skillzdadirecta Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 One impression I saw said that one of the classes borrows a lot from Sekiro gameplay wise which is awesome to me as I much preferred The Wolf's movement in Sekiro to traditional Souls gameplay. There's JUST enough time for me to finish my Dark Souls 2 run before this comes out, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that is all that they were when they were shown in that 15 minute preview. My brother called that evening and we got to talking about the game and despite him playing like maybe 1 open world game ever, one of the first things he became worried about was all the underground dungeons being the same. That's when I was all like, "Well, they will be. Some might be unique but they are clearly just chalice dungeons. I'm just excited they aren't hidden behind a loading screen like in Skyrim." Now, I liked the Chalice Dungeons. But I only ever played the "story" mode ones where you can the queen at the end. I never actually did any of the randomly generated ones.

While I'm generally not terribly excited about this game, that's actually one thing that'd get me more psyched. I have issues with Sekiro as a game overall but the movement and actual core combat was really, really good. I'd be really into playing that transplanted into Souls.

Mercury33 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Played for about an hour this morning and really enjoyed it. It’s def a Souls game and plays like a souls game with jumping. But I choose a magic knight character so the other might play different. The world def gives off a Breath of the Wild feel in that there’s tons of “ohh that looks like something/cool” and you go check it out and there’s pretty much always something to find. I both wanted to just wander around and felt rewarded for doing so. There’s a great new mechanic where you get 1 estus restored after defeating a group of enemies(groups can be as small as 2). Which is great because it’s not like you’re tripping over rest points and it’s nice to no have to be forced to reset all the enemies in the world after stumbling onto one boss. Still haven’t figured out how to get the mount, although I suspect it might have to do with killing a mounted mini boss near the beginning. But I’m suuuuper rusty at these games so I haven’t been able to kill him yet. Overall I’m really loving it so far and can’t wait for the next window to open.

No my dream game consists of forming a harem and founding an everlasting kingdom where the MC is reincarnated to rule over his kingdom. But you are right, I ain't watching those videos. Now my dream FROM game would be one that is more like Dark Souls 1 but they didn't fuck up the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Played another couple hours. This game is stupid fun. Figured out how to get my mount which was pretty rewarding. Riding around stabbing fools is soooo fun lol. Also once you get it you can kinda just explore the open world and feel pretty safe as you can out run almost everything(not everything 👀) on it. Ive found two mini dungeons. One was super straightforward with just a couple hallways and a boss. The other had some cool fire traps and looped around. In a DS1 sorta way. Both fun, both had really useful rewards. I like the spirit summoning. It’s a blast to summon a bunch of wolves to keep a boss busy while you launch magic missles or run around back stabbing it. It hasn’t even occurred to me to actually follow the main path yet lol. Gonna try and play for the full 3 hours tonight and do more of the main “quest”. Can’t wait for the full game to come out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a few months to improve the framerate. I know I'll love the game though. Open world and can go anywhere you want and discover shit. The combat may be tough but I'll be up for the challenge. Visually it looks fine to me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
