Lords is super solid, but could have trimmed a lot of inconsistent quality areas and been fantastic. Coop is absolutely broken and might as well have not even been included given their utterly bizarre decision to not give the partner any items, upgrades, or progression whatsoever...in a 40+ hour RPG.
Next game being a gaas survival title means I'm out before its even announced though.

Combat is better than Souls and ER, at least.

Good, as long as the performance is good on whatever hardware you decide to play it on.
If you have a mid-high end PC you're good to go. If you're on console, I have no idea if they've fixed those versions yet.

Both. But mostly bad and uninspired.
More like $66million budget, including marketing
And of course they’ll only be able to keep 70% of that after royalties to Sony, Xbox and Steam.
Lords of the Fallen’s total budget exceeded $66 million, making it most expensive title in CI Games history | Game World Observer
Despite technical issues, Lords of the Fallen had a strong launch commercially. And publisher CI Games has now disclosed the game’s total production and marketing costs.

I'm sure they will make a tidy profit when all is said and done. In fact didnt they already announce a few weeks ago that the game is in profit?, i'm sure there was a thread about it on here.

LotF is a valiant homage to Dark Souls, but it has noticeable flaws. Imo they don't take too much away from the game, I still enjoyed my time with it very much.
Played it on ps5. Performance was good, aside from during a few invasions.

It was confirmed back at the en of November when the 900k milestone was announced that the Majority of the sales are on PS and possibly still remains.

Not with those same 5 copy/pasted enemies it isn't.

They are slowly progressing into becoming a AAA developer. It takes time.
Really? Lack of enemy variety is a huge bugbear of mine and was my biggest issue with the Nioh games. WO Long apparently also suffers from this. Souls games always introduce interesting new enemies as you progress through new areas.

Have an unopened copy on PS5 and happy to see the devs are seeing decent sales. Personally was waiting for post launch patches before giving it a go but now with UEVR releasing I may end up double dipping on PC and playing in VR. Same with Lies of P. Playing these in full VR seems too good to pass up!
One thing I've noticed regarding early impressions of the game, there seem to be some very vocal From fans who imo are a little hyperbolic and very very picky. They tend to hammer any and every souls like for not being souls enough; if they don't match up to their expectations and play style because i-frames are too long or too short or because 'x'-build is overpowered, yada yada. I'm a little more open and accepting of Souls likes being their own thing and am really looking forward to digging in and playing the game for what it is.

Yep, that was my biggest annoyance with Nioh. Even the Makai demons were the same. After 3 hours, you've seen 90% of the enemies.

Facing those 5 enemies is more fun than facing everyone in Souls/ER with that too retarded char.

Nah, it's not and that's a shit take.
