woke HELL IS US (soulslop flop) dev viciously INSULTS silksong devs team cherry for unfairly STEALING sales and CRIES like a big BABY live on streamhttps://youtu.be/opeNl55y-0Y?t=3828
there's a demo for hell is us, world seems interesting but the combat is garbage
>>720821608>but the combat is garbageGive me your top 10 so I can scrutinize what you consider good combat
>>720822716Why don't you post the full fight?
I really want to know. When people make claims like "combat is garbage". What is the level of standards. When all the games that otherwise get praised on /v/ don't get the same level of scrutiny. Where is the consistency?
>>720822863
Best game of the year, amazing combat
>>720822973the double edged sword of the gaming industry is that something that pleases a 16-24 year old gamer is not at all what pleases a 30-50 year old gamer and the disparity in spend potential between those two groups creates a lot of friction in the criticism because devs see the cheap young group contented and think fuck the hate but at the same time the haters are the ones who have deep pockets to spend from
When a game has poor combat but the consensus/algorithm has decided we must like the game anyway then it is comfy jank and endearing soul
>>720822973>how dare you make fun of my unironic soulslop combat in 2025Everyone has soulslop fatigue except for the chinese and they only buy chinese games, better luck next time when you ripoff another gameplay fad
If you criticize the poor combat of an older game that is however accepted as le comfy and soul then you are filtered.
>>720823706>when you ripoff another gameplay fadWhere is this level of scrutiny for "jrpg with parry" and "metroidvania with parry"? Where is the consistency?
>>720822716Hell is us gameplay ain't much better than breath of the wilds though so I dunno what you were thinking
>>720823903They're good games while Hell is us is bad and bland with unoriginal gameplay
>>720821426this game looked like absolute shit and that is why it did not sell>le epic girlboss fighting fourth dimensional fractals with the most limp-dick mocap imaginable easiest way to trash a gamethings like this backfire on sales when you ask streamers to play it and demonstrate to the world how fucking awful it is
>>720823185This shit is so french, but leave that mime alone, he looks like he feels so bad he's being hurt by those evil bagette eaters
>>720821426There is a lot in a name and this game has a very, very bad name. If I purchase the game, its like I'm admitting the name has value, that I am, myself, Hell. Obviously this will immediately turn off millions of potential buyers. You can bet virtually all religious people will not be buying this. What the fuck were they thinking.
is hell is us dev actually having a melt melt dumping a bunch of cherrypicked "le poor soulslike combat" clips to prove his shit game is worthwhile or what
>>720825547>posting webms is having a meltieyes I'm fuming right now
hi devs or someone other contributing their time for this. the chans isn't for thatnow: *ahemFUCK NIGGERFUCK TRANNYS FUCK JANNYSFUCK JEWSFUCK SANDNIGGERSFAGGOTS! THE LOT!
>>720826235you don't even realize you're the exact same hivemind retards as reddit and leftist echo chambers
>>720826491did i say something else? now back behind the counter, wagie
>>720822973>When people make claims like "combat is garbage". What is the level of standards.I came off a couple weeks of only playing Ninja Gaiden 2. And yeah Hell is Us put me off the more combat it got into. Uninstalled and going back to NG2.
>>720826625my prescription:2 ounzes of pussy a dayonce in the morning, once eveningapply for 2m and you'll be back. better than ever
>>720821426If it makes them feel any better, I had no intention of playing this regardless of Silksong.
Boomer bros... our games were shit?
>>720826673Also I don't care about Hollow Knight. You aren't competing for my attention with other new releases, but the sum total of all video games dating back to 1991. Good thing almost none of them are GAAShit someone can just shut down forever.
>>720821426>don't know where to go>just slap on a simple down,up.right.left path let the player choose where he wants to go tooit's worse know because everyone is on online all the fuck time and people forget to log off and not get sweep under it happen a lot with every game
>>720821426>combat sucksThis is just cope. the problem is there are no interesting or attractive characters. The world doesnt look interesting and isnt interesting unless you force yourself to play and get invested. how is the game going to hook people? pure word of mouth? the main character looks retarded with that hair. I played it for an hour and already forgot his name. no waifus or crazy villain? retard movethe puzzles and exploration are solid? okay...? but what stands out? okay game means okay or below okay sales. thats how it is
>>720827987THISI cant even goon so whats the point
>>720824528the name is extremely badwhen you hear the name you expect demons, devils some diablo or doom like setting
>>720827987Yeah the first hour doesn't really exude any strong personality in the characters or aesthetics. Feels a lot like Annihilation or the Stalker movie.
>>720823706>soulslop combat>no i-frames>attacks come out in single frame and you have full mobility while doing themWhat's the relation exactly besides being some kind of challenging?
>>720823318>hits him square in the head with a hammer>he doesn't even flinchSo realistic
>>720823903nowhere, /v/ is just trolls & haters - people here hated sekiro for parrying, callisto for dodging (dead space seems to be the second coming of Christ, while it's gameplay is way clunkier), and turn-based games for taking turns ... you're the measure for what's good, it's your time, effort and joy, ignore the voices from the void. Half this website is jewish agents anyway
>>720821426>devyoure game in on unreal engine bro youre not a real dev
>>720826175>he doesn't know
>>720828270I played the game and he didn't and there is none. Kids and jeets both have no frame of reference for any other video game, so they call anything with a sword 'soulslike'
>>720828198annihilation did a much better job setting up the idea that its world is dangerous in 10 minutes
>>720821426>you can cheese some enemies in these games people love that means you have to play our shitty game everyone hates!What an odd shilling attempt.
>>720828559>zoomer doesn't know who this dev islolnu/v/ plz
So I just finished the 3rd zone and i'm wondering if im going to fight the same 4 enemy types throughout the game. Haven't enocuntered a bossfight either but that might just be because it's still early. If a game encourages backtracking like this one I would expect a bit more different enemies
>>720829275yes
>>720828882annihilation is complete dogshit compared to stalker
>>720829275this is it for me. give me a range of enemies, not just 4 types with 4 different skins
>>720828979its desperationhow did these retards get into game development? characters, world, music combine together into a certain vibe and the vibe sells the game. gameplay just keeps you playing the game. this is so basic yet they were naive enough to believe "just make a good game" and good things will happen. now they are watching reality sink in
>>720821426I'm looking at the transcript nigga what are you talking about
Amazing game that deserved a better fate
Still waiting for that Iron Pineappe verdict If it fails, its most likely due losing sight of what the demo promised
>game starts with "this game is so 300iq hardcore, it doesn't have a map, so better pay attention filthy casul">oh man I'm about to really activate my neurons>find columns with symbols>wait a minute, that wall>what if... no way, they match>I'm a genius>find a door with symbols>wait a minute, that gay poetry cardFinally a game that an average Bioshock player can appreciate.
>>720833525>Find random tidbits of "lore" with names and dates>Write them down>Never used for anything unless the puzzle is right next to ityea the only "we dont have a map" shit this game pulls is making you remember those random lootboxes you need very specific keys for. Better remember which lootbox required the grief key with a wiggly symbol! It's one of the 3 you found spread across the zone!
>>720833525there was a thread about this game yesterday where someone was sobbing about that Lethe portrait puzzle.Where you have to literally just look at two paintings and take the numbers from them (that are written in numerals so it' obvious), add them to a third given to you, and that's the code.And this was too hard for this retard. And that retard is most people.This game is unironically too hard for the modern gamer in terms of puzzles (though I've also seen sobbing over Act 2 being too hard with the combat because they can't do the Free™ half-your-lifebar heal button presses)
>>720833921and pic related is the same thing but with two books and the retards also scream and cry over this puzzle too lmao
>>720821426If he's basing his game's success off another company's behavior than he's doing it wrong. Because that isn't something he has control of. You have to be aware of the dangers of release dates and time them properly. Or, generate enough interest where it doesn't matter.
Do people simply not believe that releasing a COMPETITIVE PRODUCT is competitive anymore? Are we obligated to just buy everything as customers? They don't even seem to be the same genre, and they can't even compete with that alone? At that point blame every AAA for releasing anything, or blame anybody for being more successful than you. May as well go all the way and demand free money.Whatever happened to actually trying to BE appealing and worth considering? Isn't the point that you are supposed to convince customers that your pointless entertainment will be more entertaining than other people's? If I'm gonna waste my time all the same I may as well just buy the thing that looks more interesting, is that really so hard to understand?
>>720821426Yer postin' cringe, boy. This is a /v/ thread, not a title for your outrage bait youtube channel
>>720834846that implies consumers are sentient creatures instead of fomo-brained golems
>>720834846Maybe they should have asked why a small indie studio with less experience, devs, and money could make people excited for their game instead of HiU?
>>720821426>generic third person action adventure gameI actually recoiled in disgust when looking at the steam page
Honestly, I avoided it because it's UE5.I don't buy anything that runs on that engine anymore, at best I'd pirate it.
>>720821426Pretty sure you already tried to force this /pol/ thread at least twice today
>>720822973I'm not gonna explain word definitions to you. If I said it's janky you probably wouldn't know what that means either. If I tried to make it simpler and said the controls and animations feel stiff, you'd ask me what I mean by controls.
>>720835993But I thought we loved jank soul comfy kino?https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/text/jank%20kino/https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/text/jank%20soul/https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/text/jank%20comfy/
