This game is the perfect mix of character action and souls like.

I'm absolutely in love. The first 10 minutes easily outdid any God of War game in setpiece scale.

Move over compromised western devs, bring on the mainland Asian devs. This being Game Science's first game is an absolutely incredible achievement.

Foreal?

So, how difficult is this game overall?

 

[Chuck Berry]

Givin me that itch for a brand new

 

[GHG]

That bandwidth is for Concord. You aint fooling us.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Traversal stutter here and there, otherwise works fine.

Combat is 99% smooth yeah.

Btw i didn't get any boss soul from the bonfire, do i have to reach a certain bonfire?

Thanks frens, ended up pulling the trigger.

Guess that's a +100 to my social credit score. Wahoo!

Little too early to tell, but I don’t think anyone here is really struggling yet

Protip for all you master racers, Use this to disable the sharpening - https://github.com/Lyall/UltrawidePatches/tree/main/Black Myth Wukong

It's an ultrawide fix, but in the ini it has the option to disable the sharpening, so if you just want to use that, then disable the aspectratio fix and enable the disable sharpening.

Game looks magnificent now, I've reshaded in CAS instead of the awful UE sharpening and its *chef's kiss*

Can you describe CAS for me please?

Is it one single reshade effect and if so which effect bundle is it part of so I can try it.

Thnx

Guys I can’t stop thinking about monke. Buying this the minute I get home.

How hard is it compared to souls games?

 

[CosmicComet]

Foreal?

Yes, it was way more impressive than the GoW3 titans opening.

 

[CosmicComet]

How hard is it compared to souls games?

Its more like devil may cry, but with a stamina bar and 'bonfires'

so far not hard at all. You do have to be careful though.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Only took 14 years for someone to do it.

Would you say combat is satisfying? I was gonna wait to buy this til I beat Shadow of the Erdtree, but it's too enticing

 

[FoxMcChief]

Got to leave some bandwidth free to be able to shitpost on GAF.

You just gotta give the hamster in the router a little more food.

PSA

Well that’s just bad design.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I had a speech ready to try and get the game, then my wife reminded me that she was taking her car in for service, lol. I’ll have to think of something else. I’m just trying to not use a credit card.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Well that’s just bad design.

Confirmed as bullshit. Should’ve known not to trust Retarddit

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Killed 4 bosses. My god it's fun yet accessable. A breath of fresh air after Elden Ring.

Hell yes its satisfying.

You can pick it up on altar later lol

It’s more of a beat them up (that’s how I see it) with generous checkpoints and you lose nothing by dying.

Cool to see a new release thread be longer here than the one at the asylum

Damn dude my bad

 

[Heaven Angel]

Steam has more trophies than on PlayStation
81 and 36

What could be the reason, if anyone knows.

 

[Jack Videogames]

Guys I can’t stop thinking about monke.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I got to stop reading this thread, It's only making me want to buy it. I hate this type of game, I went through this with Elden Ring, Don't want to suffer. I'll buy the game and play it for a few hours get frustrated and quit.

 

[Braag]

Progress the story a little bit, don't worry I felt the same exact way. You're good, just need to meet the NPC to help you with that. No need to fight it again or anything.

Yeah, it all got sorted. Seems the devs knew some people might kill that boss early.

This isn't anywhere near as hard as any souls game.

I suffered my way to completing Elden Ring, you saying it's possible I can finish this?

 

[Braag]

I suffered my way to completing Elden Ring, you saying it's possible I can finish this?

I'm just a little bit into chapter 2 so far and only 1 boss made me have to retry it a couple of times. Rest I killed on 1st try and I usually struggle with souls games.
There was a secret boss that was challenging at first so I returned to it later and it was much easier then. So your gear and skills have an actual noticeable effect.

Best part is that checkpoint is right next to the boss so no need to run gauntlets to get to bosses.

 

[Isa]

I suffered my way to completing Elden Ring, you saying it's possible I can finish this?

I think you should be fine, I bounced off of Elden Ring as I don't want to force that sort of difficulty right now, but this has been a different beast overall. Soulslike elements but feels much more an action adventure game.

Overall its been a damn fine game from what I've played but its still early for me lol. Looks nice on PS5 to me and I like the story so far.

The gestapo is banning anyone who admits to playing it. It's WizardGame all over again.

 

[Rudius]

I tried to watch, but I couldn’t handle listening to that voice.

It's a voice for modern audiences.

 

[GymWolf]

Wait a moment, can you get in secret places with the cicada form or it's just to explore without fighting?

Because i immediately turned into monke when shorty turned me into an insect so i didn't explored in that mode.

 

[Jack Videogames]

My 4070 suffers with this game. Only got a decent framerate playing on High. Forget about RTX...

Next gen I'm going 5090 for sure

 

[ClosBSAS]

What a great game. 4 bosses down. Fun as hell.pc maxed out at 4k, so good.

 

[TropicanaTwista]

Is the performance ok on PS5? Was super skeptical of how only PC was reviewed. Was also gonna torn on this game but the overall reception seems good so might give it a try. Just don't want a busted gane

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

You love to see it.

 

[FunkMiller]

Just started, and it’s literally fucking Monkey Souls

Awesome though. Monkey was a huge part of my childhood, so I’m loving it.

 

[48086]

Crap. I'm going to have to buy this and run it on my potato 5700. Looks too good.

Any cheap keys anywhere?

 

[M1987]

I'm enjoying this game so far, it's really good

 

[Zathalus]

Imagine playing this game so seeped in Chinese culture in English.

Also, the Wandering Wight is basically the Tree Sentinel of this game. You can face it early on, but you’re very likely to get wrecked. I almost had it, but it caught me with that wind blast attack and one-shotted me again.

The subtitles are way to small on my TV to read properly. The white also gets lost easy in some of the environments.

 

[GHG]

It's monkeys actually. Lazy fuckers slacking on the job instead of processing my download.

 

[TheTurboFD]

Just started, holy crap that intro was pretty sick.
