It's primarily shitposting from Soulsfags upset at the lack of RPG elements and ambiguous storytelling. Also people who are put off by the feudal Japan setting.

>being hyped for a b-team fromsoft game
has Dark Souls 2 taught you nothing? This is even being published by Activision for christs sake.

DaS2 was great and so will be Sekiro

The spear is one of the prosthetic tools. It's more like a harpoon.
The tools basically are different weapons, but... there's always "but", the number of uses of prosthetic tools is limited, unlike the proper primary weapon.
But people complaining about it are mostly nitpicking.
The lack of RPG elements is a serious concern though when it comes to replayability.

Why do people keep saying it's a souls game?

Still, it seems like the whole board is convinced you only use a katana. But in the frame of the vid I linked, he is holding and attacking with a spear.
And it's not like leveling is gone either, they just replaced attributes that scale your damage or health with skill trees that give you new moves and attacks. I think that's a way cooler way of leveling your character, because each talent point you invest gives you something meaningful instead of just numbers.

because From Software makes only Souls games

This is an A-team game, are you dumb? Literally same team that made DeS, DS1 and Bloodborne, and Miyazaki is the sole director of Sekiro.
If you're gonna lie, at least make up something believable like the "only katana" lie that fooled Yea Forums for weeks.

Shibuya, who fucked up DS2 was literally fired from FromSoft for that. Sekiro is a Miyazaki game.
