imagine how depressing it must be to chose the risky path in life and follow your passion come hell or high water, only to end up working for a msoft, a crop which hates you, blatantly ripping off and debasing a game you love.
being forced to churn out an inferior clone of a successful beloved game to shore up your hemorrhaging parent companies corporate venture into games, as an artist, sound incredibly soul crushing
Souls clones are never as good as the original. Even the best clones are only as good as the worst souls games. I don't understand why they all try and fail so bad.
He does but chasing the bag means pandering to people who misunderstand why those games are good. Now we get sterilized weapon selection, regurgitated boss ideas, fastrolls or bust, and the same badly implemented and presented questlines complete with totally original npcs like Prince Siegmeyer in a Can.
Huge FromSoft fan (love armored core, king's field(especially 4), frame gride, Kuon, Cookies and Cream, Dark Souls/elden ring/bloodborne/sekiro, Echo Night, Otogi, and almost any game in their ACTUAL catalog that isn't just Souls) here, and I'll be buying this too.
>copy literally everything but the one thing that makes the souls games good, the combat >flop
every SINGLE time, im not a gamedev but is it really that hard to just copy souls combat one to one and slap it to your totally epic and original heckin dark fantasy?
>every SINGLE time, im not a gamedev but is it really that hard to just copy souls combat one to one and slap it to your totally epic and original heckin dark fantasy?
that's what the devs of Bleak Faith did and fromdrones pissed and shat their pants
The devs literally said that their goal was to make Dark Souls 4.5.
You can't fault them for being creatively bankrupt. Anyone surprised that they were making as big a ripoff of Souls as possible has no right to be surprised.
It's not really the same game at all. The dev team is completely different and they are plannning on a different game too. Probably only using the name for brand reasons.
Yeah, which is why I said it was a ballsy move because the OG Lords of the Fallen is just straight shit.
I wonder if using it for the name is even a good move, it's not like lords of the fallen is praised as a great game. It's a mediocre souls clone that only had like 1 or 2 interesting features.
We'll see if this one's any good, I guess. I expected it to be dogshit like the original but some of the previews look interesting enough.
It just goes to show how far IP milking mentality is ingrained in the market that they probably had an easier time convincing producers of using the name of a garbage title no one cares for over making a new title.

This game is Dark Souls everything morons on Ganker keep asking From to do. Hotkeys for spells, BB-like transformation attacks on weapon switch/two-handing, more possible weapon combos (R1 into R2 etc), Sekiro deflect etc.
This game will ultimately prove that you are all morons or that Ganker are genius of game design.
This. Most of these souls likes are just Dark Souls with worse level design and some dumb gimmick slapped on them which the entire combat revolves around
In case you haven't noticed yet, the devs of this game are just a little bit obsessed with Dark Souls, and the game that happened to have released prior to the start of this game's development was Dark Souls 3, a game that is also grey and ugly.
So the devs, being the creatively bankrupt hacks they are who cannot think of videogames outside of Souls, were clearly in a euphoric post-Dark Souls 3 high while developing this game.
I'm replaying elden ring right now with the reforged mod and what sticks out to me is in fact not the gameplay which ranges from tried and true to boring and overstaying its welcome. No, what is still truly amazing to me is the world and how real it feels to me. The sense of scale, the view distance, the lighting all make it come together. Even on my Steam Deck just walking around for example caria manor gives me goose bumps late at night with the music turned off.
Wow, really devs? Right stick to look around? Real original guys!
That UI is lovely
This kind of looks like that game Dark Souls
ya know I kind of see it
The new king of soulslikes
I actually like how shameless it is in being a copy of From Software.
They couldn't even be bothered to change the HUD colors for health and stamina. Souls used red and green, so they also are using red and green.
Tell me you're underage without telling me you're underage
DS4 looking good

Copying is the biggest form of flatter though.

Imagine not having Sex slaves
Game name?
Souls clones are never as good as the original. Even the best clones are only as good as the worst souls games. I don't understand why they all try and fail so bad.
The only Souls-like I think is better than the originals happens to be a porn game.
Which one? If it's something that's not actually like the Souls game like Ricca I'm going to kill you.
Black Souls.
they dont understand what made DeS and DS1 so good. Miyazaki doesnt understand it either
Even if he does understand it the company is probably heading in the direction where there's bigger profits to make. Sadly.

When the AA Eurojank title has a more soulful UI than the Sony AAA remake of a beloved classic
I'm going to buy it just to spite fromBlack folk
>I'm going to buy it just to spite fromBlack folk
Now type that without crying
LOL seething fromdrones
Giving attention to this game unironically raises more awareness for FROM though.
How does that matter to From or their fans? That's like buying a From game to spite Zelda fans or playing chess to spite checker players.
Huge FromSoft fan (love armored core, king's field(especially 4), frame gride, Kuon, Cookies and Cream, Dark Souls/elden ring/bloodborne/sekiro, Echo Night, Otogi, and almost any game in their ACTUAL catalog that isn't just Souls) here, and I'll be buying this too.
Would you cave in your own head with a hammer because Fromsoft fans won't?
>souls copy
>copies everything but the invasions
Trash, maybe if these pussies would implement PVP I'd have some respect for them. Just a generic copycat.
Guess they need actual competent backend developers and dedicated servers for that.
fearmongering fromcuck detected, invasions were confirmed a long time ago
What game?
The new Lords of the Fallen reboot
after elden ring the should at least call it Lords of the... Ring

A reboot of a "series" with 1 game?
There isn't one good Souls-like not fricking one.
thymesia
Hellpoint
is there anything more pretentious than UIgays
I just want endless clones of Armored Core already.
Never happening and you should be grateful.
I hope it's good.
Ballsy move rebooting a terrible soulslike instead of making it it's own thing
It's not really the same game at all. The dev team is completely different and they are plannning on a different game too. Probably only using the name for brand reasons.
Yeah, which is why I said it was a ballsy move because the OG Lords of the Fallen is just straight shit.
This was originally going to be a regular sequel, that's why It still has the name of the original. They should have fully abandoned it.
It just goes to show how far IP milking mentality is ingrained in the market that they probably had an easier time convincing producers of using the name of a garbage title no one cares for over making a new title.
I wonder if using it for the name is even a good move, it's not like lords of the fallen is praised as a great game. It's a mediocre souls clone that only had like 1 or 2 interesting features.

>It's a mediocre souls clone that only had like 1 or 2 interesting features.
That basically describes every souls clone.
No, but they can atleast try to make a good game like Nioh 1/2. Every other Souls clone so far has been dog shit.
This game is Dark Souls everything morons on Ganker keep asking From to do. Hotkeys for spells, BB-like transformation attacks on weapon switch/two-handing, more possible weapon combos (R1 into R2 etc), Sekiro deflect etc.
This game will ultimately prove that you are all morons or that Ganker are genius of game design.
You know I bet they made this game, like, SUPER hard. You know? Just like my favorite game Dark Souls where you die a lot. 🙂
no. the point is, very often they're trying to be too original, and in result all these soulslikes are SHIT
just copy fromsoft 1:1 but with your own story, and world
This. Most of these souls likes are just Dark Souls with worse level design and some dumb gimmick slapped on them which the entire combat revolves around
WHY IS IT SO FRICKING GREY AND UGLY
It has more color than Dark Souls 3
In case you haven't noticed yet, the devs of this game are just a little bit obsessed with Dark Souls, and the game that happened to have released prior to the start of this game's development was Dark Souls 3, a game that is also grey and ugly.

What video is this screenshot from?
Nvm, found it
Why be original if you dont have talent for it, just copy good games to make more games.
Dark Souls has probably become more copied than Doom at this point.
Can From?
>souls-like
>"can it be different?"
