All my escapes are with the mortar backpack. I think is the best weapon! For melee attack i use barman shankers.
Cool
Thanks
What weapon were you using in the first clip?
Hattori's Katana
Actually unique and useful, thank you xD
Glad I could help
in DMC5 while Dante looks good they somewhat butchered Vergil's look
Exactly. Dante, Nero, V and Nico were the only good looking ones there.
A lot of his development is found in the Manga "Visions of V" it's a bummer it's tied to tertiary material but it is canon regardless. I like what they did with Vergil in this, him and Dante arguing like young kids at the end honestly makes sense when you think that due to what happened in the past, they became emotionally stunted and are now growing as the 2 brothers always should have. 3 is the more satisfying story but 5's has so much love for the franchise, there is *countless* nods. The argument of his face is fair but I don't think it's detrimental, more of an engine deal.
Oh, that's interesting. I have to take a look at it. Thanks for watching and for sharing this.
You lost the plot at the beginning... v and urizen are literally meant to be takin as being vergil.
I didn't lose the plot. What I meant by that line was, although V and Urizen are parts of Vergil, they're not him. The combination of these two characters, gives birth to a another one, completely different to both of them.
@OldSoulGames they are him and parts of him
If you say so! Thanks for watching.
@@jeess174 Hidrogen is a gas, oxigen is a gas, the combination of both, creates a liquid. The results are different from the sum of its parts mate.
Hades exhausted me with the endless dialogues, but the action was phenomenal. Look, I’m playing Redacted now! My ears have never felt better!
Yeah, Hades sure does have lots of dialogues. Personally I like that about it, but to each their own. Thanks for watching.
@ It’s definitely very well done, I’m just impatient! 😅
How to climb walls ?
Spider Rune. You can find it in Slumbering Sanctuary.
It’s better jades are more reserved than charms, in Hollow Knight the entire gameplay variation depends on charms and how you decide to play. For Nine Sols you have 3 different talisman attacks, 3 different arrows, jades and the talisman transmutations (not viable for bosses)
Also forgot to say, Jades are MINOR upgrades, skills are the MAJOR upgrades here. While in hollow knight you get the abilities like in Nine Sols but you don’t have anything even similar to skill points. So yeah, makes up for it, it looks like an issue only because you played hk before.
Nah, bro ain't criticizing the goat 💀
Well, the goat is the DMC3 Vergil, so no I'm not.
My main issue with Nine sols, the map and knowing where to go. I've beaten the first boss but I can't figure out where to go. The map should be explored like Hollow Knight... it's lacking info. Any tips?
You need to find a chipset and it will reveal all the details in that part of the map. Also, the map is zoomed out by default. You need to press a button and then it provides you with some details.
Nine Sols doesn't have Quirell.
I don’t have any issues with reading in game descriptions. In my opinion it’s great world building. When used with visual narrative building moments. In my opinion what I don’t like about this game is the difficulty, and the tedious amounts of platforming areas. It gets frustrating when you have to redo something over and over. What is frustrating about the difficulty is the fact that your basic attack feels so weak and even the talismans don’t feel like they do much compared to how quickly you can die to a boss in like three hits or less. It’s a great game but I had to switch to story mode once I got to lady ethereal. It’s a great was just really frustrating. And I have played all dark souls, hollow knight, Elden ring, bloodborne etc. To me this game is trying to be difficult for the sake of being difficult. And when you do defeat the boss it just doesn’t feel as rewarding. The sols add nothing to your characters performance. And there are no jades to add to your strength or health resistance. In my opinion that’s the whole point of powering up but when I’ve maxed out my level and still I don’t feel any better than when I started the game.
Good video!
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
IDK if Ori and the blind forest is a indie game, but, if so, that's my top3: Ori, Dead Cells and Hollow Knight. By the way, congrats for another excellent content.
Ori is indie and those are great choices. Thanks for watching.
Deepnest's layout generally feeling maze-like also makes things a lot worse. Wanting the exploration to end but being unable to put an end to it gives a heavy feel of desperation.
EXACTLY. Even Cornifer was hiding in a corner and shaking, and this guy literally makes the maps.
I don't like deepnest not because its scary but because it has too many traps😭
You know things are bad when they managed to even capture Zote The Almighty.
then why dose the hollow knight stab itself?
He was repenting for his brother's sins. So if you think about it, Hollow Knight is Jesus actually.
I have not watched yet. My only problems with the game... Iframes Goumang being left with the mind collar after the fight and never having anything more. (To me feels like they set up something since she was not killed so its immensely unsatisfying.) Last boss being way harder than anything before it to a ridiculous degree. Just left me feeling "Finally its fing done..." rather than satisfaction.
Kingdom edge was supposed to be east deepnest
*lower deepnest
That was the first negative for me in Nine Sols, too much dialogue, way too much.
Yeah but don’t spoiler every boss
The fact anyone can like Kingdom’s Edge when it has the Primal Aspids is diabolical.
That's the best thing about it. After you got overpowered, you'll go back and avenge them.
@OldSoulGames wdym? Those guys are harder than Pure Vessel and Nightmare Grimm together
@Xocopas It was a joke
@OldSoulGames ...that was also a joke...
@Xocopas Sike, my reply was another joke
*ahem* Blasphemous 1
What about it?
@OldSoulGames it's just quite creepy and unnerving, I said it mostly as a bit but do believe it's up there as one of the creepiest Metroidvanias
Blasphemous has one of the most horrific world buildings, yes. But I wouldn't call it frightening. Like, it won't scare you. It just bums you out with all that misery and suffering.
@OldSoulGames understandable
You can bind detonate to the same key as reload for the grenade launcher. And while I dont deny how bad it is , I got my first ever escape with it which is ironic.
it's a great weapon, especially with the cluster schematic. can melt whole rooms in seconds
That's genius. I have to give it another try then.
Bro [REDACTED] is rly cool actually.
It really is
Both were inspired by countless games from the 80s and 90s. Means nothing. They both do well at pulling from their influences but having their own vision.
After beating yingzhao I thought my parry skills were finally decent, but I still die to normal mobs all the time 😭😭😭 they don't telegraph as slow as he does and they are so small it's hard for me to see it
Just wait till you reach lady Ethereal and her endless phases. That's when you see the face of god and will become the fastest human in world😂
I don't think these are valid complaints. For starters it's a parry based game, its supposed to be hard, not let you off easy when you whiff. Also the example you used for this kinda annoys me, the one where you talisman attack into one of eigongs attacks, you completely misread her attack pattern and made the wrong call by walking into an attack and got hit by the attack. That is not bad game design. Secondly what do you mean the items you give to Shuanshuan have no effect on the game, this sets up Yi's relationship to Shuanshuan and a lot of the dialogue plays critical parts in Yi's character arc. Not everything needs cool gameplay mechanics, the purpose of these items was to progress yi's character, and it did that succesfully. Thirdly I think you underestimate the usefullness of some of the Jades, whilst I do agree with partially that they aren't as effective as in hollow knight it's worth noting that this game isn't hollow knight, in this game the core focus of your playstyle will be your spell style and maybe arrow selection with the jades supporting that. Also I don't think you understood some of the jades, harness force is highly useful as if you know an attack is coming you can start charging a charge attack to get a quick counter attack in. As for Mob quell I pretty much agree but I can see what they were aiming for here. As for the text thing I think a few of your examples are a bit cherrypicked, whilst text isn't always the best way to convey stuff to the audience, dialogue is key for character development and is done very effectivly most of the time i.e. dialogue between Yi and Heng. I also think that the data entries are scarce and short enough that they are fine and trying to get their messages across without using text would be quite complex as some of the lore (especially about the sojourners for example) needs it. I will concede that it is a bit overdone but not to the extent you say. Finally about the enemy types whilst zones do reuse enemies each zone does introduce new enemies which are a large amount of the enemies you are facing. Also worth noting that hollow knight is a bigger game then nine sols so of course it will have more total enemies, when you say that 40 hours through nine sols you are getting board of the enemies thats because it takes most people 30 ish hours to 100% the game so of course you are out of content and it's completly fine for a game to be short. TL:DR Whilst most of your points have some truth it's pretty apparent most of the examples and stuff here is cherry picked and overexaggerated. They are all still problems yes but definetly not as big as you make them out to be and I don't believe they impact the game that much.
💚💚💚
FFX is *SLEPT ON*
Parrying everytbing the final boss had made the fight ridiculously cinematic. Especially when dashing through each other using talismans
It's like those anime fight scenes when you can't understand what's happening, but you know it's fire.
I think I'm getting old. My brain can't handle anymore games with lots of particles, rays, sparkles, lots of things happening at the same time visually. I fumble with this.
Lots of games give a warning at the beginning that their gameplay contains multiple flashes of light and sparkles, and it can cause dizziness in some people. It has nothing to do with age. I personally get motion sick when fps keeps going up and down.
No, it's not a term, only you use it, retard.
1. You dont get i frames because the game is parry based, hollow knight isnt, so you need to get punished for missing parries on attack chains, also you get a wake up dash skill 2. Jades are not as diverse as charms because the games combat is more complex that hollow knights one, so every small change from the jade can foment a different playstile on your end The game is not perfect, no game is, but its a masterpice and those are not valid complains
Glory to Arstotzka
Trash take. Self-conflicting too talking about how you love it but also how its super dull combat etc. Make up your mind and stand up for your opinion
Cyberpunk 2077: Taught me that going out in a blaze of glory is better than a quiet life lived as a nobody. GTA 4: Taught me that not everyone gets a good ending. Elden Ring: Taught me that sometimes, sacrificing everything might be the right choice.
Great games. Also, W pfp
@OldSoulGames Thanks man, been rocking this pfp ever since I fell in love with the spiderverse movies.
Whoever compares this to HK is a full fledged m0r0n. HK is MILES better
I love how I'm receiving hate from both sides.😂 Some of you believe Nine Sols is trash and some of you think it's a devine god, to be worshipped. Shows how far you guys are willing to go to prove your point.

Thanks a ton!
lgbt hd tv woke ahh games flop😂
If that were the case, then why no one hated Cyberpunk and Baldur's Gate 3? People only hate bad games who hide behind these things.
@OldSoulGames 💯
Funny how some people stamp woke on anything now 😂 i mean if we take games back 7 years people wouldn't mind having female heroes and if we take old games to this era they would write paragraphs about how woke it is.Its the freakin era .Too much weak sensitive spoiled kids who have too much free time and spend it on crying in comments about a game they didn't play 😂
THANK YOU
So a bold woman with a man body isn’t woke sure if you say so im definitely gonna pay for it then, except i have pattern recognition and im definitely gonna play KCD2 and Japanese games and skip everything that’s so clearly woke
At which part did you hear me say it's not woke? This video was meant for Ciri's new looks in The Witcher 4 and the hate she received for it. As I said, Intergalactic is probably woke, but losing your mind over a 1 minute trailer is also stupid. Two things can be true at the same time. If y'all don't want to buy the game, what's all the backlash then? Just ignore it and the studios will receive the message. What are they gonna do? Keep Developing games that no one buys?
The chosen undead from ds1?
Ok, I need to up my game, make it more difficult. You guys are too smart.
What is des?
@@AyoSquareRoot i assume you mean ds1? I means dark souls 1
It's a lot more complicated then what you spoke about here but it is part of it.
Tried NFS Most Wanted but got bored so quickly. It was the same old, same old but different coat of paint and pissy filter. Went back to Burnout 3: Takedown. It's just too fun. Still would play them any other modern racer though. Forza Horizon is sterile and... safe. It's an ok game
God, I love the Burnout series. One other great franchise I forgot to mention was Midnight Club. Such fun games. Thanks for watching.
Womp womp
Wow, you just disarmed me with your sheer logic and reasoning
