Lords of the Fallen (2023) Changes to "Male/Female body option" via Patch Version 1.7.73 as promised (Currently 67% OFF on Steam)

I had to check Reee to see what they thought. This reply made me laugh so hard. So much projection here ....

Holy shit the pot kettle.

These mentalists scream for dei in games and never turn up to buy all the woke shit. Or they do turn up but there's less than 1% of these clowns that can't move the needle.

The folks over at Reeee are so upset by this and screeching to the high heavens. Good Lord these people need mental help and fast.

I can't deal with Gen Z. Period. Both liberals and conservatives are rotting in dreadfully polarized echo chambers, constantly canceling each other and relentlessly looking for the next "gotcha". Gen Alpha needs to bring back some balance and common sense, or we are all doomed.

On the topic though, excellent news. Still not going to get the game. Make something better.
The Gen Z vote for presidency lead 46 points for the side of normalcy and logic. So that's a pretty good sign for them waking up and tired of the BS.

The approach going by the tweet seems to have work out.

Type A and type b naming scheme was dumb and clearly push something everyone recognized through the shape what it really meant

A polarized side voted for the side they are polarized towards. Not much of a sign of anything other than the obvious. But I’d rather not comment on politics or judge people based on it.

There is nothing polarizing about normalcy and logic.
Funny thing about words like normalcy and logic is that everyone thinks their side is the most normal and logical. It’s the very reason people get polarized in the first place. This is not even a new phenomenon. For all of human history, the greatest atrocities were committed in the name of restoring or maintaining normalcy and logic. Not saying what is happening now is an atrocity (more like a pushback to what had become ideological tyranny), but just saying those words are so subjective in society that they don’t hold much meaning.

The unique problem with gen Z is this polarization has happened between the sexes. Look at any study that breaks demographics by political affinity and sex and you will see the majority on polar opposites. And if the sexes start judging each other based on their politics, instead of having open conversations and accepting an opposing point of view, they will likely end up alone all their lives. Humanity will literally be doomed if we keep up with that. I’m not interested in who they vote for or what is more normal or logical. But I’m interested to voice against cancel culture, which is what the new generation needs to reckon with, regardless of the side they pick

Isn’t the other world mechanic really annoying?
I thought they had "tweaked" it.. for certain they fixed some audio issues in the umbral realm, but , I did hear some mentioning it was a really frustrating when it first released.

Right, right... but can we get an option to change the sprint button to hold circle instead of clicking in the left stick? Do that and its an instant buy.

If holding circle isn't already mapped to something, you can change Cricle (hold) to a left stick command in the Steam options. This well let you press circle to do the regular command or hold it to sprint. Even if it is already mapped, you can switch it.

If you've never used the controller customization in Steam before, it's super in depth. You can do all kinds of stuff.
 
I really enjoyed my time with the game, but it did have some annoyances, but overall I really enjoyed it.

I genuinely don't care about the naming scheme, it's a whole bunch of nothing that can used as ammo, apparently.

My biggest issue is that it appears the sequel is being helped or fully funded by Epic, which would mean exclusivity to that shit hole, and that's a real bummer if that happens. Feels extra gross doing the sequel locked elsewhere when the previous game sold well on all store fronts.

I don't know, feels a bit shitty, but I don't think it's been confirmed to be exclusive, but if Alan Wake 2 is anything to go by, then we are screwed.

The bolded is not true. There are just as many competing atrocities that were counter to cultural norms. Great Leap Forward, Lenin, Stalin, etc..

The rest I can agree, with maintaining an open dialogue. But that would require the side that was pushing them into a corner the past decade, to want that as well. Which most, do not.

Fair point. I definitely exaggerated my claim.

Agreed. That’s what I meant by ideological tyranny. But I have no hopes of this changing for gen z. It’s only going to get worse. Their crucial, formative years are over, I’m afraid. You are either “woke” or you are a… “chud”? (I don’t even know how that is pronounced. Going to look up now)

1) The game is good, and you should play regardless. I think it has some of the best level design in the genre.
2) The whole idea that type A/B is good and Male / Female is transphobic or whatever is retarded. Trans people know what a male body and a female body are; that's why they want to transition and look like the other one in the first place. You couldn't fucking have dysphoria without differences in bodies.
3) Making a whole campaign about this is a bit silly, but the fact developers can openly say they don't like some of this shit and don't get piled on is a good thing overall.

Lmao. Already 3 copies sold in this thread. I will support this dev (because the game is also on sale). I did try it on GamePass but I have too much to play and it will deffo leave the service before I get round to it

It's on sale now for £23, if it says 69.99 on the app change the version from deluxe.
Yup…

…just got it. Did not know it was on sale. PS5 Pro support and general support should be rewarded too. Feel a bit bad getting it on a sale though, I hope it helps somewhat still.

Speaking as an early Gen Y liberal, I just can't deal with Gen Z liberals anymore. They're so deep into their echo chambers that they can't be helped. Like this dude actually believes this shit, despite all of the evidence to the contrary. Just look at the EA/Veilguard news today. Or the record breaking failure of Concord. Where do they come up with this shit?

i come to that forum nowaday just for some loled, seeing them meltdown over every of new president desicion is hilarious, it's hardly any news worthy can come from that forum as they will just banned any news that doesn't fit their narative

Would you recommend this for PS5 Pro or PC? PC is 13600k and 4070S
I wouldn’t recommend it as I think it’s an incredibly boring game, but I hear the Pro version is excellent and looks crisp and clean. I’m always wary of recommending UE5 games on PC, but your setup is indeed decently more powerful than a Pro, so you can push it further.

I'll be purchasing now to show my support. I played the game on gamepass, didn't care for it, but I have to support studios who publicly fight back against the mind virus, so that's a sale from me. Put your money where your principles are folks.
Are they fighting against it? As far as I’m concerned, they were part of the problem. They only reversed course when they realized gamers were fed up with this garbage, but did you need to ask players about having male/female to know it wasn’t a problem?

They saw an easy way to score points against that DEI nonsense and are pretending to fight the good fight when it’s simply self-serving. Their game is also mediocre, so they most certainly don’t deserve your money.

The fact they even bothered to change it all shows they do t give a shit about the male/female either way. Hopefully this at least means they will focus on the important parts of making a game the next go around instead of virtue signaling. I’ll throw them $20 I heard the game is much improved since launch.

Adorable of you to think there weren't millennial talons typing that message.

I still think that showing support on a sale even for people that feel this way is important. People should show what makes money and what does not.

Dudes, listen up :

Maybe this game was shit on release but, NOW, it's a very enjoyable souls-like with INCREDIBLE art-direction (can't stress this enough), shit is the DEFINITION of Grimdark and I say that in a good sense, the bleakness is really something else in this game, from the decrepit shacks/villages, to the imposing castles/cathedrals, to the dingy dungeons... everything looks as it should, dark, foreboding, gloomy and proper rotten...
Also, on the PS5 Pro at least it's one of the prettiest games out there (no hyperbole) at a rock steady 60fps.
It's the closest thing to Bloodborne's dark and beautiful art-direction and that's the biggest compliment I can give to a game, also, the fact that they ironed out the game's performance, fixed/changed the weapon sounds amongst other things goes to show that the devs really care about their game.

No, It's not going to light the world on fire but, it's as good as soul-likes get (now) , and for the price that it can be bought these days (20-20something Eurodollars) is a no brainer.

Bought both lies of P and this 2 months ago and while Lies of P was good (it also has better combat in my opinion), Lords of the Fallen, just for the fact of the amazeballs art-direction in my opinion wins - your mileage may vary obviously but...yeah 😉
How is the story and storytelling? Really intrigued, given that discount and what you just said.
