Apparently it's too easy or something. It looks kinda interesting but people are reporting all sorts of frame rate issues so I'm gonna wait and see if that gets fixed.

I don't really know anything about it other than some Souls fans are calling it a ripoff of the Souls games which is really funny to me given how much the Souls series "borrows" from everything else.

It looks like, "Well what if not broke brained japs made a soul game," for better or worse. All the soul games are too easy so, that's a ridiculous complaint.

Apparently people that own the console versions are having tons of performance issues, frame rates dipping below 20. The games thread had a number of people voicing these and other issues, but they got called poo poo posters and trolls lol.

it has a staggering number of technical problems and they had to release a 5 gb day one patch on consoles that didn't fix any of them

it is exactly a Souls game only with a few interesting twists and even worse technical performance, and apparently it also plays a little slower? So if you thought Dark Souls was too slow of an action game maybe Lords of the Fallen will just make you mad Also no online of any kind and you play a set character and it tries to have a story and cutscenes and poo poo

The technical issues are reason enough to stay away for now though.

The games do have plots. I thought about that after hitting post.

That's probably down to taste, but the graphics technically look real nice (if the game runs of course) the big dumb story with quest objectives on the screen and boring bald guy protagonist kinda makes me less interested, but also there are still apparently optional areas or areas you can go to out of order so at least it's not totally linear. Still not a full-price buy i don't think, even if it is good

I played about an hour of this. It's certainly slower in a "tanky" sort of way, and it works for the Darksiders kind of look. The roll feels hosed though, as if it's 4-way instead of analog. Not too sure what's up with that. When a hit connects it's pretty satisfying, it's got a real good Bonk! It looks pretty good visually. That's about it.

It looks like it apes a lot of the facets of the Souls games without an underlying understanding of why those mechanics are there from the way everyone's describing it. At the very least they seems pretty earnest and upfront about what they're trying to do. Probably a good title to wait for 50% off in a Steam sale or something.

At the very least they seems pretty earnest and upfront about what they're trying to do. Probably a good title to wait for 50% off in a Steam sale or something. There are a couple of tweaks to the formula that I kind of like (from the standpoint of not having played it yet, of course). You can build up an XP multiplier the longer you go without tagging a checkpoint, so playing riskier gives you more XP. Your "bloodstain" that holds your dropped XP when you die actually leaks XP over time, so there's even more urgency when it comes to retrieving it. But as another wrinkle to that, standing near it gives you a buff that restores a little of your health, energy, and mana over time, so if you died to a tough enemy it might benefit you to not pick up your XP right away and use the proximity buff to make that tough enemy easier for you. Of course you also risk leaking more XP from it and/or dying again and losing it permanently so it's more risk/reward. Also there's a "perfect timing" system with melee hits that lets you consume less energy per swing if you time your button presses exactly instead of mashing and armor is apparently actually useful. And in some ways the way it handles magic is maybe better, in that it's very clearly there to supplement your melee fighting and not to replace it (unlike in Souls where it either makes things really easy/boring or, in DS2's DLC, becomes real close to useless because the games are built around melee) and you have spells no matter what your build is. (I really like magic so I'd also like to see a future Souls game or Bloodborne just plain have more interesting-to-use magic than the current Souls games do, but Bloodborne might not have spells at all and that's fine too) That's probably dragged down by all the bad ideas (boring art design, boring main character, pretty obvious plot, no online), but I'll give it credit for trying new things.
