The WoW like aesthetics don't help, nor that bosses can be shield bashed/charged to death.

I like the Souls games better, but Lords of the Fallen is alright too. It's just very average, and I wouldn't recommend paying full price for it unless you really love the genre (even then you might as well wait until it's on sale).
>>
It's better than DS2 atleast
>>
Shield on your back can block things was cool, and the timed strikes that leads into different attacks depending on your timing was a nice feature but other than those things it's pretty forgettable plus no real replayability and it's way easier than souls. Also that god awful menu design and item/weapon/armor names, what the actual fuck.
>>
>>321215580
Way too short.

>>321215580
Its alright. For 8 bucks or less, its not that bad.
If you are going to give it a shot, play rogue since they start with a buckler and can use dual knives.

>>321215580
No. It's literally and figuratively a poor man's Souls game.

I pirated it out of fear of it being shitty, I hated it, uninstalled and never got back.

I love the souls series, this game doesn't capture not one bit of the charm of souls games, it only tries to be 'hardcore' and 'prepare to die' funny, its not a good game.
>>
Not sure why but it seems way harder than Souls, and I've beaten them all.
>>
>>321218907
That said, I do like the feel and asthetics of the game.
Weapons feel proper heavy, impacts really shake you up.

It's better than Dark Souls 2 for sure.

Let me give you the facts about Dark Souls 2 if you haven't played it.

That animation is worse than most games that came out in 2004. The character walks like he's wearing a back brace and casts on both arms. The movement is so fucking stiff it hurts when in Dark Souls the animation was flawless. Most two-handed weapons when wielded float above your character's shoulder. I know this is small, but that fucking bugs the shit out of me when the devs could have easily made it look better but didn't care to. Shields also float about 6 inches away from your character when not wielded. Again, just shit, lazy devs who deserve nothing more than to get lynched.

Boss design is a joke, most bosses are just larger humanoids and the others are straight ripoffs from something else or just plain stupid. For example, there's the Quelaag ripoff, only this time someone fucked a scorpion. Mytha, the Baneful Queen, who's just decapitated Medusa, Covetous Demon who's literally Jabba the Hut. Demon of Song. I don't even know... it's a frog with a human skull. Putting a human skull/face on anything that isn't human isn't creative. It's fucking retarded. Royal Rat Vanguard which is just a room with a bunch of rats in it. I'm not even joking. You just have to kill a bunch of regular rats. The Rotten, which is just a bunch of corpses cosplaying as a pile of mashed potatoes.

As for the fights, they're laughable at best. Most are just boring, continue walking in a circle to win, trash. Most bosses can be killed without blocking or dodging even if you've never played a Souls game. I don't have enough space here to explain why every boss fight is bad, but believe me, none of them are notable.

Also, the net code is even worse. Imagine that. Lagstabbing is in and it's the only way you're going to win. Also, all thrust weapons are 6 feet longer than they look. If you want to beat the game blindfolded and become the #1 pvper, grab a rapier and spam R1.

Does the game have any variety in setting or enemies? Every footage I see looks exactly the same. Snowy castle exterior/interior, and armored demon mans.
>>
>>321221685
Snowy castle and armored demon dudes. Sometimes a grotesque monster but it's such a generic clusterfuck of a design that it's barely worth mentioning.
>>
>>321221468
how does it sucks monkey cocks? I mean it's not great but it at least was worth finishing.
>>321221662
At least the game doesn't look like a ps2 game.
It's just a souls lite game.
>>
How's the level design in this? It's something that's barely talked.

Linear? Interconected? Stages? Can you backtrack? Explore? Secret rooms or something?

Sometimes it "branches" out. By that I mean they offer you like two paths where one leads to higher level enemies forcing you to fuck off and try the other one.

Hell naw.

It's not necessarily bad, but DaS2 is better and that's definitely the weakest Souls game.
>>
>>321221685

>>321222208
The world is small. You can backtrack but it is not needed for anything except one time. Linear areas with 2-4 paths connected to other ones. A couple of shortcuts. There are lots of secret areas which you can spot quite easily. Usually it's a small room with a chest...
>>
I'm a Souls fanboy, but I honestly tried to get into this game.

Besides the issues I had with the FPS (which I eventually fixed), I just couldn't get used to the gameplay. I prefer dodging over blocking, yet even with literally nothing but my weapon equipped, my roll was horrendous.
I should note, I didn't even reach the second boss in the game.

So tell me, is it possible to even create a lightweight class with an actual good dodge/roll? Or is this game all about wearing the heaviest gear around and using your gigantic shield?
>>
>>321222764
Dump all your points into energy and you will be rolling, dashing with heavy armor on.
In dark souls I played as a very heavy character I kinda liked it, here it feel painful to use any heavy weapon, they are so damn slow.

Ultra dropped. Picked it up on a discount day at gamestop. Returned it 2 days later for full price to buy bloodborne again.
>>
The gameplay is incredibly slow even when dual wielding daggers, the game is short, the replayability isn't there, I wanted to like it but goddamn was it a fucking slog.

Honestly not playing LotF with a heavy build is kinda avoiding the only thing this game does sort of well.

Wearing a huge motherfucking armor here makes you literally ignore some of the hits that would sent you flying otherwise. Also swinging a huge motherfucking hammer feels nice and the impact they deliver is really satisfying. The damage dealt in comparison to their slowness is huge too making it viable.

If you want a Souls game focused on lightweight dodging play Bloodborne.

I found it to be incredibly slow and clunky. I use a 2H weapon and I could rarely ever even get an attack off before an enemy, only to receive INSTANT interruption. This made the second boss (IIRC, forgot its name) nigh-impossible and I dropped it shortly afterwards.

Gotta agree with you, my first run with a shiedless 2-handed light build was extremely clunky and difficult in a bad sense (some enemies simply don't give enough time for a hit and roll, meaning I had to trade hits constantly)

My heavy build with sword and shield was actually manageable and enjoyable even at a higher difficulty
