Color me surprised when devs completely miss the point of setting up a threatening atmosphere in a decaying world and just go for those epic gotcha moments to infuriate the players. Imagine copying the greatest gaming series of all time and making a shitty buggy game. This is lies of P, koreans are subhumans

Skill issue, literally. Git gud moron.
>Imagine copying the greatest gaming series of all time
Clearly they didn't, because Lies of P runs at a reasonable, steady framerate, has graphics options, enemies don't fall down cliffs all the time, the hitboxes are decently accurate, there's an actual story, and no invasive (heh) online features to get in the way of your experience.
and a good combat system with zero interchangeable weapon bloat and consistenlty good boss fights, and graphics that look like they've advanced past seventh gen
not saying much since the souls games were such a fricking regression at least when they decided to focus so much in combat and boss fights, it was cool when it was trying to be a dungeon crawler
Is this the same homosexual? Literal every Lies of P thread start with OP praised or shitpost about Lies of P then the second posts is always SO MUCH BETTER THAN FROMSLOP OMG
I dont know. I gave up on having normal P threads a long ass time ago. Imagine actually trying to discuss video games on Ganker instead of committing 16 hours a day of your freetime to some moronic shitposting war.
shitposters baiting a moronic Fromtroony that lives on the board 24/7. probably the same moron that keeps sperging out and taking obvious bait in those Elden Ring and Dragon's Dogma threads and ruining them from everyone. turns out you don't actually need to shitpost all day. just bait an autist and have him shit up the thread for you.
who says I'm the one baiting him? I'm just pointing out the moronation that keeps killing on topic threads. shitposter wouldn't be here if morons didn't keep taking the bait.
Not my fault that Sekiro despite being 5 years old is still a better game and has more players than your favorite copycat, KimDongSuck.
Also quite funny that you're played a bootleg copycat and sperging about being braindead lol
>most braindead game appeals to lowest common denominator >Oy vey my game is good because they're dying after a week
Lord of Fallen must be the truest From killer then
please have a nice day. this game feels like complete dogshit and with a bland bioshock infinite tier aesthetic. ill give this studio a chance when they don't make a game with this atrocious, bland art direction. say what you will about the game, but the order 1886 did this style right - where as this puppet shit is beyond moronic.
TBF fromsoft does need to copy a deflection mechanic into Their next dark souls / elden ring clone. YOU MADE IT during sekiro just use it in the other games for fricks sake. Just an option not a 'core' feature. Just anything to slow down roll spam. It's the best part of Lies of P. The whole weapon combo thing is a fricking meme except for a few exceptions, basically "Long handle on weapon" or "short handle on big weapon". The boss weapons were the best part of the weapons so that little gimmick doesn't really matter to me.
ER was just a clusterfrick of half assed ideas and copy paste assets. The open world is a huge waste of time and the combat is still jank.
Worst offender is the summons that outright breaks enemy AI.
NTA, but playing Elden Ring and being nored to tears by it made me question if I still like the Souls formula. Then I replayed DS1 and realized that I just really didn't like the open world and the boring copy and paszed "content" they decided to populate it with. The lebel design abd overal mood also took a massive nose dive, with the constant ambient music blaring into my ears.
yeah modern open world games suck because they are usually empty and have copy pased dungeons/caves, i knew that was gonna be a negative when they said it was gonna be open world
Opposite for me, I've done 3 lies of P reruns and some areas are literal "No I won't ever do that again it's boring" tier for me. Like the chapters 7, 8 and 9 I just find so fricking boring and want to teleport to the boss.
>it's better than elden ring and i am not joking

Yeah, I guess poorly coded asiatic jank is fun. All neowiz shills should be executed and Lies of P banned from Ganker
You wanted a Souls clone. That includes the bugginess. You should be glad the game doesn't run at 30fps lol.
It's incredibe how consistently good and varied the boss fights are. There's no "ugh, this homosexual" moments like in most From games. I just hope they upgrade their level design moving forward.

This discord homosexualry is absolutely and you people should be publicly hanged for this dog shit try hard engagement. What you posted literally happens in every game like this including Fromsoft shit. In my 3 play throughs this didn’t happen to me once. I don’t understand this genre of shit posting where you grab a webm for a beloved game to show some bug that only affected like 5% of the player base.
No I’m not new to the genre & I get how to make a build & combat. I normally go for tank/Sword-n-Board builds. Parrying I’m bad at cause— I get jumpy and make the timing wrong: not trying to get hit, I inadvertently get hit.
Some attacks I parry but I would mostly dodge roll & use spacing for defense.
After playing Elden ring for the first time two years ago, I can confidently say it’s a bad game. Breath of the wild was certainly suppose to win GOTY but from had spent trillions on dude bro ads. No one even finished Elden ring while everyone completed Zelda
This game looks worse than lords of the fallen. Anon, do you mind posting a new thread in a few minutes but with lords of fallen instead of lies of P? After than let’s top it off with an Elden ring hate thread
its actually much simpler anon, no one cares but you. The shit you care about is worthless and meaningless. Nothing changes if people others saw this thread. Opening this thread is the same thing as never even seeing it
This is such a stupid argument. In what way are Blodborne,Sekiro and Armored Core 6 copy pasted? Thats more innovation and change than most other studios literally ever do. Try finding that much difference in any Bethesda or Ubisoft game.
This game attracts contrarians like flies, who are joined by people coping after paying $70 for something they hoped would be good. It's not enough to just say that it's a good game and a solid effort. The histrionics are out of control
>contrarians
The frick? Souslikes are THE mainstream normie genre right now. If anything, it attracts the lowest common denominator, just like Souls games.
You don't get it. The mondbroken Fromtroony is seething because people DARED to go off brand. Playing a Soulslike not made by From is sacrilege to gays like him. Like plunging a blade in the very heart of our lord and savior Miyazaki.
I saw the trailer and shrugged it off as shit. I thought that there was no way it would be good. It was a great game. It was way better than I expected.
>anon autisticly seeks out the only thread about a specific game and goes out of his way to save/post random clips to try to besmirch this random game because...some reason no one understands
Idk what the level beyond pathetic is, but you've reached it bud. Please get help.
still, why wouldn't you use the most unique mechanic in the whole game? why the frick would you not even slap another blade on it? same moveset, but looks cooler.
bet you use the claymore in souls games for a whole playthrough
I do like that once you find a moveset you like, you can just keep using that handle and switch out the blade part if you find something that works better.
It was ok, but it still doesn't compare to Fromsoftware. These AA Souls-likes need to understand how to up their boss design and combat. The legion arms for example are such a weak underused gimmick
>These AA Souls-likes need to understand how to up their boss design and combat.
The combat in Lies of P is way better than Elden Ring. Bloodborne and Sekiro are the only From games that don't have you just roll around a poke a giant boss that's taking up your entire screen.
>The combat in Lies of P is way better than Elden Ring.
No, it isn't. Enemies are generally very unreactive and samey. The player has basically 0 hyperarmor on almsot any weapon and lacks the ability to play a tank, and many other faults
>The player has basically 0 hyperarmor
you dont need that when you can stunlock every enemy to death
also the fact that you can actually use every weapon you find makes it better than elden ring by default
So that's fricking boring. What's the point of different weapons if they all play the exact same with some fable parry or attack+ gimmicks? Elden Ring weapons feel different, attacks feel meaningful. Yes in an ARPG with so many weapons the slowest, heaviest hitting weapons should have hyperarmor to give the player an aggresive roll, and the fastest, lightest most agile enemies should get staggered more easily. That's the kind of reactivity that makes Souls games so much more fun than any Souls-like. In Souls games the combat is equally defined by the player choice of weapon as much as the posture, stats and moveset of the enemy.
>The player has basically 0 hyperarmor
you dont need that when you can stunlock every enemy to death
also the fact that you can actually use every weapon you find makes it better than elden ring by default
Lies of P has some of the strongest enemy variety of an off brand Souls game. Its enemy variety is so varied it gives Fromsoft a run for their money. Its boss design is quite literally ripped from Froms last 3 games. If you seriously think boss design in this game is amateur I dare you to play Lords of the fallen. That’s a game where bosses have 3 moves max and dog shit telegraphing. I don’t care if you wanna piss on Lies of P because you have an aversion to off brand shit. But put some respect on the devs. They absolutely came through. King of Puppets is easily one of the best Souls like boss fighting in the entire genre.
>These AA Souls-likes need to understand how to up their boss design and combat.
The combat in Lies of P is way better than Elden Ring. Bloodborne and Sekiro are the only From games that don't have you just roll around a poke a giant boss that's taking up your entire screen.
All bosses and enemies in Lies of P are the same. That's a major issue all Souls-likes have. Even Laxasia or Nameless Puppet are just giant sponges. Compare it to Tivhe or Malenia that stagger like nothing and rely on moving/attacking hyperarmor giving a completely different feel from Fire Giant or Morgott, and that shows why Souls games feel so great to play whereas Souls-likes don't feel as good. You can put all customizeable transforming super duper sticks you want, but only in Souls games you feel the meaningful different of each weapon and spell and the meaningful difference of each boss.
Up to a point. After a while the game just keeps dragging on and on while the level design and enemy encounters deteriorate. That final stretch with scaffolding the tower is such a downgrade compared to earlier sections of the game.
The bosses are also frustrating later because their attacks are spastic and their moveset goes directly against the game's mechanics. Game teaches you so much about perfect blocks or poise when later it's useless against infinity poise bosses and the actual best method is to just constantly strafe left or sprint away when the red attack comes lol. Or the cancer bosses like Walker of Illusions that has so many sudden mixups and unreadable attack animations that it'd unironically be more predictable to fight a real human opponent.
Elden Ring burned me out of Souls formula for forever. I simply won't play it due to that no matter how interesting or good it is. I played the demo for like an hour and just dropped it due to that. I won't look into ER DLC either. I liked Armored Core 6 though. So I will look into other non-Souls Fromsoft games if they ever make them.
About what you'd expect. There's lots of different enemies but many of them within the same areas adhere to the same designs and attacking philosophies.
There's a basic formula that is used throughout the game but there a lot of variations to them as well as unique enemies and all the way to the end of the game, the game will keep throwing unique encounters at the player.
The bosses in the second half of the game are bullshit. Yeah go on say skill issue, no. It's not the difficulty. The game explicitly teaches you to riposte and hop and roll and break enemy stagger. Turns out all of those are shit aganist bosses like Laxasia, you're supposed to trivialize her with just walking away during her attacks or using summons because enemy boss AI has no idea how to fight against summons.
Victor, La Sexia and Nameless Puppet are top tier even if I still keep getting trounced by this last one.
Laxasia in particular feels really rewarding to learn the fight, if anything they should give her phase 1 some extra tricks like canceling out of her long strings even if it's pretty funny to see people run to the other end of the bridge and she still catches up to them.
I don't like the Simon fight though, I wish phase 2 was more of a spectacle/gimmick fight.

the first half of this game was absolute kino in terms of environment aesthetics, level design, music, overall feeling
in comparison to all that, the second half was such a snoozefest, endless path of grey and ugly and i just wanted the game to end already so it can end on a high note
Are you the anon from the AC6 thread?
Shit, seems I'm the only who liked the final area. I agree the insides are visually drab but the entrance with those giant hands plus the background music is top tier.
I liked that at first you can only hear the springs humming when rolling over, but the more human the P gets, the more frequent the sighs of effort creep in. Nice detail.
yeah i'm not sure if the character animations changed and became more 'fluid' if you gained humanit (i don't think they did) but all the character actions like rolls or taking damage or swinging start sounding like a human exerting himself
This game's story disappointed me. There's two systems that work, either have a fully fledged story with acts and characters (think Jedi Fallen Order) or leave it mysterious and interpretative (like Dark Souls). LoP's story is in that awkward middle ground where it's not too vague and tries to develop a story, but puts in so little work into the story that just about every character feels shortchanged. I still have no idea who or what the frick Gemini is despite the story initially hinting at his importance, the alchemists and the villain are nothinburgers. So much of the characters and ideas feel shortchanged as a result.
Game should've had the fully fledged story approach. The core storyline ideas are solid enough and none of the characters are insufferable apart from Gemini. The animal stalkers were cool.
As for gameplay, it's p good as long as you understand how good carrying capacity is. Leveling up stamina or resist doesn't mean shit compared to maxing out carry weight to let you wear the heaviest armor amulets without slowing yourself down.
LoP's story has the same problem to me as Fromsoft games, trying to make something feel emotional or tragic when 0 effort was previously put into giving the player a reason to care. Oh nooo faceless petrification plague lady by the window #921 with 0 relation to any character in the game said a total of two sad lines of dialogue and asked for her sister to forgive her, am I supposed to really feel emotional at this? Honestly if this stuff gives you "the feels" there's something really off with you.
Honestly I felt the complete opposite way, I've never given a single frick about any character in Dark Souls but LoP actually got me to care about the Hotel gang.
One of the reasons I like Souls is that you get exactly what you want out of the game. If you want to listen to lengthy monologues of crazy people and go into details, reading descriptions of each item and auting, wondering how to fulfill this or that quest (and whether there is a quest) - please.
You want to go like a tank through the whole game, metasloping and not listening to a single dialog for the game - your right.
Nobody tears out your control at every checkpoint, does not twist your camera and does not make you listen to the nonsense of some Black person monkey in an unskippable cutscene.
You are the master of your game, and you play by your own rules.
Miyazaki's design taught me to exhaust dialogue and come back to NPCs fairly frequently. To read items and notes as I go along. I always liked this approach to story telling, it doesn't bother those who couldn't care less about the story while those who do have to immerse themselves a little more and sort of piece together a puzzle with the pieces they come upon. It's something that is present in Lies of P as well although it does have actual cutscenes focused on just exposition. Kind of a best of both worlds scenario. Maybe it does fall short for those who rush through the game I wouldn't know.
Another part of Miyazaki's design I like is how the dialogue respects the player's attention. If you've notice in From games whenever you talk to NPCs they usually keep it brief and consise, they never tell you something that isn't at least somewhat important. Maybe it's a Japanese thing but if you compare it to capeshit or games like Borderlands that just bombard you with irrelevant chatter and quiffs you'll see what I mean.
>Close your eyes >Come to me >Feel all right >Just dance with me all through the night
This song alone made me feel more emotional than anything in Dark Souls
This week I got Lies of P since it's free now
Having fun, it's like I get to play Bloodborne again but on PC with great performance.
It really does feel like a From Soft game, I haven't played a Soulslike from another studio that hit the mark this well.
The only things I don't exactly love are how the parrying and dodging works and there's no hyperarmor. Gonna see if I can make up for it within the P-Organ (moronic name btw) later.
Also the Weapon Assembly is pretty cool, keeps the spirit of Bloodborne while providing something new and fresh.
Surprised at how much I like it, what a great game.
Those bastards patched this out because people thought the jump scare was cringe because it comes right after the Sophia moment. I personally thought it was funny lol
The bosses in the second half of the game are bullshit. Yeah go on say skill issue, no. It's not the difficulty. The game explicitly teaches you to riposte and hop and roll and break enemy stagger. Turns out all of those are shit aganist bosses like Laxasia, you're supposed to trivialize her with just walking away during her attacks or using summons because enemy boss AI has no idea how to fight against summons.
Depends on how you play. Swamp monster is difficult when you refuse to position yourself properly, Laxasia and Nameless are difficult because they attack really fast and hit hard.
Different kinds of difficulty I think, Swamp Monster was hard but I didn't have fun fighting him, while Laxasia was also hard but I had a ton of fun fighting her.
>she's so easy to parry
to you maybe
to me parrying her was an absurd task because you wouldn't need to parry one attack, you'd have to parry that weird mixup of delays and speedups 7-8 times in a row, if you miss one she staggers you and you're done
watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6SOnaRnrpI
0:23 - 0:35
if you found that easy to parry then well done, i sure as frick didn't until i fought her at least 8 times and memorized the combo completely
you just need to not be a b***h and do a suicide run a few time to learn her timing. people that say shit is "impossible" never even try learning to counter it in the first place. like waterfowl. I got that shit down in 15 minutes,
Not everyone likes to memorize patterns like a monkey. That's why some of the criticism goes to Bloodborn like games.
If you want to pass, you can nerd out here and here or frick off. About zero variability, sit wanking timings or get into the maze of consumables, sharpening and other clutter of game elements, so that in battle as a pianist perfectly squeeze everything and fricking proud of themselves.
Total bullshit.

This never made sense. In Fromsoftware games you can furst time bosses and don't rely on memorization/learning except maybe Sekiro. All fightd except maybe Amygdala in BB are easy to first time. Even Malenia can be just blocked

the only area I really hated was the Alchemist's lair. you're infiltrating a mad scientists lair and all you end up finding is a bunch of empty halways with the same copy and pasted rock texture and bunch of high level enemies and mini-bossed randomly placed around corners. it felt like I was playing an unfinished game.
I finished lies of P yesterday. I felt like the game was a very solid 7 overall.
Great setting and aesthetic, with interesting characters and bosses, but the game tried to be dark souls too hard. My general list of complaints: >equipment weights so that you couldn't take advantage of weapon swapping without becoming overweight >Some mutually exclusive missable quests and their item requirements you will have 0 knowledge for unless you look it up beforehand
several areas drag on too long >general lack of trash enemy variety and challenge >weapon balancing being kind of bad as some were just objectively much better than the others >several areas dragging on for way too long >bgm in most areas being bad or outright missing (although the records were great)
Still enjoyed my time with it despite these flaws. Hope their next project turns out better.
Weapon weight needs to frick off, that shit is terrible in souls too and leads to most of your gear slots being completely unused. Nioh did it right by limiting weight to armor only.
Yeah I remember my first playthrough of darksouls largely consisting of being naked with a zweihander only. Simply because armor wasn't needed if I hit the enemy hard enough with a heavy weapon.
And I spent almost half my level ups just upgrading equipment weight in lies of P so I could keep up with the progressively heavier gear pieces you get. Really felt like they only put it in because fromsoft did it.
Lies of P illustrates the one thing I don't like about Soulslikes, how you're supposed to manage your stamina, but the stamina bar is tucked away in the corner of the screen.
So you have to look away from the fight to look at how your stamina is doing.
It's been annoying design since Dark Souls 1.
Why don't they put the stamina bar somewhere within your vision????
I have the Two Dragons sword for boss fights and Puppet Ripper for clearing out normal mobs. Since the range and damage on the charged heavy attack is just absurd.
That handle with the Acidic CGS blade on a DEX build is just *chef's kiss*
What are anons favorite combos? Besides that, mine are
Rapier+City Longspear
Dancer CS+Booster Glaive
Cursed Knight Halberd+Coil Mjolnir
Spear of Honor+Pistol Rock Drill
They really need to fix the crank system, either improve the effect or let me pump more cranks into a weapon. As is, it severely damps viable options, especially Advance.
What arm tech do you guys use? I havent felt any to be very great so i just leveled up the gun 1 to add some stagger and for a ranged pull that doesnt use a throwable consume
Puppet String is easily the best one but my personal favorites are Deus Ex Machina and Pandemonium.
For the first update, Pandemonium gives you a really function and DEM is highly underrated, it does decent damage, good stagger damage, cleans off recoverable health and enemies keep walking into those mines.

TBF fromsoft does need to copy a deflection mechanic into Their next dark souls / elden ring clone. YOU MADE IT during sekiro just use it in the other games for fricks sake. Just an option not a 'core' feature. Just anything to slow down roll spam. It's the best part of Lies of P. The whole weapon combo thing is a fricking meme except for a few exceptions, basically "Long handle on weapon" or "short handle on big weapon". The boss weapons were the best part of the weapons so that little gimmick doesn't really matter to me.
After playing this I realised that linear souls games are just better than open world shit like Elden Ring just so much nicer to replay
ER was just a clusterfrick of half assed ideas and copy paste assets. The open world is a huge waste of time and the combat is still jank.
Worst offender is the summons that outright breaks enemy AI.
>linear
Not THIS linear. Give me a nice maze to explore, Lords of the Fallen did it right
did you never play any of the previous games before elden ring?
NTA, but playing Elden Ring and being nored to tears by it made me question if I still like the Souls formula. Then I replayed DS1 and realized that I just really didn't like the open world and the boring copy and paszed "content" they decided to populate it with. The lebel design abd overal mood also took a massive nose dive, with the constant ambient music blaring into my ears.
yeah modern open world games suck because they are usually empty and have copy pased dungeons/caves, i knew that was gonna be a negative when they said it was gonna be open world
Opposite for me, I've done 3 lies of P reruns and some areas are literal "No I won't ever do that again it's boring" tier for me. Like the chapters 7, 8 and 9 I just find so fricking boring and want to teleport to the boss.
Its better than Elden Ring and i am not joking.
>implying that's a high bar
>it's better than elden ring and i am not joking
Maybe if you're blind, subhuman bug
This is the good korean design at work, wow amazing game and hitbox, great combat experience when you get hit by attacks who completely miss you
>get hit
>die
hmm
ESL pls go
You wanted a Souls clone. That includes the bugginess. You should be glad the game doesn't run at 30fps lol.
DSP posts on Ganker?
that's one stupid looking weapon
How so? Its pretty much just a glaive, as in a sword on a stick
I liked almost all the weapons in Lies of Peepee, not as much as Bloodborne weapons but overall they were good and varied
whats artificial about this? the shock wave hit you,
Is this game good for anything besides jerking off to that hot sissy twink?
So fun that what?
I came.
It's incredibe how consistently good and varied the boss fights are. There's no "ugh, this homosexual" moments like in most From games. I just hope they upgrade their level design moving forward.
Level design is objectively fine. People might find the levels too small but that comes down to personal preference.
>level design is objectively fi-AACK
Why didn't you just ran past it?
>Holy smokes, this game is so fun
Yeah, I guess poorly coded asiatic jank is fun. All neowiz shills should be executed and Lies of P banned from Ganker
yeah this has definitely never happened in a fromsoft game
lmaoing @ u
Never happened to me, you must be moronic.
>this mentally ill homosexual is still spamming
that's how you know the game is good
It's crazy it's been several months and he is still at it?
This discord homosexualry is absolutely and you people should be publicly hanged for this dog shit try hard engagement. What you posted literally happens in every game like this including Fromsoft shit. In my 3 play throughs this didn’t happen to me once. I don’t understand this genre of shit posting where you grab a webm for a beloved game to show some bug that only affected like 5% of the player base.
He got your (You), didn't he? Got exactly what he wanted.
die asiatics with your shitty buggy insectoid game
I was enjoying the game until this boss’s phase 2 filtered me and my strength build. Specifically: The autistic bull charge move.
Help what do?
>Help what do?
git gud. it's just a recycled watchman.
I wish. I’m terrible at parrying.
Then you're going to have a hard time in the endgame.
You mad it that far in the game without learning how to time blocks? How is that even possible.
No I’m not new to the genre & I get how to make a build & combat. I normally go for tank/Sword-n-Board builds. Parrying I’m bad at cause— I get jumpy and make the timing wrong: not trying to get hit, I inadvertently get hit.
Some attacks I parry but I would mostly dodge roll & use spacing for defense.
After playing Elden ring for the first time two years ago, I can confidently say it’s a bad game. Breath of the wild was certainly suppose to win GOTY but from had spent trillions on dude bro ads. No one even finished Elden ring while everyone completed Zelda
This game looks worse than lords of the fallen. Anon, do you mind posting a new thread in a few minutes but with lords of fallen instead of lies of P? After than let’s top it off with an Elden ring hate thread
filtered
>Lies of P is a cheap imitation
Why? Because it's too accurate?
You played a Souls clone. You knew what you were getting into. Stop whining, stop buying Soulslop, stop being mad.
its actually much simpler anon, no one cares but you. The shit you care about is worthless and meaningless. Nothing changes if people others saw this thread. Opening this thread is the same thing as never even seeing it
>jumps straight into his hitbox
>"why did I get hit?!"
He's probably too used to the likes of Maliketh as his hands somehow don't hit you, while the sword does.
>get hit
>die
What did you even expect to achieve here? You thought you could stagger and interrupt his swing with your dagger?
love how even the UI design is stolen from bloodborne
koreans have 0 creative capacity
yes, because From is so creative with each game they make, lol. they totally don't just copy and paste the same shit over and over again.
This is such a stupid argument. In what way are Blodborne,Sekiro and Armored Core 6 copy pasted? Thats more innovation and change than most other studios literally ever do. Try finding that much difference in any Bethesda or Ubisoft game.
you were crying about the ui being "unoriginal", troon. already forget? HRT must not be good for a man's brain.
>levels are absurdly easy and can clear them with zero deaths
>bosses are fricking bullshit hard
What the frick man. I wasted all of my heals and then realized that the pope had a second phase despite being the 4th fricking boss
This game attracts contrarians like flies, who are joined by people coping after paying $70 for something they hoped would be good. It's not enough to just say that it's a good game and a solid effort. The histrionics are out of control
Fromtroony cope
>contrarians
The frick? Souslikes are THE mainstream normie genre right now. If anything, it attracts the lowest common denominator, just like Souls games.
You don't get it. The mondbroken Fromtroony is seething because people DARED to go off brand. Playing a Soulslike not made by From is sacrilege to gays like him. Like plunging a blade in the very heart of our lord and savior Miyazaki.
So just like when Pokemongays were crying about Palworld? Kek.
I don't understand the issue here. He got you anon, let it go.
Posting webms of the game being buggy isn't going to discourage people who enjoy souls games when they're also filled wih the same shit.
I saw the trailer and shrugged it off as shit. I thought that there was no way it would be good. It was a great game. It was way better than I expected.
The best thing about this game is the insanely good performance despite using UE4. Devs really did some magic there.
>anon autisticly seeks out the only thread about a specific game and goes out of his way to save/post random clips to try to besmirch this random game because...some reason no one understands
Idk what the level beyond pathetic is, but you've reached it bud. Please get help.
>How dare you BESMIRCH the good name of my favorite game, good sir!
You've been posting the same thing, the same webms even, since September.
https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/652584783/#652584783
How autistic can you be?
combat doesnt evolve out of the same two or three movements from the bosses. enemy AI is bad and plain.
>literally Bloodborne minus the intricate level design, memorable enemies/locations, and flawless combat
>minus
you mean plus
bloodborne is an r1 mashfest with every area feeling samey
>hasn't mixed and matched his weapon
you're an npc with zero creativity
I played through the entire game with the starting puppet sabre because I just really vibed with the moveset.
boring as frick
I mixed and matched in NG+, homosexual. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
still, why wouldn't you use the most unique mechanic in the whole game? why the frick would you not even slap another blade on it? same moveset, but looks cooler.
bet you use the claymore in souls games for a whole playthrough
>bet you use the claymore in souls games for a whole playthrough
close. I use the Zweihander, kek
I beat Elden Ring with a holy claymore.
and what exactly is wrong with claymores?
boring npc weapon for larping homosexuals
i would use it more if it wasnt so weak because i like claymores but not because of the larping aspect i like them because of that claymore manga
Yeah, it's really fun poking shit to death and I just like the aesthetic. I think it fits the character.
Are you talking about the rapier? Because the sabre is the curved pirate sword.
yeah I meant the rapier
I do like that once you find a moveset you like, you can just keep using that handle and switch out the blade part if you find something that works better.
t. probably played through bloodborne with just the starting saw cleaver
It was ok, but it still doesn't compare to Fromsoftware. These AA Souls-likes need to understand how to up their boss design and combat. The legion arms for example are such a weak underused gimmick
>These AA Souls-likes need to understand how to up their boss design and combat.
The combat in Lies of P is way better than Elden Ring. Bloodborne and Sekiro are the only From games that don't have you just roll around a poke a giant boss that's taking up your entire screen.
>The combat in Lies of P is way better than Elden Ring.
No, it isn't. Enemies are generally very unreactive and samey. The player has basically 0 hyperarmor on almsot any weapon and lacks the ability to play a tank, and many other faults
>almsot any weapon and lacks the ability to play a tank
So?
So that's fricking boring. What's the point of different weapons if they all play the exact same with some fable parry or attack+ gimmicks? Elden Ring weapons feel different, attacks feel meaningful. Yes in an ARPG with so many weapons the slowest, heaviest hitting weapons should have hyperarmor to give the player an aggresive roll, and the fastest, lightest most agile enemies should get staggered more easily. That's the kind of reactivity that makes Souls games so much more fun than any Souls-like. In Souls games the combat is equally defined by the player choice of weapon as much as the posture, stats and moveset of the enemy.
>The player has basically 0 hyperarmor
you dont need that when you can stunlock every enemy to death
also the fact that you can actually use every weapon you find makes it better than elden ring by default
Lies of P has some of the strongest enemy variety of an off brand Souls game. Its enemy variety is so varied it gives Fromsoft a run for their money. Its boss design is quite literally ripped from Froms last 3 games. If you seriously think boss design in this game is amateur I dare you to play Lords of the fallen. That’s a game where bosses have 3 moves max and dog shit telegraphing. I don’t care if you wanna piss on Lies of P because you have an aversion to off brand shit. But put some respect on the devs. They absolutely came through. King of Puppets is easily one of the best Souls like boss fighting in the entire genre.
>These AA Souls-likes need to understand how to up their boss design and combat
Holy bait man.
All bosses and enemies in Lies of P are the same. That's a major issue all Souls-likes have. Even Laxasia or Nameless Puppet are just giant sponges. Compare it to Tivhe or Malenia that stagger like nothing and rely on moving/attacking hyperarmor giving a completely different feel from Fire Giant or Morgott, and that shows why Souls games feel so great to play whereas Souls-likes don't feel as good. You can put all customizeable transforming super duper sticks you want, but only in Souls games you feel the meaningful different of each weapon and spell and the meaningful difference of each boss.
>no auto-hide for the hud
and dropped
>Booster Glaive Handle with A Tech scaling
>Big Pipe Wrench Head +7
Yep, it's gaming time
Up to a point. After a while the game just keeps dragging on and on while the level design and enemy encounters deteriorate. That final stretch with scaffolding the tower is such a downgrade compared to earlier sections of the game.
The bosses are also frustrating later because their attacks are spastic and their moveset goes directly against the game's mechanics. Game teaches you so much about perfect blocks or poise when later it's useless against infinity poise bosses and the actual best method is to just constantly strafe left or sprint away when the red attack comes lol. Or the cancer bosses like Walker of Illusions that has so many sudden mixups and unreadable attack animations that it'd unironically be more predictable to fight a real human opponent.
Elden Ring burned me out of Souls formula for forever. I simply won't play it due to that no matter how interesting or good it is. I played the demo for like an hour and just dropped it due to that. I won't look into ER DLC either. I liked Armored Core 6 though. So I will look into other non-Souls Fromsoft games if they ever make them.
How the enemy varieties?
pretty good
What do you mean by pretty good? More enemy varieties than Nioh 2?
About what you'd expect. There's lots of different enemies but many of them within the same areas adhere to the same designs and attacking philosophies.
About what am i expect? Same reskin puppet with baton or gun or exploded and zombie dog zombie human?
Frick no, the enemy varieties is even worse than Nioh. Its all the same puppet reskin and the second part is carcass (mutated zombie) reskin
There's a basic formula that is used throughout the game but there a lot of variations to them as well as unique enemies and all the way to the end of the game, the game will keep throwing unique encounters at the player.
Victor, La Sexia and Nameless Puppet are top tier even if I still keep getting trounced by this last one.
Laxasia in particular feels really rewarding to learn the fight, if anything they should give her phase 1 some extra tricks like canceling out of her long strings even if it's pretty funny to see people run to the other end of the bridge and she still catches up to them.
I don't like the Simon fight though, I wish phase 2 was more of a spectacle/gimmick fight.
Are you the anon from the AC6 thread?
Shit, seems I'm the only who liked the final area. I agree the insides are visually drab but the entrance with those giant hands plus the background music is top tier.
What is the next From killer?
Palworld
Does Palworld count as a “soulslike?”
It's a BotW-like similar to Elden Ring. It is Elden Ring killer more specifically.
>It's a BotW-like
So its not a soulslike?
Then why its a Fromkiller?
Didn't play it yet, but I'm pretty sure it has an auto lock on melee so no
I liked that at first you can only hear the springs humming when rolling over, but the more human the P gets, the more frequent the sighs of effort creep in. Nice detail.
yeah i'm not sure if the character animations changed and became more 'fluid' if you gained humanit (i don't think they did) but all the character actions like rolls or taking damage or swinging start sounding like a human exerting himself
where do I unlock the long hair
it grows as you become more human. you get it after King of Puppets if you've been lying enough.
I love watching the asiatic-anon's little temper tantrums. Just wind him up and watch him go.
This game's story disappointed me. There's two systems that work, either have a fully fledged story with acts and characters (think Jedi Fallen Order) or leave it mysterious and interpretative (like Dark Souls). LoP's story is in that awkward middle ground where it's not too vague and tries to develop a story, but puts in so little work into the story that just about every character feels shortchanged. I still have no idea who or what the frick Gemini is despite the story initially hinting at his importance, the alchemists and the villain are nothinburgers. So much of the characters and ideas feel shortchanged as a result.
Game should've had the fully fledged story approach. The core storyline ideas are solid enough and none of the characters are insufferable apart from Gemini. The animal stalkers were cool.
As for gameplay, it's p good as long as you understand how good carrying capacity is. Leveling up stamina or resist doesn't mean shit compared to maxing out carry weight to let you wear the heaviest armor amulets without slowing yourself down.
LoP's story has the same problem to me as Fromsoft games, trying to make something feel emotional or tragic when 0 effort was previously put into giving the player a reason to care. Oh nooo faceless petrification plague lady by the window #921 with 0 relation to any character in the game said a total of two sad lines of dialogue and asked for her sister to forgive her, am I supposed to really feel emotional at this? Honestly if this stuff gives you "the feels" there's something really off with you.
>noooo, where is my 20 minute cutscene with emotional cello music?!
>moron immediately goes to the other extreme
I don't need that, I need a narrative reason to give a damn.
You will never be human, puppet
Honestly I felt the complete opposite way, I've never given a single frick about any character in Dark Souls but LoP actually got me to care about the Hotel gang.
One of the reasons I like Souls is that you get exactly what you want out of the game. If you want to listen to lengthy monologues of crazy people and go into details, reading descriptions of each item and auting, wondering how to fulfill this or that quest (and whether there is a quest) - please.
You want to go like a tank through the whole game, metasloping and not listening to a single dialog for the game - your right.
Nobody tears out your control at every checkpoint, does not twist your camera and does not make you listen to the nonsense of some Black person monkey in an unskippable cutscene.
You are the master of your game, and you play by your own rules.
Miyazaki's design taught me to exhaust dialogue and come back to NPCs fairly frequently. To read items and notes as I go along. I always liked this approach to story telling, it doesn't bother those who couldn't care less about the story while those who do have to immerse themselves a little more and sort of piece together a puzzle with the pieces they come upon. It's something that is present in Lies of P as well although it does have actual cutscenes focused on just exposition. Kind of a best of both worlds scenario. Maybe it does fall short for those who rush through the game I wouldn't know.
Another part of Miyazaki's design I like is how the dialogue respects the player's attention. If you've notice in From games whenever you talk to NPCs they usually keep it brief and consise, they never tell you something that isn't at least somewhat important. Maybe it's a Japanese thing but if you compare it to capeshit or games like Borderlands that just bombard you with irrelevant chatter and quiffs you'll see what I mean.
>Close your eyes
>Come to me
>Feel all right
>Just dance with me all through the night
This song alone made me feel more emotional than anything in Dark Souls
So you like cringe shit, kpop and soap drama, thank for letting us know, gay
This week I got Lies of P since it's free now
Having fun, it's like I get to play Bloodborne again but on PC with great performance.
It really does feel like a From Soft game, I haven't played a Soulslike from another studio that hit the mark this well.
The only things I don't exactly love are how the parrying and dodging works and there's no hyperarmor. Gonna see if I can make up for it within the P-Organ (moronic name btw) later.
Also the Weapon Assembly is pretty cool, keeps the spirit of Bloodborne while providing something new and fresh.
Surprised at how much I like it, what a great game.
same. I actually bought it. since I tend to buy games I like like to support the devs. I'm a moralgay pirate, sadly.
Some fable arts have hyper armor, hell there's literally a fable that straight up gives you hyperarmor for the duration.
The hand of a master craftsman is well felt in this masterpiece.
all this shows is that whoever is playing is bad at the game
>We have Elden Webmschizo at home
At least that guy posted things that made sense, and not just himself being a fricking shitter
In this game, sometimes clearing a location is harder than getting past a boss.
not really. only level that comes to mind is the cathedral.
Those bastards patched this out because people thought the jump scare was cringe because it comes right after the Sophia moment. I personally thought it was funny lol
The bosses in the second half of the game are bullshit. Yeah go on say skill issue, no. It's not the difficulty. The game explicitly teaches you to riposte and hop and roll and break enemy stagger. Turns out all of those are shit aganist bosses like Laxasia, you're supposed to trivialize her with just walking away during her attacks or using summons because enemy boss AI has no idea how to fight against summons.
?feature=shared
skill issue
Most bosses have attacks that you can walk away from, or just let you run behind them for free.
ikr
miyazaki knocked it out of the park with this one
Just beat swamp monster. Was hardest by far. Took around 20 tries I think. Are laxasia and nameless harder than him?
not if you know how to parry
Depends on how you play. Swamp monster is difficult when you refuse to position yourself properly, Laxasia and Nameless are difficult because they attack really fast and hit hard.
Im good at parrying fast attacks but suck at slow/delayed ones. I should be good with those two then
The way to parry the slow delayed attacks is to press block the moment you see the attack speeding up.
Different kinds of difficulty I think, Swamp Monster was hard but I didn't have fun fighting him, while Laxasia was also hard but I had a ton of fun fighting her.
>Are laxasia and nameless harder than him?
absolutely
Laxasia is all the memes about Malenia's bullshit design dialed up to 11
There's nothing bullshit about Malenia or any Elden Ring boss
People struggled on Laxasia? I got that b***h in 3 tries, she's so easy to parry.
some people just refuse to parry, for some reason.
It’s hard and I’m jumpy like a frog
>she's so easy to parry
to you maybe
to me parrying her was an absurd task because you wouldn't need to parry one attack, you'd have to parry that weird mixup of delays and speedups 7-8 times in a row, if you miss one she staggers you and you're done
Parry a couple and dodge out of the rest then
watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6SOnaRnrpI
0:23 - 0:35
if you found that easy to parry then well done, i sure as frick didn't until i fought her at least 8 times and memorized the combo completely
You can just walk away from it. If you have a fast weapon you can stay behind her and spam charge attacks as she walks in a circle like a tard.
oh so you can parry the grab-lunges. think i always just sidestepped those
you just need to not be a b***h and do a suicide run a few time to learn her timing. people that say shit is "impossible" never even try learning to counter it in the first place. like waterfowl. I got that shit down in 15 minutes,
Not everyone likes to memorize patterns like a monkey. That's why some of the criticism goes to Bloodborn like games.
If you want to pass, you can nerd out here and here or frick off. About zero variability, sit wanking timings or get into the maze of consumables, sharpening and other clutter of game elements, so that in battle as a pianist perfectly squeeze everything and fricking proud of themselves.
Total bullshit.
then don't play these types of games, lol. I don't know what you want form me.
I want you to frick off with your opinion, I always play by my own rules, son.
Why not just watch a no commentary Youtube playthrough at that point?
This is why I never trust Ganker's opinions on a game. They do shit like this and then come into threads and talk about games as if they actually played it.
>need to use a trainer because you're a shitter

If you want to kill game bosses first try then Soulslikes aren't for you
>That's why some of the criticism goes to Bloodborn like games.
This never made sense. In Fromsoftware games you can furst time bosses and don't rely on memorization/learning except maybe Sekiro. All fightd except maybe Amygdala in BB are easy to first time. Even Malenia can be just blocked
You can first time bosses in Lies of P as well. I beat Viktor and Manus on my first playthrough (pre-nerfs).

the first half of this game was absolute kino in terms of environment aesthetics, level design, music, overall feeling
in comparison to all that, the second half was such a snoozefest, endless path of grey and ugly and i just wanted the game to end already so it can end on a high note
tech fair is great, frick off
the only area I really hated was the Alchemist's lair. you're infiltrating a mad scientists lair and all you end up finding is a bunch of empty halways with the same copy and pasted rock texture and bunch of high level enemies and mini-bossed randomly placed around corners. it felt like I was playing an unfinished game.
Getting to see this lost kino in a game was amazing, idk what you are smoking

Sometimes i feel lke i'm the only one who used this weapon. The charge attack is outright gamebreaking.
>cursed knight's halberd handle
>dancer's curved sword blade
yep, it's aesthetics time
I finished lies of P yesterday. I felt like the game was a very solid 7 overall.
Great setting and aesthetic, with interesting characters and bosses, but the game tried to be dark souls too hard. My general list of complaints:
>equipment weights so that you couldn't take advantage of weapon swapping without becoming overweight
>Some mutually exclusive missable quests and their item requirements you will have 0 knowledge for unless you look it up beforehand
several areas drag on too long
>general lack of trash enemy variety and challenge
>weapon balancing being kind of bad as some were just objectively much better than the others
>several areas dragging on for way too long
>bgm in most areas being bad or outright missing (although the records were great)
Still enjoyed my time with it despite these flaws. Hope their next project turns out better.
Weapon weight needs to frick off, that shit is terrible in souls too and leads to most of your gear slots being completely unused. Nioh did it right by limiting weight to armor only.
At the very least they should make it so that only the weight of the held weapon counts. I don't understand why this isn't the default for the genre.
Yeah I remember my first playthrough of darksouls largely consisting of being naked with a zweihander only. Simply because armor wasn't needed if I hit the enemy hard enough with a heavy weapon.
And I spent almost half my level ups just upgrading equipment weight in lies of P so I could keep up with the progressively heavier gear pieces you get. Really felt like they only put it in because fromsoft did it.

I had fun until nameless puppet now i have no desire to play
If you're filtered just summon sis. He's the last boss of the game anyways.
you can't summon on Nameless Puppet
oh right
Nameless puppet is the best fight in the game though.
I know its just this whole final level has been such a slog, i dont have the motivation to do another boss immediately after the last one
pretty neat if the rumors are true the sequel will be based on the wizard of oz
Lies of P illustrates the one thing I don't like about Soulslikes, how you're supposed to manage your stamina, but the stamina bar is tucked away in the corner of the screen.
So you have to look away from the fight to look at how your stamina is doing.
It's been annoying design since Dark Souls 1.
Why don't they put the stamina bar somewhere within your vision????
Found a good game for those who like to keep track of every fart.
I think you just gave me cancer
looks kino
Just play dex and you don't have to worry about that lol
>speed of dex weapons with the reach and power of str weapons
why haven't you taken the curved (great)sword pill?
I used this until I got my darling the Puppet Ripper. Then I just never wen't back.
Surely you have a Slash, Strike and Pierce damage weapon ready for each occasion in the game right Anon?
I have the Two Dragons sword for boss fights and Puppet Ripper for clearing out normal mobs. Since the range and damage on the charged heavy attack is just absurd.
That handle with the Acidic CGS blade on a DEX build is just *chef's kiss*
What are anons favorite combos? Besides that, mine are
Rapier+City Longspear
Dancer CS+Booster Glaive
Cursed Knight Halberd+Coil Mjolnir
Spear of Honor+Pistol Rock Drill
They really need to fix the crank system, either improve the effect or let me pump more cranks into a weapon. As is, it severely damps viable options, especially Advance.
Puppet String is easily the best one but my personal favorites are Deus Ex Machina and Pandemonium.
For the first update, Pandemonium gives you a really function and DEM is highly underrated, it does decent damage, good stagger damage, cleans off recoverable health and enemies keep walking into those mines.
>take some fast handle
>slap the biggest blade you currently have on it
Yup, it's guarding and then regaining all your health with one R1 time
What arm tech do you guys use? I havent felt any to be very great so i just leveled up the gun 1 to add some stagger and for a ranged pull that doesnt use a throwable consume
Gun, but I didn't realize I can just buy different arm upgrades for 99% of the game. I thought I had to find them like weapons
shield and puppet string
Did they remove Denuvo? I don't see it on the steam page
I guess so, buying it rn
wow it's so much better than elden ring
I'm not gay.
