Hearing that the combat isn't that great definitely makes me lean towards not picking this game up outside of a sale.

@constantinesoldatos 9 месяцев назад

Don't take Skillup's word for it, most reviewers praise the combat so far and the impact/sound issues were fixed already in a new update (you can find a video of that being showcased).

@constantinesoldatos 9 месяцев назад

@@KB-ql8cx The reason I'm not taking his word is because he didn't clarify if he played the ''fixed'' version or not. To me he's just another reviewer and I'd rather wait for a general consensus after release before I jump to conclusions. Also he pointed out how combat itself isn't really special when we have examples of being able to combo between sets of weapons/stances including ranged (something also confirmed by marketing). If what we see works at release (emphasis on IF) then it pushes the boundaries of soulslike combat by quite a bit . So it makes me wonder how much time he had to really experiment since he did mention being limited to one class when other reviewers weren't. Don't jump into any conclusions just yet.

@sacrosanct23 9 месяцев назад

A big part the loop in Lotf was long grinding routes against mobs that got trashier and easier over time because of the xp multiplier mechanic. I imagine they are continuing that philosophy as it works well with an open world that is this much larger. The challenge shifted between skill check and long attrition run, and when an area stopped providing checks you might make another quick pass for secrets and then move on.

Ever since his review of Deep Rock Galactic, I don't really trust his opinion about combat to align with mine. In his review of DRG he pretty much said combat was the weakest part of the game (and he only played super easy difficulty), whereas I thought combat is the most fun aspect of the game and pushing into higher difficulties just made it better.

@smexehcougah3 9 месяцев назад

If the dual-world thing makes you think of Soul Reaver, then I'm not sure he had the same take away from the Soul Reaver/LoK series that most of the rest of us did. If anything it was the story and the idea of determinism vs. fatalism with Raziel fighting to forge his own destiny while Kain tries to warn him that he already tried that and it doesn't work. So to be reminiscent of the Soul Reaver series you would need a compelling protagonist with a great villain and lots of voice acting.

I remember Darksiders 2, one of my personal favorite games of all time, having similar mechanics in the last 2 sections/world maps of the game. You gain a time travel gadget that opens specific portals throughout the level, everytime you need to find a way to pass a certain obstacle you would travel to the past and change the way things were, then go back to the present and the path appears cleared. God of War Ascension, despite being very flawed and short for a GoW game, did similar thing with time, aging obstacles, or changing their appearance too. I really love when games do that with their level design.

I'm very glad you mentioned the hit detection, not many people have mentioned that, and I noticed that in the extended gameplay trailer they released. A big part for me is the combat in a video game, I was hoping to see it be a bit more fleshed out. I understand certain mechanics are definitely going to hold it up, but for how long?

You hit on the one thing I was worried about: floaty combat. Still, I'm very interested in this.

The "Soul Cairn" looks like the optional/puzzle solving realm. I might stubborny use that as my "main route" first go of the game and see if it's actually like a second stage for replayability.

I absolutely will be starting my first play through as a condemned just like my first play through on elden ring I started as a wretch. I like the idea of learning the game as weak as I can be instead of steamrolling through as a strong starting character

The lantern ability is what makes me want to play it.

Hahaha, the second I saw you review this I knew the Soul Reaver reference wouldn't be far away. That was literally my first thought after watching some of the gameplay too.^^
