Jordan writes, "There must come a point when making a Soulsborne that a development team has to look at each other and say “I think we’ve referenced one specific game a little bit too much.” In the case of Lies of P, this conversation perhaps happened too late into development."
According to Neowiz, the Lies of P DLC is scheduled to be released in the second half of 2024, and is being developed in-house.
Great news.
If anyone is still deliberating picking this game up, I highly recommend it.
The predictions are that the sequel will be Wizard of Oz. I read theories that the DLC would be Peter Pan.
I’ve enjoyed the game game and I think I’m just about to fight the end boss. The Pinocchio / puppet angle is the weakest part of the whole package imo. They should have just made their own world.
Stellar Blade might be the hot game right now, but we already got a better version of it more than half a year ago.
Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews. No shade on Lies of P but just pointing that out.
But i don't even know why compare them? Because both are souls type games?
Then you can just reuse this article all the time and say Elden Ring is "whatever new souls game" but good for every new souls game.
Stellar blade hate articles must be rolling with clicks...
Everyone in here now is clicking and commenting on this post.
Whoever the "community" is that approved it (Doubt it), contributors should report this article and any other from this low-quality click-bait website for being exactly what it is.
Remember that the reviewer loved the combat too. But because of the character and physics he wrote it off immediately.
Not that it even matters but both of those games are way better than their metacritic scores.
@VersusDMC “Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews“
This is actually misleading as Stellar Blade has only been reviewed on one platform. Both technically sit at 82… and Lies of P has about 30 more reviews right now.
You are correct. Especially if you look at open critic. Just wanted to point out that Lies of P is not higher rated critically overall for the first paragraph and did some slight exaggeration not accounting for PC and Xbox reviews.
To be fair, Stellar Blade had a lot of hype and isn’t an indie game like Lies of P. So Lies 80% vs Stellars 82% only proves good good Lies was. That said, you all need to stop getting so upset over review scores. If you want the hame you’re going to get it, if you don’t you won’t and those supposedly claiming they are “on the fence” will wait for a sale regardless.
Not really. I view all games with the same eyes. Don't care if indie or not...a game is a game.
the only things that are pointing out are the nipples in stellar blade.
I mean… it’s like saying we have a better NieR with Devil May Cry. Yea, there’s some similarities, but Lies is really hardcore in the sense of emulating a FromSoft game almost perfectly, where Stellar has some Souls-like elements, but I’d say it’s closer to Sekiro than say a Dark Souls game. This almost feels click-baitey
Listen here you, that's not how this is supposed to work. You choose a side and you defend it. None of this little "what if there's more than one good game out there" nonsense.
It helps. But, as an individual, I still have my own opinion. I do wish conflict didn't sell as well as it does.
No wonder n4g is the cesspool that it is
Uses to be good but you'd rather clickbait low quality crap
Straight from the horses mouth, you really don't give a shit
I said the opposite, jambola. But I don't think you're really reading what I say, only what you want me to say.
Stop it. There's only room for one good game at a time and you know it. Any more than that will literally melt people's minds.
Oh geez...this is why journos suck...they can't even see differences between games.
Stellar blade is nothing like lies of P. Didn't these guys give stellar a bad score? Geez they really hate it. Stop the hate! Lol
7 MILLION reasons to celebrate.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
this reminds me... I have to get back into this one. Really well made and I like the story.
Well deserved! I honestly feel this is the closest a Souls-like has gotten to emulating a FromSoft game to the point where I feel it was a FromSoft developed game.
It really has that classic Souls-like feel of the Bloodborne and earlier From Software titles. There's so much to love about the game, and easily one of the strongest first entries in a new franchise I've seen in a long time.
Some have criticised it for taking too much from the Soulsbourne games, but the additions and changes it makes are brilliant. It probably has the best health system of any game I've played in the genre.
I played it and it's awesome, but what does this mean. Do they count the players that started it on GP and played 5 mins in these numbers? Last I checked this game sold 1 mill (October).
It would be nice to have an actual established norm for "players count" as it can be anything.
A player could be someone who cumulates at least 30 min of playtime in the game.
Also, it would be nice to understand why a single-player-only game would need a player count to measure the success of a game.
For example, it would be understandable if each player counts for some monetization like Youtube that MS has to pay the studio.
Anyone who has booted up a game on Game Pass counts as a "player", which is why Microsoft and others have been using those kinds of buzzwords because they sound better than the lower "copies sold" number would be
I played this on GamePass, 1000G'd it, then bought it on the PS5 and Platinum'd it, all in the space of about a month or so. Was absolutely addicted to it and highly recommened it for any on the fence. Can't wait for either some DLC.
I will summarize my impressions of the demo: (played every Fromsotware souls since ps3 Demon´s Souls)
Presentation: Slick
Stage design: Mediocre
Voices: Slick
Menus: good
Controls: great
Combat: poor
Conclussion: hey Sony where is Bloodborne 2!??
The writer of the article probably doesn't realize that maybe it's what the dev team wanted. Maybe they wanted a Bloodborne type game and decided to make one. Nothing wrong with that. While I'd love Sony and FromSoftware to develop Bloodborne 2 or even port it over to current gen/PC, it ain't gonna happen cuz for some reason, as the IP holders of Bloodborne, Sony's being stubborn about it. I'm glad other devs are doing what Sony refuses to do.
I don't think they're trying to deny it. It's clearly inspired by Bloodborne and Souls games in general. Defensive options are way too strong in the demo for it to truly feel Bloodborne-esque though. From Software deliberately took away block options in Bloodborne to make the combat have higher stakes and encourage an active playstyle.
Obviously this is a new IP and an entirely different development team, so I don't want to go into it with too many preconceived notions, but they kinda invited the comparisons by wearing their inspiration on their sleeves.
It plays NOTHING like Bloodborne. It’s far more inline with a Souls game. It may look similar to BB but that’s really about it.
