There needs to be a hard mode on release

Yeah, that or I hope the difficulty eventually scales up as the game progresses. I assume there has to be a "hard mode" after beating the game though.

The changes I think I can tell from the beta are a longer parry window and almost no recovery on parries, which means more stamina, which means you can attack/Dodge and block more.

Also damage done seems higher and taken seems slightly reduce. The stun from Stamina drain seems to recover quicker also.

He ain't lying. This is a $20-30 purchase during a drought.

I'm really not seeing how, what games are full price purchase and why?

Not the umpteenth Souls/Nioh clone, that's for sure.

Made it to Stormpass

This is not a bad game, just a generic one. It checks all the boxes if u need a Souls fix.

If I had to describe it it's like a Demons Souls/Bloodborne/Lies of P hybrid with some Black Myth Wukong sprinkled on top

I'm intrigued enough to finish the demo, if this game had caught me at the right time I could see myself playing through it. Unfortunately I have bigger fish to fry in my backlog, I might come back to this eventually

Y’all not really getting wicked with the skills

Oh this game is dope as hell.
Sits somewhere between God of War and the Souls games.
The graphics are dope. Love the enemy damage. The story is interesting, the controls are great and the performance is fantastic.
This is a really solid foundation.
If the levels remain interesting and the story stays engaging this could be a top game this year. It doesn’t reinvent anything or push the genre forward per se, but so far it checks every single box that matters in a video game without a hitch.
I could see people that had their fill on the genre passing it up though. I was late to the party with Elden Ring and around beating that game and the DLC I finally get what everyone else was talking about. The bar is just too high to meet.
