Nearly 5 hours of Lords of the Fallen footage via Lobos (Dark Souls Streamer)

I am pleasantly surprised with how this looks.. It was kinda sorta on my radar, but after watching the bulk of the playthrough, I'm pretty excited for it. Seems to combine lots of different styles of games.
 
Trying to think up some titles as I begin working on the OT, I kind of like this one;

Thoughts? Others you can think of?

Lords of the Fallen |OT| These Lords Probably Won't Drop Lord Souls
 
I am glad i am not the only one on gaf who likes lobos. he is one of my favorite streamers. the dark souls runs he does are nuts
 
Everything about this game appeals to me except for the main character's design, which just strikes me as uninspired and pretty forgettable. Overall though, I'm impressed with this game so far.
 
I wanted to punch someone in the face when, apparently, one of the stream viewers said that "every game should have multiplayer."

Thank god this one doesn't.

Sums up my feelings. But an easier Souls game just doesn't sound appealing.

Lords of the Fallen IOTI Dark Souls

Lords of the Fallen IOTI They even copied the shitty method of jumping.
 
Did he make any assessments about how much easier it is than Dark Souls?

I enjoy the gameplay structure of souls games, and while I don't seek to be PUNISHED, some sense of danger and accomplishment are central to the experience. If this game is casual it'd be a pretty big knock against it.

He said it's an easier Souls game. It depends on what kind of heavy armor you're wearing. But man, he screwed up a few times and took extremely little damage.

Lords of the Fallen |OT| I swear it's not Dark Souls 3
Lords of the Fallen |OT| So what if I ain't got no Soul
Lords of the Fallen |OT| What is this clone you speak of
Lords of the Fallen |OT| Welcome to the next level
 
By the nipples of my ancestors, this looks incredibly good! Of course it is impossible to judge the feel of this by looks alone, but it looks RIGHT.
 
I've always been skeptical about this game, and its story-driven nature doesn't help...but those sparks when you block changed my mind.
 
Even if it's not as challenging as Souls it still looks good. Gameplay seems very solid and I really dig the art direction. Like Darksiders only a bit more restrained.

EDIT:
Ok after watching some more and skipping around a bit I'm sold. I'm a huge Souls fan and while it may not be on the same level it still looks really fucking good. I'm still not getting a PS4 until Bloodborne (unless Taco Bell gives me one) so this will have to wait, but I think I'm definitely going to play it.
 
Lords of the Fallen |OT| A Little Demon, A Little Dark, A lot of Soul

/terrible suggestions

I vote for These Souls Ain't Loyal lol
 
I didn't say its manufactured hype. Fan-base created hype is still hype!
So...you meant to say "doesn't buy into the positive Shadow of Mordor reception" then?

On topic: Still can't get interested in this. Its the kind of game that I probably won't buy even if it turns out good. Just too much of a "we played dark souls then made this game" vibe. Dark Siders had its unique world and aesthetic going for it, at least.
 
I wanted to punch someone in the face when, apparently, one of the stream viewers said that "every game should have multiplayer."

Thank god this one doesn't.

Why are you so against multiplayer in a game like this? A nice duel mode or PVP arena would be awesome with this game. I'm not saying it has to have invasions and whatnot but organized PVP? Would be perfect.
 
I was gonna wait for your impressions before biting but man ....
I will do it anyways
:) look forward to it.
If this game has the Yoshichan seal of approval, it will be on my watch-list.

As a big Souls fan, this seems like a nice way to ease the pain of waiting for Bloodborne.
Hell yes, this is on my hype seal of approval. I'm going into this with just as much combined optimism and skepticism as when I play a Souls for the first time.

This is exponentially more offensive than the recently revealed Hatred.
Offense, huh? :3
 
This game looks really promising in all respects EXCEPT the amount of damage enemies seem to do to you. I don't really see how you're ever in much danger from the regular mobs given that they hit like a wet noodle.

Well, this is like the very start of the game. Those are supossed to be the easiest enemies. In the last third of the five hours he starts to fight harder enemies and dying in a couple of hits by some of them.
 
Game looks good. I actually happen to like the artstyle too so, yay! Gonna roll with a heavy hammer or something. The weightiness of it looks great.
 
I just can't get over how terrible the character design is.
Is it that integral to the story that they couldn't let us create our own?
Looks like all you wear is just bulky armor with no real variety.
 
Wow, they really seem to have pushed back Lords of the Fallen release date (EU) to 28th from 31th.
 
So four pages of discussion and it's pretty much all about how difficult the game is?

Because what sums up the Souls games is the difficulty?

Because what sums up this game is how it's difficulty will compare with the Souls series?

:-\

Also, from what I understand from the Polygon article, that there is indeed a difficulty spike but it's optional, so the more 'casual' player can finish the game without throwing away the controller in frustration. The player looking for a challenge can do optional bosses and try to beat bosses in an optional and harder way to get better items.

We'll they're obviously taking inspiration from the souls games in terms of gameplay but it doesn't try to be exactly like a souls game. I don't think that it's a norm for videogames to allow player to create their character. The game just wasn't made with that in mind design-wise. I'm pretty neutral towards the main character. I don't hate him nor particularly like him, yet.
 
It looks like a more streamlined Dark Souls with more corridors but prettier visuals :p

This doesn't have to be a bad things, it's good that the genre Souls' games created is getting popular, i'd take this over all the warfare FPS any time
