He was already speed running it therefore I assume that he liked it. The guy doesn't do impressions.What's his thoughts about the game?I watched Distortion playing Lies of Pi so much that now I want to play Lords of the Fallen
Found it. Decay of Logos. Apparently the "feel" and mechanics were off. Also, Curse of Eternity I have dropped. I have also dropped Dungeons of Edera. So never mind, I have played some soulslikes I consider below B-. A couple other I have enjoyed: Chronos: Before the Ashes (B) and Remnant: From the Ashes (B to B+, fun co-op). Back to Ashes I played a little of and it felt good. Extreme indie, one guy. Loved the atmosphere and visuals/art direction, intend to play it fully whenever my marathon of A+++ tier soulslikes is over (Nioh 2, Stranger of Paradise). Perhaps before since it seems short. Not to mention the other A-tier soulslikes. Fromsoft rules!!!!!!!
Dude, for real, I've never even heard of those, fuck me. And I thought I have a solid grip on the genre.
I dropped Chronos in an hour and refunded, didn't click with me at all.
No, I haven't played everything from the genre.
Oh there's tons and tons. I like diving to find the possible gems like Back to Ashes. I was also in the Bleak Faith discord (not a tranny though) and spoke with the dev directly. I intend to get that one too because I have a lot of patience for games if they are unique in some way or have strengths that make up for their weaknesses (like atmosphere) as long as the combat is serviceable enough. Just been broke lately is all.
It's not out yet, but I can already tell you yes, miles better
Check out the video I posted on the prior page of this thread and you'll be able to see how much better it is in pretty much every facet
Combat is very similar to DS1 in terms of speed.
It's good but it's trash because it's too much like Dark Souls. I mean Dark Souls is fucking amazing but being too much like that amazing thing is bad.
They gave it a 79%.
It must be so depressing for the developers to get this kind of bullshit reviews. I imagine that the game has a sizable budget, so the studio has to get some normies interested if they hope to make a profit. But for the developers, having these clown journalists with erratic behavior between them and the potential buyers must be so stressful.
That's retarded, yes.
I will not buy it on release day.
Lol what a joke. From WCCFTech, whom I usually like: "While the new entry in the series is objectively a better game than its predecessor, it is nowhere close to being the Dark Souls 4 that never was and likely never will be, mostly due to bad combat design and a general lack of polish." Later he goes on to say: "Enemy placement and formations are truly some of the worst I have seen in recent times, and what has made my time with the game often unenjoyable." Sounds like he was just butthurt too. At least he's criticizing how he felt the combat actually felt/responded I guess. He calls the combat floaty and lacking weight. This guy is usually pretty good so I guess he just wasn't feeling it but it's weird to see such a huge difference in opinion from site to site.
Why buy at all? Just pirate it.
Maybe the high variability in review score is because the game is being compared to FromSoft titles, either on purpose or subconsciously (most people reviewing the game have hundreds of hours accumulated on these previous titles). Everyone has their conception of what the best soulslike experience is, so the game gets bad review when it is too far from that. If that is the case, it is unfair criticism for Lords of the Fallen, because being as good as Dark Souls should not mean being like Dark Souls (or whatever your favorite flavor of soulslike is).
