There are no lives.
The only part where death truly matters is in the optional post-end-game rogue-lite tower mode.
Not sure how generous the checkpoints are, if there any, or if you have to redo the entire level tho.

There are streams of less skilled Japanese gamers playing the first mission in the game and after death you revive within 2-3 seconds and not far back. I saw that on a boss fight they would just spawn a very short way away to try again. The game also has difficulty settings so your son should be fine.
Of all the weapon, I think the polearm movesets looks/feels just right for me. I'll probably have a long sword as my secondary.
Of all the playstyles, I think polarity is one that would suit me the best since I'm a fan of character action and so switching between weapons is natural to me. Weakpoints also sound interesting since I'm using polearm.
I still can't decide on a Valor Plate yet, nothing of their abilities seem interesting to me. If it was by looks alone I would pick Greyhawk or Hinterclaw.

Crit-Crit Damage-Weakpoint-Breach-Takedown-Polearm with heavy attack thrusts. From the ones we know off, I think Hinterlcaw for crit-focus or breach Armstrice offensive will be great.

I need a LOT more info on the Valorplates. Can't wait to play around with all the weapons. With the haptics of the PS5, I'm going to try just about everything to see which one I like the literal feel of.
There probably won't be a Steam version for this game, correct? Never bought a game off Epic before but thinking this might be my first. Looks so pretty & fun to play!

We should have some reviews and real world gameplay/streams tomorrow.

One of ERA's own has these early impressions to tide you over:
Awesome. I'm not sure if I'll grab this along side Demons, or ACV. I'm leaning more towards this
Has a year exclusivity with with Epic. So not until then at the very least.
No word on it yet. Part of the embargo according to a reviewer on reddit.
Yeah but Hinterclaw sounds like an endgame set so we probably won't see it for a while.
I guess in theory I want an armor with high spirit to minimize cooldown time. But I have a suspicion that the 'optimal' builds would all be boosting damage as much as possible.
A most of Archon abilities is either summon 3 support units or deal one big AOE buff/debuff, which I guess helps with making each armor be versatile for any build, but at the same time isn't very interesting lol.
Might not be a lot of marketing or even talk about the game generally, but the devs have said that they've seen encouraging signs of support in terms of preorders so this might be selling better than most think. It's basically a 3rd person Diablo and that sounds intriguing to many. We're all just hoping it's actually good.
Right. esp if people are all going for the ascended edition with the target b2 g1
same as steam. 2 hours or 14 days. Their refunds are instant though.

Yes, I am really wanting to read and learn more about the VP - any handy links to the info or is it just not out there yet? Also, really hoping we see a potential profile/support for DS5 haptics on PC for a game like this!
Ah good, because I don't know if my PC will run this lolol
I'm hyped for this game, but I'm literally sweating trying to force myself to live by the standard of waiting for it to drop to $60.
As soon as i find an used copy on ebay i will grab it. or maybe there will be a good deal on black friday.
was rather lukewarm before but the overview videos and the possibility that there is some longterm appeal because of the loot/post game rogue lite mode definitely got me very interested by now.
I have confidence that the gameplay stuff would be fine, every thing the devs have shown and talked about have been pretty consistent.
The real problem with any of these kinds of games is how long can the current content last people? Even the great Monster Hunter World had content droughts in the first few months.

Looks so good. I want it now! Haha.
The animations are smooth as silk and it's definitely a game I can't wait to get my hands on and tinker with all the different skills.
I don't think they are selling it as a service game. You can beat the game and move on.
There's some pretty clever use of the adaptive triggers from that video preview. One of the final hits to a sword combo just slightly toughens the R2 trigger, which creates this sense of weight and strength behind the wind up to this massive final sword blow.
From what I've seen, this is one of those games that doesn't visually convey how good it feels to play. From the controller haptics and adaptive triggers, to the speed and fluidity, and finally, even nuanced things like the enemy gauge UI chipping away in blocks in tandem with your damage. That last point may sound silly, but it's oh so important that a game conveys damage to an enemy in sync with hits and animations.
I'll have my hands on this game (PS5) in about 8-9 hours from now.
