God lord, this shit is for free for PS+ right now and it's fucking garbage. I'm glad I didn't buy it. I just killed the cementary boss.
Does it get any better?

haha no bro, that games sucks cant even come close to Dark Souls level, maybe it can reach DS2 tough amirit XD

Is it still sub 20 fps? This was the first game on a console that game me a headache from just playing it.

It gets even easier. Grab a tower shield, start a run and try to block. You'll do a shield tackle. Turns every enemy outside of bosses into trash. Even the big guys get stumbled and opened up for hits, the smaller guys fly on their ass.

they improved it now it's sub 25...

Real answer: it's not COMPLETE garbage, but it's not great. While it does get a little better after you meet the blacksmith and unlock all the spells, if you're REALLY not enjoying it now, you won't want to stick around.

>The VERY FIRST spell you unlock will nearly always cause a boss to not focus on you
>It's possible cheese almost every boss with this
>On some builds, this will also heal

For a game that really tries to emulate Dark Souls, they really forgot the basic idea of game balance

How do I beat the huge ass knights with a huge shield that always hid behind them?

DUDE SHIELDS LMAO

Prayer is so funny to me. It gives you the easy mode of Souls co-oping but with none of the fun of playing with a friend.

Man, those fucking guys. Talk about slowing the pace to crawl.

Basically, two methods:

1) Get a tower shield (you can get the commander's shield after you killed him, leave the area, and come back to the courtyard where you killed him), and do a sprinting shield attack (hold run for a second or two than press block)
This will knock them over, letting you attack

Or

2) Equip ring of infinite mana (you can get it from the chest in one of the first dimensional gates) and cheese them with spells

God no.
Game may look aesthetically better than any souls game but it fails in every other department.

>l-low fps gets me sick!

Fucking fairy's I swear.

You can do the same with any shield.
I'm doing it with a fucking buckler.

You think Dark souls bosses were gimmicky?
Then boy are you in for a treat.

>aesthetically better
I'll give you that for the first cleric set but this game had a band case of wanting to be Warhammer.
Also enjoy every armor having a recolor for higher levels instead of anything new.

still better than DaS2

Ikr?

It looked so cool graphically and from its art style but goddamn the gameplay felt like total shit. the devs are clearly talented enough to make a pretty game but how could they not tell that the combat felt unsatisfying af? weak

The Commander was the most boring fight in any action game I have ever played

Gameplay was straight up garbage with shit bosses, just wait for Nioh.

Nah.

Well, they spent all the budget in shilling.

I think they knew exactly how it felt, but the slow combat was by design. I mean, it IS realistic that he swings the weapons so slowly and deliberately, but this is a case where fun needs to trump realism.

Dude, I promise you I hate DaS2 as much as the next guy, but not a fucking chance

I liked the combo timing system, made dual dags pretty fun. Too bad the game is really boring.

I find almost every PS+ game is trash. I usually don't even download them or put them on my account even for free.

Furi was pretty gud

The game is saturated with references to souls.
A pair of claws that make fun of Big hat logan's name.
A achievement saying something along the lines of "the real lords starts here".
I'm sure there is more but I couldn't stomach playing anymore after the achievement.

How do I do a shield bash? Running and l2 doesn't do the trick.

This game is to DSfags what DS is to Niohfags.

Nah this game is ass. Clunkiest controls i've witnessed in a long time.

Jesus christ the hitboxes are retarded.
I got some greatsword so I thought I try it out but I have to hug enemies to hit them with it.

Because L2 isn't eh button you use.
It's the block button.
It is just you running into people with your shield up
it is a interesting thing that could be have been cool if it was also in souls.
Shield bash is the only interesting thing in this game.

A shame it's overpowered on regular enemies and entirely useless on bosses.

Except Lords is trying to be a western made Souls and Nioh is trying to be a newer version of Genji and Onimusha. Retards are making the arbitrary connection to souls with the leveling via currency gained on kill.
Nobody seems to remember Onimusha and Genji doing this long before Souls idiots don't care.

Nioh is actually a good game though

Niohfags are DSfags.

So no.

Wew, now those knights are easy too.

To be fair having currency drop on death, summoning for co-op, checkpoints that refill health and respawn enemies, and the ki bar put it much closer to Souls. I don't think it's really like Souls in the end either but it's a fair comparison.

Why is Game Design largely so shit Sup Forums?

It amazes me that games like Lords of the Fallen can be so blatantly inspired by Souls and still get so many fundamental design choices wrong. I don't think Souls is perfect or anything but Miyazaki seems to atleast have a decent grasp on what makes a game work.

It is a fair comparison but people keep getting the idea that Nioh is just copying Souls when the game was in production since before even Demon's souls.

I don't think most modern AAA devs know how to make good games anymore.

Not even joking. Everything is just cinematic bullshit now. They just don't understand how to do gameplay anymore.

it's ok when souls does it

Yo what do you do against the SPecter enemies that I can't attack with my weapon.
I know I can use the gauntlet (or a staff, but they do 4 damage a hit since my faith is low). The only problem with the Gauntlet is that magic takes a while to recharge, so I have to wait about 30 seconds to kill them.

The further into the game you go, the worse it looks.
The simply fact is, it never looks better than the tutorial, and that hurts. Especially when it wants you to go to the void for reasons, and The Void looks like shit.

>Get one of the heavier 2H weapons
>Try to 1H it
>Does fuck all, even if i meet the stat requirement
>2H
>Super slow weird super slow spinning
>Framerate too low and too even to try the Rogue Dex build

There are apparently weapons with elemental damage on them you can use to fuck them up but I just threw magic grenades at them and waited for my magic to recharge. Fuck those ghosts. Ran passed a lot of them.

Fair enough, figured I'd just end up doing that.

>that picture
Anime is absolutely disgusting.

>game had a band case of wanting to be Warhammer.

POP QUIZ:
Is this a light, medium or heavy armor?

I am guessing Light, but it could be a rare compact cleric set that isn't completely overdesigned.

I dropped it at the second boss. Any reason to pick it back up again?

Light.

Glove magic is complete shit, but Poison do enemy damage reduction.

Character magic is also complete shit, its not getting better.

Weapons do sorta get worse, because it really gets a bad case of Fantasy Warhammer, missing that Warhammer is about the contrast of the fantastical with the more practical.

Ending is also sorta... shit.

I had fun with it. Sure it has its sucky moment but overall it feels like a mash up of darksiders and dark souls, The dlc dungeon is pretty shitty though. Crashes everywhere in there.

Just shoot them to death with your gauntlet. You can also keep bashing them until they stagger

Combo system is fun, but it gets stupid on the heavier weapons. It works really well on the medium weapons, that can sorta combo
>AMD graphics
>Framerate never get stable enough to try to do a Dex run
>Dual weapons looks like they could be fun instead of HUGE MC SHIELD MC HUGE WEAPON

I see you've played "guess the mess" before.

>Glove magic is complete shit,

Not really. You can easily cheese many bosses with it. Also,when socketed with flawless rune shit is so powerful it's not even funny.

they're both Souls ripoffs but Nioh is actually good and has different gameplay

Heavy: HUGE MC HUGE MC SPIKES
Medium: Reduced heavy armor, or light armor thats padded more
Light: Rogue shit into full on plate infantry maile

it was damn good

Not really, it obviously looks like some sort of heavy armor but that answer would be too obvious. The fact that you're even asking, and the fact that you want to insult the game, makes it fairly obvious that it has to be a stupid answer.

Reminder that shills spammed Sup Forums with "Say hello to the Dark souls Killer" about this game before release

And its getting a fucking sequel despite abysmal sales

Lords of the fallen was alright, i feel like something was missing from it

Pirated it. Then gave up after 10 minutes because it was dull as shit.

It is one of those games that got early denuvo so I guess that help compound the sales thanks to people's curiosity.

You could also go play staves,daggers or 1 hand sword. All of those are sanic fast. I keep seeing retards complaining about slow swing when they're using a fucking megaton hammer.

Its not that its slow, its just that it doesn't execute in a satisfying way.
Megaton hammers in Zelda is amazing, so is the larger enemy weapons you can wield.
Megaton weapons in LOF is sorta shit.

Some of the stuff, like the Megaton hammers super spins is useless because you can only use it on bosses.
A lot of the smaller enemies, especially the endgame humans, is a pain to fight.

>that webm

...

>there were devs and producers that thought this game is going to be good

It has potential, somewhere. Its very clear that the introduction area is made from a different point in the dev cycle than the rest of the game.

Its just that there is lots of questionable design decisions, everywhere.
