Sound design

[Yiulias]

Is it me or the sound design is incredibly off and low quality? (from the streams and gameplay I've seen)

Weapon sfx when hit is like a wooden stick hitting a wall or something, the feeling is very off

This is a low budget project. You can’t expect a high quality sound when they go cheap.

when you price your game at a AAA price tag then people will compare it with AAA games regardless of what it is.

Bro whatcha mean. This is priced in triple a price.

All new games are $60 these days regardless of quality.
Dev obviously couldn't find a person with music degree for their sound department.

wait... hold on... ..... LOL you're judging it by watching videos off twitter/youtube or whatever... you're judging the audio by watching someone else play it online.. my god.

I never thought i'd want a refund because the sound design is bad but it might be a first and trust me when i say I wanted to love this game but the Audio is a big turn off. I might just let it pass because dark souls 1 had bad combat audio design but i've been spoiled since ds1..quite a pickle i'm in.

[Buddusky]

Yup. You're totally correct that sound design is awfully bad.

[Incandescence]

To give credit they did make the hit sounds better then before.

Bro the sounds picked themselves are bad, it's not a matter of "Im watching compressed videos on youtube/twitter" the SFX are genuinely badly made and dont fit the actions. Look up the backstab and tell me it's not the most unsatisfying sound you've ever heard for a backstab.

You can not imagine how worried I'm about this. If the sound is bad then the whole game is a crap, no matter how good is everything else

Same here. I have never cared about audio until this game. This has the worst audio in the gaming history. Even the games in 1990s had much better sound effects.

We want serious sounds effects here, because funny game have great sound system.

The sound of the striking weapons must be adequate and turn up the general volume to the point of shattering eardrums. This is advice that should apply to every video game. I do not understand why only 'From Software' manages to create video games with adequate sound effects. I have played myriad video games where the music was pumped up and the sound effects were pathetic. I hope this is not the case with Lord of The Fallen.

I really hope the devs will pump the sound to the max and also make a good sound design. I want to hear the volume of blows and bludgeoning and they must be different according to the weapon type, different and loud of course. This applies also for spells. Don't underestimate spells volume guys. (Honestly I didn't like at all the sound of fireball in the videogameplay I have seen so far). This game risks to be really disappointing in grahics, animations, sound design and fighting system, according to what I have seen so far in the web.
