Played KF 1-3 in January before taking a break. Was completely in love with 2 & 3 and excited to start IV, feeling it was a sure bet I'd love it, too. But...I don't? It's not bad or anything but it feels like it's a bit "lesser" in every area. I loved the lore going on in the first three games but IV got rid of that completely and I don't care about what's going on with this idol and earth kin or w/e at all. The music isn't as good. NPCs aren't as interesting. Areas aren't as nice to look at and explore. Some of the enemy types are obnoxious. I got to some icy area after getting the priest key and I'm struggling to keep going.

Finally discovered the repair/upgrade guy and heaved a sigh of relief as I gave him all my degrading crap. Found out I now have to sit here for 10 irl minutes waiting for the repairs.

I don't how why From does this lol.

I've only played King's Field II and that was shortly after it released and I was... 7 or 8? I had no idea what the fuck I was doing and sold it at a yard sale in irritation.

You emulating them?

I can't imagine how many walls a kid playing these would run up against lol. And yeah, emu.

Not yet. It's on the list, same as Eternal Ring.

Despite my whining about it, I beat it tonight. It did get a lot better, and I'm feeling pretty sad now that I'm out of KF games to play. These games are so damn fun and full of atmosphere.

Do you use walkthroughs or do it blind?

I use a walkthrough if I get stuck or when in the middle I want to double check magic location to make sure I get them all.
