It's . . . nothing like the experience I had with Dark Souls, which I played way after it came out. The level design simply doesn't compare, especially the questlines. I'm not talking about level design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS3 is more like a reunion gig. Superficially the same but lacking any of the original drive and spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Looks pretty meh. Kinda reminds me of Lords of the Fallen which also look very meh which is why I never picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The Souls-ing is getting so out of control that this now looks like a 3D version of Blasphemous which was a 2D version of 3D Souls. The bigger concern to me is that this entire thing looks like some sort of vertical slice or tech demo or whatever the term would be, I'm not sure. None of this looks like someone actually playing the game with a controller in hand. I don't get what the level design etc. is supposed to be at all from this either, it just seems like these random disjointed 'arenas'? That's part of what made this look like just some sort of concept thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'm thoroughly surprised at how bad this look in game. Like, I almost think a 30fps trailer could do it better, because it might cover a bit for the animations. Hits just don't seem to have weight and heft, think it might be in the reactions perhaps. Plus, whose idea was to show it in that water environment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 New video looks a bit better, but there is too much weight given to the attacks for how little the enemies respond. The combat reminds me of this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Every animation is exaggeratedly long in a way people used to pretend Dark Souls was. There's soooo much windup and so little result, although the player character seems to get knocked on his ass pretty easy so it comes off as doubly bizarre. The presentation is very nice, which I imagine is what a lot of people will pay attention to, but the combat in that video had me annoyed just looking at it. It's like you're playing in slow motion or something. I hope it's great because combat aside it really looks neat, but every time I see more of the combat I have less faith in it being a good game.

Bloodporne Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Combat looks like what the change from DS1 to DS2 was only this time it's DS2 to Mortal Shell. No bueno hermano. It's like they made your character a slow, encumbered, Zweihander-wielding sloth as default and none of the enemies actually react to a 200 lbs piece of steel smashing them.

Xbob42 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 By the way, enemies not responding to your ridiculously huge weapon with clearly powerful swings was something I absolutely loathed about Final Fantasy 7 Remake's combat, but at least that was generally fast as those characters are basically superhuman. This is like that but way slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the gameplay video again and it feels like the audio is delayed ever so slightly, or something similar, to where the combat audio feels disconnected from the actual action on screen. That's on top of the dog shit hit reactions and lame combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 IGN Preview details a lot of the games unique mechanics. Beta drops on the 3rd (tomorrow ) I'm really looking forward to this game. Highlights: No block button, you defend by "hardening" yourself, dodging or parrying Very limited Health items You have to try items first in order to discover their effects Combat felt smooth, and weighty.
