Preparing to die is something that you have to expect on this game. if it's anything like the first game you'll need losts of patience to get through it.

Jakallov33883d ago (Edited 3883d ago )

Combat feels slower than the first two games, but it also feels smoother, I felt as if my experience with the previous games helped me almost nothing and had to think twice before engaging an enemy, but yes, lots of patience is needed now, maybe even more than the previous titles... and is amazing!

Furesis3883d ago

i don't think that the combat is slower and i also don't think that it's smoother i think it's less smoother than the previous games but it's just like the guy said in the interview they changed some things so at first it feels different when you play it but i got used to it

i would really like to know how far people got in the beta so if anyone played it please comment

i got to the boss, beat the boss lit the bonfire and then the time was over

Thisisjuju3883d ago (Edited 3883d ago )

I agree the combat feels smoother.

Despite being very similar to Dark Souls it just feels different, I cant really describe it. I felt like I had to get used to the controls and play style all over again, despite the familiarity.

This however is a great precedent because it should mean Dark Souls 2 feels quite fresh, at least game play wise.

EDIT: @Furesis: I got to the boss and beat him too, however I was in a party totaling 3 people.

I have never been able to finish any of these games and it would be nice if they add Diablo style coop to help newbs like me.

DoctorJones3883d ago

Sorry dude, but I like the way Demons Souls/Dark Souls has co-op as it is. There is help there if you need it, you just need to summon someone.

BABY-JEDI3883d ago

This is looking great. The new mechanics look like they will ramp-up the death factor LoL, which is all good IMO.

Hidetaka Miyazaki Wants To Work On His Debut Franchise After Elden Ring DLC

Hidetaka Miyazaki appeared in an interview to discuss the future of the Elden Ring DLC and FromSoftware's future plans.

Cacabunga8d ago

I hope Bluepoint are working on BB remake..
Sony now seem to have lost it with all the gaas, i have no hope in seeing them approaching FS to make a sequel. I hope gamers will push Sony and show continuous disapproval to the gaas model

Cacabunga8d ago

U probably right about the remake it is maybe too early. A performance mode would be more welcome at this point

fsfsxii8d ago

can we get new ideas instead of remakes? gamers are the most nostalgia driven on this earth istg

Redgrave8d ago

The problem with new ideas is that they are often riddled with modern gaming problems like battle/season passes, MTX, DEI and/or agenda pushing narratives rather than making something fun.

We look to nostalgia because the magic was still alive and well, where as now it's often limited to indies.

Redgrave7d ago

Disagree-ers - care to elaborate?

Chard8d ago

Look at how Bluepoint changed the art for demons souls. I wouldn’t want them doing that for Bloodborne

anast8d ago

Compare their releases. How many are GaaS and how many are not. Put the number here for people to see.

gold_drake8d ago

I don’t know how to feel, Armored Core just isn’t as good as Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and the like.

I hope he does a new IP instead

FinalFantasyFanatic8d ago

I love the Armored Core series, I hope it becomes a regular thing again, like it was back in the PS2 days, we've been starved of AC games for a long time. Although I prefer the gameplay in the PS2 games personally. AC6 was really fun though.

Sonic18818d ago (Edited 8d ago )

The last game was a difficult challenge. I had trouble beating that last boss

shinoff21838d ago

I'm hoping for a Sci fi game. I guess armored core would be Sci fi but I'm not talking about that. I'd like a new Sci fi game

Nacho_Z8d ago

Fortunately, if you're not interested in the AC series, he doesn't say he plans to drop everything to work exclusively on the next one, as implied by the article header. Just general comments about it being an important series he wants to be involved with at some point.

gold_drake8d ago

oofff kings field. i played that not too long ago ha.

shinoff21838d ago

One ofbthe first ps games I beat back in the day. Was fun.

anast8d ago

Good news. I can't wait to see what he comes up with.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

H938d ago

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

VincentVanBro36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
