It's cool that Ni-Oh was the first PS3 game ever announced for release and now it's actually coming out, 10 years later.

yeah, I think it probably goes:

monster hunter -> souls

also why don't people make more games like all of these games

People draw that Monster Hunter - Souls comparison out a lot and I just don't see it.

exploration based game w/ animation centered combat is extremely win, but apparently hard to do correctly

It's the combat for me. Movesets from many of the weapons in Souls/Borne remind me of Monster Hunter. The frame or animation based combat, the hitstun and timing, feels similar when I'm running around fighting stuff. Also, it has the same phenomenon where a once seemingly impossible fight becomes easy.

I see similarities in the combat but probably not the appeal, since a big part of the From games is exploring and their crazy lore and Monster Hunter doesn't do it for me there

its surpising that no one has really tried to copy the souls style games yet outside of lords of the fallen.

It was also originally a licensed game based on the movie, but the movie never actually came out so now it's just a game.

dark souls 2 is still a pretty good game, but it gets a lot of aspects of the formula wrong, especially with regards to combat / hitboxes / enemy movesets. and that's a group of devs who are experienced in the formula, too.

Yeah, DS2 feels very uneven. I'm playing through SoFTs now and just started doing the DLC after talking to the ancient dragon. The DLC seems AWESOME but I'm a little exhausted after playing DS2 right after bloodborne and frankly I wish they had just cut some of the older areas and made the game a little shorter.

Like for example doing the dragon's aerie with the mummies that destroy your equipment :jerkingoffmotion:

sliding down ladders does it occasionally. also it makes your jumps shorter for some reason

you can toggle it with, i think backspace? just do that whenever you need to jump somewhere to be sure

There's a ladder in the undead parish that can gently caress you up, but I've never had it happen anywhere else. and no it doesnt mess with connectivity

Turn it off if you ever need to jump somewhere - it totally fucks with jumps.

Wasn't there an issue with it where it ruined durability of gear because they thought it would be a good idea to tie the FPS to wear on equipment or am I thinking of DS2 for PC?

It was DS2 on PC and then they kept it the same in the PS4 versions and said it was never a bug and durability was always intended to be faster like that. To encourage weapon swapping, or as another balance option.

That's been fixed, fortunately.

iron passage is cool, imo, since it's really really claustrophobic, and gives the sense that you're worming your way through a hostile gauntlet of lightning bolts and leaping hollows with giant axes.

also top tier invasion spot, btw.

Oh, you just jump like half the distance at 60fps, its not like you actually clip through anything. Hit backspace to toggle it on/off and brace your eyes for the frameyness

btw the second best thing about DSfix is the ability to turn off the unskippable bandai namco logo when you launch it
