Why are faggots so buttmad about Lords of the Fatrolls? Just because you can't cartwheel out of every fuckup with zero repercussions? It looks good and plays great once you stop trying to play it like DS1

It's DS2 fans upset that its better than DS2.

That's how I played my entire first playthrough, actually. The level design, both aesthetics and structurally, is weak as fuck and there just isn't much to do in the entire game, nothing much to explore and the whole game was piss easy. I'm glad I got it for cheap.

As a semi-related side note to this game I'd just like to say how embarrassing it is when people speculate on what they want from the next Souls game and the most common ideas are always things like 'Set it in modern day Tokyo!' or 'Imagine a future Dark Souls!'

It's always 'The same but with a new hat!' I don't expect people to be able to come up with amazing gameplay ideas on the fly, but the fact that people rarely even bother to request or dream of improvements in this area is bit disheartening.

Bloodborne isn't a souls like. Demon's souls being a "souls like" makes even less sense since it's the OG souls game. Salt and Sanctuary is just another generic Metroidvania. It using a deathmechanic like souls or a staminabar liek souls doens't change that.

Honestly, I can't enjoy Souls Combat after coming out of Nioh.
Nioh isn't even that great, but if there is one thing about Nioh that is almost perfect, it's the combat. It's souls combat with more emphasis on speed and weapon combos, skills and abilities.

I tried playing the DS3 DLC after playing Nioh and it was just so boring.

The combat isn't really that good in Nioh. It has some great animations for sure, but it doesn't feel precise enough. For one, holding down the block button gives you perfect 360 degree protection. Which pretty much sums up how the rest of the combat works.

Dark Souls will never be dethroned because the people who copy Dark Souls never understand why its so remembered and could never build a world like Lordran. They always copy the surface level elements of Dark Soul but then place them in these shitty, uninspired worlds. Until you make a world and cultivate an atmosphere that can rival Lordran, all these games are inevitably going to be forgotten as soon as they release.
>>
>>376701075
FROM have inveted third person camera, swords, magic and bosses. So yes it's souls-like if game have any of the listed.
>>
>>376701321
That's kinda true. But Blocking is fucking awful in the first place. I feel like it's only really there for the Parries and Block Combos. I guess that's what happen when the companies behind the developers think it's gonna fail big time. Nioh's funding was abysmal.

However, like I said, Nioh's blocks are really not meant to be used. Sure you can use it on some pleb, but a real enemy means you're gonna lose all your Ki. It's best to just run in, do a couple combos, Flux into another combo and keep up your speed.

okay, now you're either trolling or have no idea how video game companies work. just because it gets on and off work or gets cancelled a dozen times doesn't mean it gets great funding, in fact, it's the complete opposite since they're not as willing to take chances on it. which is why selling only a million copies would be considered a success.

Crysis was lightning in a bottle since it went for extreme photorealism.

Germans are creatively bankrupt since the third reich since all their art and style has been killed.
For a country with a population of 80 million (twice that of canada and 4 times that of australia) their cultural footprint in the last 50 years is so little except for the occasional shit eating porn and weirdly gay goth band that its baffling.
Germans cant into aesthetics anymore and all their videogames look like shit. No style, no aesthetics.

Or it just means that the product was fucking unsalvageable no matter how much money being poured on to it so they put the idea in the backburner instead of cutting their losses and canning it completely. See also Metal Gear Solid Rising which was supposedly canned at one point

>>376699114
LotF was objectively a shit game. No one actually liked it and it sold like utter dogshit. This, however, I'm going to buy on launch. It looks better than any Souls game apart from, maybe, Dark Souls 2.

From the article:
> "Salt and Sanctuary has been described most often as a 2D version of the popular Dark Souls franchise. No doubt, that's a big part of the game."
> "Even more impressively, the game captures that heavy, tangible combat Souls games are famous for. There's a weight to combat in the Souls games that's often absent other action titles. Salt and Sanctuary has that same meaty thwacking and clanking, plus barrel rolls, shields, and parry-riposte."
> "I think if I were a developer at From Software, I'd look at Salt and Sanctuary not as a flagrant ripoff, but as a love letter or an homage of sorts---"
> "It's a ton of fun, a great challenge, and a wonderful new take on the Souls formula"

Still arguing about visuals

Are you really this mentally retarded. People were talking about ATMOSPHERE you autistic sperg. You do realize Sound Design, enemy design, level design, pacing and basically every other aspect of a game that isn't graphics contributes to that?

Keep your horrid opinions to yourself diarrhea-fag

The only reason Dark Souls made a cut was because of the massive amounts of memes and turboweebs starving for actual games from japan. I don't see this game having the amount of memes for success or being developed by slant eyes for weebs to take notice.

I always think these guys have a character creator because their trailers have the most generic forgettable protagonist possible, then you are forced to play through using that.

Outside the combat which is good not great. The game is mediocre as hell. Take off the rose tinted fanboy glasses for a while.

Elex is not like souls in any way, the fuck are you smoking?

>>376699887
Based on what? I hear the exact contrary. Apparently it's not perfect, but it seems pretry good.
>>
>>376699114
The surge has less of a focus on bosses, as confirmed by the devs. So no, it will suck.
>>
>>376699114
The on screen prompts and digits ruin it. I hope they can be turned off.

Also, I would have preferred more of a pulp sci-fi look, not industrial, but oh well. Looks okay but nothing special.

>>376699264
>I'm really disliking the constant slow mo with normal attacks shit that's going on.
yeah a lot of games lately add slow mo effects during an attack dunno why
>>
>>376707974
Hollywood aping. That's why
>>
>>376699431
That's because LotF has a less complex formula than DaS1, and with its cheap imitation it only lies in its shadow.

Remember when lords of the fallen literally had sauron as a boss
I bet fucking mace windu is a boss in this game

I didn't think Lords of the Faggots was too bad. What seems to be the problem with The Surge? I literally know nothing about it.
>>
>>376699114
Gameplay looks meh, animations are awkward as fuck, and I had to skip 5 times before I found a spot with actual thing happening and if lasted maybe 6 seconds. It's not doing itself any favors in winning me over.

It's a literal 2D soulsborne, everything works exactly like soulsborne, even the UI is like Soulsborne.
I love the game and even platted it on Viter, but please don't try to say there's anything original in it because it is cashing on the soulsborne crowd pretty damn hard.
>>
>>376713242
Steam says I've clocked 19hrs, finished the main quest/credits.

>>376699114
It doesn't look natural to play at all, everything you do look like it positions yourself and the enemy perfectly so the animation can play exactly like they wanted it to, it feels like the game plays itself.
>>
>>376700928
It takes all its mechanics from DaS, don't be a faggot. I got bored playing it because it felt like I was playing yet another souls game with the exact same pacing, story and mechanics.

it doesn't help that they got someone who's obviously bad at these type of games to play it.

I've watched other videos of the game and I think it looks decent.

This combat seems like a big load of shit, and I swear I'm not trying to be a contrarian fucklord. There's no rhythm to it. No adventure, exploration either. It's just Lords of the Fallen all over again.

Let me shill a project that just passed Kickstarter, though, called Hellpoint:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9vkAl3pf_E

It will have a world based on a server time, which determines how enemies behave and what parts of the environment are unlocked, similar to Demon's Souls stuff.
>>
I just realized the video in the OP is played by trash players, making it look worse than it actually is.
I just watched a video from another thread and it looks a lot more interesting already.

>>376713173
How's the boss design and weapon variety? Is the loot and progression rewarding?
>>
>>376716573
yeah, thats what I was saying. also all of these videos are of people fighting the early game dumb zombie enemies that really aren't pushing you to play your best.
>>
>>376716094
Is this a shameless self-promotion anon?
Pre-Alpha so I guess it could be changed to hell and back but really?

I get some people like sci-fi more than fantasy but this looks like a piece of shit, not an overly ambitious piece of shit, just a terrible game all-round.
I don't mean to be that guy when I say this but there is bugger all point to making Darksouls in space unless it goes full System Shock or something.
>>
>>376717307
Not him, but I could definitely see a Dark Souls in space game. Think about it. It'd be like a Lovecraftian alienscape full of eldritch abominations and alien civilizations. It fills the criteria for a Souls game: hostile world, the player is left with a mystery, and everything's fucked up.

Its name would be Bloodborne 2: Space This Time, by the way.

You know "rose tinted glasses" is about nostalgia, right? How the fuck does the guy have nostalgia for a game from a couple of months ago?
>>
>>376713658
That's a little disappointing to be honest. Did you spend much time exploring and making gear and shit or did you mainly focus on finishing the game?
>>
>>376708728
and every platinum game has witch time

that's a little different though
