What were the devs thinking when they made this?

Why not enjoy both?

Does it run 60fps on ps4?

AHH I WANT IO'S MILKIES

yes and no

It struggles to keep 30 on a pro.

this demo was kinda meh, but maybe the Nioh2 alpha spoiled me

gameplay feels needlessly limiting. Like you can't switch weapons while running,
only being bale to equip 8 skills feels way too limiting to the gameplay's true potential, especially considering that most of them will be just mandatory trivial stuff like heals and buffs. It's also not very comfortable to use d-pad skills while also trying to run.

hard to tell when exctly the enemies die. Like they sometimes even stand up before dying a sec later if you killed them on the ground. This often makes you hit them more times than needed, wasting stamina and leaving yourself open

hard to see what attacks can not be parried or blocked without already testing them

biggest issue/concern is the visual monotonity of the Depths. I know it is just a loot grinder area, but not even in the trailers slhave we seen a lot of variety in any level. The hub is comfy tho, game needs more areas with that level of variety.

gameplaywise too, the depth's level design is just nothing. It's just hallways.

important info should not be hidden under the trivial shit it the hints section. Not knowing how staggering/focus mechanic works makes the combat feel a lot more clunkier than it actually is. Not knowing how skill mastering works doesn't give you an idea about the potency of character building/progression

the game being balanced around having an AI partner is nice tho. Good that the game is still really challenging with them, opens up new playstyles that would be broken in other soulslikes but work well here.
Sadly this can't be said if a player joins in. At minimum they should replace your AI partner, but they should also be level synced and the enemies should be more agressive instead of just getting a bit more damage.
This is also a wasted potential because being a legitimate, nonbroken coop soulslike would be a good enough selling point in itself but as of now only the AI partner is a well balanced experience

It can, but there are a lot of particle effects that can cause a drop in framerate

>no hitstun
>weapons have no weight to them
>its easy as fuck

nah, it sucks

Who cares? It has tiddies.

Could you switch weapons while running in Souls?

based and tittypilled

the depths was literally barebones area for the sole purpose of the test

i don't give a shit about tits in video games. if i wanted tits i'd watch porn

adding to this, you should be also able to map different skills to your different weapons

also potentially hold 3 weapons instead of 2, considering that there are not even separate ranged weapon slots

I like the cinematic backstabs, but I think that's because I really like the mask mechanic/the zoom in on the characters face. They need to fix the thorn tho, the camera kept bugging out for me.

See here's the thing, these are valid points. But it's like Dark Souls II, where it doesn't really matter because the game is about fashion and multiplayer.
7/10 gameplay is fine. It's mostly tolerable, and that's enough when it's propped up by waifu/husbando shit.

When it comes to parrying and blocking, your instincts are typically correct.

respectable reply.

>no hit stun
You can stunlock pretty much any non-boss enemies to death, though

good post
game looks fun as fuck too

hitstun works the same way it does in other soulslikes
enemies(and you) can just enter a "focused" state after a while where they are not staggered, which is actually a cool mechanic. The problem is that the demo doesn't even explains this without you also digging through all the trivial stuff in the hints menu

I also definitely wouldnt call it easy, it's pretty much on par with other soulslikes

I agree that backstabs and parries are way too long considering that they are a more important part of the gameplay here

its easy for me, but that's because i've spent thousands of hours in souls games

Use heavy attacks if you want staggers

It was a lot of fun but it seriously needs a lot of polish still. I hope they take until December to release it or even delay it again honestly.

I don't mean sprinting, I mean normal running /not-walking. Switching a weapon in CV is like using an estus in ds2. There is no point in it being so slow

>they will never fix the female running animation

Good. it's cute

Ah, I see what you mean. I agree that running making you unable to do a lot of actions was annoying, especially when you are trying to launch the enemy or do the special attack
The MC slowly falling asleep when left alone to sit was pretty cute.

Attached: Chiyo sleeping.jpg (1200x675, 108K)

How were you supposed to launch enemies anyway?

>Be in focus mode
>R1 + heavy attack

>thought for a few hours that the enemy being in focus mode meant it was time for you to use it

Hah. A surprising amount of people didn't read the tutorial.

>reading
lmao gtfo with that nerd shit

You read my post, nerd

if anything, they should have put out a network test/beta after the second blood version and before the delay so they could have a list of things to fix since the tutorial level and the core content in the test basically already existed back then
then they could have realized that everyone hates the running and death animations, etc
as of now I have no confidence that more delays of any length will actually lead to meaningful improvements since nothing fundamentally changed since July

oh shit

There was an R1+heavy attack too? Shit, I’m retarded.

I just looked at the pictures, alright? I didn't know that the enemy could do it as well

The combat felt poorly executed.
When you hit an enemyyou don't feel like it's being hit rather you feel your weapon semi-glancing from it and dealing some damage.
The combat felt much better in souls/nioh.
There seems to be a lot of customization going on on many levels but it's all kinda meh. No spark.

i didn't get a key :(

it's kusoge but enjoyable kusoge.
I enjoyed playing with the heaviest biggest weapons i could find but the light weapons sucked ass.

level design is horrid, bosses were fun

R1 + Heavy attack always does the launch attack, but it only launches when you are in focus mode.

I like jerking off to big tits. The bigger the better. 2D, 3D, 4D, it doesn't matter. I like when they bounce, I like when she bends forward and you can see em hang. I like when she sucks them on her own, or gets them sucked on. Bonus points if they're full of milk. The best part thou, is the slow tease and reveal of titties coming out to play. Nothing better that a nice view of cleavage that gets bigger and bigger as she slowly pull down on her shirt. Sometimes I dream about being a mountain climber, but instead of climbing a mountain, I'm scaling a huge pair of tits and I make camp at the nipple, because of course I can't climb the whole thing in one day. Sometimes I dream about being Atlas and holding up the biggest breasts in the universe.

It's not a well made tutorial to be honest, it just dumps a ton of shit on you when you're still trying to figure everything else out.
I'm sure 99% of the players eyes glazed over when the thirtieth pop up appeared. "I just want to play, I'll figure it out"

11/10 character creator
6.5/10 gameplay
It's ok and will satisfy my hunger for a soulslike game while stroking my waifu boner.

I feel like they had to cram as much stuff as possible into the tutorial for a demo.

I hope you all remember Oliver the Tax Evader and his sacrifices

he sacrificed a child for fucks sake

It spends a little too long trying to explain blood codes in a way that makes them seem more complex than they actually are, when it should have spent more time showing you the basic inputs

I’ve seen several people who didn’t know you could combo into drain attacks, or that R1+attacks were even a thing

And I hope you remember that, user

I like vidya girls running around and fighting in very short skirts

why

and he was a good friend

That's what happens when you don't pay your taxes

Mixed feelings. It was entirely mediocre but I still want to play more despite that.

but I barely knew him

the best friends are the ones you don't need to interact with much regularly

>I’ve seen several people who didn’t know you could combo into drain attacks, or that R1+attacks were even a thing
It's not the tutorials fault that some people have the attention span of a goldfish

that doesn't sound like a healthy friendship

>the best souls game has more going for it
obviously

Hey Faggots,
My name is Coagula Spinam de Exsanguine, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are mindless, retarded, Lost who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass decal flags. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any Vestiges? I mean, I guess it's fun killing other people because of your own thirst, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to those giant fat women.
Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was captain of OPERATION QUEENSLAYER, and starter on Depth exploration. What operations do you partake in, other than "jack off to tall cat girls"? I also get straight A stats, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just melted into me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

is there a release date for this game?

Most likely at E3

I FUCKING HATE HAIR CLIPPING

after the 14th but before the heat death of the universe

Based.

What was your guy's experience with other players?

Io is absurdly cute

7/10 gameplay is generous

Pretty bad. When hosting there was no lag but most players sucked ass, no one even knew that you can revive each other. When joining it was incredibly laggy. I don't really understand why the netcode is so shti, God Eaters netcode works just fine and it's made by the same fucking people.

The majority of the times I got summoned, it was for queen’s knight, and the majority of those times they died shortly after entering the second phase

The rest of the time I saw a lot of people who apparently weren’t aware you could backstab the duo bosses, or what the revival skill was

>farming medals
>summon dies
>heal them
>they immediately die again

>Implying I'd waste half of my HP to revive your ass
Shouldn't have died in the first place

To be fair, you can't move immediately afterwards but can still get hit so if you revive someone during an enemies combo they get hit immediately and die. Pretty dumb.

Immediately wasn't the right word, but I agree that it's a bit silly that they can get killed immediately while getting up. I guess it's to make you pay closer attention to what happens when you revive someone, but still
>Revive the host multiple times
>host doesn't revive me

All the created characters I've seen from this game reminds me of Freedom Wars. Is the character creator like a more in depth version of Freedom Wars?

>I guess it's to make you pay closer attention to what happens when you revive someone, but still
Yeah, but that's not really possible since if you wait too long they die for real. You pretty much need to revive asap.

That’s a poor attitude for cooperative play

It takes about three seconds for them to die for real, doesn't it?

Why do you think I played offline only :^)

Something like that but the lag seems to affect it too. Sometimes the revive hit me before the message showed up but I still died.

What are these things?

It sounds like you already climbed the whole thing in one day though

I kept on getting hit by the first slash of the ones with swords. I swear, that attack comes out faster than it should

Spent more time making characters than actually playing the game
Got to eh level 45 and didn't hate it though, I'll probably get it

It's horrible

If they don't fix the netcode this will be very short lived

Don't care for the Dark Sould gimmick, but I like the characters and the story seems interesting.

Io helps a lot with keeping my attention.

oh I remade it with a clearer picture of blade bearer but forgot to upload it
the original with davis is still superior though

I miss it already :(

Even with my PS4 in sleep mode it didn’t kick me out of the hub so I’m still using the character creator and taking pictures.

I'll take two jugs of distilled water to go, chief

I'll have them all thank you very much

The combat isn't bad, it just needs more feedback. Hit feedback, feedback for enemies getting hitstunned, bullets need more POW to them. Everything just lacks a certain OMPF, ya know what I mean? Still a Day 1 buy for me though, it was fun.

just wait for the next network test

and everytime Io moves there should be bouncing onomatopoeias around her

I want visible jiggle lines coming off her at all times

I'd pay for this mod

runs at 20

Dunno where you DS2 apologists are coming from but you need to fuck off. You're the Sonic 06 faggots of the Dark Souls community kill yourselves.

Think they’ll do another test before release?

Game is shit. Just play MHW.

I can't read cryptic chink scripts

it says thanks for playing multiplayer with us
maybe we'll do it again in the future

I will run it at 60 faps per second haha guys

They know Io is best girl.
