    NEW Giga Tips Video for LOTF: ua-cam.com/video/Ywf_Yr8tP8c/v-deo.html
    welp, turned out I was right: WATCH MY REVIEW FOR MORE UPDATED OPINIONS
    Lotf Review: ua-cam.com/video/X-slZgXT_-s/v-deo.html

      So, basically, the only flaws you commented on are: performance, too many mobs, a few AI problems and sometimes lock-on problems? Guess one can live with it (with good hardware :D). It's funny though how all content creators complain about sprinting. Usually you'd hear that the character should move faster and the game would be artificially prolonged because the character moves like a turtle. Now they made it fast and ppl are complaining again :D. If anything, I'd rather take too fast than too slow. Isn't sprinting just a mean to get from one location to another while you are exploring or lost?

    My biggest worry right now is the "too many bad guys" line. One of the reasons From Software's games are always so good is that they never lean on overwhelming you with mobs... every single fight is always dangerous and meaningful, no swarms necessary. If there are too many enemies, then the developer fundamentally misunderstands what makes this genre work.

      it looks that way but when you play the game its not the case at all, you should be instead hitting the thing that GOT you that wither dmg, instead of some groupies that just spawned in. the wither mechanic is only beneficial for you in 1v1s, which the game rarely has

      @technoartfest8708 Рік тому

      Is all relative . Most early reviewers and post game reviews , gave witcher3 a perfect score . Angry Joe a popular review site , gave it perfect score ,legendary status.. I knew that was odd , because witcher 1 and 2 used to have one of the worse combat system in any game and i wanted to see if they fixed it. when i got the game , discovered to my no surprise ,in no time, the Combat and Combat system ,was very close to a total failure.. The hit detection system is awfully bad . If you are using a great sword that is very large and try to hit lets say a Ghoul , you will miss many times ,even with the creature right in front of you. Sometimes it feels as if you are fighting with toothpicks and not with a sword.. and to make things worse Withcher only use swords in combat and a next to useless short bow that do so little damage. So far , that game is by far one of the worse game ever made its combat system , not only the hit detection is wrong , but is also incredibly boring too. THere is no block ,and the parry system is just smashing button contest. Simply very bad.. yet 99% of the reviews game it a perfect 10 score. So will like to see a review of witcher 3 , in this channel , if they don't see anything wrong with the combat.. then is because they are idiots. Since it was always negative in their reviews previous combat system in witcher 1 and witcher 2. The game only good thing was graphics and the rpg part ,but combat was terrible , not like skyrim or Souls games. The character development was non existent , since all you can do was change the skin of your swords.. and that's it.. you don't earn any meaningful improvement or new skills in that game.. Basically witcher 3 , right from the first seconds of gameplay , to the game end plays exactly the same way. And RPG without character development is a contradiction. Not surprising their next game Cyberpunk 2077 its combat is guns but its awful too , very mediocre.. It had to be the shitty engine they use. can't be that they are not aware of it. they moving to unreal engine finally for future. The too fast running speed issue appears to be there . Games all of them ,need to have a true walking speed and
      true running speed. Elden Ring get it right everything. IF you have heave armor plate is slow and if using clothing armor ,you move fast.

Obviously no one can form their own opinion fully unless they've played the game themselves, but if there are issues or aspects of a game that don't appeal to certain people, then people can potentially be buying a game for $60+ and easily go past the return window before they realize the issues themselves. People with a platform with early access should be as critical and objective as possible so the audience can make an informed decision.

    SUPERB early impressions THANK YOU! I’m pumped for the game and have been waiting for some honest impressions. It’s sounds like any issue you mentioned is ultimately patchable but it will be interesting to see if and when the devs do so. I heard (through other streamers) that the devs are actively listening to feedback so that’s encouraging!

    • @PWARGaming

      yup they are listening and patching as we speak, so credit where credit is due, they're busting their ass. when writing the script, a bug that crashed my game every time i talked to certain vendors was fixed, so things are patching for the better. Can only imagine the crunch time the devs are going through tho.

  • @blondie2978

    I will say that the reason they didn't do a demo was because it would have taken time and resources out of production. The game would end up in a sorrier state on launch. Glad to hear the new patch got rid of a lot of problems though!

    I find it a little odd how folks are suuuuuper critical with soulslike games but never as critical with fromsoft games. Like the lies of P complaints from enemy attack patterns to skill trees having "important moves" locked.
    Anyone could have said the same about sekiro but if they do, they are called scrubs and told to git gud. But any soulslike that is not fromsoft? Flawed in some way and incomparable to the OGs i guess...

  • @bingchillin5341
    @bingchillin5341 Рік тому +1

    My issue with the game purely from watching gameplay footage, is how goofy the animations and visual effects look. Not to mention how weak the sounds are. Running almost looks like you're using cheats to make the character faster, it's just absurdly fast and goofy looking. And the attacks and sounds of attacks sound like there's no weight behind it. It just makes the game come off as cheap and arcade-y. Obviously if the game itself has performance issues, that will be a big issue as well. Personally I think the game doesn't look super polished. But we'll see on release.

    I'm running 4070ti/13600k/32GB DDR5 and I'm waiting for a while after launch to see how the dust settles because I don't think the stuttering is necessarily a hardware issue as much as an engine one -- just look at Jedi Survivor. The early signs are there that this game is going to be plagued by shader compilation and/or traversal stutter like so many bad PC versions in recent years. I've seen enough PC releases recently to know that 'this isn't the day one code, there will be a patch' often proves to be little more than cope.
    I know Lies of P is orders of magnitude below this technically, but it's nevertheless been a welcome reminder of what a buttery smooth day one experience can be.

    The radiance spell has a lot of the "Bright" part with a small part of the "covers the screen"
    Umbral spells so far doesn't really have either of the issue as far as I've seen
