- Unlike many games in the Souls genre, Lies Of P focuses heavily on its story through both its characters and environment without leaving it to the item descriptions or CZcamsrs to do the heavy lifting. Joining me (Matty) is executive producer Dustin Furman and Punchin' Up's Gene Park to answer your burning questions about Lies Of P. Is it too close to the From Soft games where it fails to set itself apart? What do we make of THAT ending with THAT sequel setup? What of the bosses that whopped us one too many times? It's time for a deep dive into one of the most surprising games of the year!
- Hry
Took me so many tries to beat Walt Disney for the good ending. His thawing power was too strong.
Stoked for Wizard of P!
I was thinking it might be called wizards of O or something
As usual, Genes analysis is second to none. Love the show guys!
Wow, thank you guys for putting this out for free. So excited to listen to it, game of the year for me.
Just wanted to point out P is the Tin man. If I only had a heart. The P organ is his heart. You will play as the boy again to assist Dorthy.
So glad you guys are giving this game love. This was my game of the year! Absolutely, excellent.
Excellent discussion and analysis regarding my personal Game of the Year. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
I can't believe you guys didn't mention the jester puppet! The clown for sure was tough, but the jester terrified me. The way he chases you down and doesn't stop! I had such a hard time with him and when you encounter him the 2nd time in Arch Rift, I just let him and the monsters duke it out while I watched.
Yea, that Jester is way worse, he has active moves that charge at your leaving no room to heal
The main issue with copying a popular game is you get so many lackluster clones, which the souls-like subgenre has tons of. It happened with shooters in the 90s after Doom, platformers in the late 80s/90s after Mario, and with third-person shooters after Gears of War. It's rare when you get a game that uses those elements in a new creative way. Straight copying is lazy and uninspired while homage, which Lies of P imo falls under, is creative.
Wow, that sucks that you guys were originally gonna have The Bradster on here until he got banned by his coworkers from talking to his friend about video games.
Just beat Lies of P and I’m here for the spoilercast!
Bullying the Clown Puppet on subsequent playthroughs is so satisfying. Karma x 100.
I really do hope lies of p is gonna be like the Fables universe. All the fables in one world. Kinda like Shrek too lol.
This game was amazing. I for sure hope they wait with their DLC until after the Elden Ring DLC is out for a while. ER will take me another 100-140 hours I would guess (replaying for sure). I would love to get the Lies of P DLC some months after the Elden Ring one. Perfect pacing of my next year of gaming :)
Excellent discussion fellas! Lies of P was incredible and if Baldur's Gate 3 didn't blow my socks off, this would 100% be my GOTY. It is severely underrated and will probably not be on most people's GOTY list, but it is a huge success nonetheless. Can't wait to see where it goes from here!
I really enjoyed my time with Lies of P but the lack of enemy stagger on the puppet enemies paired with poor telegraphing and a couple of ridiculous attack strings really made it more frustrating than it needed to be imo. A lot of this game felt like Elden Ring endgame which I also didn't enjoy that much comparatively.
Weirdly enough the new Lords of the Fallen does all of this better while being inferior in many other aspects respectively, which evens both games out in terms of quality for me personally.
Great stuff boys, love these LSM 'crossovers'
Great review! Not my style of game but with the hype throughout LSM I had to check the spoilercast out
It’s weird…it took me 20 tries to beat Laxasia and about 45 for Nameless Puppet.
And it took me like 15 for Sword Saint. Owl [Father] in the burning building? Three days.
The Scrapped Watchman wanted to be Darkbeast Paarl so bad.
GOTY for me 💪 absolutely loved it all the way through
Sad because it was probably brad
That's funny Gene said P looks like Sora, just like P Sora has a Jiminy of his own following him around during adventures 😅
Max Derrat would be an awesome guest if the audience is interested in a more philosofical analysis on games
I'm surprised nobody spoke of how people's saved games randomly get deleted for no reason. In ANY game its unacceptable. It ruined the game for me. After playing for 4 hours on ps4, my saved game disappeared. I reluctantly restarted, only for it to happen again 6 hours in. Beware anyone playing this game. Your save may dissappear forcing you to start over again. What a waste of money
Just got a Platinum 🏆
Hands down my personal GOTY. 🎉
Just beat this on gamepass. Was really surprised at the quality of it. Souls knock offs tend to be awful, but this game is just as good as bloodborne if you ask me
GOTY 2023.
yep
You forgot about Baldur’s Gate 3
@@MegaTroubleII I don't talk about games I have not played. But leave your Steam Id or PS ID, to see where you at in BG3.
Lol! The mad hatter theory is so bad.
GOTY
Lies of P is my favorite souls game mainly because it had more direct storytelling. Everytime I beat a FS game I generally have no idea what’s going on in the world lol
Honestly I hated Gemini and he constantly ruined the mood and atmosphere of an otherwise incredible experience, but to each their own and if he's part of the Lies of P flair going forward then so be it.
The side quest with the woman in quarantine triggered dialogue from him that made me immediately google whether or not it was possible to mute him permanently ;d
Just replayed this exact sequence on a fresh NG+0 and the nerd didn't say anything to ruin the moment, so I guess the lil guy can be varying degrees of annoying depending on how lucky you are.
Yo y'all should switch to Kofi instead of Patreon, Patreon takes 8% of all transactions, Kofi takes $4.50/mo
2023 best souls like was Lords of the Fallen. Lies of P had some fundamental mechanics that were flawed.
Yeah this game is blatant plagiarism. Don’t think it does anything better than souls.
I think you could argue it elevates the trick weapon system in a way. Being able to switch handles and blades is really cool. I’m only 7 hours in and that’s the coolest thing in the game as opposed to souls games in my opinion
Soulslikes suck. Except for Star Wars Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor.
😂
