Lies of P demo is unplayable garbage

How can a videogame released in 2023 feel so clunky and slow to play? They nailed the aesthetic and atmosphere, but gameplay is pure ass, a thin twink should be swift and light, not tanky and slow. Guess I should have expected as much when people said this was a souls copy. Elden ring was hyped to hell and back only to be a clunky unresponsive mess of a game, I'm genuinely baffled when people say they enjoy the combat in these games

    Souls people can't comprehend that you could have APM over 30 and for each input to be meaningful and important, so they consider anything that doesn't feel like controlling a geriatric to be "button mashing" and won't buy it, actually sad

    You're an idiot.
    The game is about parrying like Sekiro, not spamming dashes.
    Also when the demo ends, you get access to a skill there were one of the options is to buff the dash, so it will be possible to make a dash build like BB.

        No, you can parry/block in reaction, old man.
        If you block you take minimal chip damage and can rally it back by attacking.

          Not really with the heavy sword. Blocking a single attack is about 3 hits to recover. Most enemies die in 2 so you have to quickly learn not to need block on standard enemies. Bigger enemies don't recoil from your hits so you will NEVER get more than 1 in except in the embarrassingly frequent chance that the collision logic fails and the enemy whiffs right through your guard giving you a free rally.
          You have to dodge but it's ER dodging where the window is tight and failure to hit this weird and arbitrary timing window results in a 100% guaranteed chance to hit magnet attack right to your head. Also it's a combo.
          Parries are helpful once you've learned them, but of course failure means a corpse run which has always and will always suck balls. But then the enemies have those unblockables that can only sometimes be parried but have highly ambiguous dodge windows.

          tl;dr I wanted bloodborne, but they gave me souls.

            The game is focused on parries more and in that way would be closer to Sekiro if anything. The stamina consumption is kind of high and limits aggression somewhat which make it slower though. The unblockables can only be parried but you can simply move out of the way with dodging to avoid some of them. Like the lightning boss has that one where he jumps in the air and shits out an AOE in a ring around himself. I never parried that and instead just dodged it then got in close.

          all of those had a posture bar. Also parrying in lies of p feels laggier and less reponsive than Sekiro. Also those bosses didn't have weird jerky robot animations. You were also far more agile in Sekiro than in Lies of P

          If you're going to make your game centered around sekiro-style posture breaking then not showing the posture bar and making the character move like it's Dark Soul 1 is fricking dumb.

    I liked the demo but the aesthetic was probably the weakest part. It is soulless compared to Bloodborne, with every street feeling void of meaningful detail. I don’t think it makes it a bad game, but for a game explicitly wearing its inspiration on its sleeve, it fails to replicate even a fraction of Bloodborne’s atmosphere and detail in minutae.

    Finished it the other day, it was pretty good. Lighting boss was tough but I got him down eventually. Didn't summon though. The game is focused on timed blocks but dodging is still important too. Charged attacks work well for guard breaking. I mainly used the rapier and greatsword. I'd like the fable arts guage to charge faster in the full game. Leveling up should be done from anywhere too. I could see this demo filtering people that aren't great action games. Lot of timings to get used to.

    I enjoyed the demo but I'd like to see some more varied weapons in the full game. Two-handed weapons and dual wield weapons for example. I don't know if the legion arm system will allow anything like that though and if all weapons are one-handed only.

    I used to cry about bosses not staggering in Sekiro until I got good and started using block and parry correctly

    sony is having to preemptively shit on koreaborne because bloodborne remains one of their most precious exclusives
    don't be mistaken, they would denounce it and claim it was always a shit game if from got off their lazy rehashing asses to port bloodborne to PC

      Uh yeah i wonder why one is more expensive than the other
      Also imagine using "copypasted" as an insult to other games when the entirety of elden ring is just copypasted bosses and recycled assets
