fromslopware and its consequences have been a disaster for the vidya industry

We are eating good

>>717149305 (OP)
I don't play goyslop

This sucked ass but I like the idea of third person shootan soles.
t. also really liked remenant 1 in solo because I'm a friendless fag, haven't played 2 yet

>>717149305 (OP)
Silent Hill f, Duskbloods, Hell is Us, Mortal Shell 2 ane Code Vein 2 looks good
Don't care about Nioh open world slop

>*savesyouractiongames

how is it that fromtrannies never get tired of the exact same mindless gameplay since 2009

I'd say it's autism but most of them are normalfags so it can't even be that

>upcoming
I haven't really been paying much attention to any of them.

I will say though that Titan Quest 2 dropped 2 days ago (in Early Access).
I'm currently playing the Last Hero of Nostalgaia. It's pretty charming so far. (middle of 2nd area)

How's Titty Quest 2 a soulslike

>>717151368
Just look at how Titan Quest 2 thread is already full of retards crying about having to dodge very telegraphed attacks instead of simply spamming eyerape explosions

It's not.
I'm just telling OP, since he probably didn't realize.

Opinion discarded.

You faggots are so delusional
Suddenly every ARPG known to man has a default dodge skill for every character and enemies that have limited turn rate on attacks and slower projectiles that can be avoided, but sure I bet Soulslikes have nothing to do with TQ2 being essentially PoE2 in Greece

Nioh 3 released the changes they're going to make from the first demo for anyone that cares

So you can now burst break without shifting by default?
Good, this gay obsession Team Ninja has for gay shifts and swaps after counters needs to be studied

Hell Is Us is my most awaited game this year. And it's not even for the soulslike aspect. I'm worried investigation and puzzles will be too simple but it's such a cool promise.

Loving Wuchang a lot. Level design is excellent.

Overture had excellent bosses but level design was underwhelming.

Wuchang and Lies Of P teams come really close to that Dark Souls level quality. Really glad they're reaching that kind of level now with more focused semi-linear design, I have no interest in Nightreign and Duskblood or more open world or multiplayer focused fromsoft.

>Overture had excellent bosses but level design was underwhelming.
Why?

>the pvp community
it needs to be cleansed

Nioh isn't a souls like we've been over this.

>>717153702
Very linear and formulaic. Very little bonfire tension, predictable shortcuts, lack of verticality, traversal hazards to overcome, unique sort of obstacles and problem solving. It's pretty short and it took them 2 years and only half of it feels like they put real effort. The zoo and frozen ships have a lot of cool level moments and new enemies used in surprising ways but then levels like the mine/caves and the final mansion are just completely generic and uninspired flat corridors, and just recycling base game enemies with boring predictable placement. Base game had better level design overall and also more consistent theming, the DLC felt pretty goofy. But the bosses are fantastic.

By contrast in Wuchang and it's this frequent feeling of feeling lost, getting overwhelmed by too many branching paths, getting rekt by or outsmarting traps, wondering when the next bonfire relief will be and shortcuts feeling meaningful, it's such a delightful map to explore.

So is MS2 supposed to be an actual soulslike? The first game didn't feel like one in the slightest.

>>717149305 (OP)
My favorite soulslikes are the ones that deviate the most from the Souls formula. So Nioh, Remnant, Blasphemous. Things like that.

>>717154835
Pretty much all of that applies to the base game, too. It's a lot of beautiful set dressing and the atmosphere is great but you're never really truly observing the environments because there aren't any tricks or traps.
Until you get flattened by some bullshit because the devs thought it would be REALLY funny to have one trap in 20 hours of gameplay.

>>717149305 (OP)
Phantom blade is getting so much hype, I must be the only one that am not impressed by what I saw. It doesn't look bad, mind you... just nothing special. I wouldn't get it for more than a half off sale, I'll leave it at that.

Khazan is my GOTY everyone should play it

>>717150368
2 is fucking great.

>>717150368
Remnant 2 is an amazing improvement on a lot of the ideas Gunfire had with Remnant 1. I will say though that a lot of the secrets can range from easy to intuit to you'll need a guide to even fathom how the fuck to get certain items.

>>717151305
Normalfags only started to jump the train since after DS3 and during ER then quit. They're the ones shitting on it for being boring and hating on Demon's and the games previous to DS3.

>>717156770
The final class is a complete bs troll to get lmao. The second dlc class is also fucking stupid to get

I hate the Chinese/Japanese ones since I had enough of that setting since Dynasty Warriors days.

>>717156907
Archon is my favorite of the classes. A lot of potential with mod/skill builds with it and the armor set is cool too. But yes, the steps needed to get it are stupidly difficult to guess, and the community needed like a month before some data miners discovered it.

>>717149305 (OP)
Nioh 3, that's literally it. The rest looks like dogshit.

>>Silent Hill f
>>Titan Quest 2
Are you retarded

>>717159091
>>>Silent Hill f
>>>Titan Quest 2
Did you play them?

>>717159138
TQ2 yes. OP must be braindead or is new to gaming

>>717157007
Fair, but at least Nioh/Zhou/Wuchang try to do something more stylish or fantastical with it instead of the same Three Kingdoms crap every damn time. I'm tired of violent jade scenery too but if you're gonna do it, make it weird and cursed. Give me haunted kimonos, flying oni, cursed umbrellas shooting lasers - not another musou battlefield with Lu Bu screaming in Mandarin.
