Thread 719679417

This game is amazing and refreshing. Sleeper cult gem GOTY if you don't have ADHD and low IQ (so will filter 99% of this board)

it is NOT a soulslike

but rollslop is ADHDslop because it's fast paced rhythmslop

no thanks, i heard there are like 5 enemy varieties in total

Silksong is the definite buy for this week and i'm torn between this one and Cronos.

HiU is more up-my-alley + i really liked the demo, plus i'm very selective about anything survival horror but if Cronos is the game that Callisto Protocol should've been, then that might take priority. i need more Dead Space type shit in my life.

>>719679417 (OP)
I was watching the trailer and it looks super bland in design and art direction
Maybe the gameplay is better? idk but the overall appeal looks super unimaginative and lame, specially the enemies that are either humanoid cumshots or distorted colorful clouds

>>719679962
>super bland in design and art direction

>>719679417 (OP)
it needs quest markers

there's nothing fun about exploring a swamp. lets hope mods will fix it

>>719680927
yeah im not feeling it, even with those concept art images, the appearance is still rather bland, maybe because we have been bombarded with those kind of aesthetics in many other games lately, that it doesnt feel relevant anymore, but more like a copy of a copy of a copy

I'm glad this game is filtering brainlets and/or zoomers with AAA brainrot.

>>719679417 (OP)
What would you say the minimum IQ threshold is for this game, OP? 116 IQ borderline-midwit here. This is a serious question. There are numerous games and even entire genres I'm simply too stupid to play.

It's alright. I'm about 7 hours in and just beat Act 1. Combat is a complete joke and feels like they just added it in so the game wouldn't just be exploring to find stuff and puzzle solving. It was kind of funny since I got to an area that was perfect for a boss fight and all it had was a slightly stronger generic foe. You also cannot completely clear areas when you first get to them and solutions for certain things may be tied to completely different areas.
I'm enjoying it even if it feels like some times I'm just stumbling around to track down side objective stuff.

>>719679756
You should not purchase any of them until at least one week passes.
By then it should be slightly more evident which games are worth your time.
Let the excitement wear off a little, it fogs your ability to make objective judgements.

>silksong
you're clearly talking to a redditor, there is no logic with them, no common sense. it will is not worth giving advice to. it will do whatever its r/sub tells it.

I legit have no idea if these Hell Is Us threads are;
a) Corpo-shills using some super advanced meme-irony marketing.
b) People actually excited for the game.
c) Total schizos just looking for a troll.
Either way, my 2cents is that it just doesn't have a great aesthetic. Starting with the name, it just doesn't hold my imagination. "Hell Is Us"? It's like a 12 year olds first attempt at a metal concept album. The enemies don't look cool, or threatening, or really like anything but Plasticine mannequins someone partially melted and stretched. The glowy force weapons look silly and out of place, like something from a much more scifi game than this.

>>719684621
>gkikeshills shilling another boring tryhard fps

>>719685518
The answer is A and a little bit of C, but mostly A. I wouldn't let OP or the posts sucking off the game fool you into thinking it's "filtering" anyone because that's the entire gimmick behind this game's marketing of it not having quest markers n' such. The majority of /v/ doesn't know or care about this game and every thread dies at < 100 posts.

>spent 6 hours running around fighting only basic enemies
>get to the flower field and its dungeon
>clear it and reach the game's first actual "boss"
>mfw it's just another basic enemy but with more of the flying adds
Lost all interest then.

It's a shame because the game looks nice and has some interesting mechanics, but there's no way I'm putting myself through the slog of such terribly designed combat options.

combat is bad to serviceable and the shitty dark souls fall-to-platform sections are awful but otherwise i've liked it so far

Wait that's coming out this month?

>>719687935
The protagonist is quite literally referred to as a high functioning psychopath. It was a practical choice because her weapons worked on the monsters.

>>719679417 (OP)
>bro what if we put stalker and rollslop together
Yuck

>>719688071
the clothes also worked on the monsters?

>>719685518
its obviously shills, the way they type is too obvious, also, for all the unimaginative things they put on this game, they sure must have spent a penny on getting those graphics either way, so they are obviously trying to shill it hard here

everyone complains about the rollslop soulslop combat mechanics, but what else can be done to make fighting in these games interesting? genuinely asking

>>719688625
I personally liked the combat in Ryse: son of Rome (even if it got a bit repetitive after a while, I guess it needed more combos and special moves)
Hell, even the combat of Arkham games that gets memed to death about being "press one button to win" is still more interesting than the rollslop soulslike games spammed

>>719688625
Good question. I think fundamentally the RollSouls combat is interesting/fun, but I think they've taken a miss-step in their later games. They're leaning more towards Character Action (DMC, Ninja Gaiden) than their slower and more methodical roots. But with some small changes I think they could bring back what people enjoyed about Dark Souls. And there's no reason they can't go on to make something faster like Devil May Cry, just don't call it DarkEldenBloodSouls.
>Remove flashy weapon arts. Keep the more practical ones (things like Upward Cut, or Giant's Hunt for example can stay).
>Make Rolling cost more Stamina, with a penalty for repeated rolls (+15-30% cost per roll after the first), and put it on a double button press. Pressing Dodge once is a quickstep based on direction of joystick, costs less stamina, but you get no i-frames.
>Bring back Adaptability so Dodging is something you need to improve with investment.
These changes would encourage positioning and planning over spamming and rolling, and I feel would add more depth to the combat over all.

>>719682771
>I'm about 7 hours in and just beat Act 1
what the fuck are you literally sprinting through everything? God damn slow down for a minute

>>719688625
they should obviously make combat like in fighting games, where every hit you can make is a different key

when they inevitably patch in the ability to fast travel between save points i think this is a pretty solid 8/10. wouldn't recommend it until then though. just awful trying to test out puzzle solutions or see if certain characters care about certain things when it means having to just hold W for ~3 minutes

>>719688625
I legit find combat in this game interesting BECAUSE it's not rollslop. The game rhythm feels completely different.
Yes it suffers from enemy variety but the combat design itself is a fairly unique take on formula.

It's WAY MORE focused on crowd control. Because it loves to spam those white walkers AND the linked enemies are inherently about controlling two (or more) different entities. And unlike souls, you also don't have free ranged attacks and easy ways to aggro separate and funnel enemies one by one because they keep clustering together. You get one drone distraction so you have to choose and prioritize which enemy to distract first, but even that tool is only a minor help when you start facing groups where one shape is linked to multiple whites and some of them throw projectiles at you. THOSE FUCKING SHAPES feel way more chaotic than usual humanoids and are a pain in the ass to read. Which is GOOD. At least I feel like I have to learn and adapt.

Stamina management is also WAY MORE conscious and potentially challenging because it's tied to HP. And there is a punishing exhaustion penalty if you drain it.

And what ties it all together is the healing pulse obviously. Which is a cool gameplay mechanic based on timing, but unlike parrying it's active. Also comes with its own risk-reward trade-offs. Because the longer you keep hitting, the more hp it gains back but that increases danger. You also don't have estus refill to rely on, meaning the only reliable way to heal is not to back off and skip an attack opportunity turn, but to be aggressive. It's an aggression incentive. And obviously, being required to be aggressive when you are low hp and therefore low stamina, is tricky in itself. Those moments of TENSION being low hp are something I really appreciate here, it's different from souls formula and it makes the game more horror-flavored.

Not perfect but what a cool game, fun, thoughtful, trying different things. I don't get that mindless backlash.

>>719690047
new ip scares the tard

How's the PC optimization.

I torrented it cause unsure plus silksong soon, it's pretty neat: like ww2 war theme + supernatural stuff from control + puzzles + investigating stuff, combat is pretty smooth for a soulslike

but i'd say it's only "soulslike" in terms of combat, the rest is very much exploring like an RE game or whatever.

>>719685518
I downloaded it off 1337x. The ww2 + paranormal aesthetic is pretty neat. also I like how there is puzzle solving that isnt retarded and requires you to use your brain a bit. it's kinda like control but outdoors + war between various factions (so far, i'm only in the first map or two).

>>719688275
it isn't even rollslop, you can block and hit stuff and regen off hits, then there are diff abilities for you + the drone. for "soulslike" combat it's pretty smooth, better than most wannabe souls games

>>719679417 (OP)
Which weapon should I use sword, axe, halberd or greatsword?

>some mediocre, generic piece of shit drops
>random fags on /v/ start sucking it off as their "GOTY"
Meh.
>>719683248
Wow, they're not paying you much at all, huh?

>>719693545
I like the axes
polearm seem as good
sword is boring
greatsword is strong but slow

>>719693590
this, i cant believe a gacha or eceleb thread died for this

>>719693613
Then I'll go poleward then since I'm not an axe guy.

it's pretty neat, you got trenches and tanks and alien stuff moving around for some reason that has yet to be explained.

like 2-3 zones in and idk what the ghost guys are yet, I guess thats a major plot point later.

environments are cool, warzones to scenic stuff

i'm tired of soulslop

Lmao the shills are so low energy
Says a lot.
Now post the main character's zoomer haircut.

>>719693992
it isnt a souls game, only the combat has some similarities, you have a dodge, melee, but you also have abilities and a parry.

>>719679417 (OP)
Is it interesting?

>>719694071
theres a conflict going on with some factions and also alien things, and there are a lot of documents you can collect like in control, and you can ask diff npcs stuff to progress various quests

I like it, control + RE type of game with some souls-like combat mechanics

>>719694071
Yes, I like the strange and mysterious atmosphere

you know what's funny, it's like death stranding but if it was actually an interesting or good game, and not just delivering pizzas over hills.

>>719694057
well i'm watching a streamer play and the protagonist is talking to.... his mom.... woah
10 minutes and no combat yet for me to judge

>>719694318
the game starts with you in some facility being interrogated but we dont know when/where. presumably after the plot, but who knows.

you talk to lots of diff people, and there are a bunch of optional sidequests/npcs to talk to. combat is pretty smooth, instead of rolling for everything you can block or parry, and there is also an ability to regen health but only after getting some hits in.

>heh our game doesnt have a map CHUDS
>oh but it does have combat sliders so you can make the enemies do no damage
waow...

>>719693970
what do you call this phenomenon

>it's not a soulslike because you parry instead of rolling hyuck hyuck hyuck
Low effort shilling.

>>719694513
"chuds" are the greasy gamer type aka normal men that females are attracted to. the word you're looking for as a gotcha is "trannies" because their brain is so fried that they couldn't game for shit so they chopped off their willy for no goddamn reason.
also the game is too easy even with max modifiers, so it's not really a chudcore game.

>>719694516

shit it feels like a soulslike to me , even if it's soulslite. Same feeling combat, same piecing together of npc quests . The healing pulse thing was annoying to get into , now i just look at the health bar which seems way easier.

its interesting cause it isnt clear why these people are at war or why there are alien creatures roaming around, it's not generic souls + anor londo clone game #2138283.

>>719696427
it's interesting so far, and there are more puzzles and exploring than anything so far, all the stuff you collect is like the articles you find in control, something is going on but it isn't 100% clear, yet.

it's interesting enough to torrent and play before silksong, that much I know.

>>719696437
You are right, but this game is also garbage so... eh.

>>719696502
also, the game not having a retard GO HERE marker is a nice change of pace compared to other games. you have to figure stuff out yourself.

you can't discuss anything on nu-/v/

>>719688625
People like you are the reason we can't have nice things anymore. I can't blame it on your age ether. I know personally a guy who old enough and he played other games before dark souls came out, but it just like he memoryholes it. New armored core copies soulslop? What else could they do? New Silent Hill does it? How could they make a combat any other way? Onimusha too? Those faggots genuinely forget other games existence and act like copying dark souls is the only way to make a game.

>>719685518
I did a weird thing and ''pre ordered'' the game because I played the demo and it ticked some boxes that I liked like the character design and the EE-centric environments, specifically mixing modern timeline with historic backgrounds. But now that I play it, I don't like a bunch of stuff.

LITERALLY NOBODY cares about this game, nor on Steam., no reddit, nor twatch and yet you are here, making threads every day GEEZ I WONDER WHY

>>719697817
I dont watch ecelebs I just pirated it

Is there a trick to consistently hitting the healing pulse? It seems like the timing is different for every swing of your combo and like you need to do it at the start of an attack, so in order to get the healing from 3 hits you need to start a 4th attack

What's with the giant goofy anime swords in a grounded western setting?

You can tell what posts are shill/botted just by the way they type them out. Way too generic and trying way too hard to push how much the game requires you to 'think'

It's a 7 for me so far but I hate how stamina is tied to health. That's just shit design.

Strange that you have yet to post a single screenshot or video of your time enjoying the game.

It's actually kinda shith8t4n

>>719699229
This game easily could've had an FPV function to go look at things. Instead it makes you do dumb shit with the Photo Mode if you want to zoom in on something, like I had the urge to after the first cutscene encounter with a Haze enemy - where some chick saves the main character and then she dies in the process. I guess it's fine that it offers that mode as an option, but it's the small things that matter in the overal product and it falls short of more than a handful.

its that most games never bother to create a good combat system at all

I'm using compass like a big boy instead of following quest marker, I can feel my IQ increasing

>>719698650
That's a thing? I'm making this game piss easy then, not a chance I'm spending so much time on such a shitty combat

someone needs to import dragons dogma 2 monsters and the combat into this game and it will be good. a simple job.

>>719704702
The first pills you find are for the woman in the refugee camp from what i remember. Wonder what happens if you don't give it to her.

>>719702904
On max sliders the game can be pretty brutal when there's a giant katamari of enemies attacking you. But the game also gives absolutely ridiculous tools to you. The quickstep drone module allows you to safely disengage no matter what, i combo it with rage ability to pull enemies to separate them safely.

Prey would have been a lot better if it had more than 6 enemy types.

>>719715090
It's also still good, just like this game.

I unironically love this game. Call me a shill fine but the little hand holding and the world is great. And the items having hand drawn art for each is peak 90s RE/silent hill sovl.

What emotion powers do you like the most thus far?

>>719679417 (OP)
Its a mid 20 hours soulslike, calm your tits

>>719715090
/v/ fucking loved Prey despite it having little enemy variety so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Played it for a few hours, unlocked the blacksmith but I think I'm probably over the game, seeing as how I've killed everything in the swamp and all that probably awaits me is walking back and forth through an empty map as I match symbols in the right order for the countless symbol safe combination puzzles. It is nice to have puzzles that don't completely treat you like a toddler, but it's still pretty rudimentary as far as I can tell.

>>719717170
It was soon after that part when you figure out the blacksmith basement puzzle that it all clicked for me

shocking, absolutely shocking, I have NEVER imagined a story like that, holy shit. two warring religious factions that look identical to an outsider? overall message being "cyclic hatred is bad, mmkay"? utter fucking kino. somebody call up druckmann and let him know what a revolutionary storyteller he is for having inspired such BRAVE and POWERFUL stories.

you find a paper later that outright tells you which ones to activate. There are 5 pairs of these levers hidden throughout the swamp. You need to go around and activate the correct ones to open a door. Fairly certain you can't access all of the levers until later, I was only able to find 3 so far, and there are areas I've come across that I can't access yet, so don't go crazy over it for now.

it's fascinating that this is bringing out this many honestly, it's a fairly inoffensive, mediocre game that as far as I know doesn't have any tranny devs making retarded public statements.

>>719724282
Yeah, it's somewhat daring. Hell they don't even portray the soldiers' cumbucket as an innocent victim either. Since she fesses up to getting whipped up in the lynching of that family as well and is getting raped in revenge.

the shilling is WAY too obvious bud. you attack literally EVERY SINGLE criticism as if the game is utter perfection. it's a mediore game made by a bunch of frogs on a shoestring budget. you can count the amount of enemies on one hand, literally. the combat is a complete joke. the MC has a hilarious broccoli cut. the movement and animations are straight out of UE default settings. the story is boring and done to death. you can refute any of this to your heart's content but it's plain as day that this game isn't devoid of flaws, budget limitations and poor design. complete non-admission of any flaws easily outs you as a shill. also advise not using the key art as the OP, it's also extremely obvious. Use an original screenshot or webm at the very least.
