this is why we should stop seeing scores anymore. even Steam reviews are rigged. we should learn to read and understand their opinion. is the game is interesting for us based on their opinion or not
For those saying "another souls game", about a 100 FPS games release every year and a whopping ~400 ROGUELIKES too. Yet, we don't see these kinds of comments under those reviews. It's fine. Enjoy what you want. Ignore these games, don't watch the videos. Leave them for those of us who care.
Yes we do. FPS have been influenced by COD for a decade now, Rogue-likes go back to the 80's. It's not a bad thing to be a soulslike, but the bar is high to be a third person hardcore ARPG
Roguelikes are games that never gets old (for me) they can be very unique like Balatro, Binding of Isaac and Enter the Gungeon. They are very addicting and there are an absurd amount of unlocks that makes it even more fun. You can sink many hours in those games, its rewarding and feels fresh for a very long time playing it
Maybe you should stop comparing them to “Dark Souls” then. If maybe you used a term like 3rd person ARPG it would do better. That’s why this is a solid 6
Game is pretty. And janky as hell. Feels bad to play. The combat is so repetitive because the enemies all have the same move sets, including some bosses. And the weapons have no variety. The enemies are already repetitive in the first five minutes. This game is so disappointing. Bummer.
Wow it's almost like the vast majority of games are good and not bad, but also not great. It's almost like the natural distribution of scores would fall on a bell curve and only an idiot would expect each score to be distributed evenly across every number.
I did not like the way this game looked at first from watching gameplay videos, but went ahead and bought it anyway. This game is actually fun, tbh. It's not at all as bad as some people are saying it is, imo. on a side note, people need to start thinking for themselves and get off the hate train. I swear you haters feed off each other. If you don't like the game just move on to something that you do like.
Intel had a problem about burning his capacity , and btw a reviewer should know better that in a sunny place you have problems then maybe lowering shadow is the solutions .
Got to the 4th area so far...honestly its pretty good. Right behind lies of p. Parry system is good. Lords of the fallen sucked ass and honesrly this is way way. The colors are so fkn pretty
Yes there's a dedicated button and you can jump regardless of sprinting, but unfortunately there is no additional forward momentum for jumping while sprinting
It’s crazy to think a 3070 isn’t enough for todays games because these devs just refuse to put in any time optimizing their games anymore and don’t realize how much money they are losing releasing buggy games. Nintendo is still king because most of their games release mostly complete and other devs need to start thinking about this.
There is no i9 9000, unless you meant the 9900k? And of course your gonna have issues with stutters you’ve got a 3070 which has 8gb of VRAM, which testing shows typically can’t even play 1080p anymore at high/ultra settings because it exceeds the vram buffer causing stuttering.
2:05 "it all gets slight UNDERMINDED" Yeah, real reliable and highly educated reviewer using words that don't exist. And running from optional bosses because can't be bothered to git gud.
this game is at best a 5 even if it didn't have the performance problems. As is the game is a 3 or even a 2. horrible performance isn't just a minor flaw and needs to be taken seriously if you want devs to actually focus on fixing it and not just putting out half optimized games
Most games released are mid (7) treading on familiar grounds for obvious reasons, not terrible but not great. Idiots continue complaining about games being rated a 7. Well that’s because that’s what they are, serviceable games.
@@fabolousjada5070 I’m not saying 7 isn’t good. It’s nothing innovative or ground breaking and has some issues but it’s not bad. At this stage in gaming most studios know how to make a decent game and that’s a majority of what we’re seeing. The people complaining about 7 are idiots because they can’t seem to realize that most games are just decent with a few being actually bad (lotr golem) or exceptional.
no, generally feel of movement and combat is very important. devs think flashy bossfights make these games good, but it's the satisfying thunk when my sword hits an enemy. if it passes through them, I'm out
Dude talking about how dark Souls games are and how they dont use sunlight well, definitely has never visited Majula or even made it out of the tutorial section of Elden Ring....
On the game Steam page, devs recommend " Intel Core i7-8700 (3.2Ghz) or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (3.6 Ghz)" CPU and "NVIDIA GeForce 2080 or AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT or INTEL Arc A770" GPU for the best experience. So he tried and reviewed it on a better rig. Consequently, complaints are due.
Elaborate please, since lies of p is the closest to a souls game, ergo it's not a breath of fresh air, it's more or less the same. Lords of the fallen and this one feel different and are actually doing something different so they are actually the fresh ones. I'm not talking which games are better, but about their uniqueness in this space
Like most "souls likes". Wait 9 months for tons of patches and fixes, then this will probably be worth it. At half the cost. Love these games. But this one not hitting the spot yet. Hopefully in a bit
Nooooooo regular action games are so easy they might as well be walking simulators.....souls games are a gamers game they have everything a game should have
The "7s" just show that you've no idea how to rate games. If you had an actual review process there wouldn't be vastly different games in terms of quality having the same score. Laughable.
Someone who runs away from optional bosses because they are hard, Is not the right reviewer for a souls like

Is there any way to activate the vibration on the controller on this game on Ps5?
basically: The devs put too much money in marketing and not enough in the actual game. VERY cool concept, though.
Game is buggy as hell. Refunded it and will wait for a sale when the bugs hopefully get fixed.
I'm just going to guess right now they give it a 7,.... because they give _everything_ a 7

How is a game reviewer for IGN using a 3070 graphics card??????
Meaning? He should run it on a better card or more like on the current medium one (2k series)?
Is there visual gear progression? I.e. looking cooler the higher level/stronger you are in the endgame?
Why do they allow 7s? They should adopt The Verge guidelines (“world of no 7s - take a stance, etc.).
Before watching: Anything other than a 7, I would be extremely surprised.
Just finished watching the video. There is it haha.
Been playing on ps5 and im loving it. pc ports sucks
