I wasn't impressed by the trailer. It looked low detail due to being an open world game. I'm still buying it at launch and going to enjoy it, just felt like everything looked underdone.

lih posted:fromsoft games have never been graphical powerhouses or anything and this was already announced as a previous gen game, so idk why anyone was expecting this to be the prettiest game ever. it looks fine though, just a refinement of their house style with a little more detail & better lighting that you'd expect it to have. the fantastic art direction is really what carries the look of it, even more than previous fromsoft games. It looks less detailed. I'm not commenting on the graphics. The interior shots in particular just looked sparse. From games aren't the prettiest but I feel like there's always a fair bit going on.

VideoGames posted:If you have played NuDes (on the mythical unreleased PS5) I get why people want a graphical powerhouse From Game. Yeah demon's souls is absolutely crazy. It's very hard to walk away from that game and not want more, but I wasn't expecting it from this. I just hope open world doesn't mean this game feels bare. Sekiro's environments are so rich and interesting to explore. The art delivers. I'm sure in the end I'll feel like the opposite about Elden Ring because I'll just go wandering off somewhere and find some neat thing and get that open world "I'm the only one that's seen this" feeling, which will be super awesome in a From game with From sensibilities.

Ghislaine of YOSPOS posted:i thought that leaked clip was fake because it looked like a bunch of recycled ds3 animations and now I feel foolish The animations don't looks that great but I am intrigued by that big leaping attack. I wonder what the go is with mobility this time. The character movement looked way more extreme than previous games which I'm on board with. I'm not making GBS threads on the animations the game is still ages away and can only get more polished.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:man, if there's one thing i thought looked flawless it was the animations. like are we even looking at the same game? and coming after sekiro no less, the game with the some of the best animations and hitboxes in the industry. like, that werewolf dude and the treeface boss, holy poo poo does their movement look nuanced. I found the characters (assume NPCs) a bit wooden is all. The combat looks sick that's why I'm wondering about those big jumps! hatty posted:Maybe a hot take but I don't like how the Demon's Souls remake looks and I think this looks much better. Not a very fair comparison since DS is a PS3 game under the hood so a newer game can go all out on the cool stuff. Man it's so beautiful. When you reach the castle and those two guys are standing on the dead dragon just loving around it was a massive holy poo poo moment for me

Relin posted:as someone who enjoys difficult CAG i found sekiro to be incredibly hard (though i platinumed it) so hopefully elden ring takes a step (or several) back from that It's an rpg again so I'm sure you can simply grind a bit or optimise your build to make things a bit easier on yourself. I love Sekiro so much and it's my tied favourite From game with BB. I think on a particular level Sekiro is my favourite though because I like character action games and it's probably the best one ever made or at the very least stands alongside Ninja Gaiden Black, Vanquish and DMC4. I'd love to see From tackle a similar game after this.

bows1 posted:Maybe I used that term wrong; but is it a map that ONLY has 6 distinct areas so you are always in one of them, or is there an overworld map that you traverse to get to the 6 distinct areas, is kind of my question. Outside of the main "hub" of course which would probably not be part of any of the 6 areas. It all read like the map has six distinct regions to me.

I'm kind of hoping the central tree thing and the world itself is designed in such a way that you can navigate by landmarks without needing anything else. I'm not sure how, but Miyazaki said they're going to guide you along the mainline path. I'd like to see them do it in an unobtrusive and interesting way if possible. I really enjoyed playing tsushima with the map and stuff all switched off just using the wind to guide me for example.

I reckon I spent 2 hours over a couple of sessions trying to beat Genichiro and on my last try he went down in under a minute. From that point on I just crushed everything in the game because he taught me how to play. When I got to owl I just beat him into a corner, at which point he hesitated and I smashed him to bits. It was brutal. Probably my favourite action game ever. Give me more of that clashing steel!

UrbicaMortis posted:I think sometimes you can really fluke a boss on your first fight with them. I almost killed Ludwig first try and then didn't get him to his second phase the next fifteen tries. It's weird. Yeah I often get into the zone and take a boss to 10%hp first try. Then I think "wow I'm doing great" and proceed to get the poo poo kicked out me for an hour.

tote up a bags posted:What's the predictions on PS4 performance for this game? Based on Bloodborne I'm not super hopeful, although Sekiro ran pretty smooth. Bloodborne is just poorly put together. This game doesn't look any more demanding than previous From games, so without any real information I'll just say it will be fine.

Useless in tight spaces, useless against fast enemies, and even when you do find a time and place to use it, it still burns through bullets way too fast. Augur, blacksky eye, executioner’s gloves, tiny tonitrus, and accursed brew are the real good poo poo. I used almost nothing but augur and kirkhammer on my first run and it was the greatest gaming.

Brandfarlig posted:Sekiro seems fantastic but the combat never clicked for me and practicing it wasn't fun at all. If I wanted parryspam I'd play Metal Gear RR or something along those lines. Not a huge fan of how they give you a practice dummy but he's so basic you can't learn poo poo from him because every other thing in the game is more dangerous. Stealth is useful but also hinders learning since you can just stealth kill most enemies instead of fighting them if you find them annoying. The real training dummy is Genichiro and he lives at the top of the castle. After that you can just cruise to victory as a learned master of the blade.

Resident Evil 4 on my initial playthrough and subsequent replay was very good. Trying it again recently revealed a game that was quite engaging and graphically pretty great, but very tiresome to play at times even when your muscle memory kicks in around quick turns and etc.
