What if every game had the Souls series' invasion mechanic?
Would your favorite game benefit from it?
Thief definitely could. You could invade as a guard/cop or just a rival thief. maybe even a speedy hammer haunt
>>335647252
No because the invasion shit isn't that great to begin with.
I may just be ass blasted that people invade me and then just sit in a pack of monsters wasting my fucking time.
>>335647252
MGSV had it but I was hoping they invade you and tried to kill you when your doing a mission or when just fucking around in free roam. Russians hires mercs to kill Venom would fit well.
>>335647454
There are a lot of shitters who play these games and it can be pretty fucking grating playing against them. It's worth it when you get the rare invader/host who's on your level and doesn't play like a fucking bitch, because they actually enjoy playing the PvP.

Supreme Commander 2
Oh boy

>invasion
>an unwelcome intrusion into another's domain.
that's the whole point of "invading", to annoy cucks like you
anyone else having trouble connecting to the server? every other game including DS1&2 play fine online but DS3 is giving me trouble
I'd be thrilled if Elite Dangerous had invasions, there's nobody playing this game it feels.
>>335648704
Just a problem with the game world (or universe, rather) being too damn big.
>>335647252Artificial Academy 2
It'd make Zelda games a bit more interesting. Would make ruppees more valuable, too.
>>335647442
This. /thread. The sheer fear when you see a guard stand to climb over the rooftops after you would ruin my pants.
>>335648264
I enjoy invading and being invaded, but if people are going to run me around the level, heal constantly, summon backup, and generally do gay bullshit to waste my time then it's not fun. I get that people want to win at any cost, but isn't it more fun to beat someone through skill?

>invaders allowed webcam access
>>335648937
I don't know what you're whining about everything you said sounds like the funniest shit ever.
Not that it's my favorite game, but imagine Resident Evil 4 with someone whose main goal was to steal items. Basically that they can raid and take items/ammo/herbs meant for your world, but if they're killed you get what they took plus rarer ammo.
>>335648869
That's Netowaku Netoraru Karemachi Kanojo, sorta.

>Invader has a rainbow card

>Can't catch up to them and rape them senseless because sanic speed
Actual dickass invader here. No dueling or honor bullshit.
Invasions are great and a lot of fun, but I don't know if they'd work in some games. Like kingdom hearts, for example.
Also if any of you jolly cooperators are man enough come ring your bells in mensis (the parts before micolash). I'll fill your ass full of moonlight.
>>335649371
Jokes on you! I don't have PSN!
>>335648937
>This fucking guy
Dude. They are dickwraiths. They call them dickwraiths because that's exactly what dickwraiths are supposed to do. Invade worlds, try to kill the host, run around like a maniac and try to get a fuck ton of monsters on the host's ass. No dickwraith or forest defender ever wants a fair fight. Using monsters and being a douchebag is literally the point of invading. If they wanted a fair fight they would use their red soapstone. Stop being retarded.

Yesspyrowould be greatly improved by invasions

>Would your favorite game benefit from it?
Mirror's Edge? Probably not. Although I could see it working in ME:C, people invading as those parkour cops from the first game, complete with tasers.
Other games:
Jedi Outcast/Academy
Witcher 3 (invade as a monster)
and this >>335647864
>F-Zero X / GX

I didn't know I needed this until now. Fuck you Nintendo.

Fuck yes I would play that.

How about no

Why does everyone use that fucking sword?
>>335647252

I actually want this to be part of the game.
>in water temple
>suddenly a dark link appears and starts fucking up your shit
I just want to imagine the games in this thread with the invasion mechanic, but in all of them they dramatically rise from the ground like in Souls.

Oh god no I don't think my ps4 could handle it
>>335652525
imagine if 4chan had an invasion mechanic
Mount and Blade: Warband would be cool with invasions

Meh, might be interesting.

Mite b cool if balanced enough. Very frustrating though. It'd certainly be a more interesting enemy than the waves of endlessly spawning bug aliens with poor AI.
As a singleplayer fag, no. I've got nothing against invasions in Souls but fuck putting that in EVERY game. More often than not I want to be left alone with my vidya, thank you very much.Dedicated PvP arenas in Twilight Princess could be neat, though.

fuck, I want this

I've always imagined a DayZ-like survival game, but as an AoE-style RTS. Basically you have a massive persistent map where new players are always spawning in, establishing bases while keeping a low profile, and fighting for control once they're established.
Of course you'd need to rethink a lot of basic RTS concepts like resources (the map can't be drained completely or new players won't have anything to mine), but I can see it being neat.

First post was best post and nothing can top it.

FUND IT
I think this would make Witcher 3 just gr8 m8
>>335653760
Maybe the resources could work like Supreme Commander.

No, not really and it'd make 0 sense.

That would be flashyn.
Silent Hill 3? I uhh
How would that work for any in the series?
>>335647252
Grim Dawn for sure but only if pvp in hardcore doesn't kill the character permanently.
>>335647252
>Witcher 3
>Other people invade your world as giant monsters
>From monster POV it plays like Evolve
>Random NPC will show up with a letter saying there's been a monster sighting with a commission to kill it

>While there it can wreak havoc and potentially kill any number of important characters that might be of some importance to an alternate plot path while not completely destroying the core progression of the story
Could be interesting, but most likely would be just pure buttfuckery that would ruin 40+ hours of investment in a playthrough that is not designed to be interfered with.
Burnout? Invasion in a racing game sounds pretty rad to me.
>>335647252
>having 1 single fav game
first game that came to mind when thinking of games i really like. M&B would do awesome with random invasions, or witcher 3 could be cool.
