There you go. 35 minute gameplay trailer.

What I'm sold on is the exploration. The world itself just look good.

I'm not sold on the combat. I need to see if it's like your average souls/borne type of combat or if they've improved upon it. More Sekiro-ish. I'm not expecting it to have combat like Nioh, but I'm need more than 2 swings and roll. That's just "ugh" to me which is why I've always looked at the souls/borne games sideways.

Everything else is whatever at this point. Maybe I'll be sold more on creature types and whatnot a little later, but right now, eh.

Is this day 1 for me? Probably not. But I'll probably get once the gushing dies down.

Thoughts? Hype check level. Are you sold? Did you check out?

This is Maximilian_Doods impression of the demo. I did watch Easy Allies impression and while the video was good overall, their sensitivity to spoilers was making it hard to sell me on the game. In fact, they damn near made me consider not getting it in the first place. And considering I'm not a fan of the Souls games at all, yeah (I've been down on these guys a bit now).

Anyway, Max's impression sells me on it a little more. It's still souls through and through and I thought that much. EA didn't sell me on the combat. Max mentioned something about having 3 abilities for 1 style/weapon and that immediately made my ears perk. Anyway, I don't want to turn this into a Max vs EA so I'm going to stop here and say overall, while I'm not completely sold, my interested has peaked.
