The gameplay preview was bad because it made me want the game out yesterday. I've watched it three times already.

The charge up sword magic attack against Godrick was so sick.

I don't understand why Ubisoft games are the go-to examples when it comes to open world stuff. None of them were any good. Why not compare with the Saints Row series or Fallout: New Vegas or The Witcher 3 or some of the better GTAs? Like, people are joking about reusing assets, but Far Cry 3 through 5 are basically the same game.

Anyone complaining about reused assets isn't a true fan.

I hope they keep using the same "open heavy door" animation till the day I die.

Realistically this isn't going to be rear end creed, but W3 is exactly what I'm afraid of. Then again it's From - if you fix the floaty controls and cut out all the embarrassing, interminable dialog you might have something good.

Then you could remove 90% of the crafting, a bunch of empty map space, the quest markers, the bandit camps...

Nothing about it beyond being an open world game at all is reminiscent of Ubisoft, so yeah I'm with you and really not following where this Ubi-doomsaying is coming from

My only issue with W3 was the poo poo combat (IMO!!!) so if it's that with Souls combat I am 110% in.

I'm pessimistic about things like map markers and beacons and the guiding light more as a symptom. If they decided to include them early on as a genre convention ok, hopefully I can just turn them off. If they had to add them because the giant unmemorable map can't be navigated without them that sucks.

What is the deal with this new style of marketing for a fromsoft game?

Simply a soft introduction for babby's first fromsoft game?

If you look at the digital manual that came with Dark Souls 3, you'll find that it's not really that new. Even the first page had a lengthy introduction to what Souls games are about.

Edit: found it

I've wanted this ever since I played Monster Hunter World, my first Monster Hunter. They're a perfect fit and I have no idea why it hasn't happened.

Miss Mowcher posted:

Some spells in DD made you feel incredibly powerful, so much fun throwing meteor showers and tornados around.

The mechanic of standing around charging until casting sucked though, they could improve on that.

The MMO that never got released over here did have some sort of rune minigame thing, but I'd actually say that Dragon's Dogma's casting is downright perfect, because it asks you to commit and take risks to cast the big spells, but you can let off early to get different effects. In a party setting, it'd be brilliant.

Wir spielen at 4 am to 7 am because thats the best time for a stress test, of course

I mean at least 3 out of the 5 time slots are good to go, but they could've just made it the whole weekend

Who am I kidding might as well wake up for that

The game download is 6,88gb so I'm guessing it has the start area only.

Very much this, though I don't know if From has the chops to write that game. It's still a better take on this than "open world == Ubi, ER == open world, therefore..."
