I never minded the delayed attacks in the fight against Margit in Elden Ring, because there was always a distinct visual cue for when the attack was actually about to come at you. The frustrating thing about Lies of P is that almost none of the delayed attacks give you an even slightly intuitive indication of when the attack is coming, you almost have to just see it enough times to subconsciously recognize the timing for your perfect block.
The linearity of Lies of P has to do in part with the type of story it is. It's directly based on an actual story, and that does limit its freedom of direction. As far as the mechanics, the only issues I have is the lack of poise and the PB windows, and it really shows in the final boss
Cowboy trying so hard to not tell ruri you just need to get good for Lies of P lol. Ruri talking smack on advance and cowboy just like nope i did advance just fine lol
amen! the camera + perfect block still pushes you away isn't fully thought through either, yet we all appreciate games like this and i hope they continue to polish the game
Lies of P is very good. It Could be Excellent. But some attack animations are faster than the human reaction time. A youtuber measured the number of frames of somes atracks that were around 180 miliseconds, when the human reaction time is around 225 milisecond
As for the March release, there is no shot they don’t release MH6 before the 20th anniversary. Which is in March (the 11th iirc). Zero, absolutely zero chance they don’t have something planned for that. Unless something catastrophic happens that makes them push the launch back there is little evidence supporting them releasing it post the anniversary. Edit: For the Karlach romance I believe you have to complete the first “snu snu” before the end of act 2 for it to work. That’s just my experience because I’ve done 4 play throughs at this point (got the bad Karlach ending once because they hadn’t updated it yet) and the only time I’ve been able to complete her romance is if you get the first milestone before going to the final fight of act 2. It’s safer to do it (pun) in act 1 though.
Remnant 2 is my game of the year... I didn't do all the bosses. Couldn't imagine thinking a game is the best release of the year but not liking it enough to complete it.
You guys are crazy to hate on Annihilation, Ruri, if you play through Remnant 2 again, especially on apocalypse, you will learn to love that boss, it's extremely well designed
Ya don't worry about act 3. It's not as buggy as launch and it's still great. The combat is still amazing, the choices, the characters. Not sure how it ruined it for Ruri. This is legit one of the most impressive games ever, maybe last time it was Elden Ring. You can't let small things like small story choices ruin it for you.
They will never do balance patches for lies of p. They might fix some bugs and stuff, but we are most likely stuck with the current sandbox. They had so much feedback from the demo and they didn't change basically anything
@@darklordbob1774 yeah.... I'm glad they are doing balance patches, but it's funny the one single thing EVERYONE agreed on wasn't addressed lol. I don't think the bosses needed to be nerfed. I think adjusting the parry window would make killing those tough bosses much more fun
lords of the fallen is my most anticipated game of the year, i hope it lives up to the hype if not ill be very dissapointed cause i pass on lies of p for it. btw good podcast, i enjoyed it
@@randomnobody9229 I think both are good but not sure how Wolong is terrible. It's probably after Sekiro 2nd best game with a parry mechanic and The Lu Bu boss fight is one of the best in Soulslike imo. As for Lies of P I played the demo few months ago, I think the atmosphere is amazing and combat was good. I have it installed but haven't had time to play it since im still trying to finish Baldurs Gate 3.
I play the demo for lies of P so i knew i had to get it and for Lords of the Fallen i passed on it cause the first game was trash so i waiting on reviews and even with the okay reviews that are put now its not worth $70
Pretty sure Cowboy didn't get to romance Karlach because of the mod the gave him double the spell slots. The game is paced in such a way that lots of stuff happens during rests. If he rested less then these events wouldn't trigger.
Lies of P is unironically my game of the year. I love the perfect guard mechanic. Figuring out the timing is genuinely fun and feels like the game's main puzzle. The weapons are super unique and interesting, and the enemies are challenging and creative. And while bigger weapons "suffer" from no hyper armor or poise, the best way to use them is proper spacing, and I've always been able to figure out that spacing/when to space myself even if it seemed impossible at first. I'll also personally never understand why a game being linear is seen as a negative. I love open world games for their freedom, and I love linear games for their perfectly crafted levels. I totally understand why this game isn't for everyone, but I heavily disagree with a lot of the arguments put against it. I think the main issue is that people are trying to play a Souls game when this is Lies of P. Anyhow, I do personally think this is by far the best soulslike, and within fromsoft's lineup, this beats DS1-3 for me. I still think Elden Ring is a better game, and I hope to one day play Bloodborne, but I really love Lies of P, and hope to see more soulslike games from the devs.
It's a bit of a hot take but I also think Lies of P not only competes with some of From's games but beats a few of them. For me it's definitely better than DS2 and Elden Ring and rests at around the same echelon as Dark Souls 3 does for me being solidly midtier in the From lineup.
Dude I'm STILL hooked on remnant.. i'm making shitty low budget build videos, too, hoping to pop off on youtube (lol). I played some lies of P (sick game) and had to stop to scratch my remnant itch real quick bc it's so good. The last boss of remnant 2 is dope, but I get the frustration. Lies of P has some finicky combat shit, too, though..
I don’t think the perfect guard is *too* tight, the issue is that you have to learn so many different enemy movesets and they all have numerous attacks with different timings, tons of delayed attacks, multiple different fury attacks with delayed timings. If the attacks were more intuitive like Sekiro bosses then it wouldn’t be bad, but the enemy and boss attacks are what make it so difficult. It is definitely doable to perfect block though once you learn the moveset of enemies and bosses and I don’t think it’s necessarily too tight. The dodge is trash though and when you fight the secret boss his second phase is just way too fast for your shitty dodge
My first run, I played a Bard like Ruri did. I had a great time but I also struggled quite a bit. I started a playthrough afterwards, doing different things but I started a Barbarian. I indulged in Mind Flayer powers this time. It's like night and day. I'm smoking the shit out of every combat situation now. I feel that the game really just rewards you for killing stuff as fast as possible. Crowd control is kinda garbage because enemies just save every single time. Concentration sucks.
Nah, they just really nerfed cc in bg3, things that would last 10 turns is now lasting 2 turns. But cc spells that don't care about that like hunger of Hadar is still broken af
War Caster, more Constitution, better positioning. CC is absolutely busted on Bard. Just focus on cc and debuffs on Bard and let the rest of the party deal with the damage, you're meant to speed up the killing. Dissonant Whispers is a Frighten that doesn't need concentration, Sleep is guaranteed cc that's based on hp values with no concentration, Hypnotic Pattern will usually guarantee at least half of the horde won't act, Glyph of Warding can also provide cc or ridiculous damage if you really need it. Unfortunately the class requires a lot of trial and error, a ton of respecs, because a lot of the spells are pretty useless in most situation even if on paper they sound good. Bard feels really bad in combat until you understand the niche role it's meant to perform.
Bard is amazing, a great duelist with excellent defense (usually the last to die in my party if anything) with cc and if you multiclass can actually hit really hard too.
3-4 months would be short for traditional marketing. But I think some companies are realizing that encouraging too much hype over too long a period can be detrimental. We live in a post cyberpunk and marketing world after all.
Wait, so motivity/advance combination isnt viable? That's what i was doing lol. I agree with what u guys said, and also i hate that theres no getup roll or animation cancelling with blocking or parrying
No it absolutely is viable and better than just one or the other, it just isn’t required is what they were saying. You tend to get the most benefit out of investing in more than one stat, quality weapons gain more damage than only investing into one stat. Because the soft caps are so low that’s how you eek out more damage by investing into two stats. With that said it’s not really viable in NG unless you make some significant sacrifices, you have to invest a lot into capacity and health if you want any chance at surviving, and enemies drop so little ergo that you’re not going to be able to get a complete quality build probably until NG+ unless you spend hours farming ergo
Remnant 2 is forsure my game of the year. Im not a gamer so being able to complete a game 100% has been so fun. I finished my Apocalypse Run and my Hardcore Run😎💯🫡 Good luck finishing yours man!
Working on my hardcore vet run myself. The game is so fucking good. I made some shitty low budget build videos and that's keeping me going too. Hardcore feels like binding of isaac but 3rd person shooter
Ayoooo so much hate for Astarion haha. I do get it though, he really starts as full anti-good like Cowboy said but later on his character gets sooo much better if you help him go down a better path. And imo he had one of the best story endings out of all the companions, it felt final and satisfying (the good one that is, if you choose the bad one, well yeah...). EDIT: Also the fucked up shit he did, he literally couldnt refuse or it would be endless torment for him.
I'll admit Rurikhan, I haven't seen or gotten any notifications of you playing Armored Core 6. The only videos about AC6 of yours that I've seen is your reviews talking about it or watching the new information drops before the game released.
Not only do I consider Lies of P the best non-From soulslike game, I actually like it more than Elden Ring and definitely more than Dark Souls 2. The open world was too difficult to balance and ER felt either too hard or too easy. It never felt right to me like From's previous titles did. My single complaint about Lies of P so far is they borrowed the heavy attack delays From started using. Enemies holding their attacks to screw with parry timing is annoying but that's also very common in From titles now too unfortunately. It's equal to From's mid tier Souls titles. I say this as someone who has been playing these games since Demon's Souls. Regardless of where someone rates Lies of P though I'm glad this subgenre is starting to get good games from other studios. This is my favorite form of modern action game and the more the merrier.
I agree, I also thouroughly enjoyed Lies of P, even more than Elden Ring, and yeah the game often feels a bit cheap in its encounter design, but once It "clicks", which it did for me around the halfway mark, near the King of Puppets/Romeo boss fight, its combat systems just feel incredibly good and polished, I like how everyone keep saying that all You have to do is parry, whereas my approach was to keep a healthy balance of both dodging, parrying, blocking and strafing and it all felt viable and fun, it was really easy to get into the "flow" space with this game for me personally.
Ruri you talk perfect english I thiught you were caucasian lol...but now that you pointed it out i can hear hints of the accent when you pronounce certain words.
Not understanding people crying about lies of p, getting a perfect parry damages enemy weapons if it was as easy to get as it is in Sekiro that would make the game a joke
Armored Core 6 was my favorite game from this year. I am very bias when I all I wanted was Elden Ring DLC all year. Fromsoftware simp is living good still.
Dont get me wrong its no Dark souls roll but its so funny he keeps rolling when not locked on to anything as proof that it doesnt do anything, when the locked on version of the roll is what your supposed to use and gets you out of most attacks@@nickm413
I played the game "Slightly Heavy" the entire time and I dodged most attacks in the game because I wasnt too good at parry. You can play the game in a more bloodborne style if you want Its not as close to Sekiro as people try and make it look@@charlesqbanks
Enjoying P in parts. I don’t mind the linear stuff, I do find the parry annoying and some of the random mini bosses are occasionally op so…running is the option. Overall, so far the design and overall ambience is keeping me playing. Starfield…not for me. Uninstalled
For the Starfield stuff. To me it feels like Bethesda is just in a little bubble, they've been completely ignoring the rest of the industry just doing their own thing for so long. So little stuff like shop keeps aren't done for any good reason anymore, they just go oh that's how it's been since Daggerfall of course they only have a couple thousand gold. Same thing with FOV, gamma controls, HDR.
Lies of P might take my goty ngl. I fell off BG3 after 60 hours. I liked what i played but it just dragged and dragged until i felt like id had enough.
It 100% is the best non Fromsoft Souls game lol. And it's not close really. It used to be Nioh 2 imo but Lies of P crushes that. And I had 0 issues with the dodge lol. And trust me, try the wrench head on the baton handle, you're welcome. Also the wrench head on the glaive handle is great and has better reach then the baton handle.
The parry window isn't actually THAT tight. It's certainly tighter than sekiro but that's not what actually makes it hard. look up any boss and check their attacks, most of them go like this: Wind up (raising arm or whatever) > Hold/delay > attack (bringing down weapon) the issue is that the actual ATTACK part is absurdly fast, I'm talking sub 10 frames which is beyond the limit of human reaction time, so the way to ACTUALLY perfect guard is to MEMORIZE how long the DELAY is, which is less skill and more brute memorization. Fromsoft does it COMPLETLY differently, you are almost NEVER required to memorize how long the DELAY is, the DELAY is meant to PUNISH panicking, the attack part where the boss lowers their weapon MUST be reactable, otherwise, it's plain bullshit. For instance, margit hold his cane up for a VARYING amount of time, sometimes 0.2sec, sometimes almost 2 seconds, the challenge there isn't to predict when he's going to attack, it is to NOT PANIC and wait for the attack to come your way. Of course there are exceptions but it only takes 2 bullshit attacks in a boss's move set to ruin the fight.
I’m playing on PS5 and loving Lies of P… I have no idea what you are talking about with the dodge. You have to be more careful about when you roll tho because there is a cooldown before being able to roll again. It doesn’t have that comical roll infinity thing like Elden Ring.
Too many games on the deck to waste time on starfield, it is a good game but there are better games coming, so I will probably play it later after it gets some updates and when I have time.
Elden ring and Lies of P suffer from the same thing: re weapons. They provide all these weapons but none of the tools necessary to make more than 2 of them actually useful. Worst part of their game design
I soooo get what was said about console commands. It might be cheating, but I’m willing to bet my 70 hours were better than yours, cuz I did exactly what I wanted and didn’t have to needlessly grind for it
About Lies of P, how dare a small studio make a very very good game? Let's bring them down a bit... P.S Not a critique necessarily on your video, just the overall reviews out there
Bro it has nothing to do with that. Small company or not it’s totally valid to criticize a game when it deserves it. The game needs major tweaking but it’s still good overapl
Cowboy’s baseball analogy is terrible. You don’t go to a baseball game and yell baseball sucks because that’s ridiculous and isn’t equatable to someone coming into his public stream and saying a game he is playing is bad. They aren’t saying video games are bad, they’re saying that team sucks. When it becomes a cult of positivity especially when sponsored content is involved, it becomes distasteful and invites unnecessary speculation about sincerity. People are paying you to watch you play games, engage with their views or play by yourself as long as it’s cordially presented enough.
how ironic that you shit on starfield weight limit, merchant limit. and buch more. Straight up negativitiy for 20mins. And then you say you should not insult the game and you ban players saying the same things. Dont interract with the things you dont like...except if it makes you money i guess? XD
The difference is that the people coming into the stream aren’t criticising the weight system or vendors not having money, because when they do, I’ll agree with them. Hell even people who criticised the space combat I engaged with to talk about why I disagree. The problem is people coming in just saying “game is ass, why are you playing this” and I’ll ask them why and their answer is “2/10 game terrible” and they never even played it. And then they just keep repeating that without any real reason or criticism.
I never minded the delayed attacks in the fight against Margit in Elden Ring, because there was always a distinct visual cue for when the attack was actually about to come at you. The frustrating thing about Lies of P is that almost none of the delayed attacks give you an even slightly intuitive indication of when the attack is coming, you almost have to just see it enough times to subconsciously recognize the timing for your perfect block.
just don't try to parry those, either get out of the way or just block it
33:00 there's a skill at P organ to recover fable on death. Which is another problem with the game, gating stuff behind this system.
One of the first skills I got.
The linearity of Lies of P has to do in part with the type of story it is. It's directly based on an actual story, and that does limit its freedom of direction. As far as the mechanics, the only issues I have is the lack of poise and the PB windows, and it really shows in the final boss
Booster glaive blade with the dancers greatsword handle. Chefs kiss
Cowboy trying so hard to not tell ruri you just need to get good for Lies of P lol. Ruri talking smack on advance and cowboy just like nope i did advance just fine lol
I wonder if they patched the parry window. I was 2 months late on the game, and Parry seems fine to me.
Really enjoyed this episode
I started following because cowboy algorythm brought me to you. Did not knew you are portuguese, gosto muito dos teus vídeos 😊
Lies of P is a fantastic game finished my playthrough today. The strict parrying is seriously flawed and the delayed/sped up animations didn't help.
amen! the camera + perfect block still pushes you away isn't fully thought through either, yet we all appreciate games like this and i hope they continue to polish the game
Lies of P is very good. It Could be Excellent. But some attack animations are faster than the human reaction time. A youtuber measured the number of frames of somes atracks that were around 180 miliseconds, when the human reaction time is around 225 milisecond
As for the March release, there is no shot they don’t release MH6 before the 20th anniversary. Which is in March (the 11th iirc).
Zero, absolutely zero chance they don’t have something planned for that.
Unless something catastrophic happens that makes them push the launch back there is little evidence supporting them releasing it post the anniversary.
Edit: For the Karlach romance I believe you have to complete the first “snu snu” before the end of act 2 for it to work. That’s just my experience because I’ve done 4 play throughs at this point (got the bad Karlach ending once because they hadn’t updated it yet) and the only time I’ve been able to complete her romance is if you get the first milestone before going to the final fight of act 2. It’s safer to do it (pun) in act 1 though.

barbarian intimidation options in BG3 were the absolute highlight i was always laughing.
armored core 6 and life of p have been such amazing surprises this year!! but baldurs gate does trump it all atm
As someone whose played 50 hours and about to finally start act 2, it’s def Baldurs Gate for me
Ya don't worry about act 3. It's not as buggy as launch and it's still great. The combat is still amazing, the choices, the characters. Not sure how it ruined it for Ruri. This is legit one of the most impressive games ever, maybe last time it was Elden Ring. You can't let small things like small story choices ruin it for you.
Dodge is fine. You can quick step through attacks easily just like you can in bloodborne

Oh, so the answer to the dodge rolling being bad for 90 percent of builds is to just flood 1 stat like DS2? Great balancing, devs.
I played the game "Slightly Heavy" the entire time and I dodged most attacks in the game because I wasnt too good at parry. You can play the game in a more bloodborne style if you want Its not as close to Sekiro as people try and make it look@@charlesqbanks
The unannounced Capcom game will be mega man 12
Enjoying P in parts. I don’t mind the linear stuff, I do find the parry annoying and some of the random mini bosses are occasionally op so…running is the option. Overall, so far the design and overall ambience is keeping me playing. Starfield…not for me. Uninstalled
AC6 is my personal also
For the Starfield stuff. To me it feels like Bethesda is just in a little bubble, they've been completely ignoring the rest of the industry just doing their own thing for so long. So little stuff like shop keeps aren't done for any good reason anymore, they just go oh that's how it's been since Daggerfall of course they only have a couple thousand gold. Same thing with FOV, gamma controls, HDR.
Cowboy is badass enough to were Baki tee ❤u cowboy
Older kids require more attention, huh? Once I understood the dodge, get the upgrade, stay lightweight it makes bosses so easy.
That's alot to do just to have what every other Souls game has at the start.
This is kinda weird that they talk smack about remnant 2 final boss, cuz that boss is really good lmao. Most people i seen love the boss not hate.
I like lies of p a lot. I didn’t have the problems he’s talking about. I l enjoyed lies of p way more than lords of the fallen for some reason.
Lies of P might take my goty ngl. I fell off BG3 after 60 hours. I liked what i played but it just dragged and dragged until i felt like id had enough.
"im too old for English" 😂
Marvel vs Capcom 2 the remake edition! With updated graphics and a balance patch!!! Thats the game Capcom will release to sell millions!
Fightincowboy: “the best indie souls like” proceeds to describe the game’s garbage mechanics for the duration.
Why the fuck are there cash limits in Starfield, shouldn't all currency be digital at that point?
Please show me where the english hurt you Ruri haha
Join us and one day you shall have ship blueprints lol
critical kills in skyrim is just RNG and i hate it
It 100% is the best non Fromsoft Souls game lol. And it's not close really. It used to be Nioh 2 imo but Lies of P crushes that. And I had 0 issues with the dodge lol. And trust me, try the wrench head on the baton handle, you're welcome. Also the wrench head on the glaive handle is great and has better reach then the baton handle.
The parry window isn't actually THAT tight. It's certainly tighter than sekiro but that's not what actually makes it hard. look up any boss and check their attacks, most of them go like this:
Wind up (raising arm or whatever) > Hold/delay > attack (bringing down weapon)
the issue is that the actual ATTACK part is absurdly fast, I'm talking sub 10 frames which is beyond the limit of human reaction time, so the way to ACTUALLY perfect guard is to MEMORIZE how long the DELAY is, which is less skill and more brute memorization.
Fromsoft does it COMPLETLY differently, you are almost NEVER required to memorize how long the DELAY is, the DELAY is meant to PUNISH panicking, the attack part where the boss lowers their weapon MUST be reactable, otherwise, it's plain bullshit. For instance, margit hold his cane up for a VARYING amount of time, sometimes 0.2sec, sometimes almost 2 seconds, the challenge there isn't to predict when he's going to attack, it is to NOT PANIC and wait for the attack to come your way.
Of course there are exceptions but it only takes 2 bullshit attacks in a boss's move set to ruin the fight.
Lies of P is great ...BUT one thing the main thing with th egame is perfect parry but there is very little reward for doing it!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats false, use your p organ buffs
Remenant 2 is my GOTY. If you complain about the final boss, you are not a true gamer
I’m playing on PS5 and loving Lies of P… I have no idea what you are talking about with the dodge. You have to be more careful about when you roll tho because there is a cooldown before being able to roll again. It doesn’t have that comical roll infinity thing like Elden Ring.
👋
Too many games on the deck to waste time on starfield, it is a good game but there are better games coming, so I will probably play it later after it gets some updates and when I have time.
Elden ring and Lies of P suffer from the same thing: re weapons. They provide all these weapons but none of the tools necessary to make more than 2 of them actually useful. Worst part of their game design
I feel like the handle being the move set makes that way more bearable
you can buy smithing stones with bell bearings, there are also plenty of ancient dragon smithing stones
I soooo get what was said about console commands. It might be cheating, but I’m willing to bet my 70 hours were better than yours, cuz I did exactly what I wanted and didn’t have to needlessly grind for it
Does anyone play Bethesda games for combat? It's their huge, imaginative worlds that you can get lost in that make it special
About Lies of P, how dare a small studio make a very very good game? Let's bring them down a bit...
P.S Not a critique necessarily on your video, just the overall reviews out there
Bro it has nothing to do with that. Small company or not it’s totally valid to criticize a game when it deserves it. The game needs major tweaking but it’s still good overapl
What major does it need?@@Ti_Fire
English is literally killing this guy lol

There's nothing worse on a podcast than a kind of grumpy stoic intellectual know it all nerd.
Cowboy’s baseball analogy is terrible. You don’t go to a baseball game and yell baseball sucks because that’s ridiculous and isn’t equatable to someone coming into his public stream and saying a game he is playing is bad. They aren’t saying video games are bad, they’re saying that team sucks.
When it becomes a cult of positivity especially when sponsored content is involved, it becomes distasteful and invites unnecessary speculation about sincerity.
People are paying you to watch you play games, engage with their views or play by yourself as long as it’s cordially presented enough.
@jakeinfactsaid8637 when it comes to gaming people love weirdly erronious analogies like this
how ironic that you shit on starfield weight limit, merchant limit. and buch more. Straight up negativitiy for 20mins. And then you say you should not insult the game and you ban players saying the same things. Dont interract with the things you dont like...except if it makes you money i guess? XD
The difference is that the people coming into the stream aren’t criticising the weight system or vendors not having money, because when they do, I’ll agree with them. Hell even people who criticised the space combat I engaged with to talk about why I disagree. The problem is people coming in just saying “game is ass, why are you playing this” and I’ll ask them why and their answer is “2/10 game terrible” and they never even played it. And then they just keep repeating that without any real reason or criticism.
