Sometimes the goyslop just fills the gullet proper. You love slop and can't get enough.
let's be real, if you were told this game was a new title made by Fromsoft with zero other changes you would be claiming how it's GOTY
I would be claiming it's soulshit and I would be right.
>this game was a new title made by Fromsoft
it would not be as shitty then
Straight facts
there would be even more complaints about the floaty unsatisfying combat and the lamp gimmick shillgay this game is mediocre at best
everyone hates dark souls 2 so that's clearly not true
You just outed yourself as a ds3 baby
no i'm scum that started with dark souls on the 360. i played through dark souls 2 again last year, sotfs made it even worse. gonna just bust out the black armor edition if i ever get suicidal enough to want to play it again.
No, actually if this was made by Fromsoftware there would be 10x more shitposting as seen from ER
nice bait
nice truth
If this game had been made by Fromsoft 80% of the board would be shitposting about how awful it is for the next three months.
Unlike DaS2 and DaS3? Even Elden Ring got a lot of flak here for its flaws.
If this game were released by Fromsoft it would be Dark Souls 2 all over again with people endlessly shitting on it.
no matter how flawed the game is, if miyazaki is the director it's going to be critically acclaimed lol. dark souls 2 was mainly shat on because it was made by tanimura
no, Dark Souls 2 was mainly shat on because it was fricking trash
So was Dark Souls 3 and people pretend it's a masterpiece because Miyazaki's name is attached to it
Dark Souls 3 gets plenty of criticism. The game just happens to be mediocre instead of absolute garbage so it gets less than 2.
Dark Souls 3 only receives criticism on Ganker. Everywhere else people pretend it's as good as DaS1.
dark souls 3 is only praised because it came out after the shitturd that 2 was
nah ds3 gets its fair amount of criticism. it's only praised by ds3 babies
what
said
Literally no one knows who makes games
This is such a fricking cope. Enemies are moronic even the mooks in Elden Ring are smarter. Your roll is insanely long. Move sets for bosses so far are weaker than anything From has made since DS2. You can’t swap weapons. Movement and attacking is absolutely jank in comparison to anything by Fromsoft. Like I know this is bait but just because you have white people saying gobbledyasiatic about muh kill the demon lord doesn’t automatically mean it’s literally muh Fromsoftware. Jesus Christ kill yoursefl
Not everything can be as tight as Sekiro but this game is pretty damn good so far. Worth the 2 hours of work I need to do to pay for it. I've already gotten 6 hours of fun from my 2 hours work investment. Seems like a good return.
Yeah but Fromsoft is the one every shitty knockoff is trying to copy
I would be claiming it's DS2 2
If this was made by Fromsoft Ganker would be claiming the perfomance issues are "soul" and comparing it to Blighttown and Bloodborne
hurr durr fromsoft durr durr
he's unironically right though you autist
He's unironically wrong. People have been shitposting about Elden Ring for over a year, you think this game would get a pass if it was exactly the same, but with the Fromsoft label?
Because it's not a 7.5.
holy mother of bullshit jesus christ
if you go into umbral for this fight its basically over. sorta unrelated but its pretty shit how every other boss is a gank fight. the boss of the fief is so fricking bad lmao id be pissed if i spent real money on this game and didnt torrent it
I spent money on Lies of P and those shitty bosses and that shit parry mechanic. You think anything can phase me now?
>Lies of P
>shitty bosses
If you're gonna troll at least make it believable lmfao
Shit as in every boss fight was a fricking slog, I still enjoyed the game but it still made me want to strangle the devs
>being tribalistic over soulslikes
sad
Slog in what way? Laxasia, Simon, and Nameless all took me 3-5 tries (maybe a bit more with Simon) and I unironically thought they were too easy if anything
> 5 tries
lol shitter
you're a liar or you cheesed the game you need to kys
also kys
I'm not lying nor did I cheese or use spectre. Nameless Puppet took me 3, Simon five, and Laxasia 5. They really aren't that bad
Lies of P bosses and enemies are like a billion times better designed than anything in this turd
>every other boss is a gank fight
So far in the game I've only seen 2 and even then, crying because you have to deal with more than one enemy at a time is a sign of a shitter.
Have you fought The Hollow Crow? Have you been to the Revelation Depths? Everybody defending this game just hasn't gotten past the first two levels so they don't know what they're in for im convinced
I've only just entered the mine, Still haven't progressed past the first ice zone bonfire and I've lit up the tower of penance beacon.
After all that shit I can safely say that no, not every other boss is a gank boss like you're whining about.
The only 2 so far involved dogs which I killed in two hits and the actual bosses were trivial.
>just got to the mine
>barely past like the third level
Yeah that's what I thought, you have no clue what you're talking about lol you haven't gotten to the real shit yet.
past like the third level
Yeah cause I was off doing the other paths.
I'll probably shit on these supposed "gank fights" first try like I did both times already while you're gonna continue crying about it like a little b***h cause your rotten brain can't handle more than 2 enemies at once.
Go back to playing your fromslop with 1 tanky enemy per hallway.
Sure buddy. Sure you will. Also, nowhere did I say they were too difficult or overtuned. It's just boring as frick to not be able to design a good boss so you just throw waves of normal enemies in the mix. Lazy ass devs, even the final boss is just killing normal enemies LOL
>It's just boring as frick to not be able to design a good boss so you just throw waves of normal enemies in the mix
>DURR VARIETY BAD EVERY BOSS SHOULD JUST BE LONE ANIME SWORDSMAN
You should play more vidya before talking about bad design, kid.
If they were good bosses with normal enemies I wouldn't be b***hing, but theyre bad bosses that they compensate for by adding in normal enemies. Big difference fatty
Really? Cause it seems like you're b***hing that there are normal enemies regardless. You're just denying because you have no actual criticism besides "Wahhh this gank fight was annoying, I can't handle more than 1 enemy at a time what POOR design!!!"
>guy who has played 20% of the game think he knows how the whole game will go
>completely writes off all criticism despite not even playing half of the full game
Just shut the frick up and keep playing man, you'll see when you get there
>Guy who claims to have played most of the game claims its bad
>Literally can't name or describe any reason why
You are either lying or are lacking in so much critical thinking skills that you might as well be functionally moronic.
I liked the Hollow Crow...
You have bad taste. Cool aesthetics, awful mechanics
Just fought hollow crow. You're still a moron.
That is the first time things simply felt outright dumb to me. There doesn't seem to be any good way to approach it.
>There doesn't seem to be any good way to approach it
don't die and get stuck in umbral. Some fights (like the upcoming crow fight) require you to be in either Umbral or Axiom to finish them
>Some fights require you to be in either Umbral or Axiom to finish them
Wait, you mean there are bosses where your "extra life" is actually meaningless and if you die you effectively need to just restart?
>Wait, you mean there are bosses where your "extra life" is actually meaningless and if you die you effectively need to just restart?
for Umbral-exclusive fights, yes. For Axiom-exclusive fights (like the axe-wielding frost guy) getting kicked into Umbral just makes the fight so difficult you might as well restart
Crow doesnt need you to go umbral.
Just pull the funky person and slap it until it dies several times.
I never went umbral and that worked.
It is easier in umbral however.
Kek this was easy hold your lamp up kill the blue thing then kill the wolf's they go down in 1 shot then it's just you and the boss. I've found this to be the easiest souls like I've ever played
>in a panic to get an item quick
mimic
I swear to god, they knew exactly what they were doing. I know you can check, but they put them in the spots where you specifically don't have time to look. Fug
...that's it? From the promotional material I would have thought she was more important, but I literally just one-shot her fight, and it was the first "double health bar cutscene phase transition" fight too. How disappointing.
>literally malenia in berserker armor with avelyn
0 creativity
No more redhead swordswoman allowed in vidya i guess.
I actually laughed when she did Gael's "jump in the air and crossbow barrage" attack.
Red head Amazon swordswoman is a trope thats nearly 100 years old by this point.
>literally malenia
Ah yes Miyazaki invented women with red hair
When you make a blatant souls clone and make your boss wear a berserker armor while having red hair, you fricking know what she's going to be compared with
Malenia doesn't wear berserker armor, brainlet. The only similarity those two characters have is red hair. I don't know why you people are comparing this boss to Malenia when it's actually a Twin Princes ripoff.
They made Malenia the Artorias Gale because soulslikes as a genre is purely derivative
And then the phase transition is Twin Princes from DS3, kek.

because it's bad and you're so entrenched in being a contrarian Gankeraggot you've lied to yourself. forced enjoyment.
Then it's a 10/10
Stop being a moronic homosexual who is biased by fricking twitch streamers and metacritic and start judging by how fun you had.
Objectively is the keyword due to it's jankiness like the frame rate, crashes, quality of cutscenes and npcs, lack of true weapon variety and other annoyances like attacking distance but everything is hitting all the marks. I'm actually feeling tension and curiosity all the time in a good way and i never had that with souls aside from BB/Sekiro.
It's not mathematics there is no objective metric in judging a video game moron.
I repeat, you should rate a game by how fun it is.
What's the deal on the marketing of this game? I keep seeing threads for it that always die after like 40 posts with no actual, substantive conversation on it.
There's no webms of any sort of fun gameplay.
There's no discussion on the lore of the game.
There's not even screenshots of fashion or anything.
I'm genuinely curious why these shill threads keep popping up; no way are you going to tell me people on Ganker are actually buying this game and not refunding it.
There was literally a 500+ post thread earlier, with webms and gameplay discussions
stop replying to double digit IQ morons
>There's no webms of any sort of fun gameplay.
You won't find any.
>There's no discussion on the lore of the game.
Nobody cares about the lore of this game except some very obvious marketers that mysteriously vanished the second the game came out.
https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/649226180/#649232608
>There's not even screenshots of fashion or anything.
The fashion is ok to be honest, but too much of it has skin showing for my liking. One thing it does do that I like is the armor tint system where you can dye sets or individual pieces different colors to make pieces match. Would be nice if Fromsoft did something like that someday.
damn I want to buy this game but i also dont want to spend 50 bucks
get the pirated version
There's no Denuvo, you can just pirate it. No FOMO over online play either since the online is broken.
The online isn't "broken", I've already collected a million invader items, it just ha a much higher propensity to be shit if you have a poor host
It's actually pretty decent right now. Not sure what people were talking about. I've done multiple invasions and won against the host without having to cheese
It'll be half off in no time
There have been consistent threads for the past few days.
I'd post webms, but I'm on the PS5 and am too lazy to transfer footage at the moment.
There actually was a thread which actually reached the limit and had lore discussion but it was mostly by the marketing team. But yeah, you are right in general
Because playing a janky experimental game can be a lot of fun compared to streamlined AAA-slop that has all been the same since 2007.
Same reason as why people tended to enjoy the surge 1/2 so much despite their objectively middling qualities:
You can tell the game was designed for the player to have fun, and most of the faults are usually more annoyances than critical errors or issues that break the game.
Hell, I even enjoyed lotf 2014 (or was it 2013? i don't remember) because the whole bonus objectives in boss fights for extra gear was a pretty new idea to me.
i've seen some people say that dark crusader is bad, why
it seems to have the best starting stats
also what the frick do they mean with "advanced class"
If you mean in the pyromancer description, what it actually means is "you will get frick all spells or equipment until like 9 areas into the game fighting mostly enemies resistant to fire, while Radiance builds eat like kings and experience the game on easy mode, and then suddenly you get busted weapons and spells and curbstomp the rest of the game".
I went with Dark Crusader and besides the cool armor there is nothing great about the class. The stat distribution points towards a STR/RAD build, but you start without a catalys and with a STR weapon. If you go with the Preacher you not only get a catalyst, but you also get a STR/RAD hammer on top of it. I ended up buying that fricking hammer and I am still using it (just killed the Hushed Spirit) and I ended up manually leveling RAD to 18 to use the better catalyst you get from that NPC on swamp which is the amount of RAD the Preacher starts with.
There is barely any point on going Dark Crusader outside of getting the John Fallen armor right away.
I went Dark Crusader because it's kino, he's on the cover art, and you pick up the mantle of the homie who gave up at the start of the game. It's ludokino distilled.
went with dark crusader too, confirmed kino
>sword of skin and tooth
Yeah...it's gamer time
Iprobably the worst possible combat you can make in a 3rd person action game, I don't think there is any part that's just OK, it's pure fricking trash.
Literally the only thing that somewhat salvaged the combat for me was ultra greatsword class
They actually pancake, launch and throw foes around. The inferno ugs also routinely creates explosions on every second hit because of its 300 status.
FRICK I went into Agility, is there any way to respec early?
You can buy a one time respec from the Umbral merchant in the hub area, but the next vendor with more of them can be killed if you choose the obvious progression path in the Cistern.
I just found GS in my inventory that requires 25 Agi lmao
>all weapons within a weapon class share exactly the same moveset
>which means the second inferno and radiance builds find their weapon they grossly overpower pure melee to an absolutely unfunny degree because they have casting instead of just throwing axes and rocks on a super limited ammo pool
Nice fricking game lmao
you're either using mana or using ammo. I don't see the problem here
throwing items are great in the game. and it makes pure str/dex or quality builds actually versatile
people just aren't using them because they want pyro or radiance shit
I don't know about bows, but physical throwables deal ridiculous damage. The advantage of casters is more the utility and buffs than simple damage.
Ammo pouches aren't very expensive.
It's the best non-Fromsoft Soulslike in existence.
that's lies of p
>game loops back to starting area
When souls games do this shit it makes me grin every time
for me it's
>you can actually see all locations in the game world at their actual locations, even ones that are several hours of gameplay apart
Is there a good like story reason for doing it? I only lliked i in ds1 because you spend your time going to lower burg -> depths -> blighttown -> fricking hell and then you get the chance to go all the way back home thru a much easier and interesting look route aka valley of the drakes
>Give the final tablet to blacksmith chick
>Get a rune that reduces weapon/shield weight to 0 and stat requirements to 0
Holy shit that seems strong.
that's sick as frick actually
Yeah and you only had to sentence her innocent slave to death for it.
>Why is that?
Because you were paid to say so
>Fun world
>Lots of stuff to change yourdude - cool progression
>Not dogshit combat (when running properly)
Its literally that simple but fromsoft imitators keep fricking it up. Lies of P made a good combat system but forgot to put it in an interesting game world, and thats the best example that comes to mind.
>Lots of stuff to change yourdude - cool progression
unless you actually want new movesets because you will see everything the game has to offer in first 5-8 hours
Oh no. I can't believe daggers and greatswords have exactly the same moveset. Dark Souls never had weapons that repeated movesets.
the only game in souls series that completely repeated movesets within all the classes was des, homosexual
And Demon's Souls is still a great game
Coming out in the same year as lies of p with its 50 fricking weapons that mostly have original or rarely repeated movesets does this shitty game no favour.
So? Lies of P's level design is much weaker than Lords of the Fallen's. Doesn't make it a bad game.
>Lies of P's level design is much weaker than Lords of the Fallen's
No it's not lmao, don't let the samey environments confuse you, they are about the same in terms of exploration, just with the umbral gimmick slapped on top of it (which is mostly used to hide a shitty weapon you won't even use).
Funny attemp to shift the focus away from dreadful moveset variety though. Get fricked.
Anon, I stated that moveset variety within weapon classes literally does not matter and then gave Demon's Souls as an example. You are the one who compared the game to Lies of P.
And the level design is MILES above in Lords of the Fallen. The sheer amount of shortcuts and loops is crazy.
I get you have a hateboner for this game for some reason, but you are just blatantly wrong. I'd honestly say that the level designs are better than Dark Souls 1 pre-Lordvessel
>Anon, I stated that moveset variety within weapon classes literally does not matter and then gave Demon's Souls as an example
And you're a fricking moron because DeS is a 15 years old game significantly outdated in terms of gameplay mechanics and outright boring to replay at this point.
>The sheer amount of shortcuts and loops is crazy.
It's literally the same fricking looping design as in lies of p, just with more clutter to confuse your moronic brain.
>It's literally the same fricking looping design as in lies of p
What looping design? level in lies of P go in a basic numbered order, with literal numbers on top. The game has to use loading screens constantly when you leave the hotel, too. nothing is truly attached.
Let's not bring up loading screens bro. I'm having fun but if I see one more loading bar when I go to a bonfire I'm gonna fricking lose it.
>level in lies of P go in a basic numbered order
Bonfires in LOTF do in an organized fashion too. Thus far i've seen a SINGLE loopback to an earlier level and it's completely pointless whereas inside the same level both P and LOTF have literally the same design philosophy of looping back to a single checkpoint via shortcuts.
>Bonfires in LOTF do in an organized fashion too.
and here's the crazy thing: you can find most of them out of order!
>most of them
no you won't
there's only a few bonfires that are really out of the way like a useless pvpBlack person temple
otherwise you need to literally run past a bonfire room
>no you won't
yes you can
No you don't. All bonfires are literally in the main progression path. It's impossible to avoid them unless you just ignore them.
moron alert
I accept your concession
I accept your concession
Not that anon, but you're wrong. It's possible you just haven't seen them yet but you already said you were further into the game so I think you're either just dumb or lying
Pretty sure it's the guy who saves other people's webms/images in order to pretend that he plays video games since all he wants to do is shitpost
That homosexual lurks in nioh threads, haven't seen him here
I wouldn't put it past a shitposter to just look up the name of an endgame area to give their posts fake legitimacy
"UH GUYS, I'M IN [fextralife area 10] AND I JUST NOW THINK THAT THIS GAME IS SHIT"
kek
It's also a discord troony. It targeted lies before this and is lazy so it's just reusing stuff.
>The lore, art design, combat and animations may not be as good as Elden Ring but it's still a much better game.
>everything is worse than in Elden Ring
>but it is still a better game than Elden Ring!
I would prefer if this game had more movesets, but the overwhelming majority of "different movesets" in Dark Souls is fricking bloat. You never fricking want to use a Broadsword over a Longsword, the Broadsword moveset is just strictly worse. There are lots and lots of weapons with this problem. Alternatively, there are also many weapons that are good for your build because of stats etc, but have atrocious moveset, like every single FTH Halberd in Elden Ring. While all greatswords in this game have the same moveset, it's a good moveset.
I wish I could edit the movesets of weapons in these games, now that would be a good system. Imagine if you could just put the Guardian Swordspear moveset on any halberd in Elden Ring.
Even the fricking DS1 at the very least has two weapons within the class with considerable differences in moveset that dictate the gameplay changes. Claymore and MLGS may as well belong to different classes because of the way they play. When the devs care so little they don't even make boss weapons distinct in any way in terms of moveset, you know shit is fricked. Compare it to lies of p where all boss weapons are unique and powerful enough to define your playstyle.
And yet Claymore's moveset shits on MLGS.
Seriously most greatswords in every souls game doesn't have claymore's moveset despite being the best. it's fricking disappointing.
The only greatswords in Dark Souls 1 that are not strict downgrades from the Claymore moveset-wise are the couple unique ones with special R2s. Every single other one is just Claymore but worse. If people had the choice to give Claymore's R2 to them everyone would do it. Hell I bet people would probably give Claymore's thrust to MLGS if they could.
This is why I say that a lot of it is just bloat and pointless. I am not saying that it's a good thing that Pieta's sword has the same moveset as every other short sword, I am saying that giving every weapon a different moveset just for the sake of it is not necessarily a good thing, some movesets just work and it's fine if they are standardized and repeated on non-unique weapons.

just defeated pieta. so far game is solid, but i don't like the roll thing and having to press l3 to sprint
>having to press l3 to sprint
literally one of the best part about the game's controls, you don't have to claw grip to sprint and control the camera
>clawing instead of just using thumbs
Kys burguergay
do tell how you control the right control stick and hold down a right side face button at the same time?
do you have two thumbs on your right hand?
Why would your sprint button be on (R)?
i have been replaying elden ring quite a lot lately so having to press l3+a(x) to jump feels kinda weird. my biggest issue with the control system tho is having to press 2 times b(o) to roll with target lock
L3 and R3 cause drift to occur faster. Mapping something as important to sprint to it as actually the worst thing a dev can do.
Are your controllers breaking from this? I've used the same xbox one controller on my PC for almost a decade
Yes but I use my controllers a lot. My last one only lasted about 2 years and I took good care of it. That mapping seriously fricks controllers up.
This is without question GOTY. The lore, art design, combat and animations may not be as good as Elden Ring but it's still a much better game.
>elden ring
>good lore
This is one of the best games I have ever played. I am not even saying that to meme. Unironically that is my opinion.
Have you played more than five games?
Yes, I've played literally all Elden Ringlikes, and this one leads them all by a country mile
Explain why without mentioning Elden Ring.
Yes. I play pretty much every big game that comes out.
This game is a masterpiece, and it is not getting the credit it deserves essentially just because fromsoft didnt make it.
Anon, if Fromsoft made it it would be getting shitposted 1000x times worse.
No it wouldnt.
Yes it would. Case in point, people are here shitposting about Elden Ring over a year later.

you can buy a key to open some doors early, enemies are tougher but you'll also have early access to better weapon upgrade materials, if you can survive
That's just a small side path
it's the literal rest of the fricking game. you cannot beat the fricking game without going through those doors eventually.
>linear
How so? There's more than a handful of ways to progress that aren't a straight line. I have the swamp area and fire area available through different paths
frick, the pilgrim's perch or whatever has a moronic number of ways to get through it and that's the first real area of the game
This game has lots of side areas that are completely optional. You'll miss out on crucial things like healing upgrades and lantern upgrades if you miss or ignore them. The segment-for-segment level design is also much more complex.
Lies of P has a whopping grand total of ONE optional area, that area past a gate in the swamp bridge area. Every souls game in the history of existence at least has more level complexity and non-linearity than lies of p and I have no idea how you morons keep trying to push otherwise.
Looking at twitch, I'm shocked by how many streamers, including small ones, they explicitly paid off to promote the game. Some don't allow any criticism of the game. Never seen this done so blatantly
Yeah Ive seen even vtubers sponsored to play this game
yup the early access streams allowed no criticism either otherwise no $, baiting a lot of people into thinking this was a good game
>streamers don't upgrade vitality, neither their weapons

Good thing this is a soulslike and not a souls game then huh
learn to use dodge iframes or parry, the game rewards you for doing it. how many times do you have to be told that you can't just walk away from fights and expect to not get walloped?
the game having forward momentum and tracking on swings is a good thing. why the hell would you stand still while you attack?

I hate this area
You know what you must do, Struggler
Radiant chads, it's time for justice.
Is there any way to "infuse" weapons like in Dark Souls so they scale with Radiance or am I just going to be using Pieta's sword for the rest of the game?
I assume there are runes that can give scaling to weapons, but I am not that far in
do i understand right that radiance is broken and inferno is shit?
Radiance is really good throughout, Pyro is hard mode until like 15 hours in and then gradually snowballs in power.
>7.5/10
what the frick are you doing?
he's trying to shitpost and failing
AHHH I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! Does anyone know the outcomes for this? I kind of want to free Sparky, but I'm guessing Gerlinde can make your weapon stronger with the final tablet?
Anyone know where Damarose goes after you talk to her before the dog lady?
Gerlinde gives you a rune that reduces weapon weight and stat requirements to 0
Gerlindes reward is better in every way.
Still freed sparky though.
Will Sparky continue to be your blacksmith if you choose him?
He leaves, but Gerlinde still smiths for you
It's time to go CLEANSE some HEATHENS
>it's time to go CHEAT some GAMES and then b***h that the game wasn't fun for some reason
This is a good game and you're just ruining it for yourself.
Look at the DRIP, not the stats, moron. That's why I was posting it.

Why does half of every equipment have a crown of thorns? I swear in about 90% of the screenshots there is at least one, if not on the equipment, its on the weapon
Did you somehow not notice how much Christian imagery this game has?
Yeah, the imagery goes hand in hand with the setting. Still, why slap the crown on everything? Its even on a cowboy hat:
wtf no way, that's laughable
because it looks cool. catholicism, jesus, templars n shiet
ahahaha fricking cheater kys
>maximum stats is 200
Oh boy, now this is fricking great, time to grind a lot.
Because you didn't play Lies of P
The devs are somewhat competent but they fell for the "let's streamline it" meme. Why everyone who tries their hand at something succesful always fall for that will always elude me. Souls combat is somewhat "janky", but most of it isn't jankiness at all and has a reason, it mainly being the animations not skating like in others subgenres of ARPG. Some places might feel dull while they are in fact functional (or try to be). You don't need to bloat the world trying to make it look cool, it will obfuscate the cool details and you might end up with shit like umbral (tentacles galores) or Hell's version of India (normal world).
I used to love soulsgames and finish them no matter how much i got rekt, but Lotf feels like a literal chore for me to play. I just get ganked by 8 melee and 3 archers way to often and cant even read item descriptions in peace without getting clapped from an archer 50m away i suck at this game
Anon you don't suck it's just a really poorly designed game. It's literally as if the devs played og shrine of amana and thought "lets make a whole game like this!"
Try to snipe the enemies before they snipe you.
Shit taste. I almost dropped this game in mines section. It's so badly designed holy shit.. anyone who think that good should kys immediately
>Objectively it's a 7.5
because it's a 7.5 for the broader audience

How do I get my controller to work with the fitgirl repack? it's just not detecting the input at all. Im on a PS5 controller and windows 10
So it's a shittier Lies of P then?

Can someone post the instructions on how to disable EAC?
Optimization aside, it's a solid 8.
Blatant Dark Souls plagiarism: the game
This shit doesn't boot for me. I'm getting a DX12 error even though I'm on DX12.
Releases of ue5 for the last two months no longer support windows 10 ltsc.
Well frick them then.
It's like the other anon said. It has to do with the nanite tech or some shit.
I'm on windows 10 and I'm playing it just fine
10 works just not ltsc
im moronic I didn't read that part
Oh sorry anon. I'm sleepy and didn't read everything
It supports. It doesn't support build number from about three years ago tho
I am on LTSC 21H2 and it werks
You need an updated version of W10 (don't remember which one excatly) or W11 which enables Nanite from UE5. And obviously a GPU compatible with SM6.6 (shader model 6.6).
You probably just need to update windows or you driver unless your are running with a RX 200 series or below
it feels like DS 2.5 lol. Shit level design, shit enemies, but the core gameplay is good cuz it was established in previous superior game

the starting cutscene has you playing as a dark crusader and its a $7 dlc
eat up the slop, goyim
You don't know what you're talking about. You're a shitposter that hasn't seen the first cutscene in the game that proves you wrong
The armored guy in the starting cutscene isn’t the player character
The Dark Crusader armor is literally in the first area of the game
Where?
Is the Putrid Child sword actually any good?
I've found all of the weapons with half their dmg being wither dmg to be a total meme. I'm doing an umbral build so i feel forced to use them, but they suck because an equivalent weapon will one-shot an enemy vs a weapon with wither dmg you have to two-shot. It's never an advantage
eat up that slop, goys

you don't care about DLC, you aren't even buying the game. you were already told why you were wrong

ur right lol imagine paying $60 + tip for a pajeet coded western game
if you pirated the game, can you really b***h about the price of anything? delusional
I played it for about an hour and between the lack of creativity and the bad combat I'm finding it hard to find the motivation to carry on with it.
Lamp mechanic is kinda interesting initially, but it just encourages me to constantly hold it up and check to see if I'm missing anything.
Everything else is creatively bankrupt and the combat just feels bad.
The appeal is in the exploration and gear collection. The combat is an afterthought. If the combat is starting to affect your liking of the first two, then it's over
They are somehow worse than DaS2's
Damn.

What are the good spells? I barely ever get to use it beyond weapon buffs
I am currently using
>Latimer's Javelin
>Martyrdom
>Sanctify
>Grieving Gaze
>Blessed Reflections
LJ is for shooting far away enemies, Martyrdom is for AoE, Sanctify is for heals and cleanses, Grieving Gaze is for DPS against bosses (I could probably switch this out, but I like ice spells), Blessed Reflections is for shooting far away enemies/AoE/DPS against bosses
Same, honestly. I just got used to the animations.
Are but are the combat animations as bad as dark souls 2's?
Animations are great but they're slow unless you're using daggers/fists. Most attacks lunge the player forward too much though
I actually like the combat, I think the way they made block/parry work is good, a nice balance were blocking and dodging both have their place, additionally blocking with swords isn’t worthless like in dark souls
How did this gaijin game manage to make a good parry and block system??
Does holding a shield do anything to the parry window, or is it just for blocking
Blocking
Honestly might just use one for the fricking snipers
When you successfully parry with a shield you don't take wither damage
you dont take wither damage parrying with a weapon either
>you dont take wither damage parrying with a weapon either
you absolutely do
maybe not on some weapons? im power stancing the thorned crimson rector thing and i dont take wither from parries.
ah gotcha
ive got 26 vigor just passed spurned progeny and im wondering if its even worth it to put more in? its been basically 2 hits from a boss and im dead the whole game so far.
You do when the parry doesn't break the posture
Are there any quest items that have multiple uses?
Like, I found some item and gave it to the imprisoned chick, but then I figured maybe I could give it to the homie priest instead. Did I frick up?
That item could only be given to her. It's a catalyst.
Was it a good catalyst?
Could I have used it?
It's a good pyric catalyst, but you get it back once you proceed her quest. She should at the entrance of Pieta's boss room after you reload the area.
Yeah, I've already met her there.
She was very cryptic, to say the least.
I'll check back with her after a while.
I dont understand this piece of shit game. Why is everyone two shotting me? Its not fun its dull. I leveled up. I upgraded weapons and I still have to hit a random hollowed Black person 5 times with an axe.
I came here after cleansing the first shit but that first knight is like the end boss I have to fight him 10 minutes each time .
Took me till just a tiny bit later to handle that area.
If you dabble in any kind of casting, buffs help a lot.
For some baffling reason all those doors gate off areas with the same kinds of enemies you've already been fighting, but the content is meant for the player to be like 30 levels higher and to have a +4 or +5 weapon and up first.
>Having the choice to go wherever you want at any point in the game
>For some baffling reason
Thank goodness (glurk glurk) fromsoftware games (glurk glurk) don't do this.
Oh wait...
Don't be a disingenuous gay. The least they could have done is to make the enemies something new instead of just more dudes, like the skellie graveyard in DS1. In fact it feels like most of this game is the same hunched over casters, dogs, and dual-axe barbarians. I suppose in that respect they really are trying to be a parody of Fromsoft, kek.
Why do they have to make them new? Just because they're behind a door doesn't make it a whole different area. You're still in pilgrim's perch just behind a locked door with tougher enemies.
That door leads to a higher level area. The game doesn't indicate this very well. You can go there early, but you are going to get fricked.
I realize this but what makes this absolutely aggravating is the fact that these buttholes that are 30 levels above you give the same amount of experience. So me beating that knight basically rewards me nothing. This game is so fricking bad. I like it but it's only going to be worth something a year from now when they actually finish it
>This game is so fricking bad. I like it
This sounds a bit like Stockholm syndrome, anon.
it will never be finished, it's fundamentally flawed.
Also latest patch just nerfed some bosses and some mobs which is fricking hilarious
mobs need even more nerfing. It's a fricking chore.
Difficulty is the only thing this game has and it's difficult only because it's shit.
The dodge window is ridiculous. I don’t see the point in parrying unless the enemy goes for a multi-hit attack.
It's situationally useful, like against the black reapers that hide in the floor parrying a single one of their attack is usually enough to put them into a riposteable state.
With parries you can facetank bosses and shit on them twice as hard after you stun them. Espectially if you equip shit to do more damage or healing on repostes.
Dodging is the pussy way to play especially with how generous the parry windows are it's just so much better.
Usually enemies have at least one attack that is super easy to parry, I usually focus on dodging until that happens, helps break their poise for big damage
will this run on my toaster

>game crashed
>save corrupted
I think I might not play for a while
>most criticism is about how difficult it is
git gud
It's weird, because it's really not that difficult. Lies of P was much harder in general, while I'm just kind of cruising through Lords of the Fallen. I guess the best way to describe it is "fun difficulty" versus "irritating difficulty". Playing through Lords of the Fallen feels kind of like being in Blighttown and there's those respawning mosquitos that keep pestering you over and over again. You'd have to be asleep to die to them, but they're a persistent irritant. There's no enemies in particular that I can really point to and say, damn, that's a hard/fun fight. You're really just mowing down trash, occasionally getting slapped with a laser from halfway across the screen, turning to swat the caster that shot you, then continuing.
And then the bosses are just kind of there. I don't know how anyone was troubled by Pieta, but she was roughly Gundyr-tier. Of the ones I've fought, 9/15 were actually just regular enemies you fight later on (sometimes even literally in the next room) with a parasite gimmick attached or some adds. The ones that weren't, well again, not very difficult or interesting. I had high hopes for Harrower Dervla for I beat her in one go and was actually baffled there wasn't a phase 3 or something. There's apparently like 30 bosses though, so I guess we'll see how the next 15 are.
>It's weird, because it's really not that difficult.
Here comes another blogpost. We've already seen these words before
If you are too casual, move on. The game is meant to be hard
>The game is meant to be hard
Can you tell me when it starts to get hard?
I just wish the movesets were more varied tbh
It does kind of suck that once you've swung one weapon of each type of you know what all the other ones will be like and are just going to look for the one with the best damage/reach.
I've played this game for 1,7 hours and still have no idea how the lamp thing works. And what's the deal with the telekinesis thing to fling enemies off ledges? Is that ever worthwhile to perform?
And that other multiattack with l1 + r2, that seems like utter garbage with a huge windup for little benefit
>1,7
Not gonna answer to a filthy Euro.
Ugh I can't ever get the , and , right
any xwienerers gettin this shit at the smith lady?

literally makes the hub unplayable for a solid two minutes until you frickin warp outta there. its unbelievable and its only when i go to this area after finding the rune tab
Stopped reading at objectively. Whenever some moron uses "objectively" to describe their opinion on a game it's another fricking shill thread.
SHINE BRIGHTER! MORE HOLY! AHHHHHHHHH
The outfit is getting cooler and cooler, if I could get some angel wings or like a halo or a golden aura it'd be complete.
its fricking insane how PC games are still being released in 2023 without playstation controller support
fricking israelites
doesn't steam have controller support now?
or do you just want playstation icons
both, there's no playstation icons and these games rely on steam for their controller support so they don't work without it. lies of P has the same issue, I can't get ps icons on it and I had to download dswindows to be able to play the lotf repack
I've been using SCP server for years and never had a problem
Hey sony sister, there is already a mod that changes to snoy, calm down.
Stop using playstation controllers, they suck
No, they don't. They're great actually.
>Not playing K+M
Consolegays will be consolegays even when they cope buy a PC
Why would you use a PS controller on PC? Use an Xbox controller like any real gamer does
European game. The Xbox controller is the controller of the huwhite man
The pacing is awful. The levels are super short, then you get to a boss suddenly and then transition to the next poorly designed level
>complaining about "pacing" when weapon hits don't have any visual feedback
play more games you dumb Black person
The levels are not short at all, wtf are you talking about?
yeah honestly forsaken fen was probably the worst frickin place, and doesn't help its right after the second worse area.
i literally cannot play this game because it wont stop freezing
I'm on my 7th attempt to make it past the character creation
This game level design is fricking amazing. Soul kiddos are too fixated on combat to understand what made DS1 special to begin with
ah yes, one of the first major zones in the game: blight-town but somehow even worse. the pinnacle of level design
This is not even the blight-town equivalent, its just a easy area.
its even worse with actual platforming.
kek
not to mention everything looking the exact same in umbral
>he didn’t climb the giant skeleton
yeah, the level design is doghsit. see picrel for more evidence
shit that was wrong image. here you go
Ironically, the actual Blighttown equivalent is the first area that's actually fun.
This place is a walk in the park compared to blight town. It’s only annoying the first time because you don’t expect the guys pushing you off the platforms but after that only a child would have any trouble with it.
not saying it's harder, just bad
oh frick off blighttown was easy mode what the flyin frick are you Black folk saying?
I love Blight town though, morons who get filtered by Blight town have no rights to criticize any game levels.
>souls invented wooden platforms
Almost as bad as zeldagays.
Blighttown is fricking great as a level, frick you.
DS1 with these enemy arrangements and a mechanic that spawns a continuous stream of basic hollows would not have been very good.
WHY DOES IT KEEP FRICKING FREEZING
imagine having the same IP bomb twice by two different developers
>the souls clone is goo-
the actual souls-sekiro clone is lies of P, lords of the fallen is just a joke game
lies of piss is dogshit
sorry didn't know I'm talking to an imbecile
I just pirated it and it just keeps freezing on some loadings. I managed to kill the first boss, died to the dude riding a dragon, and now it just keeps freezing when I try to continue my save. Considering I could run every other game this year just fine, I'm guessing this shit is badly optimized.
Dude I pirated it and I can't get into the game. It keeps freezing in the main menu and chracter creation. What the frick is this
dumb pirategay
Old version of the game. Pirate gays experiencing issues they already fixed
Is this harder to run than Elden Ring? Are people exaggerating performance issues?
Do npc summons affect anything? Like do I need to summon the old guy with the skele arm to continue his quest? The eastern mercenary gal also said I have to pay her if I summon her? I have like, 6 people I can call on for the first beacon and im wondering if I shoulder for story sake.
this guy unironically said it all
his very first point is factually incorrect. not reading the rest tbh
form your own arguments instead of screenshotting incorrect steam reviews
said a bunch of shitter cope, mostly
I really like 30 seconds of the game over screen. it's my favorite.
There's so many little things like that that accumulate to make the game feel like more of a slog than it really needed to be. Souls don't auto-collect, so you either need to be in close proximity or pull out your lamp to suck them in. Elevators automatically close so you can't send it back up/down after you leave it, so if you die you have to manually call it back up again. The death animation feels like it was made artificially long to appeal to players that die during a killing blow of a boss to ensure they'll get the boss kill trigger before theirs goes off. Resting brings up a loading screen bar. It feels like the game just wants to waste your time needlessly.
These complaints are nitpicking at best and moronic at worst.
you're just low iq
Which ones are moronic?
>Holy frick, I’m sure this will be balanced later on in the game
It will still be really fricking good later and can melt bosses, throwing weapons are underrated.
If you're melee you're most likely on top of the enemies anyways to collect souls and using your lamp is 0.5 seconds anyways.
That's kind of my point though—why is it even a thing at all? I don't think any actual Souls game did it like that, and I'm struggling to understand the justification for adding an extra unnecessary step. I guess to force using the lantern even slightly more? Strange design decision.
Probably to avoid farming enemies by just sniping them from a safe distance idk.
But it doesn't actually stop that, is what I'm saying. It doesn't actually do anything other than be slightly annoying.
It doesn't stop that though. I literally use the lamp to grab souls from snipers I kill from far away.
I think it was a way to try to force the player to pull out the lamp even at random points as it will maybe lead them to see something interesting in umbral or get jumpscare punched by a mook and dragged into umbral. It was not the brightest decision though.
The death animation is long to run cover for the fact that ue5 has to reload the shaders
I also like how they respawn and aggre to me wherever I am so I can't even stop and read the fricking item description. But I also like how when I pick something, the notification disappears rather quickly so 90% of the time I can't even see what I've picked up or I will die
These are serious nothingburgers. Holy shit modern gamers are picky
>dude its ok for a game to be shit
having to wait for a loading screen when you die doesn't make the game shit, timmy
Don't you love it when an enemy does not react to being parried in any way whatsoever? How about the stagger indicator being so small that you can't never actually understand which attack depletes it the most
For me it's that the red riposte window is shockingly small. Usually I'm close enough where it doesn't matter but on some larger enemies if I'm not already standing in exactly the right spot I can't get to it before the window closes.
>Don't you love it when an enemy does not react to being parried in any way whatsoever?
What do you mean? It's a Sekiro deflect, not a DaS parry. Also, there is a sound effect when you hit a parry even when the parry doesn't break the enemy posture.
Except in Sekiro he reacts and pauses for a second if its a perfect parry while in this game they just continue to spam there attacks. Sure there's a sound effect but its meaningless cause the enemy is still swinging like crazy.
No, they don't, what are you talking about? Enemies never interrupt their combo in Sekiro because of a deflect unless the deflect breaks their posture.
?si=gMqeagbA_GgmvU4s&t=11
I beat Ruiner because I had him poisoned and died but the death animation took so long the poison killed him
I’m actually convinced LoTFgays are just ass mad Koreans made a better game and so this is their desperate cope to feel like it’s non get gud gays that are saying this game is tedious.
>Corridors of Piss
>better game.
literally nothing wrong with linear games, keep seething
For a souls-like having an interconnected world will always be better than a linear one.
How can you have build variety when the most important part of you build can be locked away until the end of the game?
>20 minutes of gameplay without bonfire is somehow bad.
moron
Nah that's just seething and whining like a little baby about difficulty
Most of the criticism is "waaaah game too hard"
Do we really have to dig out the git gud meme after all these years?
Filtered hard.
>complain about online
Sure.
>complain about respawing trash mobs
Filtered.
>20 minutes without bonfire and walk backs to bosses
Frick me, I love me some walk of shame on bosses, morons are too entitled by Fromsoftware casualizing each new game with bonfires just before hard bosses.
>jump puzzles
Filtered.
>time to respawn
Agree, it could be faster, first it drains all your souls, then start an 5 seconds animation and fades to black
>he doesn't like Capra Demon and thinks its about killing the dogs
Frick me, its almost like he hates Souls games overall, Capra Demon is just a hard boss because its the first boss new players face with small space and weird geometry.
This game doesn't even have long walk backs on most bosses, you just need to find the seed location.
Flowerbed locations are really fricking weird. I get that they designed it with NG+ in mind, but putting one right before a boss, in the boss arena, literally seconds before a full blown Vestige, etcetera is just weird. It feels like they're positioned to bait new players into wasting the checkpoint seeds on a bad checkpoint.
Yep, that is one thing I find weird. Your assumption is probably correct, the intention is to bait the players. I love that you need a seed to activate it so players can not exploit the feature.
Shitters will cope but I think it's great design because seeing a vestige right near a seedbed fricks with your trust and now you have to really be sure if you need to place one or if you can push ahead just a bit further to see if there is a vestige.
Yeah, that was indeed the thing that made me start being careful with my seeds. I got mad that I wasted one right before a vestige.
Yes and you will never run out of the seeds if you just frick around in the umbral realm for a while.
>waah wahhh waaahh where is my bonfire every 5 steps
lmao ds3babs
Wait until these babbys find out about ng+
Has anyone here actually tried NG+? I'm interested in a firsthand account of whether the world design is really good enough to make backtracking not tedious.
I would say maybe the cheater could tell us, but I doubt his insights would be of much value
There are seedbeds all over the place on maps and many of them are right next to vestiges. NG+ is probably not very different other than the fact that you can only have 1 checkpoint up at a time. The only difficult part will be when you want to teleport to a specific part of a level to do something.
Yeah but seeds are a finite resource. You will have to plan
You can buy infinite seeds for 2500 vigor each in the hub
Yeah but that obviously is not always an option, and at the very least will require a time investment to get that many souls to buy one each time
Unless they scale up the prices which from what I've seen so far they don't, in NG+ you will almost certainly be able to always carry a handful with you because you just get a lot more vigor from enemies.
First 2 points are bullshit
Third point is an upside.
HOLY FRICK USE THE UMBRAL SEEDS DUMB Black person YOU CAN ONLY CARRY 5 AND THEY DROP A LOT
All I see is a bad player complaining about shit easily solved by getting gud.
I paid 69.99 for this game and I’m gonna beat it but so far this dude is right. Going from Lies of P to this is whiplash. One game decided to build on Froms current iteration and the other decided to go back 11 years. Even for being an UE5 game it literally looks graphically on par with Lies of P.
same here bro, cant refund it so ill slog through it to get my moneys worth
game is the definition of mediocre though it feels like a souls clone if it was to be made in 2015
same here bro, the game is a 4/10 at best. I can't believe the shills here got me to buy this game. it's trash
I'd refund it but I already beat the game
Some people would prefer older souls than nu souls
The original Lords of the Fallen is a better game.
There, I said it.
You're going to have to explain or else you're just make a poor attempt to shitpost
Powerful post.
excellent post. so true
and no, I am not just replying to myself
I don't like how much they overdid it trying to copy every little FS thing down to fricking fonts. You can tell the new devs are just broken trying to make the souls ripoff the poles at CI told them to make instead of being actually inspired by FS, which Deck13 was
So are the manastones like flasks in other games? Is there a limit to how many you can carry?
No, it's like the rock candy in Dark Souls 2.
I didnt play earlier souls games sorry
>going through bell area, hard as balls
>find enhanced throwing hammer
>expect slightly better damage
>mfw 725 attack power on a fricking throwing hammer
Holy frick, I’m sure this will be balanced later on in the game but it currently has higher attack power than my UGS lmao, just straight up oneshoting most mobs and slaughtering the elite ones with these dinky little hammers
>Download a russian patch for this game that's supposed to fix stuttering and freezing
>Now the game is missing file it says it needs to start
I'm assuming this is the strongest weapon in the game or ONE OF the strongest weapons. It does three types of damage. If you were to max it out it'd probably have A/B rank scaling in every category.
they need to stop letting late game weapons be OP in these games
I imagine it's great for NG+ mode, though if you're a tryhard edgelord then you wouldn't want to make the game "too easy" or whatever.
its just frickin lame when the boss weapons outclass everything so much
>Have FIVE Radiance catalysts
>Have FIVE Umbral catalysts
>Have ZERO Inferno catalysts
What the frick? Is there only one or two in the game? I guess I missed both of them.
I have one of each and didn't start with any. Yes, you missed them
Apparently the Pyro class starts with one and you can buy that from the tortured prisoner, the next one is found in a puzzle under the hub, and then the next one drops from a specific enemy AT THE FINAL AREA OF THE GAME, the next one AT THE FINAL AREA OF THE GAME, and lastly the fifth one is in....THE FINAL AREA OF THE GAME
The final area of the game, Bramis Castle, contains THREE OUT OF FIVE of the Inferno catalysts in the game. Absolutely moronic.
There are actually six in the game, so I missed one but they were easy to find if you just explore the areas I guess.
>The final area of the game, Bramis Castle, contains THREE OUT OF FIVE of the Inferno catalysts in the game.
What the frick.
I'm convinced Inferno has the most fun/strongest spells in the game. There is fricking METEOR spell, and one spell surrounds you in flaming tornado, another one summons flaming swords from the air to rain on enemies.
All the schools of magic serve a purpose, like radiance is great for buffs and support, but also has damaging spells as well. Inferno though feels so much more raw and powerful. It does SUCK ASS THOUGH BECAUSE All those spells can't be acquired till the final area of the game
Yeah I'm not even kidding, it's moronic. If you wanted to use inferno magic you basically either have to start as a Pyro class or just buy it from the prisoner at the start of the game and use that for the entirety of the game.
Inferno bros we eatin good in ng+
i wouldn't consider tortured prisoner the start considering the amount of bullshit you have to do making things feel longer than they should be
Who gives a shit, the one under the hub is the most powerful.
>>Have ZERO Inferno catalysts
I also couldn't find a single one
There's your starting one, then one you can get from a puzzle under the hub, but you'll want to give that one to an NPC in a cage nearby where you got it, and she won't give it back to you until later. Then the next best one is going to be a bit deeper in from there.
>>Have FIVE Radiance catalysts
holy shit man I'm almost at the end of the game and only found two
Inferno or radiant ?
Easy Mode: Radiant
Hard Mode: Inferno
HOW THE FRICK DO YOU DO UMBRAL FINISHERS? THEY NEVER GODDAMN WORK
>Get enemy's remaining HP to 100% Wither
>Critical attack them
The answer is that you're a shill, unironically.
This game is more like Demons souls in its philosophy than recent souls games from From. Elden Ring kinda revitalized that exploration spirit though
I think the most impressive thing they did was make a camera worse than Fromsoft
Dude, delayed attacks
It has flow
I'd say it's about on par with god of war ragnarok so about a 6/10 although I'd rather play this just because it's not a movie game with woke garbage
Ragnarok was way better than this game, and I like both
>it's not a movie game with woke garbage
>literally the first cutscene in the game is an ESG black preacher waking you up
it's le woke if a black guy exists now?
I'm pretty sure it is also the only black in the game
the dudes in the burning town are pretty black
This game is raw gameplay so it is infinitely better than a shitty snoy movie game. Even the original dogshit 2014 LotF was better.
>Reading the bonfire lore
>One lady was pregnant when she became a lampbearer
>She thought the immortality would extend to her baby
>It didn't
Oh...
did she like, ever squeeze it out?
Doesn't say
What games have you played in the past hafl year?
Worst part of this game is how Vigor dependent it is. I thought ER was bad, but literally everything will 2 shot you in this game at the start
I'm not having fun but I love the art. I will suffer through to the end just because it looks so cool.
> everything will 2 shot you in this game at the start
Everything will 2 shot you right down to the end game regardless of how big your vigor is
Brilliant
I've never been 2-shot by anything other than telegraphed meme big explosion attacks from bosses
Don't you love how you need to accept the terms of service and privacy shit every single time you boot up the game? Isn't it amazing when you have to slowly scroll though this menu?
if you don't like it just don't accept the terms and uninstall the game chuddie
Works on my machine
I also noticed this and found it bizarre and annoying, not sure why you have to agree every single time you boot the game up, most games have you agree once and that's it.
Is this on the pirated version? I don't have this problem
I'm playing pirated and only had to do it once.
For those wondering here are the secret classes you can unlock, one of them is DLC only, but the other three are unlocked based on which ending you recieve. There are three endings in the game. Radiance ending, Inferno ending, and Umbral ending.
All the weapons and armor for the secret classes can be found on your first playthrough though, so it isn't really special/unique tbh.
You can unlock Dark Crusader too, it's just a pain in the ass quest line across half the game and you have to beat a boss you only get one attempt at.
Oh, that sucks lmao. I know you can get the Dark Crusader weapon/set, didn't know it was tied to an annoying quest line. s
Regretting not just picking dark crusader for the armor at the start now
>You have to beat a boss you only get one attempt at
Seriously? Which one?
Paladin's Burden took me two tries.
You have to beat the Lightripper in Upper Calrath with Isaac summoned, but you can only summon Isaac once. Might just be a bug, either way they got my angry 7 bucks.
Is there any save online with the classes already unlocked?
>level 23
holy moly.
what's the vigor softcap? Feels like 30, but I could be wrong
>2 players in coop only
>skating attacks
>no proper powerstance
>radiance and 2h mogs everything
>obnoxious 2 worlds meme
>UE5 and DX12 with DS2 tier map graphics
They learned nothing and deserve nothing
>DS2 tier map graphics
You're a genuine moron. This is perhaps the best looking game I have ever played
And you are genuine blind by the slop, you only need to take a look to some shit like statues, trees and branches and roots. And how everything is embellished behind wet farts of filters to hide all the shit. You can't let pajeets use UE5
keep posting it anon, maybe you can convince people the game is bad with your 100th post in these threads
Starting to think being a str gay makes more sense
>Staggers easier.
>Movesets don't send you flying forward as much.
>Look cooler.
>Usually have wide swings that can clean up the hordes of dumb trash mobs the game continuously spawns in your path.
Great-weapon chads eating good.
polearms do all those things but better
>Blocks your path
I've been using a Great Weapon and just dodging, no shield or blocking. Got a lantern eye that converts damage received during charge attacks into Wither damage and gives super armor to charge attacks so most of the game I can just tank through hits and then get it all back with a big swing.
>Got a lantern eye that converts damage received during charge attacks into Wither damage and gives super armor to charge attacks so most of the game I can just tank through hits and then get it all back with a big swing.
where do you get that one?
Umbral Eye of Loash, it's behind one of those bell doors you need the expensive key to get into, through a cave death trap and onto an outside trail.
huh, good to know. Thanks
>cave death trap
a what
Can't decide what I want to commit to. Every boss I've killed it's much easier to dual wield and then just abuse dodge iframes and the dmg from dual wielding wraps shit up. Feel like one good big str weapon + a shield would accomplish the same thing but I have a shield ready now
>Ganker likes this game because its unpopular
lmao every time
yeah, as we all know, Ganker despises elden ring
>unpopular
>number of players is double from Lies of P
>it can be pirated against being on xbox goy pass
I don't know man
oh boy FIVE WHOLE MINUTES until the final part of my download comes off download cooldown. anything cool early on for two-hand melee man especially if mace/fire is involved, or that i should know regarding quests or anything
the only thing you need to know is that the game is hard. prepare your mind now such that you don't end up like so many babies ITT
i played demon's souls before dark souls was ever even announced. don't give me a nonanswer.
This game is objectively not hard though.
anon, you can read the thread to see Gankertards complaining about the game being difficult
scrollwheel
There is a giant bone club pretty early on in the game behind a simple puzzle
>Finish the burning city and mines
>elevator
>back near the start of the game
it's kino I'm afraid
>pointless shortcut number 25 when warping exists
>NG+ blocks your path
i hope ng+ adds a lot more to the game like ds2 because the game has dark souls 2 vibes all over it
do you think like, warping is locked in ng and that the skyreach hub will be the only checkpoint?
that's actually what I heard it is
Skyrest is the only checkpoint besides bonfires you can make
they're still useful for backtracking due the sparsity of fast travel
>beat gravelus
>Instantly pit against congregator of flesh
Wtf
I think that shit fight is supposed to tell you to free the blacksmith first since its a pretty big damage sponge without upgrades
Where did you lads go after Skinstealer in the mines? There's like 3 different ways you can go.
I saved the elevator for last
this game is good at hiding shit
this is in the hub and I only found it after playing for 30 hours
This was literally on a bench
yeah, completely covered by boxes and barrels in an area you pass through maybe once or twice
wheres the new thread
be the change you wish to see in the world
i dunno if im just playin slow and shit but after the tutorial through pilgrims and then forsaken feels like it lasted frickin forever
It's a long fricking game with a lot of branching pathways and missable shit. The areas feel massive, though some of them were shorter than others to me. A lot of them do feel long though, the final area takes at least two hours or more to fully explore.
