Hell yeah, it was a good call restarting. That was word the first game should have been. I should go back and get the other endings.
Ooh, time to play the first two games!
Jokes aside:
Nobody should ever play the first Lords of the Fallen. Probably one of the worst non-indie Souls games (and I played Code Vein...) with mediocre world building and even worse boss fights. Iron Pineapple has a great video where he basically tears into it and points out why it is bad.
I don't think you even can play it anymore, can you?
Still available for purchase on steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/265300/Lords_Of_The_Fallen_2014/ and I don't recall any online mechanics... at all.
Ah, fair enough, suppose I could have checked that myself. For some reason I thought I remembered the old version being delisted and replaced. Suppose I'm just going crazy.
Thanks! I'll watch the video.
I really liked the mechanics of the "first" game.
It felt like most non-fromsoft clones in terms of the map, though. No one else manages the feel of opening up the map like they do. Elden Ring is much more focused on the open world, so it approaches the use of space differently, but the way you can look back over some areas and see what you just spent hours battling through gives a similar feel of intentionality to the map design.
Lords of the Fallen not giving that feel is part of why I didn't spend as much time with it as the combat quality would imply.
