Hyped by streamers (shills) but sucks IRL, what a surprise. At least it (sort of) runs on steamdeck.

Its too expensive, this is not a AAA game studio right? why is it so expensive for so little content available now? You think Early access means charging full price to get free beta testing from players? Yeah not likely, removed from my wishlist as well

Went to watch force gaming play it on YouTube .
Clicked on stream- and he was in the middle of a huge rant about whether or not it was paid promotion.
Seemed really defensive about it and he sat on the topic a little too long.

Very sus.

I am shocked, SHOCKED that this isn't the insanely good game people on here were trying to push.

Well, maybe not so shocked.

You must run a potato if steam deck can beat it.

Larian is an indie studio and Baldur's Gate 3 is $60.

oh damn, thx for the reminder. Have to unwishlist and unfollow this. Mainly due to their hypocrisy about not selling to Russian people.

The main problems with this game are three fold:

1.) In runs horribly (I'm getting max 80 FPS with a i9-12900K and 3070Ti and 32GB of RAM at 1080P which drops FREQUENTLY at 20-30FPS during combat) I posted on their forum for what it's worth but I'm not getting my hopes up.

2.) It's not a classic ARPG or Diablo-like at all, it's a souls-like with chunky sluggish combat.

3.) The durability system is freaking awful. If your armour is broken, you can't even fight mobs to repair it, you're just screwed.

Overall this is a chocolate covered turd. Looks very pretty from the outside but once you get past that, it's sh**

Great, this is exactly why I hate when companies who don't need to release their game in early access, still do so just to cash in early: first impressions matter, so if the initial response is negative, the reputational damage can't be fully repaired even if you improve the game later. I unwishlisted also, I'll stick to the Ori games and try to forget the company behind them.

game is insanely good. so you need insanely good hardware :D

How were you not aware of this, though? It's been one of the more emphasized aspects of the game. This is more of a personal disappointment you're having than an actual problem. I am specifically interested in this game because of its combat and encounter setups. I didn't want another modern-day Diablo experience.

Besides the fact that people have cleared the first boss naked (meaning the point about being "just screwed" is debatable), have you considered getting hit less so your armor lasts longer?

That's what makes me the most weary. No amount of love for Ori would make me want to deal with sliggish isometric combat meant to evoke the "souls" feeling. Especially when you have games like Hades which has incredibly tight controls that feel so good to play.

Wow, that sounds extra yikes. As someone who probably would die more than the average....let's say action gamer....that makes me want to stay far far away.
