  • Why Lords of the Fallen 2023 Was a Huge Flop
    Lords of the Fallen 2023 is a game that was deemed to be a "Dark Souls 4.5" by the creative director and it hasn't done very well having mixed reviews and a small player base still complaining about performance issues despite being on sale with a 50% discount and recently releasing a major update taking the game to version 1.5 that was supposed to fix those issues.
    The game isn't awful by any means and it sold over a million copies within 10 days but considering it's been on sale 5 times in 7 months for as big as a 50% discount and the fact it lost over 50% of its Steam players only 10 days after launch I consider Lords of the Fallen 2023 to be a huge flop. Let me know your thoughts about the game in the comments :D
    Thank you to the devs, the publishers and Lurkit for the key to play :D

    A big reason for Lords of the Fallen 2023's performance issues are the fact it was ported from UE4 to a fairly early version of UE5, before more recent versions of it received updates from Epic Games to make it run a lot better on less powerful hardware, and this is compounded by the fact the current generation of graphics cards are lacking in power for what they should be.
    I think Lords of the Fallen 2023 is actually a really good game, not near-perfect like Elden Ring is, but I think it's a very respectable accomplishment for a first attempt at the genre by Hexworks.

    I think we might be a bit careful using terms like "flop" to describe this game.
    I dabble in videogame developer/publisher financial investing and CI games have just posted their best financial results ever, profits are up 400% over their previous best year, and they attribute 83% percent of this to the success this game. Essentially it's a good investment to ride the wave of the sequel.
    Whilst I appreciate your use of the term flop however might be in reference to your own enjoyment of the game however.
    Anecdotally, I really loved this game and will be onboard for the dlc. Everyone can have their own opinion but for me there are not enough dark souls games and we won't be getting more, so this really scratched the itch for me.
    I'd give it 8.5.

      The problem with Bethesda is they are lazy, and they know it.
      They always release their games a mess because they know modders will always (eventually!!) fix their games.
      If not for modders Bethesda would not be in business.
      They also need to rework their engine. Even creation engine two is well behind like likes of Unreal engine 5 and others, and that's with the recent update of creation engine.

    Bought this game at launch, it was so buggy and nearly unplayable in co op on ps5. With a few updates and patches that performance got better but never quite was 100% fluent and still isn't when using cross play. Those issues aside, my main issue with this game never was the performance as im sadly use to that by now. The big issue for me is that strength and dexterity weapons get brushed to the side for radiance and inferno scaling weapons. I have LOADS of weapons after beating the game and literally use 3 of them for my build (str/dex), one being a crossbow. If the devs didnt focus so much on casting i would feel more inclined to finish my NG+ run.

    This game got the short end of the stick in a culture of internet hyperbole, unfortunately. It's a legitimately unique take on the Souls-Like formula. And as someone who is heavily invested in this genre, and has been since the original Demon's Souls PS3 release - This game is actually surprisingly great, even if rough around the edges.
    But in today's world if your initial launch is rough then it's gonna be rough to come back from it. Doubly so in a genre such as this, where it's unforgiving to new players and generally too difficult and inaccessible to the mainstream. (It's still a miracle to me that Elden Ring broke the mainstream, it deserves it, but I'm still surprised this happened as a long-time veteran of the genre.) This game was never going to do well if it didn't take off initially. And it didn't.
    Unfortunate because outside of the rough edges, there a lot to really enjoy here if you're into the genre. Some unique ideas that were well implemented. For genre fans, if they're willing to give it a fair shake there's a decent chance they'll find something to enjoy here. That said, it has a LOT of complexities that even the FromSoft Souls games don't have. And that in itself is going to even further turn off a more casual player.
    Is it a Dark Souls 4.5? Sort of. The atmosphere is there, the ambition is there. The base bones of the game are there. But it was honestly NEVER going to live up to that expectation. That said, I think that you're SEVERELY downplaying the gameplay modifiers that were added. If you're into this game, some of those are REALLY cool. And they serve to significantly expand replayability. They're there less so to make the game easier, but more so for the opposite effect. And the Umbral system's complexities do indeed set it aside from it's peers. And the layers to it are pretty deep. This is a system that I'd love to see again in other games too. I think it's when you begin to understand the Umbral side of the game that if you're going to like this game, that's where it's going to click.
    In all honesty most of the other complaints you listed gameplay wise are kind of all common elements of this entire genre.

    My biggest issue with this game was its 'game feel' to it - especially its combat, movement, and animations in general. It's one helluva looker (seriously, the game looks STUNNING!), I love the world and how truly big & interconnected it is, I dig the drip (which is really nice ngl), but oh man, the floaty af combat puts me off of it so much. People say shti about OG LoTF combat, and some of it IS true, but the combat there FELT SO GOOD, it felt weighty & impactful despite the slow pace, and all the jank. Here the combat is slidy, lacking any sense of impact and/or momentum, and to me it's a total disaster if the combat just doesn't FEEL right in a combat-centered game like any Soulslike game truly is at its core. And the movement, especially the running animation... I can't even tell you how much I hate it, it doesn't just look silly, it looks god-awful & disgraceful. As a slow-walky person myself I enjoyed every step I took in Dark Souls 3, or Bloodborne, or The Surge (Deck13 btw) - I could really feel the walking, feel the steps, and the sounds were just right, the animations were really good, everything there worked in tandem to immerse me into the games.
    Here, in LoTF23 it's as floaty & weightless as the combat that I described above, the game just won't let me FEEL it right, and in turn I don't really feel like playing it.
    And that's a real shame, I've been drooling over this game since its very announce, I was overhyped expecting it to be my next big thing. But then I played it (and re-played it in 4 months after the release), and felt these conflicting emotions of seeing all the gorgeous surroundings while struggling to immerse & ground myself enough by the very core things the game might offer - the movement, and the combat. And it's just heartbreaking, really. Everything around me looks so good there, yet the very foundation of the game (and its gameplay loop) feels so wrong. 'Tis a shame.

    I was really disappointed with it. The combat was one of the biggest let downs, felt kinda soggy. Slicing enemies with a sword felt more like hitting them with a baseball bat.
    The umbral world was also cack. Traversing between the two worlds was always an obvious necessity and felt like a mode change rather than something to figure out for yourself or an optional path.
    I thought the bosses would be fun, but they're just a repetitive memory game.

    @InfernalMonsoon Před 21 dnem

    Honestly I can't fathom why so many people have taken a strong disliking to this game, for me it's essentially Dark Souls 2 if it was actually a good game. Pretty much every update has addressed player feedback, added tons of great features and I genuinely hope Hexworks expands on adding more modifiers to the game because it's easily one of the most replayable Souls-likes with all these updates imo. And the complaints about "being forced" to go into Umbral is just silly to me; it's a key part of the game's exploration, progression, secret hunting, puzzle solving and gives the player more to think about when playing the game - moaning about it being forced is just silly to me when it's a huge part of what makes its often great level design work so well.
    The only real criticism I feel holds any water now is the performance, which is still not very good. But to Hexworks' credit they were unfortunately using an early unstable version of UE5, which was likely forced onto them by the publisher, and they have been working hard to optimise it and it runs much better than it used to. It definitely had a pretty horrible launch, there's no doubt about that but I think the work and effort the dev team put into the game since then is beyond commendable especially when it's not even a live service game, as most developers and publishers would have dropped it if it wasn't an immediate smash success. I think it's a fantastic game now and it's unfortunate that some people seem to almost obsessively hate on it.

    It wasnt a bad game just had some really bad design choices. The devs clearly didnt play their own game or beta test it with how wonky the “umbral bonfires” are placed. No one who wouldve played it would say yes these are placed perfectly, nothing about these will annoy players. Also i know they fixed the enemy density but again, no one beta tested it thoroughly

    I hated the game when i initially played it but now I love it because of its interconnected beautiful world and exploration BUT the game is a painful, aggravating mess which I couldn't in all my heart recommend to anyone. I just find the fighting painfully messy and the enemy placement and levelling is atrocious. My "nothing but strength" build still takes multiple hits towards the end game and I am still seeing the same enemies from that start kicking my arse at the end. And they are obsessed with dogs.

    This game seems to have had such undeserved success in even selling a million units. The only people I know who bought it all purchased it at launch before even knowing what they were getting and none of them liked it.
    In fact the only reason it sold a million units is because of the truly ridiculous hype that it somehow gathered. I mean this game had just about everything to get people way too excited: Dark Fantasy, Souls like, shiny graphics. That’s like a deadly concoction of impulsive purchases and so many people got baited into buying something that within a week of release everyone knew was basically trash.

    When devs make a game run worse then ark survival evolved on the series x you deserve your game to flop. 7-11 fps with drops into 3-7 fps slide show should be liable for a lawsuit. Xbox allowing this game which runs so poorly on the series x should be sued also

    It just as good as dark souls 3 maybe a little better depending on what were talking about but since it isn't as good as elden ring it's a flop. Would you say dark souls was a flop because when it came out it was to hard for most players. At least half the players that picked it up never touched it again after playing it for the first time. That game was so good tho we now have souls like games and the multiplayer and spellcasting/range usage is a 100% better than any souls game i've played especially legitimate, dark souls or elderly

      @@Born2Game I agree they would have made more. 1.2 million units sold after adjustment isn't bad (November 2023 sales numbers). I'm guessing what they are making post launch with sales, bargains, and whatnot are pure profit. Considering just the base game was $70 (U.S.D.) for the basic version, the minimum collected was 84 million. There's no telling how many people bought the more expensive (and completely bullshit) package, lol. 84 million isn't bad, but with proper management, development, and marketing of this game, I do believe it could have hit the 200 million mark. Great video, btw!
