    if at this point in your life you’re still buying From Software games and STILL complaining about bad net code then I don’t know what to tell you…that’s on you my friend (not you OP the people posting reviews complaining) I mean god damn if you’ve played ANY Japanese developed game with online play for the past 20 some odd years and you’re complaining about bad net code…again that’s on you. I don’t think I’ve ever played a Japanese developed game that had good net code, it’s just something they’ve never been able to figure out for whatever reason. Even in fighting games it generally is and always has been garbage.

      People absolutely should be mentioning in their reviews of a product that it has bad netcode, or any other positives or negatives they think are worth mentioning. People use reviews to inform their purchases of products. Victim blaming people for certain developers’ inability to produce robust netcode is wild.

      Or just use seamless coop and don’t worry about it too much. It’s funny when a modder can do a better job than an entire gaming company.

        thats what me and my friends did and it works wonderfully. The ONLY souls game that has good net code and online play is a blast is the Demon Souls remake and…surprise, surprise, it wasn’t developed by From Software.

        Don’t get me wrong I adore From Software. I’ve been buying all their games for decades. But if you’re looking for great online play from them you’re going to be in for some disappointment.
