I played kings field 3

>>724039137 (OP)
King's Field is such a bad name, oh wow the King has an empty field? They probably wanted to name it King's Quest but it was taken

it's the citizen kane of vidya

>>724039367
It's named after some golf course in the UK that one of the devs went to in the 80s.

And yeah, it's a shit name.

>>724039137 (OP)
it's because they only know about it because they found the funny reference sword in a modern fromsoft game

>>724039137 (OP)
i played it

>>724039137 (OP)
maybe you should stop projecting and actually play the game?

>>724039137 (OP)
I played it for like an hour and it was too shit and boring to force myself to continue. Does that constitute "having played it"?

>>724039376
Lynchian, some might say.

Evergrace > Shadow Tower Abyss > King's Field 4

I've played all 3 PS1 King's Fields and loved them

KF4 has at least a bad start IMO so I never got into it

>>724039137 (OP)
Does anybody know if that gargoyle face is from anywhere? Like how the Doom wall asset is from a real statue.

>>724039137 (OP)
I played picrel by the guy sucking off king's field so hard he threw his back out.

>>724039137 (OP)
I've played them all and I think 1 is the worst one. But that's mostly cause it's the first one. For me it's

>King's Field 3
>King's Field 2
>Shadow Tower
>Shadow Tower Abyss
>King's Field 4
>King's Field

>>724040714
he can't decide if he's sucking off king's field or arx fatalis, and the game is worse off for it

>>724040392
It seems to be inspired or somehow related to this art used for Dracula material

>>724039137 (OP)
I played them all. KF3 is genuinely good if you can look past the jank. Shadow Tower (1) is even better but it doesn't have the KF name attached to it. KF4 and Shadow Tower: Abyss are memes and are not fun despite what people say.

I watch all of Majulaar's videos, so I basically played it

>>724039137 (OP)
I played lunacid. Same thing pretty much.

>>724042169
oh and i'm trans btw

>>724042218
Youre a silly billy :p
And correct

>>724039137 (OP)
I enjoyed them, and I wish I could find more games similar to them.

>>724041074
He needs to work on his deepthroat skills, his game feels flat and empty.

>>724042071
>KF4 and Shadow Tower: Abyss are memes and are not fun despite what people say
that's where they dip into the "grimdark slow burn artsy slogfest" and move away from the power fantasy aesthetic of kf 1-3.

>>724039137 (OP)
Sometimes, after I listen to its soundtrack, I get the urge to play it... aaaaand then I remember what the gameplay looks like.

>>724044263
what's wrong with the gameplay? you go around and smash things, it's adequate

I played FlyKnight

>>724039137 (OP)
I played all of them and even played Eternal Ring.
It's really not an achievement, they're very easy games. It does not take high gamer prowess to strafe or juke then bop.

>>724042071
Shadow Tower needing a load screen every time you equip an item and having no music is kind of a drag, otherwise probably objectively better.

the music is extremely sad

>>724044424
If you've played through Fly Knight you can easily play through any KF because Fly Knight is probably clunkier lmao.

>>724039938
it constitutes you being a zoomer niglet

>>724042071
Can you do high framerate (144) and MKB controls with those two? I remember trying KF1 and being repulsed by its 18 fps. And trying to up the framerate sped up the game, so I ended up zooming across the map.

>>724039137 (OP)
I tried but it wasnt for me

>>724044540
KF4's music is since it was all in on the sad grimdark gravy train, the rest are much more upbeat.

>>724044540
>the music is extremely slap
no cap

one of those series where the thought of playin it is more interesting. ill just slap on a majuular video instead because actually playin it would be a slog

same with system shock. im too scared to play it but i like everything else about it.

>>724045073
This isn't Fear and Hunger, they're (including SS) extremely forgiving and usually pretty short.

>>724039137 (OP)
I did, and now I'm making my own version to show that tranny that made the absolute crap that's lunacid how to actually do it

>>724039137 (OP)
I played the first one, the Japan-only one, and finished it out of spite. I'm sure the later ones are much better but the first one was a tech demo and was such a slog that I haven't bothered going back to the series

>>724045073
>one of those series where the thought of playin it is more interesting
what do you "people" even play? call of duty and league?

>>724045516
when i play games i stick to one game obsessively and move on to the next.
right now its ninja gaiden 4. i am waiting for alchemy factory and some cat mouse colony sim comin out in november.

so the idea of playin kings field means i would probably have to play them all and they seem long, slow and tedious to play so i avoid it.

>>724042071
How is Abyss not fun what the fuck
>>724043058
I don't think any of these MCs gets stronger than the one in Abyss, if anything the problem with that game was you being too strong

>>724045516
they play skinner box multiplayer slop in between this month's FOTM release their ecelebs are marketing

>>724045586
>they seem long, slow and tedious to play
not really. they have their own flow, so it's pretty comfortable to play when you know how things work. broaden your horizons, autist anon

>>724045726
ive looked into them. this isn't the 90-early 2000s anymore where we decide to play a game off a magazine article or commercial.
i have looked into which fromsoft kings field type to play, and it was either some shit like Eternal Ring, Shadow Tower or Kings Field 4 and at that point I'd rather just skip over them.
i dont think i could fully appreciate them after being spoiled by the games we have today.

>>724045871
incomprehensible thought process

>>724045592
It's more of a tonal thing, Abyss tries to stay somber and mysterious for the whole ride, while in king's field 3 you reclaim your birthright, channel the power of 6 archmages and fight a god in a magic duel.

I played KF4 first and really liked it. Then I played 1 (japanese) and beat it. However, I started 2 and forgot to save and died after doing stuff for 2 hours and never went back.

>>724046168
Shame, but it happens.

>>724046168
I remember renting King's Field way back when and suffering the same fate. Then maybe a month later due to lack of anything else being available I rented it again and found save point/saved more often and got hooked.

the game stinks. its just not good. controls stink, difficulty up the ass for no reason. demons is their first real game. all prior fantasy ones suck ass

>>724045592
Because while shooting a demon knight guy in the face with an RPG is funny the first time you do it, it's actually just boring to play a game where you brought a gun to a knife fight. Also the areas are boring as shit. The game was on the PS2 but feels just as cramped as the PS1 games.
