"Does your blasphemy know no bounds?!"
No, sir, no it doesn't. I'm playing the hell outta this! Watched a little of some early play-throughs and I'm sold.
I really don't understand why they even bothered to attach the name to the 2014 game. Anyway, looks awesome. Probably the next game i buy.
over 3 million units afaikWere sales of the original game even that good?
I have the game in my ps library, so it must have been a ps plus game too.over 3 million units afaik
This is the kind of shit you get my attention with. Love this kind of theme and tone, like in Blasphemous, Dusk, etc."Does your blasphemy know no bounds?!"
Sold over 3 million copies which puts it on the lower end of the Souls games but still respectable numbers.Its just so bizarre to me that this game, of all of the games, is getting a fucking reboot.
Were sales of the original game even that good? Deck13 stuff has never set the world on fire. Why did this get a second chance?

At the time of release there weren't many games aping the Souls formula and the general feeling was that while the game was mediocre to okay it was a decent first attempt and the followup might be able to actually deliver. Nearly a decade later...
Awesome trailer. Would be getting at launch if not for so many other titles coming out.
According to rumour Elden Ring DLC coming out soon, do I really need play clones when I can play actual Souls game?
Clone or not, Lies of P (and hopefully this one) is fantastic. Better than some Souls games imo.According to rumour Elden Ring DLC coming out soon, do I really need play clones when I can play actual Souls game?

I watched some gameplay of it I don’t know, I hate how on the nose is with so called “inspiration”. They literally have NPC talking though the window EXACTLY like Bloodborne.Lies of P is better than some from souls game imo. I definitely enjoy it a lot more, than elden ring for example

I can respect games like Nioh more because even tho it has clear inspiration from Souls games, it’s still very much it’s own game, from combat to its art style and structure.
Most streamers are previewing the game on PC. The ones that I have watched reported the performance to be ok, not great. The only game breaking report I saw was from Rurikhan’s stream who had several crashes and a lost save file after he had played for 7 hours. He noted that he is running an AMD gpu and hasn’t heard of the same issues being seen with colleagues that have NVIDIA gpu.Looks brilliant. I'm not watching any gameplay footage, but have any of the streamers mentioned anything about PC performance? Or did they play on console?
I dont know some its stuff just downright copy of Bloodborne, to the point I'm surprised they not sued yet.Lies of P has enough new shit to make it fresh. It has lots of mechanics
None of it's own sadly: Guard Regain is just Bloodborne's rallying, Perfect Guard is Sekiro's Deflections (right down to the posture damage), Fable Arts are Elden Ring's / DSIII's Weapon Arts, Legion Arm abilities are Sekiro's Shinobi Prosthetic (even has some of the same attacks), The Wish Cube is just Elden Ring's Wondrous Physik, but kinda broken. Heck, even the setting and characters are lifted - the engine too. I do still think it's solid effort with plenty to recommend, but it barely has an original idea to its name.Lies of P has enough new shit to make it fresh. It has lots of mechanics
It's because it was basically the first soulslike clone so even if it was mediocre, people remember the name more than many other better clones.Its just so bizarre to me that this game, of all of the games, is getting a fucking reboot.

I can only understand this to not get burned by the genre, but it's not like we have a from game every 3 months...According to rumour Elden Ring DLC coming out soon, do I really need play clones when I can play actual Souls game?
There is that but also I don’t like how on the nose they are with their copy, it just feels weird, they are trying to be like FROM game but it feels something just off about them.I can only understand this to not get burned by the genre, but it's not like we have a from game every 3 months...
Not gonna lie the ispiration is STRONG, but would you let something so trivial ruin an otherwise great game? It sound like an overly harsh self-imposed rule tbh.There is that but also I don’t how they are on the nose they are with their copy, it just feels weird, they are to be like FROM game but it feels something just off about them.
Games like Nioh in other hand it’s inspired by Souls game but it still very much Team Ninja style all over it.
If FROM stops making games then I might look for alternatives but until then I don’t see any reason to play “Souls-like” game when I can play actual Souls game meanwhile I play other different games. As much as I love FROM I HATE how other devs just want to make “Souls-like”, it’s everyone wants to make modern military shooters in 360/PS3 era all over again.Not gonna lie the ispiration is STRONG, but would you let something so trivial ruin an otherwise great game?

I think you have more to gain trying the game than the opposite.
In terms of level design, it's miles off. I fired up DS3 to see if it was my imagination, but running around Undead Settlement, the difference was night and day. The level design is so much more complex, cohesive, visually distinct and rewarding to explore than any location in Lies of P. The layering is absolutely masterful, with one idea built on another - the way that verticality is used in all kinds of different contexts (not just a ladder or lift), the way that traps and doors work not as gotchas, but as checkmarks that help you memorize and visualise the entire space is insane. Lies of P's layouts are so forgettable and flat, with none of the clever detailing that makes it easy to visualise the space without a map.Lies of P is basically fromsoft quality for most things if you can forgive the strong ispiration, but it does enough to differentiate from bb and sekiro.
