@@Funko777 I haven't seen anyone claim Lies of P is a masterpiece, just that it comes the closest to feeling like a From Software game. Dark Souls 1 is a masterpiece, and Sekiro is a masterpiece. Bloodborne comes pretty close to being a masterpiece. Lies of P is just a very solidly constructed facsimile of various bit of From's design language, with its own interesting twist on the combat, and honestly a better story than anything From has done but Sekiro or AC6. I disagree that Lies of P's combat was worse than this. The main thing keeping me from trying LotF is that the combat looks so weightless and floaty. Movements are so fast, the sound design is barely there on hits, there just isn't any heft or physicality to any of it. That's something that Lies of P absolutely nailed. It just screams AA.

It kind of reminds me of a blend of GOW and Elden Ring combat. I haven't played a whole lot of games so not much to compare, but I've beat GOW Ragnorak all bosses on GMGOW NG+ so I do know the combat pretty well. And the addition of a long range weapon that requires you to stop and aim, the quick switching between weapons systems mid combo, needing to take out enemies that are buffing the main enemies, the stagger meter being visible and going up to get a big hit or combo, the choice of dodge, block or parry with parry draining the stagger bar (which is obviously Sekiro too), getting a lot of your health taken off but being able to earn it back (Bifrost), and also idk the look of it just reminds me of it. But of course it is mostly Souls combat with limited endurance, it just looks like a really awesome mix of those elements. All that to say, I'm definitely going to give this a try.

@AloneAgainstAll885im kinda surprised comments like this are pretty common, because there is nothing hard to understand about it at all, it is really intuitive system. Better the letter - better damage increase from stat. Basically scaling is how much damage you get from particular stat, particular range of values is E, after than D and etc, up to A and S.
@mduckernz11 ай бұрын
@AloneAgainstAll885Yes. A weapon has a base damage, and then scaled damage that is added to that figure. The better the letter, the better the multiplier is applied to your stat it scales off of. What it scales off of may be changed differently per game, but the basic version of the weapon will tend to scale off of strength or dexterity or both, which is called “quality” in souls (and mage weapons may scale off of their particular stats)

I think other than the kill sound some weapon sounds don't really make sense, like peiata's sword is a light sword, why does it make the same sound and have the same hitstop as a regular sword? The parry sounds are also pretty weak, the movement and combat is very floaty. Similar to dark souls 2 and not in a good way. Like i want to dodge diagonally but it doesn't dodge correctly in the indented direction. overall very clunky feeling. I died more times to the clunk, enemy spam than any boss because i made a real mistake. The bosses were disappointingly easy. There's too much enemy spam in certain areas, especially when you enter umbral its just unfun to deal with. The umbral looks cool but exploration just ends up being a chore. The game has good fidelity but i don't think its fromsoft quality presentation. Lies of P just all of that much better on all of these regards. its like 6/10 game at most. Lots of ideas but not all of them are executed well. Just lacks the polish of the other souls-like game that came out this year. Most people that call this game better than lies of p. I think they're just trying to make a subjective opinions come off as objective. Like this game has much easier bosses you can do in like 1-3 tries at most, if you enjoy that more than actually complex bosses that require you to play well. yeah, you'll think its a better game. But even ignoring that i think this game fails in other aspects.

It just sounds like they should of held the release for a few months, then maybe released it early next year. But if all of the things are truly small, it sounds like the devs are going to be good about patching everything. Either way, I’m going to have a blast during the walkthrough. Thanks for what you do CB!

I know even throughout recording the let's play they were patching stuff as I called it out, like the encumbrance bug. I'm sure a lot of this stuff will get fixed up but with 6 more months in the oven it would have been an undeniable banger and it's unfortunate as first impressions are huge in this industry.

Hey Cowboy! During your initial stream of this game you seemed to be under the impression that 2 handed did the same damage as single handed but it just took away more poise from an enemy. Now that you've had more time with the game do you find that is still the case?

One of the nicest upgrades is having multiple spells on hot keys versus only being able to select one at a time. I enjoy playing intelligence or faith builds, but it always sucked having to cycle through spells or incantations in a frenzy during boss battles in Elden Ring or Dark Souls. So nice you can have 4-5 that are all available simultaneously.

This is an entirely different developer which makes the whole thing kind of bizarre. Given the reception of the 2014 game, there was no real incentive to use the IP name as some kind of brand recognition. The original dev, Deck 13 went on to make The Surge series, which are actually pretty good, and the recent nonsoulslike Atlas Fallen that released a couple months back. The publisher holds the IP I assume and probably pushed for this dev to use it.

@@mandrews6282Yep, that and when you’re pitching something it’s much easier to get more funding for a continuation of something that already existed, rather than something totally new - even though the older thing might not have been well received and could actually hurt your perception ultimately :/ investors do be like that

The one issue I've got with this game is the lunge distance on rolls and attacks. Holy shit, the amount of times I have died because my roll decides it wants to take me from one side of the map to the other is crazy. I want to swing at ONE guy, nope, you're flicking yourself off a cliff too.

This really has been the year of soulsborne games with Lies of P, Wo Long, and now Lords of the Fallen. I dearly love FromSoftware and obviously they make the highest quality but other studios are starting to get a lot better and throw their own twist into the genre, just finished Lies of P last night and definitely want to go for the platinum, hopefully it’ll be the same for this game

It seems weird to me how nobody mentions the bosses at all in the reviews. I came to watch this review because FightingCowboy is a souls game specialist so I thought surely he would say something about the bosses like how many, boss variety, their quality, maybe show one of the early intro bosses or something but no. Nothing at all. Something feels off with all this...were reviewers asked not to talk about bosses or what's going on? Souls games live and die by the quality of the bosses so it seems wild to review a souls like without mentioning the bosses at all.
@FightinCowboy11 ай бұрын
There isn't some conspiracy surrounding the bosses, they're bosses same as any other souls game. Lots of them are multi-phase, the mini-bosses are pretty easy and you can abuse em. I've never talked extensively about bosses in reviews because that's generally heavy spoiler wise.
