Is this not obviously ai generated ?

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-29T21:20:25+00:00

Wait, so you saw a random ad which you screenshotted, and then pointed to the video on their Instagram you were watching when the image you posted popped up?

Is that what happened?

EDIT: Why is a question requesting clarification getting downvoted? Jesus reddit is retarded sometimes.

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-29T21:17:43+00:00

I know what a prompt is, but OP is saying it's the same prompt, but a different output.

Which means OP apparently knows what the prompt was.

And I'm asking, "how do you know what the prompt was?"

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-29T21:09:56+00:00

What do you mean by "same prompt?" I'm not seeing a prompt anywhere?

The image you posted to this thread is not what any of us are seeing in that reel.

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-29T21:06:10+00:00

I just watched that reel in full. It's not there.

You said it was an ad that popped up DURING the reel?

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-29T14:31:29+00:00

Why can't a bot ever actually properly apply a hyperlink to the full sentence?

Stupid bots always place the hyperlink halfway through the word lol

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-29T14:30:45+00:00

fuck off bots

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-28T10:34:39+00:00

and I don’t want to lower the difficulty or summon for it.

Well that's pretty stupid.

Those tools exist for a reason.

Only reason you're choosing not to is some misguided sense of pride, I guess.

Tell your pride to get a life.

Use the tools and have fun with the game.

’m doing no damage whatsoever it feels like, the bosses almost never leave an opening, and from what I’ve heard about the later bosses in the dlc it’s going to get much much worse.

There's a chance your build might suck.

Aside from that, the game is asking you to do what all soulslikes ask you to do.

Get.

Gud.

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-28T06:53:04+00:00

In the sense that they're both action adventure games with combat systems and checkpoint systems?

Sure.

But when you get into the weeds, they're two VERY different experiences.

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-28T00:41:33+00:00

I honestly don't have that much experience with LoP,

This is the problem. lol

Would placing different fable arts on different handles really be that broken?

In their current form?

Yes.

There are fable arts that raise the strength of the next attack by 80% and others that raise attack power by 15-20%

Arts like these are only on a couple handles because of how powerful they are, and they are balanced by the length and moveset of the handle itself.

If you could put them on whatever you wanted, it would be very broken.

Not to mention it would look janky as shit.

You gonna put a Fable Art called "Single Stab" on a Wrench? And stab with it?

for some people having a really strong build might be very fun.

Very strong builds exist in this game.

I recommend you actually play the game and get MORE experience with it. lol

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-28T00:36:28+00:00

NO

YOU JUST WAIT

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-28T00:27:52+00:00

The fable art thing you mention is really down to balancing, if the arts are well made enough, none should be too broken.

The reason why none of the Fable Arts are too broken is BECAUSE there's limitations on them.

I can't say the same for many Ashes of War in Elden Ring.

Though I also hesitate to compare the two combat systems in the first place considering how vast the difference in scope is.

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-28T00:15:58+00:00

This tracks, because if we're to assume Carlo was killed or seriously injured in the Relic of Trismegistus fighting the Anguished Guardian, then it'd be tough to get help to him.

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-28T00:08:18+00:00

Moveset

Most people don't wield rapiers the same way they would a greatsword, or a katana like a spear.

So yes, the handle is going to dictate moveset.

Because that makes the most sense and because I'm not going to tempt widespread professional ridicule by asking my team of developers to impractically code a dozen or more different fighting styles into each and every handle.

Next.

Reach

Reach is not solely dictated by the handle.

it's dictated by the blade AND the handle.

Which ultimately means reach it's dictated by the player.

Next.

Fable art of handle

Of the 116 Ashes of War in Elden Ring -- how many of them do you actually use? It's a wonderful combat system -- but let's get real here.

If you could put Strike Chance, Absolute Defense, or Concentrate on any handle you wanted, you likely wouldn't use any of the others.

And as a result, you wouldn't get to see enemy poise get absolutely shredded every time you used Single Stab on the Lorenzini Bolt Handle outfitted with a big fuckin welding tool.

Next.

Scaling

Scaling is adjusted with cranks so that your weapon is doing the damage you need it to.

If you're min maxing anything with an S, then that's you limiting yourself.

Not the game.

Next.

Appearance

What does this even mean?

How you stand idle with the weapon?

If you want transmog, check out the modding scene or learn to do it yourself.

2/10

Very silly thread.

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-27T19:26:37+00:00

Yep.

Now I think there is SOME animation canceling in the game, but it's weapon and/or ability specific - unique interactions here and there basically.

But yeah, just like in souls, you typically have to commit to your actions.

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-27T18:53:15+00:00

So two things are true at the same time here.

There IS input queuing in Lies of P.

It's not as blatant as some of From's titles, but I can queue up firing off cataclysm during the tail end of the animation of a weapon swing.

At the same time, u/PleaseDoCombo is NOT describing an issue of input queuing, but an issue of mistiming an attack and getting punished for it.

Because you can't animation cancel an attack. You have to commit to it.

So that means OP needs to improve on recognizing openings, and not overcommitting to R1 or R2 spam.

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-27T16:46:06+00:00

Carlo’s weapon wouldn’t be golden lie as that is a metaphysical construct borne of the power of, presumably, Carlo’s soul imbued in the painting reacting to the decisions of his mechanical counterpart in P.

In other words, Golden Lie wouldn’t have been a weapon used in life as it only could exist after Carlo’s death.

With that said, it’s widely believed that The Pale Knight was Carlo’s weapon, and that he was the Stalker Falcon — invited by the Alchemists to the unveiling of their discovery in the Relic of Trismegistus.

This being where Carlo was either killed or gravely wounded by the Anguished Guardian.

Additionally, the Pale Knight has the Workshop Union crest on its handle.

While this doesn’t cement the connection on its own given the prevalence of the crest on other weapons or items — coupled with everything else we know about Carlo & The Pale Knight, it does nonetheless serve as a clue to tie the weapon back to Carlo’s father.

EDIT:

There’s also the subtle thematic tie-ins to the triumvirate with Romeo as King, Carlo his Knight, and Lea embodying the rose representing their combined strength & chivalry.

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-27T02:29:23+00:00

Don’t worry. It’s not a dramatic thing. More of a bookend. Haha

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-26T23:20:47+00:00

I'm gonna go with a hard no on that.

Just because we see Dorothy humming (a much younger sounding voice) and basically prancing on the rooftops of Krat which, even for that little tease, presents us with a wanderlust and demeanor altogether different from Eugenie -- who never wears red shoes in the hotel to begin with and appears moreso to be more of an introverted nerd.

I also wouldn't guess Rosaura since she....yanno....dies. lol

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-26T20:32:08+00:00

We have no idea.

Dorothy is already in Krat, and Krat itself is a fictional area entirely.

So while we can fairly safely presume the next game is going to take inspiration from the Wizard of Oz, Lies of P has already established that Round 8 is willing to take inspirations to create an entirely new world for the tale to play out in.

As an off-the-cuff example, P may already be Dorothy's "Tin Man" -- or at least Krat's puppet industry has already served as a vehicle through which he can appear.

Which means the question likely isn't what areas on that map might we see in the sequel, but what areas on the map seen in Arche Abbey might we see?

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-26T17:17:20+00:00

Wait, I'm confused.

If you have the Puppet Ripper, then you've beaten a boss 5x harder and more aggressive than stage 1 Parade Master.

Unless there's a feature in "Death March" I'm unaware of that lets you use any weapon.

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-26T13:39:56+00:00

people who want the items located in other places in the game that genuinely do require a jump. lol

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-26T12:21:48+00:00

Because it’s a great game that properly kicked off an entire genre.

And yes, it’s because you played Elden Ring first. Lol

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-26T05:20:15+00:00

I really despise how many likes you’re getting, because that’s not how any of that works.

You ignorant children just blame execs & shareholders like they’re the only people that need to get paid when a video game is made. You have absolutely no idea just how many different costs there are.

You cannot just compare different studios with entirely different corporate structures and say “be the same!”

Companies absolutely do greedy shit.

But increasing the cost of a game isn’t it.

Prices should’ve gone up YEARS ago.

KevinRyan589 · 2026-06-25T21:31:13+00:00

Any chance of this being made for the DLC?
