this game is pretty cool, why is nobody ever talking about it?
>>729505769>animu soulsoppa #405837gee I wonder why
>>729505769I have not seen any female with massive boobs in your webmThis game is shit
>>729505769>denuvoNever playing it. Even after they remove still don't care.
>>729505769It's multi-parry slop, which is the worst of the worst. That genre is an abomination born from Sekiro and includes shit like Stellar Blade and Lies of P. And all of that trash is worse than Code Vein.
Vindictus still lookin good after all those years
>another deflect simulatorSekiro doesn't get enough recognition for how influential it is. All of those chink soulslikes are actually sekirolikes.It wasn't a positive influence, but still.
Mortismal said it's good. Haven't played it myself, though. Is it worth the price? I don't really want to play an extremely hard souls like, though. Maybe if it has robust character building. I've got difficulty fatigue after Silksong and legending Where Winds Meet.
>>729505914This desu.
>>729506225it IS hard though, so if you want to buy it then wait for a good discount. it's a great game but it's hard, you can repeat boss fights to farm item sets that will suit your playstyle, or just level up and unlock more abilities in ability tree, which can greatly help and you can respec them for free so you can change build to have easier time with a boss or test out all the weapons and playstyles, but i personally find most fun with dual wield game used to have a demo but for some reason they removed it when full game came out>>729505914i didn't even know it has denuvo loli'd expect game with denuvo to have worse performance but i keep playing on 90 fps without drops on full setting on a 3060ti>>729506047ur a fag, sekiro was great and games adding parrying and deflecting is a good thing. they allow you to just dodge if you want, in khazan there's a separate skill tree that gives you certain bonuses for dodging or stuff like pic rel
>posts a clip of Nioh 2>why is nobody talking about Khazan????
cool game, like a babby Nioh
>>729505769>combat is too complex for 99% of Soulsfags (i.e. you need to be able to pull off some simple combos instead of tapping R1 a couple of times after an enemy finishes its combo)>combat requires too much defense for 99% of CAGfags and you can't juggle enemies in the air for 30 secondsIt was one of my most played games this year but the action game fanbase is split into two extremely autistic camps that are the polar opposite of each other and they won't tolerate anything that's in the middle of both combat design philosophies.
>>729506518Sekiro IS great but everything being Sekiro is not. Especially when deflect spam is the only lesson they take from it. Haven't played Khazan so maybe it's not the case here but it's also usually piss easy to deflect, including in Sekiro itself, which is boring.I thought I had parry fatigue but then I played Onimusha and realized I was just bored of a pretend risk reward mechanic that is actually all reward because it's too easy. An actually hard to perform counter mechanic that makes you feel the risk often and makes you intentionally avoid it in some scenarios for no reason other than safety is still really satisfying to pull off.The only reason you have to not deflect in Sekiro is if not deflecting against this particular enemy lets you kill it faster. It's braindead.
>>729506225>hoitytoity had an opinion!Why do you people keep making posts that start with shit like this? Who the fuck cares? Why do YOU care?
>>729505769>no character creatorAnd that's why. Immediately irrelevant.
>>729506629>>729506591is it true? i did play Nioh but i think i was playing it wrong, it was many years ago already and i used to play it like a souls games that's probably why i had so much trouble with everythingi will finish Khazan and pick up Nioh again
>>729505769I've already beaten Sekiro
>>729506869I've generally found his opinions to align with mine especially when it comes to more niche titlesband both of our primary interest is CRPGs. That is why I care. I added that to my post because it's the only reason I've even considered buying this game. It's just a personal anecdote.
>>729505769It has in my opinion the best gameplay of any sekiro/souls game but like >>729506805 said, it's in between two extreme.The combat fix the core issue of all souls game which has always been the fact that bosses are playing a better game than you are.People says it's baby Nioh 2 but that make it better. Shit like breathing or the stances in Nioh just make the game less fun to play. FF SOP was already baby Nioh, and was better, this one is also an improvement.Now on the other hand, outside of gameplay, the game is really nothing special at all.
>tfw no tenchu style game with the dnf kunoichi
>>729505769>anime game>with no girls
>>729505769I downloaded the demo and it presented me with a novel worth of legalspeak saying something on the lines of we will telemetry everything about you if you press "Accept."
>>729505769All those games are so similar to each other, if you played one of them, you played them all. Only Demon Souls, Dark Souls 1 and Nioh stand out.
>>729505769I’ll play it once its on sale for below 20 bucks
>>729505769All these games effectively play the same. If you don't like one, you won't like any of them. After trying 3-4, you figure out the genre is not for you and try to find the 2-3 other action game releases per year that might not play like a soulslike game. I'm beyond tired of having to stop and wait for my stamina meter to refill. The beginning of all these games are like this.
>>729505769Use greatsword. It's literally the greatest greatsword in any video game ever.
>>729509714This game plays almost nothing like a Souls game outside the checkpointing system.It's more mission based like Nioh and the combat is way more like an action game than any of the Souls games. The guy in the webm is playing like a shitter. When you actually know how to play you can combo/trade hits and go completely aggro on the bosses.
>>729505769How aggressive can you be in this game? I've found that most parryslop games force you to play very passively, just endlessly mashing L1 until it's eventually your turn to counter for some piddling damage. Ironically, Sekiro, which all these games copy, is still the most aggression-rewarding game in the genre because of how the enemy AI will hang back and stop feeding you deflects until you mash R1 to continue the exchange. Is Khazan like this, or is it on the very passive side?
>>729511163It's more aggressive than Sekiro at least if you play Greatsword. That weapon has a lot of ways to guard crush, stance break and just straight up maul bosses.I personally haven't used dual wield or spear much but from what I can tell, dual wield is the "agility" style weapon and is pretty aggressive while spear is the more defensive ranged option and probably the best for the sissies who just want to play like a Souls game.
>>729509574DaS 1 is dogshit and is only glazed nonstop because of nostalgia. t. played sekiro, elden ring, das2, das1, and das3 in this order.
>>729505769because i'm tired of games that look like this. could be the greatest game in the world but i still won't feel like playing it if it has this cell shaded anime style
>>729511446>I'm a secondary and that's a good thing
>>729511446truedemon's souls is a lot better than DS1
>>729511923demons slop isn't even as good as DS2
>>729511446Zoomers don't get DS1 and DS2 because they're all about immersing yourself in the world and actually playing a role in the RPG, which they cannot do because they're terrible at reading and have pre-gaslit themselves into thinking the setting/lore is terrible before they even started playing the game.
>>729505769Every future game of this type should have a weapon like Khazan's greatsword. I know that they probably won't and that's truly an awful thing but it's also the only reason I will remember this game.
>>729512905care to share an example on why its good?
I kind of want to get into DNF after playing Khazan. How should I go about it? Do Western servers have the sane content as eastern ones?
>>729512406idk what you're talking about. setting or lore have nothing to do with the reason why ds1 is bad. it's outdated uncslop that isn't fun to play, thats all.
>>729513080NTA but it just is. It has fastish attacks, insane aoe, huge stagger, cleaves through chaff like butter, can crumple bosses, lifestealing, guarding, charged slams.It's probably the closest a vidya has ever gotten to making you FEEL like Guts from Berserk.
>>729505769Elden Ring kind of killed the Soulslike genreEvery soulsllike post ER has been a flop.
>>729506814the only good deflects are DMC-style where you strike the enemies hurtbox for a big reward
Too hard for me, I dont play games to get stressed and punch walls anymore, I stopped after Elden Ring
>>729513681don't bother, just pray that they make a sequel or something to khazan
>>729514506Sekiro deflects are fun because of how the game requires you to stay engaged and not mash block until the enemy eventually kills himself, the enemy is programmed to run away and heal posture unless you chase him and attack yourself. This is what makes Sekiro feel like such a true back-and-forth rhythm game. The worst offenders of this genre are games like Nine Sols, where the boss just does whatever in your face no matter which buttons you press and you sit there and wait for your turn; all your parry does is buy the right to perform what would be a charged R2 in a souls game. Woo.
>>729505769I don't see a point to playing soulslikes without pvp, why leave out the best part of the genre? No character creator or proper RPG mechanics either, just barebones action sloppa. I won't waste my souls stamina on this and get souls fatigue, not worth it.
>>729514662skill issue
>>729514761Not an argument.
>>729514878Wasn't meant to be one.
>NexonIts tainted
>>729505769Khazan was one of the best new releases of the year and there were plenty of long lasting threads around release.
>>729505769>why is nobody ever talking about it?Because it has Denuvo.Cracked games means more people playing thus more online discussion.
>>729505769>why is nobody ever talking about it?it's an old game and most of the board would rather talk about the latest black video game character instead
>>729505769Anything that isn't a 10/10 is considered "medicore slop" by /v/, because /v/ doesn't really play video games as a hobby, they just have nothing else.
>>729505769Becase it has denuvo so nobody has pirated it to try it, meanwhile those who bought it found it to drop off in difficulty around mission 3 or so, when you figure out most of your weapon combos, at which point the game doesn't really change in how you play and fodder enemies lose all challenge so you're stuck just grinding away to see the next boss. Bosses are decent enough but I kinda just got bored. It's good enough if you like simon says games like sekiro.
>>729505769FUCKING RETARD PLAYING THE GAME! holy shit do your fucking combos, you moron. holy shit
>>729505769What is this webm. Pack it up bro. Back to nigger souls for you
>>729505769Wuchang is the superior souls slop that came out this year.
>>729515692no
>>729515776Wuchang was the heterosexual choice while Khazan was for people that were into men.

>>729515835When was the last time you had a real opinion that wasn't some faggy, regurgitated culture war slop?
>>729515939I don't get it.
>>729514662sekiro being a rhythm game is NOT a point in it's favor
>>729516067My favorite soulsslop that came out this year. It's PS2 Armored Core but structured like Demon's Souls, great game.Also loved Lords of the Shadow 2023 2.0 but I wouldn't count that as a new release, as much as they changed it.
>>72951604512/28/25(Sun)16:58:18
>>729515264This is the correct answer btw. Between the burnt out salarymen playing nothing but gacha on the train to work, the zoomers who do not consume media except as a vehicle to shitpost about culture wars on /pol/ and kiwifarms, and the poorfaggot NEETs who have been priced out of their autismbux, /v/ does not play games anymore.
>>729505769It's really good but it came out early so it has been forgotten. way better than code vein though it's a low bar
>>729506047>I didn't play the game: the post
>>729515939the most fucking boring mecha game I have ever played. no wonder pre AC6 games never catch on with the mainstream
>>729505769>khazan>makes you think of a cool dwarf>it's a generic muscular gigachad that could have been ai generated
>>729516114Being a rhythm game is better than being Digital Bop-It for zoomers. A rhythm game has depth, a sense of flow, and requires engagement from the player. Your Bop-It simulator is nothing but a 15 hour long Doctor's office reflexes test.
>>729505769> muh press button when you see red sign
>>729511163You can be extremely aggressive, you kill most bosses in a matter of seconds if you know what you're doing
>>729505914This, also why I wont be playing code vein 2
Genuinely what is even appealing about Khazan? Like if you look at it from a perspective of a potential buyer? I feel like you must be retarded to even try this game out because it's literally soulslop 323257542123523. Just being a good souls game just doesn't cut it anymore.
>>729516274It was really fun using the Blade Phantom's set that gives you the stagger reset move and just killing a boss in one protracted combo.
I didn't mind my first time playthrough.The aesthetic is absolutely top tier. Khazan himself is also insanely cool. But gameplay wise, holy fuck I hate that it's just parry slop the game. By the end I was basically forcing myself to continue.
>>729516196That's a compliment.
>>729516241>YourNigger I hate block-parries as a rule. The only time it's okay is when it's both unrewarding and a purely desperate option.Games like NG4 do it well where a proper deflect grants you a delimb + an orb (for UT insta-charge after an aerial maneuver) while a perfect block like Sekiros just does a single heavy attack.
>>729516471
>>729516867He is literally me.
>>729516754Sekiro's perfect block is building a constantly-decaying "you die" meter, not charging a heavy attack, that's what Nine Sols does. You're seething so hard you're getting the games confused. Close the tab and cool off.
I liked it but it became repetetive and the map design was very lacking, as well as the story and world being so whatever i don't even remember anything about it, so i never finished it
Legit the best combat in a game like this since Nioh 2. I was a huge fan when I played it a few months ago. The best greatsword in a video game EVER
>>729516994nta but he's saying NG4's Sekiro-like perfect guard just gives you a heavy attack, and the clash parry has much better rewards.
how's the game's story? is it good? bad? mid?
I miss that feeling of playing Sekiro
>>729517514I wouldn't say it's bad but it doesn't really do anything special either. I hope you like KILLING CHAOS.
>>729517514Very forgettable
>>729506047>wins GOTY >Not enough recognition for it's influenceBrodie log off please
>>729516994"Parry", "Deflect", and "Perfect Block" are all used interchangeably which is somewhat confusing but by my definition Sekiro falls under "Perfect Block"
>>729505769I played through dark soules so I already played all of these games
