so just been to anor londo...

[GrandTickler]

i feel dirty...

not only is it a shameless ripoff, if felt extremely cheap and low effort because they had those exact same round pillars, but instead of making them rotate like in dark souls 1, they copy pasted some switches and doors all over the place... oh well at least the enemies were cool

I mean i love the combat in the game, but straight copy attempts like this makes me sad. theres so much freedom and imagination that can be put into games, this one takes souls-like a little too literally. this is the third area ive seen being copied directly from souls games so far. the others being the Pit and Farron Keep from dark souls 2.

At the same time, the layout is absolutely nothing like it at all and Anor Londo was just a copy paste of European Cathedrals.
Even that Crystal area in Dark Souls 1 is based on a real life location, they traveled around and got photos from a ton of different real life locations and just copied it into the game.

I don't think that it's fair to say that Anor Londo has a monopoly on the European Cathedral look.

its not just the look, i felt like entire chunks were copy pasted lol, like these things:

i felt like they were all over the place in this game but they just couldnt move.
last night a dark souls streamer reached this place too and he too couldnt believe what he saw lol

I mean my first reaction was that it looked like Anor Londo too, but I don't really think that it's as similar as people make it out to be.

Kudos to you. People has long forgetten that Anor Londo was the inspiration idea, not original. Especially they just copy the structure remodel them into game. Not just Anor Londo too. Calling out every other souls like game "rip off" isn't really fair when Souls games themselves do the same.

Anor Londo traumatized some people to the point of having conniptions anytime they see a flying buttress.

The areas play very differently, and the area in Code Vein is way larger than Anor. It's a similar theme and architecture, but saying it's a "shameless ripoff" is far from true.

Serious question; Why everything in this game must be compared to Dark Souls? After hearing it for a while, it feels like Dark Souls is the only game that exist in this community...

Maybe because this game has a gameplay and mechanics that mimic dark souls. It's like comparing every single FPS that came to the market with Doom on the 90s.

You're in for a ride my friend!. This game has Blight Town, Lost Izalith, Anor Londo, Elem Loyce from DS2 and uh... I swear there was amoment where I was walking right into the kiln of the first fire, and I was expecting to fight Gwyn until Io spoke and reminded me this wasn't dark souls.

Ah, make sense. Seems like Dark Souls is much more successful than Demon's Souls __(:' I didn't really follow this soulslike game, so I'm stuck there. Haha.

They're just exaggerating it too much. The game is good but the sad part is fandom itself.

They don't even bother with the word. They will just praise dark souls being a godlike and call everything else shameless.

Make me feel shame to ever claim myself one of DS fan.

Dark Souls invented cathedrals. It's true.

[FauxFurry]

Ah, Anor Londo is just the Spencer Mansion from Resident Evil super-sized.
