I don't think he's used it more than 2 or 3 times while playing, at least when I was watching last night. That's what's so frustrating about his style of playing. It's almost as if he's treating it like a run of the mill hack and slash.

That's the vibe I get when I watch him play. Though he's gotten better at it he's not taking advantage of some of the skills available. Perhaps he's just too powerful? I don't know, but I'd like to see some magic use tbh.

The level design seems to be all about exploration and just trying every route, perhaps this is why no mini-map.

This is the new King's Field :p No really, I'd love to see what they would do as well.

He wasn't that powerful last night and he used the same tactic. At that time, he had this poking sort of weapon that he used incessantly. It took so many hits to kill anything with it and the sound it made while hitting enemies got annoying after awhile :lol Now he's got this powerful, but slow sword and is still using the same tactic. I agree, I've been waiting for him to use more skills, but he hasn't built his character that way =/

LOL, you will be glad you did. I'm actually quite intrigued by what I know of the story. I really hope there is a good amount of plot. I don't care how it's revealed I just want to know moaR! I mean maiden in Black? She is a cryptic being but who the hell is she?!

I'm interested in knowing exactly what is going on as well. The hub stage appears to be a tower that you climb, and then go into worlds from there. I like the cryptic words the chick says to him, reminds me of the "Hail to you, champion." type stuff from Diablo.

RamzaIsCool, good call on the Ico vibe, getting that as well. The game just oozes atmosphere.

You should have seen him play White Knight Chronicles... he didn't use the combos much D:

Hahaha, how'd he manage by doing that? Seems like this guy wants every game to be a hack-n-slash!

Haha reminds of that stuff too. I also like all the loading screen renders of the characters...There's gotta be a lot to look forward to in terms of story.

Yea I keep seeing the same damn move. And I know for a fact there's other ways to defeat enemies! I guess it is just the way he built his character.

I think he just likes to grind in place of actually using skills :x

He could not make the game look more boring. What exactly is the objective in this game anyway?
Click to expand...

In King's Field games, your sort of set off on your own with some ultimate objective being found down the line. NPCs would be placed here and there to push you forward but it would be up to the player to find his way.
 
Is it me or did I see a huge ass creature in the upper left of the screen, at the part where he unleased all those stone baulders.
 
Yeah, he just walked out to where you could see the dragons up close, then ran like a bitch back inside :lol . Go fight them, man!
 
Game looks good graphically, and I like the look of the gameplay, but I would like to see a little bit more locales. If the game consists of only dungeons, castle tops and bridges, I might not bite. But if it has a healthy amount of locales, I might really consider importing.

There's a swamp-type area I believe... He's only been playing those two levels but I'm sure there's more.

Maybe it was another player who died and had this special item?
Click to expand...

Hmm could be, I thought co-op consists of you helping the other player? Maybe there's other possibilities with it as well. Either way, 2 hits and he was done.

Network Invasion - PVP!
To start, no there is no info as to whether this can be 'switched off' if you login. Also no info how another player is selected, etc.... All it says is that if a player has a specific "black stone" special item and perishes, he can invade the gameworld of another player as a "black phantom". Win and he gets resurrected. Lose and he loses "soul level". The "black phantom" form will be of a higher level than the deceased player is currently at.

That's what I read in this thread.

AWESOME. Seriously. I didn't catch that. That's a very cool concept, I look forward to this, if servers aren't locked that is. Red enemy makes sense now...

Did he stop broadcasting?

Probably taking a pause after the crushing defeat and constant cowardice.

EDIT: You serious? I thought you are the one who's updating the OP :lol

I am, but I didn't catch this bit of info not much has been going on since the announcement of the delay.

...a good survival skill in king's field. too many games protect you from getting in over your head. there's something rather fine about that: "i *really* shouldn't be here right now" feeling (but perhaps i can just get to that chest...).

King's Field on the PS1 had this in spades :lol

I remember going all the way to that castle area that was surrounded by chasms filled with lava. The moment I had seen one of those reaper type ghosts with the scythes, I fucking ran out of there.
 
I still can't get the "live" feed in either IE or Firefox but thankfully the Archived stuff works. Hopefully the game gets released in the States (so I can support it being brought over) otherwise I will definetely import.
 
INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:
:lol duh I'm such a bonehead. It's been a bit since I went through the information. Trying to keep on top of things and some of it fades!
Click to expand...

Don't worry that's why we're here too keep it going :P
Can't push everything onto you.

I hope he'll continue the feed though. The game looks very interesting even if he's not that good at it.

I was watching a recent playthrough of KF 1 on Google Video or something and when the guy reached that same spot he did the EXACT same thing. Hilarious, but surprising even considering how outdated the game is. I think this is one of the big things about the difficulty in this game. I bet we haven't seen the half of it in terms of enemies and environment. Just watching that guy get destroyed by the "Black Phantom" is indication of a proper challenge. Granted it was another player, but he was doing backflips and shit...
 
Just watched the youtube videos in the OP. Hopefully I'm not ejaculating prematurely when I say it looks pretty good.

You just missed the live stream. He probably also got himself beaten up badly by someone who invaded his game(A knight or something in red/dark). But yes it looks good at what it does.

Aw, I missed that.
 
I wish FS would make a new King's Field. I beat the 1st one that wasnt released in the US with Eng patch and it was so cool. The music is just wow!! I hope they atleast release the PS1 games on the US PSN store.(dont care about JPN versions) I would definitely buy them.
 
Intriguing... I want this game (And about one thousand times more than KZ2). I loved the King's Field games on the ps. Best worst games I've ever played. So awful yet so awesome...
 
Kagari said:

You barely missed it. That's when he stopped playing :lol
The red one was pretty active, rolling around and moving a lot, but was also fast and furious with it's attacks. I think one hit took half of his HP away.

It was incredible. Backflips, rolls...this dude doesn't even parry. It was bound to happen :lol

I too want them to release all the KF games on PSN with some form of localization. I've only played the first with the patch and my favorite game from PS1 days. I was so scared playing it being like 12 years old and all...

Perhaps if this is somewhat successful FROM will decide to develop a new KF with some improvements? The history behind KF is very very cool.

Finally, someone got the game and is posting a playthrough on NicoNico Douga. Hopefully he's more interesting to watch than this streaming guy. On with Part 1!

Just put in my pre-order for the Asian version, via play-asia. And now we play the waiting game...

Where you located? If you're in the states perhaps order from NCSx? They have much faster shipping from what I hear...
