Just Dark Souls with Robots

[Persona non grata]

This game is just the worst parts of Dark Souls, now with Robots, and they lure you in by pretending it's not going to be.

-2/10; already fighting for a refund.

Has it yet to come?

I actually play a wealth of games of varying genres and aesthetics.

Trust me. This is Dark Souls with Robots. They didn't try to leave the nest at all with this one.

"Just trust me bro, this is dark souls". Not even hiding that this is the crux of your argument. >_>

*sigh*...

You can't goad me into playing it. It's been a terrible experience and I want my money back.

Let's say it is Dark Souls. So what?

[Krazy Wallet]

Dark Souls vet that has roughly 2k hours in the franchise. This game is not Dark Souls. If someone recommended this game to me because it's, "Dark Souls in a Mech", I'd be asking them to pay me $60. It's a great game in its own right; it's not not a souls game though.

Perhaps people don't realize this, but big, hard bosses isn't the only necessary element for something to be souls. Toruk 2: seeds of evil (dating myself here) had big, hard bosses and that's not souls like. There's the leveling up RPG to make your own character and style, very high risk/penalty for death, bonfire mechanics, equipment/armor/ring customization, and most importantly - fashion souls.

I unlocked all sorceries, tried them all. None of them are a "shoulder nuke", and I mean, clearly you didn't do a good job at playing this game, and you're speaking like an authority on it. Rules for thee, but not for me ?

Not to mention, weren't you the one who gave me credit for knowing what I was talking about? I didn't know how much time I'd spent on FS games til you prowled my profile and let me know: 800+ hours.

I may not be the de facto expert on the matter, but an opinion from someone who has played FS games is something I legitimately have. Lol

Why should anyone trust you on anything? You haven't even demonstrated any ability to form a coherent argument.

I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ if you play it or not, I told you this 10 times. You're speaking out of your ass and that's the problem here.

In what way is this game similar to Dark Souls? Care to enlighten me, OP, since you seem to know so well?

HOW THIS GAME IS SIMOLAR TO DARK SOULS:

1. Within the first chapter, not much. That's how I got suckered in.
2. After Chapter 2, the pacing is entirely like Dark Souls. Fights have the exact same hand-feel as dodging in a souls game; if you use beam-sword (which I have) it's even the same going in for attacks.
3. Bosses follow the same inspirations. I exaggerate that EVERY boss is a big biped with a stick (or mech with a gun, in this case), but considering 3 in a row were exactly that, doing attacks that boil down to "I'm bigger than you", I don't feel the need to backpedal and say I truly meant "every other" boss.
4. I'm assuming you want differences AC *should* have between itself and DS.
Honestly... Physics? I called ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on Elden Ring for being an anime wrapped in LotR, but AC is officially fantasy. Everything moves and feels like a faster Dark Souls, and makes less sense with its movements, somehow.
5. Finally, all of the games are wildly inconsistent. The fact that I can pull the exact same behaviors under the exact same circumstances and get innumerably different outcomes drives me insane.
I'm talking: enemy is in the middle of an attack, I respond by standing still, sometimes I get hit, sometimes I don't. If I fire at an enemy charging straight at me, sometimes the projectile hits them, sometimes it doesn't.

*that's* Dark Souls. Wild inconsistency, even when I'm in control of the situation. At the slightest twitch, something abruptly new can happen, because I didn't know the game could glitch.

One time, I had Balteus throw his opening fire sword Salvo before his discharge warning. FUN. I could do a better job programming, and I'm not much of a coder. Lol

Sure, all action games are just s faster or slower darksouls if that's all you want to compare it too. Do you call Monster Hunter a souls like too?
Enemies will miss if you change your speed and direction at the right time. There's a point where they lock in their aim and will miss if you change anything about your momentum then. That's how you can dodge without I-frames
As for your aim, check your FCS. Every FCS performs differently at short, medium, and long range. If your aim reticle is wandering around your target you need to change your FCS or your engagement distance

AC6 really isn't liie a souls game. The closest thing are the bosses and if that's enough to consider it a souls like then Metal Gear Rising is a souls like

You didn't play this though. I actually played enough of this and enough of Dark Souls and enough of ER to know that this isn't a soulsborne. You know what a soulsborne is, but you don't know what this game is. :D

Trust me. This is Dark Souls with Robots. They didn't try to leave the nest at all with this one.

What does that suppose to mean?
Because you played a lot of video games, I should assume that you are some kind of expert on gaming?

I played DS1, DS3, Elden RIng and Sekiro, put over 1000 hours into these games together.
Also played other games for an incredible amount of time.

And I come to the conclusion that this game doesn't have anything in common with the dark souls series. Literally nothing. Except this moonlight lasersword maybe...
Gameplaywise it is a differnt universe entirely.




Or is it just the jester awards you're after?

Stop trying to sidetrack the conversation off your ignorance of what this game is. x)
