this reminds me... I have to get back into this one. Really well made and I like the story.

CrimsonWing69407d ago

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.

toxic-inferno406d ago

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.

Armyofdarkness406d ago

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).

Furesis406d ago

It does say "players" and not copies sold so i think you are correct

Petebloodyonion406d ago

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.

Sgt_Slaughter406d ago

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.

Lies of P's Overture DLC Could Be Taking the Shadow of the Erdtree Approach

The upcoming Overture DLC for Lies of P sounds like a game unto itself, not unlike FromSoftware’s recent massive Elden Ring add-on.

So excited for this. Lies of P is in my top 3 souls games and that is including games made by FromSoft

Elden Ring
Dark Souls 3
Lies of P
Bloodborne

Keep telling myself I’m gonna go back and grab the platinum in Lies of P before the DLC but there are an unreasonable amount of incredible games releasing this year lol

toxic-inferno31d ago

I really enjoyed going for the Lies of P platinum. It felt like less of a grind than most of the FromSoft Soulsbourne games. Highly recommend it.

But yes, too many great games for sure!

GenoPurpel31d ago

I unfortunately accidentally missed the last step for one of the quest lines for the last gold record I need and it was right near the end of the game.. so I will have to do a third playthrough and I’m procrastinating it but hope to do it again before the DLC lol

gold_drake30d ago

omg me too i loved the game so mjch. the lore is incredible.

and yes, this yea ris nuts in terms of mew stuff ha

IN_ecK30d ago

Played pretty much all the big souls games out there and ”all” from soft titles but didn’t enjoy the demo of lies of P. Does the game get a lot better (mostly environment wise)?

gold_drake30d ago

definitely
but u better check out some gameplay videos and convince yourself. especially if the demo didnt convince you outright

It is not often when you see a DLC for a game that released over a year ago and won’t drop closer to 2 years after release. I still haven’t played the game. I own it now but I haven’t got to it yet. Soon though

jznrpg31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

I beat the games several endings now and got the platinum. That last boss for real ending was a mofo. Great game!
