2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

Looks like the original Lords of the Fallen but not ass.

[–] JackDark@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I'll take the original Lords of the Fallen over the new one or any of the Dark Souls games any day. People have different tastes.

lmao hell fucking no, trash take of the day for sure

The aesthetic was great but everything else was certified ass. The combat was sluggish, clunky, and unresponsive. Hit and hurt boxes were atrocious on most enemies.

And this isn't even getting into the performance issue and the forced Denuvo bullshit.

The new one is an improvement all around and it doesn't even touch things like Elden Ring.

The game would have serviced a lot better if they tried making it as more of a typical action RPG, a la God of War, instead of trying to make it a knock off Souls-like and floundering at it.

I disagree. I played it all the way through, yet I never managed to play any of the Fromsoft games more than maybe 10 minutes because I feel that they are too clunky.

Disagree with facts all ya want then. Won't change em. Saying they FromSoft titles, especially the new ones, are clunky is insane.

Skill issue.

[–] JackDark@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Saying opinions are facts doesn't make them so, just because they're your opinions. I guess you had a skill issue with the original Lords of the Fallen, huh?

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The game being clunky and sluggish as opposed to fluid and responsive is not an opinion. It is a fact of the game's coding and animations. You just don't understand what terms mean.

And calling FromSoft games clunky just exposes that you have no clue what terms mean and are just being contrarian because I called LoF clunky.

Cool, you enjoy a trash game, that's an opinion but doesn't change the game from being what it is.

[–] JackDark@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

LOL, yeah person that got a college degree in making video games doesn't understand basic terms used to describe how gameplay feels. Sure, bud.

I'm not invalidating how you feel about Lords of the Fallen or FromSoft games. I'm literally just stating (for some reason, repeatedly) that people feel differently about different things. I couldn't give a flying fuck what games you enjoy, nor should you give a flying fuck about what games I enjoy. Just because we enjoy games at the other person does not doesn't mean that the other person enjoys shit games.

Lol, sure ya do bucko.

Major "I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals" energy.

Yes, I get it, you like games that are clunky and sluggish in design. Doesn't change that those games are clunky and sluggish. You can watch the two games side by side and immediately tell the difference like night and day.

God, I love being able to block people on Lemmy. Please block me too. Let's never see each other again.
