Surprised to hear all the dislike for Lies of P. I'm absolutely loving it and can't put it down

It’s still got that addictive souls formula. It’s scratching that itch.

So 3 hours into Lies of P and the same stuff I criticized about the shown gameplay footage is still there. Enemy mobs are in lots of cheap places. Hey, look an enemy I can backstab! Nope cause there's a hidden out of sight enemy around the corner you can't see. Enemies on rooftops throwing crap at you. Enemies hanging off a ledge to jump up. I went around a corner and saw a item on the end of a plank. But guess what! An enemy above, behind and slightly out of sight that throws crap at you. It's very similar to the stuff I don't like about Dark Souls 2. There are mini bosses who are sponges and have the most janky movements.
Steelrising was way better than this and was way less talked about on release. It's like people are desperate for another Souls like and are forcing themselves to like it..... I don't think I'm gonna continue with this one.

I'm probably in the last 1/4th of the game and personally have not had any difficulties with enemy mobs or blindside flanks. It helps to be methodical with your advancing. I've found Lies of P to be much more linear than other Souls games and not nearly as hard. Certainly don't feel like I'm forcing myself to like it, but to each their own

I'm slowly going through Lies of P, not a ton of time now, but I'm loving it. Just beat the donkey head dude. His attack patterns were a little hard to block but the flow was nice

Aw damnit, just got notification that Lords of Fallen CE ships next week. Debate if I should cancel but if the game is great, will be bummed not to have the CE. The little I've looked at it, seems pretty damn solid.
I was on the verge of a third DS3 run, but gonna hold out to see how this is. Then there's Lies of P too. Gah, when will Spiderman 2 have time?

Started lies of p. Has my interest. Just got to first boss and had my first death (killed him on round 2).
Love the dummy to test attacks on, being able to pick up your ergo outside of boss fight, and ability to refill a potion. Nice changes from Souls games.
Combat feels a bit blan so far but only assuming this gets better.

I’m not sure why they decided to gate most of the best skills with 4 main bosses. But give it a bit to get going. The first 3 bosses or so are pretty rough because you’re very bare bones combat wise. It gets much better and varied.

So, I'm really bad at Armored Core VI. I'm like 2 hours in and still can't quite beat the tutorial boss. It is (not that I'm surprised) completely different from Elden Ring. I actually appreciate the quicker movement options, but dodging bombs and bullets is much trickier in some ways than dodging swords, etc.

Returnal was like that for me. I liked it, but I sucked at dodging the projectiles.

Try to get up in his face with your rush and melee occasionally. Get hits in while you’re hovering and falling then get behind the buildings. Repeat.

Early game that melee is devastating. I moved away from it pretty fast but if you can handle the motion and don’t get disoriented it’s good.

Lies of P is pretty solid so far. Love how you can reassemble weapons but so far the starting dex (rapier) is still winning for me.
About to take on Puppet of the Future.
Hope I can knock this out before Lords of Fallen.

Hide behind a building during the missiles, then go melee. Took me a few tries till I realized this and it cake afterwards.

12 hours into Lies of P - it's better than anticipated. I finally moved away from the starting Rapier to a boss ergo weapon - Etiqutte. Hard to say if it was worth as If I kept upgrading my original (was only at +3), I think it would hit harder - even though I used a crank to get Etiqutte to S rank. Perhaps I just need to start focusing more stats into Technique. May need to stop and find a farming spot at some point, but haven't yet.
All in all, good game though. It's relatively easy, which is nice for time consumption, but a bummer from a challenge side. Trying to play completely blind - minus kinda peaking at head for weapons to determine when/if to upgrade current.

The special weapons outclass the normals pretty substantially imo. The scythe is nuts.
