[@lamborghinimercy5737]

@TheScepticalThinker1 It’s a little more forgiving than any souls game but it still can get hard in some parts and I have the Series S and it performs great for me. I haven’t had any issues yet.

[@cowlick035]

I've held off on this game until this update. Put almost 50 hours into it in the past week now, and I have to say this is the best non-From Souls style game I've ever played. In large part because of the DS1 style interconnected world. Why are there so few Souls-likes that do this? It's one of the main reasons people regard DS1 so highly, and yet even Fromsoftware abandoned it.

[@sd5919]

Exactly my take too. I like the aesthetic and world/level design. Not a fan of the linear direction this genre has taken. Not a fan of bosses being difficult for the sake of being difficult either (I despise the way Elden Ring and Lies of P rely so heavily on delayed attacks). This game has issues but the genre as a whole has problems right now.

[@Novskyy621]

There is no real need to do that tbh. You have so much more freedom in level design if not trying to connect everything. It's cool but that's it. Overall the game is pretty mid and i stopped playing it after a few hours. The animations are just so janky. The only non from software souls like i like is Lies of P. But thats just me

[@TheHeartThatRunsCold]

​@@Novskyy621 That was pretty much everybody when it launched, it shafted Lords of the Fallen so hard, people forgot it existed. In terms of game feel, encounter design, bosses, and progression it was just better.

[@jorgetiagosilva]

It's a shame they gave up on interconnected worlds. Though it's sort of understandable since it requires more effort and also comes as a detriment to level design. At least I'm glad that souls like metroidvanias like Hollow Knight and Salt and Sanctuary still keep that spirit alive

[@Novskyy621]

@@TheHeartThatRunsCold I just don't feel like that. Btw i played it just two weeks ago. While most technical issues are solved the game just doesn't do it for me. I remember liking the first LOTF much more. Something about the movement and animations, hit detection etc. just feels off and not right

[@nickjanecke6688]

Bought this game at launch, played it all the way through, had a great time with it despite the issues. That said, I was not keen to go into NG+ knowing that that meant they’d be removing vestiges (bonfires) the more subsequent play throughs that you did. I didn’t even attempt it because the idea just inherently doesn’t appeal to me. I came back to it when I saw they’d added all the modifiers recently, one of which now allows me to go into NG+ and keep all the vestiges. This allows me to have the added difficulty of NG+ (in terms of enemies being stronger) without the (imo) added nuisance of having to do a lot more running due to lack of checkpoints. I have to commend them for continuing to support the game and (with the modifiers) allowing me to customize things in order to get my optimal experience.

[@BevanWard]

yeah, removing bonfires was just a bad idea. How many people have said they love darksouls for the bosses, vs love them for the long runbacks and endless grinding of trash mobs.

[@nickjanecke6688]

@@BevanWard preach

[@avelonzx]

@@BevanWard Everyone who played the original Dark Souls vs kids who only played since Dark Souls 3. The original game was centered around no warping and exploration vs just 1-dimensional boss rush simulator that is DS3. DS1 was a more well-rounded game, and so is Lords of the Fallen 2023, it's too bad they had to back out of their original concept of no warping because of crybaby casuals like yourself and OP.

[@nickjanecke6688]

@@avelonzx so you’re mad that I now have the option to play the game how I want AND you can still play the game how you want? Seems like you’re the one who’s being a crybaby. Especially considering Dark Souls 1 still has warping, it’s just more limited and only accessible halfway through the game. What LotF did was even more extreme than that, so not that great of a defense imo.

[@avelonzx]

@@nickjanecke6688 I am talking about their original concept for the game, not this update or NG+. Learn to read.

[@Cotsos88]

I got it on discount a few weeks ago on PS5 . I'm around 1/3 of the game and I'm having a good time. I haven't noticed any serious performance issues , maybe a few framedrops once or twice. I love the exploration, the shortcuts are well designed, the umbral system, movement , combat, everything is smooth. There are easy spots to farm leveling. Personally, I think enemies hit a bit too hard. I'm focusing mainly on Vitality (since scaling early doesn't make such difference in weapon damage) and still there are ordinary mobs that do with one hit 60-70% damage and bosses with multiple attacks that can one shot you. Their movements are clear, you can parry or dodge, but the fact that you basically have to make a nearly perfect run to beat a boss makes it frustrating sometimes. Even at that, I haven't gone to more than 15+ tries to a boss.

[@pockystyx4087]

Enjoyed this game at launch; though it needed a lot of work, which it has (mostly) gotten taken care of, without asking more of me in terms of DLC or something. I'll need to give the modifier run a try next time I'm done messing with other games in my backlog.

Love the variety you've been including this last year, Mort. Especially the soulslike games, even though I've heard you mention it's not quite your forte. I think the variety lately has been helping your algorithm and drawing in alot of new subs, & rightly so! You're my favorite reviewer and one of the best out there. I always comment saying this but keep up the great work, you certainly deserve the recognition 😊

[@MortismalGaming]

Thanks! I enjoy soulslikes well enough, they're just a bit further down the list of my favorite genres.

[@mistahslugg]

@MortismalGaming oh I know, found you quite a while back looking for info on POE and have been watching you since. It's been cool your diving into other stuff besides CRPGs and props to you because souls games are definitely a niche, well maybe not so much anymore but I always respect people willing to explore other genres outside of their main preferences

[@justintantiongloc6987]

I really like the idea of built-in item/enemy randomizers to some extent for NG+ for these types of games. For the Soulsborne/Soulslike genre, randomization has become sort of a genre standard for elevating the difficulty of the game and testing game knowledge further than going to NG+X, and having it built in to games naturally is so much more appealing than having to apply mods to PC versions (which is easy enough, but an extra step nonetheless), or having to crack your console to apply mods there.

All of the gameplay trailers I’ve seen look phenomenal and I’m so excited to hear that they’ve made more improvements to fix or enhance other areas of the game.

[@Skegfromcraigslist]

[@TheApeWonder]

Wanted to play it at launch but the bugs scared me. Bought it on sale now with this “Masters 1.5” and loving it. Not as hard as Souls, more medium with some bosses I’ve had to fight a couple of times. Really great game with amazing settings. It’s like “cozy metal gothic” which lends A LOT from all the souls games, even Sekiro and Bloodborne which is awesome. Thanks for this video!🎉

[@Evanz111]

I got about 15 hours into the game before seeing how many updates they were working on, so I shelved it for a later playthrough. I’m surprised to come back and see a lot of the updates were actually pretty controversial. Like the stat system now has caps, and the bosses have been made more difficult, so people say the game can feel unfair a lot of the time now. Wasn’t expecting any more coverage from you, but glad to get another opinion so I can work out if it’s worth getting back into or not yet!

[@demonfandango]

Appreciate the video. I avoided this at launch due to the performance issues and enemy density, archers shooting you from off the map and such but sounds like it might be worth giving it a try now AND it's on sale.

[@OnenheimTime]

I'm not sure if it's my initial build, dual short swords and a bow, but I honestly did not have a problem with enemy density like I keep hearing. When they reduced enemy density in one of their patches it really made the game too easy. So I'm very pleased they added an enemy density modifier. Feels like an actual challenge now. I hope with all these updates people give this game a chance cause it deserves so much praise in my opinion. By no means is it Elden Ring but doesn't deserve a lot of the hate this game initially got.

It's great that they continued to work on improving the game... the issue I have, is that why support games with a D1 buy anymore ? Quite a few games these days are relesed in a sub optimal state and are improved significantly over the 6 to 12 months after release. I find myself these last few months no longer buying D1 and waiting to pick up the game when it improves..

Game is on sale on Steam and PS5 right now at a bargain. Personally I really like it. It's no masterpiece like Elden Ring, but the classes are fun and the lantern/umbral mechanic is legitimately great. I'd love to see what this dev might do in the future.

[@Abken.]

Personally I loved the game - played on Day 1. I love the parry system and the spellcasting with key bindings. Enemy variety is decent, boss difficulty was kinda low but I enjoyed the bosses. The world was amazing and interconnected almost on the level of DS1 imo. However, I hate that they added more achievements for the NG+ modifiers... This makes the achievements pointless because you must grind too much for 100% ach and it feels more like just cool stuff you can do and you get achievements for (like Cyberpunk2077) instead of a a game that's supposed to be platinumed which is a bummer

[@Tigerbro6]

I feel like this game has some unreasonable bad flak. Frankly a good game. played it last year and I enjoyed it a lot. Maybe its something about how you play souls games that makes people hate the game so much. Certainly has less polish than lies of p but still was really enjoyable. Some encounters were very obnoxious but I learned fast that you just gotta book it in souls games sometimes. The game doesn't stop you from just running so I use that a lot. my main complaint about this game is how they expect you to run umbral to level up properly but that isnt good at all and is usually just better to go to that one bonfire with the spike head enemy and just backstab him again and again for a huge chunk of souls to progress. Only problem i had with this game was that i actually had to do that more than once to catch up to the bosses.

[@DreamerTrain]

I played at launch, performance was bad but managed to get it work by choosing the auto-detect option (recommended by devs) and changing some string value in a file that I now forgot where it was. Played it at 30FPS at low quality but that's fine, my eyes can't tell the difference for any fps higher than that. I tried re-installing and doing another playthrough a couple months ago and the stutter was even worse, but I no longer remember what file I changed that fixed it for me.

[@RegularEverydayNormalGuy]

This is a game that I really want to like, I bought the deluxe edition to support it and played it on launch and I hated it, decided to wait for a better version and just tried it again for the past few days, about 10 hours later I just can’t seem to have fun with the game, I’ve been looking up guides and tips to enjoy it more, learning more mechanics etc, but it just didnt click for me. I just replayed Dark Souls for like the 6th time, finished Lies of P and then, after seeing the 1.5 update for lords of the Fallen decides to give it another go. If any of the fans of the game have any advice for me on how to enjoy this game more I would appreciate it, it took me some time to start enjoying FromSoft games but now I love them and play them all so I’m hoping Lords of the Fallen will eventually click

Do they still have ranged mobs that are completely immune to damage until you stunlock yourself for 3 seconds out in the open with a lamp to remove their invulnerability?

I love this game so much.

Since the launch I was lucky to avoid most of performance issue) just finished 4th playthrough last Monday and then this patch landed! On my way to finish 5th time with ironman and other mods 😂 like the mod and game itself, general opinion remains the same - either you enjoy this game a lot, or leave unimpressed for most of the people.

PS5 version runs almost perfectly for a while btw, very rare and short stutters (like 1 or 2) and an overall higher framerate then on Xbox in performance mode. It’s a shame they still couldn’t fix the frequent stuttering while traversing the world on PC and Xbox 😢

[@MrHorst38]

Will buy it for 10 bucks in deep deep sale maybe, though the prospect of buying a game with major stutters during gameplay doesn't sound enticing at all tbh.

[@rodrigorocha2935]

I bought it and beat it a month ago, and enjoyed a lot, my biggest problem was the sponge bosses, never felt OP till end game tbh. Also, I felt the str build was stronger than the fire build of my 2nd run. Not a Dark souls level game, but surely above the average

I hear it's about to be on gamepass. So I'm really glad I waited

[@CallTheDocter]

Same here

This game had the misfortune of releasing the same year as Lies of P, Remnant 2 and Jedi Survivor. 2 exceptionally superior Soulslikes and 1 exceptional Sekiro-Soulslike

[@nerdvananc]

The amount of content/updates you had to go through to cover everything they've changed makes me wonder if already had these things earmarked for change before release but were rushed into releasing an unfinished game.

[@wserthmar8908]

I overlooked this one somehow. I only remember well the 2014 one

[@rhanaho5679]

The one thing i have issue with is pvp, players with levels in the thousands while with the new update "new" characters are limited to level 541 (99 in each stat), thus with no retro active change to those overleveled players. The devs have essentially doomed new players pvp experience to the overleveled earlier generation characters with no form of matchmaking level structure that I'm aware of. Lastly, the fact the devs say themselves this is the final title update leaves the pvp community at a loss as new players return/pickup the game with this big issue left unresolved which cause further decreases in faith in Hexworks if this issue is left as is. Either remove stat caps as before or patch all base stat values over 99 to 99 to fix this issue. That's all the concerns i have for the game, thanks for reading.

Was hoping this would turn out to be decent in the end. I'll buy this when it hits a sale again. Seems they've done enough to make it worth a buy. Thanks for the review

[@slothclaws]

50% off on steam, jsyk!

[@kennyhunter4432]

@@slothclaws wish I had a decent PC, sadly I'm a console loser 😂. Gave up trying to keep up with PC hardware about 10 years ago. Thanks though man

[@coconutologist]

Thanks for the video. Active support for a title is impressive. Onward to 400k. All glory to the algorithm.

[@joseguzman34]

One of my favorite games of all time!

[@rodrigoluzz7534]

The game is ok. But Lies of P is better in almost everything. As someone with only a few bucks in my pocket, the choice is clear 😅
