How is it? Is it more like Dark Souls 1 with a world to explore or linear slop like Dark Souls 3 or most souls likes?

It's linear for the most part, but the level design is on par (better at times) with demon's souls and dark souls

It's ok if you want to play more roll & parryslop. I liked the setting.

Progression is linear, much like DS3. There is an optional area, and the levels generally have enough verticality, hidden rooms and side routes to encourage more playtime if you're going the completionist route — which isn't particularly grindy in this case.

>>715625517
So... if I despise Dark Souls 3 and most modern souls like games because of the too big focus on bosses instead of adventure... should I buy it for 12$?

>>715624318 (OP)
it's good. very good atmosphere and fun bosses. the weapons really should have more moves though. it's just a few on each weapon

>>715625623
In that case, probably not. There's a gauntlet of around 7-8 bosses in quick succession in the endgame, which might put you off.

>>715625854
Eh honestly it's more like 3 strong enemies and possible 2 bosses for the finale
The real true ending shit

But the game is what i wanted souls to be
Fun level design, exploration, secrets, small areas
A real adventure game with simple to follow quests if you look around instead of the obscure impossible to follow esoteric random bullshit

The hitboxes and fights were fun, nothing over the but technical enough to be aggressive as your skillset allows , none of that 45sec waiting to make 1 hit and then running and rolling around for 60sec
I got it for 30$ and i loved it more than elden ring and the dlc slop

>>715624318 (OP)
If i like code vein i would also like this one though?

>>715624318 (OP)
It’s more like DS1. The environments aren’t nearly as diverse but there’s allot of exploration that isn’t just straight halls and this is coming from someone that didn’t mind Lies of P’s level design.

To me AI limit is like 1 part DS1, 1 part DS3 1 part BB 1 part

>>715624318 (OP)
My GOTY

>>715624318 (OP)

>>715624585
what the fuck are you smoking, the level design is nothing like dark souls.

>>715629484
millaire's voice is nice

>>715624318 (OP)
It's most likely bloodborne, right down to the movement and attacks. The most powerful spell in this game is just a call beyond (but good).

>>715624318 (OP)
I don't like it because it's a bossfight simulator, and 99% of the bosses can be stunlocked by stacking buffs then alternating between light and heavy attacks

>>715631524
What are you talking about. There are hardly any bosses in the game. This game probably has the most spaced out bosses of any soulslike. You can literally explore a secret part of the final level before you fight the third boss.

>>715624318 (OP)
It's alright, besides looking like an early gen PS4 game.

>>715632073
Non boss enemies are completely trivial because they're even easier to stunlock, and you have an infinite healing spell
On most areas I never had to use more than 2 flasks

>>715624318 (OP)
One of the best games ever made!

>>715632550
>and you have an infinite healing spell
I never found that one so the game was more challenging for me.

>>715633346
Well I think the game was more challenging and rewarding without it. Made the first few levels rather difficult and you're constantly looking for shortcuts.

>>715625623
I'd say so. The bosses are the weakest aspect of the game. They aren't bad, but outside of a few exceptions, they are rather unimpressive.
It's mostly adventure

Any game with an all-female cast is an instant fuck no from me

>>715633857

>>715624318 (OP)
>How is it?
It's one of the most fun soulslikes I've ever enjoyed.
I'd say only Nine Sols would beat it in terms of enjoyment, but that game is 2D.
As for the final rating, I don't think I could give it any higher than a 7.
The game feels very rough. Enemy design isn't very varied, animations are a delayfest and level design has too many areas where you can fall to your death.
But by God is the game fun.

>>715625854
you're genuinely retarded

>>715636437
You're the one deferring to others to make your own financial decisions for you, fuckwit. Do some sleuthing of own by watching gameplay footage if you don't like my answer.

are you stupid? in what world would you think im OP?

>uses Wo Long's god tier spirit meter system instead of stamina, this alone makes it far more fun to play than the vast majority of soulslikes
>linear world progression but fairly impressive, expansive levels, a few detours here and there, one "real" side level

>decent lore and story, surprisingly
>two movesets per weapon class and the movesets are very limited (still better than shit like LOTF though)
>only one spell slot despite a decent variety of spells, just fucking why
Overall, fun game.

>>715637286
How is Wo Long?
I only tried the beta.

>>715629938
It sure is. She pronounces some words funny too

>>715637486
>How is Wo Long?
Decent after all the patches and DLCs. There's no stamina, base attacks are free. Instead of stamina, there's spirit, you rapidly accumulate it by deflecting and doing light attacks, you spend it on martial arts, spells and guarding. You gan go into "negative" spirit, but if the bar becomes completely red, any attack will guard break you and leave you open for a long time, usually a death sentence.
Levels are like smaller Nioh levels but with jumping and verticality. There's an NPC helper system, they are mostly there for your first run, in NG+ they become useless.
Magic system is amazing. Not only all the spells fluidly combo with melee and martial arts, there's a wuxing system on top of it. You can cancel enemy spells by using the correct counter element, for example an ice boss cannot use his aoe attacks if you have an earth spell, it will cancel the ice out.
The game also really wants you to do all NG+ cycles. It adds new enemies but also gives ng+ gear up to 6 martial art slots leading to impressive combo potential. Then in the endgame it gives you a roguelike mode alongside the ability to improve and swap martial arts around. Plus bosses on ng+ drop new spells, between 3 DLCs there are nearly 40 new spells and all of them are amazing.

The only big issue with the game is the morale system, it kinda forces the game to flip flop between "bullshit hard" and "too easy" depending on the amount of flags and exploration you do on the level, but patches made it so you can control its cap so you can essentially set up your own difficulty in exchange for better drops.

It's incredibly linear.

>>715636251
>level design has too many areas where you can fall to your death.
That's how games are supposed to be. It's what makes blighttown and sens fortress memorable. Lack of platforming is often a red flag for the whole game being slop.

>>715638769
It's not that linear. Each level has multiple paths and large hidden areas to explore, with the swamp being completely non linear. There's a decent amount of interconnected feeling limited by performance issues I presume that force the devs to use those warps.

>>715633857
it's not all female cast

If you want a DEMON'S Souls like with a world to explore, play The Last Hero of Nostalgaia.

From the starting area to final boss the game is relatively linear. So there isn't anything equivalent to fumbling your way into New Londo Ruins right after landing in Firelink, or finding Blighttown through Darkroot Basin and Valley of the Drakes, if that kind of non-linearity is what you're looking for. However I found the levels themselves to be well designed and fun to explore, such that they didn't feel like straight corridors to bosses. I personally enjoyed the game a lot.

>>715639295
I think I tried this game and didn't get far, I remember the level design feeling kinda plain and flat and enemies being boring to fight and bloated. Maybe I'll try it again later though since that was a year or two ago

>>715638973
first correct post itt

people saying this game is linear clearly didn't play any other soulslike

>>715638973
Most of the levels have only two transition points, though. That's why I say it's linear. You won't be finding any funny shortcuts from Sewer Town into the first city map with all the high-rises; you get what I'm saying?

>>715640224
This is true although I would say the same is true for Bloodborne and DS3

>>715625623
DS3 isn't even that much of a "boss gauntlet" fuck are you talking about?

>>715628403
I liked both Code Vein and AI Limit a lot but there aren't really that many similarities outside of anime graphics. There's no character creation or traditional stamina system in AI Limit, and the variety of playstyles is more limited when compared to how customisable things are in Code Vein with blood codes and inheriting gifts. It's also less anime trope heavy and the story is presented in a more subtle way similar to how it was in DS1. Unlike Code Vein which has a tonne of cutscenes where shit gets explained to you. I preferred how the combat itself felt and the level of design in AI Limit a lot more though.

>>715641082
kek based
people arbitrarily draw some stupid line in the sand about rolling or bosses or how fast/slow the game should be or whatever. If you just want to play 1:1 dark souls then go play that and never play anything else again and stay miserable for the rest of your life and kys

>>715641082
There are two kinds of souls fans, those who enjoy the combat and those who enjoy the exploration.
The former wants more bosses, less exploration and have just finishes another no weapon level 1 Dark Souls run.
The latter wants less bosses (or more padding), more exploration and aren't tryhards, so the game is generally harder for them.

>>715624318 (OP)
I have this on my backlog, maybe I'm gonna play it after I'm done with Thymesia and as Crab's Adventure

>>715641082
I would just say overall the direction for AI Limit is right. It's an anime soulslike game and specializes in the anime aspect. Other soulslikes don't really have this uniqueness and are just tryhard souls clones which never works because you cannot beat fromsoft at their own formula.

it doesn't excel at anything really but it's still somehow the 2nd best game I've played this year and I enjoyed it

>>715641941
There's two types of souls fans
the type who are pissy babies and won't shut the fuck up about how nameless king raped their asshole raw so they'll never play anything harder than dark souls again and the ones who actually just enjoy video games. FUCK YOU

>>715643094
>nameless king
Nameless King was pretty easy though.
Now Pontiff Sulyvahn on the other hand...

>>715643094
Lol please all the "hard" bosses in ER can be trivially defeated with mimic tear or by just spamming takers flames or bloodboone ritual or whatever. What people don't want is a unreal engine tech demo with interesting bosses and nothing else. If you do want that go play Khazan, which flopped lol.

>>715642448
It excels at having characters that make you want to protect them.

AI Limit might not be "high" quality, but Code Vein is very much inferior.

>>715649169
Yeah, it's much better than code vein.

>>715637286
The spell slot limit doesn't really matter as you can swap them at any time and using the equipment menu pauses the game. I would've prefered spell swap button, but at least the lack of one does not limit your builds.

>>715649907
Hardswapping is annoying as fuck, especially when you need several button presses to do it. I made an autohotkey script to automate it and it was still annoying as fuck.

>>715649169
>>715649791
god no

>>715624318 (OP)
Don't know. My question is if the enemies do what most Soulslikes do and make you roll every other second like a deranged schizo.

>>715641747
Maybe I liked Dark Souls BECAUSE it was slow, eh? You could play as a knight instead of a ninja cosplaying as one, and using a shield and general movement was a real alternative to dodging everything.

>>715650128
I agree that the game would be better with a dedicated spell swap. If it were up to me, i would replace the arm ability swap with a spell swap and have arm abilities require a hard swap instead.

>>715650553
You can do both
>left and right replaces arms
>up and down replaces spells

>>715650391
Alisha does not roll. She sidesteps like a bloodborne hunter. There are four defensive options:
Parry
Shield
Dodge
Super Dodge with electric afterimages

>>715650391
You quickstep instead of a roll. The game doesn't have stamina so you can play a lot more aggressively compared to most soulslikes. I parried most things, so i can't really comment on how much dodging is needed if you don't want to parry or block.

>>715650391
No, this game is mostly focused on parrying and blocking.
You can instead roll around if you wish, though.

>>715624318 (OP)
I saw few screenshots and saw first few mins of gameplay, and I want to try it because it looks like (based on what I've seen) the game is set is some kind of post-apocalyptic setting mixed with Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter. Maybe I'm wrong...

My fav FromS game is DS2 SOTFS (inb4 contrarian), and my fav non-From Souls games are Lies of P, Wuhankong (if you consider that as Souls-like), and Lords of the Fallen (I only played it recently after that big patch).

>>715651049
>the game is set is some kind of post-apocalyptic setting mixed with Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter.
Sort of? The air isn't poisonous, though humanity is on the brink of extinction due to all the monsters around.

>>715651049
Yeah, you'll probably enjoy AI Limit. Word to the wise: the CN voiceover is quite easy on the ears compared to the EN dub.

>>715651210
I mean humanity is less ln brink of extinction because of monsters and more because all plant life died taking most life with it.

>>715651510
They can still eat mud though

>>715651385
The EN dub is mostly bad, but the game just isn't the same if you can't hear Arissa repeat the last word of every sentence she hears, as she stares vacuously into the distance with her mouth agape.

They're not. 99% of posts made with the term "tranny" or "AGP" or whatever are made by another site made explicitly to shitpost 4chan to death called "the sharty".
These people are responsible for all the basedjaks you see. They have no stance, they're just there to shitpost and gather (you)s because they hate the site.

>>715624318 (OP)
Very enjoyable, I had a great time with it. More like Bloodborne than Souls though. Not extremely difficult, the hardest fight (Ursula) wasn't easy at all but certainly beatable.
It is more exploration focused with elaborate areas rather than constant boss fights, more akin to DS1 than 3. And the area design is nice.
Got some jank, but it's nothing too irritating.
Graphics are servicable, not great But I'm of the opinion that graphics could've stopped advancing at about this level of quality and we would've been just fine so take it as you will.
Gear is... weapons aren't very balanced, some are way better than others but nothing should be too awful to beat the game with. Armors have different damage and status resistances but they're mostly cosmetic imo.
Characters are nice, nothing bad here. Best girl is Arissa with how incredibly adorably autistic she is.

I bought it with the 10% off early purchase deal, and didn't regret it.

>>715653163
One more thing that might be a deal breaker, there are only two audio options. English and Chinese. No Japanese.
The English is serviceable enough and preferable to weird chinksect sounds.

>>715652856
You have to fight the winged colossaint too in the same area

Interesting how AI limit can still get 100+ reply threads. Khazan has been forgotten and I don't even think people talk about stellar blade anymore.

Khazan just looked so goddamn generic that I didn't give it a second glance.
I only learned it was an AAA game last week.
Stellar Blade has denuvo, so that'll still take a while to pop off.

>>715654657
You need to hit the enemy and avoid being hit to recharge your sync rate which is your MP for spells and weapon arts. But spells are by far the most powerful things in the game and spirit builds are broken. In particular ex railgun and ephemeral beam.

>>715654657
yeah magic is just there to supplement melee. it (and weapon special moves) runs off of a bar you fill up by attacking, you can specialize in magic in the sense that you'll have access to more spells and do a lot more damage with them, but there's no wizard playstyle.

>>715654523
huh. well, i've not played it since may so i guess if forgot.

DLC is neat, but think we will get a sequel?

>>715654657
Mage build is easy mode. You still have to hit things, but magic gets very powerful if you invest into it. If you decide to go the magic route, don't overlook the conversion normal seal. It is very powerful when used with the seal of investigator (main seal for mages).

>>715654846
>>715654903
Got it, thanks anons

>>715654990
probably? AIL seems to have been pretty damn successful, so the logical thing to do is a follow-up; but if the devs want to broaden their experience, that's cool too.

game really stuck with me like few of the other soulslikes did, and i play a lot of soulslikes
great atmosphere, visuals, surprisingly decent story that actually fucking made sense when all put together, combat was fast and fluid and felt good, areas were fun to explore even if mostly in linear fashion, and none of the bosses were aggravatingly shit like they are in so many soulsclones. hell, loskid was an excellent fight i'd put pretty far up there for boss fights.
just thinking about it is making me want to replay but i'll hold off a little longer until i forget more of it

>>715624318 (OP)
Last week everyone said this game was like DS1 and exploration heavy. Now you are saying is like DS3 and doesn't have exploration. I bought it because everyone said its like DS1, so which is it.

>>715655338
>game really stuck with me like few of the other soulslikes did, and i play a lot of soulslikes
Same. This game just has something. I ultimately played through the entire game three separate times.
Can't wait for the DLC.

>>715655464
i stretched one playthrough into 36 hours, i just didn't want it to be over
is DLC actually confirmed or is this hopes & dreams?

>>715655407
It's a bit hard to compare to dark souls as it is much smaller. It has optional areas and interconnectivity, but no real sequence breaks.

OP here. How is the atmosphere of the game. Does it have somekind of (ambience) soundtrack? The environment and surroudings are looking peak structure.

>>715655626
I dont really care about sequence breaks. Does it have one large interconnected world?

mostly ambient with some great boss tracks, fits really well without overpowering anything

>>715655721
There are loading screens at elevators and such, plus some areas are connected via metro rides. Overall, it is one coherent map and not a random sequence of levels. If bloodborne counts as one large world, then this does too.

>>715655737
>>715655732
fuck yes

>>715625623
For $12? Yea its worth that. It won't be some grand intoxicating experience but if you enjoy Souls-like games you'll probably get a kick out of it. Then quickly forget it existed the week after you beat it.

Also make sure to support the devs if you have the money for it.

>>715655721
it's not seamless; the world is divided into big levels and some of the routes send you on loops to familiar areas- so yes, there's some interconnectivity, but nothing complex or esoteric.

>>715645964
Why is my wife ass so fat? Like, way fatter than Arrisa, but she is half her size. Also her CN voice is stupid good, when she breaks down and starts screaming and crying I felt that.

I want Loskids stripped armor wearable in the DLC. Reminded me of Claymore.

>>715655715
it's mostly just ambience, but it works with the look and atmosphere of the game which is what you want for this kind of bleak setting anyway. not really any standout tracks on their own, but also nothing that detracted from the experience either

>>715656228
The Bladers in general had real heavy Claymore vibes to them. For me it's Ursula's armor from the first fight, was disappointed the version you could get didn't have the cloak

I'd say this game is to soulslikes what Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is to metroidvanias. A relatively short game that isn't near best in the genre, but does a lot of things right and has no major flaws.

>>715636251
>level design has too many areas where you can fall to your death.
What? I think I only fell to my death one time in the entire game when I wasn't paying attention in the church area. I don't think there's a single other souls-like where I died less times from falling.

>>715653935
Man, I want to breed this goat so much. Arrisa and Loskid are alright, but she drives me crazy. And the best part is that we know as a fact that a Blader and a human can have children no problem, and Bladers loose none of their fighting abilities afterward. AND the kid gets superpowers too.
In fact, the ONLY reason humanity survived at all was because a blader and a human joined in love.

>>715655721
It's level design isn't like that, when people say it's more like demons souls or bloodborne is how the enemies are placed on the level, how you have to explore little rooms to get items, how there are small jumps and drops to get back to the start of the level and get hidden items, etc.
It's not interconnected, but there are some trains that take you to other levels (only like 3 though). If you NEED to play an open wold game (why would anyone want that), then this isn't for you. You can't have good enemy placement unless the levels are closed off.

>>715624318 (OP)
>still no maga cover
one freaking jerb, larping marketer

>>715651049
It's more like God Eater. Post apocalyptic hellhole, but the monsters are also the ones providing the air that keeps humanity alive.

>>715624585
How can it be linear and like Ds1 at the same time?

>>715655407
DaS3 is exploration heavy, some people don't understand overall game progression/structure versus level design. DaS3 has a more linear order that you each area in but the actual levels themselves are not linear. You can safely ignore anyone that uses the term "boss rush" because 99% of the time these people have no clue what they're talking about.

AI limit is closer to DaS3 in that the overall area progression is more linear but the levels themselves still have side paths, shortcuts, and good exploration in general.

i did a dex build my first playthrough
should i go strength or magic for a second?
also should i do new game plus or do a new save?

I kind of want an anime adaption of it

>>715657872
Strength so much fun
The corrupted scythe is the best weapon in the game before you get the roadsign.

Only my second ever souls like (after code vein)
Was immediately obsessed and went through till the end of ng+2 to see all the endings.
>first one done on m+kb
^ that in itself made it more of a challenging fun experience than i had with CV.
Music was a low point compared to Cv/neir.
Boss battles were challenging (Ursula on ng+2 on kb was insane)
and the ones that were a cheese became interesting challenging fights (for me) in the ngs.
the exploration and secrets were easy to miss and fun to find.

bought it on sale and 100% it within 80 hrs
I'd give it a strong 7/light 8/10

>>715653935
Khazan filtered enough people with its third and seventh bosses that there’s too many schizos to have a proper thread.
It had been doing fine discussion wise for the first week or two.

>>715658080
Forgot to add, spells and blocks come from the same pool.
So if you want to be a mage, you want to get good at dodging, and if u prefer a melle/weapon based style, best to not add many points into spirit.

>>715656925
Why would Arrisa be into defending Jewish pedophiles

>>715658080
>after code vein
You poor fucker. Go play Sekiro if you really enjoyed the parrying.
Also give Nine Sols a try if you don't mind the game being 2D.

i became completely obsessed with this game
it's a 7/10
why are you faggots like this?

>>715658292
You mean why do we enjoy video games? Very simple: they're fun!

>>715658292
7/10 games are perfectly enjoyable. I wouldn't rate any Pokemon game higher than a 7.

>>715657582
Because most people mistake level design as the map layout like you are doing, but that is not what it is. It is everything that encompasses a level, from the map to the stats of the enemies in the area. Enemy placement, levels, visuals, lighting, roads, where the player is naturally drawn to, item drops, traps, etc are all important aspects of level design. DS1 discussion and the overhyping of it's "interconnectivity" killed the term it seems.

>>715658292
you can recognize that something may not be flawless but still appealed immensely to (You) personally
this is an important distinction when recommending things to others

>>715658275
Sekiro has been on my list, but i wanted a game to practice on m+kb first with. Planning on that next.
>>715658292
You can love something and not think its the best thing ever. It drew my attention away from everything else and all i wanted to do was play and beat the bosses.
But music sucked and plot was a mess, hence the light 8-high 7

>>715658469
Ds1 only has interconnectivity in the first half due to not letting you teleport. It became a cool design choice in hindsight.

>>715658292
the setting and visual design of the world are the main appeals for me, the rest of it is totally fine

>>715658292
Because this game reminded me of finding a random obscure gem no ones ever heard of during the PS2 days.

>>715653935
>and I don't even think people talk about stellar blade anymore.
Probably because every single thread about it gets spammed to death by a Polish retard.

I'm going to riot if the DLS/sequel doesn't has slutty bikinis for the characters. Barefoot preferred, but sandals (with high heels) are ok too.

>>715658826

To me one of things that makes AI limit so good is that you can easily tell this was made by someone that cares about the genre but had a cap on the budget. Some of the quest lines in the game are some of the strongest I’ve seen in the genre and this especially goes for Stone the Coffin Bearer. From the weird hostility he shows you right when you first meet him. To him giving you a coms device to call him when you see people “worshiping”. Him helping on the broken roadway was absolutely kino. Easily one of my favorite characters in the game along with Shirley. AI Limit doesn’t reinvent the wheel and some people might find it archaic because it’s slower than some of the more modern games in the genre but I easily loved it more than Code Vein, LoTF2, Steel Rising and few other titles. It hits a mid way between both types of souls likes but largely sticks to the DS1 playbook but with some of the bells and whistles of the later games.

Also finding the entrance to S.E.E.D was absolute cinema.

>>715658292
It’s a 7/10 game but it’s a really strong 7/10. IMO it’s not a 7/10 because the game is mediocre it’s a 7/10 because this game didn’t have the budget to allow for expand in way that would have pushed it higher.

>>715659358
This.

>>715658292
Actually it's an 8 or 9 out of 10.

Did a single person even have trouble with this fight?

>>715658826
I imagine as AAA keeps flopping and slopping we could enter an era like the PS1 or PS2 where we mostly play AA games from a wide variety of devs.

>>715659358
>To me one of things that makes AI limit so good is that you can easily tell this was made by someone that cares about the genre but had a cap on the budget.
Basically this, it's very true to miyazaki's vision. Reminder Miyazaki likes DS1 and bloodborne the most. Of course it meant lots of nu souls babbies getting filtered by this game's blighttown kino.

>>715659885
not with my tummy wife feylia helping

>>715657661
Anon i beaten DS3, its pretty linear dude.

>>715659885
Probably not. Her fight is one of the most fun in the game and she has the second best battle theme though.

>>715659885
The game saves your progress in this fight after the second phase, unlike other bosses. If not for that, Eunomia (+ Dike) is probably one of the more difficult fights.

>>715660109
rushed through my ng+2 run and was the first time i fought this boss without her.
Still completed first attempt (like the other two tries)

>>715660130
It's not, or at least not any more "linear" than any of their past games when it comes to the actual design of each area.

>>715659885
She somehow detached from her robot arms when phase 2 started and just rubberbanded around the arena while the arms beat the shit out of me

>>715660621
I didn't know that because I beat her first try

>>715659048
That rusted pipe is one of my favorite weapons. The skill has crazy knockback and can also parry.

>>715661832
Kind of sucks the holy ritual is a rather lame boring weapon but one of the best ones.

>>715624318 (OP)
>soulslike
I don't even see video games anymore. All I see is sweatslop, rollslop, weebslop, gimmickslop.

>>715659885
Final phase is trivially easy to revange parry. Just mash parry after getting punched and you'll get a parry on the next hit.

>>715640860
the entirety of dark souls 3 level design is just a bunch of corridors with a boss at the end of them

>>715662080
This is actually an arissalite mudslopvania

>>715657996
would actually work really well. i wonder if this game was popular enough in japan

>>715660621
The part with both of them is over in seconds if you have 16 or more spell power.

>>715624318 (OP)
Has anyone ever made a dungeon crawler game like Dark Souls but it leans way more into the RPG aspect and less so into the action?
Discover hidden secrets, levitate, brew potions, decipher runes, whatever but also hit the guy in the weak spot

>>715662423
Every boss is over in about a minute if you use EX Railgun. It's the great equaliser.

>>715624318 (OP)
This game is very good at scratching that "oh i've been here before" itch from earlier souls games
Out of the trio of non-From soulslikes I played (Khazan, Lies of P and AI Limit) I liked AI Limit the most in terms of level design desu

>>715624318 (OP)
I'm looking for more character-action turn-based games like Runescape and Nioh, is AI Limit like this?

>>715657872
>also should i do new game plus or do a new save?
ng+ enemies have more hp and damage but I cleared a good ways with unrefined weapons
its much easier to play around since you get to keep everything so i would recommend

>>715653935
I voted for this

[Sad news]
Esmoley has departed, and Loskid won't be coming.

>>715663225
I fucking hate you and wish you'd die.

>>715663256
[Sad news]

>>715663225
buckethead dlc when

>>715663225
But then who was bucket?

>>715663225
>i has a bukkit :D
she'd better be in the dlc

>>715663458
Beynea, the starseeker. The dawnfrost was her weapon.

>>715624318 (OP)
Why did she do it bros?
Why did she make a harem of autistic mudbots?

>>715663538
>>715663520

Maybe she was the original Arissa?

>>715663641
To save the world presumably

>>715663641
to be fair, wouldn't you?

>>715663771
That feels kinda like a cop out even thought it would work.

>>715624318 (OP)
Game was fun.
Didn't take itself too seriously.
Knew it's limits and tried to avoid them.
Also very fairly priced.
So yeah, easy winner in my book.

I want to tell Delpha about his mudbaby

>>715662773
I really like Khazan because I'm more interested in the combat and bosses from these type of games, but the levels in that were probably some of the most linear, with minimal side paths to explore.

>the Character.AI Arrisa bot's *eyes widen in horror* if i eat a ball of mud
Fix your bot.

>>715658292
Many such cases. Yakuza games are 7/10 but I love them

>>715659358
i wish the rest of steel rising had been as good as its designs

>>715664557
Can you tell the AI about AI limit or does it continue shitting itself

>>715664002
It's weird how you can't tell him that part about Shirley (even though Delpha very much cares about her despite not knowing he's the dad, since he asks you to give the flower to her).
Meanwhile Arrisa tells people stuff like "Otto is dead" and "Assis you aren't real" without hesitation.

>>715658292
I am playing Wild Hearts now. The game was clearly inspired by Monster Hunter. I don't like MH and I'm enjoying WH, even though it's repetitive and is nothing remarkable.

Why? Fuck me if I know.

>>715665295
maybe she's just too autistic to realize that would be an important thing to know

>>715665295
I think it would probably be because while it’s obvious to us as players, it’s not obvious enough for Arrisa to realize.

>>715665295
Does Arissa even know how babies are made?

>>715665295
>"Shirley, Delpha is your dad. Also I killed your mom."
It's uh, kind of an awkward subject.

>>715666003
Probably not.

>>715666003
babies are made?

>>715659885
I didn’t do it solo but I remember it still being kids tough. I think I lost once.

Arissa and Khazan walk into a bar

>>715667425
Isn't Khazan transgender now?

>>715667425
>A bar?

>>715667574
yea, khazan trooned out

>>715624318 (OP)
there's nothing inherently wrong with a linear game

>>715663641

>>715669570
holy kek

Post your weaponfu.
For me, it's Arbiter.

>>715658292
7/10 games are better than 9/10 games

>>715659885
I one shot her sister on accident...

>>715669423
>go out of your way to add female mc dlc
>dont make her pretty
why is nexon like this?

>>715670303
arbiter is probably everyone's favorite weapon
apart from that ursula's 2 katanas and the dawnfrost are pretty cool
I'm hoping for a DLC boss that dual wields the ice and fire blades like rellana

>>715670809
Dawnfrost reminds me of DS2's Blueflame. I really wish there were more ice things in AI Limit. Love the ice element.

>>715670303
wilted foliage has a cool animation

>>715667425
*eats mud*

>>715671068
we need more dragoons

>>715671186
is this reference to that horse racing gacha?

>>715671540
that image is from 2008

>>715672363
gaijin 4koma the eternal

>>715670303
I never really felt the need to switch once I got scrap lance. Incredible damage and scaling.
The running ability was good to rack up damage on staggered enemies and chase backhopping fuckers too.

>>715672363
You wouldn't an autistic robot

Now aceman is here too. All we need is shamiranon.

>>715655737
Based, I'd prefer a sequel really but still good to see the game got recognition and has something new coming.

Got bored of it, same ol bullshit

>>715662523
>Has anyone ever made a dungeon crawler game like Dark Souls but it leans way more into the RPG aspect and less so into the action?
Yeah, it is called Dark Souls 2.

>>715670503
It’s just reused assets from BBQ most likely.

>Shitty Code Vein with mandatory femMC
No thanks.

retard

>>715624318 (OP)
It's very exploration based. I missed like half the content on my first playthrough because I didn't scour every corner. I even missed the parry item and didn't realize it until I looked up a vid on how to beat the final level's bosses

>>715672540
Serrated halberd is better. Had lower damage but the weapon skill is incredible for any situation. Fast, wide, and staggers.

>>715674380
Idiot

>>715624318 (OP)
It's pretty much one of those poor man's souls clones like the Surge, but anime flavoured. Good for a single playthrough if you're a weeb looking for his next souls fix, but I'd go through better stuff like Lies of P and Stellar Blade before shifting through the bottom of the barrel.

>>715672363
Corrupted armor would have looked so good without that stupid head visor. I think there's a mod to remove it.

>>715675385
It's better than stellar blade

>>715672363
>fisherman tattoos
lewdest armor

>>715675383
it's unfair that we can't get her weapon or outfit or hair

>>715675383
its adorable how slow she runs

>>715675460
lol
