If you watch the Dying Light 2 previews, just tell me if it’s good as I won’t watch them to not spoil myself with new features or mechanics etc. I’m pretty sure it will be a hit but would be good to just have another confirmation.

As for Elden Ring it’s my most anticipated game of 2022 with Dying Light 2 & Starfield.

Indeed not a game for everyone but if you like Miyazaki’s games you know what to expect. It’s not difficult for the sake of difficulty but it’s challenging for the sense of accomplishment and when you succeed it’s deserved and the reward behind is worth it.

If there’s a network test you should give it a try plus you could always play it in coop to have friendly help in your adventure.

Okay, I will let you know if it’s good. Just stay out of the Dying Light 2 topic that I update from time to time in order to avoid more in-depth information and videos.

I would like to see From Software develop a straightforward game without “having to reclaim my souls” or whatever it’s called in Elden Ring. The constant doing stuff over just isn’t for me. I’m sure it will score in the 90’s or so and be a great game for those who love their games.

P.S. - Three days until we get new gameplay for Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad!!

Aeon Must Die! Coming from died to consoles today

@Ruthwik_Rao

Yeah that’s the one I remember.

Either way I’m not sure if unionization is in the interests of megacorporations so that’s both games and vfx industry doomed to a degree.

It works perfectly fine in countries where workers have rights.

If you don’t die you don’t have to reclaim it but even if you die it’s not mandatory to reclaim it only if you lost too much XP and refuse to let it go lol.

I can assure you sometimes I lost over 40000 xp in a playthrough and maybe more in others you learn to live with it that’s the way it is lol.

Tbh sorry to disappoint you but I don’t think Fromsoftware will make games like you said strictly straightforward cause it’s a deep and complex gameplay system loop really carefully balanced that really suits their games perfectly. Of course like you said these games aren’t for everyone.

Thanks for DL2 bud I count on you then for the spoilerfree impressions.

Also I’m really looking forward to Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad. 2 potentially great games hopefully.

One thing Im absolutely glad Ubi took away in Valhalla is their mercenary system. Absolutely neat concept but horrid implementation.

You be fighting a horde and suddenly 2 mercenaries arrive to ruin your day.

It was the equivalent of this every time it happens lol.

Nah fr lmao. One time I remember trying to clear a fort and like 3 of these dudes showed up at the same time.

[ProgStopper]

Man, I’m not grooving with Visage at all.

I wanted a super spooky PT clone, but the controls and survival inventory system just get in the way of the spooks.

I want to be spooked, not hassle with inventory.

I’ll give this another go, maybe I chose the wrong starting story.

Sheeesh, straight for the jugular, nice. I can’t be waking up to this kinda bangers

Sounds like Sekiro would be more your style. Have you played it?

It’s more forgiving in this aspect, where it only takes away half your experience gained after death, and you can just store away the money gained into pouches which don’t drop even after you die. There’s also a chance every time that you die for you to not lose anything, called “Unseen Aid”. Only one thing is that mechanic is tied into the game narrative, and the more you die, the lower the chance becomes. But you can still reset the chance percentage at regular instances in the game. It’s also not as big of a problem as you can easily just get back the money by grinding out enemies a bit which is still gonna be significantly faster than Dark souls because of its fast paced nature of the combat.

It’s also less of an rpg and more of an action adventure.

Yes. I played it for a few hours. Got up to the boss who rides a horse. Beat him but just wasn’t feeling the game at all. The only other game I played from From Software was Bloodborne which was about ten hours. I can see and understand why people love their games but I can’t get into them at all.

Damn, that’s the first boss.

It’s fine, no worries. Not every game is gonna capture everyone, and in the same ways.

[Daniel]

I actually really like the whole collectathon and check list doing of the Ubisoft games, nothing is more satisfying as clearing an entire map. I know it’s not for everyone but yeah super enjoyable for me, with the outposts and towers you need to clear I always go for them first to allow me to fast travel over the map before I do big missions to make it easier.

I didn’t like it either.

What’s your view on the controller key+trigger mappings for this game?

[peter42O]

I don’t remember the controller configuration at all if that’s what you’re asking about.

[beastmode10]

@peter42O

yeah - because when I had started the game those controller configurations were a turn off.
