You can click someone's Messenger notes to tongue but hole

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So ok, I'm still not understanding the co-op stuff. I didn't really play the other Souls type games so I'm new here.

So me and a buddy want to play the game through co-op. Like, all of it. Is that possible, or only on bosses?

Game looks so good tho omg

 

[Jimmyfenix]

So pretty much business as usual, except now you can easily co-op with whoever you want. I can see there being a 'GAF watchword' or other online communities using them for more than just playing with one person. But I dunno, I have fun summoning random people and vice versa.

i can't wait for people to share their dungeons as well

 

[ironcreed]

Tongue but hole? Wat

Yeah, I was about to ask this as well. LOL.

 

[Scrawnton]

Tongue but hole?! Ohh that translation....

 

[ced]

[AlterOdin]

Sounds like a great evolution of PVP mechanics of previous titles.

You can also toss some salads. (LOL!!, I really laughed to much at this)

I'm pretty sure the display box picture is from a Reddit user, and the 4chan guy is just using it to troll.

Thanks I updated it.

People combined messages to sound like sexual things in Dark Souls

You summon someone and they stay with you until you beat the level's boss.

You can play the whole game in coop, but you can only summon people in areas where you haven't killed bosses yet, so you can't really play through the entire game in coop since there's some backtracking involved.

 

[Orniletter]

tongue butthole you say...

 

[BigDug13]

So watchwords are so you can co-op with friends specifically instead of forced randoms?

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

OMG It can't come soon enough!

 

[Oxnard Montalvo]

Have they said anything about whether or not they allow party chat?

 

[jonno394]

I can turn off invasions right?

 

[Mendrox]

HOLY SHIT. I CANNOT CONTAIN MY HYPE.

I took vacation in that time too... so I will stream the game for 48 hours with some giveaways! Please join me then: www.twitch.tv/videogamesforu

The IQ looks too nice, but hopefuly the FPS won't drop often... well if it won't it won't be a "Souls" game for consoles.

 

[Panda Rin]

Tongue but hole?! Ohh that translation....

It's a joke!

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

You guys seriously have never seen tongue but hole or alternatives? Those messages were everwhere in DS2.

 

[Stone Ocean]

You can play offline for that, but you won't have access to any network features.

 

[Grewitch]

Excuse me? What am I reading? Daddy's not into that, sugar.

 

[ced]

No, can play offline though. It sounds like the invasions will be a bit less random now.

Ohhh, I see. Thanks for the clarification! Can't wait to dive into this.

Looks that way!

But helping randoms is the best

 

[Nameless]

I can turn off invasions right?

Yes, by putting sword to purpose on an invader's head.

 

[marrec]

You guys are making jokes but it's about damn time that FROM SOFT lets me tongue but hole. This mechanic is easily the most requested from the community.

The rest of the PVP/Co-OP stuff looks about what you'd expect.

Despite my hate for the Souls series I'm super looking forward to this game.

 

[Lumination]

Maybe I would've gotten the joke if DS2 was better

Spoiler

hhehehehehheeh

 

[ahoyhoy]

OH MY GOOOOOOD.

I need a PS4 SO BADLY

AAAAAAARGH

 

[GulAtiCa]

Oooh, looking forward to co-op/invasions.

Really hope the "soul memory" or however they do it in this case is improved, was a little annoying in DS2.

 

[dugdug]

Hosts can use Parting Shot to evict an invader

I hope something like this has limited uses, or a cooldown. Being forced to face an invader was one of the most tense parts of the Souls games.

Man up and fight.

 

[VinFTW]

Omg so close I can almost taste the blood...


...

 

[hydrophilic attack]

[*]Hosts can use Parting Shot to evict an invader, and invasions will also end if the invader dies or the host enters a boss area.
[*]

I don't like the sound of this. I hope this a misunderstanding, or that parting shots are very rare.

Something tells me it will have some sort of charge-up or something. As in, it will leave you wide open or can be easily dodged or something.

Ah, okay. Can't say I ever ran across that one, lol.

Or run and hope invader falls and dies, I think it's a consumable, there is a picture on the JP blog of two items.

Probably be quite slow/easy to dodge, and rare.

 

[PaulKersey]

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING (if it works in the way I'm thinking it does)

Yup. Sounds awesome. My brother might get this and he's not played any Souls game so it's nice if we can pair up easily.

 

[tcrunch]

Btw this one is still untranslated afaik (aside from Google Translate which is...you know...) if any Japanese speakers want to try

https://www.jp.playstation.com/blog/detail/240/20150306_bloodborne.html

It might not be any new area information vs. what is already on the JP site, but it was posted today and has some Q&A.

 

[73V3N]

The IQ is really nice, hope it's nearly like that when it's released. The Color of the red phantom is also really nice

are we looking at the same screenshots?

 

[viveks86]

So has anyone who knows Japanese figured out what tongue but hole actually refers to? Lol

 

[-MD-]

I'm gonna be playing without PS+, hope I won't miss out on too much.

 

[Nameless]

here we go

It'll probably be hard to use

 

[sheepishlord]

"You invaded _____"

...

"_____ sent you home"

Say it ain't so.

 

[Santar]

You can only generate a dungeon online
Great, another feature that will be gone forever once Sony inevitably decide to take down the servers.
Why on earth couldn't they let us do this offline?

 

[è£ ç”²æ‚ªé¬¼æ‘æ­£]

You need PS+ for pretty much every multiplayer function? That's disappointing.

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

For those with experience on playing co op in souls games.
Will it be more difficult to play coop with people on your friends list, or easier?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Really bummed about the ps+ requirements. Ah well, hope this turns out great since it's the only thing interesting me on the PS4 for a while.

 

[Audioboxer]

here we go

A title from From with a stable/locked framerate is going to be better than all the pretties. Helps that the artstyle of this game rocks, and it is quite pretty as it is.

 

[Ferr986]

Are we sure about this?

In the Chalice Dungeon you may see "illusions" of other players in the same part of the dungeon (this is different from the network test alpha where you could see illusions anywhere, this point implies they will only exist in CD).

This pic is new, and shows an illusion in the city area
