Kind of reassuring when they take complaints from a demo and improve on them before release

shadowhaxor346d ago

Exactly.This is something that neither From or any other Soulslike developer has done as far as I can recall.

blackblades346d ago

Yeah, usually it be a beta like nioh. The demo usually arrives at a late time to able to fix whatever issue before release. You'll think some studio would have testers. I understand reason for not having early demos out but they should really get DF for technical side and max or whoever for the rest.

GoodGuy09346d ago

I quite liked the demo. Ran and looked very beautifully on PC which is something you gotta really appreciate nowadays. If you expect it to be exactly like soulsborne then...you are mostly right but it does have it's own things you do need to get down to get a good feel of the game. I hated the dodge and guarding at first but I think I now have a better grasp of it. I'm also very interested in this game's version of Pinocchio. Can't wait for release.

Also, Sophia is Queen.

Inverno346d ago

Runs well on medium settings on the Deck too which was very surprising. Very tempted to buy it day one cause of that and cause the atmosphere was amazing.

jznrpg346d ago

This game is looking pretty good to me.

I don’t play demos often so I’m just going to buy it . I’ll probably wait for the inevitable patches that will most likely be needed but hopefully it’s in good shape near or at launch.

Broncob346d ago

Played the demo and loved it, closest to Souls I've played so far, day one for me

Muadiib346d ago

A lot to like in the demo, but I won't be getting it. I like slower paced combat with sword and board and some rolling (like DS1 and ER). The dodge was horrible and it's all about parrying really, which I hate. I'm glad I played it though, made me realise I wouldn't like Sekiro or Bloodborne (if the later comes to PC). So it saved me some money!

Syphos345d ago

I agree with this comment but just fyi, sekiro is all about parrying, bloodborne is not.

I actually really like bloodborne's dodge mechanic the most out of all the souls games, sure parry can get you a visceral attack on a boss to do some more dmg but it is definitely not needed

Muadiib345d ago

Fair enough, I still feel naked without a shield in these kinds of games!

Lies of P DLC Set to Be Released in Second Half of 2024

According to Neowiz, the Lies of P DLC is scheduled to be released in the second half of 2024, and is being developed in-house.

toxic-inferno16d ago

Great news.

If anyone is still deliberating picking this game up, I highly recommend it.

derek16d ago

Love this game, picked it up later than I should but was hooked on it.

robtion16d ago

Nice. Wizard of Oz DLC incoming!

toxic-inferno15d ago

The predictions are that the sequel will be Wizard of Oz. I read theories that the DLC would be Peter Pan.

__y2jb15d ago

I’ve enjoyed the game game and I think I’m just about to fight the end boss. The Pinocchio / puppet angle is the weakest part of the whole package imo. They should have just made their own world.

‘Stellar Blade, but good’ is here, and it came out seven months ago

Stellar Blade might be the hot game right now, but we already got a better version of it more than half a year ago.

Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews. No shade on Lies of P but just pointing that out.

But i don't even know why compare them? Because both are souls type games?

Then you can just reuse this article all the time and say Elden Ring is "whatever new souls game" but good for every new souls game.

Stellar blade hate articles must be rolling with clicks...

Tacoboto37d ago

Everyone in here now is clicking and commenting on this post.

Whoever the "community" is that approved it (Doubt it), contributors should report this article and any other from this low-quality click-bait website for being exactly what it is.

Remember that the reviewer loved the combat too. But because of the character and physics he wrote it off immediately.

Levii_9237d ago

Not that it even matters but both of those games are way better than their metacritic scores.

SubtilizZer37d ago

@VersusDMC “Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews“
This is actually misleading as Stellar Blade has only been reviewed on one platform. Both technically sit at 82… and Lies of P has about 30 more reviews right now.

VersusDMC37d ago

You are correct. Especially if you look at open critic. Just wanted to point out that Lies of P is not higher rated critically overall for the first paragraph and did some slight exaggeration not accounting for PC and Xbox reviews.

TwoPicklesGood37d ago

To be fair, Stellar Blade had a lot of hype and isn’t an indie game like Lies of P. So Lies 80% vs Stellars 82% only proves good good Lies was. That said, you all need to stop getting so upset over review scores. If you want the hame you’re going to get it, if you don’t you won’t and those supposedly claiming they are “on the fence” will wait for a sale regardless.

Crows9037d ago

Not really. I view all games with the same eyes. Don't care if indie or not...a game is a game.

Aussiesummer37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

the only things that are pointing out are the nipples in stellar blade.

I mean… it’s like saying we have a better NieR with Devil May Cry. Yea, there’s some similarities, but Lies is really hardcore in the sense of emulating a FromSoft game almost perfectly, where Stellar has some Souls-like elements, but I’d say it’s closer to Sekiro than say a Dark Souls game. This almost feels click-baitey

Psychonaut8537d ago

What if, and hear me out, they’re both really good? Mind blowing, I know.

Christopher37d ago

Listen here you, that's not how this is supposed to work. You choose a side and you defend it. None of this little "what if there's more than one good game out there" nonsense.

Fishy Fingers37d ago

Bro that behaviour is whats paying N4G's bills.

Christopher37d ago

It helps. But, as an individual, I still have my own opinion. I do wish conflict didn't sell as well as it does.

jambola37d ago

No wonder n4g is the cesspool that it is
Uses to be good but you'd rather clickbait low quality crap
Straight from the horses mouth, you really don't give a shit

Christopher37d ago

I said the opposite, jambola. But I don't think you're really reading what I say, only what you want me to say.

jambola37d ago

"I do wish conflict didn't sell as well as it does."
you put this story here

Stop it. There's only room for one good game at a time and you know it. Any more than that will literally melt people's minds.

Crows9037d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Oh geez...this is why journos suck...they can't even see differences between games.

Stellar blade is nothing like lies of P. Didn't these guys give stellar a bad score? Geez they really hate it. Stop the hate! Lol

Friendlygamer37d ago

It's kinda bizarre what gaming journalism has become

Lives of P hits 7 million players

7 MILLION reasons to celebrate.
Thank you for being part of our journey.

darthv7274d ago

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

CrimsonWing6974d 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-inferno73d 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.

Armyofdarkness74d 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).

Furesis74d ago

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

Petebloodyonion74d 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_Slaughter73d 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.
