You guys are really overreacting. Its not that bad
Some thoughts about 7 hours in, downed Butterfly and Firebull:
Pros >gorgeous visuals >decent music >pretty good english voiceacting >boss designs >Emma >massive areas with multiple approach options
Cons >floaty movement (that awkward jump lol) >pretty bad, weightless combat >lack of weapon variety and builds turns out really is a problem >some strange design decisions, like consistent putting tanky minibosses that oneshot you surrounded by gangs of trashmobs, and you have to either clear everything every time before fighting the guy, or sneak up to him, and pray that you dont aggro anything else while fighting him >stealth aspect feels tacked on last minute >all areas feel very samey so far, hopefully it improves as the game goes on, really tired of this japanese castle/mansion
Overall its a solid 6/10 so far, having a lot of fun with it for what it is while waiting for the next "real" souls game.
Not sure what do you mean, I've beaten every boss so far on 1st or 2nd try haha, so if anything I'm probably really far in for that time played
Maybe youre not exploring in your game and just rushing through? Could be the explanation

Its the new hot mean to shit on people for taking their time with the game. Shitposters new angle is acting like journos took so long with the game because they are shit and that anyone who doesn't beat the game in under 20 hours is just garbage.

Zoomer here. What's the best soules-esque game to start with? I've been considering picking up either this, Bloodborne, or Dark Souls: RM.

Any except Dark Souls 2. They’re all good.
Demon’s Souls if you want something more akin to classic arcade games in structure, like Mega Man. Fairly minimalist, but in a good way.
Dark Souls if you like huge Metroidvania adventures and RPGs.
Bloodborne if you prefer horror over fantasy, and more visceral combat.
Dark Souls 3 if you want something more linear. It’s worth playing but maybe not the best starting place.
Mason Gray
The first Dark Souls sound the best, but would Sekiro also be a good place to start? I like stealth in my games.

>pretty good english voiceacting Why are burgers doing this? They're the only ones who put up with shitty dub and actually defend it like it would kill them to listen to something different.
Easton Turner
No it would be an overwhelming learning curve
William Myers
>demons souls like mega man >dark souls like metroid WTF
Alexander Carter
I'm doing the japanese audio but I'm just skipping most of it because holy shit the line reads take years, and japanese has shit tier information density in the first place.
David Wilson
no it wouldn't. the combat system is completely different
Eli Moore
same people who think naruto dub is good
Adrian Martin
Thanks for the advice, user. I'll start with the original.

how to spot someone who hasn't gotten past chained ogre
Julian Wood
how do i git gud at this game? am i supposed to block everyone's attacks untill the red symbol appears to strike them? or do i just go agressive and attack them while occasionally dodging/blocking?
Logan Ortiz
>How to spot a Tendie Give it a rest already. You babbies already shitposted the game the whole month before the game's release, enough is enough. It's fucking immature to harbor a seething hateboner towards a game just because there's no Switch port. Grow the fuck up.
You can bait most enemies into doing basic attacks instead of combos or perilous attacks but it only works once or twice.
Cameron Torres
you have to keep attacking them and deflect when they're about to hit. you can't just turtle and deflect and you can't just mash attack, you have to do both at the same time
Christopher Gutierrez
i thought it was bad at first but after beating the game i went from 5/10->8.5/10. It get's so much deeper and better. Shoot for the true ending if you can (hint: claim your free rice and eat it immediately always). The visuals are fantastic, and after you understand the combat it gets wayyy better. This game is ALL about breaking your opponent's posture. Focus on that after they drop below 50% hp where the decay isn't that fast.
>>all areas feel very samey so far, hopefully it improves as the game goes on, really tired of this japanese castle/mansion
>this game set in japan is too japanese :(
Lucas Thomas
all the endgame locations except for the castle are unique and different
Justin Murphy
I don’t get why this game is so divisive. I guess the gameplay is different enough to bother people? I’ve legit seen multiple people saying it’s better than B.B. while others say it’s shit.
Brody Butler
People refused to read the tutorial and are trying to play like it's Dark Souls or BB.
That or people who relied on summons are getting rightfully assblased. This game is now my official casual filter.
>You guys are really overreacting Who is "You guys"?
Carson Martin
Because it's hard and people are getting their ass handed to them. And so have I.
Grayson Lewis
I think being unable to overlevel is a big factor. You can’t really control a games difficulty when you allow leveling and build diversity. With this game they can actually control the difficulty much more.
Jacob Jones
True. I bet that the game will be much easier a month or so from now when the optimal progression path is discovered.
