NEW Giga Tips Video for LOTF: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ywf_Yr8tP8c.html welp, turned out I was right: WATCH MY REVIEW FOR MORE UPDATED OPINIONS Lotf Review: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X-slZgXT_-s.html Edit: 10/12 a NEW patch dropped day of embargo that mostly fixed my performance problems, ignore the criticism about performance or delays in the video. New respect for the devs earned. Anywho, what do you think of the game?
So, basically, the only flaws you commented on are: performance, too many mobs, a few AI problems and sometimes lock-on problems? Guess one can live with it (with good hardware :D). It's funny though how all content creators complain about sprinting. Usually you'd hear that the character should move faster and the game would be artificially prolonged because the character moves like a turtle. Now they made it fast and ppl are complaining again :D. If anything, I'd rather take too fast than too slow. Isn't sprinting just a mean to get from one location to another while you are exploring or lost?
@@SCSabre Right, like one of the gripes has been "solved" with another gripe (too many mobs to go through to get to your death spot, and the player runs too fast).
I swear patches are starting to be the downfall of games. Devs rely on it to much. It’s to the point they would bring out incomplete games sell it for full prices without testing their games, let the gaming fans find all the problems and say let do a patch. Laziness
My biggest worry right now is the "too many bad guys" line. One of the reasons From Software's games are always so good is that they never lean on overwhelming you with mobs... every single fight is always dangerous and meaningful, no swarms necessary. If there are too many enemies, then the developer fundamentally misunderstands what makes this genre work.
@@trademarcguy2800I was gonna say this too, but even then it brings up a valid question. Why would the developers of Lords of the Fallen, copy one of the most common complaints people had, with the most hated game in the franchise? Seems like a pretty obvious mistake.
@@nuh-uhbro765after watching a few trailers I feel the mob density is intentional at least in the world of the dead, as the longer you stay the greater the threat becomes. That's their intention at least.
Its only if you miss the correct parry timing. If you do it at the right time you take no damage and riposte. If you mess up and only block then you can attack and get the health back like bloodborne
Just have to say really appreciate this video, you delivered feedback and thoughts on areas with issues without it coming across as nitpicking or just negative for the sake of it. Just seemed genuine compared to some others I've heard, a lot of the discourse is either total defending of the game or just laying into it and you gave both good and bad. Good stuff. I'm still picking it up but it is very helpful knowing all of this going in.
if there's any solace, the devs have been listening to feedback on bugs and such, one game breaking bug i had was fixed just before this video was put together. so they're working for sure. they just haven't quite smoothened out the fps on my and some others ends, but I'm sure they'll deliver in the end.
Not impressed, in the last 4 years, 99% of games are launched half baked, HFW took 9 months to be playable, Jedi Survivor like 6 months, Hogwarts Legacy and God of War were decent as well as FF16. I've got AC Mirage, I just played for 2 hours, I've got to wait some months until is finished. I've purchased deluxe preorder version just for the perks but I'm aware that they shan't be ready for day 1. I've got this one in digital deluxe, but I'll play it for some hours and then wait to be properly fixed. Thank you for the info mate!!!
When i heard "clunky" on a Soulslike combat description, it's a deal breaker for me. I've seen somes stream content and the camera is weird. Hope they can fix this.
I think the reason the mobs are so large is to account for the wither damage. Having big trash mobs would be a really good source to recover hp without burning healing
it looks that way but when you play the game its not the case at all, you should be instead hitting the thing that GOT you that wither dmg, instead of some groupies that just spawned in. the wither mechanic is only beneficial for you in 1v1s, which the game rarely has
@PWARGaming yeah I'm noticing that the more I watch let's plays of this game. Cool ideas in theory but we will see how it works out as the game matures.
@@definitelyadarkangel9225 parry timing is pretty tight, but not as tight. what makes it easier is enemies have super slow telegraphed attacks so timing is easier
It almost seems like they made the game with coop in mind, before thinking about single player. Having not played it, that's just one of my observations.
All the gameplay i have seen h including this one, have really dull weapon sounds. Is that a recording issue or does the game actually sound like that?
Finally! A RU-vidr not giving us a hype job preview. It's really hard to find any reviews that don't over exaggerate everything. This game looks good but the running speed ...what were they thinking? It looks so stupid.
I was thinking to preorder this just like Ive did with Lies of P, but seeing the videos its not that good as lies of p, idk I may be wroing, but combat is kinda dull and clunky and blocking is ..meh Idk,will see the reviews and more footage to actually buy it
I find it a little odd how folks are suuuuuper critical with soulslike games but never as critical with fromsoft games. Like the lies of P complaints from enemy attack patterns to skill trees having "important moves" locked. Anyone could have said the same about sekiro but if they do, they are called scrubs and told to git gud. But any soulslike that is not fromsoft? Flawed in some way and incomparable to the OGs i guess...
Yea..no thank you on this one..I'll fire up another playthrough of ER or Lies of P before i would even try this,i watched a ton of playthroughs and most just ran past mobs..i see no fun in running for my life.
I mean come on the first game was hot trash did we really expect it to be even a 9/10 I'd be impressed if it hits a 7/10. From everything I've seen art is awesome but apart from that it's still stiff and the combat is average IMO
It releases in 5 days. It's done. It's gonna be rough. No public demo is a factor of them being worried about the reception because of the performance issues.
literally, every streamer, asmong, cohcarnage, cowboy, rui, hardcore souls fans like those (excluding asmon he’s braindead) have said it’s good. Lol some minor issues but nothing game breaking. And there’s gonna be a day one patch .
My first impression is that the sound design sounds really bad? No satisfying clang like in lies of P or sekiro for the parry, and all the attacks sound very thuddy, like using a hammer with a pillow on the end
Honestly i just cant wait for good old invasions , elden ring invasions became too meta too quick. I remember everyone was already abusing bleed week 2 of launch in elden ring
I've been avoiding videos because I wanna go in blind but watched this one. Luckily it seems like most of the issues presented in this video can be fixed in a patch or two. I mean momentum based movement is kinda jank but it's probably something you'd get used to after a while and start compensating for, like how in all the Dark Souls games you learn to compensate around corners for when your camera is about to shit the bed.
@@runner12blade I don't mind the game having a bit of jank though if the overall experience is fun. And hey look at the Nioh beta. Movement in that game was so wonky during it's alpha and beta playtest periods because they had it to where even locked on William would still move with a full range of 360 degree motion, which made locking on virtually pointless, and combat felt jank too because of it but they fixed it by release. Not saying that'll happen here, but just saying that it is possible.
I absolutely hate the fast running and the super jump doge as well as the goofy Stance, I hope that they can add stance options if then just fix the current GOOFY stance/run/doge
My issue with the game purely from watching gameplay footage, is how goofy the animations and visual effects look. Not to mention how weak the sounds are. Running almost looks like you're using cheats to make the character faster, it's just absurdly fast and goofy looking. And the attacks and sounds of attacks sound like there's no weight behind it. It just makes the game come off as cheap and arcade-y. Obviously if the game itself has performance issues, that will be a big issue as well. Personally I think the game doesn't look super polished. But we'll see on release.
I was 100% it would be a flop. The movement is the dealbreaker for me. I don't know how you can see that running speed as a dev and just go That's perfect. Shit makes me motion sick.
Great preview, definitely buying day 1 on ps5. Some issues you mentioned are corrected at some point. I think they are tolerable for now, especially while waiting for Fromsofts next dlc
Thanks for the honest and critical review. So far it seems like most people who had early access have only been giving overwhelmingly positive reviews, even from other RU-vidrs I trust. I might hold off from a day 1 purchase now and wait for much more in depth reviews from YTers and the general public.
Man if that’s how I lived my life I’d miss out on a lot of good stuff. Form your own opinion on shit, quit caring wtf other people have to say. Most people have said the game is amazing anyway.
tbf I'm more critical of action games, so I think the general souls audience will probably like it. I'm just throwing performance caution due to my experience, and couple others I talked to/seen. I think if performance was a non-issue, I would be there with those other tubers for the most part. but even fextra, ruri, cohh, etc, admitted to pc issues, so its not like I'm a unicorn with that opinion.
Is all relative . Most early reviewers and post game reviews , gave witcher3 a perfect score . Angry Joe a popular review site , gave it perfect score ,legendary status.. I knew that was odd , because witcher 1 and 2 used to have one of the worse combat system in any game and i wanted to see if they fixed it. when i got the game , discovered to my no surprise ,in no time, the Combat and Combat system ,was very close to a total failure.. The hit detection system is awfully bad . If you are using a great sword that is very large and try to hit lets say a Ghoul , you will miss many times ,even with the creature right in front of you. Sometimes it feels as if you are fighting with toothpicks and not with a sword.. and to make things worse Withcher only use swords in combat and a next to useless short bow that do so little damage. So far , that game is by far one of the worse game ever made its combat system , not only the hit detection is wrong , but is also incredibly boring too. THere is no block ,and the parry system is just smashing button contest. Simply very bad.. yet 99% of the reviews game it a perfect 10 score. So will like to see a review of witcher 3 , in this channel , if they don't see anything wrong with the combat.. then is because they are idiots. Since it was always negative in their reviews previous combat system in witcher 1 and witcher 2. The game only good thing was graphics and the rpg part ,but combat was terrible , not like skyrim or Souls games. The character development was non existent , since all you can do was change the skin of your swords.. and that's it.. you don't earn any meaningful improvement or new skills in that game.. Basically witcher 3 , right from the first seconds of gameplay , to the game end plays exactly the same way. And RPG without character development is a contradiction. Not surprising their next game Cyberpunk 2077 its combat is guns but its awful too , very mediocre.. It had to be the shitty engine they use. can't be that they are not aware of it. they moving to unreal engine finally for future. The too fast running speed issue appears to be there . Games all of them ,need to have a true walking speed and true running speed. Elden Ring get it right everything. IF you have heave armor plate is slow and if using clothing armor ,you move fast.
@@xgrimmdisasterx3935 lol do you seriously not understand the purpose of pre-release reviews? Obviously no one can form their own opinion fully unless they've played the game themselves, but if there are issues or aspects of a game that don't appeal to certain people, then people can potentially be buying a game for $60+ and easily go past the return window before they realize the issues themselves. People with a platform with early access should be as critical and objective as possible so the audience can make an informed decision. It's a whole other story forming one's own opinion after beating a game, which is not what I was talking about....
@@CosmicPotato yeah, and do you understand that I don’t give a shit what he had to say? I don’t play PC. Probably just karma cuz PC gamers do nothing but talk shit about console gamers. So consider myself laughing on the inside hearing about PC issues. Boohoo for you guys
same problem from the first vid i saw about this game combat looks floaty not impactful goofy looking animations the roll looked stupid from waay back then. idk man i really wish for 2 soulslike back to back but i dont think so i knew there were gonna be problems because of unreal engine 5 and the audio is bad too when an enemy send you flying you do a lazy T pose like come on and don't forget they locked a class behind ng+ or you pay extra for it WHAT a class that just wild to me
literally, every streamer, asmong, cohcarnage, cowboy, rui, hardcore souls fans like those (excluding asmon he’s braindead) have said it’s good. Lol some minor issues but nothing game breaking. And there’s gonna be a day one patch .
Nah, literally, every streamer, asmong, cohcarnage, cowboy, rui, hardcore souls fans like those (excluding asmon he’s braindead) have said it’s good. Lol some minor issues but nothing game breaking. And there’s gonna be a day one patch .
even some people with good hardware experienced some, maybe its cpu dependent as well, idk. we just had lies of p, 120 fps smooth easy. near unanimous praise for performance. so we have plenty of comparisons to make, and this for me, has been bout as bad as wild hearts on pc.
I was about to preorder until I saw this. I will wait until the patches come out. Thanks for being honest. I swear some content creators are paid off or they get something for talking up a game. When I do eventually buy it, I look forward to your guides. You got me through lies of p
Or they're hardcore souls fans and got good. Yes it has issues but all of these builds are before the fixes. Literally all of the hardcore souls streamers enjoy and love it.
Or maybe, just maybe, those content creators are enjoying the game so much that the small things he is complaining about in this video is something they dont care about or dont even see them as problems because of how much they are enjoying the game.
so when I tried Mortal Shell, I lasted about 20min, absolutely hated the controls and that is my biggest fear for this game, any feedback? Also, can you only jump while running like early souls games?
I love the amount of enemies, it reminds me of Nioh 1&2. I hope it stays that way! Elden Ring felt too empty in parts of the open world and dark souls I always craved for more fights with mobs.
I think a heavy reason streamers are feeling bad about this game is after playing lies of P this is just slow in comparison with obnoxiousness to be obnoxious the one fight that felt unfair in lies of P is archbishop with the camera glitches its hard but fair this game seems to be hard for the wrong reasons
literally, every streamer, asmong, cohcarnage, cowboy, rui, hardcore souls fans like those have said it’s good who’s saying it’s bad . Lol some minor issues but nothing game breaking. And there’s gonna be a day one patch .
I really like the magic in this game, but watching gameplay kinda made me feel a tad bit motion sick, so I probably won’t get it. :/ They definitely should’ve had a beta like Lies of P, love that game, feels smooth and well designed.
Puzzles, platforms, enemies snipping off-screen and I've seen people with stuttering and crash problems.. the hit box of the big bosses and the infinite enemies sounds very annoying too. I'm cancelling my pre-order. I'm seeing too many things a don't like to risk it. Thanks for the video.
@@ryenmoore4606 yeah but that's the problem they acting like paid advertising for the game they don't want to lose early access next time around and why should anyone buy an unfinished game like a idiot so they can have the pleasure of charging you for a new skin and 20 big fixes that should have been done on release then we'll have people like you singing their praises telling people "the games come along way" like the DL2 community who act like abused housewives that are grateful for the smallest kindness. Did you not see enough in this video with your own eyes to know that whoever you've been watching is bought and owned by the game developers or the very least kissing ass.
@@ryenmoore4606 I bought FFXVI sight unseen based on pre-release videos from channels like Fextra etc. They all loved it! GOTY material!! And it turned out to be utter dogshit that I uninstalled after going through 4 hours of cripplingly boring cutscenes interrupted by maybe 6 minutes of gameplay. Do not trust any of them, wait for the game to come out and see what actual players are saying, that is my recommendation.
this is why i hate going to youtube to hear this crap, one person i trust says it is the best game ever, another person i also trust says it needs more work, this is why i love demos, u can make ur own damn mind, to be fair, i always thought there is something slightly off about this game from the footage i seen but i kept sayin to myself that i am the one who is mistaken, and this is why i still didn't preorder, i need reviews and steam reviews from people i know that won't lie.
It might only be me but the graphics there are not the same that we saw in those gameplay trailer. I hope they fix it before release because it doesn’t look great
Should have network test of some sort before releasing the game..but no. Why not scam people of it. I had my doubt because of the first lord of the fallen.
literally, every streamer, asmong, cohcarnage, cowboy, rui, hardcore souls fans like those (excluding asmon he’s braindead) have said it’s good. Lol some minor issues but nothing game breaking. And there’s gonna be a day one patch .
Nice to see a review that is not hyped up, I love the context of the game and how they improved light years from the OG, but I always had this feeling that either they’re going to pull off a shady micro transaction scheme or they game will be plagued with bugs at lunch. But I’m a weak souls fan waiting for that elusive Elden ring dlc and Lies of P wasn’t enough so I’m probably preordering this one
They can patch a lot of these concerns as we’re playing. Either way, I’m still very excited about this game, and to hear console actually runs better that make me very happy, as that’s all I play.
I’m with you. Handful of people said the game is amazing. Not great, amazing. All games have bugs and issues that need a few patches. People Need to stop being afraid to get a game because of a few bugs at launch. I don’t recall ANY game coming out perfectly.
@@gporr7004 it’s crazy, seeing all the people on here saying they’re canceling their pre order. Lol what a bunch of losers. The day someone’s opinion of something prevents me from experiencing it for myself… is a cold day in hell. I will decide for myself what I think of a game.
@@xgrimmdisasterx3935 Amen brother. Where do all these hyper critical clowns come from? They sound like a 5 year old girl when you serve them a delicious meal. I dont like that 🤣
@@xgrimmdisasterx3935 Exactly. So many times people hated games and I loved them. Even Starfield. I had fun with it for a bit but that’s my opinion and choice
the only honest review/ also if they really contacted those youtubers.... the pvp gonna suck they basically ruined elden ring with all their complaints
They should have released it as beta or early access and kept developing it to see what performance issues arose and fix them. There's no point in releasing a broken game.
If you came to the comments for quick context, buy the game on console amd also maybe don't try to run through mobs or at the very least don't just ignore ranged enemies. That's it video over.
I’m really glad you highlighted these issues because nobody else really seems to be, I’ve watched a lot of early impressions and they had me ready to play at launch. I’m still excited for the game but it’s good to know.
The main things that would matter to me personally, is the performance and the "momentum" section with attacks, movement and rolling just bringing you too far forwards. With that said, I'm excited to see if I can run it, and personally I'm building a new pc in a couple months, so hopefully by then the game is more optimised, plus I'd have a pretty good gaming. Excited.
I'm an old fart, and I certainly remember Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. You are probably one of only a handful of channels correctly pointing out that the dual-parallel-world-mechanic is not new. I've seen so many people incorrectly singing LotF's praises, like this is some revolutionary mechanic that's never been done before.
Most of these "issues" he speaks of just seem like unnecessary gripes....the game doesn't have to have the exact same run speed or rolls as dark souls to be good. Different can be nice. I'm looking forward to this game, and judging it for myself after playing.
Meh, just release it unfinished and full of bugs. The pre-order bunnies feed the broken release system regardless, so it makes no difference. Everyone knows a game isn't ready until 1.04. Elden ring included.
Thanks so much for mentioning the patch and performance issues fix. I've been looking for a comment on the state of the PS5 version as of today and you're the only one I could find! Much appreciated :)
Thanks for this video! I saw the title and thpught you would just bash it but i was pleasantly surprised! It was nice to get a more real and critical review of it without coming off as rude! I still okk forward to the game but my expectations have been tempered just a tad.
Lords of the Fallen Frame Rate - already requested a full refund on steam unfortunately ill just wait for the game to be fixed and ill enjoy Bg3 and lies of P with good optimization
im running an rtx 3070 with a ryzen 7 with the game saved to ssd and im not having any game struggles, or qulity issues except for the title screen, and it glitches and twitches and bugs out
Thank you for your review video my biggest concern with the game is in first lords of the fallen game you could not play with same character more than 3 gameplays and game locked your character after that, I hope in new game this isnt a thing
I will say that the reason they didn't do a demo was because it would have taken time and resources out of production. The game would end up in a sorrier state on launch. Glad to hear the new patch got rid of a lot of problems though!
Im burned out on masecore games. now im a super casual gamer , i dont have time to spend 1 week trying to beat a boss. or wtv. still, i like to watch the videos
People forget to realize that there's a quick dash by just tapping the dodge button and rolling is by tapping it twice while locked on. The distance is fine
@@ryenmoore4606 exactly, so if youre on a platform dont hit the button twice. People nit pick about the stupidest shit. How about point out the fact you have both options at your disposal instead of being locked into either option. I hated that about bloodborne. This is going to be an awesome feature, yet these crybabies seem to always find some thing negative to piss and moan about.
So...dude's crying about there being too many enemies in an area and worried that the PC version will not run well unless you have a God-tier rig. Sounds a lot like a git güd issue and a video being done by a PC master race fan boy. I'm buying this day 1 on PS5 and I will enjoy it no matter what.
