it boggles my mind how someone can play this and think its good
its just a where the fuck do I go game filled with nothin personnels
>where the fuck do I go
really?
is it your first time playing a metroidvania?
did you start playing video games this year or something?
>>338067008git gud
>>338067183
your game is not dark souls, dev
>>338067164
the map is literally shit i beat that fucking dragon after 50 tries and the path just ended. too bad i already played 4 hours otherwise i'd refund this abomination
>make a first character
>rebind the controls to souls controls
>get to the first boss
>he kicks my ass
>multiple times
>finally get past him
>dont feel like playing
>second character
>same thing happens
>play a bit more
>find 3 other bosses
>killed 2 on my second try and the third on my first try
and maybe i should mention that these bosses were almost in the same area
>>338067354
>the map is literally shit
>relying on a crutch
yeah fuck off from this game it's not for you
this game is too fucking dark. maybe they're trying to hide shitty graphics or animations but holy shit, just let me see whats going on
theres not even a brightness setting in the options
>>338067354
you are a fucking worthless brainded scumfuck that should be gunned down in the street like the degenerate you are
>>338067354
>50 tries
wow what, how can someone be this bad
right after that it's where the game start to be a lot more opens too, splits into several direction and have to acquire powers to progress similar to standard metroidvania
probably not just for you if you can't even figure out to revisit a side area in the current dungeon after getting the ability to wall jump
rate my waifu /v/
>>338067354
You gain the ability to walljump after beating the dragon. Go find a fucking place to do the walljump. Hint: it's two rooms away.
>>338067660
I'm done posting on /v/. How was I supposed to know posting my opinion was going to get me insulted.
So did this game get ported yet? I'm interested to see what people on other platforms think of it. I was very pleasantly surprised by it, and even though I just got it as a way to hold myself over for Dark Souls 3, I think I liked Salt and Sanctuary better thanks to the Castlevania-style maneuverability upgrades. I fucking loved how by the end of the game I was dodging bosses' bullet hell attacks by walljumping and airdashing like I was Mega Man X or something.
>>338067008
>its just a where the fuck do I go
Right
>couldn't stand characters' face
>this was my solution
>PC Master Race gets a game
>The threads start rolling in about how impossibly hard the game is and how they can't figure out where to go
Like clockwork.
>>338069124
I don't think Salt is on PC friend.
>>338069447
It is now

It is now.
>>338067354
Wow how bad one man can be
>>338069447
it is, but I don't blame you for not knowing -- it came kinda without fanfare and almost no mention on any news sites, don't recall any prior announcement either
It's so fucking edgy. I love it.
>>338069731
They had always said that it was a timed exclusive and that a PC/Xbone port would be out a few months after the PS4 release, but I don't remember them saying any specific dates.
>>338069897
yeah but normally you actually announce it after it's no longer timed
just kinda came outta nowhere
>>338067792
altho to be fair that dragon killed me so many times dudeuntil i tried enchanting my weapon with items, then his life bar just fucking melted away
>>338069793
It's also the best fucking weapon in the game
>>338070017
I didn't have much trouble with the dragon until I ran a build as DMX with a knife and a pistol, and I got my shit pushed in hard until like my thirteenth attempt.
>>338070249
the pistol is good then? i found it awesome but i'm afraid of investing too much into it and then it turns out to be shit
i was one of the clowns who tried using the twinblade in dark souls II, never again
>>338070127
The Greathammers are better. I took down the final boss in like ten seconds with the tier 4 greathammer, but during my first playthrough with the Jaws of Death, it took me about ten tries to beat him. A lot of late-game enemies have a pretty sizable amount of slash resistance, but not much strike resistance.
>>338070017
killed me 3 times then I realized how easy actually was
at first I thought fire resist was important but the fire was actually the easiest moves to avoid and an opening to do damage if anything
that tail swipe sometimes got me when I thought was going to breath fire though
>>338067660
>quoting dunkey
very fun, now out.
>>>/out/
>>338070387
The most important thing to remember with the pistols (and even crossbows) is that when paired with a light weapon like a dagger, if you slash twice with the melee weapon, and then fire the pistol, the recoil will actually push you back far enough that you'll usually be out of the enemy's melee range, letting you avoid a counter-attack. They do pretty good damage, too. It's perfectly viable.
>saw a message that said "Huge man for you"
This game is alright
>>338067008
The game controls like ass.

Does multiplayer behave the same as consoles? AKA couch co-op?
Playing this game made me mad that the actual Souls games will never have a covenant system as good as the one in the low-budget indie knock-off made by two people.
>>338070719
>that cliff dead end that felt like to exist only for the purpose of people dropping a million messages saying to jump down, secret ahead, etc..
>>338070952
kek
>>338070872
It was right before a boss that was a big guy
>>338069793
>jaws of death opens.
How? I know I'm retarded but how did I miss that?
>>338068460
when you are part of the problem ruining games then you can't be surprised about this, can you?
I mean, like>>338068370 said.
THis is standart vidya shit. If you can't follow those simple ideas, and then have the gall to go on a tibetan fur trading board, talking shit like you know better, while actually being a prime idiot, maybe a movie or book is more your kind of thing
>>338071016
Looking at the reviews, it looks like it's still local only.
>>338071092
It's the strong attack while two-handing it. It's slow, but once you get the first attack off, you can just keep snipping away extremely quickly until your stamina runs out. The best part is that you can go into it from a roll.
>>338071060
>You level up the covenant by going full Jihad on all the other religions
Worth it, too. Those flasks that you can throw at enemies reduces their resistances like fucking crazy. You can kill bosses in seconds after cursing them and hitting them with an enchanted weapon.
>>338071204
Fucking why
>>338069793
Where do you get that?
>>338071693
The game was made by two people on a shoestring budget. It was probably never in the cards to begin with. Funny thing is, the PS4 version had a workaround with the Broadcast Play thing or whatever, but I doubt you could do something like that in this version.
>>338071798
You have to transmute a Greatsword at an alchemist with Wrathful Dead Bindings. The Wrathful Dead are those floating ghost things that attack by screaming. You can find a few of them in Hager's Cavern.
>>338069547
And now this game goes to shit like everything that goes to PC.
>>338070387
I played on PS4 and those later tier pistols are absolutely insane if you pair them with the right ammo.
>>338072230
Yeah, I sure will have fond memories of that one thread that was ever made about the game on the day it came out.
What classes are strong?
Pleasantly surprised by it, especially when the game starts to toss in the Metroid/vania-style movement power ups at you.
Only issue outside of the character design is that a lot of stuff is pretty damn overpowered and that the bosses I've encountered so far fluctuate greatly in quality.
Some like the wyrm or that knight at the beginning were pretty well done while the best tactic for others like the cyclops or the queen seems to be "fuck it, just slash at it, block a bit and heal once in awhile".
Still, for a game made by two people it's impressive as hell.
>>338072591
Classes matter even less in this game than in Dark Souls, since all of your stats are tied to perks you purchase on a Sphere Grid-like tree, and the only differences between them are starting gear and which two perks are unlocked by default. That said, the Knight and Paladin have fantastic starting gear.
>>338072938
To me, the most impressive thing about it is that it actually "gets" what makes Dark Souls special in the first place, unlike a few other knock-offs that just copy the stamina bar and checkpoint system and call it a day. And there are a few ideas that I'd love to see in actual Souls games, like how leveling up Covenants give you access to replenishable consumables. Having a lightning-buffing item that refills at sanctuaries like an Estus flash is fucking fantastic.
I'm sick of souls games, 2bh. I couldn't even stand Hyper Light Drifter for more than an hour.
I get the appeal, but at a certain point, I want games that have an actual substantial plot that isn't hidden in item descriptions or meaningless cutscenes in my RPG's.
Protip:
Unless you are going for something specific on a tree, you can put more than one point (pearl) into a general slot, ie carry capacity, dex, etc., up to five points in one slot.
>>338073518
are you kidding me
>>338073613
it'd be impossible to do all that specialized builds otherwise since you just run out of nodes
progressing on the grid really just to get specific stuff (proficiency, potions, etc..) rather than stats
>>338073613
It's generally only useful on New Game + when you've filled out your tree and don't want to go down the Dex path for maybe one or two extra Strength along the way. There ARE little dots on the perks to denote how many times you've bought the same one, but they could have been more clear in explaining it.
Why does everyone looks like that faggot from Mr Robot
>>338067008
What do you think of platformers?
How is this game?
>>338073518
>>338073958
I'd love to know why they don't make it apparent you can go past 3.
They have the 3 dots there already just make it 5. I was past the caverns before I accidentally figured it out.
>30fps
Dropped
>>338074203
It's surprisingly good, but it is a Dark Souls ripoff and a half. Whether or not you can forgive the creators for being unoriginal will have a huge impact on your enjoyment of the game.
>>338074203
It's alright to play while waiting for a newer game
Poison dagger builds are super viable in this game, smear some pessmud on a dagger and you can shit on practically every boss with it
Poison in this game seems to keep stacking past the threshold for bonus damage or something

>mfw accidentally finding Mal's Floating Castle on my second playthrough
I have no idea what to do on that autism skill tree, I'm level 20 and just clicked on stuff leading up to the highest sword icon
>>338075275
That's pretty much what you're supposed to do. Go for whatever weapon types you like, because purchasing them will give you the equivalent amount of points in the associated stat anyway. Like, buying the Rank 3 Sword skill will also give you three points in Strength, and you've probably picked up some extra points in dexterity and willpower along the way. As >>338073518 pointed out, you can put up to five points into any of the basic stat nodes, so the only reason to buy new ones is to make a path to the next "big" upgrade, like higher-tier armor or another Estus flask.
