Maybe if you're playing on PC with a SSD.... Especially if the game you're playing is Bloodborne. Which incidentally only had invasions in a few select areas with a specific enemy so not having a pause in the game in that case because of worrying about invasions is especially laughable.
That said, if quit solves the problem, why are people so against a pause. People can already get out of the game, all pause then does is mean you don't have to sit through un-necessary loading screens. I'm at a loss why people are so against it.
In Bloodborne you don't need to pause, you can just stand by a Lamp and go answer the front door or whatever.
That re spawns everything, hardly ideal.
When is the easy mode?
Well if you are standing by the lamp enemies don't aggro against you so you don't need to activate the lamp.
Yeah, same here. As far as I'm concerned pause in a game does not effect difficulty (unless you can manage inventory/weapon select/craft in the pause menu). All the lack of pause does in the souls games is just make the games more inconvenient rather than difficult.You still have to run back to a lamp though anyway. Or use an item, and then walk back to where you got to.
Again, not ideal.
I'll leave the debate here anyway. I love the souls(borne) games, but I don't believe for one second the games would be damaged in any way by having a pause. No debating will change that for me.
Is there any way to delete trophies from your PSN account? I can't have this now disgustingly casual game tainting my play history. I'd lose all my real gamer credit if someone else were to inspect it and see this.
I know I can hide trophies and no one else would know...but I'd know.
Don't really see the need for a pause button personally but I guess it's good for all the people who need it. Since there's no online invasions it makes sense for this game . People asking for it in souls is a little ridiculous though maybe in offline mode .
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.

I'm married...... the wife doesn't understand why I must keep playing while she's talkng to me. I for one welcome the pause button.
Maybe go on social media and ask the developer for a patch? ;DYou know what doesn't have a pause button? My kids. So it's nice to have an optional way to pause the game at a tense parts and be able to come back to it when I've taken care of things. It's something I personally welcome. If you'd like a challenge for Nioh game go grab two kids and have them wrestle you while you fight a boss.
Everyone talking about the pause function...Jesus.
Did they nerf onmyo at least?
Both extremes are wrong. It definitely wasn't needed, but it won't ruin everything either. It'll be interesting to see how it does affect the gameplay down the line if at all.
Souls should follow.

Not everyone in the Souls community is like that. There's plenty of people who've wanted a pause function for a long time.Thank God I wasn't part of the Souls community
As a huge fan of Souls who planned on getting Ni-oH, I am not going to get it now. The lack of pause added immersion and elevated them from commercial products to artistic worlds that demanded the player to engage in it.
Sloth = Easy mode
Brilliant!Couldn't you just break your controllers pause button, elevating all your games from commercial product to art?
There's no invasions in Nioh.
Nioh is fucking incredible
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)
