Dreakon139 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I don't really know much about how the multiplayer works in this game, but... My brother wants to get a PS3 and this game. This works out pretty well since I already have a PS3 (and not the game, but I might consider it). I'm kind of wondering how the multiplayer works in this game, and if it's functional enough that me and him can both get the game and play together whenever we feel like it? From what I've heard, it sounds like you can encounter others online kind of randomly and they can kind of choose whether or not to help or hinder you? Is that right? Is there any way to guarantee that you'll play with a certain individual? Like in the case of me and my brother wanting to play together? Thanks!

Like in the case of me and my brother wanting to play together? Thanks! No... if you are able to hook up with your brother it would be a random chance situation... they made the servers random selection so that it would be harder... I have tried a handful of times to link up with a few of my friends but had no luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreakon139 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Still a good game though Yeah, probably lol. I have enough of them to last me a little while though. This would be more of a 'this is the only game me and my brother share a similar interest in with any kind of multiplayer mode' kind of thing. He has relatively picky taste and ours don't match up very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Like piggie said, the MP in this game has been fucked since day-one. The latest patch, 1.05 was supposed to make it better, and a handful of people have had success (multiple times) pairing up with particular folks. I am hoping to give it a try with a couple of people soon (assuming they're willing) so I'll let you know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice a difference but i heard it got better for some people... all of my friends have far surpassed me in level so i have no chance of co-oping with them anyway, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focus your souls on your gear and spells (especially if you're a pyro) instead of leveling and you'll become a power house in no time. As long as your stats are high enough to actually wield your weapon of choice then I'd strongly recommend concentrating on strengthening equipment above all else. I finished my first playthrough at lvl. 69 with no problems by doing it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beat Anor Londo at level 40-ish... Like Skids said, if you have the right equipment leveled up you should do fine... but im at a level that i can help you through it if you want...the only problem is that its and invaders dreamland and i suck against invaders... it would be to your benefit to summon more than one person... I wouldn't go into the painting yet because once you go in you can't come out until you beat it (and its not fun to be stuck there trust me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
