandit
It sounds like fun. The enclosing storm, w/the Dark souls hostile level design, and the combat mechanics. Question is what to do about magic
DallasMcMallas
Dark bead op
EternalAzhrei
I'd want the hostile level design to be so bad that boobs wouldn't get to see enemy players. Also, winner HAS to make fibal circle, so (1)
EternalAzhrei
(2) if all 100 people die before final circle, nobody wins.
Se7enPr1me
I think the magic just needs to be reworked. Some of the spells like soul greatsword are pretty balanced if you ask me
thatssirtoyou
no
peconomusman1337

arachnoides
Maybe with npc enemies about the map to interfere with your fights against other players.
onikame
Can you imagine, the storm closes in around a massive, tall tower, and everyone has to fight their way to the top.
Zigor22
No, I have enough problems with naked guys invading my world and killing me at inopportune times.
Dragoonasaurus
You could probably leave magic in. Just go with the atonement slots with limited casts rather than a mana bar. Gotta have mimics though.
Shelest
STORM IS MIMICS
theGildedDanMan
Do they drop loot?
Shelest
Yes. Which is also mimics.
theGildedDanMan
Or thy all drop symbol of Avarice.
shmoogeeoogee
Upvote for mimics
Krympehl
environmental deaths should be allowed and a single black knight to top off at the end
razielangelus
The storm is not a storm. Just approaching archers. Get caught outside and BLAM 42 log sized arrows.
shmoogeeoogee
Honestly it would just be the abyss
theGildedDanMan
Covenant of Artorias ring OP.
SandpaperCock
And not just any arrows. Millwood greatbow arrows. BOOM
Beezlebubble
Phew, I dodged, looks like I'm saf- *BOOM*
Gevoloholobodoyo

Kronicedge
Okay we need this...
yogoo0
No it should be the skeletons and skellydogs from the ds1 tombs. And divine won't stop the resurrection
ThePotatoBandit
What about both? Archers are the storm, in the enclosing clouds reigning down lightning strikes
youknowthatonepersonwiththeface
The enclosing clouds are the battle between the dragons and the 4 gods in DS1

The original battle royal. Cant remember the name of the movie but it was the ground work of the whole idea.

DarkUranium
I've always been rather fond of the idea of an MMO with Dark Souls' combat. I know it couldn't be a Dark Souls in atmosphere, though. (1/?)
UndeadKerman
BDO is what you are looking for.
whyiseveryothernametakenbruh
No. No it is not
kindofacat
In what world lmao
UndeadKerman
In this world
ElbowdeepinElmo
Black Desert Online, I presume.
DarkUranium
Imagine dungeons. The concept would even allow for running dungeons without the usual tank/healer/DPS trio, since it'd be skill-based. (2/2)
BiliboyJenkins
Invictus is/was like that, not quite as hardcore. I only played for a few days but i remember it was kinda fun.
NoeCarrier
Dark Souls is already an MMO. Didn't you get your soapstone?
baddrunkneighbor
I would not go so far as to call dark souls an mmo. While there is a multiplayer aspect, the majority of the game is not based on it.
MoistenedPenguin
Multiplayer =/= MMO. MMO implies massively multiplayer online gameplay, not like 5 people in one game tops.
Kittynomnoms
Which is unfortunately the direction a lot of MMOs are taking as well. Small party sizes.
