Solid 9/10 in my books

A few issues I have
>Parry is too strict, needs a 1-2 second frame gap on perfect guard
>locking two fundamental dodge mechanics to the skill tree is a big moronic move. Remove them from skill tree and make it standard kit
>remove the weapon type debuff/buff mechanic when building a new weapon via blade and hilt. Putting a axe head on a dagger hilt is fun but making it have a “down arrow” on stabbing or striking is silly. Remove that and let me make fun silly weapons

My biggest one
>needs Peer-2-Peer summoning/invasion system for PVP and replay value

Just feels weird not filtering people by hiding and dropping in on them. Hell, even the story provides a good enough reason for invasions to happen with the Stalkers and “The Spectre”.

What’s the Ganker hot take?

      Downloads is Gamepass stuff. It probably sold well enough based on word of mouth, I doubt this AA game needs a ton of copies to sell plus MS bucks from taking that gamepass deal.

      >no poise system, all hits can interrupt you including your Weapons Fable Arts

      Strange to have STR builds but no poise for it. I feel like they couldve baked that into the skill tree or make a stat for it or give a stat poise. Not sure why they left that one out.

      Its not a big big deal but if you are a STR player it could frustrate you alittle

        There is a poise system but I don't quite know jow it works. There are also some P Organ skills that prevent you from being interrupted on fable arts and charges.

        I noticed particularly that I seemed to be hitting certain breakpoints where enemies would stop staggering me and i would start staggering them. It must be a function of weight or stats.

          Yes, I shill the same games over and over again, like the latest Call of Duty. The next one is going to be even more epic! And I preorder every game I buy because they need my money, I'd rather preorder now and support my favorite devs rather than waiting until the reviews come out and deciding if it's worth buying at that point.

          You don't want to buy games you don't enjoy? Too bad, we're making games for the lowest common denominator because that makes us more money.

                The art style is completely original. Do you want me to hold your hand? The character designs are unique. The environments are unique. The enemies are unique. It looks different to anything else. Every area is stunning. The soundtrack is spectacular and you can tell there was thought put into it. The animations and combat are better than anything else in AAA gaming. No other game looks or feels like this, what is not clicking for you? You have to be stupid or a hater to not see it.

Why waste time and resources on unique assets? No matter the assets, the artstyle is still in the control of the artist, they can stylize and alter those assets to their liking, and the result will still be visually cohesive if artist has a sense of style. I get that you're stupid dumbfrick, but don't embarrass yourself that much.

            The game was made in unreal engine and uses a bunch of default particle effects and assets from the store. Not to say that there's particularly anything wrong with this, but it absolutely is not a unique style at all.

    two fundamental dodge mechanics to the skill tree is a big moronic move. Remove them from skill tree and make it standard kit
    Game is mostly about blocking, get the necessary skills if you want to go full dodge
    the weapon type debuff/buff mechanic when building a new weapon via blade and hilt. Putting a axe head on a dagger hilt is fun but making it have a “down arrow” on stabbing or striking is silly. Remove that and let me make fun silly weapons
    You are allowed to make fun silly weapons, they shouldn't be good

    What the game needs is more clothes, multiplayer, nerfing a couple cancerous bosses, and nerfing aegis

      Here’s the thing anon
      Invasions were primarily designed to add a layer of difficulty completely outside the players control
      When you couple that with the fact that most players don’t want to be presented with an actual challenge, you begin to understand why invasions are so loathed
      They player being invaded is faced with a challenge that they convinced themselves they can’t overcome and proceeded to cry entire oceans until the invasion system was so neutered nobody is all that interested in using it anymore
      And then they’ll unironically parrot that it’s a pve game

      The level design is too linear and restrictive, it takes away from the player's freedom to explore. In Dark Souls, you can take any route you want and tackle different areas at your own pace, which adds to the sense of discovery. This game is more like a corridor simulator, there's no room for player choice and experimentation.

          Because FromSoftware has a track record of exceptional quality and they set a gold standard for the entire industry. If you create something great, people are going to copy it. But when you take this idea and try to replicate it in a lazy and unoriginal way, it just comes across as a shameless rip-off. This game is the perfect example of that, an inferior product masquerading as a cheap imitation of something greater.

          Ah, the typical criticisms of the intellectually challenged. Can't even appreciate greatness when it's right in front of their eyes. Maybe if you had any kind of appreciation for quality and attention to detail, you'd be able to understand why these games are considered masterpieces by millions of people. You can go back to your generic, forgettable, unoriginal copycat game and keep deluding yourself into thinking it's actually good.

            I never said they were indie devs. I mean they were niche and small scale because they had literally no name backing them up. There was no popular dev that people would buy the game for like Fromsoft. This game could have easily gone unrecognized because there was nothing people could attach to beyond the game itself which would require people actually play it. God it's impressive how stupid you are while acting this pretentious.

              So you're an idiot, thanks for the confirmation. Again, there is nothing no-name about Neowiz. They're one of the biggest game publishers in Korea. Not only that now you're changing your argument because now you're trying to say that it's not relevant in relation to the game's popularity (which basically doesn't exist), not its general success which would obviously refer to financials or widespread appeal; aka popularity
              This game is neither popular, or financially successful since the devs had to try and gloat about how many times the game was downloaded while being available on a subscription service.

              The only person here trying to act pretentious is you. And you would know that if you knew what the word even meant.

    It's too hard. Romeo took me 2 days to beat and had me consider dropping the game. I'm enjoying most of it, but It needs some things tweaked to have lasting power like a souls game. It will probably become a "cult hit" kind of game, but the difficulty will be a turn off, even souls fanboys. Those mini bosses that can only be beat by dropping of a ledge 20 times to attack them are also bad enemy design.

    It needs co-op as well.

      What mini bosses are you talking about? They can be beaten normally by learning their patterns. It definitely is a tough game though, it's more for people that are heavily into this type of game. Then again I never used the specter summons so I don't know how much they help. Not everything needs co-op.

        The green "stone like" enemies that charge you for multiple hits in the courtyard after you beat the black rabbit brotherhood. I couldn't beat them with parrying, and even if you could parry all of their attacks in a row, you take off 1/20th of their heath per hit. You are awarded the "patience badge" as a wink wink to the fact that you climbed around the building and drop attacked them 50 times to get it.

        And yes, without the engagement of other people in your game world if feels like a "one and done" kind of game. Why put specter summons in the game, but not let another player take the spot of the specter, it makes no sense.

    is too strict
    I completely disagree with this. If this were Sekiro then I would agree, but it's not. You don't HAVE to parry at ALL in this game, so you can just parry the moves you can recognize and dodge or just block everything else. If parrying were too easy then it would totally replace dodging.
    two fundamental dodge mechanics to the skill tree is a big moronic move.
    Agree completely. RPG mechanics and leveling systems are stupid in general. Something you guys probably don't know is that when you go into NG++ (yes, that means your third playthrough), you unlock the ability to normal guard red attacks.
