Echoing the performance problems on consoles for the nth time. Just got to a boss fight on PS4 and when a certain spell is cast along with mobs the framerate tanks to single digits and becomes a slideshow. I blame myself for not getting it on PC but in my old age I've become rather fond of my couch. Once again the first major patch (5 gigs) has not helped. It's definitely a more arcadey Dark Souls and I really hope performance is fixed soon...

If you would rather I not discuss technical issues on console then I would like to point out that a friend of mine who has neither a PlayStation 4 or Xbox 3 system had purchased this for PC on the Steam platform, and he cannot even launch the game.

Seriously, though, I was wanting to get this on my PS4, so everyone posting impressions of the technical side of things for the console versions is doing a great service to me and anyone else on the fence. Sorry you guys had to step on the landmine first, though.

AMD cards tend to have some issues with PhysX (An NVIDIA technology I believe) so this would totally make sense and could save some people. I'll add it to the op. PS4 issues could also be related, hopefully they can push a patch that just disables the physics effects for console. They're really cool but its not game-changing. HOPEFULLY its something that simple, and the console versions aren't just borked.  Also hearing some people having serious issues getting the PC version to work. Foxhound posted:These crashes are killing me ugh. Even pulling it down to High didn't really help. Try Medium, the game is really graphically intensive. And/or try poptart_fairy's fix to disable PhysX effects, that should help loads.

the developers of this video game may have no idea what they are doing and only tested specific high-end system setups they knew that they would be using completely failing to take into account the lower specs of console platforms or more generally-available personal computer specifications much like ea and dice did wheb mirrors edge would not work on systems running amd/ati video cards hecause physx could not be disabled

Rock Paper Shotgun just posted their take on the PC version. Opening paragraph:quote:Lords of the Fallen is the first of what will surely be many clones of the Souls games – which is great! I adore the Souls series and think the action-RPG genre could learn a tonne from them. Lords of the Fallen, unfortunately, is not the brightest child in the class, and more to the point the PC version is currently in a right old state. Hero Harkyn faces tonnes of nasties, but the worst of the lot is the game itself. With any luck it will eventually be a playable, slightly braindead game.

So I ended up finding a masked monk who seems to have given me a quest to find....sigils I think? And he gave me a ring which I equipped but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for or even a general area of where it is. I figured it would be in the general vicinity but I've scoured everywhere up until that lady who I give the daggers to and I've found nothing.

Holy poo poo this game needs 6GB of RAM minimum? I guess that explains the loading times and choppyness but drat. It's not an ugly game but it's not really that impressive looking to justify the system requirements.

Small and Blue posted:Holy poo poo this game needs 6GB of RAM minimum? I think it looks every bit as good as like Arkham City or slightly worse than Shadow of Mordor. They're a lesser developer so they're not as efficient. And 6GB isn't all that crazy these days, pretty drat affordable. But yeah, it does suck it isn't more efficient, especially if its causing issues for console. I wonder how many people having issues just don't meet the minimum requirements...

The game runs great on PC. I've an amd card: once I updated my drivers, it was grand. I'm having fun so far, it reminds me of warhammer fantasy. I'm at the second boss and only have two potions. I could've sworn I had three. I gave a potion to a monk, does that decrease your potion count permanently? I didn't want to help him that much!

adamarama posted:You start with two, yes? Where's the hidden one? I may have gotten it already, not actually sure where i got the third. I'm definitely down to two now though, that monk owes me! There's a section in the starting area before you get to the first boss, there's a half-closed gate with some boxes and barrels in front of it. You can smash the boxes and barrels, and then you can roll under the gate. Inside is a chest containing an empty potion. CharlestonJew posted:zaphod stop dick riding the game in the RPS comments section I'll post whatever I drat well please, thanks. I usually agree with RPS but I disagreed with them heavily over shadow of mordor (great game) and I call em as I see em.

The RockPaperShotgun review has some interesting things, but like, uh, I don't think "boss that shoots blades and summons smaller creatures for distractions" was made up by Dark Souls. Also I think it's kind of lovely journalism to take a quote from the Dark Souls design process and then just say hypothetically that Lords of the Fallen would be the opposite thing. I do agree that Luck is kind of a nebulous thing in RPG games as a stat, but, meh. Edit: The guy also presents the "Diablo III aesthetic" as he calls it an objectively bad thing, when I don't particularly mind it. Edit2: I expect this kind of backlash at a game wanting to be a "Souls clone", though. It's either too far removed or too close for people. Kind of reminds me of all the God of War-alikes. Some of them were okay, but you couldn't read any article without someone smugly pointing out that Kratos did it first. Firstborn fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Oct 28, 2014 |

Well I guess maybe the day one patch hit. I wish I knew how to check on my Xbox One. The framerate seems better. At least now when there's a fire source and an enemy on the screen, my FPS is ... well, borderline playable? I've fought three bosses so far. All fights were fun in their own way and I really like the "kill a boss in a certain way and get a unique drop" mechanic. Like for instance, the third boss, Worshiper, occasionally summons adds. If you have him kill a certain number with his own attacks, you get a unique axe. Fun! The game seems good, but man, maybe cut down on the loving filter effects next time, guys. It's nice to have obscene amounts of blur everywhere but it'd be nicer to have a playable framerate. If the game runs well on the PC, I could see myself really enjoying it.

Updated the OP to warn people about the technical issues. Some people who definitely meet the minimum specs on PC are still having major issues, and consoles sound like they're in a terrible place right now.Firstborn posted:The RockPaperShotgun review has some interesting things, but like, uh, I don't think "boss that shoots blades and summons smaller creatures for distractions" was made up by Dark Souls.

I do agree that Luck is kind of a nebulous thing in RPG games as a stat, but, meh. Yeah, I think its a pretty poor review. RPS hides behind "oh its just a wot I think not a review" any time that happens, which is kinda weak. They're usually pretty drat good, the only not-complete-shitheads in the game journalism department. Their shadow of mordor review was equally terrible. Half the review was bitching about not getting an early-access review copy (really guys? That happens pretty often, as much as it sucks) and then the other half bitching about how orcs came back from the dead because they didn't understand the basic game mechanics yet.  If you'd only read their review, you'd think it was garbage, and IMO Shadow of Mordor is probably GOTY.

Hell, I'd even rate IGN above them at this point, so if they're taking a dump over this game it can't be that bad! I'm gonna grab this first thing tomorrow morning, I'm just worried about performance. We'll see I guess.

I'd just like to once again rave about how good the animations are when you're in heavy armour. Every step feels really weighty and the larger weapons aren't wielded against your enemy so much as simply lifted up and dropped on them.

I'm a lot more inclined to trust overall community opinions than RPS here--I was pretty wary of their reviewer just from the preview they posted a week ago, because all he did was endlessly compare it to dark souls like everyone else on the planet and jesus I just want to read if the game's any good, not how much it is or isn't like this different game by different people. When I saw the same person would be doing their review I figured I'd need to get my opinions elsewhere, turns out my prediction was right. It's good to know about the technical problems though. My system seems to be in the group that can supposedly handle the game ok (Windows 7 64 bit + nvidia GPU), but I'm not quite sure if I want to wait or not. Does anyone know this developer's track record for fixing technical problems? It even looks like it's furiously typing.

Sorry, but that RPS review is pretty even-handed. Disagreeing with some of the opinions in it is one thing, but hyping the game in here before release, ignoring all flaws after release, and eagerly putting down the source of negative reviews is super weird.

I know the game has only been out for like 4 minutes, but how is the environmental variance looking? Does the vast majority of the game take place in Not-Diablo3's-Skycrown-Battlements Castle or are there a bunch of environments to explore?
