How about you review my dick

>Gamejournos getting fucked over
>NOOOOO PLEASE NOOO
Unironically kill yourself, this is for the best.

Bad bait.

I hope this becomes a trend, giving less and less power to fake gamers that go under the title of journalist will be the greatest thing this decade. I mean, they were never on your side which they are very adamant on showing.

maybe because it's not

there's plenty of gameplay videos from people who actually play games, go look at those and form your own opinion
why would you want bullshit reviews from video game "journalists"

Bad bait.

>Omg this game is BTFOing game journos
>So hard dood

I see From is up to their old marketing tricks. PREPARE TO BUY I mean die.

100% this

I hate that we've got to the point where people actually call themselves "gamers", especially on fucking Yea Forums.

No way around it, we live in a climate that need to fucking label people. So if you play games, you are a consumer/gamer/player or whatever, is just that you are not on "their" side.

there's plenty of gameplay around that you can watch
how is reading some game journo's shitty opinions better than that?

It's really come to a point where people actually care about views and metacritic so much they don't actually play the games they just lurk the internet all day for scores

Thank goodness I actually do play video games and tend not to care about reviewers. They are right about certain games ONCE IN A WHILE(Latest one piece game and jump force), but for the most part you have to trust your own taste in games.

Do you not play other games? It's more common for reviews to come out the week a game releases than earlier. Review embargo date has nothing to do with quality or sales potential, Rockstar games usually don't get reviews until a few days before release.

Clickbait, you click on their stuff now cause you are so angry. Only way to counter this is having a archieve site for normalfaggot news which will not give them any ad rev.

Yeah I'm not even sure if it's worth a pirate

Game has a demo, dicksucker journos got to play it, and you get to read about it, they just did not get the whole game. Wait for release date and watch some stream of your fav streamers kiddo.

It's going to review extremely well and sit on a minimum of 87 on metacritic and there's literally nothing you seething falseflag niggers can do about it

This is going to be the first Miyazaki game to fail. People are buying it expecting another Souls game but what they'll get is an action game with a weird, unproven, combat system. The success of this game rests entirely on people liking the combat system enough to stick with it for dozens of hours.

It's a bold gamble for From Software, I admire the bravado. But it will likely end poorly.

OH NO NO NO NO

Konami went after the reviewers so no reviews. Game is most likely shit. Also the matter at hand should be why aren't there PLAYER reviews not fucking game urinalists or "X" Youpenis personality's review.

Its GTA

I meant activision but same shit.

Dark Souls got an 89 and is now widely considered a classic.

I pre-ordered the collector’s edition. AMA

I have no idea what the fuck you're trying to say.

They're not sending out review copies, and the review embargo is launch day, just like with Doom 2016.
It must be Activision being weird, it's not like with the film industry where this means the movie is automatically trash.

That, or the game is easily spoilable.

If it's spoilable then that adds to the unreplayability.

You're not 10 years old anymore; you don't have to play the same game for thousands of hours because your parents won't get you a new one.
What is it with zoomers and this retarded obsession?

its a smart move
journos will just be whining about the difficulty there no need to give them the time of day, i think there been plenty released so far to give you an idea if its the sort of think you will like or not

good goy

what i learnt from sekiro thread:
>its not replayably if its not an rpg
>its not replayably if you dont play a custom character
>its not replayably if the story has any sort of reveal or twist

I replay memorable ones, usually because I get a crave for it after months. I don't like online in souls but it's nice the little rpg aspects of them to discover the game in a different way. Is it too bad wanting more options than linear storyline/gameplay?

This unironically.

This comes from someone who plays the original Silent Hill every year.

all of these are legit concerns

>FRIENDLIEST GAME ACCORDING TO POLIKEK

What the fuck, sekibros. It was supposed to be more difficult since no online :(

Attached: 1.png (753x516, 589K)

DAMN!

nah you just don't know enough games to understand how a game can be replayable. you for example as a souls shitposter have the brain power to understand that you can pick a weapon or a spell for some gimmick and beat the game with it and after your first playthrough you realized there were some secrets and things you could have done to get different endings and other items or used a mechanic much better. unfortunately you are too stupid to have the imagination how such concepts could be used in different high iq game like sekiro.

Most of the weapon variety (which is really all you people mean by "replayability") is a complete waste of resources, which they could use to actually improve the game by making it less broken. It's also a quantity>quality argument.
The vast majority of players never put in 2 full playthrough anyway, especially without years in between.

This is how games have always worked; you beat them and move on. The fact that I have to explain this shit to you is insane.
If you don't like it, go play League or whatever.

NOT ALL GAMES HAVE TO BE REPLAYED FOREVER AND EVER. I don't know about you NEETS but I beat a game and move the fuck on. Yes it was great but come on now there are too many games to go back to the same game 400 times.

Attached: 1518124160910.jpg (960x960, 96K)

I wholeheartedly agree. Plus, if I like a game, I might pick it up again sometime later, regardless of how many checkbox features the devs put in for "replayability".

They didn't give out review copies cause the game is significantly shorter than other souls games, and it would look shit to have it marked down pre-release for not being as lengthy.

Less quantity doesn't automatically mean better quality, more so in Activision games in which is mostly just mean "rushed". Focusing only on one or two things to beat bosses will not make it more polished, it will only be more linear.

You mean like most games after Ocarina of Time, but made by Miyazaki.

Blatant lie.

It has none of the same core elements you retard.

>the game is significantly shorter than other souls games,
What's your source? They stated the game is as long as the any souls game.

Activision is only publishing in the west, they had nothing to do with the development.

Read it, it has a tutorial. That's it.
Literally everyone who played it says it's harder than all souls games.

Sekibros? More like Sekidump that shit into the trash.

Shitposting aside, I"m slightly worried that FROM has put 100% lock down on any footage from the tutorial in the game.

Vaati says it's good and that's evidence enough for me

Publisher contibute with money, user.

I hope it'll be cracked day one

Yeah, I can't imagine why they're s-

To publish on the west.

>guys who get money and views only from Fromsoft games
No shit

How much of the sales are in the west, retard. Asia only sells like 20% nowadays. Souls games sell like 300k in Japan at most.

which animations are taken from dark souls?
>hurr durr 90% of them1!!
point them out you autist
oh wait you cant, because they're not taken from dark souls

From also approached Bamco and a bunch of other publishers and Activision offered them the sweetest deal. They're not retarded.

Who cares? Activision gave no development money, it's been stated that their only involvement is helping From publish the game on the west.

DMC dumps all over this shit, are you kidding me. Why the fuck would I play this trash instead of hanging out with the Boomer Bros?

They didn’t send out review copies you fucking dumbass. Stop making several Sekiro doom threads a day.

The drones of FROM will defend it too.

Pretty much any game scoring 80+ on metacritic is guaranteed to be at least passably good and fun, this silly idea that anything less than perfect is garbage is one of the weirdest things to come out of this board. It's no wonder you elitist cuns never have any fun, you all have unachievably high standards and constantly tear down your peers and fellows. You come to a place where you should rightfully belong and rather than enjoy the company of likeminded individuals you actively seek to bring each other down. The most bizarre part? You all do this over a leisure activity of all things, you scream at each other over the best and most efficient way to relax and have fun, as if any of your incessant chatter matters. Yea Forums truly is the cancer killing video games, what was once a place of enjoyable company, jokes, memes and personal experiences in games is now just a cesspit of disaffected children playing the part of expert critics, pseudo intellectuals playing at being just like the video game journalists they all seem to despise, nothing but boring jealousy, black and ugly

It's just parry/mash dodge, dude.

Watch any gameplay for a few minutes and you can see its a tenchu game at its core, no-ones going to miss the antiquated elements you mentioned except Riki, but I guarantee he will be at least get a nod at some point in the game

Game is unironically too hard for game journalists.

absolutely loved Bloodborne, specially the gameplay and setting
should I buy senkirol?

Have played it. It's good.

>90% of the souls animation and enemies
Only if you're a blind nigger.

Honestly yes, it has the same dark atmosphere and much faster gameplay

The setting is obviously totally new, but the combat looks a lot like BB to me. It's made for fast paced, close quarters combat rather than the methodical and slower combat of DaS.

I don't have impossibly high standards, Monster Hunter 3U is a perfect game to me.

You could just not buy it day 1 and wait for good opinions(outside Yea Forums of course). Pre orders and pre release reviews/marketing are cancer.

Reminder that it's just about time to evacuate the internet if you want to avoid spoilers

But I already formed a positive opinion by watching the trailers and previews.

sekiro isnt linear though
the world design is like dark souls, but more open

Too late, I already pre-order the collectors edition

>forced to buy the game to form your own opinion
If you're going to buy it, buy it when it's on sale. We've got decades of other games and there's no online. There's no reason to be a retarded consumer any more.

This is a good way to avoid getting burned if you are on the fence about a game. I've seen enough of the gameplay that I know I will probably like it, so I preordered just for the preload.

That could easily change after you start playing. Be patient and just wait.

steam has refunds
you have a 2 hour demo

>>forced to form your own opinion
oh no

Same, I’m giving the figure to my nephew

Already pre-ordered with a 10% discount. I’ve never been disappointed by any game I pre-ordered before to be honest, as I rarely do it.

That's great for you, but most morons here pre order a game and then endlessly bitch about it afterwards.

the tutorial isnt 2 hours long unless you're really bad at video games

That's not what the people who played it a couple weeks ago think. They still compare it to Souls, it's just more of a departure than Bloodborne was. They say if you like Souls for its gameplay and world and characters and way of storytelling, you'll like Sekiro; it's just the RPG elements and build variety that are missing.

>sure you can, it's right there
Oh so you are retarded. I'd be willing to bet $100 that you can't find it in the picture that was posted. Are you confident enough to take that bet?

They've already showed 2 bosses that aren't in the trophy list.

It doesn't die then though? Why are you so desperate to lie about a game.

Sir, you are a nigger.
Enjoy your CoD #10, that is just reskined CoD #6 for full prize, with 2 hours singleplayer campaign and multiplayer that looks the same as previous games.

A lot of the games failed at some point, because faggot companies decided to make another game in the series so they will get more sheckles. Heroes of Might and Magic, Fallout, Icewind Dale. All of them failed, because studio said first game gave us money, so we will make another one

Memezaki told, that he will work on something else than Dark Souls IV. The story in souls is complete. I need to say, that without him From did DS2 while he decided to make great Bloodborne. I just hope it will be half good as BB and fuck you nigger.

Is there any word on what time the game launches? Midnight west coast or what?

Everyone says we've only seen 1-3 bosses, but we know 7 of those characters. Are you guys retarded?

>They've already showed 2 bosses that aren't in the trophy list.
Who? You mean mini-bosses? Those aren't bosses.

Usually it's midnight east coast so 9pm west coast, I'm not sure if it's the same for this though (it should be but who knows)

Post a picture with it circled. I guarantee I'll send payment if you include a temporary email. I'm a man of my word and have always paid up every bet I've ever made. I've even bought someone a game on Yea Forums due to losing a bet.

So, Dark Souls has 42 bosses?

Burden of proof isn't on me fella, I know when it comes out, you know when it comes out everyone knows when it comes out, and everyone will be playing it on the 22nd of march.

this but I'll pirate it

This is a bet revolving around your capability to do something. If you wanted to take the bet, the burden is completely on you...

That's wrong. Try again.

First part is meant for

you keep trying but it wont change the release date being march 22nd everywhere including steam

Sorry but that is wrong.

Yeah 42 shit bosses

no, it's pretty accurate

Yes they are you retard.

Dark Souls has 6 bosses now?

Please refer to;
If something is wrong, it is in fact not accurate. Do we need to have a 2nd grade English session now?

Tell you what, you play sekiro on the 23rd, i'll be playing it on the 22nd on steam, like that other user showed you

Silly user, that trophy shows 9 bosses not 6.

I've already seen a few of my preferred streamers try the early access copy and give their thoughts on it and I've formed my own initial opinion of the game by watching gameplay and watching people with similar game interests as me give their own informed opinion.

Don't really need a gaymin journo who played it for like an hour compare it to dark souls or god of war constantly and then break it down to a #/10 system so brainlets can figure out if "GOOD GAME MUST BUY" or "BAD GAME LETS BOYCOTT!"

youre both fags

but i'm a fag whose going to be playing it on the 22nd of march on steam

>fpbp

bloodborne and DS3 have trophies for every boss, dumbass

Nice try faggot.

Your on Yea Forums too so your a faggot just like the rest of us.

See, you're so much of a faggot that my misuse of 'your' triggered you and you would have corrected me in your response had you not read this.

That's 2 out of 5 retard. And the new game has ALREADY SHOWN it won't have them for every single boss. Why are you so in denial?

I'm not wrong, like I said, I'll be playing it on the 22nd on steam you can enjoy it on the 23rd
because I know what my steam store page is telling me and it's telling me i can play on the 22nd of march 2019

>no online

You should do what you want not what others tell you to do, if you wanna buy it, buy it, if you wanna pirate it, pirate it

why no advance reviews? they did it for bloodborne, cause they knew it was great.

now i'm thinking it's shit or too short.

like I said, you play it on the 23rd, and I'll be playing it on the 22nd, don't worry though, I wont spoil it for you once I play it on the 22nd on steam

If you don't want From software to make more games, don't buy it. If you do want them to make more games, buy it. Simple as that.

name 1 time advanced reviews has ever worked out in fromsoft's favor
it's always just reviewers crying that the game is too hard or rushing through the game without taking the time to play it so they can get a review out as fast as possible and giving a bad review

>I'm still trying to cover up that I'm wrong
Still not going to work.

Because a lot of companies have recently been shying away from giving away review copies to freeloading game journalists and want them to go out and buy their own copies

ill be playing it on the 21st

I'm not wrong, I'll be playing it on the 22nd which is what my picture showed, you enjoy it on the 23rd, I'll enjoy it for a full day before you get the pleasure

nice dude, hope you enjoy it, i myself will have to wait till the 22nd but I hope you enjoy it

>it's always just reviewers crying that the game is too hard
That worked out in their favor for me. I would never want to play a game that a reviewer considered normal difficulty, or god forbid easy.

This is in fact a wrong statement. You can evade it as much as you want and I'll just keep pointing out that you are wrong.

then don't? stop being a faggot and just pirate it if you dont want to buy it

I've already pointed out that you were wrong. Do you not know how to read or how to look at a picture?

its a better example than the pvp shitters who said the game is hard

no, i know how to look at a picture perfectly well, see? march 22

Why is Activision important? I certainly don't blame Activision for anything. If a game has something I don't like, it is the developer's fault. It is up to the developer to have standards and to tell Activision what they will and won't allow in their games. Quit blaming Activision for shitty developers with no backbone. All Activision does is fund a game.

activision ruined blizzard, for one thing.

same. i generally hate beast fights cause the camera is fucky and hitboxes are fucking huge, but having every boss being a human can get pretty dull

they didnt fund this game, however. only publishing it in the west. they dont own the ip and only helped from make a real tutorial for once.

>he thinks
>says march 22
Nope, definitely doesn't know how to look at a picture.

>No mini-map, wtf
>No map markers
>No massive open world
>Lootboxes and microtransactions are absent for some odd reason
>Too complex combat system
This game is going to suck isn't it bros?

>he thinks
>doesn't say March 22
Seems accurate to me

>I hope this becomes a trend, giving less and less power to fake gamers that go under the title of journalist will be the greatest thing this decade

Yeah, instead of sending out review copies to gaming journalists they should target Youtubers with even less integrity who will sell out without a second thought.

Don't defend this bullshit. What Activision is doing right now is trying to control the narrative and curate what gets said about Sekiro. Why do you think they sent a bunch of Souls fanboys to try out the game at From Software? You think a person like VaatiVidya is going to shit on a new From game?

Attached: 1424356456.jpg (477x641, 123K)

And by buying this game and not buying other games that are ruined by Activision, you start to send a message on what is acceptable. When you don't reward good practices, you group them in with the bad practices. If you don't buy games then you just send a message that you shouldn't be considered a consumer and things will always continue on the way you don't like it to.

The faggot devs of Blizzard did that themselves you idiot

user, those are two different pictures. I didn't say "the release date being march 22nd everywhere". That is your quote and you are in fact wrong.

all you need is to watch some gameplay videos then try it out yourself.

Lobosjr, especially, I don't think he's ever said anything negative about a game (any game). The man is made of S O Y.

sure seems like you don't know how to look at a picture though, doesn't it?

Do you not know what a sellout is user? There are two types of developers out there. Ones that are focused on making good games and ones that are focused on making money. Sellouts are after the money.

alaikäban

This. The souls community "figures" literally depend on the games being well received so they get views and patreon money.

Nope. Again, circle in the picture where it says "RELEASE DATE: 22 Mar, 2019". Do you have some sort of reading comprehension?

Then I will pirate it.

at least they're people who actually play games
just watch the gameplay videos and make up your own opinion instead of getting your opinions from some "journalist"

You know what happens when a developer tells a publisher "no"? They lose funding. That's what happens. Developers aren't allowed to tell publishers no, that's not how shit works. They can discuss options, they can try their hardest to persuade and dissuade, but telling them, no? Gotta have big balls for that, gotta be willing to cut your own head off for that. Most developers can't just go around pissing off their meal tickets, they need money to live.

bloodborne had no review embargo, this does

usually when a game has some big flaw they try to hide it.

t. butthurt journo

>watch YT video to see if it's something you like

Like what examples? Keep spouting other people’s opinions you bootlicker

>that other user did
Nope.

>the release date is march 22nd
Look at the other picture. The release date is NOT March 22nd everywhere.

>you being pedantic doesn't change the fact
You being oblivious doesn't make me pedantic. Good job on showing that you've heard someone use a word before, but you might want to look up its meaning before you use it. The very first post this whole chain started from was a simple complaint that the game was being released on Saturday. Someone tried to correct him, so he posted a picture that proved he was right. My response to him was not wrong either. All that needed to be done at that point was to point out that this isn't just an issue with Steam, but rather that it is an issue with location. You tried to be obnoxious with a completely false comment, so I just kept showing you that you were incorrect. So again, feel free to look up the meaning of pedantic and use it properly next time. I'm sure you won't though based on how ignorant you have insisted on being through this entire thread.

a good game should have early reviews to hype it. why hide impressions of the game?

i'm not incorrect though, it's out on the 22nd if you just learnt how to look at a picture, tsk tsk

I'd rather pirate it, play it and say it's shit.

there are hours of gameplay videos available
why are you so butthurt that they're not sucking game journalist cock?

>No deluxe edition
LMAO

fuck journos, but i'm wondering why no early reviews. USUALLY they do that to hide how shitty a game is so people buy it and it's too late to return it when they realize it's bad.

Then wait a week, it's not complicated.

Does it have denuvo?

>Gotta have big balls for that, gotta be willing to cut your own head off for that.
That is the point. If you don't have the guts to stand up for your own morals, they are not your morals. You should not be praised for being a pussy. People who stand up and say no don't die of starvation like you think they do. I certainly haven't starved from all the job sites I've told to fuck off with their immoral shit.

Game has no online and no denuvo, no replayability so they are makibg sure people don't realize this, think it's just like the other souls games and don't pirate it.

Why should it? From wants to avoid spoilers

then pirate it or wait

>it's out on the 22nd if you just learnt how to look at a picture
I have never once said it isn't out on the 22nd. Learn to read.

>no replayability

Those games were good because they had tight game design. Sekiro is just a mix of assassins creed design with bloodborne combat.

At last, you finally came to your senses and admit defeat, it's good to know you finally acknowledge the fact that it's out on the 22nd of March

doesn't seem like it will

>so they are makibg sure people don't realize this, think it's just like the other souls games
I'm pretty sure that they have gone above and beyond from day 1 to tell people this isn't a fucking souls game though... How can they be trying to hide a fact that they have been driving themselves bat shit insane trying to point out every chance they can?

>no paid shills
this might be a good game

Defeat for what? You are claiming I'm wrong on something and I'm not. The game comes out on the 23rd on Steam. End of story.

BUT ALSO, BUNGA

MORE DARK SOULS FOR ME GOOD

LESS DARK SOULS FOR ME BAD


BUNGA

I'm glad Fromsoft is making so many people angry by refusing to make Call of Dark Souls Duty every year like the "fans" want them to. I pray to god that they keep making these original one-shot games, and refuse to put online in them as well. The amount of anger Sekiro has generated is almost comparable to Bloodborne being ps4 exclusive and people here STILL being assblasted even in 2019. It's amazing.

You shouldn't.

Shut the fuck up nigger, stop defending game journos. They are literally 40-50 year old kikes that never had any interest in games. They literally only see games as a business. Their ratings are irrelevant to anyone who is into games.

what manga?

Niiiiiice
day 1 pirate then

okay

Fallacy. It should be "If you don't want From Software to make more games like this, don't buy it."

???
They have shown the first 5 hours of the game, and a huge amount of info about the combat system and items etc.
Also it's been known for like half a year that it's a 30-50 hour game, dumbass.

TERRA FORMARS GAIDEN - ASIMOV

literally this. if you watch a game and it doesn't look good just don't buy it, it's not even that hard anymore.

I stopped trusting reviews after I started playing Horizon Zero Dawn

It very obviously has more replay value than Souls games did.

thanks

Nope, comes out on the 22nd on steam.

Namco Bandai is unironically worse than Activision. Namco single handedly created this massive generation of DS2-DS3 secondaries who childishly expect and demand Dark Souls cashgrabs annually so they can play the garbage tier PvP with new weapons.
It is their fault that this mass of people can't see Miyazaki wants to do something new and innovative each time, not make the same game multiple times.

I'm inbetween. I'm more than happy to get new IPs out of them, but I just want them to make a single Souls game that doesn't have any major flaws before they are finished with Souls. So far each one has at least 1 major flaw, but each major flaw does not exist in every game so they have shown that they are capable of fixing these flaws.

Every Souls game of theirs was well received by reviews though with the exception of DeS I think.

Are review copies actually out? I thought no one got those for this title. Does that mean we will see spoilers soon?

No, you're a retard. Developers can't tell publishers "no" when the publisher owns the IP and/or owns the dev company, which is almost always the case.
In THIS case, Activision has no ownership over FromSoft or the Sekiro IP. They have literally ZERO power to decide anything about the games development. From is the master in this relationship.

They may be paid shills but at least they're /ourpaidshills/ right guys?

No there will be no review copies, From doesn't care what Jason Schreier from Kotaku thinks about fucking anything.

The plot is shit, if you're playing it for the story you really should get your money back

DeS was literally what made them famous and caused Dark Souls 1 to sell so well.

>no denuvo
damn, guess I might buy it then

Both versions hold a bit of truth. Not getting sales should send them the message that they shouldn't make that type of game, but it can also send a message to publishers that From isn't worth the risk. Your version is the better way of phrasing it though.

Based on?

I mean boss spoilers and locations which are the most kino parts of from games. Apparently no review copies are being sent out so no reviews for a few days after game releases

My memory is fucked then, sorry. Still, it sound like From doesn't have much faith in this product if they're just NOW doing the review embargo thing.

No, everyone can be shills, journalists or youtubers. However, youtubers actually play the game and have better understanding of the game mechanic. Also, youtuber’s stand behind themselves and their own channel. If they give a bad/dishonest review, the damage goes directly to themselves. Meanwhile, journalists stand behind their company. They will do w/e the company/working circle dictates. These company are often too big to be hurt by a few reviews and nobody remember the journalists for a bad review, only the company brand that the review fell under.

You sound retarded. Ever stop to think maybe they just don't care what money hungry journokikes think? Western games journalists literally do not care about games and never play them except when they make money for it.

Of course they have faith in Sekiro, it is their main project and so far Miyazaki has only made pure gold.

I don't know man. The game hasn't even come out yet and this guy is saying the plot is shit.
Is it a meme? i don't get it

Please god no beefy gimmick bosses. If there is anything like curse rotted early on or something as shitty as Ebrietas later. I am going to return the game.

As someone who loves Souls it angers me to no end that people are dismissing Sekiro despite it very clearly being a passion project.

>>dark souls 3

>as shitty as Ebrietas
Fucking pleb

>Ebrietas
You mean Kosm.

Based on the trophy list I have a theory. I would wager that every boss is going to be a big expensive gimmick boss, and that mini-bosses are going to functionally replace what bosses once were.

>way more fun combat that has actual depth to it, other than R1-dodge-R1-dodge spam like in Souls
I've watched multiple gameplay videos and this is exactly what I see plus a tacked on parry mechanic and no stamina so you don't even have to think about how much you dodge spam.

Nope, you're wrong again, it's out on the 22nd, learn to look at a picture fella

The problem is that now we left without anything. Considering the series how Blood Borne and DS3 was an improvement the new Dark Souls could be awesome, but now we left with Sekiro which is just simply a subversion of the DS series. It is casualised to the maximum , game looks like it was made for switch.

What is your metric for being "put on the map"? In one direction, From wasn't a well known developer name until DaS was released on PC, as shitty of an experience as that was. Going in the opposite direction, AC "put them on the map" well before DeS was even dreamed of.

wouldn't it be funny if nioh had more variety in the combat?

does getting a deathblow on a boss completely deplete the entire health bar?

Or as some say, Kos.

People die when they are killed, yes.

>Is it a meme? i don't get it
There's nothing to get, you hope that this new game that hypes you is indeed a good game but big number of faggots on this board just love to see games fail, they love shitstorms and failure. Everyone has their own explanation as to why they do that but the best thing is to just ignore them.
Just have fun with the game and ignore these faggots

My deepest with is an entire FROM game filled with fast Lady Maria's and nights with epic multiple stages with multiple different weapons and forms, insane particle effects, Gwyn style music, and a changing arena. Hopefully there is something as kino as Sir Alonne.

The game is literally going to be free on whatever torrent site, make up your own mind. You have nothing to lose.

I don't give a shit about him

I wonder if Sir Alonne will somehow be alluded to in the game.

>you're wrong again

You are combining this with saying I'm wrong. This part is irrelevant, and you are just combining it with everything else you say to make you look right. You claiming that the game is not released on the 23rd on Steam is just flat out wrong though.

Divine confetti allows your attacks to damage ghosts, this game is going to be nuts.

The guy is trolling you user. You should really stop replying.

They don’t you idiot, they just aren’t sending out early review copies

im talking about the parry. how much dmg does the finishing blow do when you get the boss's posture meter to max?

>I would wager that every boss is going to be a big expensive gimmick boss, and that mini-bosses are going to functionally replace what bosses once were
It kind of doesn't really seem that way from what we've seen so far. Like yeah, each boss has a few different things that are unique to them, but you could say that about most of the bosses in the Souls games and Bloodborne.

Yes and? The game releases on Steam on the 23rd.

There is literally a release day review embargo.

It takes away one orb above the health bar. The bosses we've seen have 3.

Because it's literally out on the 22nd, you'd know this if you werent too busy being wrong all the time

I thought you could use the grappling hook on anything but it looks like it's just a bunch of predetermined set pieces. That's really disappointing.

so u can do nothing but parry the whole fight, never do anything else and kill them purely with ripostes?

You can attack, but you need to deathblow them to remove a health bar. Their health determines how quickly their posture recovers or something like that.

No, posture meter refills faster if their hp bar is high. You need to deal damage to both lower posture and make it refill slower.

yep
AlbertoDefa unlocked the kill lady butterfly boss 4 hours ago and that's the boss waling on threads we see in the trailer

>Because it's literally out on the 22nd

>you'd know this if you werent too busy being wrong all the time
I do know this, but I haven't been wrong a single time. The game is out on the 23rd on steam.

if you mean only doing damage by parrying then yes
but you can parry every attack so you cant just stand there parrying
and you'll kill them faster if you attack
you also have different moves where you dodge into certain attacks to get a special attack

Again with the being wrong, the game is out on steam on the 22nd, do you ever get tired of being wrong?

Right.

>Again with the being wrong
Haven't said a single thing wrong. The game is out on steam on the 23rd.

so rolling doesnt exist at all in this?

and if you can jump spam, why not just jump, slash, jump, slash

why parry at all

Stop arguing with this fucking moron how can you be baited so easily. You're probably samefag arguing with yourself. This board needs IDs.

>haven't said a single thing wrong
>proceeds to be wrong right after
games out on the 22nd of march on steam, fella

It has literally been going on for almost 3 hours. The autism of some subhumans here never fails to surprise me

Parrying really reduces enemy posture. Also some enemies have counters to jumping.

Stop falling for that obtuse faggots bait, user. It is out on the 23rd. It’s released the day before, but it’s still “out” then as well. He’s trying to be clever.

>>and if you can jump spam, why not just jump, slash, jump, slash
That's what I see from every early gameplay video with shuriken spam thrown in.

I can parry bosses in souls, but dodging is less of a risk

why parry at all?

you can't kill bosses without an execution move for one

Maybe you're right. I've been trying to avoid venturing too far into spoiler territory so I really haven't seen any boss mechanics. Slightly disappointing if true.

>so rolling doesnt exist at all in this?
No, but you get a dash like in Bloodborne.
>and if you can jump spam, why not just jump, slash, jump, slash
Because jumping won't evade most attacks? Jumping is a counter for unblockable sweep attacks, but other attacks will generally hit you if you jump. You don't jump 5' into the air or something.
>why parry at all
To increase the enemy's posture while keeping yours low and your HP high.

All the reasonable people have decided for or against buying it based off of the gameplay presented so far.

Some kind of posture mechanic where you can have to parry or you will do shit for damage.

There aren’t really invincibility frames like the Souls games

>so rolling doesnt exist at all in this?
it has a dash dodge which is the same as rolling
>and if you can jump spam, why not just jump, slash, jump, slash
because the enemies can still hit you, jumping doesnt make you invincible
and it will take much longer to kill anything

jesus, this was painful to watch

Dodging is much tighter than in their previous games

>30-50 hour game
not that guy but source?
honestly i have trouble imagining an action game that long for 1 run, usually the genre goes towards short-ish with high replayability.
i'm cautiously optimistic but i want to believe

ROOKS RIKE YOU CHOSE THE RONG PARTY TO CRAAASH

parry in sekiro isnt the same as parry in souls

so do you do more damage from the back like nioh?

The new God of War is that length

Only on females.

SoW has a decent amount of cutscenes, more than 1 weapon and leveling.

>games out on the 22nd of march on steam, fella
Right.

>proceeds to be wrong right after
Nope. The game will be released on Steam on the 23rd. This is a factual statement that has been proven with a pic in this thread...

Watching "autism" doesn't make you anything other than autistic. You are just insulting yourself and just need to prove your self worth by commenting on something that a non-autist would just ignore.

>but it's still "out" then as well
Not at all what I'm saying. Let me be clear. The game is in fact being released on the 23rd on steam. This means that the game will not be available on steam on the 22nd. It does not mean that it is released on the 22nd and remains released on the 23rd as you seem to be implying with your post. Now if you bothered reading more into this before posting like an idiot, you would have understood this. Instead, you are trying to defend an idiot that has been out to discredit what I have said from the very beginning while being wrong the whole time. Good job, user. You do us all proud and are clearly a cut above the rest.

>inb4 user is too stupid to be able to read sarcasm without an obvious /s at the end of my post

It has like 8 hours of “””””””cutscenes”””” so that’s 42 hours. And you only have two weapons.
There is fucking leveling in Sekiro you god damn retard

Maybe you should have kept reading because I literally explained why it obviously has far more interesting build variety.
Every single weapon plays the same in Dark Souls games than other weapons scaling from the same attributes. In addition to that, every single one of them is played the same way, just spam R1 and dodge sometimes.
Sekiro has actual build variety, not just a difference between STR or DEX focus.
Nice lie. Dodge spamming does nothing in Sekiro since you have no i-frames. You actually have to dodge at very correct times for the first time in a From game, and secondly you have 3 different types of dodge actions and you have to use the correct one depending on how the enemy is attacking.
>tacked on parry mechanic
How is it tacked on when the entire combat system has been built around doing insane combos and deflecting insane enemy combos?

You are mentally retarded or lying. Which is it?

This, its essentially perfect or glancing block that does damage to posture/stamina.

>This means that the game will not be available on steam on the 22nd.
really activates ones almonds

Are you fucking retarded? Or are you reverse baiting?

Not true at all. I remember very well how I got into DeS because of how it got only very good reviews in 2009, and when they started marketing DS1 with trailers, the whole world went crazy with hype. They were well known by the time DS1 had not even released yet and was being marketed.

>Dodge spamming does nothing in Sekiro since you have no i-frame
Except get you out of the way of super-telegraphed attacks quicker. Go on and show me some gameplay videos where the player uses these insane combos. I'll wait.

>a tacked on parry mechanic and no stamina so you don't even have to think about how much you dodge spam.
the parry mechanic is why you have to think about how much you dodge spam
the posture regens
if you spam dodge, then you lose all the posture damage you've caused and it will take you forever to kill tougher enemies
i think you're going to have a hard time with this game since you refuse to adapt to the new gameplay

The game will release on the 22nd of March, 6pm UK time, 10AM PST.

>This means that the game will not be available on steam on the 22nd.
really activates ones cashews

Well it has a huge focus on exploration and replay value since it's a non-linear world like DS1's, where you can do the areas in many different orders.
This isn't a traditional action game, why would you think that? Miyazaki always innovates.
And the source is their GameInformer article reviews, the devs said it's as long as Souls games on first playthrough.

Doesnt DMC technically have only one dedicated attack button? One for range and one for special function? It's same in Sekiro. Number of buttons doesnt always add depth, fucktard.

>This means that the game will not be available on steam on the 22nd
It will be though

>retarded faggot thinks his 23rd is the same as everyone else’s
The world revolves around America, faggot. It releases the 22nd, your 23rd.

>8 hours of cutscenes
damn, they weren't kidding when they called it a movie game.
i watched gameplay of some of the old entries and it didn't seem right for me, it's very spectacular but very little substance, especially while judging your performance, how combo strings are calculated ecc
god hand/dmc are the ones that did that last part right
as far as i could tell the new one improved on the whole "throw a lot of shit enemies that pose no threat to you and clean them with huge sweeping attacks" thing but not much everywhere else

he's huge

For you.

btfo

Yeah, you live in the past we get it you fucking third world shit stain, it's out on the 22nd for civilized people

>hurrrr show me da insane combos even though no one has had time to get good at the game yet xD
The best gameplay I've seen so far is from some Japanese journalist, seems like they actually are into games unlike western journokikes: youtube.com/watch?v=B2jAa_8Rk2Y
Watch the whole video and then dare say it does not allow for very impressive combat.
Keep in mind all footage we have seen, including this, are all from early game with low level character, so we have not even seen how crazy your combos get at higher levels.
>Except get you out of the way of super-telegraphed attacks quicker
You claim to have watched videos of gameplay, but it doesn't sound like you have. Since all of them regularly show people getting completely fucked by spamming dodge, since you NEED to use the correct dodge move depending on how the enemy is attacking. For example the quickstep move that is also in Bloodborne will not protect you from horizontal sweep attacks, you have to jump over those.

>the whole world went crazy with hype
You remember it this way because you were looking for the game. It didn't make a big splash outside of the people who played DeS. DaS on the other hand made them known to people who never played the game. That is the big difference. DaS didn't even become well known outside of those who bought the game until the PC release. "Git gud" is the meme that brought light to the game. Hell it wasn't even the game itself that put it on the map for normalfags.

Some souls vets are about to be in for a rude awakening if they try and play it like souls if this thread is anything to go by.

>8 hours is much in a 60 hours game
Moan and cry all you want you retarded poor weeb.

Yep, he will have a very hard time because he thinks you can play it the same way as Souls.
Very dishonest. You do different attacks by combining other buttons with R1.
youtu.be/Hvb6nJomuXM?t=1789
Watch from 29:49
When you press certain other buttons at the same time as R1, you do a different attack.
As you level up, you can learn new attacks from the talent trees.

>enemy telegraphs an attack
>do back dash and be 30 feet away from the enemy
OMG so hype

Exactly. There was no reason to parry in souls when you could i-frame through everything. Sekiro is a different game.

Soulsfags were the first to moan about DS3 being more of the same, and now when From tries to meaningfully change the nature of the combat they still moan.

>souls vets
pshh nothing personel kids

technically it does, but depends on what you consider an attack
are grabs attacks?
does the button that changes function depending on the situation so that it can be attack/range attack/dodge just not at the same time.

it might be simple inputs (pause combos, forward, back, forwards to back, hold, mash) but it's pretty deep, it all depends on what you do with said buttons.

someone said and i think they might be right, DMC5 dante is the action character with the biggest number of avaliable moves that can be accessed on the fly without going through menus

keep your shitty console war bait elsewhere, we are having a discussion.
GOW is also not 60h

>It didn't make a big splash outside of the people who played DeS
It did though, because of how impressive the game looked in the trailers. That is why DS1 sold far more and far faster than Demon's Souls, it was a huge success on release day already.
You some kind of zoomer that is too young to remember this? Come on now, this was in 2011.
Yeah no shit Dark Souls release made them mega successful and known around the world, but it was because of DeS that DS1 had that exposure to such massive audiences.

>Sekiro has actual build variety, not just a difference between STR or DEX focus.
To be fair, the skills you get aren't really different from spells, items, off-hand weapons and weapon arts from the other games. They're small maneuvers you use sparingly to bypass enemy defenses, fight from range, or do a flashy attack.
>Nice lie. Dodge spamming does nothing in Sekiro
I mean, we have footage of people avoiding attacks by spamming dodge, not that it's the best idea.
>since you have no i-frames.
People who've played it say it feels like you do have i-frames, just less than Souls.
>you have 3 different types of dodge actions and you have to use the correct one depending on how the enemy is attacking.
Not from what we've seen. This is what you're supposed to do, yes, but you can dodge away from unblockables depending on your positioning and reflexes, when you're supposed to deflect/jump.

Doesn't work like that, but you can delude yourself all you want. Would be real funny for the rest of us to see how badly you do at the game considering it sounds like you think you can play it the same way as Souls games.
Even though all footage has proven otherwise, and everyone who tried it has said you are completely fucked if you play it like Souls.

23 =/= 22

Get some therapy you autistic virgin

>stealth kill
>R1 R1 dodge R1 execute
This is the same exact shit I saw. Where are those crazy combos again?

>lives in the us
>thinks its not out on the 22nd
making things up on the internet doesnt make you cool, tardo

Would you guys stop replying to this triple nigger

Nioh 2 is going to blow this game out of the water.

>To be fair, the skills you get aren't really different from spells, items, off-hand weapons and weapon arts from the other games. They're small maneuvers you use sparingly to bypass enemy defenses, fight from range, or do a flashy attack.
[citation needed]
Obviously the samurai tree will give you a fair amount of new attacks to incorporate into combos, since it is a melee focused skill tree.
Customizing combos is more variety than customizing attribute points.
>I mean, we have footage of people avoiding attacks by spamming dodge, not that it's the best idea.
We have far more footage of people getting trashed by the enemies in Sekiro BECAUSE they tried dodge spamming like in DS3.
>People who've played it say it feels like you do have i-frames, just less than Souls.
I trust my eyes more than what people say. What does it even mean "it feels like", either it does or does not, how could that be hard to say. These people played the game, they should be able to tell for sure.
But from seeing a couple hours of footage, sure as hell not a single person avoided taking damage from an attack that visibly hit them during a dodge. Does not seem like it has i-frames. And it would make no sense if it did, there has to be better incentive to deflect attacks than to dodge them.
>Not from what we've seen. This is what you're supposed to do, yes, but you can dodge away from unblockables depending on your positioning and reflexes, when you're supposed to deflect/jump
You're using rare examples of luck, while I'm using examples of what will happen in majority of cases.

Things aren't looking well for us, fellow Sekibros.....

Your stealth attacks are not guaranteed to kill an enemy, only low tier shitter mobs. So they can not really be called stealth kills.
>R1 R1 dodge R1 execute
>unironically whining about how the lowest tier of enemies are easy to take out
Do you also cry and throw a temper tantrum because naked Hollows are easy to kill in Dark Souls games? Awww poor baby.
You didn't even watch the video, because if you had you would not have made this dishonest non-argument, considering it takes the player multiple tries and many minutes to beat two normal enemy ninjas due to how good they are at fighting back.

I am buying the game just to spite Souls fans. I might not even play it.

>That is why DS1 sold far more
The "Dark Souls series" hasn't seen a huge shift in sales. Yeah, sales have improved, but barely. Its acclaim far outweighs its sales.

>You some kind of zoomer that is too young to remember this?
32 years old. Why are you trying to resort to insults? Can't you just have a logical discussion like I'm trying to have?

>DS1 had that exposure to massive audiences
Again just want to point out that it was a meme that gave them exposure. They have NEVER had a massive audience. None of their games have ever performed outside of niche territories, which isn't a bad thing.

I think you are missing my point though. AC was a big hit with its fans well before DeS, and DaS's meme is what made them a household name outside of their fans. So whether you are being conservative or realistic, DeS did not put them on any sort of map.

Maybe if he relied on said crazy combos instead of R1+dodge. Which, by the way, I still haven't seen yet. I'm still waiting here.

>we have our own mentally ill Sekiro-kun
Release is gonna be hilarious

>he keeps lying
I already told you, maybe watch the full video nigger?
You are unironically CRYING about the lowest tier of enemies in Sekiro being not unreasonably hard to kill and fight. The funny thing is, those monks are on the level of above average enemies when compared to a game like DS3, yet these monks are as easy as enemies can get in Sekiro.

Says a lot about how much harder the combat is in this game.

>fund the next Souls game so I can rest easy about pirating this
Thank you.

why would you do crazy combos on easy as fuck enemies
dmc5 is the game for you if you want to do crazy combos on enemies that dont fight back

Based Janny
Someone bake some fresh bread

You're just flat out wrong. You remember wrong.
Few million copies sold is extremely well for any single player game. DS1 was a huge success.
You do realize some insanely popular games like MGS3 for example have sold under 3 million copies?

Dark Souls was a huge hit far before any memes about it existed.

Even after all of this deflection, I still don't have the combo footage. What gives? Surely you've seen it, else you would just be completely talking out of your ass like a fanboy.

PCfags tend to spin things a lot to try and make their dying platform seem relevant

I think he might be retarded. I already told him earlier that those monks are easy tier enemies, and he just repeated the same whiny thing again, demanding complex combos done on easy monk enemies.

Why are you asking a shitposter to stop replying as if you will appeal to their better senses? Doesn't being a shitposter imply they don't have better senses?

Well PC actually has more game sales annually than all the consoles combined. But he does seem to want to spin things to his headcanon where DS1 only got popular 1 year later with PC release and git gud memes, which is absurd. It was an insane mega hit the moment it released on consoles.
