It's no masterpiece.

It's still the best game to come out this year and it only costs 50 to 60 dollars instead of the 80 to 90 dollars that all the AAA slop game companies are pushing.

It's not better than Doom Dark Ages

>>712839864
It's at least 10 times better

>>712840391
It's at least 10 times worse. I refunded it after failing to beat the stupid tutorial balloon.

Absolutely kino fight

>>712843336
Haha this fight was wonky. It took me a few tries to beat that ball. It's more like a rythm game than anything else but I still find it fun.

>>712843461
Keep coping

>>712843648
It's fucking shameful

>faggot's really trying to make it a shitpost that the parry game has a gimmick parry boss

It's close.

>meanwhile, in reality

>>712844023
I was going to ask why but then I remembered where we are. It's just one optional enemy in the game, and if you struggle you can level up and come back to woop his ass later. I also liked the trumpet bro btw.

>>712837462 (OP)
It's one of the best games ever made. I don't believe you're the target audience, thirdie-kun.

>"haha look at just how fucking retarded and flawed our combat system is"
>e33tards clap

I have a feeling it'll be a bigger sweep than baldur's gate 3 when it comes to goty awards at the end of the year
They will realistically win everything they'll be nominated for. What game can so far beat them in any given category?

that was my initial reaction too - but the more I think about the game and the more I discuss it with others, my opinion of it rates higher. I still don't think it's a masterpiece, because the plot particularly in Acts 1 and 2 has serious problems in the first playthrough.

I'll hold my final judgement at the conclusion of my second playthrough.

The game does try to tell you just barely enough breadcrumbs to keep you interested, perhaps to a fault. It was fun speculating what the fuck the setting was all about with friends, otherwise I might have become annoyed

>>712837462 (OP)
Not at all. It has a lot of flaws.
Balance is non existent, and the action mechanics get in the way of the RPG elements. There are no builds, no jobs, no real elements integrated in the battles, its just dodge/parry with tons of lumina stacked. The side content is repetitive or downright boring. Game design is lackluster in general, the lack of minimap and proper visual reading makes exploring places a chore. The story loses its meaning by the end of act 2 and the post content is downright unbalanced, just like FFX. Sciel and Lune get completely tossed aside for the teenager, the new guy verso and the family you are not emotionally invested in, more like they force you to care. The story completely forgets about Gustav as well.

I still liked the game but people really got brainwashed by this game, and the fact that people are setting it as an standard is just downright depressing. I truly, truly hope they just let exp33 be and not try to emulate it.
No, i dont need elden ring exploration. No, i dont need unbalanced game mechanics.

lmao zoom zoom

>>712839864
Yes it is, zoomie

>>712843697
it's literally 1 fight like this lmao. most players aren't even gonna find that boss.

Kow IQ, no wonder why you prefer DOOM

you need to kill yourself

>>712845103
Dark souls games generally get away without it because they are short, readable places. You know when you are going forward or backwards.
Exp33 tries so hard to sniff its own farts that they make the places far bigger than what they should be. They really think you are like in awe like "OMG THIS PLACE......IS SO MISTERIOUS AND PRETTY.,............", nigger ive already seen a similar place before you are not gonna surprise me anymore

>>712844718
I think blue prince is still my goty - but I understand it's not exactly a wide appealing game.

>>712845042
The real story starts exactly at the end of act 2. Anything before that is mere Zanzibart and foreshadowing fests.

>>712837462 (OP)
Retards also applauded Baldur’s Gate 3 and that game was pozzed garbage with shit combat. I don’t believe for a second this game is half as good as it’s made out to be.

I pirated it last night, so we’ll see, but I’m expecting a 7/10 at best.

Okay, /v/
So it's dogshit, what is PEAK kino then?

>>712845763
I was turned off Blue Prince cause literally every review said "I played 20 hours of this and it's the best puzzle game ever made that will last you for hundreds of hours"

>>712845494
What, do you think that pic is a "gotcha"?
do you know what "readibility" is? i swear i got the term right, maybe it is another word.
The thing is it doesnt matter if the map is generally linear, the map tries to hide it by making it really busy to look at. It is exhausting.
One of the most obvious examples of this is the forbidden woods in bloodborne. It was generally a normal map, but the readibility was TERRIBLE, you take far too much time making sure you are going the right way because the assets distribution and the colors make it exhausting.

>>712845506
Actually yeah, thats why dark souls is so revered to this day. Remember the "modern games guide you all the time, glad that dark souls doesnt hold the player's hand!"

>>712845786
Do you think FFX is the best FF?
Do you think Sekiro is the best From game?
If so, then you are literally me and will love this game

>>712845913
>AAAAAAAHHHHHH ARE THOSE SOME SATURATED COLORS? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHERE TO GO?!?!?

>>712845947
Never played a single Final Fantasy game in my life and I think Sekiro is a B tier game.

I was interested in Baldur's gate 3 but then i saw that the only thing people spoke about was the sex and nothing of the gameplay. Also, apparently Baldur's gate 3 was filled with millenial reddit writing, similar to Divinity OS2 (a game i actually like) but worse, so i didnt get it.

What do you want to know? Exp33 wasnt really pozzed. As for the combat, the idea is fine but the balance is terrible. You wont really care about the RPG mechanics, you are mostly just gonna be learning enemy attacking patterns to dodge/parry. Thats primarly the biggest problem with the game.

>>712846527
Retarded faggot doesn't even know what RPG mechanics are

>>712843336
This is honestly one of the funniest fights in the game.
You're sitting there parrying him 60 times a turn, going "wtf this will take hours." Then he just gives up and dies.
