>In development for 10+ years>Finally came out yesterday>Already 0 threadsIs it really that bad?
I played the demo and liked it enough to order a copy. I decided to go physical this time so I won't be able to start it for a few days though.
we've had like 50 gorillion of these overly serious character action games without any real character since Nier Automata and basically none of them got it right.
>>719409338name 10
>>719409019It peaked at 3k players lol
>>719409019This all started as one guy in university making his dream game in UE4 back in 2014 after being motivated by an FF15 trailer, and now it's finally a finished game on shelves for everyone to experience. Proud of him for never giving up and bringing his dream to life.
>>719409019i don't understand why everyone's shitting on this gameok sure, if you're on PC you're getting fucked by bugsbut it works like a charm on the PS5. it wanted to be a stylish DMC action game and it is being pretty good at it. why the hate?
>>719409019People don't care about games like this anymore, they only want souls clones
>a game that was inspired by FF15>is as shit as FF15
>>719409019I don't care much for its aesthetics. The story and combat aren't be talked about as genre redefining or another solid hit in the action genre. This looks too much liked a failed Final Fantasy 15 clone. Which is surreal because Final Fantasy 15 itself is a failed Final Fantasy game that traded its turn based/hybrid RPG genre for poor man's action character game slop.
Oh shit, that came out? Did the guy making it continue to work alone on it?
The dev is asking full AAA price for a amateurish game using UE placeholder textures
>>719409019>inspired by XV>spent 10 years in development like XV>came out as a wet fart just like XVYou can't make up something this poetic
This is just Vergil form the Netflix show
>>719409019The dev was able to get Yoko Shimomura herself to compose the main theme song for the game. What a dream come true that must be, having the composer of the game that directly inspired yours on your project.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iqvOoBjTdg
>>719409338>character actionlike mgs, halo, and bioshock? because those are all games with a preset character and action. or do you mean hack n slash? because it's been nonstop souls shit and zero good games for awhile.
>The game was originally conceived as a solo project by Yang Bing, but it evolved into a full team effort over the years.>As of 2022, the studio's staff consists of about 40 people, mostly development members.>The game was built using Unreal Engine 4.
If you go back and look at the 2017 trailer, it somehow looks better than the final product.
>>719409019This looks like ffxv/xvi. I do not want to play more of that
>>719415454This one is XV. There is as different Chinese version of XVI currently in production
>>719413614And that's a good thing. The "punching bag" action subgenre got incredibly stale ages ago.
>>719409019Who?
>>719416215I've only played the demo but not all enemies were punching bags, some of them don't stagger when being hit. Only the weaker ones could be freely combo'd from my experience but I don't know what all the enemy types are like in the full game.
>>719409019>multiplatform indie project looks great>gets touched by sony>comes out like shitmany such cases
>>719416714Supposedly it's not even shit, it's just kind of jank and people lost interest after such a long public dev cycle.
>>719415408The early trailers weren't the game, it was just something the dev threw together to get investors while saying it's all by one person. After he got money he hired others to make the actual game for him.
>>719409019I wish someone at Sony didn't intentionally sabotage the dev by putting a $70 price tag. I'll get in when it's 50% off.This looks unironically fun, even if a bit jank.
>>719416998the retarded price is the only acceptable criticism here
>>719417254It's also really fucking broken/buggy.
>>719416998I feel like I should point out that it's actually 60.
>>719409019Why's it look like a cross between FFXV and How to Train Your Dragon?
>>719417449The regular edition is 70€ (+10€ for deluxe) in Europe, I just thought it had the usual $1=1€ conversion.
>>719417475Because it is "inspired" by FFXV
>>719417475The dev got the idea for the game after watching an FFXV trailer.
>>719411696I mean, good for him for actually seeing it through to the very end because the end product honestly isn't very good
There's nothing else to talk aboutIt's fine for what it is (some passion project that got funding) but ultimately overpriced and would be better received as a $40 "AA" gameso again blame sony
what kind of name is Kaser and Arena? lol
>>719414172Wait until you found out about Reynatis
>>719417254it's button mashing as hellenemies are damage sponges
>>719417592Ironically it plays much more like XVI
>>719418198yeah, its like a lower budget chinese version of XVI
>>719418198Probably because both were influenced by DMC.
>>719417972Nah Reynatis was the Versus 13 faggots and Larry. We Berry bros lost again with Lost Soul Aside, but at least FFXV had 30K players on steam.
>>719416215sure thing soulstranny
>>719418198I unironically think XV with all it's auto gameplay was more fun to play than XVI was and learning this game plays like XVI is why I'm not getting it.
>>719409019>guy makes a cool tech demo>chink games gain popularity with Bright Memory way back when>somehow they give the random dude a full budget for a game>after Wukong even more incentivized to give him more money>game is crap because the guy knew nothing of how to do good gameplay and storythis was a disaster waiting to happen
>>719419278ppl will shit on you for saying that but you're right, i managed to finish xv, 16 however i got bored of after a few hours, somehow xv had better game feel with less input lmao
>>719409019Zoomers only care about roblox, Minecraft, fortnite and gacha
>>719409019>Mixed >low review countGlad chinkslop failed. Even with all the Sony backing
>>719420248>Even with all the Sony backingWhat backing?
>>719420165lmao nice edit. I hope these gen A fucks never come on this website... but sadly they will soon.
>>719420443>The China Hero Project was a ploy to kill chinese games by Snoy.
Maybe being inspired by a bad game with a bad dev cycle was a bad thing after all
Nobody cares. It peaked 3k and had less players than when Mindseye peaked at 3.3k players.
I thought it was inspired by Versus XIII, what FF15 was initially.
>>719409019>>In development for 10+ yearsPeople keep saying that but it's just not true. It was just a tech demo he made for his portfolio 10 years ago, it wasn't supposed to be a game. Development started years after that
>>719409019What even is this?
>>719409019I've been playing it this morning. It's fine. Just fine. Alright for a lazy Sunday hangover game. The most damning thing I can say is outside of the combat, it comes across as a Temu Final Fantasy. It seems to run fine on the PS5 Pro. I bought it because I'm a sucker for Chinaslop.
