Just saw the video. Love the answer haha

Thank you so much for the work you put into this.

Always looking for games and it appears to be more populated than it was a few years ago.

A lot has happened in the five year hiatus I took and I felt my old content doesn't represent what I want the channel to be anymore if that makes sense. Although it seems a lot of people's favorite was that one you mentioned.

@ Taking a look at your channel i suspected this was the case, it's kind of sad to see them go, since they were very fun and rewatchable, but sometimes you just have to let go of content that doesn't really fit your direction anymore. I like this new, more focused direction, really hope to see more in the future if you have more to talk about. Also towards the end of the Splinter Cell Remake video you made a very fitting analogy for the series, about trying to be the best you and not someone else, i could kind of tell from that and from your new overall tone that something happened over the years and that your life changed for the better in some way, it was nice to hear.

Whatcha mean?

@EddieTheBunny I don't think the remake will be any good. The Splinter Cell remake thingy.

The best bad player has returned indeed!

Game: “You’ve been kicked from the match” Me: It’s just like the good old days 🥹

@@DutchPlanDerLindeFromTahiti Perhaps… but I insist Lies of P has the best timing.

@@sussyiee In Sekiro, the parry window will drop if you are spamming the block/deflect button which is why it’s better to learn the exact timing of the attacks because then you won’t lose deflect frames. Lies of P has been said to require the player to hold the block button because releasing it will make P lower his guard mid animation making him have less parry frames. This could be why some might think frames are lowered but they aren’t.

You commented at a great time. I'd be happy to argue this. Grinding/Farming isn't good design. I want to play a game and progress regularly like you normally do in these kind of games. Boss Vigor drops matter, item costs do matter. Just because you excuse getting ripped off doesn't mean it isn't an issue. If the game is designed to mimic Souls games, then mimic them or do them better. LoTF does nearly everything worse. You can look at it as a checklist if you want but it's weird how a game is advertised to appeal to Souls players and when it's a worse version of a Souls game, I'm supposed to forgive it when it does something worse. I'm not really sure where you're pulling Elden Ring from. I didn't mention Elden Ring anywhere. The game has plenty of problems... and again... I don't know why you're mentioning Elden Ring. I'm good on the research part, I did enough. Half the game I was doing some research because it had it's own strange way of doing something just for the sake of being different even if the game more annoying to play. I said it's fine if you like the game, but my points are absolutely valid and non of them stem from Elden Ring. I'm not sure why you brought it up so much. Lies of P does things better than From Software does. I could compare it to Lies of P and Lies of P would unquestionably come out on top. I'm not a newbie to these games, I've played Souls games for 10+ years. I didn't come from Elden Ring which seems to be what you're implying. I'd suggest comparing this to the fundamentals of Souls games rather than the one that became the most popular.

@EddieTheBunny Thanks for the confirmation that you're comparing it to Fromsoft's project. Your points are valid to your experience. I had no input issues with the controls and did not participate in multiplayer until they fixed it. Farming is present in Dark Souls 1 and farming the Parish for souls and Titanite before Gargoyles was in the game. You don't have to do that in Dark Souls, you don't have to in Lords of the Fallen. Moot point. Doesn't matter if its Elden Ring or Lies of P being used for comparison. My main argument against you exactly that your video is just a comparison to Fromsoft RPGs eg Elden Ring and co. I simply didn't have the issues that you had and thus I disagree on the basis that outside of technical issues (just input problems you had), it is a list of nitpicks on the basis that the game isn't an Elden Ring adjacent game. Not the most objective perspective, however it is your opinion to have and I respect you 100%. Lords' release was terrible and for many that is unforgivable. People who love this game need to know its flaws as well. Edit: Lies of P has no multiplayer. Disagree 100% there. For many that means it has no purpose as Demons Souls even had multiplayer.

​@@Markytous I don't think there needed to be a confirmation on that. It's quite blatantly a souls game and is advertised as a souls game and sold to Souls game fans. I didn't say farming wasn't possible in Dark Souls 1. The expectation that you need to farm to progress is the part where its bad design. Every time I struggled with this game, the first solution everyone gave was to grind. Other Souls games including Lies of P(The one that's not FromSoft and did it right and in a lot of cases better) you do not need to farm because the game is designed perfectly around leveling up naturally. You can say you don't have to do this in Lords of the Fallen and while that's true technically, everyone I encountered or watched for help uses the exact same tactic, magic coated weapons. I saw zero variety. Everyone used the same thing which indicates there is some sort of issue. Yes, it absolutely is a comparison to other Souls games because the game itself is a Souls game. Am I supposed to compare it to Tetris? Call of Duty? Mario? It is a particular type of game created for particular individuals that play a particular game. One game improved the formula(Lies of P) and one added unnecessary changes that made the game artificially harder(Lords of the Fallen). I'd really stop mentioning Elden Ring because I have my own gripes with that game as well including inputs not registering on Xbox One, frame drops on PC, absurd damage from bosses, bigger deadzones and stun locks that only make the game more frustrating to play. I don't hate Elden Ring but it's not as polished as it could be. Elden Ring is not the gold standard. I'm comparing what both Lies of P and From Software do in both their games. If only one side does one thing, I don't compare them because you can't do a comparison when the element is only present on one side. Lies of P has no multiplayer so I can't compare multiplayer. I can however compare the quest navigation, deadzones, level progression, healing mechanic, dodge mechanic, parry mechanic(particularly with Sekiro), the fact that Lies of P objectively has less stun locks, less delayed attacks(This one being bad or good is subjective I'll grant), combat fluidity, critical attacks, customization, etc.. Lies of P fixed a lot of what From Software should've fixed awhile ago. Lords of the Fallen managed to make the formula worse again(Even though the developers aren't the same as the 2014 release). I stand by everything in this video, I don't believe they're nitpicks because the devs went into the game itself and changed these things so if these things aren't a big deal then why change them? Don't fix what isn't broken. The Dev's main reason for implementing the Umbral realm was because the new engine allowed them to do so. They ignored the good old saying "Just because you can doesn't mean you should". This game would have been much better without the clunky lamp mechanic. Lords of the Fallen quite literally is bogged down by trying to fix what wasn't broken(Aside from armor customization and the control scheme being the best of any Souls game).

@EddieTheBunny Wait you're experiencing dropped inputs on Elden Ring too? Fix/replace your hardware. It is inspired by Dark Souls. Lies of P is well. The term is Souls-like but that's simply semantics. Anecdotally, I never used a build that buffs a weapon with magic in any of my numerous playthroughs in Lords of the Fallen. Its probably meta but I never cared what other players are doing. As I said, I respect your opinion of not liking the game. You don't have to like the game but some of your gripes wouldn't even exist if the game had "Dark Souls" as the title. I didn't check but I think an Elden Ring critique video would unanimously be well received. The DLC was hit or miss and starting a discussion on that would be interesting.

@@Markytous Only on Xbox One X. Inputs work well on PC, I also think it's a hardware issue because Elden Ring is a 2022 game trying to run on an 8th gen console. Well "Soulslike" is only called "Soulslike" because it wasn't made by the original devs of the formula. The game fundamentally is the same which is why I often refuse to use the term "Soulslike". And a lot of my gripes would still exist too. Points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 11 would still be in the video if Dark Souls never existed because I don't need a comparison or reference for those, they are simply done poorly. I critique Elden Ring a ton and I'm met with the most toxic non responses(such as the person that commented just before you) from people that probably aren't even good at the game. I thought about doing an overall From Software improvements rather than Elden Ring alone as I have some issues with all games. The least amount of issues with Dark Souls 3. Could still happen.

LOL Yup. I just can't seem to enjoy many things lately.

No, but the channel is currently having an identity crisis.

@@EddieTheBunny why cuz your channel is mostly known for talking about why blacklist is bad?

I love the style of it. Absolutely love it. It's the mechanics and enemy spam that ruined it for me. Hopefully the second one fixes everything.
