Soul Sacrifice Makes You Murder Your Co-op Buddies

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

Oh man, I sense so much rage-quitting arising due to this game.
Evidently inspired by Demons/Dark Souls. Still, looks pretty sweet. Reminds me of Valkyrie Profile:Covenant of the Plume, as well.

So wait are you saying I use my friends to kill people?

I am sooo in...

please dont link things from funnyjunk, it NEVER works for anyone besides the poster.

as for this, an interesting concept, though more information is needed before i can form a solid opinion

I was unaware of this and I thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Here have a Nicolas Cage Approved

Hopefully that image worked

and the basic jist of my image that didn't work was a picture of someone hitting someone using someone else as a weapon with the caption "I'm gonna beat a ************ with another ************"... I felt it was appropriate...

yes, the nick cage approved worked, and nearly made me piss myself.
and the other image certainly sounds appropriate, but i cant seem to find it anywhere

Well there's a link if you want...

If it doesn't work, well, then...

Other important question: How the heck will this work in single player? (Or will there even be a single player mode?)

As far as I know, it's one of your NPCs that will get the shaft. If you aren't co-op'ing with people, you have a companion AI with you while you play. There are several companions from what I read, each with their own stories and personalities.

EDIT: Ah here's the article detailing it - http://www.siliconera.com/2012/07/04/soul-sacrifices-single-player-partner-is-a-gorgeous-sorcerer/

I hope the delay/extra time is used well, I am REALLY looking forward to this game. Everything about it looks great. Soul Sacrifice, Gravity Rush 2, and Ys: Celceta are some of my most anticipated games in a long while.

BAD IDEAAA BAD BAD BADDD IDEAAA

has anyone here ever played a game like, Risk, with a group of friends?

We all know how THAT ends don't we??

 

[Something Amyss]

Well, I don't have a Vita, but I'd pass anyway.

That could be really boring for the guy who gets sacrificed. All your friends are having fun fighting the boss while you just sit there, especially if it takes forever. Interesting idea though!

I think the act of the sacrifice is more like a required "Finisher move" than just something you have to mark off a checklist though it would be hilarious if a few months down the line you'd just have to beat the bosses to that point ten or so times and not need to sacrifice anyone. Making everyone who ever did more of a monster than what they've been fighting.

So I'm assuming parties can have at least 3 or more members (sacrifice/possible {betrayer}/extra combatant(s) who don't directly help pick or be a the sacrifice) if so do the extra(s) also get negative alterations done to them or just not as much. I guess being the sacrifice might be a bit redeeming?
