Castlevania Harmony of Despair
 

Yes I know this game has been out for a while (almost a year now?)

In a nutshell, its a Six Person Co-op Metroidvania style game with a kickass soundtrack (Though has single player but its damn hard).

Out of curiosity, is anyone here playing it? Been looking for partners now days since the matchmaking system is shit.

The matchmaking system isn't as bad as it used to be before one of the recent patches. Dunno if you played before Chapters 10 and 11 were released, but back then, you had to disband every time in order to search for additional party members, or even re-invite friends/members that had been disconnected. So glad they fixed that.

I don't usually have a problem with some of the randoms I get matched up with, actually. Not saying every session is awesome, but for the most part, it's good not being the only one who knows how to get to the boss on most chapters in less than 4 minutes (sans Chapter 10 and 11).

There's a topic going around in here. Probably in 2nd page since past the chapter 7 release there hasn't been much talk.

While I am compelled to buy the maps, it's just the drop system isn't fixed (or it will ever be). You'll see people who have done one stage and not get their item after x runs while others just get it right off the bat. It's quite frustrating at times.
