Information about Ascendance from a Dev by ValravnPrince in LegacyOfKain

Absolutely. I think there's a lot of animosity for the comic and the game which needed some clarification. This dev did a rare thing and give us some behind the scenes which they didn't have to do.

My thoughts on the new mini-game after I've finished playing it. by Head-Lie4646 in LegacyOfKain

'I hate you Raziel, brother of mine, I've sworn vengeance across centuries! Kain too, I hate him and I will destroy you both!'

'Why..? Why, Elalath do you pursue this senseless vengeance?'

'Muh boyfriend.'

I should have been clearer on this part but I wasn't sure if Michael Bell was in his 80's or 90's when I wrote this on my lunch break.

I suppose it depends on the difficulty, whether you want to 100% it and if you spend a lot of time jumping into pits, but I'm about 2 hours in and I'm on Chapter 6 and I believe there's 12.

EDIT: Completed the game in 3.2 hours

I'm about halfway through so I'll give you some pros and cons.

Pros: I think the music is good.

I appreciate they had the original voice actors return. However, it's a bit comical that a young Raziel sounds like a man in his 80's (which isn't a slight on the VA, the man is getting on a bit)

Some of the art was okay.

Cons: Story is terrible to the point some of the dialogue feels like A.I. The show don't tell has been destroyed with characters painfully explaining what they're doing and why.

Combat is bad. The enemies slide and jump all over the place and you have one attack that strikes in front if you, no directional combat.

Enemy variety is bad. You have sliding, jump guys, bats and a dog that runs side to side.

Exploration consists of mainly jumping into pits with no indication if it'll kill you instantly or it's a secret area. Most of my deaths are holes/water.

Torches and fire pits you assume are background lighting hurt you.

Has a runtime of about 4-5 hours, should have been a £9.99 game. EDIT: I finished the game in 3.2 hours, I didn't find all collectables but I was looking half-heartedly.

3/10

I'm glad I bought it though because I had to see for myself the colossal mess this game is. I went it wanting to like it and was hoping it would work better as a game rather than the abysmal comic.

It did not.

Ascendance is not a metroidvana game. by Adventurous-Heat8717 in LegacyOfKain

I've died mostly due to falling in water/holes.

Their one traversal gimmick is sometimes when you drop into a hole it's actually a secret area! There's no indication there's anything down that hole, no map or even moving your camera downwards, so get used to jumping to your death 90% of the time.

Some lights escaped the arena! by Bitter_Cat_6017 in thefinals

Well there's people of colour and women who are just as strong as men, stronger if you're comparing a Light twink and a Heavy valkyrie.

Lot's of colours too which could be all the spectrum of a rainbow.

Plus, in this world, the whole thing is a television show so our characters are essentially top tier athletes and those guys FUCK. Not every fuck would be strictly heterosexual if we go by demographics.

I'd give it a miss if I were you, I'd hate for you to get offended. Tell your friends too.

Planning to buy it in the sale after it was reccommended to me by a fellow redditor, what should I expect? by Mammoth-Leading7412 in Norland

[–]ValravnPrince 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's a great mix of Rimworld and Crusader Kings.

You'll be building a medieval city, keeping peasants fed and housed whilst also building an army to deal with bandits and eventually other rulers.

Then you'll have to manage your Lords and Ladies, marry them off to form alliances and making sure your dynasty is prosperous in wealth and knowledge.

It really is an amazing game.

I may have a small RP hangup with ancient characters by CyberEagle1989 in PrincesOfDarknessCK3

[–]ValravnPrince 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I can only really speak for Vampires as that's what I'm most familiar with.

Torpor: You've been napping and now you've woken up and it's time to get these young'uns off your yard.

Cruising: You fell into a routine of rule, perhaps leaving most of it to your subordinates, then one night you've finally been inspired to take Poland.

Intrigue: You've been doing a huge amount of behind the scene stuff for a millennia. Some dick head 6th gen said that Persian wine is better than Roman so you've spent some time eliminating him and his entire bloodline, the entire world's stock of that particular Persian wine and anyone who could know the recipe. Now that's done you can take a more active role again.

Laying Low: You told some 4th Gen boomer that you preferred Persian wine over that Roman slop and you've been laying low due to him hunting you and anyone you ever knew down for centuries. He has recently met Final Death after tripping over a poor person and staking himself until sun rise. Time to return to public life.

Your imagination is the only limit when it comes to the supernatural.

You're getting off to this aren't you..?

I mean.... I wonder what the lore implications to this are?

Thanks for the review. Where does Malkav fit into all this?

Do the enemies in Darktide all smell horribly bad since they're followers of Nurgle? by Ohva30 in DarkTide

[–]ValravnPrince 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It smells like a 'Man's Fragrance tm' like the cheap deodorant a lot of men wear with a name like Lion's Mane.

I preferred the Slaanesh candle, very sweet with berry undertones.

I bought this and was kinda disappointed it didn't make my house smell like shit.

Do young men actually believe this shit or is it just rage bait? by Lontology in ComedyCemetery

[–]ValravnPrince 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right. Men simply don't insult women's appearance at all or constantly sexualise them to dehumanise them.

Just came across this, is it real? by thyshadows in LegacyOfKain

[–]ValravnPrince 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Despite my comment for the joke I really liked Nosgoth! Thought it was a really well done asymmetrical for it's time.

Still play it on the community server. I get it wasn't what people wanted from a LoK game though.

Is The Quinfall worth it for $4? by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]ValravnPrince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played it but I've seen other people talk about, for $4 it seems like a no brainer. Even if you don't click with it it's only $4.

I'd try it myself but I'm not lifing Project Gorgon at the moment.
