>>739153101Epicbros...this can't be happening....WE CAN'T LET THOSE STEAMIE BITCH BASTERDS WIN!!!
>>739153101Too late. They betrayed Valve once, they'll never get my money.
>>739153101wait what? lotf2 wasnt gonna be on steam at first? why the fuck lotf1 was on steam, why change? what benefit could they have seen in epic over steam?does valve take a bigger piece of the pie compared to epic and thats why? super retarded idea, stay on the way bigger platform you debut'd your first game with that has so many of your playerbase
>>739153101I will now buy your game
>>739153101This is literally just malenia without the rotussy
>>739154165>lotf1 was on steam, why change?epic giving them money. that's why they take deals like this. epic injecting them with cold hard cash they can spend now.
>>739154520so epic gave em cash to help get their game up on the deal of exclusivity and now theyre cutting the deal to possibily get back on steamm? Ive never used epic and dont care for it but thats kinda fucked
Damn, no excuses now, buying.
>>739154717Lotf1(2) was on epic for a yes tor something before coming to steam. Same deal seemed to be in place for lotf2(3) but epic seems to have said it's okay to release on steam now, too
>>739154516You mean Melania if she wasn't a tranny.
>>739153101Based, will definitely buy it now
>>739154857oh I see, appreciate the explanation mate
>>739153101The names of these games are retarded. Why didn't they just call it something else. Looks good though. Unironically I may buy but need to wait to see just how much they learned from the first.
>>739153101YOUWILLNOTFOOLMEAGAINI was all-in on the hype train for the last one, thought it'd be an amazing turnaround from the 2014 game and that it would be the true Dark Souls 4 we'd never gotten. I paid full price for it at launch and skipped Lies of P until much later because "durrr i only have room for ONE soulslike". nope. don't care how good it looks. i refuse to get on board for the hype train for this.
>>739153101game isn't even out yet why is there a thread for it?a twitter screencap thread died for this, i hope you're happy
>>739154857im glad someone knows lotf1(2) was a sequel i played the original ages ago on playstation 3 and was still surprised to learn it wasn't a reboot instead of an actual sequel
kino…?
>>739153101the kernel level anticheat is MUCH worse than the epic store
>>739153101Good to hear.
>>739153101>>739155453This game is everything I want from video games. Please please PLEASE don't backpaddle on the aesthetics.>>739155468Sorry tranny, you're not going to turn anyone against this game.
>>739155453>mfw leglocking grip in trailermuh, cant tell what shes even supposed to be doing anyway
>>739155541>Sorry tranny, you're not going to turn anyone against this game.not that anon but I don't buy games from kikes
>>739153101Damn, I might actually buy it now.As long as they don't do anything utterly retarded and subtlety try to censor themselves last minute.
>>739153101have you got the black battle-nun looking one? that ones pretty hot
>>739155254Are you stupid? I mean you are so it's a rhetorical question. Lords 2014 and lords 2023 don't share any developers. It's just retarded naming. But 2023 was fixed like 10000000 times so 2 probably is going to be dark souls 4
>>739155629Again, tranny. your psyops are not going to be effective.
>>739153101Why would Sweeny bankroll the game and then do this? Whats the catch? Im assuming EGS will have an early access period at least.
>>739155736I already told you I'm not that anon and not buying your goyslop. Get that through your ape skull.
>>739153101I will buy your game if:>its on sale>the general consensus says its not dog shit>my favorite youtubers like itI am your average consumer. Beg for my dollar.
>>739155254>bought at launchthx 4 beta testing fag LOOOOL, I meanwhile, enjoyed a well running fully patched playthrough just recently
>>739154857Don't get that from epic's angle, but undoubtedly good for the lotf devs. Epic's store is just a graveyard where games usually get ignored
>>739155986It's so bad that sometimes the stigma even passes over to Steam releases like Square Enix's games.
>>739155869they made it like 10 times easier and visually uglier with the patches thoughbeit
>>739157290rather play it easy than play it bugged
>>739155986Epic is pretty reasonable to work with if your a developer or publisher so if they wanted out they just worked it out behind the scenes without a big fuss.
>>739155762Epic is hemorrhaging money. They said as much when they laid off all those people a few months ago.
>>739157861>Fortnite makes 4-6 billion a year>apparently losing moneyWhat does Tim Sweeney do, buy underage virgin girls and drugs?
>>739158267Spends cash on a bunch of shit that's losing cashPlus I'm pretty sure Fortnite revenue has dipped below that for a few years now
>>739153101Is there a character creator? If there is and that is an armor set for female characters I will instantly buy the game.
>>739157861They are richer than Valve, the fuck?
>>739153101I fucken knew it.Know I'm buy your game
>>739158267Do you really think epic is both giving free games away and exclusivity for free? Epic has to pay the publishers when they want to give away their game or when those publishers choose to be exclusive. No amount of fortnite money can keep that going forever.
>>739154717CI made a vague post around April indicating that they had an injection of money and that people should be excited to see what they did with itmy guess is that they used that money to buy themselves out of the exclusivity deal
>>739158815Even outside the store most of their other stuff isn't exactly massive money makers or are outright a drain on their finances
>>739158885That seems the most plausible explanation
>>739153101now they're just gonna be even further in the hole when this flops.
>>739159073>steam release>soulslikes are trending
>soulslike
>>739159127soulslikes are dead to normalfags, and this one is part of a series where both previous games have "Mixed" reception. It's DOA.
>Soulslikes are a bloated genre full of copycats >"I know! Let's make a gooner soulslike!"Well, at least they have their niche in the rollslop genre now ...
>>739159073maybe, but they have a better shot at success by being on both platforms over being stuck on the one no one buys games onand CI put in a lot of work to bring LotF2023 up to a pretty solid game from its rough startI doubt it's going to sell gangbusters, but I hope it sees a decent outcome
>>739159224Please show excitementhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2638890/Onimusha_Way_of_the_Sword/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4115450/Phantom_Blade_Zero/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2001760/Beast_of_Reincarnation/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2584270/Mortal_Shell_II/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2828710/Valor_Mortis/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4317690/Crimson_Moon/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3744040/Kaidan/https://store.steampowered.com/app/1968940/Nazralath_The_Fallen_World/

>>739158267Sues apple
>>739158267>make the most popular game of a generation>endless free money>be greedy kike jew>not enough, need more money>try to use that massive funding to make even more money>this failsdeserved and the vile kike will burn in hell
So when Timmy pulls the plug on EGS, what happens to my game catalogue?
>>739159518Very rare to find a post like this where the anon doesn't sneak any kino in and it actually is all slop.
>>739159518>whoa this incredibly popular genre has multiple copycat entries help me niggerman
>>739159518>onimushaNot dumb enough to be excited for it>phantom bladeZero interest in this. >reincarnationI'm confused, looks generic.

>>739153101but will it have Anglo-Saxon armor?
>>739158446Yes and yes.
>>739159840epic is set for life my nigga. it literally cannot collapse. if they do, they take every developer along with them, because everyone has been trained to only use unreal engine
>>739160975Anon EGS loses more in a year than Unreal Engine makes.
>>739159518Valor Mortis looks kino though. I'm not sure it compare with the others, being first personn.
>>739153101Jesus, sweeney can't catch a break. This was like the biggest exclusive they had coming.
>>739158536Those free games, exclusive deals, lawsuits and acquisitions cost a fuckload of money.
least obvious marketing thread
>>739163862t. can't have a blast with this lightning in a bottle return to form
I'm all for sex appeal but LOTF1 fucking sucked and I mean the 2nd LOTF1 so I don't have high hopes.
>>739159518>third person action games are now ALL SOULSLIKE>EVEN THE FIRST PERSON ONES>PLEASE CLAPhuh?
>>739153101LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>739153101>tfw you made an epic account and downloaded EGS for nothing
>>739153101I have dark fantasy fatigue
>>739154165Devs have used timed epic exclusivity as early access where Epic foots the bill before launching it again on steam with everything broken fixed.
>>739153101Now they just have to ship without malware (denuvo or kernel anti cheat) and I'll buy it.
>>739153101Thanks for the bad new, OP.
why is reddit having an absolute meltdown over this game?
>>739159518The last 5 are going to be ass. Can't wait for another round of chink KINO though.
>>739153101What a shitty character design
>>739153101Day 01 just for headlines well played Marek-sama
>>739169121cope tranny
>>739160975Retarded-kun, EGS ≠ UE5, EGS makes them lose money and UE5 let them make money.Lil Tim will pull the plug and go crawlling back to steam, they always do.
>>739169258yeah OP's character does look like a tranny now that I think about it.
saar polandia is based and tradpilled we only white here our game based
>>739153101Hooray!
>>739153101that is some good news, I would have bought it on epic anyway, probably, can't skip the return of bikini armor to gaming, troons seething, homosexuals malding, white straight men celebrating.
>>739153101Isn't this the game that revealed some.. problematic female armor?
>>739169357>UE5 let them make moneyAccording to the Apple lawsuit they make chump change with the engine.
>>739159840If you got it all for free, does it matter?
>>739170151And? I said that they make money, didn't say how much lolAFAIK Fortnite was the only thing actually let them be on their feet, and now it's dying so it's a matter of time before they publish everything on steam.
>>739153101Legitimately was excited to read about this on reddit
>>739159518>no nioh 3and dropped
>>739170216Sure. There are games on there I'd like to play or replay at some point, so it would suck to lose them.
>developers literally take out a fucking loan and investor funding to run away from EGSWhat the actual fuck went wrong with this store bros?
>>739171010A complete and total lack of trustworthiness.
Is LoF 1 any good?
>>739171010They focused on appealing to devs instead of consumers. I don't give a shit if the the devs get a bigger cut on epic than on steam. What's in it for me?
>>739171238"it exists"/10
>>739155453these are the gaming ads from the early 00s. i love it. are we coming back bros?
>>739171238The very first one, released in 2014, is not very good at all. I can't recommend it.LOTF 2023, I enjoyed it day one.
>>739171470I second this. The remake is good. Lots of verticality and looping back to the level design, very dark and grim world with some great art designs, mostly good combat and boss design. Just giving them a bigger budget could be enough to really create something special here, I'm optimistic, especially considering how open they've shown themselves to be to genuine criticism
>>739159518The worst part is that every single copycat forgets the 1 thing that makes Dark Souls, Dark Souls. The one thing that made it truly stand out. Invasions.
>>739171707And I now realize I used the word "design" three times in a row
>>739171735>PvP retard rears his ugly head and thinks the entire game revolves around himA tale as old as time
>>739171772I didn't see anything wrong with the post. Don't beat yourself up if you're not changing up wording for flavor. Design is what it is.
>>739153101>lords of the fallenHA12 years, not a single good game
>>739154865Spelled it wrong shartynigger
>>739171926The last one was good. I look forward to this one not looking like Big Plate Man in ruptured hernia universe. I think the moon castle thingy is hopeful.
>>739171707Well, I don't expect something akin to Elder Ring, but liked games like Wuchang for instance. How does LoF 2023 compare?
>>739171238Not at all.
>>739171735nu pvp fags like you do it all wrong which is why it has severely died out over the years to the point every single souls games has a custom multiplayer mod to 100% avoid invasions now.multiplayer died when giant seeds got nerfed in DS3
>>739172110Like Leenzee, Hexworks understands that it's the maps that are really important to a good soulslike. LOTF 2023 is close to the Fromsoft formula in how you build your characters, with simple distribution of points- as opposed to WFF's skill tree; I'd also say it's quite a bit easier overall than Wuchang on NG, but with more surprise ambushes near pitfalls.
>>739172110I'm a sucker for its insanely dark and gothic world and setting so I'm biased. It needs more weapon animation styles, more enemy variety and some other little things that are mostly just down to production value. The combat itself was fine, if slightly floaty but that got patched over time. The way it uses magic and ranged weapons is inspired. I've not played Wuchang so I can't compare to that though, sorry.
Why the fuck would I spend any money on any other video games so close to GTA 6 release?
>>739172552Well not being a retarded nigger would be a good start
>>739172582Yes I know I am at a good start because it is retarded behavior to spend money on inferior products. That's exactly my point.
>>739171010It is baffling how hard timmy fucked upAnd fortnite lost to pubg too
>>739172640>I can't wait to spend my money on California nigger shitGo for it man, nobody stopping you. No clue why you're in this thread begging for attention though. Hope you feel satisfied now
>>739172640GTA has literally never been good. It's just wish fulfillment for dark skins and other low-class people. That's why you enjoy it so much.
>>739172795Yet every single FiveM RPer and every single most viewed GTA YT video is uploaded by white people who enjoy GTArly makes you think huh laddie
>>739172795>>739172773>>739172582what are you, indie devs making story games about your mental illness?? lmaooo you are barely even in the video game market you fucking clowns my fucking sides
>>739172879go back to facebook
>>739172879Based.
>>739160747Last game was more Catholic/Dark fantasy. I don't recall any armor like that off the top of my head.
>>739172879OK Rajesh. Whatever you say lol
>>739171238Played both: Lords '23 is a good, fully furnished souls game with all the expected trimmings and a few nuances of its own. I really like it, gonna do an NG+ run the second they confirm 2's steam release.Lords '14 is...Lords '14, its a sincere but middling first step into the genre.
>>739172640>can't readchecks out
>>739171238lol
>>739159518>>739171735>retards now consider Onimusha to be a Souls clone
Mortal Shell 2Lords of the Fallen 2All we need now is Bleak Faith 2 and I'll be a fed and fancy soulsfag
>>739155453Seems like she's either the Lightreaper or Judge Cleric of LotF2 (3).It would be funny if she's somehow more like Pieta, but I doubt that even though she rapes you midfight.
>>739173357are they making a sequel to Bleak Faith?It was okay, but it definitely could have been better
>>739153101So now that EPIC is out of the way I still expect you faggots to boycott this chud game that only appeals to gooners. I mean you guys weren’t just riding a hate wave because the game wasn’t playable on your steamy r-r-right?
>>739173493They teased dlc at the start of the year, but a sequel is a longshot.
>>739173493It seemed relatively cheap to make, but the initial launch for Bleak Faith had some awful PR.
>>739173498I would say that I was gonna buy it anyway either way
>>739173498I genuinely don't even know what you are talking about.
Did any of you guys play LotF's hard mode? What did you think of the new final boss?
>>739171010>Timmy gives some funding>their game sells 100 copies and they go bankrupt the following yearEpic deals are only worth it when it's a majority of your funding + 200% of your expected revenue, like Phoenix Point. And once you take it, you may lose the PC playerbase for years.
>>739153101The armor looks nice as a concept art, but I'll believe it when I see it. Female models in LoF1 were buttfuckingly ugly, so I am not expecting much here.
>>739172879bodied those freaks
>>739173861So that's why Phoenix Point looks as expensive as it does.
>>739173498Who are you talking to?
>>739173306>unc will looks at the listed games and not think their all soulslikes lmao imagine my mfw
>>739173960They said that they can refund all their kickstarter money, use their new budget and not sell anything and they would still be in the green. But this was when Tim was throwing around big money.
>>739153101>first game mediocre and basically piss easy until it suddenly becomes bullshit unfair with no consistency>took multiple years just to break even>they literally announce the sequel before the first game made back it's budget>see trailer for sequel>oh hey maybe it will be better this time they had the groundwork mostly down I gu-...>already sniff out that it's EGS exclusive before even actually looking it up>it is EGS exclusive>predictable backlash>actual retard storms onto stage to face the backlash>WE GOT THE NUMBERS THAT SAY IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT STORE IT'S ON may we see them?>THE FUCKING GOYIM WILL SWITCH TO EPIC TO PLAY THE GAME THEY WANT not your painfully mediocre slop lol>bro it took you over 2 years to make your money back from the first game when it was on Steam, it's going to fucking die on EGS>doesn't help the first game was hyped up before launch and then got brutalized when it launched from all the fundamental problemsWe'll see. It's probably not going to be worth whatever the default AAA price is these days anyways.>see material they are pushing on social media>they are actually fishing for the "gooner" crowdI just want to kill shit. I liked the "OW THE EDGE" aesthetic of the last game up to a certain point but the cosplay armor is cringe. Just do boob armor and/or more obvious female shapes.
>>739153101>The slop is no longer exclusive to the slop store
>>739174243I like fanservice but whatever this game is doing is not appealing to me
>>739174249but enough about fromsoft games
>>739153101Okay, I'm still waiting for a an actual gameplay video so that I can see if they've actually improved on the janky combat and dumb gimmick. From the alpha stuff they released it looks like movement isn't as floaty but what really fucks with the gameplay is the stupid fucking lantern gimmick, the complete lack of poise and lack of hyperarmor, not to mention the extremely floaty combat animations, extremely janky platforming and poor level design.If they fix that then the game might actually go from a 6/10 to an 8/10 with the new armor and character design, the story is probably still going to suck ass and be more intrusive than the ones in FROMs games so I'm not holding out any hope for that.Them not capitulating to Timmy actually does make me a little interested in the game again, but they'll have to stick the landing still.
Are they really that bad?
>>7391552542023 is objectively better than 2014 in every way. The problem is that compared to its contemporaries it’s mediocre. But Lords2 looks like a legitimate step up in ways that 2023 should have been to 2014.
>>739174432https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-48VgIw9l0No UI or anything
>>739174356I just hope they have a ton of good stuff going on and they are just waving the like, "adult halloween costume" stuff around for attention>pic
>>739174470They are actually quite pretty, I just don't them looking like that in-game. Unless CI has finally learned how to create pretty female 3D models.
The funniest part of the EGS is that the Satisfactory dev kept shilling it failed to turn a profit on it, the Steam release saved him from making a loss.
>>739174470Just kinda generic, like eastern MMOs or mobile game ads. The whole issue of the new LOTF games is a lack of identity, the Umbral shit is all they have and its visually awful to constantly look at
>>739174470I like the second one. The last one is utterly uninspired trash. The slut valkyries need full helms to be attractive with that much skin showing.
>>739174536That doesn't really show anything other than that a handful of attack animations aren't god awful, they've added blocked based parrying and they have copy-pasted a LOT of stuff from the first game. Doesn't look that promising at the moment IMO but they still have time. As long as the level design and enemy AI is better then that alone could push it from a 6/10 to a 7/10
>>739174709Block based parrying was in the previous game, unless you mean something else.
>>739174536I mean they got more animations thankfully but something about it looks even more floaty and weightless then the first game? Like they've cranked the knockback up to compensate for still having extremely floaty lunging in every attack.>>739174709>they've added blocked based parryingThat was a thing in the previous game actually. It flashed blue when you did it but they changed the feedback it would seem for the sequel. Maybe this time you can actually do it in coop because they cranked enemy posture so high in the previous game's coop it functionally disabled parrying and backstabs as a mechanic!
>>739173194Post steam play time or fuck off
>>739174849The animations look fine to me, but I never really understood most "floaty" complaints when it comes to games. I remember thinking that the animations for the Demon's Souls remake look awful, but no one else ever complained about them.
2023 is actually on my backlog, I got it on big discount, should play it. How badly do you need to minmax a charaxter?
>>739174997Floaty is how things move and react. In the first game you slip'n'slide all over until you are already as physically close to the enemy as hitboxes allow.
>>739175131Not badly at all.
>>739153101I remember seeing some gameplay that looked fast as fuck like Elden Ring or something, half the reason (other half being excellent world design akin to DaS1 except better in some ways and worse in others) LOTF2023 was great was the slower pace of combat that Fromshit has abandoned after DaS2. Not great. Will pirate on release for sure though, Timmy still funded the development so whatever
>>739175131Not at all. Game is pretty easy
>>739175131Minmaxing on a first run isn't necessary; just keep your favourite weapon at as high a level you can afford and you'll probably do fine.
>>739175131The game is extremely easy, frankly, and the only truly challenging bosses are a shitty gank boss 75% of the way through the game (though it's programmed so one is less aggressive while the other is engaged) and Dickreaper since he is spammy and annoyingly simple moveset means he'll use his gayest moves very often.
>>739175317>backflips 8 times in a row
>>739173887Marek already showed what a woman’s face can look like in Lords2
>>739175514She's kinda vaguely jewish looking. Very post-op jew.
>>739175667What?
>>739175994What do you mean "What?" I said what I said.
>>739176095What?
>>739176116he said "I'm a disgusting tranny and I am seething with anger and jealousy", can you not read or something?
>>739176116?tahW>>739176202YWNBAW
didn't this shit already released a few years ago?
Have they confirmed jiggle physics? I'm not playing games on the realism-powered engine if they do not have jiggle physics
>>739176272We have >Lords of the Fallen>Lords of the Fallen (2)>Lords of the Fallen 2 (3)
>>739174470The one on the far right looks like low lvl murlock armor, too many things which clash with each other. The headpiece looks really weird. The rest are fairly safe designs as far as bikini armors go, they're not in your face erotic or obscene, you could see women irl wear them at conventions without any issues. The fact that there was a huge fiasco around these designs shows of rotten and putrefied the brains of the crying committee are. There's more erotic designs in the 2004 world of warcraft bikini armors they have. Of course the usual korean game blows these out of the water but korean games usually aren't that good on gameplay.I'd be interested to see how the designs looked before that female youtuber got involved. She did say she slimmed them down a bit but i wonder what that means exactly, because i'm pretty sure a bunch of dudes wouldn't have shoved in obese women, those dudes working on the game don't look like homosexuals. If it means making their breasts smaller, than we'd have an issue. Everyone says this is great and it's wonderful that they collaborated with that youtuber but it's still a woman telling you what you should find attractive. If some dude would claim he knows what women should find attractive, he'd get laughed out of the room for being a creepy incel.Still, these types of designs are incomparable with most stuff you see in western games. They don't look like whores twerking and they don't look like they're spreading their legs when you're not looking, there's some sort of class about how much is revealed. My guess is that the female youtuber remembered picrel and remembered that men like to see more of women's bodies because they're not women, and that's commendable on many levels. If you were put in charge of creating media for women, you wouldn't shove in skinnyfat weak and dweeby looking men, you'd put in a Henry Cavil or Aquaman type male characters because that's what women like.
>>739176410I'm assuming that they had the "Female Souls PC" issue of having a guy as a base, so the proportions were off.
>>739176352thats fucking retarded
>>739176410That's a retarded image, women love make up. Men are the whole reason the "make up that doesn't look like you're wearing make up" style exists. Women also like looking at sluts, so it's not like the slutwear is exclusive.
>>739174470these would've been normal sexo armor in fantasy games 15 years ago
i liked the last lotf game but it was so fucking buggy, i am not gonna be QA again and just wait a year for the new game so its properly patched
>>739158536the problem with making stupid money for a decade is that some point, you actually trick yourself into thinking the money will never stop flowingso if you get used to say $500 million a year of essentially free money coming in, and then it drops to say $300 million, it can really fuck up your financials when you planned everything around that extra $200 million
>>739176474the 2014 game is a pretty diiferent beast
>>739176472Oh i see that makes sense. They should also work with a totally different animation base for the female characters. That's one of the things that gets missed frequenty in western games. Female characters walk, gesticulate, attack, run and crawl like male characters, probably for saving budget or out of indifference. 50% or more of a woman's appeal is how her body moves because through body movement she communicates how valuable she is. That's why they wear heels, tight fitting clothing which doesn't allow her to defend herself, the message being "other people around me will protect me because i'm that valuable". It's the same thing with how much money is spent on their nails for example, because it also communicates that they don't do manual labor. A lot can be transmitted through how a woman looks but most of it is how she moves around. So for example always holding her legs together no matter what transmits that she isn't a whore.>>739176608>women love make up. Men are the whole reason the "make up that doesn't look like you're wearing make up" style existsMakeup is used to hire ageing or to simulate sexual arousal (red lips, flushed cheeks) because men pick up on that subconsciously and think the woman is aroused because of them, so they change behaviors around that woman. Most makeup is used today only to improve how the woman's face looks in pictures, and that's probably done for themselves but it doesn't work on men as much because if i see a different shade on your face compared to your neck and hands, we have a big red flag which means you're hiding your reproductive health from me, meaning you're not confident in showing me how capable you are to bring a pregnancy to term, in which came i'm gonna vanish. That's why "makeup that doesn't look like makeup" exists, because you still wanna fool men into thinking you're more valuable than you really are.p.s. that's a great pic
>>739176410But all the women dress their character like middle in MMOs
Can I pick Hallowed Knight and go Radiance+Strength?
>>739176410Designing female characters to appeal to women in media that isn't explicitly aimed at women is inherently woke.
>>739153101I guess they got scared
>>739153101NO LONGER NORTUBEL TIER
>>739177325>Designing female characters to appeal to women in media that isn't explicitly aimed at women is inherently woke.I'd have to agree in principle. In this case however, can there be found a way to rationalize how those designs aren't woke? We'd have to know how much pushback the female youtube received on her suggestions to directly quantify the amount of "woke". Overall it's a step in the right direction as designs like that have all but vanished from western games in recent years, so anything you get is good enough, for now.
>>739171010EGS is a marketing black hole. I don't blame them for doing such a thing.
>>739153101Did the devs finally grow a brain?
>>739153101This looks ai generated
>>739177579You look AI generated
>another melenia ripoff
>>739177113Women aren't stupid. They know what men like. That's why they're so good at destroying it in video games. Some exceptions exist, as always.
>>739177640
>>739154865Holy shit
TEE BE ACHE, I'm probably not going to play a female character anyway. Hopefully there are some hot NPCs/enemies.
>>739177616Wait do I?
>>739153101The cinematic trailer seemed very boring. Most basic edgy gore you could conjure
>>739177640Malenia looks like any one of a thousand fantasy book covers by Boris Vallejo except with disgusting tranny shoulders. Fuck off cunt
>>739153101Kek what a bitch
>>739153101lotf1 was kind of boring but thats because im tapped out of souls and soulslikehopefully i get my interest by the time this releases
Regardless of where you can buy this game, you just know it's gonna be a piece of shit either way. No soulslike has ever been worth playing to this day. Not even Lies of Piss (although at the very least it was a bit more original in its setting)
>Souls like>Polish>Obviously ai generated
>Anything that looks vaguely valkyrie inspired is going to have moutbreathers mumble "malenia" for the next decade
>>739153101I just wish this genre was more rpg than action
>>739178216check out king's field and its clones
>>739177095> Oh i see that makes sense. They should also work with a totally different animation base for the female characters. That's one of the things that gets missed frequenty in western games. Female characters walk, gesticulate, attack, run and crawl like male characters, probably for saving budget or out of indifference.Ryan Hill confirmed on Twitter that women will have a feminine walk cycle. They actually are going that far.
>>739178345That's a great choice on their part, good to know. Not looking for Bayonetta tier catwalking but some hip sway should be good.
Why did she do this
>More feminist bosses voiced by American californians and DEI forced africansNot interested.
fucking brilliant move.ill buy as long as this isnt dog shit.Sweeney has small nuts.
>>739158446Lords 1 sole redeeming quality is that the women are all quite fuckable.
>>739178497western studios just cant help themselves,now they are so desperate they are parading around safe horny trash
>>739178463>>739177826Still the coolest armor set in any Souls-like.Is there anything like it in real life?
Nice, I will be buying now
>Fortnite is dying>Timmy is broke>EGS is a flop>Meanwhile Gaben does literally nothing and winsKWAB
>>739171238Its interesting, but its also made by a studio who ended up deciding to not implement anything in a fun way.There is a shield crash mechanic, and its not just bolted to the parry system. There is even a boss which can be cheesed by the shield crash mechanic, and fuck all else. You also get new loot for clearing bosses a certain way, often boss weapons. But its in a game where the combat is fundamentally a shitAnd the map is fucking tiny, with no interesting circling. 2023 is a lot better.But it suffers badly from ice skating, fucked weapon balance, ranged enemies with infinite aggro, infinite reskins of the same weapons, also the lantern mechanic getting tone down a little more each area.
Oh shit, I was going to start as Lightnigga, but apparently I can start as Darknigga too. Hallowed Knight or Dark Crusader?
>>739178717A black surcoat over black plate with a vented great helm and a hooded cloak fixed in place by a crown of thorns. All the elements exist in reality, but nobody ever wore an ensemble like that- to my knowledge.
>>739153101there's a second one? what?
>>739179197dark crusader is easy mode character iirc
>>739179229
>>739179231Ah, I'll save that for a 2nd playthrough then, Lightnigga first.
>>739153101i will now wait for a discount and buy your game
>>739177521They were hammered on social media since it was announced telling them things like that and it's been the only thing people talk about the game for since the reboot-sequel was so mid nobody cares beyond mentioning that in response to it bring brought up. Probably worsened as they started their twitter shilling.
>>739175169>LOTF2023 was great was the slower pace of combat that Fromshit has abandoned after DaS2It didn't lean into any of the strengths of slower combat. It just had longer attack animations with less recovery and that was it. No careful spacing is allowed because every attack scoots you around and enemies just lunge constantly anyway, and good luck spacing anything as a result. It just played like ER or DS3 but at 0.9x speed and with much slipperier movement and attack animations. I wanted to like it, I really did.
>>739178497What even is a "feminist" boss, and which ones are in LotF? Pieta? Judge Cleric? That /ss/ bitch in the depths?
>>739178345Ok but who cares? Make the game better instead of shining the turd.
>>739179943Both Judge Cleric and Pieta are based on St. Joan of Arc, so it would be really silly to consider them feminist characters.
>>739179889Dex is for fags so I only ever played with heavy weapons as far as melee was concerned and the pace of combat was perfect for that, I know the slippery combat with quicker weapons has been adjusted multiple times but no idea what it's like in it's current state
>>739153101Not bad but could be better.
>>739153101Guys I played the 2023 game on Ps+ and the environments and basic enemies were so boring despite the bosses being alright.
>>739174470Game where such sluts fight each other and whoever loses has to sexually service the winner where?
>>739180064She has a very mannish face
>>739172552>Why the fuck would I spend any money on any other video gamesbecause it´s literally the only winner move.Buying GTA6 is supporting cancer.
>>739180201>Dex is for fags so I only ever played with heavy weaponsI did too and that's where the worst of it was. I distinctly remember having to start my colossal sword equivalent's running attack from fucking miles away to get it to hit the fucking fire dog dudes in that valley area because you gain so much extra movement from your attacks. It felt like shit trying to space attacks to punish because, again, enemies lunge like crazy constantly and my own attacks slide me right into their face anyway.
>>739180201quality is the philosopher's choice
>>739180354I last played the game maybe 6 months ago, what about you
Maybe this time tgere will be dex weapons that arent fucking trash. So little damage and so few weapons it felt like with enemies that just feel like they're poisetanking you. Tried to get into her >>739180064 dex/faith boss weapon because it was a rare weapon that didnt have the problems of others... and then realized I could just respec into STR/faith and absolutely fucking demolish with Bloody Glory because>gigantic sword>gigantic damage>gigantic bleed>who balanced this lmaoI usually like spears in these types of games but lords is balanced around so much lunging that spears, having almsot no forward movement, are torturous to play.
>>739180450Judge Cleric's weapons are good for doing a large amount of holy damage, but it is a bit silly how little forward momentum you have.
Oh nonononono but I thought it was literally impossible?>>738314040>>738314409>>738315514 >>738315892 Lower your tone to talk to me, faggot. End your life in shame.
>>739180445Given that when I played it was touted as "good now", I'm not falling for it twice.
>>739180623Fair enough, I don't know when the updates happened
>>739180450I don't know about before 2.0 but I played the whole game with frostbite claws which I think were DEX and they're strong as FUCK. Each claw does damage independently too, so the two handed R2 that is a thrut attack with both hands does double the damage reported on screen, it's insane.
The devs probably saw the wishlists and engagement they had on Epic and had alarn bells ringing
>>739180331Well look at German woman
>>739155869I bought then waited foe it to be fixed, i had to get theough cyberpunk that year
>>739180623The "good now" trailer came out in April 2025, seems like you just missed the biggest update. No idea how much of a difference it really makes since I didn't play it before then, maybe people exaggerate, but yeah.
>>739160747No, too old for the era
>>739180715That is probably the case, considering the game is always buzzing on social media because of the CEO talking shit, they probably noticed they get several times more twitter likes than wishlists, even though both are free.
>>739180767I want to say that forward movement has been drastically reduced, but I don't remember much about what it was like before
>>739171926Nta but thr remake is Objectively a better game than dark souls 1
>>739157290Playing the game with enemy density increase mutator is literally, not figuratively, literally the same as launch version as far as enemies are concerned. I know some people have autism about options like that but that's a (You) problem
>>739177640Rip offs dont exist
>>739180596oh shi.....
>>739180715Epic chink launcher has wishlists already? they grow up so fast!
>>739180857>increased enemy density>randomized loot>pre upgraded lootYep its gamin time(This was unironically my firat run)
>>739180767I checked the version history and yeah, The 2.0 update came out a couple of weeks after I put it down. But the whole reason I decided to play it was because they had supposedly improved the combat, and it was still pretty wack if you ask me. Maybe they improved it, but something tells me they didn't rework all the momentum the player and enemies have while attacking.
>>739180946Do you need a cheat code or dev menu to use them on your first run or was I just blind? I only noticed the modifiers on my second playthrough and assumed it was an unlock for beating it.
>>73918100199% sure they are all available when you first launch the game
>>739181001I think they updated it so that you can use modifiers from the get go.>>739180946>Randomized loot>Randomized enemies>Iron ManIt's like a rogue-like
I don't mind the enemy count nerf because while I do think the game was a bit on the easy side, the only part where this was actually a problem to me was boss fights, bosses were TOO easy, I only died more than once in two bosses on my first playthrough of Bloodborne but the battles felt exciting, even the first try bosses felt like a battle to the end, in Lords of the Fallen it felt like playing NG+ Nioh, I didn't even care about their movesets.So the higher enemy count modifier wouldn't really make a difference to the only part where the game actually suffered for being too easy. Levels are great as is.
>>739181051I think yoy need to ng+ for the randomizers.
>>739181135some people may not like it or even accept it but lotf2023 is more like des/das1 where the difficulty comes from exploration while many boss fights are simply gimmicks, you definitely missed out not using the enemy density increase
>>739181214>while many boss fights are simply gimmicksThose I did like, but too many bosses are just skill checks that forget to check your skill. I love Demon's Souls, if the game actually leaned on that I would have no problem. The early-souls style level design is the main reason why I loved LOTF2023.
Can you actually parry? I did the tutorial boss guy and it seems like it's better to just dodge. Started with a 2H sword, do you need a shield?
>>739181742You can deflect with a timed block, it's pretty strong. But it's not overwhelmingly strong like in Sekiro, you do want to dodge often too.
>>739180331What a dumb opinion

>>739181935Im an American and Ill take your ugly women if they look like this
>>739181986No matter what kind of women you post there will ALWAYS be an anon that goes "tranny" or cries about how her elbows are too pointy. It's dumb ritualposting at this point and best to just ignore.

>>739182390I've seen that most of the armors they have ingame aren't similar to those 5 they've shown recently. So whoever doesn't want to see those can opt for different looking armors.
>>739153101I will masturbate to this video game character.
>>739182601You don't seem to understand. That's not an option for these people. It's not enough that they don't have to wear it. You can't have skimpy armor.
>>739182390The devs HATE Redditors now, from what I've heard.
>>739182718>It's not enough that they don't have to wear it. >You can't have skimpy armor.Ah, the "no fun allowed" cretins, fuck them.
>>739181828I noticed that whenever someone posts a normal white woman it instantly gets dogpiled by people going>ewww square jaw>ewww manfacebut all you really have to do is look at the women they're used to seeing to understand. The average south asian woman has an extremely tiny face like a child

Can you make an attractive female character in LOTF1 or should I just wait for the sequel?

>>739153101>epic exclusiveit's like they wanna flop
>>739177826This. The male armors in the game were peak, no reason to play dressup sluts.
>>739179197Dark Crusader is a starter class that's supposed to be locked behind finishing the game but the deluxe edition unlocks it from the getgo. It's somewhat stronger than the base classes
If they fixed the level design so i'm not running around in circles looking for the one ladder on the side of a cliff that you can only see from certain angles with your edgy vision as the only way to progress, i'll buy it day 1.

I actually fucking loved playing through 2023. I haven't had the feeling of exploring a world and getting lost in it in ages.
>>739183940>>739183940>early this yearis see, so next year+1 it is
>>739185179Yup
>>739184091Not really, if that's what you want just wait on 2.
>>739184091>Can you make an attractive female character in LOTF1Not really. The original release fell for the woke meme. All the females looked like haggard muttoid ogres.The devs have since done what they could through patches but some things were just baked into its core that they couldnt change. IIRC there is at least 1 face that is passable.
>>739177826can you get that armor if you don't pick his class? I played for maybe 1 hour btw
>>739153101the first game is way too easy and the final boss is a jokeshant be playing this one
>>739185913I think that's an exaggeration. Check the Forza Horizon 6 character creation to see what "intentionally ugly CC" looks like, LOTF's is just not that good.
>>739186756Female PCs were significantly uglier on release, they somewhat improved things in the 2.0 update

I was somewhat interested in playing the reboot of 1 but then I saw it's one of those obnoxiously obtuse ones where you'll miss a shit ton of stuff if you aren't literally playing with a guide open and there's also multiplayer achievements so the game just seems like a chore.
>>739192984did you also need a guide to not miss stuff in das1?i weep for the zoomers
>>739193053No because DS1 is intuitive
>>739192984you're a retard btw
>>739193075lmfao why are zoomers so fucked in the head :DD
>>739193170>thinks DS1 is unintuitive>calls others zoomersProjection is off the charts. Guess you and>>739193106 are the only retards here
>>739193216bro zoomers need a fucking guide to play video games :DD
>>739193328You just said you needed a guide for DS1
>>739158536trying to appease shareholders makes you retarded
>>739193328>be in wuchang generals on /v/>every fucking screenshot has button guides>nobody bothered to disable them because they will genuinely forget which buttons to press if not for the always-on indicatorsyou uncs are the same.
>>739193353do you also need help with reading comprehension :DD bro did NOT just say he needs a guide to find his way around in LOTF2023 zoomers are so fucked up
>>739193447I didn't need a guide for DS1(only a retard like you would). YOU disagreed with that post which means YOU are implying you needed a guide. Damn I guess you're the one who also needs to work on their reading comprehension, this is pathetic kiddo. Try harder.
art design was really good and it was a competent soulslike"friends pass" and seamless coop was a great idea also
>>739193519lmfao what on earth is this schizophrenic meltdown :DD bro is seething so hard after accidentally revealing he needs GUIDES to play video games, it literally is over for zoomers, that cortisol spike is legendary
>>739193656lmao the damage control, you lost.
>>739193697its fucking over for you and your guides bro :DD
Speaking of LOTF2023, did they ever fix how god awful the NG+ balance was? I started NG+ but it was dog shit so I just started a new playthrough instead.
>>739193787i did NG+ with all modifiers on and it wasn't bad at all, so i think so?
>>739193894I just hated that everything was an absolute damage sponge that took 2 hours to kill.
I didn’t like the artstyle for some reason but I liked dark souls artstyle. Idk why. The movement felt slidey also, but the weapons were fun. Also fuck the boss with the infinitely spawning dogs lol, made me chuckle. Also definitely the harder than any fromsoft game
>>739193994get a competent build, I just went balanced stats with wither magic and it wasn't too bad at all
>>739194128Brother I had about as minmaxed a build as humanly possible, you are aware of softcaps right? It's not a build issue, the game was just designed that way. How long ago did you play NG+ cause I played it on release and pretty much everyone agreed the HP was excessive.
>>739194213i got my all-modifier achievement about six months ago
>>739194264>6 months agoYeah that's what I thought. I actually looked it up and they nerfect the shit out of NG+ in patches a year ago so I'll probably give it ago now it's actually properly balanced, if you want to see what I mean play the game with the 1.0 and notice the difference.
>>739184548But that's the best part about LotFThe game also has a bunch of environmental details to point out if something is in Umbral
>>739186679The new final boss is significantly better/harder, evenbif the backdrop is still Adyr monologuing the entire time.
can someone spoonfeed me the controversy surrounding this game? normally I’d google it but it’s funnier to get my information from schizoid posters here
>>739195646Local dev decides to pander to gamers, gaming journalists most pissed off
>>739153101oh wow a golden sexy valkyrie with a winged helmet and long flowing hair, wielding a sword, I can't quite remember who this reminds me of
>>739195646>the controversy surrounding this gameThe devs can unironically answer how they would have felt if they hadn't had breakfast the previous morning and can also offer a dictionary definition of what a "woman" is. Also there's optional bikini like armors in the game now. That's mostly it.
>>739195646a while ago, dev asked on twitter if gamers wanted "type A/type B" or "male/female" in a poll and followed the resultrecently, devs are going with "sexualized" armor designs in lotf2 because that's what dark fantasy is aboutthat's pretty much it, both of these sent gaming journos into a frenzy
