One part of the solution would be for gamers to stop falling for hype and buying all this crap. But since gaming is so mainstream now, there simply are too many addicted retards, even here on the Codex, so I'm afraid there is no solution. All I can do is rant and try to only buy those games I personally think are more than cash-grabs, mediocre re-hashes, overambitious crap or other worthless junk.

"Gamers" can't even stop playing games that are poorly disguised gambling simulators.

I wouldn't hold out hope.

It's impressive how boring and generally bad everything in the first two minutes of that video looks.
Didn't feel like watching the rest.

Hey hey, Dark Souls enjoyers. It is high time you fellas played a real RPG game instead of mediocre Japanese action games. Over on GOG they are having a sale and you too could become an RPG pro for almost no money at all. Wizards & Warriors will give you so much street cred here and it is currently half price off an already ridiculously cheap base price.

You owe it to yourself to pick it up and see if you also have what it takes to be a grognard instead of fawning over Japanese cartoon action games with MMO parts packed in for no good reason. Just you and a party of six characters on an adventure like it was meant to be.

Teleporting enemies, same sound on hit or not, R1 spam, retarded boss fight. This looks completely uninspired.

Thanks for the ad tracker link bro. How are the codex's metrics looking?

I see influences from Dark Souls, Dragon's Dogma, Blame!, Jin-Roh, Ico and Kenshi :)

This could be somewhat good or completly derivative.

I saw "survival horror" in the title and was curious, but it's not survival horror at all, is it? Just being a game that has monsters and you don't want to die doesn't make it survival horror.

But while I'm here, does this offer anything of interest? Or is "yet more Dark Souls" the beginning and end of the idea?

Well, if you watch the trailer you can see pretty clearly that the combat operates fairly differently from what you'd see in a Souls game aside from the superficial aspects like health bars above the enemies heads. Like I said, there's monster climbing, which is a great mechanic to have in action RPGs with huge enemies. Also that large creature in the desert seems to imply Shadow of the Colossus style colossi battles. Setting looks like an interesting mix of gothic fantasy and sci-fi.

There's a fair amount here that seems to go beyond the Souls-like formula. Most exciting to me is seeing what looks to be a promising action-RPG in a sea of fairly mediocre titles.

The title is so nasty. Why not just call it Bleak Faith? Do you really need to staple on that "forsaken" subtitle? It's so ugly. Game itself looks like a sloppy Fromsoft clone except with some Dragon's Dogma monster climbing. Boring. I don't know what compels indie devs to do stuff like this.

It might be worth playing if they keep that heavy metal soundtrack from that one video in the game itself, or if there's an interesting story, but it's a pass otherwise.

At least the aesthetic is interesting.

Also top notch trailer, it was made very well for an indie.

This is going to sell good regardless of quality, just by the trailer alone.

The environment looks similar to that of Chaos Legion, an old Devil May Cry-like game.

I'd need to try a demo. The common theme with all these low budget Souls clones is the combat in them feels terrible. Mortal Shell, Lords of the Fallen, The Surge, they all play like sloppy dogshit.
