That’s because it is, ha. That’s full-bore open-world and/or RPG, strat territory. I hope the skill tree featured in the demo was a sampling then because there’s nowhere near enough combat depth to radicalise different playstyles and keep things fresh.
If you liked the demo and want more of the same it seems like a generally safe rule that you’ll enjoy it. I’d just wait for reviews if you’re on the fence. Like I said that’s all rumors. People aren’t suppose to give their opinions until Monday so we don’t know everything there is to offer yet. I still think the game is 30 hours based on the trophies. It might be like Nioh where there will be bonus missions that involve replaying the maps with different enemies or boss rushes. Sucks that people seem negative on the game now. I still going to keep my preorder. Very excited for it and I think I’ll complete it before expedition 33 which is a month away from this release
I think those numbers are BS and it will be like Nioh where you repeat missions that add different enemies or replace enemies with bosses you fought previously. Theres even a mission select screen. Anyway it has me very curious. Reviews will be out early next week since the game comes out on 24th. Sounds like you and method are in the wait for review camp. Personally I don’t mind taking the risk because review these days spoil top much.
Yea to be clear though I still want to get the game. It's just a matter of not having the time to fit it in. I think you're right though and I have a hard time seeing this as an 80 hour game. Most likely just a rumor\completionist type run.
I think ‘risk’ is the wrong word however the game pans out. Polished AF, dude. You’re in good hands.
Instead of watching videos just download the demo. It’s either going to save you money or convince you to buy it. Most who have played it are very positive about it. One of the better Soulslike games imo. Only other ones I enjoyed this much were Nioh and Lies of P although maybe it won’t reach those heights. I’m expecting a low 80s metacritic which is perfectly fine with me.
Ahh I should have read the thread more closely, I was under the impression there was only a closed beta some time ago and that was it until release. Thank you! Gonna give this a try this weekend
Is this open world?
I didn't know about this game, or I forgot, looks awesome. Is it a JRPG? I wish square would bring back turn based in their mainline FF games.
It’s like Nioh with mission(s) per map, except smaller and blander maps.
Just watched Cowboy's. He loves his ungabunga lol. He's my go to in Souls games when if I get stuck.
BP was easy for me but not Yetuga. Took far longer than an hour on him for me. BP was visually fantastic, though.
Yetuga took me a handful of tries. He's got some very large punish windows. Fun fight but definitely frustrating at first.
I won’t spoil anything but the boss of stage 3 is fucking insane. In any other game it would have been a mid to end game boss. I wasn’t expecting that level of challenge so early on. 2 hours so far and no victory yet. Getting close though. I’m not using the summon things in this playthrough. Going for that trophy that requires you to beat the game without them
I'm getting salty in the shit area with the lizards where you have to traverse stairs and deal with the dumb archers.
Try to beat up some melee enemies before fighting them to build up energy and used the ranged attacks on the archers
