Apocalyptic mode is a pain because most enemies can kill you in two hits but mostly because the dodge is clunky and has a small range without any IF. You often dodge into the combo and you get hit. Very frustrating. 22 minutes ago, Void said: that worries me Yeah if this game is more akin to the Souls series in terms of gameplay then I'm more than likely giving this game a hard miss. I enjoyed the first 2 games very much in terms of gameplay. Question for @Moiledieu. What is the combat button setup? Is it for normal attacks or is it . If it's the latter are the buttons able to be remapped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the latter are the buttons able to be remapped? i agree, that is the one aspect that kept me from enjoying Souls games. The sluggish and clunky controls kept them from being FUN. I am hoping it plays more akin to Lament of Innocence or Lords of Shadows than a Souls game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am saying yet because I am playing without the Day One patch as the game is not officially out. You also have to know that there are no dungeons anymore and thus no puzzles to solve. You have no map anymore so you have to remember everything which is a little hard for a Metroidvania game. Vulgrim acts as merchant as much as bonfire. When you die, you lose your souls that you have to get back where you passed away. There is no skill tree anymore, just stats to invest souls in but only 3 stats. Your weapons can be upgraded with fragments, shards, chunck of adamantine up to +10. You have some sort of Estus flasks that you can improve and increase their number .... I think you get the point. ^^ Edited November 26, 2018 by Moiledieu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on doing first playthrough on normal and NG+ on Apocalyptic. For Whom the Bell Tolls seems to be missable don't know about the other trophies.

Darksiders was more of an edgy Zelda, it should have stayed that way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quink666 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) This game i a true button mash game. No light/heavy attack just spam and dodge, no boss checkpoints at the very start of the fight forcing you to run several minutes to fight the boss again, tons of glitches and some of them game breaking... what a fucking joke. Thanks for butchering the Darksiders series. Avoid this game and save your money for something worth while.

GamingWithAbyss1 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Can you free roam after you complete the story? Or do you need to do everything that needs to be done before that last fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you time your presses right, you do a move that throws the enemies into the air, meaning they cant attack. You can also hold the button for an AoE attack or a charged attack for secondary weapons. Not really fair to call this a button masher unless you're on lower difficulties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelotedeneige Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Be careful with the fight with Abraxis because after killing me, he is not appearing anymore. I don't know if this is the game breaking bug PS4 Trophies talked about but there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this is the game breaking bug PS4 Trophies talked about but there is one. I never mentioned this particular bug but this one happened to me as well My original bug was fixed in 1.02 after I had a conversation and sent them a video of it. For this bug, I went back to the title screen or closed the app (I forget which I did) and went back into the game and it was fine.

Pelotedeneige Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Yeah I managed to get back on my feet but I was really scared my save would be ruined. I quit to the main menu when standing in front of the arena and the boss was there after reloading. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
