The soulsclone most similar to early Fromsoftware rollslops is...Lords of the fallen 2023? And people still hate this game for some reason

>>713198529 (OP)
The game really reminds me of Demon's Souls, at least in terms of level design. Obviously the combat is pretty janky. Either way, the hate this game got on release was wildly overblown. People just dismissed it completely without even playing it, and those that did and had legitimate criticisms were drowned out by blind hatred.

>>713198529 (OP)
This one was fun, and too many retards who played souls games made pvp fun as fuck

>>713198529 (OP)
It doesn't say fromslopware on the cover so you can't get internet credit for liking it

a better game than elden ring

>>713200226
The game in its current state is wildly different from how it launched. It wasn’t *bad* at launch, but it was pretty mediocre. Now it’s rather good.

>>713198529 (OP)
Which Lords of Fellan?

>>713200226

>>713198529 (OP)
Did they remove the ice skate combat
>>713201783
Not with the ice skating

>>713202147
lords of the fallen is a brilliant game in that it makes dexsluts out themselves
yeah its fixed

The random loot & leveled loot modifiers are great, want them in souls.

>>713200226
The most hilarious part about this game, is that it was designed with basically every build having an access to solid ranged combat options which smoothly integrated into general controls without any weapon swap jank, so levels and enemy encounters were designed with players utilizing ranged combat in mind.

Little did they know, that "people" who made these kinds of games their identity have a great taboo against using ranged and anything else that isn't basic weapon moveset, so they ended up eating a lot of shit, screaming and crying. Eventually devs even had to nerf enemy count in many locations.

Love this game, my favorite soulsclone by far. Love the aesthetic, the gameplay and builds. Just really hate the endings in how shitty and anti climatic they are

>>713204593
Adyr ending would have been cool if it actually had a proper final boss fight. Vs Iselle in her mind for example.

>>713204747
The radiant ending was such a piece of shit. Final boss fight is just the deacons of the deep with a bunch of lore dump that I can´t pay attention to because I´m busy with the fight and then, just a short scene and a text telling me what happened. It´s peak grimdark dumb writhing where everyone are assholes and nothing good can happen because grimdark so everyone must suffer and die

>>713205398
I think that the point of that ending is that it was intended to be a bad ending and you got duped. Orius is not a good deity or your friend. Also nothing said by Adyr in that bossfight is proven wrong anywhere in the game.

>>713198529 (OP)
it's on my wishlist, but we've reached the point of soulslike saturation. it just has too much competition. i might buy when it goes for <$15

i pirated this game a year ago and lost it after my hard drive got fucked up so i never finished it, but it was pretty decent to me. dont understand the hate. probably just contrarian fags on /v/ that feverishly hate dark souls just because its popular

>>713206452
This game has more original dark souls in it than any fromslop that came out after it.

>>713206583
for sure, its probably the best soulslike ive played outside of fromsofts games. why do people hate it though? its much more of what i wanted from dark souls than garbage like dark souls 2 and 3 (though 3 was better than 2)

>>713205730
I understand that, really. But it´s made in such a bad way. So short and, might I say, so meh. I don´t feel like I want to side with the guy filling the world with demons or the weird rot god, so my options were just the god of light. I´d be ok if it turned out to be a tyrant or whatever, but this god didn´t do any of this shit back on the original game so why should I expect this? And it´s not like there´s an option to not side with any god and cut their influence from the world so I gotta pick the worst possible versions of a shin megami chaos or order routes or whatever the fuck is the umbral ending. None of those are something that I´d be interested in picking if I knew what I was doing from the start

>>713206736
>why do people hate it though?
Apparently it had severe technical issues on release. However they polished it for a long time.
Also there was that >>713202960 thing with level design.

>>713206736
It was shit on release. They fixed it with the 2.0 update.

Loved it, but I could not discuss it on here when it came out because I would get attacked for even trying.
The bosses were like raid bosses, and the atmosphere was really kino. One of the better soulslike games on the market.

>>713207019
i should torrent it again after this update, but damn going through the whole game again up to where i got to will be such a slog. i got to around the area right after you kill the abbess boss

>>713206736
It was UE5, and brown people could not run it so they screamed from the rooftops how trash it was until everybody else accepted it.

>>713207249
>i got to around the area right after you kill the abbess boss
thats near the end of the game with only 2 areas afterwards, if you think getting there will be a slog maybe you didn't like the game that much

>>713207587
i mean, in the sense of going through all the areas and grinding for the same weapons, armor and items again would be annoying and very time-consuming.

>>713198529 (OP)
Friend Slopware zoomers who came into this series with DS3 or Smelden Ring think Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 are bad games and therefore do not actually understand this series

>>713198529 (OP)
>And people still hate this game for some reason
It was popular to shit on it when it came out, because unlike Lies of P it was janky and the bosses were easy. Modern fromdrones only care about trial and error bossfights, but as soon as they have to fight two enemies at the same time or an enemy in an hostile environment they go insane and claim the game is "unfair and artificial difficulty, challenging for the sake of it" etc...
As if the spastic bosses of Elden Ring and LoP aren't lmao

>>713204593
Eh the Adyr ending is pretty good. What's insulting is that only Umbral ending has a real final boss.

>>713207938
probably because it has less weeb appeal so the normalfags cant get into

I played the game on patch 1.5 and thought it was pretty good. Certain things like the combat feeling a bit floaty, insanely repetitive weapon movesets, and the umbral world being more tedious than tense with all the fodder trash marred the experience a bit, but it's got good level design and decent boss fights. Now it's up to...2.0.14, it seems. Is it worth revisting at this point?

>>713208104
Did 1.5 have game mutators, that's about the only thing I can think of worth visiting for

>>713198529 (OP)
I played it some. Hated the lantern. Is there a way to just ignore the lantern? I’m playing Dark Souls not Luigi’s Mansion 2 why do I have a lantern to get rid of objects?

>>713198529 (OP)
I liked a lot of it, but the lantern wasn't for me, and the map design stressed me out. There were about 6 gorillion branching paths with no map.

>>713209424
That's the best part abut it, first time feeling like dark souls 1 since that game

>>713209475
I hate that feeling of "I need to remember this is here so I can go back and check it" when it stacks upwards of a dozen times in short succession, which was how a few areas felt.

>>713198529 (OP)
Why can't westernshits make action games? Are FPS and cinematic games all they can do?

the game was mainly sub par because you can be a straight up sorc and the weapons were all the same. There was brevet any reason to use any of the weapons as they were all the same. They also copied the worse part of soulsborne instead of fixing it.

It's fine for 1 play through. But that's it

>>713209601
why is the obese weeb so obsessed

>>713209601
Why can't easternshits make RPG games? Are visual novels and moviegames all they can do?

Is there any map in this game cause I keep getting lost or roaming in circles man...

>>713213351
yeah your journal, they actually show you where to go

>>713213525
Thank you!

>>713213351
Git gud, unironically. Navigation is one of the few skills required to have success in this game
