[@comedycorpse9768]

Question for you big guy. Have you ever considered speedrunning games at GDQ ? Its for charity in front of a live audiance, you probably have heard of it (or been asked the same question many many times) Glad you enjoyed the game, looking forward to your next videos.

[@goalhornfanatic9449]

Lies of P was one of those games that gives me an experience I long for, where I can't wait to get home and play. When it's one of the only things on my mind. I feel like I only ever get a game like it every like 2 years. But this year has been very good. Final Fantasy 16 was a super good time, then Lies of P, and now I have Lords of the Fallen. Finally, a stacked year.

[@MrRapperJd]

currently in act 4 and was just on the toilet thinking about how the game is so impressively good honestly godsent that i got it for free on game pass

[@johndodo2062]

I hope Microsoft paid them allot of money. They are going to end up selling at least 2 million just on ps5 and that's 120 million dollars. Worth every penny

[@jormses3289]

New dlc when please?

[@willryan6523]

What I notice people not deduce is that you can press the block button to initiate the first perfect guard and then only release it to press it again right when you need to attempt the next perfect guard. If that fails, you will still block the attack and not get hit outright. If you're tapping the button to perfect guard and then releasing it immediately, you're always going to be unguarded. It is entirely possible and viable to parry numerous fast attacks in succession this way and not take any direct damage. I have just noticed that not a lot of people attempt to play that way.

[@jormses3289]

I loved the story of the game and how it unfolded, soundtrack was unforgettable and the gameplay is refined if anything. Amazing game highly recommend, also all the endings are sad

[@CrystronHalq]

My rating is a 9.5/10 I had very few critisisms regarding the game and they were mostly minor. Its a really high quality, well polished, well executed Souls game. It really is. And it brings good innovations to the table like weapon assembly system, the health regain system. And succesfully adapting a fairytale narrative may make other Soulslikes do the same moving forward.

[@ButtersIMO]

This game was by far one of my favorites. it’s up there with elden ring and ds3. Already have 65+ hrs on it

[@Legendary_Honey]

I feel the same way. I'd put it above DS3, and just below Elden Ring. It's so unbelievably good.

What the actual fuck dude. How did you beat Nameless Puppet phase two first try. That's absolutely insane. True God gamer. I know you were being humble and saying you had a great build, but most people wouldn't be able to do that with even double that damage. Absolutely insane. Good stuff man. Wow

This is like my #3 or #4 all time favorite game. My first playthrough was really enjoyable, but I actually prefer the way they do NG+ to what I've seen in the FromSoft games...so even after beating it on NG it GREW on me after I beat it. I had LOTF preordered but I'm so addicted to Lies of P I put that on hold for now.

[@Eo-ms3kw]

I think this game is my choice for GOTY this year. It really is incredible.

[@studivan]

It won’t make GOTY because only select people can actually play it, in normal English, it’s too damn hard and not many are going to practice for hours just to learn how to perfect parry each boss.

[@BigChiken44]

You're joking, right? I played demo, and it's just horrible. It's very clumsy, combat feels awkward, enemy positions don't make sense, bosses are made hard just by increasing their HP, map is confusing. It makes you appreciate From Software ten times more

[@Eo-ms3kw]

@@BigChiken44 It's incredibly polished all around. Nothing I'd consider clumsy, great, satisfying combat system, boss quality on par with some of Fromsoft's work.

I did a capacity build w/ Tyrant Slaying dagger and the salamander handle. I tried to keep my weight in the "light" category. Super fun, along with never ending stamina.

[@chriswihulu]

For others trying this, NG++ has a P-organ skill that lowers your weight category, down by 1. If you're slightly heavy, you will receive no penalty and at average(below 60%) you will be considered light, giving you access to a lot of the heavier weapons, armor and amulet.

@@SugarRayD yep, think the Seventh phase also has another "regain legion on enemy kill" so I can literally pull an enemy towards me and get full Legion Bar back, without extra step or wait. Bosses are still tough as heck and while it hurts to admit, I have spammed throwables to win more than once.

[@steveyuhas9278]

This game man... It surprised me big time. I just randomly had it recommended and it blew me away. Pure fun from start to finish. One of the things that never ceases to amaze me is seeing the significant difference in play styles from one person to the next. I played a certain way utilizing dodges/shielding and playing more cautiously with light weapons and chipping away while squilla is leveraging heavy attack staggers and perfect guards while being far more aggressive. It just allows for so much personality through the way you like to play and every style is viable given you master that style. How they pulled off the viability of all the different play styles and weapons is amazing. Take notes other developers, this is how you do it.... and the weapon mod system is the chefs kiss on top. 9/10, probably the best souls-like in existence.

[@NotYurAverageJoe]

I feel like some people in here act like everything FromSoft makes is perfect gold across the board and doesn’t have its own bad levels, bad bosses, and frustrating/meh gameplay. I love FS but y’all got rose-tinted glasses. Lies of P is notable because it arguably has a better ratio of hits with those components than a lot of FS’s catalogue.

[@blinkachu5275]

Right? Like Dark Souls I for instance, is great in its first half, and then is literal ass in its second half with shitty areas, exceptionally shitty bosses, reused bosses (some even 3 times) etc. People need to grow up and realize that other games that use the same formula can in fact be better than FromSoftware's older games

I spent like 2 hours on Manus and then immediately went and beat Nameless Puppet in one go. Using the wrench head and handle the whole game on my first playthrough lol I thought it was so damn funny. Really enjoyed blasting through the game over the first couple of days it was out. Haven't touched it since but I'm feeling a big hankering to run a ng+ or two in order to get all the achievements and play around with other weapons

[@DigitalHaze65536]

I have 3 +10 Big Pipe Wrench heads lol. (different handles so I can change quickly in the heat of battle) I enjoy a few other weapons, but even on NG+3 it is my go to and always fun! Favorite so far is combining it with the Exploding Pix Axe handle.

[@DarkstarZenith]

Lies of P is the closest youre gonna get to an authentic Souls experience. Its done so well it almost feels like FromSoft worked on it. LotF on the other hand feels like someone played DS2 and thought "how can I make this even more frustrating to play?" It does some cool things but ultimately the ridiculous amount of enemies that never deaggro, among many other things, make it a chore to play.

[@josuemelena1478]

Not to mention the terrible lazy names they gave the bosses

[@KGLordofhollows]

This is so hypocritical. This is an issue this game suffers from as well and they had to fix it. On the demo and release, enemies would chase you half across the map. LotF is patching the number of enemies and their aggro range, boasts a way larger amount of weapons/armors/spells and has a way more interesting world to explore. Not to mention it's own unique elements, like the Umbral world. LoP is just a cheap copycat of Fromsoft and brought nothing new to the genre.

[@jengaaaaa]

Game has no build variety or replay value.

[@akhasta4312]

⁠​⁠@@jengaaaaaIt has variety, the problem is that u want one shot and OP weapons. It has replay value as well, like dude its the same thing as all DS’s and even harder cuz in the NG+ it gets more harder than any NG+ of DS’s except DS2 that adds even more enemies

[@charlesajones77]

It's certainly the best "Souls-like" game not made by Fromsoft. And it's definitely better than DS2. And subjectively, I also like it better than DS1. I don't think it is as good as Sekiro or Bloodborne, the games it most closely resembles. But it does combine many of the best traits of each, while throwing in some really good ideas of its own. For the studio's first attempt at the genre, it is astoundingly good. My only major complaint is how linear it is. There's one path, straight through the whole game. No branching paths and very little exploration. If you get stuck on something, you can't go anywhere else, except backwards. So you just have to bang your head against it until you succeed.

[@MultiSneakerLover]

Always a ds2 hater anywhere you go💀

[@pillagius]

Best I can describe the core gameplay: game ties you to a chair, points a gun at your head and politely asks you to learn how to "Perfect Guard". Additionally sheer length of some combos, the giant mix bag of varied attack timings with some being so fast - no way you're reacting to that, damage enemies do and your only actually valid defensive option being aforementioned "Perfect Guard" whole thing turns into "learn parry timing on 80% enemy moves or get pummeled" and "slightest misstep while balancing on tightrope you'll get got by flamethrowers on the sides, sharks below or pummeled by enemy in front". While some-freaking-how all the major bossfights took me 5 tries or less (so it's not like it's super hard or anything) the intense rage-inducing frustration from the experience definitely is there. Mix it with all the good features, like decent QOL, good visuals, music, etc, the overall polish and amusing crafting system - it's a good game I like it, but it's asking from you as if it's a best game ever, so prepare yourself. Lords of The Fallen another mix bag of great and "wtf were you thinking!?" ideas. While visuals, music and decently responsive controls are great, performance in 9 patches (at time of comment) hasn't improved, for me actually got worse. Continuing on combat and mixed bags: great exploration experience bogged down by controversial "enemy quantity over quality" (didn't have much problem myself almost liked the enemy quantity even, but I would prefer having less but better); nice fast attacks, attack cancels etc, but massive forward motion on attacks feels off (off a cliff...); there's decent variety of weapon classes, but each class weapons have exactly same animations, you can seamlessly dual-wield any weapons, but moveset is mostly horizontal swipes... If you want to play: make sure to use all your weight limit staying below "heavy", focus on one damage stat and HP, so you get them to 25+ early, move around - stamina is tweaked for that and explore. Can't say I can freely recommend either game at base asking price, but I've enjoyed both, although between the Lies of P and Lords of The Fallen - former is more linear and polished experience.

[@ermosazorius4279]

I have never parried or guarded and I'm doing just fine.

[@pillagius]

​@@ermosazorius4279 well that's a blatant lies (whole game never touched the guard button, sure...). But good for you, If you found a way to make dodging more-or-less feasible.

[@ermosazorius4279]

@@pillagius Okay, I guess you are correct. I have tried it a few times at some points but I always get my ass kicked when I do so I stopped trying. I typically don't block or parry in any soulslike games. I use the button for fable arts and have been hit while holding it down I suppose. However, blocking and parrying are not required to play this game. Doesn't matter if you don't believe me. I can honestly say that I have beaten every boss so far with out blocking or parrying them once. With the exception of the eldest bunny boy who I tried it on for several fights before giving up and using throwables. My point is that you do not need it.

For me it's not the best souls game but one of my favourite souls game, heck I even like this more than Nioh 2 or Surge 2 lol.. The gameplay mechanics shows how much they care on the souls genre..

And I love that you can customize weapon handles to make strength weapons hit faster then p.organ to further upgrade your character.. Just about to finish my 1st playthrough and love it so far

[@Father_of_Kos]

Amazing game, and very hard also.

[@acetechnical6574]

I keep not saying what I think, waiting for it to wear off, buuuut it actually isnt. It isnt the best Soulslike, because IMO it is in a category somewhere between "Soulslike" and "Actually Miyazaki". It is better than the best Soulslike. Almost a peer to actual DS/BB/ER/Sekiro, maybe. Lords of The Fallen is a contender in the Soulslike category, certainly a worthwhile endeavor to check it out..... but it isnt in the same league as LoP, since nothing else exists in the category. I'm around 235 hours into NG+2, exploring the hidden depths of Weapon Assembly, and finding the secrets around the maps, of which there are many and almost all super hard to find.

[@comedycorpse9768]

Lies Of P got me completely uninterested into the story and world. Lying felt like it had no real affect until i heard something along the line "it changes an encounter in the game" or something (correct me if im wrong), but if its just 1 encounter id still see it as a pointless mechanic for a game literally called "Lies Of P". The bosses are cool ill hand it that but i got so bored playing this game im probably half way done, the story matters to me as a player because it makes the world for a lack of better words "noticable". Without a good story the world building and details put in it is invisible. Lords Of The Fallen in comparison feels like a great souls-like, with amazing world details but also map layout that got me searching for hours, every little corners in both axiom and Umbral. Lies of P failed to give me that want to search for items and armors. The mechanics and combat, and progression after beating a boss never hit that spot that many other souls-like like Steelrising gave me. Idk what else i can say but I truly did not enjoy the game but im glad many other people do. Its still a reallybeautiful game with intricate designs and memorable bosses. It was simply not for me but im looking forward to Speedruns and GDQ's charity runs too.

[@eriiicj.1558]

Gonna cherish the fact this will be the only time I’ll be better than Squill at the game lol

[@KGLordofhollows]

I'm sorry, but the game is nowhere close to DS1. DS1 is over a decades old and still contains more weapons and builds than LoP, including actual ranged options and magic systems. It has the covenant system, co-op and PVP. A world that is non linear and levels that everyone copies (LoP included) to this day. A far greater enemy variety and most importantly a balance around every build. LoP is an ok game, but it just copies what Fromsoft has done all these years. Perfect blocking and staggering like Sekiro, rally health system and dodging like Bloodborne (even the weapons are a copy of the trick ones) and it's more linear than DS2, with just as many cheap ambushes. It can very well sit at the top of other games, but as a souls like it's just a cheap knock off and an embarrassment for the studio. Cool visuals and cutscenes guys, but you had no soul in your game.

[@DigitalHaze65536]

I'm an old guy with arthritis, so I'm not great at that either. This game's leveling system is easy though, and some of the tools and abilities they give you late game and NG+/++ help a lot. I made they game enjoyable for myself without using mods, just leveling and getting all of the upgrades, plus of course spectors. On NG +2, I decided to try Laxia without a summon and got her 3rd try anyway, and could have gotten her 1st and 2nd but was fumbling with my items so I cut the junk out of there then got her. (the same way I do for the harder souls bosses I simplify my loadout to avoid that) This is why the game is constantly climbing my all time favorite list....you can make it really hard or just slightly difficult within the game itself.

[@ermosazorius4279]

I never parry and I'm doing just fine.

[@cardmossdn8058]

A couple of things didn't sit right with me, like the linear level design and fury attacks, but overall Lies of P is fantastic.

I played demo, and it's just horrible. It's very clumsy, combat feels awkward, enemy placements don't make sense, bosses are made hard just by increasing their HP, map is confusing. It's just doesn't feel satisfying. The combat system is clumsy, the rolls feel slower than actual running. It's just not fun. For example, the first miniboss in Life of P, if after death you try to run to him, to try to fight him again, several enemies will actually follow you there and won't allow you to fight the miniboss normally. So every time you die there, you have to kill all this little guys again, before bew attempt with miniboss. It's ridiculous. It makes you appreciate From Software ten times more

No, Nioh is the best still. Lies of P is too linear and favours only few, if not one Playstyle.

[@Funko777]

Nah, nioh is barley a souls like. Lords of the fallen is the most true to form and easily the best yet outside of the real ones

[@ayleenthecrow]

@@Funko777 i agree. Nioh is pretty much its own thing despite picking some souls elements

[@ayleenthecrow]

@@Funko777 also I consider lords the best Soulslike since it creates the most authentic feeling of the original souls

[@Bobo-ye7dq]

What do you mean by only one playstyle? I agree it's more far linear than dark souls, and you can't do a mage/faith build or anything like that obviously. That's why people compare it more to sekiro and bloodborne I guess.

[@ayleenthecrow]

@@Bobo-ye7dq you can't even dodge properly and there's barely any build variety. If anything, LoP is a sekirolike gameplaywise

[@Funko777]

This game was mid af. Combat sucks, devs clearly didn't understand the downsides of making a conglomerate of all Fromsoft combat ideas or how to implement them in a cohesive way. Last 3rd of LoP was an absolute slog poorly paced and bad bosses. Bleh. LotF is drastically better in everyway and for sure the best non FS souls game. Maybe LoP devs will learn from their mistakes but I doubt it since it's seemed to have attracted a bunch of people new to souls and have no idea how to compare it

No, no it is not

Yes, yes it is

[@demonicgoblinz8850]

@bradenbean9178 no, it's the flavor of the month. It'll be done and over, and nobody will talk about it ever again in a month, 2 months tops.

[@bradenbean9178]

@@demonicgoblinz8850 ya cuz it’s a single player story game? That’s usually how they go

[@demonicgoblinz8850]

@bradenbean9178 not true at all, bloodborne is still talked about and played heavily by dedicated fans. Multi-player exists in it, but almost nobody plays Multi-player in it. I know numerous people who played lies of P, and they will all tell you it's good, but definitely not the "greatest souls like ever". Your opinion is solely subjective, and frankly, will be obsolete in due time.

@@demonicgoblinz8850 My opinion is merely my own, and yours is yours. My top 3 souls likes would lies of p, remnant, then remnant 2

Not even close to Fromsoft's shit. FS is the GOAT developer
