Phantom Blade Zero surpasses 430,000 concurrent players on Steam
Played some Phantom Blade Zero last night. Early impressions are that I'm really amazed by a developer from China managing to make an action game from the Eastern bloc. Stylish, cool, stilted, weird, got caught in the environment, the camera broke, story is nonsense. I'm waiting for patches.
Patrick Boivin, main character of the novel Waiting for Patches (understandable)
In terms of difficulty and combat feel, how does it compare to Onimusha?
Hopefully it will be at least partially patched up by the time of the physical release.
so galactic racer is back on the menu? Also the list of waiting for patches annoyingly grows
Is the story nonsense in an entertaining way or is it just an afterthought?
This the 2nd post saying this about the story im really intrigued how a story can be nonsense from the jump
As much as I've enjoyed the souls genre, it's crazy to see people disliking Phantom Blade Zero for NOT being as hard or challenging as those games... when that was never their intention. As much as that genre had paved the way for it, they don't all need to be the same experience again and again.
And this shoulnd't HAVE to be said but just in case, true criticisms and issues are fun to talk about, but the internet, it has this way of, well you all know, and most the time it's NOT that sort of discussion or vibe whatsoever lol
People will literally never be happy lolol
Agreed, From's Souls games are some of my absolute favourites, but not everything has to be a Soulslike. Glad stuff like Onimusha and Phantom Blade Zero are doing their own things 👌🏻
I feel like people just love to complain and have constant misery.
Yeah, I really play both kinds. I don't want EVERYTHING to be hard af, sometimes a more casual soulslike suits the mood. I suppose devs should just give options to reach the most people. Of course some hardcore soulslike fans are against that too, but I don't think there's anything wrong with choice
PBZ was definitely intended to be ninja gaiden/DMC coded but weirdly everyone presumes dark looking game and has parry must be a soulslike. Black myth wukong was not a soulslike lol it was difficult at times but played more like an generic action, GoW.
