Asmongold BEATS Lies of P 

Never uses Fable Arts ✔️ Only uses Fire Elemental in Grindstone ✔️ All his P Organ Updates are useless because he never uses them ✔️ Almost never blocks or parry ✔️ Never has the right amulet and resistances equipped ✔️ Doesn't know what Advance means after 20 hours of playing ✔️ Never uses the rally (Bloodborne mechanic to lifesteal hp after block)✔️ Skips 1/3 of the items he sees in his path ✔️ Never uses his legion arm ✔️ All his stats are distiputed wrong based on his built (with zero points in capacity) ✔️ Uses the same strategy and inventory on every single boss and area till he beats them ✔️ I have not seen someone who has beaten all Souls games be so fucking bad 😂

For the last 5 years, I've watch Asmon, and I've agreed with every take he has. I have to disagree with him on this one. It's usually funny to watch him play games without needing, or even bothering to learn much of anything about the game. Lies of P was crafted in a way that emphasized learning it's upgrade system to determine the difficulty slider. He can have his opinion about delayed attacks. I just see them the same as rapid attacks in Sekiro, you learn the timing of the beat, you don't literally see every swing. Lies of P is designed for the player to use all your tools to dodge, block, and parry bosses. Asmon uses subpar builds, with subpar gear, with subpar stat distribution, but the blames the game for having bad boss fights, and not his own arrogance to learn how the game functions. His surface level understanding of games, push button to attack or push button to dodge, didn't work for him immediately. So it's a badly designed game? I got no problem with him or his content, but I'm starting to see why he gets hate.

*Hits his head against a wall using the same strategy and style of gameplay for 30 hours straight without learning anything that takes more than 5 seconds to grasp* - "Uh guys, those bosses are bad"

i’ve never had more fun watching someone do something the wrong way

the devs worked really hard to make this game, and it was worth it

This game is awesome if you actually take the time to learn and use dif tactics and weapons, not just brute force it the entire time.

Classic Asmon, if he can't brute force a game it is bad.

Simon whooped him so bad he argued with chat about his opinions beings facts. He turned into Quantum with these takes on bosses.

Chat: Why isn’t he using fable arts? Asmo: Stfu you don’t know anything about games.

No wonder he complained so hard about this game. He has no points Into capacity and wearing basically no armor. Doesn't use fable arts, doesn't use items, doesnt use his legion arm, doesn't equip armor or level his defence, "game is trying too much to be hard". No you're just not trying at all .

I saw Asmon walk right into an enemy and have it smack him in the face and then he legit said "guys the hitboxes are weird"

A lot of the complaints Asmon had about the game he wouldn't be complaining about if he actually tried learning the game lmao but it is Asmon so I shouldn't expect that

“Why would he attack like that, it doesn’t make sense.” Because it’s a mutated zombie robot monster, of course it’s movements and attacks don’t “make sense” lol.

Remember that Asmon ragequit Sekiro before he beat the chained ogre and claimed he played it off stream. We literally have no proof he even beat that game 😂

Let's be real, Asmon "most" of the time doesn't really learn muscle memory, have a change in reaction time, pattern recognition, most of the time he either brute forces his way through or cleverly uses another mechanic built into the game to compensate, like hyperarmor/poise, heavy armor/weapons, spamming jump attacks with overpowered Halberds over and over again. It's why he believes Dark souls and Elden Ring are the peak of the genre over Bloodborne and Sekiro, they demand the player to learn and adapt more than the former. But any long time Asmon viewer and Soulsborne veteran knows this about the way he plays these games. Frankly outside of the swamp thing and the boring npc "bosses", i thought the boss cast was phenomenal, with Nameless Puppet even edging out Radagon for me, I would even go so far as to say I liked Lies of P more than Elden Ring and wish Fromsoft would have expanded on what they did with Sekiro and Bloodborne as opposed to going down the route of open worlds with dark souls and some Sekiro sprinkles

Mans said the aegis was good and stopped using it "it doesn't fit my play style" like he has one

a lot of people are hating on the bosses, but they tend to never use their resources like fable or consumables or trying a different weapon type. There is nothing wrong with trial and error it is literally the same for any souls game, you will die multiple times, it seems when people die in this game they have less patience.

You were not able to jump attack your way to victory with 100 strength. Unlucky..

People in chat are hating this game for the sake of hating this game. Literally no other reason. So youre mad cause you cant bullsh*t your way through the game? And then you get even madder that the game punishes you for trying to do so? This is like playing Elden Ring without Torrent, or Sekiro without Parrying, or Dark Souls without Rolling. Some bosses in this game require you to parry, some require you to block, and some require you to avoid their attacks. Its just petty to criticize a game that is supposed to be played a certain way, just because youre not willing to play it the way youre supposed to. And suddenly, a SOULSLIKE game is being criticized and called a "rip-off" and "discount ER" cause its doing a good job at being SOULS-LIKE. A valid point is the camera during bossfights, as the FoV is too small. And thats pretty much also the only valid point of criticism thats been said during this entire playthrough. The argument, that the delayed attacks are unfair, falls apart the moment you rewatch the bossfight a second time. The timing of the attacks are delayed, but they are painfully obvious to predict. Literally. Only a toddler would have problems predicting when the delayed attacks are going to hit. Its just a hard game.

Let's ignore the suboptimal...well...almost everything about his build making the game seem more difficult and just critique the pure gameplay. Blocking is so much better than dodging in this game, yet he refuses to adapt and just plays the game exactly as he would a normal souls game. Aside from the obvious allowing you to regen block dmg or avoid dealing with lingering hitboxes, you get to see/hear exactly when attacks hit to internalize patterns and learn to perfect block them that much faster. Never uses fable arts, rarely uses legion arm...I'm convinced you could give Asmon 5 different tools to hammer in a nail with, come back in an hour and he's got a bloody forehead talking bout "Bro, that nail had some janky ass hitboxes."

This is the guy that beat Elden Ring by brainlessly spamming jump attack on dual halberts. I'm not surprised he's complaining about bad boss design when he's ignoring the core mechanics i.e perfect guarding and legion arm, fable arts. If you're going to dodge instead of perfect guarding , you should at least not be slightly heavy 😂 It's not the delayed attacks make the game harder, it's your own negligence and inability to adapt.

If I ever got into a fist fight with asmon I'd delay all my punches ez

Really feels like people have a bias against this game because it's not made by fromsoft, like they approach it more critically just because of that fact and are more harsh on the game because of that fact Personally, if someone actually good at these games like ONGBAL (that one insane sekiro gameplay dude) likes it, then I trust his judgement

I am actually impressed that he finished the game with so few armor/resistance upgrades.

I think Asmon should pay for a third of these games retail price, since he doesn't use like 70% of the games functions when he plays them. Seriously, how did this guy ever beat Sekiro... No parrys what so ever, no adapting to the boss' rythm and movements... No legion arms... He doesn't even use the weapon's fables... Literally unga bunga dodge and hit...

"what am I gonna do with a katana" *literally the best weapon in the game*

Only Asmon will beat a game using almost zero mechanics of the actual game

This game was such a surprise, last game that made me this excited to keep playing was elden ring. Imagine if this studio had a AAA budget ☠️

Asmon definitely went into all-out copium mode during the Nameless Puppet fight. Saying that there's no skill involved and only memorization... that boss has the most fair attack telegraphs of almost any enemy in the game, and arguably more so than most Fromsoft bosses. He literally wasn't even paying attention to the mechanics and just focused on whining and arguing with his chat. You can clearly see the cue for you to deflect on almost all of his attacks, and in phase 2 you can dodge everything he does and get behind him for a counter attack if you just pay attention to when he jumps at you. That boss fight has great rhythm to it and arguably stands among the best bosses in the genre in terms of mechanics.

Skill issue not game issue.

just looking at his defense ring, capacitor, armor ect. he's barely optimizing any of them properly. having 20%ish damage reduction by this point in the game through those is very plausible even before the capacity stat buff. its the difference between getting 2 shot vs living even getting 3 times before needing to heal. He might just be the only person to die to the corrupted parade master more than 2 or 3 times. its the first boss's moveset + new monster arm moves. He's also not using the resistance ampoule things that boost status resistance significantly to avoid getting statuses during bosses. He complains that the moves aren't as fluid or whatever but.. what does that mean? they're a bit weird because they're moving in ways only a puppet can? if you know how each combo starts and when it ends, you can internalize it and parry or dodge then counter after the combo is done. Playing this game by not trying to learn anything and just by being reactionary is a recipe for disaster. At points he acknowledges what he needs to dodge and how to deal with moves and is unable to execute on that. which is fine- Its always easier said than done but knocking the game it and saying the animation or hitboxes are bad is just cope.

You have to actually fight in this this game. You can’t really out level or become op. In Elden ring he struggled with most bosses he actually had to fight. He didn’t even think to mix any dodging for position against Walker of Illusions in that small ass room. As soon chat told him to dodge, he beat the boss 😂😂

SKILL ISSUES. NO LIE.

Souls games were always about recognizing and memorizing boss attack patterns. It just happens that you can overpower and brute force your way in some of these games like spamming jump attacks in Elden Ring or using magic which lessens or eliminates the need to learn the boss. I'd say Lies of P is closer to Sekiro than anything.

This game is great. I'm currently on ng+2. You get extra p-organ node phase 6 and phase 7 (phase 6 was ng+1, phase 7 showed up in ng+2) With new and interesting upgrades. Like being able to equip 5 amulets instead of 4. Also you get upgraded versions of certain amulets. I got a +1 increased ergo amulets. +2 motivity, technique and advance amulets (+9 stat) The enemies are alot tankier and they hit crazy hard. I have nearly 100 in health stat and I get 2 or 3 shot very easily. You also get upgraded version of the armour items. Like Lada disruption cartridge +2 ect. Going for 100% achievements.

I lost track of how many times I've yelled, "use your fable!" At the screen...

This guy is the only guy, at least that I’ve seen and heard, that thinks the bosses in this game are garbage. Other than some of the delayed attacks, they’re all pretty balanced. Nameless Puppet is immaculate.

Just finished the 17 hour part one, can't wait to watch this! Also by the sounds of the comments that's unfortunate, man's gotta adapt

Couldn’t disagree more the bosses are the best part of the game

Off.. It was so painful watching his Simon fight. Except the facts in every comment to this video, I want to address the attacks he is talking about. 1. The hammer being off-screen. Yes, it is off-screen, but you should not focus on the weapon anyway, but on the boss, and his moves are pretty perfectly telegraphed. The hammer down with which he spent about 10 minutes debugging: you can see the boss leaning back, on only one leg. The animation starts ~2 seconds before the hit and it is very slow. There is only one such attack in that fight that uses that animation, and it is the hammer down. 2. The other attacks, all of them are perfectly telegraphed. Again, don't look for the weapon, but for the boss, the weapon will always be there, isn't going anywhere. Many of the FS Bosses have huge weapons difficult to track, but he didn't have problems with those bosses. 3. In the second phase, the boss has some mechanics that come from above, those are stupid, but they are easily avoidable if you keep moving, And they don't one shoot you. 4. Some attacks are, indeed, pretty fast, but not a problem for Perfect Parry, which the game pushes into people. Can be done without parry as well, but harder. The combat style is a player's choice. But, a problem about the quick attacks is the he tried to heal himself during each of those attacks, something he knows to not do in FS games... 5. I found it extremely funny that he says that this boss is bad, and moments later, says that Malikets is a great design. In phase 2, 90% of Maliketh's attack come from offscreens because the boss moves a lot. And 70% of his attacks are from above. But, nobody will contradict that Maliketh is a great boss. I always believed that this is a "double standards" situation. If From Software does it, then it is amazing. For example: Maliketh, all dragons, all Gargoyles, Manus in DS1, Astel, Oceiros in DS3, Priscilla, Seath and many more. I didn't even add Bloodborne, which is full of broken bosses... Actually, I will add: Darbeast, Ebrietas, Amygdala, Moon Presence, Mergo, One Reborn, Shadow of Yharhnam, Cleric Beast, Ludwig (First Phase), Laurence . All those bosses are full of attacks which come from off-screen, or jump attacks which make you lose the location of the boss, or their model makes it very difficult to see the attack. But, nobody says that the bosses are bad. But when someone else does it (Lies of P, Nioh), then it is trash. There is an equivalent in DS and Elden Ring for each boss in Lies of P, and all those bosses were praised in FS, but not here... And there are still players who beat those games with lv1 and no hit... Anyway, when he returned, he played much better. This shows that he learned the fights, which is great. Sadly, he returned with the mentality: I"It is not that I am bad at the game, because I beat every game like this." The game was designed to be hard and he proved it by beating the puppet in such a beautiful way. And the guy in the chat is right, Souls games are about memorizing the attack patterns. All bosses have different timings, damage, effect, animations. You Have to memorize them in order to be able to react to them. And I am sure he knows it. He memorized all the attacks of every boss he ever fought in every game he ever played. Your mind does it by itself.

asmon went full darksydephil

Asmon raging at Walker of Illusions is actually too funny 😂😂

Gotta say this is an L take from asmon, if Sekiro had the choice to just use heavy weapons and mash your head against the keyboard, he would have taken that route instead of actually learning to play the game, and he'd be saying the exact same thing about it as he is here.

I love this game (NG++ finished, all endings with all items collected and all side quests), and I have enjoyed Asmon's videos/streams pretty much since he started making content for WoW. However, I think it does have to be said that he isn't the most flexible player in the world. When a tactic isn't working, he refuses to exercise any form of problem solving and just throws himself against the wall over and over until his limited tactic finally sticks due to RNG. I saw him doing the same thing in AC6 and a few of the other souls-likes. It quickly builds into him being annoyed at the game when he isn't using 90% of the systems, skills and resources given to him. You can either play the long game of memorising every move a boss can make whilst figuring out where your limited playstyle finds it's openings, or you can play smart and flexible in your approach. He chooses to take the longest, most painful route more often than not and complains that a game is poorly designed.

Asmon : Theres no fluidity in the animation, They just attack. Also Asmon : Doesn’t know how to time the parry.

I love Asmon but hes too much of a stubborn idiot. He handicaps himself by inventing into ONLY strength and doesn't put much in capacity or stamina making it so he can't wear ANY damage, status or special status resistance armour, he doesn't use his legion arm ever and never uses his fable arts and then he says things like "this game is trying too much to be hard". No. He just chooses to just bash his head against a wall for hours instead of learning to fix the issues. I wouldn't usually care because he wants to play how he want to play and I respect that but hes convincing chat that this game is harder then it actually is, not saying the game isn't hard though because its definitely one of the harder souls like games out there. Edit: That being said I do still agree with the things he said at 9:12:15

Here you have the typical gameplay of every "Souls are too hard" dude.

If you throw a shot put at any enemy with the white staggerable status on the health bar you can instant stagger and get the fatal attack off easy. It helps soooo much in boss fights when your struggling to get a fully charged heavy strike in. It can also stop a move from happening if you wait for a attack animation to start and then throw a shot put they get staggered backwards and it stops the current attack. Very useful.

While it makes sense to a certain point what asmon is pointing out. Its just the way that he looks at the game is the more imbalance and bias one. Like if the game caters to his taste of this one dimensional “i brute force everything big d*ck them till their dead” approach works the game to an extent is good or alright even if the game is in general bad. But if it doesn’t, its hard for him to really like the game. He will just double down on every little flaws the game has for not being in line with his preferred game style. Every player has their preference but while maybe the gameplay for slow and big weapons may have a balancing issue its a more of a asmon problem than him making it seems that its the game. Lies of p is bloodborne in adventure mobs Sekiro in mini and main bosses. Simple as that

LOL, he actually tried to say Souls games don’t involve memorising movements in encounters/boss fights. I’ve finished all of the souls games, sekiro, elden ring, bloodbourne. You 100% need to understand your opponent by knowing their moveset. He talks absolute bull sometimes. Then tells the chat to ‘educate yourself’, meanwhile bashing his head against a wall and ignoring the game mechanics repeatedly. What a joke lol.

can't believe he passed on the parry katana, if u time the heavy it has a 2-3 second window for parrying with it on a charged heavy

I have mad respect for Asmon and his takes on games but hearing him whine the whole time during the last two bosses was so disappointing. Typical fallback of players who struggle in a Souls game, just call it bad game design. Absolute L take and super disappointing to see from Asmon.

"Oh, use the lamp. Good idea." Proceeds to not use the lamp.

I love this game beat it 2 times already. I beat it once before the patch and once after the patch and it was merciless before the patch. This game nailed that souls feel for me which soulslike games never do. These devs deserve praise, they were making phone games then released this masterpiece like wow.

Asmon playing games is always a hard watch for me, get's super tiring when he plays every game using the same one strategy.

Taking hits to the face with no effort to block, parry or dodge ‘This is terrible!’

Let’s be real here. Asmon doesn’t even “play” these games at this point. Lies of P practically drip feeds you the story of the game (without even reading any of the items that explain everything) yet he still has no idea what is going on or why he is doing what he is doing. Of course a boss isn’t as fun to beat when you have literally no clue who or what it means in the spectrum of the game. STOP PLAYING EVERY GAME LIKE ITS DARK SOULS. Yes it is a souls-like but it is it’s own game. He said it himself, he was not having fun in sekiro due to being stubborn and playing as if it was DS, but the second he allowed himself to learn a new game he loved it. Between the weapon modifications, Legion arms, fable arts, grindstones, and amulets, this game has arguably the most unique (and easy) play styles. Yet 30+ hours into the game asmon has made one weapon mod, never used a legion arm to any useful degree, and levels up straight motivity for the meme. No shit you don’t like the game, since we love DS references so much that would be like playing dark souls 1 without the ability to roll or block. It is ignorant to play a game and ignore all the base combat functionalities, then turn around and critique it like your opinion truly matters. But the saddest thing is that it does. If you played the game yourself and truly got into it the way it was made to be. You know it is an absolutely beautiful experience from start to finish. And there is no need to compare it to ER or DS, let it be it’s own good game.

Glad to see most people agree with me on Asmons opinion on the bosses being dead wrong. He's just bad at boss fights we all know that, that's why its so enjoyable to watch lol! But yea sometimes hes so bad he blames the game which in this case is not cool cuz this should be GOTY

"I dont think the boss is hard" Proceeds to get ass beat by boss for hours. Its learning the dance. Brute forcing the dance with 2 left feet is always going to feel awful

You know it's bad when xqc's playthrough seems to be more open minded and positive. So riddled with irony the second half of the video, I hope he grows.

holy shit he actually listened to his chat a little tiny bit for once

After a few attempts at the nameless puppet I decided to try out the noblesse oblige fully upgraded on him. If you use the fable art on him it takes away like half his health. For anyone having trouble 👍

Cool watching stream after defeating the game seeing how different players approach the bosses.

This is like watching someone go through a door by slamming their head against it until it breaks open instead of using the doorknob and then complaining about how badly designed it is

Noticed straight away as soon as he got a high dps weapon, instead of learning when to dodge, when to block and when to parry, he just W keys headfirst through the bosses offence and calls it bad game design because his getting hit so much, or cant see the bosses movesets. There is no need to be stuck completely up Manus's ass, he requires a little distance, his big slow swings are quite easy to parry, and sneaking hits in when his recovering his stance will break his posture. Also at this point in the game you can respec a lot of different mechanics (your skill points, skill tree and puppet arm) to better optimise the character. The weapon handle is modifyable to scale better with your stats. In the Manus fight his given up on using whetstones, doesnt use throwables or other buffs/debuffs, didnt use his fable attacks. Walker of illusions was a perfect example of how his unwillingness to try a different strategy in the fight made him lose over and over and over again until he read someone elses suggestion to side step instead blocking.

It's not like Asmon is my favorite streamer but I don't hate him either, I watch him from time to time, he is a pretty cool guy. But it's amazing to see him ignoring the armor system of the game, still running around with gear from the 1st Chapter to like close to end game areas, he never used the Legion arm he has equipped, never uses any pots to help against de-buffs, plays with probably the most slow ass weapon in the game charging attacks every time(and he wonders how does he get git),never uses fable attacks ,I don't know about the quality of his weapons since I never played any ,I hate their move sets but they do seem kind of bad. So he is literally IGNORING every mechanic and tool the game offers and then spits out this horrendous takes about "no fluidity in animations, no tells, delayed attacks are so bad omg its disgusting ,this boss attacks make no sense omg why isn't the game's bosses telegraphed with 3 scripted attacks AND tells with them so I can parry them all and kill the boss in 1 minute." I don't know what's worse.His denial to adapt 'cause he just wants to brute force like a cave man blindly mashing Light, Heavy and Charged attacks and maybe a parry here and there? Or his brain dead chatters sayin the same or even worse atrocious takes just to get a little bit of recognition and copium juice from the streamer instead of accepting they just suck at the game. It's really sad because he has this big platform/audience that will listen to whatever he says and then go out in the internet and spread whatever bullshit he said so the game just gets bad recognition/reputation for no reason except for the streamer being dogshit at it.

holy crap downgrade to a basic frame in order to equip a arm you barely use then gets slapped around cause you're practically naked.

99% of his complaints would absolutely not be an issue if he was willing to adapt and use all the tools at his disposal. This game is so good. Laxasia took me 4 hours to beat and I enjoyed every minute of it without raging. The only time I got angry was when I was stuck in a corner getting gang banged by the Black Rabbits.

The worst part about this is that he is persuading people to stay away from the game because of a skill issue

Thought this dude was supposed to be good at these souls like games and he was having a hard time after they nerfed the bosses as well 😂 Oh and no game is perfect so stop your bitching about every little thing. 9/10 game ratings for this company first game ever!!!!

Bro face tanks 85% of the boss’ attacks then complains about the bosses being cheap 😂

it is wild how much more patience he will have for elden ring or any other fromsoft game, but when the game is made by a different team his patience and willingness to learn certain mechanics seems to just disappear really just comes across as a fromsoft fan boy

30 minutes in and he’s blaming physics 😂

I'm currently at the swamp. I hope I can finish it this weekend, been a great experience so far

lol 'rarely do i think to myself i've played badly after i lose to a boss' WELL Asmongold buddy let me tell ya: you played badly this entire fucking playthrough lmao.

I knew he was gonna get stuck on Laxasia and start blaming the game

I like when Asmon ranted about how he felt about Simon's mechanics for 30 minutes and then taking it personally when others didn't feel that way lmao

Asmon's complaints about the combat mostly come down to the fact that the cues for when you need to react to boss attacks are much more subtle than those of most other good soulslike games. It can definitely be frustrating, but he's acting like he's stating an objective fact by calling that "bad design", but it's not inherently bad. The fact is that this game's combat forces you to pay very close attention to what is happening in order to time your responses correctly or to even figure out how to do that in the first place. Sometimes I think the devs went a bit overboard with that aspect of the game, but it's not an inherently bad thing and I think that people who like these types of games for challenging combat have a legitimate reason for appreciating how it was designed. Asmon is just frustrated because he does not like having to focus that hard on those kinds of things; he generally prefers to try to get through these types of games using character power to ignore a good chunk of the mechanics and the lack of poise, high boss hp etc. make it harder to do that in this game if you don't use consumables and other alternative player mechanics.

Asbald: Game is too dark, Boss hard. Doesn’t use lamp,legion,parry and has lowest armor,slightly heavy weight 🙄

How the fuck is he coping at Simon Manus Phase 1? Literally easier than the fucking Parade Puppet

This game is not perfect but I feel like Asmon was unfair in some of his criticisms. The attack timing is needs to be learned, it’s just part of this games mechanics. I found it really satisfying to finally start parrying everything. It seems that he wanting it to be more like Dark Souls, rather than it’s own thing.

He tries to brute force the boss fights by continuously hitting them until he gets hit and then complains that the boss design is bad. After like 5 tries I was able to avoid or block Manuse's 1st phase attacks so well that I only had to use 1-2 pulse cells. If all the attacks are so easily red and you wouldn't have to learn the patterns, there would be zero challenge.

This man just be yapping but not learning from his mistakes D: Love the vids regardless@

I think for me to bosses clicked once parrying them more felt more rewarding than dodging

Soulslike-Golf: each death to a boss counts as a "stroke" see if you can beat Asmon's score: First boss - 0 Donkey Guy - 0 The Police - 3 Fuoco - 4 Bishop - 13 Black Rabbit Brotherhood - 4 King of Puppets - 25 Victor - 5 Green Monster - 51 Walker - 16 Corrupted Parade - 9 Black Rabbit Round Two - 4 Door Guardian - 2 Laraxsia - 37 Manus - 26 Nameless Puppet - 34 Total: 233

Bro doesn’t even try to deflect, no wonder he doesn’t like it

How is that even possible to play all those soulslike games and still be so arrogant, ignorant and terrible? That's mindblowing how bad he is with those games because he ignores all the mechanics. Same situation as with Wo Long. Absolutely ridiculous 😂

This game is great I’ve beaten it yesterday and have been playing ng+1. The biggest thing for me and idk for others is the fact it feels like sekiros systems don’t mix well with bloodborne systems. It feels as if there fighting each other. Plus the bosses have a lot of plus frames on their attacks which make it hard to counter because of spacing but overall great game

I believe its great that the bosses have different timings all the time because this way you have to base the block on cue and not on timing, which makes it way more interactive and difficult to beat them.

this guy really wanted the fable art recharge on death so bad but i never once saw him use the fable arts in the first place lmaoo. just to switch from sword to spear.

06:30:08 - "She just attacks non-stop...", many bosses in Lies of P do this when you don't perfect guard anything. You can play the game however you find fun, of course. Dodge and hard block to your content. But if you want breaks, perfect guarding will often stop their combos and present an opening. Sometimes they end the combo early, other times it gives you a mini-stagger.

Ive never see a full grown man complain and cry more in my life then asmond, its hilarious

the studio that made lies of p actually rivals fromsoft lol. Imagine with AAA budget

Bosses in Lies of P have: 1. Snappy animations 2. Misleading animations 3. Lack of fluidity with jump and distance attacks These 3 things force the player to anticipate what a boss will do rather than react. You can improve stats and parry more and use more abilities, but that doesn't change the fact that the bosses are not fun to engage with. I would support this game's difficulty if the animations were such that you could react rather than have to memorize their timing. I honestly believe that people defend the lack of fluid and consistent animations to make themselves feel good about themselves for beating the game. If that's what you're really doing, that's fine. Just be honest that the game would be more fun if the "snappiness" was removed from the attack animations. Being honest helps future souls-like games become more fun by adhering to higher standards, not artificial difficulty tuning.

I love having the vods posted. I am not at all on Asmon's schedule, so it's good to catch stuff later. I regularly pull up VODs of his of whatever game I am playing at the time. (Like WoW classic) and watch/listen while playing.

Asmon pulling *yet another* Sekiro/Wo Long lmao. "The bosses are garbage, The animations are bad and attacks are 1 frame and unreactable." Basically if a game won't let him just spam R1 or rely on cheese like Dual Halbardo jump attack then game bad. For reference, watch any gameplay of his from Final Fantasy 16 and you can see on the lower right "attack" icon that he just goes ham on the R1-adjacent button and hopes for the best. PROs of this strategy of his: - Very little learning required for each game and predictably bad game performance resulting in easy "mald" entertainer content. CONs: - Gets old when he never changes his strats for dozens of hours to the point of feeling scripted. - Bad takes due to being literally too clueless to be able to analyze the mechanics and possibly hurting the reception of the game because of his massive platform. FromSoft and Team Ninja will survive lol, but the Lies of P studio is new and those kinds of uninformed critiques by someone with a big following could affect the way the devs patch the game/work on future projects for the worse.

Plenty of people first try these bosses which literally shows that they are enough tells and not BS

Laxasia fight gives me for honor vibes. tons of grabs, kick, delayed attacks and sometimes spam

I’ll admit some of the bosses did absolutely seem fucking unfair, but calling it a bad game is just him crying about it because he’s pissed. It is a fucking excellent game that needs some balancing
