I'm going to skip this game I read that its harder than Sekiro and Nioh 2 which is just a winch and squint fest for me.Plus with all the games I bought recently I'll basically have no time to play it I mean I haven't even grazed Code Vein and Scarlett Nexus.I'm actually more intrested in Bleak Faith anyway. Plus what happened to Wild Hearts it's kinda of a gamble even though I played the Demo a bit on PS5.

Ooof, harder than Sekiro and Nioh 2? Hadn't heard that (though I'm not exactly surprised). Yeah....my reaction timing wasn't good enough for Nioh or Sekiro, so I'll likely sit this one out too
 
I heard PC performance was rough during the last preview build...hopefully it's better optimized at release but I'm expecting issues

Nioh 2 can be hard for sure but the multiplayer component always allowed for help. Sekiro had no such option so if you hit a wall it was get good or give up. I was in the latter. So Wo Long will have same multiplayer assistance option so you never have to be stuck.

This is another game made by Koei Tecmo, so it's to be expected. Their PC ports are always terrible.

you should give Sekiro another try...it's right up there with Bloodborne for me...Bloodborne had the better environment/world but other than that I think Sekiro is on par with it in terms of combat, gameplay etc...I got 100% of its Achievements which is something I rarely care to do

I could have sworn Wo Long was announced to be single player only....but it looks like that changed! Thats awesome to hear, I definitely always enjoy a co-op souls game.
 
I watched a dozen videos on Bleak Faith actually have more faith in this game even though already refunded it. If this game was next gen I would pick it up but it's a PS4 game.
 


Looks just like Nioh 1 stuff on fire again I'm sure it's really way too hard the problem I have with it the combat all squishes together where I don't even care.
You will see guys like Fighting Cowboy who are basically sponsored by Koi Temco.
 
I hear PC performance for the new demo is rough...apparently the Steam version is capped at 60fps while the MS Store and Game Pass versions are 120fps

Could be just the Demo I'll see how the reviews Peter pan out but people are having a hard time with the Demo Boss.
 
I played the demo for a bit. Can't quite put my finger on what this reminds me of. Its way different from Nioh and Dark Souls. Whatever its reminding me of is.....much older. Like PS2 days.

Tonight I played it on a system with an RTX 2060. At 1080p, Performance was ok. I wouldn't say terrible. But, you also do not get granular control over settings.

Lots of environmental objects flashing and dissappearing. Apparently a new driver is needed for this game. I have the latest so, i'm assuming a day 1 driver will fix it.

Anyway.....its ok. I do not like how the run animation feels. The combat system seems easier and favors aggression. I think this game may be meant overall, to be a little more accessible.

Exploration in early part of the demo was pretty poor. But it was still training me on the combat system so...I'll wait until I dig in a little further.

Visually, even though it technically has more shader effects going on. I.....think it looks worse than Nioh 2. The shaders and textures were low res. Granted, I didn't play in the "resolution' mode. So, maybe that looks way better.

Also, there is a sharpness filter which is way too strong and also randomnly gets stronger and then lighter.
 
The character creator has a huge amount of detail. More than I cared for, personally. But, if you like that, its a lot.

I also hear that with the last demo the parry window was too short and with this new demo they overcompensated and made it too long

Keep going at it even if it takes you over 1,000 tries, thats how souls-like games work. My tip is to be really aggressive on the first phase and dont even bother using spells just stay on his ass and keep attacking to stunlock him. Second phase is just block his basic attacks and dodge them and only attack when youve parried his special attacks. Also, use that pirate cutlass looking sword its really fast and will help to stunlock

I was looking at some posts about this game seeing some who couldn't maintain 60fps on a 4090 in the demo which is like....what the fuck. Why do games keep doing this?
 
the newest demo is rumored to be from an older build but no doubt the PC release is going to have issues...the gameplay itself sounds really good so hopefully they patch it up reasonably quick...same with Atomic Heart (and Callisto Protocol)...all those games are worth playing but not on Day 1...PC gaming has become an exercise in patience...wait a few months while it gets patched while going through your backlog

Dying Light 2 came out a year ago and I just started playing it...it's in much better shape now compared to launch

They censored the dude's nipple in the screen cap for the video.
 
the game is getting good reviews but it does have some technical issues on PC and unfortunately the difficulty is not as high as I was hoping for...

Buy Wo Long Fallen Dynasty Review- But Be Aware of These Issues

 
Early release in different parts of the world are real review bombing this game bad Mostly Negative on Steam I think the PS5 and X-BOX versions are better.
Unless people are playing on really dated rigs and are just upset.

Love how there people with 15 year old CPUs complaining that they can't run a modern game.

PCGamer like the game a lot. I do like what they had to say about how the gameplay can feel almost choreographed.

That said, the demo didn't leave me with a great impression. So, I dunno.

seems to be getting 8/10 scores on a lot of the reputable review sites...but as usual it has issues on PC (plus DLSS is only coming in a post-launch patch)...I'm definitely in as I never played any of Team Ninja's previous games (Nioh in particular) so I want to try this...but I want to wait for some patches (I usually only play From Software games on Day 1 as they are pretty bug free and stable- the frame pacing doesn't bother me too much)
 
This game is really hard lol like a hard Sekiro and Nioh combined don't think I'll pick it up.

everything I've read says the complete opposite...much easier than any From Software title or even the Nioh games...it's a not a very difficult game at all...the graphics, story and PC performance are also underwhelming...where the game does shine is in its combat but even then it seems like a much less complex version of their Nioh games...apparently they wanted Wo Long to be more accessible so they made it much easier...they also continue to make the world a series of levels versus making it an interconnected world like the Souls games

More "accessible," and yet you still have people complaining the first boss is too hard.
 
Again, kb/m is the standard control method for the pc platform, there's nothing wrong with being annoyed it isn't supported. Some people prefer playing these kinds of games with them, some do not. It is certainly a deficiency worth docking the game for.

I played the original Dark Souls on pc via mouse/kb because of this...I mean I didn't know any better. When I finally tried a controller on a replay I felt dumb for not having done it sooner. You wouldn't use mouse/kb for a driving game and this is really no different in that it is designed for a controller.

I tried both an Xbox controller and kb/m and liked kb/m better for dark souls. It's hardly the same as your driving game analogy, :).
 
Ah, didn't see it states it in a big warning on the product page. It's silly to complain about then in my opinion.
That doesn't give Wo Long a pass, though. In Brothers you simply can't play the game with keyboard & mouse, but you have the option to in this and it was fumbled completely by simply translating joystick movement on the mouse. I was just giving an example of a game that was received well on PC despite the lack of kb&m control. I think Koei Tecmo was just worried based on the reception of Ninja Gaiden with its lack of kb&m support on launch and felt they had to include it here. But as with nearly all Koei Tecmo PC ports, everything is half-assed or no-assed to get it running on PC.
