Just tried it out. The pause forces up a plain full screen overlay, no studying enemies in mid-action or what-not.

 

[Opa-Pa]

Well that's nice. I got used to no pause in Demon's Souls so at one point I simply forgot it was a thing, but accessibility options are always an improvement.

The OT for DS3 was "Why can't we poise the game?"

(Poise also works in Nioh)

Well, now I feel silly... There's poise in Nioh?!

 

[Gator86]

Nioh getting a pause function is really detrimental for the future of the video game community. You can't raise a new generation of hardcore gamers on candy crush and inevitably lose this consumer group if you continue to cater to casuals. Even a big part of the indi dev community release on the existance of people who like to die over and over and still want to continue.
If you can't play this game because it has no pause funtion than don't play it and don't start using all of your social media accounts to harass developers until they add it in. You don't see this kind of behaviour anywhere else. You don't see people in physics say "Hey, quantum physics is hard, please change it so I get it", those people get laughed at.

This is terrific. Thank you for this. 10/10 would laugh at again.

Coming next to Nioh, rewind.

Prepare yourself.

When i say to my lady, "hold on i cant pause", she says, "why do you play games like that?"

 

[Drencrom]

Why are people talking so much about some pause feature (that only works when you aren't playing with another player for obvious reasons) instead of the new missions that have been added? Lol

People who want to pause Souls in general can always just turn off the game as it autosaves all the time anyway so you wont lose progress by quitting.

 

[zewone]

Wasnt like 10 missions? I can only find 7, am i missing something?

Maybe you have to beat those to unlock the others.

 

[Eusis]

Can you get invaded all the time in later Souls games? Or is there a certain state you have to be in (I've only played Demon's)

Varies from game to game. Any time if you don't burn a humanity in DS2, when you ring a coop bell in Bloodborne (and someone joined) and while kindled in DS3.

Also while human in DS1, much like Demon's Souls.

 

[Chris_Rivera]

Yep.

The second you can stop the game to go to the bathroom or answer the phone or door the game becomes casual ezmode git gud scrubs

Real gamers shit themselves like a marathon runner.

 

[Aselith]

But you still are when you're actually playing.

All it does is offer someone the opportunity to go to the toilet or to the door for two mins without coming back dead.

I'm sorry, but no game should come before peoples real life. I don't know how anyone can argue that it should.

In DS games you can quit anywhere and pick up at the exact same spot. You just can't pause when you are in the game or playing.

 

[karasu]

THANK YOU!!! I need Pause as it relieves my stress in these evil ass games. Even though I haven't tried Nioh yet. I'm currently having my ass wiped by the first boss in Dark Souls III.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Well, now I feel silly... There's poise in Nioh?!

Yeah it's called 'Toughness', the heavier the armor the more it has of it

If you get around 200 Toughness you can poise through hits when you dodge or attack.

 

[Hyun Sai]

Souls games will stay casual noob games anyway until they implement permadeath no save, the only way True gamers can play.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Jokes aside I'm glad we have at least one soulslike game that have a pause function.

Because now we can finally have actual evidence whether or not having a pause function would ruined a game, or people are just panicking over a made-up problem.

Imagine if the next Soulslike game includes a difficulty option for easy mode, oh no!

As long as From doesn't implement difficulty options I don't care what any one else does. I'm sure that new trash game by the creators of Lord's Of The Fallen will accommodate you....

 

[sssstententen]

Still hoping they make the gate option available for first runs, instead of one person having to beat the level first.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Yes! Didn't need that aspect of Dark Souls transferring over to other games, that's just silly.

Real gamers shit themselves like a marathon runner.

I laughed way way too hard at this.

 

[righthandmouse]

pause is for pausers. I think this is bs, but I am not a game developer.
oh they should add a solid 1080/60.

 

[Spukc]

But a pause button will break the game and ruin everything, I've heard.

It breaks the game and makes it easier REEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Basketball]

thread reeks of casuals

stinky filthy things

 

[Maintenance]

Reading this thread while my game is paused.

 

[Szadek]

I guess if the game gets an easy mode next, all these hardcore soul fans are going burn thier copies.

 

[shiyrley]

Expanded. Thanks for this thread.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Expanded. Thanks for this thread.

Is the second one about the Zelda hard mode?

 

[Moon_frogger]

I adore the Souls games but I guess I have yet to see the comment said. Wow lol.....

That is an asinine belief if i have ever heard one.



What? Do you feel more proud of yourself for it or something? This is really strange....you do realize people might have real world things to deal with right? "Panic button"? Wtf

Which is why souls games let you press start >quit game and continue where you left off. Sure a pause feature wouldn't ruin the game but the ammout of people, even in this thread whining that it's UNPLAYABLE without pause is highly amusing.

 

[Fury451]

Praise the Pause.

This game really needed one. Actually all non-exclusively online games need one. Give an option to toggle it for the enthusiasts who don't want it but sometimes I have to piss in the middle of a fight.
