For the 3 anons still playing this cool mystery adventure game

How many side quests have you messed up already?

>>719760679 (OP)
failed a bunch of jova quests because the backtracking got too tedious. also probably not going to bother backtracking to seal the timeloops they put at the bottom of dungeons but lock behind meme crystals you don't have or put the last guardian behind a door locked with a meme stick you don't have. game really needed fast travel

It's not particularly big brained. Just very enjoyable to have a game world you can discover on your own and with some intriguing mysteries. You have to explore nooks and crannies, some stuff can be a bit hidden, a lot of optional content and secrets. Not everything is immediately spelled out and instantly gratifying. A lot is conveyed through environmental storytelling, atmosphere, worldbuilding. There are a lot of puzzles you cannot immediately solve, but you just have to backtrack later once you find a hint or item elsewhere. A misconception is equating this sort of design with challenging, but it just means elegant and satisfying. It's not big brained, but it doesn't take you for an idiot.

It reminds me more of older RPGs with good exploration. Like STALKER, Witcher 1, Gothic, Morrowind. Or even point and clicks.

1) If I play it on Easy, does it just change the difficulty of the combat or does it make puzzle easier and give you hints and shit?
2) Is the game a survival horror type game where you try to find combat resources and save them up for combat?

I love how much Fallout 3 and Death Stranding is in here, though I really wish the enemy design was more unique

It's really weird, and that's cool

>>719762927
>1) If I play it on Easy, does it just change the difficulty of the combat or does it make puzzle easier and give you hints and shit?
Only the combat, no puzzle hints. There are hints in the game world you can find.
>2) Is the game a survival horror type game where you try to find combat resources and save them up for combat?
No, it's melee combat so no ammo, you can find some consumables like medkits but they're mostly useless as the most efficient way to heal by stealing hp from enemies during combat.
It does have survival horror type puzzles though if you enjoy those.

>>719763073
>talking sim
this is what has put me off from the game. maybe it's decent. too much talking though. would be better as a text-only game probably

>>719763502
Having a dialogue system is good, actually.
It's not a talking sim. It's a classic adventure game

>>719763415
Alright, awesome, so I'm not gonna feel guilty playing on easy. Combat looks like trash but I'm mildly interested in the exploration.

>>719760679 (OP)
i really have the soul slop gameplay fatigue. was impressive few years ago. not anymore

I think it is fair to say this will be the other sleeper hit of 2025 along with Tainted Grail.

>>719764025
>Tainted Grail.
qrd

Always love to see a /v/-approved sleeper hit.

where is this keyyyyy

>this timeloop is too dangerous to enter
>run back to the top of the abbey
>kill two random enemies near a bridge
>timeloop noise
>go back to the bottom of the abbey
>it's a theta rift and i only have sigma and rho crystals
this game was designed by bad people

This game is great

>>719765485
wait, you can ask them about the words on the right? mind blown
is it just lore or does it affect the game
what the fuck have I missed

>>719765576
....BRUH *dong* ohnononono

>>719764096
Elden Skyrim

How "Rollsloppy" is it?

>sleeper hit
It's only a "sleeper hit" if you don't pay attention to the games being announced.

>>719765813
It has a rally mechanic sort of like Bloodborne so it rewards aggression and tanking hits, but you have to time a button press with a visible build up of a white energy ring around your character
It's not bad, it doesn't have a lot of depth, but the encounters aren't the meat, the meat is the exploration and the atmosphere

>>719765813
theres a skill called delirium that just stuns everything near you and you can build up enough not-mana to use it while they're stunned so the combat basically doesn't exist unless you want it to.

>>719765485
I can appreciate the fact that they don't really shy away from atrocities being committed. You got a bunch of people being hung from a tree including a child. You wander into a house and see a soldier cleaning up what is implied to be a scene where a rape and then a murder took place. You have a woman essentially forced into being a comfort woman for the men stationed there. That is just the second area.

>>719760679 (OP)
all these idiotic visual effects

>>719760679 (OP)
Wait you can mess up sidequest? If there is one thing i dont like in dark souls is that you can ruin a sidequest by even walking in the wrong direction

>>719764096
Skyrim but smaller and actually has unique content

>>719766397
It's more certain side quests seem to have a time limit associated with them and the time limit seems to be when you clear acts since clearing acts slightly changes the world state, but sometimes you have to proceed forward with acts in order to clear a side quest that you started in the previous act. I beat Act 1, but so far the side quests that I left incomplete, because I couldn't find the solution at that point, haven't auto failed.
There was some side content that did kind of scream at me if I didn't do it now that the quest giver was very likely going to die in the near future like a woman who states that if she can't find her medication then she's likely doomed. Her medication is found nearby when exploring.

>>719760679 (OP)
From the streams I've seen, it looks like Elex for me, but the 2025 version with better graphics and combat. Am I right? (I somehow liked Elex)

>>719766616
Hows exploration? Frankly im the type of anon that thinks even SH2 combat gameplay is good, so my tolerance for weird/bad combat is pretty high, so i dont really care when people say the combat is bad. What i care mainly, is the exploration good, do nooks and crannies lead to secret areas, is there a lot of enemy variety, that kind of stuff.

we're actually playing it

>>719760679 (OP)
>>How many side quests have you messed up already?
How do I know I messed up?
Do I get a some 'failed' message or stamp on good deeds?
Currently going through mass-murder tower looking for one of the keystones.

>>719764013
it's not a souls game

>>719773197
some npcs die if you dont help them

>>719764247
main story

>>719763073
Nigga this is avowed

>>719773197
You get a failure message if you fucked up a good deed. There's no warning message if you are about to screw up one though, so it's best to do them as soon as you can. Of course some good deeds can only be done after progressing the plot, so good luck.

t. Fucked up the woman's medicine quest outside a tunnel because I was blind and progressed the plot instead.

Fucked up the violin players quest and found him swinging. Was really surprised and whispered kino under my breath

>>719773241
>>719773369
I gave life saving pills to older woman in small refugee camp near the mines and to the ON soldier hiding under one of the marsh monuments.
No one died yet as far as I know.
>so it's best to do them as soon as you can
Always do that, as soon as I get some item always backtrack and try to use it.
What kind of bugs me is that everyone you can talk to gets 'Trade' option while you can only trade with selected few.
I was going through the first 3 areas, inch by inch so I don't miss anything because there was bunch of deeds I couldn't finish, like freeing the dog.
Later the soldier preventing me just went away.
Same with various keys and emblems.
Hard to tell If I missed something or if they appear later.

>>719773672
I havent found the pills for the soldier, hes probably dying soon kek

>>719773672
just let it fail if they fail. More realistic and immersive. You're having less fun by being anal about it.

>>719764096
Tainted Grail, Fall of Avalon

A mostly Celtic Flavored skyrim, mostly buggy (last time i played anyway) but pretty damn fun, Act 1 is great, act 2 is okay, act 3 sort of falls apart

>>719773786
The pills are only available in the burning city I forgot the name of after you're send to hunt for remaining keystones.
Also you have to basically finish the main quest for that area for Pharmacy to become accessible.

>>719773796
>You're having less fun by being anal about it.
I do it for ego and rewards, high functioning sociopath and all that.

Get a real job, holy shit.
Also it's a "cinematic" third person turd with a femoid protagonist. Here's your shillng-free review.

There are pills for what you're going through anon-kun.
Get well soon.

>>719774774
I'm sorry you have to suffer like that anon-kun.
Don't worry, it will get better.

>>719774651
>femoid protagonist
the bots really do make shit up as they go

>>719774651
are you mixing this up with Cronos?

According to lore there's 8 types of 'emotions' tied to the demon but I only met 4 types of demons so far ( terror (green), ecstasy (yellow), rage (red) and grief (blue)).
Is that all or do we get more later?

>>719775227
Roughly through 3/4 of the game and didn't see anything else.
Only various mixups and combinations like enemies with 2 emotions or enemy with tier 2 emotions that break up into 2 tier 1 ones, when you kill them.

>>719760679 (OP)
So this game looks interesting. Does it actually play like an action adventure or more souls-like? because I'm down for adventure if that's the direction of it. It's like when people make soulslikes they don't even understand what i was originally playing the games for. But i never liked this sub genre to begin with admittedly. I never 'got' the appeal outside the aspects i found appealing. The fact there are side quests leads me to believe it's actually of a different direction.

>>719775780
The people screeching that this is a soulslike would probably call any third-person game where you hit things with a sword a soulslike.

first dungeon is nice

I preordered it but honestly it comes out the same day as Silksong so I need to play that first. Hope it's good cause I've been looking forward to this

>>719760679 (OP)
Started and so far, this game is pretty good. Just got to the Tower and wandering around the area, don't know if I can come back after I use the APC, but based on the puzzles here I should be able to? So far healing is kicking my ass. I don't get how you do it without blocking or sidestepping. It's like the perfect time to heal is when the enemy is attacking.

is this any good not sure if i should play this slop or cronos

The game looks nice and the setting is very interesting. I would have bought it, but I'm having second thoughts due to the disconnect between the combat and the world. I don't even mind the souls like combat, but just the fact that there's military hardware lying around, trenches and machine guns, but the protag challenges the monsters in melee. I hope the reason is good at least.

>>719775780
It's action adventure.
There are some souls-like traits but the focus is exploration and puzzle solving.

For people put off by combat part:
You can play on easy without any downsides like missing cheevos.
You don't get penalized for dying.
Enemies you killed before you died stay dead.
You don't lose any currency or experience.
All the story parts you solved between last checkpoint and your dead stay solved.

The combat and enemy design look fucking atrocious. I played the demo a few months ago and got very strong "wait a minute that card....." Skyrim claw energy and just stopped.

>>719776179
The reason is because the gun you had didn't work and the sword you saw did work. Then for some reason a few minutes later, you'll find a pair of axes. Also you can do magic now.

My problem with this game is that it puts a lot of emphasis on exploration and puzzles but because the combat, enemy variety and character customization are so weak, I have no desire to explore. The rewards aren't enticing.

>>719760679 (OP)
Yo this game any good or what? How does it compare to DXHR or DXMD?

>>719776448
Lore is enticing.

>>719776179
>I hope the reason is good at least.
You'll get the explanation like halfway through the game if you manage to collect enough research objects for your journalist/scientist pall.
Heavy spoilers ahead.
'Demons' from other dimension are *VERY* hard to damage with conventional weapons while they are also agile and deadly.
It's mentioned in some ancient text that it took 8 days and 2000 dead soldiers to bring down one of them during the Calamity.
Then they had a great idea to start making weapons coated in remains of the demon body and it worked out well for them.

>>719760679 (OP)
This game is dogshit

>have to remember three stories to open a door
Tell me this game doesn't have harder puzzles because that was difficult.

>>719776736
You'll get the explanation later >>719776643

Filtering games has never been easier!

>>719776895
Neat. I didn't know there were damage numbers.

What weapons are you using, anons?
I think halberd is the best
>greatsword reach
>speed of hatchets
>best mana generation of all weapons

>>719776643
Aight, sounds good enough. Since I can't see complaints of any outstanding flaws, I might have to buy it now.

>find quickstep module for the drone
>the game turns into a mecha

>>719777207
Better question is which emotion is best?
I made my halberd green and I don't like it
I just use ungabunga (red) by default

>>719777207
I flipflop between halberd and greatsword.
Halberd is really good in general, high speed, good reach, decent damage, and good AoE with it's charge attack. It's my go to weapon when I want to plow through the dungeon.
Greatsword feels strictly inferior, it only has high hyperarmor to it's name, but swinging a big sword is always cool.

>>719777207
Switching between them so I have at least one of it's kind leveled up properly but yes, halberd is best with GS being close second.
You just have to get accustomed to trading but the amount of health you get from few GS swings is enormous.
>>719777398
No idea.
My halberd is also green because I like that exploding field you can trigger manually addon.

>>719760679 (OP)
>press X to jason execution
ruined

>>719777452
Yellow greatsword is great because it allows you to stun targets and then rape their faces with charge attacks

>>719777398
Green is good for the halberd because it gives a lot of aoe options to the weapon with the best reach.
Red is great for the weapon throw

I need to start writing down those rod chests locations, symbols and colors

>>719777524
>coolest thing ever

The worst part is knowing he made it out like nothing even mattered, so I hope there's payoff.

Is the game fun?

>>719779894
MC isn't completely heartless.
The interrogator points this out after he reveals they captured the smith and have him in custody and MC reacts.

>>719780212
Yeah, he's not, but i like that the entire explanation for his journey is that he barely feels anything and for the first time in life he found a purpose he could connect with.

>>719766151
>You got a bunch of people being hung from a tree including a child.
I cannot recall a single game that had the balls to do this. Consider me impressed.

first boss was buggy

It's always funny to see hard proof that /v/ doesn't play games.

>>719779487
>zoomer haircut
It's 80's-like frizzy hair to match with all the other esthetics like early PC tech and cassette tapes, not broccoli zoomer shit, the difference isn't subtle

>>719780090
If you like exploring semi large-ish areas, solving puzzles and helping people while whacking samey enemies with couple of weapons and powers in between then yes.

>>719760679 (OP)
I actually like it so far, torrented it off 1337x out of curiosity, and it's a blend of control + RE + dark souls, with a supernatural + ww2 war theme or idk what is happening yet, i'm like 2 or 3 maps in.

protip: you can heal pulse while blocking if you need to.

>>719782683
There's also a little girl sitting on a couch with half of her right arm chopped off by ''enemies'' and bunch of other adults mutilated like that to prevent them from voting for independence.
Don't remember which side did that, they are kind of taking turns being assholes to each other.

>>719785136
There are bosses?
Closest to a boss I fought so far was big hulky guy with 2 grief blobs type 2 which split into 2 grief blobs type 1 when you 'killed' them.
Bottom of the lake area dungeon.

This game looks really cool, I love exploration games and I adore Death Stranding but fuck I'm so tired of """souls likes"""
Dark Souls 1 is my favourite of the trilogy, does it at least play like that, slower, methodical combat, shorter combat encounters and a fair level of difficulty

>>719786741
Yes. The game doesn't even try to be like DS3 or ER

>>719786741
The combat is honestly just filler to the bulk of the game which is exploring and doing puzzles. I think the developers just put in combat because I think they were scared of how the reaction would be if there wasn't any combat.
Enemies for example only respawn when you leave an area but won't respawn when you die.

>>719786872
the webm in OP disagrees with you

>>719786741
Combat has a few similarities with souls-borne+Nioh but the exploration, puzzles and quests have much bigger role.
It can become hectic sometimes because game compensates low enemy variety with mixed crowds of creatures that can fuck you up fast if you're just trying to ungabunga without a plan.
That said there are weapon skills, drone skills and you can switch to easy without any penalty.
Also if you do get killed the dead monsters don't respawn so you don't have to reply harder parts from the beginning till you get through in one go.

>>719786935
>. I think the developers just put in combat because I think they were scared of how the reaction would be if there wasn't any combat.
You're likely correct.
You can't go back to Silent Hill 1 press-X-to-whack-zombie-dog-with-a-rusty-pipe type of combat now.
People would really bitch a lot if that happened.

>>719787057
No it doesn't

>>719786646
yeah, that guy
just turned invisible and camera lock kept bugging out

>>719786741
It's not slower but somewhat methodical if you bump up difficulty to max (because inherently crowd control-focused, harsher on stamina management and more chaotic enemy patterns so you really alternate between mash mash mash and block/parry more than in souls where attack openings are more strict I think). It plays fairly uniquely honestly, don't go into it with the soulslike mindset. And you can adjust difficulty % down if you struggle.

>musician got killed because I didn't know I had to give him the music sheet before progressing the main story
shit gaym

>>719787365
Just roll with it. I'm not sure if there is multiple endings, but the only real reward for doing good deeds so far is seemingly the stuff that you get from one NPC and all that stuff is combat related and the game already throws way too much combat gear at you.

>>719787365
The part where he begs you to search for new tunes because the enemy commander is staring daggers at him and waiting for an excuse to off him for being stuck with one tune didn't clue you in?

>>719760679 (OP)
What games is the combat similar to? I haven't been able to get a good sense of that from recordings of the gameplay.

I like how it has rpg elements, you have to actually talk to people to figure stuff out, has puzzles, and there are seemingly aliens and ww2 artillery but it isn't clear why yet, but you learn bits from items looted in the world.

it isnt even fair to call it a soulslike, if anything it has SOME combat similarities but that's about it. It's not the generic bonfire -> boss -> bonfire loop, even though there are "bonfires" (save recorders) which are just checkpoints. you do a lot of non-linear exploring.

>>719787338
>just turned invisible and camera lock kept bugging out
Well that sucks.
I had a few deaths with camera going spastic in very narrow areas but no invisible enemies so far.

>>719787503
I already gave him one sheet early, but then got a second one somewhere deep in some dungeon and didn't want to go back aaaalll the way to the truck - fast travel - give him the sheet - go back to truck - fast travel because it's BORING and STUPID so fuck me I guess.

>>719787548
>from recordings of the gameplay
Play the demo instead of watching vids.

Also "puzzles" are Skyrim level of hard.

>>719787548
combat is fully a souls clone with the nioh life regen gimmick, anyone pretending otherwise is a liar

>>719779407
It's time to end it all you obsessed retard

>>719787656
I don't know. I think a puzzle early on in the main story is going to filter some people just because when you walk in there so many different options for placement. It isn't like the puzzle is hard because you just need to take the information presented to you through documents and the environment to figure out where you need to place them, but that is asking lots out of gamers in 2025.

>>719787842
you mean the sigils thing?
the game literally tells you the solution plainly.

yikes

>>719787608
>but then got a second one somewhere deep in some dungeon
2nd piece of music was not very far from APC in Watcher's nest area, out in the open space on a corpse with suitcase, not in a dungeon.
I understand not wanting to go back and forth between areas with every single new item but you have to do a lot of stuff in WN area, basically solve it all, then progress to blue flower lake area, solve the water hole puzzle and finish the whole dungeon to progress the story.
Not stopping by in marsh area in between is a choice.

>>719760679 (OP)
Wow this looks like shit

why is the sword so shit? slow af and poor dmg

>>719787704

you have to stop by either swamp and ask the priest or forest and ask old dude in his basement to get the travel point to the blue flower

Worse weapon from the bunch, nothing makes it stand out, it's just bad.

>>719788898
Worst*

>>719787548
>What games is the combat similar to?
ds2 levels of gank mobs
every fight is markiona dual puppet gimmick
bloodborne rally (havent played nioh) but its your main source of heal

markiona my favorite boss fight concept this year so maybe that's why I'm enjoying the crowd control gimmick in this game more than other anons

so just beat Wuchang and it was fantastic, best non-From soulslike
Should i play this or stellar blade next?

>>719787904
>the game literally tells you the solution plainly.
Yes but you have to go through several documents and read them with understanding + explore the surroundings and fill in the rest.
There are no red / bold / underlined keywords to remind you 'this info is important'.
That would filter like half of /v/ if they tried the game.

>>719789310
Toss a coin.
This one has much bigger focus on exploration, quests and puzzles than combat if that helps.
Similar to Wuchang you can fuck up NPC quests if you do some things 'out of order' or rush forward in a story too much without finishing stuff you could.

i heard people saying this game runs terribly, but i'm playing at 1440p with no dlss on ultra and a smooth and constant 60 with no stutters or dips with a 4070ti and i5-13600k

>>719789525

How is build variety and ARPG side of things?

>>719790283
yes, monday for fags with more money than brains, today for poorfags
>build variety
you don't have stats, there are 4 weapons and two pairs of jewellery you can use for your 'build'
all that weapon waving shit is kind of secondary, not a focus

>>719787904
the computer tells you the armor rack is useless and that one of the shield things is relevant, but for the entrance stuff you need to go down the ladder, and to get the proper name.

still more involved than the average "puzzle" in these types of games

>>719790283
>>719790702
It's slightly deeper than that, but only slightly.
You can assign 3 weapon skill to each weapon.
You also have a drone with 4 modules you can equip allowing you to perform various stunts with it.
One of the two relics you can equip also has a skill you can trigger, the other one is passive.
Remaining two pieces are defense gear are both passive.

>>719764013
It's not a souls like at all.

Is there some elemental damage advantage when using weapons of different element than enemy or is it strictly filter for glyphs?

>>719789525
it runs well for me too. might me an issue for amd users?

OH SHIT

>>719792707
Not the first nor the last game to be treated like this.

SPIN2WIN

>>719790283
There are 4 weapon types. Each one of them needs an "emotion" assigned to it that will dictate what "weapon arts" it's going to use. The weapon arts are actually powerful as fuck and once you get a bit deeper into the game, regenerating mana necessary for them is piss easy so you end up using them a lot.
Drone provides you with 4 more abilities. All of them are fun as fuck. Quickstep dashing that turns you into something akin to mecha, beyblade helicopter spin2win, drone assisted plunge, etc.

>>719794992
It's so annoying. To me, this plays more like Nier.

>>719795007
i think i've found my favorite weapon type

It's the best weapon type, yeah. Solid moveset, fast as fuck gap closer running attack, good charged attack. Give it green or red upgrade and face fuck everything.

this guy looks 90s as fuck for some reason

also Jensen says 'who are you' a lot

>>719795592
>90s as fuck for some reason
>shit happens in 1993

What's the performance like? Am I dreaming with a GTX 1080?

>>719795686
yeah but he's the only npc i've seen so far who scream 90s dude

>>719795284
yeah nice - the finishers are sick too

>>719795151
Polearm > Dual Axe > Greatsword > Sword
Polearm is just way too busted, it has speed, range and AoE.
Dual Axe is fast, though predictably short range.
Greatsword has tons of hyperarmor, but you will be trading hits which can be bad when you encounter higher grade opponents that can actually do damage.
Sword is just painfully below average in everything.
I honestly feel bad about using the polearm for how little drawbacks it has.

>>719795086
oh shit it does kinda remind me of nier (original) not automata

don't forget to manually back up your save files
i played stellar blade (again) when it came out on PC and I ended up losing like 40 hours because of a save file corruption

>>719796198
yeah the weapon types and having a little boo- i mean drone performing actions on the side. and it's pretty jank like nier.

>>719796321
>because of a save file corruption
How does that happen?
Do you ALT+F4 during the game a lot?

>>719796583
nah i think it's completely random

>>719796321
tnx for the reminder actually

The idea of having to investigate, take notes, watch landmarks, etc. to explore and understand the game is interesting. I just didn't think any of the actual puzzles looked good.

>>719796858
I name thee Tkez, the Unimpressed.

thank fuck you can climb fast and slide down ladders

this game needs a first person camera option

>>719797934
i agree

i'm surprised my dumb ass figured this out

>>719760679 (OP)
0 because I'm based

>>719798448
I wanted to see some live playthroughs to see retards vs the watcher nest puzzle but youtube algo is so shit now it barely gives me results, is no one streaming this at all? I don't use twitch because it's pure cancer. But anyway, the only vid I saw blatantly used a guide to solve that one kek then dropped the game there.

>>719797634
kek

>>719760679 (OP)
>How many side quests have you messed up already?
1 flare (dude in garage)

>>719799313
kek

>>719799250
>the only vid I saw blatantly used a guide to solve that one kek then dropped the game there
who is that retard wow

>>719799250
oh man now I wanna see DSP play this

>>719799250
>watcher nest puzzle
everything is spelled out for you. how can you fail this shit

>>719760679 (OP)
how do you know when you mess up a quest? i gave the drunk soldier some booze but he told me it was not enough

>>719799987
>>719800458
>>719800598
this is the average gamer, attention span of a goldfish
notice there's a subtle noticeable video cut then he says "ok i'll try brute forcing but not from 01, but close to the solution number" kek

>>719800598
>how can you fail this shit
Click through the documents without reading or understanding?
Give up before you even start because shit looks hard?
Missing 3 neurons to rub together so when the hint tells you guy's name is important you don't associate it with 4 names on the wall or miss the mural that tells you the guy's name?
No idea, but the state of this board suggests there's plenty of brainless beings only able to spew memes and buzzwords of the month.
>>719800815
You can finish that part much later.

did we really need even more souls shit?

i'm so tired of this garbage

>>719800953
How the fuck can you get stuck on car number parts?
The second car picture with prominent number painted on it already screamed 'this shit will be used as a passcode later'.
I spent much more time looking through the village trying to find Vitalis' car only to find it near some ruins in the marsh later.

>>719800953
holy shit he did cut the video and look it up. how sad! Do streamers really?

>>719801241
I'm tired of retards calling an adventure game soulshit because there's a sword and stamina yet here we are.

here's a streamer reaching the nest, haven't watched yet but he seems to be enjoying the game
dropped silksong already because he wants to keep playing hell is us (this gives me hope he's not a complete npc)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL29TObQdQw

>>719800953
how does this dullard have so many subs?

>>719801464
sadly, yes
that or chat whispering the solutions
when there's a cool puzzle in a game I like to check out blind playthroughs to see how other players solved it and 90% streamers just spoil the solution

I got the first real boss fight, with boss health bar and everything in it's own creepy boss arena.
It was a fight for terror keystone.
I kind of forgot I have a bell that insta-kills one terror being.
Does it work on bosses?

>>719801524
yeah, this totally does not look like every other souls turd out there

i'm sure the developer very deliberately made the game totally not souls shit

>>719802185
Thanks for confirming you don't know shit about the game.
Feel free to bitch and moan farther but don't expect any more (you)s from me.

>>719776702
this is one of the few games i like to take notes while playing, feels like im playing ultima or something like that in the 90s

>>719802523
For me it's the first game like that after a long while.
Especially noting stuff that's still unsolved in each region because game doesn't catalog everything.

>>719777896
kek honestly it looks a bit out of place in this game, the executions could be a bit more realistic instead of ''cool''

>>719760679 (OP)
This actually came out? I tried the demo and it was more like Skyrim than Morrowind, unfortunately.

>>719802304
i know exactly what it is but you seem in denial, you are like those retards that believe titanfall isn't just a reskin of cod

so enjoy your souls shit you fucktard but don't try to pretend it isn't that

so is /v/ pro-sabinian or pro-palomist?

>>719777896
what the fuck is this game
>>719802810
it was supposed to be like morrowind?
what are guys trying to shill, is it actually good?

>>719802927
define souls game

>Pay extra to beta test release puts people and discussion on an uneven playing field
Thanks corpos.

>>719802971
it's an adventure game, lots of puzzles, no hand holding.

>>719802937
Hard to choose.
Palomists had cooler genocide 'tech', Sabinians had their '300' moment.
Can't I pick the shadowy organization with cool APCs and drone equipped ponchos?
I didn't finish the game yet so I have only vague idea they are somewhat aligned with Sabs or at least have a non agression pact with them.

I like that you can actually help people and save them.
It's not just bleak shit where everything goes from bad to worse and everyone dies.
It was pretty great when I got back to the old guy you meet first and his only living son was with him, together with the kid and woman you can save in small refugee camp.

>and I thought my family had issues
lel
what a twist
i really did not see that coming despite the hint

If fags got stuck at Watcher's nest puzzle I can't wait for them to reach the Tower puzzle with 6 levers.

bump

>>719760679 (OP)
the name doesn't fit the game and also shit enemy variation

dead game dead thread

gonna get comfy with this game on the weekend. love games which exploration is the main pull

>>719808097
>the name doesn't fit the game
how?
it's about bunch of people mass murdering each other for more than a millennium for slight differences in opinions about religion, even unleashing 'demons' who murder everyone indiscriminately
it's pretty fitting

>>719808401
so its an israel simulator?

>>719809737
Setting is eastern european, and the premises is that a people of one isolationist country are killing each other for centuries .
Started out as single nation with single religion.
Later some people started to have a problem with it (traditionalists vs reformists) that started all the conflict.
Bit similar but it's not judaism vs islam, more like catholics vs protestants.

>>719789920
The best non-fromsoft soulslike is LOTF2023.

>>719811076
Are those fags still whining they didn't sell 30M like Elden Ring and complain about not breaking even?

>>719811076
thats a weird way of spelling WUCHANG

The shilling is powerful today, sorry buddy, but don't release a game the same day Silksong does.
>8 enemies
>3 Bosses
That's your entire combat in this game.

>>719760679 (OP)
Im having fun

>>719760679 (OP)
Is this game good? The enemy design looks cool but the main character looks like a death stranding ripoff and the combat/UI looks kind of cheap.

>>719811417
>another retard complaining about combat in game where combat is secondary and other similar games with focus on mystery solving, quests and exploration, had combat like 'press x to hit zombie with a stick'
It's all so tiresome.

>>719811757
Hell yeah, another open world game with fetch quests and "exploration" filled with barebone systems and no enemy variety.
I respect the hussle tho, how much they paying per post?

>>719811757
Why are you pushing the combat is secondary shit so autistically? You know damn well that's bullshit.

>>719812479
>another open world game
I wish retards would at least make a basic research before they embarrass themselves in these threads.
>>719812580
How much time do you spend combing through areas, solving puzzles, talking with people searching for clues to advance and solving their shit so they don't die?

>>719812804
What did you say? I couldn't hear you over the incoming layoffs. Retarded you say? Yeah, I know you're bud.

>>719813095
>user made tags
yeah nah

>>719813095
>some idiots add open world tag to a game with bunch of completely disconnected areas
All you have proven is that some STEAM users are retards.
Good job retard.

This is the first thing you see of the game. The devs know they fucked up bad and are extremely insecure about it. Keep shilling King!

>Y-You guys don't get it, it's for hardcore gamers like me!
Damm dog, I guess Donkey Kong Bananza is truly for pro gamers

>>719813185
>>719813228
Lmaooo you guys are funny. Keep coping kings. It's semi dogshit

>>719813395
Sorry retard, I can't see the goalpost anymore.
Next time try to keep it on the same continent.
Nice attempt at damage control though, though if doesn't really fix your ignorant first post.

>>719813395
so it's not open
good job idiot

>>719813636
>>719813634
You guys are really trying to get to the frontpage. What's the rate on shitposting? Enjoy the marketing campaign while it lasts, studio won't be there in a month. L Bozo

>>719813295
>there's a message game doesn't have quest markers or a map
>it means devs are insecure
Are you ok?
Do you have brain damage?

>>719813779
Lmao keep coping king!

>>719813779
Stop replying to a bot idiot.

>>719813948
Lmao, It's le bots being le assholes, our game is big chungus poggers.

>>719813295
its just a warning to consolefags

i forgot about this game
is it good?
