My first soulsborne game was Bloodborne and is still my favorite of the FromSoft series with Elden Ring just behind it. Playing Lies of P has seriously reminded me of when I first played Bloodborne and so it probably gets special bonus points just for that. Now I just have to wait until Friday for Lords of the Fallen!
I’m currently on my 2nd playthrough looking for all the records. Lies of P is pretty darn good and it’s the only non-fromsoftware souls like I enjoyed, and I’ve played a lot. The bosses in particular are really great and most of them are memorable.
I’m a bit bummed at what you have to do to get the real ending, I feel like it’s kind of a betrayal of Pinocchio’s main theme, but I understand what they were going for.
I’m pretty hopeful for Lords of the Fallen but from the previews I’ve seen it’s a little… Clunky. I hope it plays better than it looks.
Watched FightinCowboy play the initial intro chapter and it looks pretty standard.
I don’t understand the obsession with super difficult games. I can get plenty good at them. But I don’t enjoy getting angry at videogames when I die 14 times fighting a boss.
I’d love to play Lies of P, but no difficulty level means I’m not playing it. I tried Elden Ring as well, and Bloodborne. These kind of games just aren’t for me.
The trick is learning not to be angry. It usually takes a while to beat a boss, but from then on it’s suddenly easy (especially on replays), and that feels really, really good.
I wish I was like that. It might be an adhd thing. I’d love to play some of these games. It’s just not worth my sanity.
Definitely not! I used to get pretty angry too, though weirdly Rocket League fixed that for me. It turned my anger at the loss into anger at the pressure of performing in a multiplayer game, which isn’t a factor in Elden Ring.
I felt the same way when Dark Souls (and subsequent sequels) came out. Sekiro was the first game I had ever refunded on Steam when I rage quit it after couldn’t get through the tutorial level. I’ve since tried it again and made it to Genichiro but couldn’t beat him as it doesn’t let you grind to level up. It’s truly a game where you have to “git gud” and I’m simply not that good at parrying.
Honestly the only reason I gave Bloodborne a try was because I saw someone else play who was a much worse gamer than I was, it was included on PS+, and I thought the world seemed really interesting. I absolutely do not think this genre is for everyone but when you can beat a boss, the rush is intense and addictive.
I really wanna try lies of p I just can’t afford it I’ll probably wait till Christmas sale although I did mange to buy mafia 2 definitive edition on gog sale so I’m not missing out when it comes to games
It’s on Gamepass. Just get that for $10 and beat it. Might be able to find a free trial somewhere too.
Ah ill like to avoid paying for gamepass if possible thanks for the tip tho I’ll have a look around for a trial
