[@karmicbacklash]

LoP was amazing but it’s always a bit of a tricky topic comparing contemporary games to older titles especially when those old games provide the entire foundation for the new. I mean, the games should be getting better right? But for whatever things P does better (and some things it definitely does) it will never capture that same feeling I had on my first trips through Bolataria and Lordran simply because it is ultimately derivative. Amazing but derivative.

[@spiderjerusalem8505]

Hard agree, as much as I liked Lies of P... It won't stay with me like souls games did. I don't know why I feel it's forgettable. Maybe lack of environment variations? Even though there were more than just city, I can't really explain it.

[@saxoman1]

For me, it has surpassed Dark Souls in many ways, but has also not quite lived up to it in many ways. Its a bit too linear to catch the wonderment of DS1 Lordran, which to this day, is one of my favorite video game worlds every made and feels more like a real world than most modern open world games. It also uses the "enemy hiding behind the corner" trick WAAAAY too much. And its last area drags on a bit too much for my tastes. BUT!!! Its combat and mini-boss/boss design are second to NONE imo. Story is straight forward. It also, SHOCK, runs at arbitrary framerates (I ran at 144hz, not even supposedly modern Elden Ring ran at more than 60hz without a multiplayer breaking mod) and is VERY WELL optimized (makes combat fluidity even better!). And it feels like the first TRUE high level, modern souls-like experience! Fromsoft could learn a thing or two. And this is their first outing?! Outstanding! Can't wait for the DLC and sequel!

How did you finally master the perfect guard? I can do it almost all of the time with some attacks from some enemies, but the delayed ones and many of the more inhuman ones are devilishly difficult to read...

[@MarkerMurker]

If you're still having trouble, you could use Absolute Defense instead

[@naturallawgiver]

@@MarkerMurker a fable art isn't a good consistent solution. To perfect guard you musr hold block at the exact moment where the enemy is at the peak of their wind up, they pause for a microsecond before they swing. What works for me is to watch the shoulder, the way a boxer would but with some enemies it can still be hard to read.

[@DylanRiley2011]

I find an animation that they do and literally count in my head for when the attack lands afterwards. Then I spam guard until I can figure out the perfect guard timing by counting, and then I count every time I see that animation. This is the only soulslike game where I feel that I can do that consistently

[@avaliantsoul5408]

10:15 While I do agree with this to some extent, I personally find DS engaging because the gear-locking system pushes me out of playing just the knight class, which is basically the best class in the games. Also, I've found that DS mainly encourages me to experiment by challenging me to switch things up, not because I NEED to in order to beat a boss or something, but because I WANT to simply to prove to myself that I CAN. Its very much an internal/intrinsic motivation, rather than external/extrinsic. Definitely not for everyone. For example, after clearing Smouldering Lake (IIRC) with my knight in DS3, I completely stopped all progress to restart with every other class with the primary goal of seeing how far I could get with each class following the "proper" playstyle of each class. With the exception of the Deprived, which I played with zero armor, I usually made it to The Road of Sacrifice before I got frustrated, or in most cases, a bit bored (can't say DS3 is a game in which I enjoy playing the same six exact levels ten times in a row, tbh entirely my fault lmao), and promptly switched to a new character/class. It was overall, super fun, and it really culminated in my Deprived, when I killed Ludex Gundyr first try (I don't no-life games, so while I didn't expect Ludex to be hard, I also didn't anticipate one-timing him). Cleric was probably my least favorite, although I will say that magic in general, while powerful, feels way too janky and lacking fluidity compared to melee combat. Frankly, there's something fun about being able to beat the game with the same gear I spawned with at the start (as a knight, the other classes I wielded more varied armories). The only thing I did find annoying (and something I hate in other games too), is when I would come across a new weapon that was just straight-up worse due to my sword being +6ed. making materials less grindy would fix that, because otherwise I don't feel comfortable just tossing materials to Andre to +6 a weapon I don't even know is good/bad yet.

[@KapitanPazur1]

>claims to play Dark Souls >claims that class selection matter in the game lmao this clown xDDD

[@avaliantsoul5408]

@@KapitanPazur1 at what point did I claim that class selection "matters"? I pick the class that provides the starting gear/stats/spells for the builds I plan to utilize. It makes it faster to get my builds running rather than spending 4 hours farming souls on high wall's dragon. I assume you're referring to me saying knight is the "best" class, as to which I will simply say, it is the easiest and simplest class. "Best" can mean many different things, but as far as ease and simplicity go, knight is by far the "best" I recommend paying more attention to that bald spot, gramps.

[@Ghorda9]

@@avaliantsoul5408 if you where referring to crystal sage all builds can deal with him using just throwing knives to get rid of the illusions

[@avaliantsoul5408]

@@Ghorda9 I assume you're referencing me getting frustrated around the Road of Sacrifice, in which case yes it was the Crystal Sage that was the issue. Its not so much that he's difficult in general (as you mentioned, throwing knives makes it quite easy), but rather that playing a class "as intended" or "the proper way" (aka: role-playing) puts (self-inflicted) restrictions like not using throwing knives/weapons, which makes the fight way tougher. That being said, I also usually had found my groove by that point and wanted to mix it up again for fun, so I would switch. The difficulty of Crystal Sage with no throwing knives just hastened that a bit.

[@teeman7137]

Then you realize baldure gates 3, an niche genre made by a low profile studio won GOTY and your theory fall flat

[@LG1ikLx]

I have been enjoying Lies of P but it's not as good as Dark Souls 1. It's exploration was a bit more lacking. Character builds are more limited. It's combat is a bit lacking in certain areas and it suffers from artificial difficulty. The game clearly pushes towards aggressive play styles but then certain attacks require you to just run away which ruins the flow of combat. Bosses can be a bit spongey. Random difficulty spikes. Repetitive encounters that all play out similarly and they will all be 1 after the other. But the things I liked was the grinding wheel is cool. And it has icons next to areas on the fast travel list showing you if you need to talk to someone or something. The story is easier to follow then Dark Souls. The training area next to the weapon shop. The parrying with chip damage is cool. The lock on icon changes for back stabbing. I can look past it's flaws because it's this companies first big game. Hopefully in their next title they will be able to fine tune everything. It's not like From Softwares 1st souls games didn't have problems. Demon Souls has a spell that you can move at full speed while casting allowing every encounter to be cheesed. Dark souls 1 Dark bead and mannis catalyst...

One thing I would have to disagree with is when you said the enemy attack telegraph is always easily readable across the whole game, its not. For a lot of the enemies and bosses the attack telegraph is actually really good but for bosses like Simon Manus hes too big, and he takes up a lot of the screen so you can't see him begin his attack animation because its slightly off screen, and for bosses like Luxasia the Complete and The Nameless Puppet, they have zero telegraphs for some of their attacks like the one where the puppet dashes forward instantly or the first attack of Luxasia. Most of the time you just have to die to it enough to have the muscle memory to be able to parry it which isn't very intuitive. Overall great video that I mostly agree with though.

[@toddhoward5555]

I started my Souls journey back in 2009 when the only option to buy the game was to import the Asian version. I used my friend's dad's credit card to buy my very first imported item ever... Demon's Souls. Since then Dark Souls came out, was my favorite game of all time. Dark Souls 2 came out, was a disappointing yet decent game, I ran PvP arenas in that one, probably the best PvP experience I had in any of the Souls games. Bloodborne came out, by far was my favorite game of all time. Still is. Dark Souls 3, the most polished Souls game, a very solid experience that's probably even better than DS1, yet it felt more of the same and too reminiscent of DS1. This feeling was amplified especially after Bloodborne which was a wholly unique experience. Sekiro, not the biggest fan but still a really good game, final boss Ashina was my favorite boss fight of all time from any game. Elden Ring came out, 2nd place to only Bloodborne for me as the best games of all time. Elden Ring sometimes even feels like it should be my all time favorite, but Bloodborne edges it out only due to the combat style, speed, eldritch theme and player movement. Then many many Soulslikes over the years, during those releases, in between. If I only consider true 3D soulslikes, none came close to From Soft for me. Then came Lies of P. For the first time, in 15 years of Souls, the impossible happened. A game that ranks up there with the very best. I had some high expectations after the demo, but the final product blew me away. It's not perfect, I would have liked more exploration and secrets, but for this dev's first foray into Souls, this is a perfect start. I still believe Bloodborne and Elden Ring are the better games, and Dark Souls 1 as a whole was a more memorable experience, but I enjoyed Lies of P more than Dark Souls 2, 3 and Demon's Souls... My current rankings: Bloodborne Elden Ring Dark Souls 1 Lies of P Dark Souls 3 Sekiro Demon's Souls Dark Souls 2 P.S. as an avid DJMax fan for the past 17 years, hearing somber versions of those familiar tunes in Lies of P was another thing that added to the experience.

There is very little to add to your excellent review, aside from the emotional investment in Lies of P, for example, finally being able to hug Spring the cat felt like a vanquished hidden boss or the conversations with the broken puppet in the Swamp chapter. It was as if Round8 sat down at the early design stages and said "How can we improve on the dodge hit dodge game play and the unnecessarily over convoluted side quests of Souls games?" Lies of P also goes down as the most overlooked title from 2023, which illustrates the hollowness of awards and how the gaming world just couldn't get their heads round how a maiden voyage game could be so good. There has always been more than a touch of unwarranted elitism among Souls players and Lies of P just raised the bar considerably for the genre.

Two Renns videos in a week? We are blessed

[@san_toad]

Why? I hate the fact that Renn hasn’t boomed. So many years and my King hasn’t passed 200k. The hidden gem of KZbin. The most intelligent, most insightful, most talented gamer I have ever seen. Your content surpasses any other game reviewer I have ever seen. I can’t stand anyone anymore I’m not even kissing ass I’ve unsubbed from sooo many reviewers bunch of pretentious douche bags that think Master Chief should have been in Super Smash Bros. Thank you Renns Reviews for the quality content I have never watched a video of yours that did not engage me and give me true insight in entertainment. I eagerly wait for every video released. Great video Great content creator Hope 2024 is your year but please never stop. That perfect parry mechanic sold it for me that’s so awesome. Finally I will be rewarded for doing perfect parries. I love the aesthetic and yes the surprise aspect will keep me engaged. This video made me want to explore this game. You sold it to me Renn.

That Act Man bit made me lol.

[@TomasYuriSchuman]

Ur even better than the Lazy Act Man

[@Hepheat75]

This is the best Souls-game FromSoft didn't make. Plus, this game took its inspiration and made something unique out of it.

Happy birthday Ron

Lies of P's boss design is amazing. No caveats.

[@estevansmith6697]

When I was playing through the game it basically felt to me like I was playing an alternate version of Dark souls 3 just with many quality of life improvements. Which is amazing considering DS3 is the GOAT.
