Well I see that the poll is still up lol, so the results there are kinda pointless since people might change their vote based on the review scores we've been getting.

If you say at least 9 out of 10 and for you it's a 10 out of 10 is a stealth way of saying it should be rated higher by the critics.
oh boy, if u compare LoP to LotF , LoP should be rated even higher, rating LoP the same score of LotF ( IGN ) is a heresy imo.

oh boy, or u dont play a lot of games or u just play shit ones, sad to be you
Nah, I just don't exaggerate and understand how a scale works. 8/10 is still a very good score so saying that a game is at least above very good is moronic.

should be way higher, it's a very good game

Well for me it's a 7 but different people have different taste.

Well imo the fans of lop are way worse than from Software fans as far as defense force go. People mentioned Bloodborne and LOP in the same sentence is heresy not comparing lof and lop.

i dont thing LoP is good as BB, but the people that try to down play LoP ( Niowiz ) achivements just cause the game is to "hard" or because its a "copy paste of BB" are way more annoyng then the defenser force for LoP.

A LOT of souls streamers are praising what Niowiz and Round 8 did, even Max_Dood sayed that this game dosent fell a souls-like, it fells like a souls game and atm its his 2023 GOTY, game is good and can be compared directly to From games.

Well for me and many other its not that good? Who is right? Well I played the genre for probably 5k hours and for me most of the stuff we saw in lies of p was copied from souls-borne with some annoying twists. Max dood said he liked it more than Bloodborne which disables him from any conversation. It's objectevly wrong.

2/5 from eurogamer, oof. Same from sixthaxis.

But then also multiple 85+ scores? Were they playing the same game?

I know “opinions” and all that but that’s several std deviations away. I wonder if the former just experienced technical issues the others didn’t. to give a score of 40 due to performance/technical issues while others are giving 8+ doesn’t make sense.
If they're counting performance issues for this game and not for BG3 then there's something going on with these reviewers.

Also, Lies of P has tons of problems that press overlooked like they didn't exist and are far from being isolated. I'm just thinking on ignoring the press for soulslikes...

no, he didnt sayed that, he sayed that he can understant that some ppl liked more then BB, but for him BB still a better game, u guys really needs to clean your ears.

the BB comment its at 06:00.00, his personal reviews start at 05:49.00

Max sayed "and here is the thing, some ppl are like "i like this more then BB, i think this game is better then BB" you know, i think thats fair, some ppl having that interpretation of this, it may be better for some ppl, i get it, although i dont say thats true for me" that what he sayed, u guys need to clean your ears asap.

Seems that souls players are enjoying the game, but it's nowhere near the quality of FS games
Exactly as it actually offers KEY Souls like elements unlike a certain other "alleged" Souls like release.

Just needs polish and with the good sales that are coming they should tighten it up and also release DLC.

He says this is better than bloodborne but he likes bloodborne more personally.
My ears are clean.

he completely ignores the last part of the game being terrible .Chapter 10 and 11 are downhill

I don't care for that dood dude one bit, but he specified on reeee that he doesn't think that lop is better than bb, he just scored the game a purposely exagerated 11\10 and the game is his goty.

Both metacritic and opencritic scores continue to increase as more reviews start to come in.

I was gonna play this first before LOP but I think I'll start LOP tonight and hopefully they fix some of the performance issues by the time I'm done LOP.

Oh, I didn't expect this. I was expecting much higher scores after reading the previews. I'll wait players' feedback and make a decision. Perhaps I'll consider buying it when it goes on sale.

So he liked the bosses more than dark souls 1 and demons souls. Thinks its better than dark soul 2 and says it could have been directly made by from Software isn't one of the most hyperbole thing to say. Well alright. Let's wait some month if people still say that when the dust settle.

well, did the game released ? are u watching the reviews ? do i need to play Forspoken to know that was bad ? sorry rofif rofif
Reviews can be misleading buy usually you have a hunch if you will like the game or not.
I had a hunch I will like forspokn. Something pulled me to it.
I don't have that feeling with Lords. In fact I am repulsed by it :p
 
Well Darn, it looks like it might be similar to the first one? Fun but janky? Got my hopes up a little after the last thread on this about how many people worked on it. I will still play though. I enjoyed the first one quite a bit, so this will go on the "buy when on sale" list.

Dude, Lies of P is a 10/10 game period, just started my third playthrough.

Also, LoP looks so clean if compared to this, this games look like a asset mess from these reviews.
UE4 stays winning. Had my issues with LoP, but the visuals and performance are:

That said, I'll be downloading LotF this weekend and seeing how it fairs.

IMO this good for the future. UE5 will be a failure in console if this trend carries next year game release in 2024. So EPIC will be either forced to polish it or it will dump all together and yes PS5 investment on this will go in gutter but it will benefit Xbox, PS5 and PC in longer run if this tend of crap ports on Console carries till next year.
