Thread 718665956

LoTF is already objectively good. Lords of the Fallen 2 just needs to add to it by:-

>increasing the enemy variety
>expand shields abilities by allowing you to bash/ram etc with them
>add weapon skills, be they fixed or transferable like in ER
>add a few animation sets for each weapon catagory instead of just having 1 thats used by all weapons within it
>add weapon infusions so you can change which stats they scale with & what kind of damage they do
>change the lamp mechanic, it's only interesting during the first blind playthrough. Beyond that it's just an annoying gimmick that adds nothing positive to the gameplay experience.

That's it. After all the updates its in a great place and just needs changes like these to fully polish the experience.

>me too! Souls game
No

>>718666218
I've replayed it more than ER because is ER is so long. Also it has so many kino drip & weapon options for STR+FTH chads, the devs didn't even try and hide their pro bias towards the paladan theme.

OP, the time for you too kill yourself is upon us. Now go! Fulfill your destiny. Perhaps do a flip!

Does it really have good level design or not?
Test: Does Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3 have good level design, Yes or No?

>>718665956 (OP)
this game has the most retarded devs in the industry they nerfed:
>mob density
>the entirety of the umbral realm who by the way is supoosed to be an unforgiving place full of monsters
>the entirety of bosses because the shitters on goypass couldn't handle them
>made invasions optional and turned off by default because console peasants were scared of the big red man
and they have the audacity to say that they understands how a souls game works

>>718668148
Define "Good level design"

>>718668148
LOTF doesn't have level design like either of those, it's more like a bigger DaS1 with an interconnected loop and some offshoots. From the central hub you can look out and see lots of places you'll eventually reach, it's neat.

>>718665956 (OP)
I'm playing this with my gf atm. I prefer it to Elden Ring.

>LOTF doesn't have level design like either of those, it's more like a bigger DaS1 with an interconnected loop and some offshoots.
Hmmmm that good...good.
The problem is, i just dont quite believe it. DS1 level design is already so rare, not just in broader gaming but even within fromsoft itself, its why I consider DS1 a complete fluke because besides Bloodborne theyve never come close to replicating it. Not even close.

But its atleast reassuring that Ive heard multiple people say this, so Ill keep doing research, asking more people, hoping they get more specific or that this game gains some sort of resurgence, that makes people praise it indepth appreciating level design.

>>718668148
Yes in that it's a well interconnected singular map.
No in that the map is shit, has nothing interesting in it outside of baits for shitty lamp mode nobody asked for, and is pelleted full of shovelware enemies that consistently respawn so you can't even enjoy the parts that are visually enjoyable inside the lamp anyway.

Like everything this team does; good idea, terrible execution.
See the art direction:
"Let's go even DARKER than DARK SOULS!"
Why not? Edgy souls is a good idea. Except, they forgot to make the world behave in line with the increase of edginess.
So everything behaves like dull, melancholic Dark Souls business, but also SPIKES AND BLOOD AND MORE BLOOD AND LAVA AND LOOK AT HOW TERRIBLE THIS WORLD IS BECAUSE TORTURED FACES EVERYWHERE, which makes it feel dumb.

>>718669586
Every wall has to be a screaming face or a soul-anus and every enemy has to come wrapped in Silent Hill props did get old quick. Clear case of trying too hard.

>>718668148
Lords of the Fallen is like a parody of what people think Dark Souls 1 level/world design is like.

>>718670050
>>718669586
These.

I was very disappointed to see the Lamp in the trailer. I think the Umbral stuff can be improved a lot but I would have preferred had they just removed it altogether. Never liked dual world mechanics.

>>718668148
better than DS2 or DS3 or anything made by fromsoft after DS1 really

>>718670514
Haha but also no, not at all, no matter how much of a bitter contrarianfag you want to be.

>>718665956 (OP)
It's epic, idk if it will trump lotf 1
>>718666218
Best souls game in terms of gameplay, hate all you want.

>>718672295
I too wished Souls gameplay included more ice skating ballerina moves.

>>718665956 (OP)
Why play these janky ass knockoff when you can just play the real thing?

>>718665956 (OP)
>bad game

>>718672654
ER is so long it's such a commitment for any normal working person. LoTF is about the same length as DaS3 which is a lot more digestible.

Also the LoTF greathammers & greatswords feel so satisfying compared to FROMs games, they feel a lot more impactful and as a big bonk enjoyer this appeals to me.

I found it annoying in the tutorial first play through

It's a good game, ds2 fans are just too angry

Get another hobby and stop ruining ours

Next LotF is in 10 years when they need to renew the trademark.

>>718674590
we were here first. our hobby. neet zoomie permavirgins don't get a say.

Everyone says 2.0 improved the combat but I've yet to see anyone post any clips proving this.

>>718674590
As a man with a family working full time, I agree with you. Gaming is my main hobby and I'm fucking TIRED of people who only casually play games trying to dictate things about it to us.

>change the lamp mechanic,
Now I might give it another go. I tried this during the first year it came out and the dual world mechanic was so annoying it made me drop the game. I remember loving how you are able and even expected to be strong in both melee and range combat. I remember the melee combat being the strongest with the most complex options of all Souls-likes besides Nioh.

>>718665956 (OP)
I think I have the 2014 version.
