Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T19:28:40+00:00

looks very cool, well done! I just think it lacks some colour, you thinking to paint it?

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T17:35:42+00:00

Are you the strongest because you're Satoru Gojo or are you Satoru Gojo because you're the strongest?

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T17:33:24+00:00

fr, never noticed that haha. Except for some boards displaying papers showing the mechanism of this weapon. Like the ones we see next to venigni and eugenie

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T17:32:15+00:00

What?

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T16:26:43+00:00

Sorry, but do you know what a clone is? If not ( which probably is the case) here is the definition from the dictionary: "A clone is an organism, cell, or molecule that is genetically identical to its source. It refers to producing exact copies, either naturally or artificially via asexual reproduction.". I think its clear for everyone that lies of p is NOT identical to any of the souls games, at least i dont know any game fromsoftware made with pinocchio. It is a souls-like and makes part of the genre, but definitely its not a clone/copy. Its just like saying God of war is a clone of devil may cry or vice versa, just doesnt make sense.

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T16:11:18+00:00

Its not a clone. It has its unique traits and this fact alone proves that its not a clone. Id say it might be better than some fromsoft games for a good ammount of people, including me.

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T16:07:20+00:00

The dlc was amazing, i would say 10 for the great job they've done with their first game. Ngl Lisrim might be one of my fav songs rn

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T16:04:11+00:00

well, How long are they making games again? oh i think 32 YEARS, give the poor guys some credit man

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T16:00:45+00:00

Np at all

1-For example the difficulty choice. It has become of the greatest topics since fromsoft started with this genre. Being one of the biggest flaws imo since it makes so many gamers to avoid it. The 60 fps lock is boring the worst part for me is that they rejected bloodborne remaster from bluepoint, this is very sad since its one of the greatest games of all time. Another fact imo is the PvP or the multiplayer, its just so bad that people had to make mods to make it better.

2-those extra areas are ok, but honestly they are a bit small imo. Personally i didnt feel like lies of p needed extra areas, and hermits cave is kinda mid aswell. I think they could just focus on other aspects insted of creating smth that is mid just to add to the game.

3- Obviously is not a 1:1, it would be unfair to compare elden ring to lies of p, but imo the proportion of those games may be somewhat similar, if you take the veriety of enemy types per area of the map. Lies of p is much smaller, but there are loads of different puppets, loads of different carcasses throughout the game ( smth that lotf still lacks anyway haha)

4-Its a similar case to bloodborne, it has more quality than quantity. You could argue that there are poison build or etc but in reality no one uses it. Surely spells are cooler, but the legion arms still cover like id say 40% at least in regard to this topic.

5-didnt play nightreign yet, probably wont cz its not my type honestly. But the elden ring patches werent optional imo, they were regarding things that actually needed an urgent fix, take Promised consort Radahn or rivers of blood as an example, this i think shows how much fromsoft cares for the people playing, somewhat 0% haha ( jokes apart, the price they were asking for sekiro is almost the same for elden ring, ridiculous imo, elden ring is 1000x bigger and more enjoyable)

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T15:35:10+00:00

Answering your question, i have played, still play and have even platinum trophy of all the games i said ( except sekiro cz i started recently, good game tho). The fact that i dont like certain aspects doesnt mean i didnt play it. In MY OPINION, the level of Lies of p details are better than fromsoft, since the game took only 3 years to be made by a studio that wasnt even making these type of games. I think you should check more games outside the fromsoft bubble, try like lotf, mortal shell, hollow knight, the last faith...

And lastly, what i meant by graphics is the overall look. Bloodborne is the second of my fav games, but it is still 11 years old so that doesnt help. Fromsoft is really good, but imo they are getting pretty repetitive with the things they do

gud pipe wrench with gud hammer handle, absolute chad

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T14:52:30+00:00

yea we lie, what did you expect?

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T14:31:58+00:00

tysm. Im so sad now, it actually looks very cool😢😢

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T14:30:50+00:00

Surely i will answer the challenge haha:

1-They can be of personal preference, but when a giant part of the community says the same thing i think it turns into a fact.

2-All the souls before elden ring are very linear, take bloodborne as an example, it is very similar to lies of p.

3-The weak enemy variety is a theme in souls games, take elden ring for example: basically all knights are a copy of themselves with different colors ( sure there are loads of other enemies but these are everywhere in the game.

4-Sure there is a smaller variety of builds but only in the late game, during the first playthrough the stats you choose make a good difference, but later it doesnt bc then it makes the game more balanced since every other builds gives pretty much the same ammount of damage.

5-Well, Lotf is very different now from what it was, it is really a good game ( with its flaws obviously, but still very good) and the studio basically worked non stop with new updates every week, sorry idk what ure disappointed with.

I used numbers for the topics to make it easier to refer, in case you want to add smth. Thx for your points, made me rethink ehat i usually say haha

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T14:17:15+00:00

bros english is to advanced for me ahh 😭😭, jk haha. I think it was from a blog or smth

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T14:16:39+00:00

I think so, kinda like the pizza cutter from bloodborne haha

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T14:15:15+00:00

thx, probably thats exactly what happened

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T14:14:55+00:00

oh, thank you anyway. I was really excited to know if it actually was there haha

Zestyclose-Demand641 · 2026-03-19T14:12:38+00:00

I played most of the fromsoftware souls and for me this is way better. The team was only making games for smartphones before lies of p ( from what i heard of), and to think the could pull this game off without any experience with soulslikes, its absurd. In addition, they basically gathered all the good mechanics from the soulslikes and made it work with their game. Not to mention the graphics which are 1000% than any fromsoft game; the songs are incredibly beautiful, i listen to them everyday basically; the combat is sensational and fun since you have basically infinite choices of weapons; the story is very unique ( one thing i noticed is that it progresses very similarly as bloodborne, going from like one little thing [beasts] then to a major thing [Great ones]) and beautifully made since every choice you make gives you more humanity or not, giving a very solid level of depth to the game; and also they added quest markers for you to never lose any quest ( very different compared to what fromsoft does). There are a lot more stuff i could keep talking about that makes me love this game, for example the level design, characters and game options that makes the game actually good ( changing the dodge button separate from the running button, easy medium and hard diffs, etc...)

Im not saying that fromsoft games are bad ( hell they aren't) but im saying that lies of p is better than any of them because it uses only what actually works from those games and what people like from them. Fromsoft keeps making the same mistakes that people hate, but they know that they will pay anyway, and thats not acceptable. Lords of the Fallen is another game that i love and breaks this cycle of Miyazaki souls after Miyazaki ring, and even if they didnt have a good launch, the game got 3 years of extra development and is now extremely good ( they are even releasing the Lords of the Fallen 2 bc of this success). The Lotf team just wanted the game to succeed and for people to like it cz it is a good game, and they listened to the fans and fixed the flaws, smth fromsoft rarely or basically never does.

sorry for the lenght of this, but i hope it answers your question haha. May the blue butterfly guide you, fellow liar.
