Pretty much evey single cool thing in this game is stolen from somewhere else

it's okay when FromSoft does it though

>>714116274 (OP)
At least 2 is blatant about it. And the reference is Silent Hill and a bunch of classic art instead of Berserk and Hentai.

>>714116274 (OP)
is it as horrifying as reddit describe it? like the rape scenes and stuff..

>>714116274 (OP)
I think the coolest thing is the lore, I don't think that's stolen.
Also somebody post TRIAL AND ERROR pic

Grasping at straws there

jesus christ anon this is a blue board

Take from things that you like and make something new with the conglomeration. Rather than seeing stuff like this and saying "this is a ripoff of X, Y and Z, therefore its bad" you should rather say "i like X, Y and Z, Im glad there is more stuff like it". Shit, why not do this yourself, AI and free assets works, youre more concerned with originality rather than making something at all. Truth is, you are not going to make the next culutral touchstone, youre not that special, just make the thing you like.

In Termina either Pocketcat or Perkele is lying to the player about Rher. Pocketcat claims to get direct orders from Rher, which means Rher is still actively observing Humanity while Perkele claims that Rher's presence left a long time ago and the moon is basically his dead body.
I wonder which one is right? I lean towards the pocketcats because their story is consistent between a massive time gap, and it makes sense for Rher to throw a big fit over Reila/Logic.

>>714116274 (OP)
I think you're right but I also think that the combination of all those cool things makes for a unique experience nonetheless.

>>714116739
Rape scenes are just gameover scenes for the most part.

>>714116739
Conceptually some of the stuff is pretty brutal but at the end of the day it's (usually) being done to some 32x32 pixel art characters. Unless you're particularly disturbed by rape, sex, castration, etc then I don't see it really bugging most people who would go on this website.
Unironically I think something like Outlast is more viscerally horrifying if only because it's more realistic looking.

>>714116739
You saw off enemies' heads for money and there's like a load bonesaw noise. And Pocketcat beats a bag of children while there are crying noises. You get anal raped and you crawl around in a trail of blood. Fed to pigs.

It's just meant to be dark and shocking, so if you don't want to be subjected to a horrifying dungeon where your character is constantly on the verge of starving then don't play it.

>>714116274 (OP)
It’s obviously inspired by a lot of things but it doesn’t make it bad. His own designs and settings are really fucking cool

>>714116274 (OP)
I'm on the fence about trying this game. I like the art style and the story sounds interesting but everything I have heard about the gameplay makes it sound awful.

>>714116274 (OP)
In no other game can I willingly jump down a hole filled with feces and semen then die down

>>714120821
>Trial and Error has porn in it
That's... a weird take

>>714120821
i don't think theres anything pornographic about F&H

Based

>>714116876
The Old Gods/New Gods are basically Berserk's Apostles/Godhand/Idea of Evil. Legarde is outright Griffith.

Good artists borrow. Great artists steal.

Kino inspiration equals kino product.

>>714120958
Inflammatory ragebait image is of course bullshit lol.

>>714119167
Perkele could also just be using Rher's traces to summon pocketcat, maybe the traces of a god still being there also imply traces of minions.
Perkele said that Rher left a long time ago, like all old gods, but their presences are obviously still here since we literally fight the traces of Rher and we can use their magic through ritual circles.

>>714121425
I do have to ask about Rher. What's the point of drawing his summoning circle?
Of course I'm probably better learning myself from playing.

>>714121575
The rher sigils are only effective on some specific circles. It also gives you more affinity so you can get the rher skills of the hex, but I don't remember if they're good or not.

>>714121865
>The rher sigils are only effective on some specific circles
I see

>>714121575
Rher sigils will EVENTUALLY give you a version of fast travel different from AlllMer portals, but it takes a minimum of 3 affinity.
You can try to make a save point and experiment to see what every sigil does since ritual circles are very limited and very useful

>>714116274 (OP)
Yes, I noticed that as well. I feel Fear & Hunger is proof that an artist can rift something and make it into another thing. Here's to the Termina update coming up.

Should i play Termina on easy mode?
Normal is really fucking brutal. Pretty much every enemy can two shot me.

>>714116274 (OP)
Honestly the best original thing from this game is the main menu theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg3rsQ0yDRI
For the lore I could just reread Berserk and have a superior version of it. But this theme I really really like.

>>714122874
I'd feel dirty playing it on EZ desu. It removes traps, babies you with extra saves (removes pressure), and removes the mob which is a critical obstacle to overcome each play through. Up to you though, man.

>>714123284
WHY ARE THOSE DUDE'S DORKS HANGING OUT WTF

>>714123284
I ended up doing easy mode because the game screws you over if you don't collect the engineer girl first. She opens most of the doors for you, you get a second party member (extremely helpful), and that thing doesn't chase you through the buildings too during daytime of day 1.

>>714123092
By the way what's the lore behind repetetive knocking sound in this?

>>714122874
I switched to easy during my first normal playthrough and the game became much more enjoyable, no point in ruining the experience for internet "badass" points

>>714123493
Probably the organs of the God of the Depths pulsating.

Why didn't Termina 'click' as much as the first game? And is it true the fandom's gone full obnoxious Discord/YouTube retrospective? I haven't played the games since shortly after 2 came out
t. got into the first one in 2019

Are there mods for more saves so I don't have to deal with the overly tedious part of the games

>>714122874
you're better off using the save anywhere cheat to learn the game
Once you know where all the good loot spawns and the tricks to certain enemies the game is fairly easy overall, and it shouldn't be too hard to do a saveless run after fully exploring the game on a first playthrough.

>>714123538
>internet "badass" points
if you take away my internet badass points then i have nothing!

>>714121060
rollslop slurper

>>714116495
Ah yes, Gael from Elden Ring

>>714124316
Also Crystalized tears from Bloodborne.

>only found F&H and termina after the threads became shit
>last hope is the never ever update for termina for discussion
>threads will probably still have dogshit quality from the eternal tranny raging
Mourn me

>>714124241
Only if fromsoftware makes them, I haven't played any other soulslike games save for Hollow Knight if that even counts. My favorite is Bloodborne for it's fast paced gameplay and gothic horror setting. What's your favorite game?

>>714128031
This reads like AI.

>>714116274 (OP)
I've only managed to recruit the little girl and that one soldier woman deep in the caves. oh yeah and the dog. this game is hard

>>714128984
She rejects Enki so it's actually better to watch her get hit with a rock

>>714123994
Because it's better and has a lot of cool bosses

>>714128984
The knight girl is actually the best character in the game, she comes with armor and a decent weapon, the girl is mostly useless but she can tank some hits for you. Once you get a full party difficulty goes down severely.

>>714116495
lmao some of these are so fucking retardedly generic. big log club? did you know it's copying when your demon has...le horns! go fuck yourself nigger

FH1
>after dying a bunch you find the knight after getting getting bad teammates like girl and moonless
FH2
you spawn three screen changes from the second best recruitable contestant.

>>714130634
>double getting
The dementia is finally kicking here I go!

>>714130634
>you spawn three screen changes from the second best recruitable contestant
It's either you recruit her or you're fucked in F&H2. I seriously went through a ton of shit because she disappears after the first morning. The game punishes you so hard for sleeping in a bed.

>>714130751
I'm assuming from that pic >>714130634 that Marina doesn't ditch you if you have Abella on your team too.

>>714130921
Marina only doesn't ditch if you're playing as Levi.

>>714130921
The drawing is based off this dialog. I cannot wait to start a new run after the update drops so I can get Marina and Levi's thoughts on all the new parts of Prehevil we're getting.
