Thread 717562092

Is this actually good? Just got to the hotel. The design and setting are cool but it feels kinda janky.

>>717562092 (OP)
you're already playing the game so why not just form your own opinion? dumb tranny

You've already experienced everything there is to it. The rest of the game is walking in more straight lines to get to more bosses.

It's bloodborne for women but yeah it's probably pretty good.

>>717562092 (OP)
it is kinda janky sometimes but yes it is actually good

and I say this as someone who thinks Worst Korea has never made a good video game (except for this)

>>717562092 (OP)
Don't bother.

>>717562092 (OP)
It is indeed a janky poorly designed mess, but as usual fromdrones took the bait because of the slick presentation and satisfying hits/parries

>>717562092 (OP)
If you don't like it already, then I would suggest you just stop playing it.

>>717562092 (OP)
It's a very solid 7/10 jankfest

>>717562092 (OP)
half the playerbase dropped it at a certain boss with an undodgeable, unblockable rage attack
the reward for killing that boss is being able to dodge rage attacks
the remaining half of the playerbase are troons, gays and people with buyer's remorse. Doesn't come close in any sense to fromsoft design, takes all the bad parts of souls games and shoves it into every corner of the game

It'll get better as you progress.
The start definitely has some jank moments and a lack of choice in build progression what with no weapons, amulets, etc.

>>717565034
I can't even think of which boss you mean, they all have unblockable undodgeable rage attacks. And the game has a pretty damn high completion percentage for a souls-like.

>>717565034
learn spacing, i know fromdrones are dependent on iframes but come on now

It's less janky and more tightly designed than elden ring, which bugged out for me on multiple occasions

>>717565101
You should've known instantly that he was shitposting because there's ZERO unblockable undodgeable attacks, the only possible Amulet he could be talking about is Dancing One's (from Parade Master) and Parade has no attacks even close to that description... and then he immediately started frothing at the mouth and whining about boogeymen.
You failed, Anon.

>>717565236
I like to fight bosses not run away like a bitch
should have expected better from twink souls

>>717565281
>Showing off a DLC weapon vs. the 2nd boss of the game
Lad.

>>717565315
I mean I knew he was talking about the fury attacks, those can't be blocked or iframed (which I also assume is what he meant by "dodged"). But I didn't even consider the possibility he meant the green fuck, why would you take the amulet over the meme katana

>>717565365
that clip would look near identical if I was using a pipe wrench

>>717565365
It's a really fuckin cool weapon

>>717565469
Yeah.. It really is.
You know what, nevermind. You're right.

>>717565365
The nature of the game involves replaying it a couple times, so that's not so weird
Also doing very little damage

>>717565281
Gunblade is best weapon in soulslikes, fight me

>>717565034
There's no such thing as a unblockable rage attack especially not the Green swamp monster.

You must just suck at parrying and dodging

>>717565431
the green monster boss has a 49% clear rate
half the people dropped the game because it stopped being a good game and just a boss spams fury attacks so run away game

>>717565236
You can't get away from bosses in this game. They can close any gap in two frames. Even the slow moving giant bosses can instantly leap halfway across the arena.

>>717562092 (OP)
It has the best combat of any souls game and everything else is at least pretty good

>>717565645
>just hit a perfect parry anytime the boss decides to spaz out and spam fury attacks

>>717565616
At the later NG+ the game expects you to parry everything (except for your perfect dodges for the damage buff) to build Fable and then shit out the damage

>>717565646
Just learn to parry.

>>717565431
...Wha-
>
OH, I forgot that Amulet existed at all, lmao.
Swamp Thing is an even weirder boss to complain about, given only 1 attack has questionable block timing and only 1 is cheap (Aoe yell puke which applies a bunch of decay, also not a Fury attack).

>>717565650
All red attacks have clear tells and can be avoided. i suck at parrying and still beat the game

>One Anon is playing 3 or 4 for fools again
Step 1: Stop replying.

>>717565646
What clear rate does the previous boss monster have? Because the drop is what's significant

>>717565894
Assuming he's using Steam as the core metric (we don't really have much else lol), Victor at 52.6% versus Green at 49.8%.
Which means only about 5% of people who beat Victor didn't finish junkyard swamp.

>>717565764
not a dex fag, if I wanted to be a dex fag I'd play with the gay shield and use a pointy needledick sword
also, if you only have 1 solution to a mechanic you've made a bad rpg, oh wait the other faggot sad to run away, already said I'm not a dex fag so it wouldnt apply

>>717565719
If you suck, there is a variety of different options for negating the difficulty of dealing with red attacks
There are grindstones, fable arts that drastically widen the window, you can simply run away, you can equip the dodge talisman, a lot of them can simply be strafed.

>>717566010
I dont need your tutorials, I already killed the big faggot with my superior motivity build without abusing cheesy parry mechanics
Just pointing out the retardation in obviously designing a boss that spams a fury charge attack the second you enter the fight and the irony of the reward being able to dodge fury attacks. It's the opposite of game design. I don't need the trinket after I beat the faggot already stupid gooks

>>717562092 (OP)
It's mediocre. I'm playing it now, up to chapter 8. The combat is fine, there's just a terminal lack of weapon and enemy variety so I'm getting kinda bored. The linear progression is also pretty lame, and no armor fashion sucks.

>>717565281
>we have demon prince at home

>>717565650
I'm more offended by grab attacks in souls games than I am of any unblockable attack with a huge windup.
Grab attacks are so fucking lame. Oh sure let me just watch a fifteen second cutscene because I thought your autistic rage was an opening. My fucking bad.

>>717565646
The game itself has a 37% clear rate

For comparison
>Lords of the Fallen: 17%
>Elden Ring: 28% for the most popular ending (36% for Malenia if you want a more "concrete" example for "they have completed the most challenging thing this game has to offer)
>Dark Souls 3: 26% for ending, 36% for Nameless King
>Wuchingchong: 18%
>Dark Souls Remastered: 30%
>Sekiro: 31%
>Nioh 2: 31% for main game, 19% for the DLC
So there you go, Lies of Pingus actually has just about the highest clear rate for ANY relatively popular game in the genre.
>>717565857
I just like looking up data like this sometimes

>>717566087
are you talking about his charge attack? That he both winds up for and barrels across the entire room for 10 seconds doing?

>>717566114
>and no armor fashion sucks
>chapter 8
There's a fair few, but definitely not a ton.
Up to that point, you should have.. like 12.

>>717566114
>terminal lack of weapon variety
>can mix and match normal weapons together
>boss weapons are some of the most unique in the genre

>>717566254
>37%
42.4%. The last boss is optional and some people are stupid enough to choose the wrong ending. True final is equivalent to like Nameless King.

>>717565770
I found out you can interrupt his puke with the katana's meme twirl, it's hilarious

>>717566114
the game has a better weapon variety than any soulslike kys

>>717562092 (OP)
It became my favorite souls like. Once I got the hang of it I became addicted and couldn't stop playing. It is the first souls I ran through NG+ multiple times.
But FUCK ME some bosses and enemies are just straight bullshit made to be as annoying as possible. Fucking gooks.
I'd put it in the same league as Bloodborne and slightly lower than DS1 storywise. So yeah, pretty good.

>>717565983
Just parry with your high motivity puppet greataxe or whatever, then.
>>717565975
Some of these might have given up because of the cannons too, or the big cymbal ape child puppet.

>>717566409
And yet the Saw Cleaver and HMS reign supreme.
Ironic...Perchance.

>>717566254
buyer's remorse, souls games are actually designed to be challenging but fair once you learn thus the low clear rates, lies of p just plays cheap tricks but is not a hard game overall. Or are we saying the cathedral level with 5 fat hogs throwing shit at you while you walk along toothpicks and aggro 5 more sprinters is intelligent design?

+better, more coherent story
+more fleshed out combat
+incredible variety of weapons
-pretty linear
-the translations are inaccurate in spots
-makes you want to fuck a twink puppet

>>717565719
Nigga if he's not glowing red its not a furry attack. What fucking fury attack are you having problems dodging/blocking?

The fucking charge attack? The jump?

>>717566537
what an insane level cope, incredible

>>717566349
>>717566409
The handle is the only thing that changes the core moveset, and there's been like 5 that I can actually use in my build. The game has horrible weapon variety, and they're barely more complex than the average fromslop weapons.

>>717566087
You can out space the charge attack

>>717566478
Lies of P gunblade clears

>>717566597
lies of p is a wannabe bastard child of sekiro and bloodborne and achieves the tier of neither
the one good mechanic of the game is weapon crafting
everything else is jank that doesnt come close to any fromsoft souls

>>717566648
Fair.
It's the only reason I'm considering getting the DLC right now. Not enough games with gunblades and/or engage/disengage gameplay.

>>717566638
you can run like a bitch from it is what you mean, not my playstyle bitch. still killed that retard

>>717566537
You can legit not damage that section with slowing down just fucking dodge properly they dont even get simultaneously aggressive

>>717566690
it is at the end of the game so you better really like it

>>717566690
there's a lot of cool weapons in the DLC, and content itself is pretty neat too

>>717566723
noticing a pattern of people playing this game is just run away, just hide behind a perfect block, just use cheesy consumable items to win.
lmao, expect nothing less from twink souls fans

>>717566624
The blade dictates fable arts, range and speed which all effect moveset thoughbeit
Only having 5 handles is a skill issue

>>717566735
Fug.

>>717566747
Waiting for a sale because I am cheap as fuck. Any good Advance weapons?

>>717566716
Then you're just playing the game badly. Not being able to tank things is part of the game, might as well complain that you can't tank things in Nioh until you get overpowered enough that it's easier to just build a cheese build.

>>717566762
I mean if you're just bas at game just admit it. You sound like the guys who say fighting game suck instead of just admitting you suck at fighting games.

>>717566774
Who cares, it's the exact same weapon but slightly longer/faster whatever. Half the handles feel like dogshit too, like the police baton.
>just overlevel and spread your points across every stat to use every weapon
Yawn

>>717566786
there's a sword that shoots lightning and a giant welding torch that acts as a flamethrower

>>717566937
>literally one of the best handles in the game
>bonks for the bonk god
>feels like dogshit
oh I get it, you just have no taste

>>717566879
how am I bad if I beat your "just perfect parry him or run away" boss with my unga bunga build? I'm so good at the game I don't need your cheese to win. Just pure skill and a smasher.

>>717566825
>Not being able to tank things is part of the game
why? then it's a bad rpg and soulslike if you're limited in choice and build style

>>717567002
>literally one of the best handles in the game
I knew some contrarian faggot was going to come in and say that as soon as I posted it. No, the meme baton feels like shit.

>>717567057
Soulslikes don't have to allow tank builds. Nioh is best in genre and tank builds are reserved for people who are multiple NG+ cycle in

>>717567158
you can easily make an NG blocking tank build in Nioh, though.

>>717567158
And oh boy are they fun.
Nothing quite like face-tanking the final DLC boss in the final floor on the Depths and submerging it in status effects.

>>717567009
You can get through things while being a shitter its an objective lie of every souls game that you have to actually learn to play them. Even in Sekiro you can cheese most bosses until you get the mortal blade and then you can just mortal blade your problems away

>>717567192
Not on a fresh file unless you're going for a more lose "I'm tanking but only cause I dont want to learn the harder dodge patterns" but I meant more of the "Come face my Girth" tank build

Endurace is absolutely broken I don't know what you people are talking about

>>717562092 (OP)
It's one of the best games ever made.

>>717565281
>Pale Knight is the tightest shit
>Monad Sword is also the tightest shit
how the fuck did they do it

>>717567589
Me? Love the claws

>>717567589
I struggle to think of a unique weapon that isn't at least dedicating a run to
It kind of mogs the whole weapon making system I don't know why they went so hard

>>717567848
worth dedicating*

>>717562092 (OP)
It's ok. I thought things got pretty stale after the Opera House and eventually completely lost interest in exploration and was just running from boss to boss. As an exploration/adventure enjoyer it just really wasn't for me, very linear game.

>>717568028
>As an exploration/adventure enjoyer
Me too. What games do you enjoy for that sort of thing?

>>717565281
Just because it has a lot of corridors doesn't mean it's tightly designed

>>717562092 (OP)
>feels kinda janky.

Its gameplay is objectively more refined than any From game. If there's anything it does better, it's that.

>>717568119
Not him but Wuchang has great level design

>>717568119
I actually really enjoyed a game called Natsu-mon: 20th Century Summer Kid recently for the adventure and exploration. Haven't played an action adventure game recently that I'd recommend for that.

>>717568119
There is none in the modern market. All ""exploration"" combat games today are just openworld slop with minimaps, fast travel, Ubisoft towers, etc. And the world design is 99% of the time just open fields.

>>717568147
no, you not being able to comet azure the boss as it spawns makes it tightly designed

>>717562092 (OP)
Imho, the worst Soulslike I've ever played.
>boring, ultra-linear levels
>boring-looking weapons
>combat is not fluid and feels pretty janky
>no sense of adventure

My first and only case of buyer’s remorse when it comes to Souls and Soulslike games. Dropped it during Rosa Isabelle Street.
If you want a good non-From Soulslike game, go play AI Limit.

>>717562092 (OP)
is the dlc good? gonna do ng+ for the other ending anyway

>>717568970
Overture is Old Hunters level. Best bosses, weapons and lore in the game

>>717562092 (OP)
It has sexy girls

>>717562092 (OP)
Shit is boring, linear soulsclone. Should've just make a normal action game instead of copy paste everything from Fromsoft
