Hi, developer here. Let's just pretend for a second you didn't hate the game as much as you just expressed and let us clarify something: We're not involved in the development of Lords of the Fallen 2. If you want to see if we care about feedback and are able to learn from criticism, please check out the Surge games. But yeah, there were some fair points in the video, not gonna lie 😅 -Phil

@Lagarto Verde The second half of the game is a big step down in terms of quality. It is a well known fact that the game's second half is not in the form it was originally intended to be in. Izalith is trash for obvious reasons. The Duke's Archives spammed high defense enemies and archers at the end of hallways but isn't too bad, and Crystal Cave is barely an area and what it has is mediocre at best with the stupid invisible pathway gimmick and poor and uninspired enemy placement and design. Tomb of the Giants is horrible because the darkness is a fucking stupid mechanic. The area is insanely cheap and frustrating, getting most of its difficulty from players falling off the edge and enemies that are spammy and do insane damage, with the last area before Nito being a Pinwheel clone spamfest. New Londo is pure spam as well, especially the part before you drain the water. It's an endless string of dozens of enemies that ambush you from every direction constantly and is extremely frustrating and uninspired. The lower part isn't too bad but it's still not nearly as good as it could have been.

@@Walamonga1313 As someone who has definitely played Dark Souls 1 for over a thousand hours, you start to forget about parts of the game that you don't go to anymore because you know to skip them or some way around them. In my first playthrough I made the brutal mistake of entering Blighttown normally. A truly gruelling trek all the way down, you finally find a bonfire, and beat Quelaag. One problem. How do you get out? Sure now I know I can take the lift up and end up in the woods, but when I first played I just did the whole area in reverse. Again, gruelling. There's also places that feel almost vestigial. Great Hollow, Ash Lake, Valley of Drakes, Lost Izalith, Demon Ruins. Then stuff that isn't really vestigial, but optional and therefore likely missed like the 2nd version of the Asylum, Painted World, Gwyndolin, the entire shortcut through the chaos servant covenant (absolute godsend tbh, I use it all the time). While a lot of the game is really good, people seem to forget the bad parts either out of not playing them in a while or not looking at it from a new players perspective. Sure, I know I can skip Lost Izalith and Blighttown, and I know how to cheese Ceaseless Discharge, and to pick up the Havel and Favor rings really early, but a lot of new people don't, so while to me they're not so bad, new players get swept by them. I distinctly remember in my first playthrough having to run all the way through Sen's for each shot at the boss, because the bonfire is hidden and the lift (which doesn't even look like a lift but instead window dressing) needs a key only found by making a perilous jump with the scuffed jump mechanics over a gap that looks like it was made to stop the player going the wrong way, NOT hide an important item. Sure, it was rewarding to beat Iron Golem in the end, but it wasn't "Fuck yeah, that was difficult, good job I had (some aspect of my build)" as it should be, it was "Thank fuck that's over with. I'm never going there again. Those wonky axe hitboxes can burn in hell." Code:Vein, while not exactly amazing, at least doesn't hide its save points so much, and the map is a huge help. While it does negate some of the fun of exploring, if I'm going to smash my head into a brick wall over and over again, I'd rather not have to run through 5 panes of glass to even reach the wall for each attempt, you know? That said Code:Vein isn't exactly good but I had fun.

This is a super interesting video. For me in 2014 , I loooved this game, and I had a lot of friends who did aswell, even soul players. I think this was because in 2014, as you mentioned, there wasn’t really any other soul alternatives at all, and you really have to take that heavily into consideration when you play this game. This was simply the easier souls game, I didn’t have the coordination or the patience to play real souls games back then (I do now) so this game just hypnotised me with a difficulty that was hard enough to give me a challenge but chill enough for me to come home from work and have a somewhat relaxing experience, and I literally felt like I was a part of a group I wasn’t able or even good enough to join. I never noticed this amount of repetitive enemy patterns that you can easily cheese your way through… again, I simply wasn’t good enough or had patience enough for a souls game so this was why my experience was so wildly different . I was a fast paced rogue’ish character in constant panic - and it was amazing! NOW I’ve been playing bloodbourne without finishing it , and about 2/3 of souls 3, and I still don’t have what it takes,.I really really understand the game why we play it now though, and trying my best at Elden ring at the moment. I really do see the game from your angle now, and that’s what makes it so god damn interesting - simply this game was good, but it could only peak, succeed and attract new people to the souls genre in 2014. It was the breakthrough to the souls like genre, because you don’t have a movement without a follower.

@dowfreak72 жыл бұрын
I would throw in a few points. One thing, is that the combat doesn't just feel very slow and clunky, it ALSO feels not rewarding at all. I mean, as an example, take the Greatsword in Monster Hunter. You move slow as shit if you have it out, your most powerful swings have huge windup and your strongest move has so much setup, you can barely squeeze it in when the monster falls. BUT, when you land a hit with that Greatsword, you FEEL the power behind it. You get that oomph of a big hit connecting and you get feedback from the monsters, too. Get that hit often enough and they stagger back or get interrupted and it just feels good. In lotf it just feels like you wind up for 2 years and then go "eh". Same for when you get hit and it's either "ugh, ugh, ugh" with 0 reaction to the hits or just getting staggered forever. The big knight dudes have a strat, but it also shows what's wrong with the game. Essentially you just run into them with the shield and use the sprint attack at the same time, so you hit them while they're off balance. Then you do that 10 more times and boy, wasn't that a fun fight? No. It's repetitive and boring. And that's what the whole game feels like. You do the same thing over and over, occasionally you get a new weapon, magic feels absolutely ass, except for the few overpowered spells and not being able to try other magic without ng+ sucks. The latter half just fast forwards the story so hard, that it feels like you're skipping something and the really cool stuff you wanna see (the GOD), just shows up in a cutscene before and after the game. The Surge 1&2 improved on the concept, but not by much.

I think false choices are just fine, as long as they aren't too obvious. The Witcher games are full of false choices, but it is often hard to tell how impactful a decision will actually be. Those games like to bite you in the ass with a few seemingly insignificant decisions you made, while some seemingly important decisions turn out to be completely inconsequential. This way, in a sense, every decision you make has a decent chance of being meaningful. They also do this thing where they'll make you feel like you made the wrong choice, regardless what you chose. Without loads of false choices, there's no way they could afford to flesh out those games as much as they did.

What I like about Dark Souls and other FromSoftware games is that "git gud" really means something. You won't just grind your way out of the game's difficulty. Most skills and items for most games fall into the "helpful, but not necessary" category and the Souls games are no exception. But FromSoftware figured out how to utilize this fact to perfection. With no real skill trees, so to speak, Souls forces players to make a decision when confronting a boss: do I spend some time muscling my way through, memorizing attack patterns, developing a strategy, and testing that strategy until I finally beat this boss, or do I go out and endure something that will be a challenge in itself so I can get something that I need to fight this boss? I finally got the moonlight sword but am facing a difficult decision. With only 10 intelligence, do I rebirth and take points off other skills so I can put it on intelligence, do I want to grind more, or do I accept the fact that this is a weapon I won't be able to use this playthrough? These are choices the player is forced to make constantly in the souls games.

With the recent trailer for the sequel it's definitely looking like the franchise is evolving its style. The new art direction looks like its leaning much more into the dark fantasy/heavy metal/Mordor kind of look and I dig that, especially with the song they chose and Jospeh Quin's narration. It certainly seems like there's more personality there now, but how's the gamplay gonna be? We'll have to wait and see.

Eh, I actually had good fun with the game when I stopped comparing it to other games. Especially on a second playthrough with a decent pole sword. I ripped through everything and great fun doing it. The only problem I had with the game initially was bad direction in the story and game world. It was easy to get lost and not know where the fuck you were suppose to go.

I think it's incredibly ironic that Dark Souls, a Japanese game, absolutely nails European fantasy while Lords of the Fallen, a western developed game, falls completely flat with uninspired Warcraft-like designs of huge macho guys in huge impractical armor. I've never vibed with that visual style at all, its like the designers are screaming "look how cool our game is" with their over the top designs instead of you know... actually making the game cool. Dark Souls for the most part is much more subdued game in terms of weapon/armor/character design but leaves a way bigger impression. The chosen undead is a nobody, literally just some forgotten worthless guy with no history or character of their own, yet the game is cool as shit with its unique settings, bosses, mechanics, and story. What I'm trying to say is that Dark Souls is a great example of show, don't tell. Lords of the Fallen is all in on tell and it just fails completely, visually and gameplay-wise.

I remember breaking this game when i played it. I went past a very difficult fight in the prison are towards the start of the game, and ended up going backwards through a shortcut straight into a boss fight. I forget the bosses name, but he had a one shot attack that you had to dodge by cowering in these little shrines around the arena. I didnt know that until I looked it up though, because the hint to do so was in the rest of the level, which i skipped by accident.

@@EmpireofJoe This game had potential. I actually like Harkyn, and the game throws some nice ideas like the shield charge, prayer moves, a Neverwinter aesthetic with Dark Souls gameplay, and swift attack-cancelling. But it's ruined by feeling like you're playing in slow-motion even with the lightest gear, boring enemies with so many spikes on their armor and shields that they would make Hela and Steppenwolf jealous, and boring bosses. Like seriously, they look cool, but they are far too tanky and repetitive. The Worshipper doesn't even look hard, but I found him hard because of your speed.

The animations look so floaty because of something called “hit stop”. In Dark Souls (and many melee combat games), if your weapon hits something, the animation will completely stop for a couple of frames to sell the impact. This game doesn’t have that, so it makes your weapon look like it just phases through things.

Lords of the Fallen was a free PS plus game a long time ago, it introduced me to the souls like genre and was responsible for getting me into bloodborne, ds3, then backwards progressing all the way to demons souls.

I just saw "The Lords of the Fallen" trailer and was curious what a sequel to that slow clunky first "Soulslike" would be like. It sounds interesting. Bigger world, character customization, deeper RPG elements, faster combat. I'm willing to give them a chance. 8+ years is plenty of time to make a new combat system and I want something that didn't originate from the foundation of Demon's Souls. As great as Elden Ring is, the cracks are starting to show.

When I played this game, I legit didn't even realize that the "First Warden" was even a boss. Yeah, it had a more prominent HP bar but it was so bland, so slow, and so repetitive I thought it was meant as a teaching tool for the real boss. Finding out later that it was actually the boss of the area, and the other bosses were essentially the same thing, made me put the game down completely and delete it from my PS4. I got sick of the game specifically on the paired boss fight where they jump from the floor to the ceiling. EDIT: Wow, I literally quit the game at the 2nd-to-last boss encounter? Hilarious
