It’s genuinely astonishing how terrible they are at making a multiplayer game. Their anti-cheat barely functions, to the point where they had to take three of their games offline for nearly a year because people could take control of your computer through their games. They are so bad at making multiplayer games that it presents an actual security threat for their users.
The vast majority of invaders are smurfs who use endgame equipment to deal half of your health bar in a single hit and the game does more or less nothing to stop this from happening. From Software even somehow managed to pull off something I previously thought was impossible: creating an even worse netcode than Nintendo, ping in the thousands isn’t uncommon and you can experience several seconds of delay while playing multiplayer.
From Software needs to make invasions opt-in or they need to actually create a multiplayer game that isn’t a steaming pile of shit. As it currently stands I think they might be the single worst developer in the entire AAA industry at making multiplayer games.
what about Division mp? or watch dogs mp that always interferes? or other games with mp? i find souls games and elden ring does it well but like watch dogs, it ties into the lore atleast, division pvp area, while it is pvp is just annoying overall and it reveals humanity’s fondness for treachery.
Unlike blizzard, rockstar and ubisoft, atleast fromsoftware had the guts to shut down their online component for months to fix it, how many others would do that? they just slap on some half assed anti cheat that gets cracked in a day or two, i mean gta online is a shit show and you have to use a third party network software to be able to play without that crap, cheaters is like halo’s flood. their spores just infects everything and ruins it
