First stage bodied. Died once at the beginning.

I'm saying that the ambiance is a fake Ass dark souls bloodborne. I can tell they were inspired. I mean it's obvious. So many mechanics are straight ripped from dark souls but not in a way where this game comes into its own on the same level.

As slow paced as the action is they may as well bring the camera in. Enemies so far are stupid and are easy as he'll to counter. After you get some decent armor they aren't really much of a threat
It's a level below those games.

Had they added gore the game could have been able to break away from those games on some level but so far just seems like a low rate dark souls with more item drops.



After first stage game sitting at a 7.9


You gonna struggle later. Your stamina management didn't look good and you weren't using the ki pulse. Demons in close quarters gonna end up screwing your later on. You'll see though.

Tighten up your ki pulses.

The game was in production long before Bloodborne, not sure how he thinks its a Bloodborne rip-off.
They have said the souls/borne series were an inspiration
What I don't understand about the critism is the gore thing is mowgli secretly a 14 year old high school student from the 90s? I thought we stopped being impressed with gore ten years ago :jbhmm:

Graphics and ambiance wise I wasn't particularly impressed with either. Your complaint about the action leads me to believe there's no way you beat the beta. As you level up the action gets way better and you can pull off combos straight out of ninja gaiden. Far as the gore, it's a minor complaint. My review of your review is that you made your mind up months ago when you couldn't find the square, triangle, or circle button on your controller. :CoffeeDaigo:All that aside, I'm not very excited about this game myself. I like games where the difficulty is leans more on how smart the ai is, not how well I an animation and time a certain move. That's just me though. I'm anxious to get my hands on Nier Automata, Horizon, and Mass Effect personally.

Don't tell me what I think.

I didn't beat the beta because I knew I was going to buy the game and didn't want to redo hours of gameplay that may have been included in the beta.

I just feel the game is doing what dark souls already does but not as good

I'll continue destroying this game and hopefully my mind will change.

Just wasn't impressed with the first level. Voice acting was good and I enjoyed the boss though

We? I'm not with your clown car team.

If a game has flawed gameplay it can make up for it with violence.

This game has flawed gameplay and therefore needs blood and dismemberment as the payoff

Gore is like ninja gaiden. Heads getting cut off. Bodies cut in half.

:whoo:

I think your judging it to harshly. Best dark souls clone so far.

Definitely will inspire from to kick it up.

And I don't mind this whole souls like thing becoming a genre.
I'm judging based on games they've made in the past and comparing to the game they're trying to imitate.

Art direction and animation are behind dark souls but better than ninja gaiden

Action inferior to ninja gaiden

But I'll continue on. The dismemberment is a plus

the first stage was clearly inspired by bloodborne

When you walk outside and see all this fog and wheeled carts. Reminds me of the first bloodborne stage. That's just how I felt when I watched it.

In production before bloodborne doesn't mean this was done before bloodborne was released. I mean that was a while ago little buddy
