I only played the first one but I found it impossibly boring so never bothered with the rest.
I will never understand why people worship this series while giving shit to your average Bioware RPG; they're the same thing.

people worship the 3rd game (the one you havent played) not the series retard.

Really? I tried 1 because Yea Forums literally didn't shut up about it.

3 is actually a pretty great game. The series as a whole gets a lot of nostalgic appreciation, but no one is ever going to pretend 1 and 2 aren't prime Eurojank.

The first game was on par with the old Bioware games that is true. But holy fuck the crazy Poles raised the bar with each installment. Played all 3 at launch and it’s one of my favorite series, maybe I should read the books some day.

Doubt it. My experience with 1 convinced me that The Witcher games aren't good videogames. Maybe they're neat walking / conversation simulators for fans of "realistic fantasy" but that's it.

>But you haven't played 3! How can you judge it based on another game
The games on a series, regardless of quality, share the same core, essence (unless we have situations like Resident Evil 4 compared to 1-3). I saw no value on The Witcher's core.

thats the enhanced edition

I see no value in the post of a brainlet

I was indifferent about the story; it was the typical plot you see on a fantasy book. I just found it horrid to play and you spend a lot of time just talking to people and running errands.
The most fun I had with the game was exploring that swamp searching for those rocks to activate the teleporter thing. And punching drunks for coins in the inn.

Maybe not sure as fuck, but they were better.

This is the most Yea Forums NPC list I have seen. Absolutely cringe and disgusting

Actually, this list is pretty good. But i will put something else in 2008. Not because DMC 4 is bad or something, if not, i just feel that there are just a few amount of better games in that year. Also, i will put Rune Factory 3 in 2009.

That's because witcher fans are the same retarded fanbase that once followed Bioware.

video games can tell incredible stories or deliver incredible experiences while still focusing on the game aspect. They don't need to ape movies to do so like a lot of AAA GOTY-bait games do. That's what does the medium a disservice, not an user on Yea Forums calling Last of Us 2 horseshit.

if it turns out to be an actual GOTY contender, thats fine. TLOU was a good game, and the story did fuck with me when i first played it, but its not the revolutionary masterpiece people make it out to be. it was a fucking cover shooter, just like uncharted, with a tear jerker story and some spoopy monsters. there is no reason to believe the second one will be better, especially since the motherfucker making it is actively and loudly against making "fun" video games.
i'd rather play streets of rage for the 4000th time than force myself to slog through a game that is actively preaching political agendas of any kind, regardless of the fucking metacritic score. thats what movies are for, and i don't waste my time with those, either.

>he thinks videogames having cutscenes is an outstanding accomplishment worthy of goty
Nigger videogames should strive for max interactivity. That's why Nier got robbed. It tells all its story through interactivity, even big hitting decisions aren't relegated to a dialogue choice or cutscene you just watch.

Only Rockstar does that.

More repetitive gameplay than RE2 due to all of the good Dark Souls features being stripped out of the game. It'll still be great and worth playing, but GOTY? No... just no.

Because DMC5's skill ceiling is absurdly high. Lack of RPG elements also allows for a much higher level of curation when designing enemies, since they don't need to account for arbitrary stat differences between characters.

accurate

I've bought it three times and it still doesn't feel like enough

I swear everytime i think i've seen one of the dumbest video game related posts on Yea Forums, someone else says something even more retarded.
You think only RPGs have replay value? How ignorant can you possibly be. You're on a fucking video game forum how can you be this clueless and dense about video games that shit makes no sense.

but even if you take into account lack of stats, enemies can only have so many responses against you doing specific actions, which are gonna be limited to what weapon you're using. it's going to be easier to choreograph a solution than if you were to approach enemies with different styles of combat .

RPG mechanics are pretty vital to replay value in an action oriented game, mainly due to the limited complexity of AI. it's not that hard to grasp and not a reason to throw a hissy fit.

The mass public doesnt give a flying fuck about depth, though. I think the two contenders will be Cyberpunk and Sekiro unfortunately. Casuals slobber on FromShaft, and Cyberpunk will be the only contender because >muh cyberpunk

Dark Souls III deserves a spot on 2016.

more hours have been spent playing DS1 2 3 and Bloodborne than the entire DMC series

making it more curated makes it more limited. part of the appeal of souls games were their malleability. if sekiro is a straight up action game it's gonna be far less varied per playthrough than any of the previous souls games.

(((you)))

Cyberpunk is not going to be releasing this year and Sekiro is going to be too hard for normies to get in to. Especially now that they can't summon white bros to help carry them through the game.

not even remotely, most action games don't have any RPG mechanics and are very replayable. RPG mechanics can help with replayability, but they're not the end-all be-all

Hitman, Doom, or Furi deserve to get far more than DaS3

not even a little bit

But it's retarded and has no sound basis. Nobody who actually plays and cares about video games should ever hold such a ridiculously stupid and nonsensical opinion.
Yeah RPG mechanics give games lots of replay value but that's not the only thing. Many games have replay value for many reasons.
People already mentioned DMC games as an example as further playthroughs you will be more proficient at the combat and thus can rack up higher scores and be more flashy for pure fun. People replay shit like metal gear solid games all the time to do different kind of runs like non lethal. Some games have new game+ modes. Some games have higher difficulties that actually change things like different enemies at earlier points or with new abilities and such. There's a lot of things that make a game replayable.

I know this is Yea Forums and it's gone down the shitter in recent years but still, seeing someone who is supposed to be a video game enthusiast say something so utterly retarded and out of touch is simply disgusting.

It's not about the number of hours spent but rather the replay VALUE. You can spend thousands of hours playing Nu-God of War. Doesn't mean that it has good replay value due to an inherent lack of depth. All Soulsborne games can be mastered after a reasonable amount of time. However, a game like DMC5 will only be played to its full potential by a select few players. Look at the number of players that platinumed DMC4SE and compare that to Dark Souls 3 for instance.

I like you

>making it more curated makes it more limited.
Not if there's a lot of depth to the fundamentals of the game. Souls game rely on enemy encounter and play style breadth which isn't a problem, but it makes your second playthrough a lot less engaging because you are already familiar with all the enemy encounters in the level. Souls game are best replayed, for me, after a year or so when I've forgotten enough for them to be fresh. With action games, I immediately jump back into them because your first playthrough is basically the tutorial.

I'm not sure how fleshed out Sekrio's combat is. Hopefully, it's not like Nioh which was a poor man's action game and a poor man's Souls game.

You're conflating replayability with mechanic depth. Souls doesn't succeed in being replayable because of mechanical depth, but because there's a breadth of options for combat that feel sufficiently different, along with the intricacies of online multiplayer.

If you want to say that DMC games are better than Souls because the combat is deeper, that's a different argument.

All I'm saying is that cigarette is way too small. I think this is shopped.

20K copies sold of the physical collector's edition

I really hope the Sekiro world is dense with random cool items/secret places and not just bone dry. Of all the bait thats been going around I hope this one in particular isn't true.

will there be a Moonlight sword attachment for your arm?

It is. Tons of weird NPCs you can talk to and places to explore

I was under the impression that it was slated to release this year, so that's my bad. And I didn't realize people summoned more often than not in From games. Disregard what I said then.

I WOULD agree with you if I found Sekiro's combat to be sufficiently deep to replace the breadth of options in Souls games, but I am unconvinced. The main mechanic of the game (posture) is just timing blocks, but it's functionally making block and parry the same command. So now, enemy encounters play out as either dodging (decentivized) or block/parrying (incentivized) defensively, which isn't a whole lot more complex than a regular Souls game. That means the game will live or die by the sheer variety of moves from ONE weapon. And let's not forget that even DMC games have multiple playstyles and weapons baked into their combat.

So, we've established that all the breadth of options from previous Souls games have been sacrificed for a fraction of the theoretical depth of a DMC game. Good exchange.

>there's a breadth of options for combat that feel sufficiently different, along with the intricacies of online multiplayer.
DMC5 has that as well. See: Dante. Watch two players handling him and you'll observe how they have unique playstyles due to his freeform moveset. Additionally it includes a dash of multiplayer that will be fully fleshed out once the all-but-confirmed CO-OP Bloody Palace releases. Plus the godly mechanical depth to back it all up.

So does anything once it approaches release.

So does anybody have any video, images or knowledge of the late to mid-game? Any images of the interesting bosses from the trophies like the dragon or demon boss? Any information of a twist? Or are no leakers that far yet?

Remember when games having replay value meant they were fun to play?

This reply gave me a raging semi. Source by any chance?

How long until it gets cracked?

Week and a half tops

I didn't figure out the summon/invasion mechanics in any souls game until I finished 3 and that was after my 3rd playthrough.

People summon a lot for bosses.
During peak hours I wouldn't have to wait more than 15 seconds to be summoned for Dancer.

It's too early to tell
Also
>non Nintendo/Japanese game ever winning GOTY

I've been ignoring most videos on the game, so I can't really comment on the combat system because I don't know a whole lot about it; but I'd wager there's got to be a decent amount to it. From were already on track with things like Trick Weapons, which could be tricked mid string (this didn't really add any depth, but it added a bit of nuance to certain weapons) and Weapon Arts. From are also very good at crafting unique and diverse enemy encounters. Even though you handle every Souls encounter by pressing O and R1, it never feels repetitive because of how the enemies play out.

Also what this guy said. I replay Zelda games all the time even though they wouldn't be considered, on paper, to have much replay value. I just think they're fun.

Not including the pvp of the previous games, which turned out to be the most fun aspect of the games.
Nothing comes close to the rush of a good invasion

You saw the headless demon in the cave? On the way to the cave you’ll find warning notes that lead to it and warn against going there

Is it just me or does it seem like based on what we've seen, Sekiro doesn't have the "IT" factor that makes you go holy shit!
What are the chances that mid-way through the game some utterly dark and crazy shit happens that completely changes how you perceive the game similar to Bloodborne?
I'd like to believe that FROMSOFT has more than a few surprises in store and it won't be just a predictable Japanese Fantasy story about a Samurai seeking revenge. The concept of Dragon-rot points towards this.

I'm just trying to say that the Souls games had replayability with their options AS WELL AS how fun the base game was. It's not an all-or-nothing deal. But now Sekiro is taking away a lot of those options. That's all I'm saying. I mourn the depth AND variety the game could have had.

It went from werewolves to AYY LMAO

it went from vampires and werewolves type horror to cosmic horror

Right. No matter how well-developed the enemy AI is in Sekiro, it will never be able to match the sheer unpredictability of a real player. There's a reason why the invasion mechanic from Souls has been copied by other devs such as in the upcoming Doom.

>danteshit or RE being GOTY ever

Ebrietas was the coolest fucking design. Everything about getting to the end of the upper cathedral ward was so good

the netcode in 2/3 is actually pretty fucking good, it's as fair as it gets with peer to peer without going full input based(that would be unplayable with no matchmaking)
there is no matchmaking based on latency at all

Cathedral Ward on NG+, when you have enough Insight to see them.

it could happen if the shine comes off TLOU2

RE was GOTY in 2002, though.

FUUUUUUUUCK I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 9 PM TOMORROW SON OF A FUCKING BITCH

It is a little worrying. Some nu-God of War influence or something. I'm still giving them the benefit of the doubt for now, though.

Not until release day. Activision didn't send out review copies.

next week becasue they're cowards of consensus

When did I say it was bad? Also, that clip isn't a "cinematic boss", so it doesn't even make sense to compare them. Cinematic gameplay and QTE isn't characteristic of a From game.

How is the fps for base PS4s?

That wasn't what I was saying in any way, shape, or form. The reason people generally dislike cinematic shit and QTE is because it minimizes player involvement. It's predetermined, like a movie, it's not a result of your direct input. It has nothing to do with whether or not it looks bad. I'm sure a lot of people would even argue they prefer jank if it meant they had unconditional control over the character, but that's really besides the point anyway.

Being a stitty oscar bait is not an accomplishment.

yes!! these little shits and that turbo nigger ebrietas made me take a two month break from playing BB lol. I kinda wanna replay it and finally finish the DLC, especially since BB got me into cosmic horror and I've recently read The Shadow Over Innsmouth. But fuck, I don't know if I have the patience or reflexes to make it anymore.

If Ebrietas made me foam like a literal retard from anger and Friede made me quit DS3 do I really have what it takes to finish The Old Hunters? Be honest

Monster hunter World is the definition of Tedious. More-so than Red Dead.

Where is the QTE you fucking retard?

Based.

They wanna get a response for a brief rush of dopamine while giggling and whispering "I was only pretending to be retarded, teehee!". Stop giving them attention.

Orphan is the only boss I found challenging and he's the final boss. Pic related is harder than any boss in the DLC.

Attached: Shark_Giant_Towering.jpg (1920x1080, 235K)

I'm not saying that God of War didn't have a great combat system, but it did take a cinematic narrative/QTE approach in a few sections of the game. It's been a while since I finished it, but I remember some of the boss fights involving QTE-esque things. Isn't there a fight where you're back to back with the boy and you have to predict when one of the bosses is going to charge you or attempt to break through your shield? Shit like that. I prefer the typical Soulsborne boss fights that are 100% just you and the enemy until the end. I'd rather not see things like above in Sekiro. Just personal preference.

wtf? it looks like of batman arkham asylum combat style. why the fuck this shit is called an rpg?

>streamers get the game for free and can stream a full 2 days in advance

kind of hurts when i see someone who doesnt give a shit playing so early

how much twitch paid from software for this?

So if you pre-order you can pick up the game tomorrow in store (GameStop?) at 9pm?

I didn't talk about the skill trees anywhere in the post?

theyre both tedious but in wildly different ways.
MHW has a lot of grind and samey missions. RDR2 has a lot of fucking cutscenes and weirdly on-rails missions that don't give the player any freedom to fuck around.

both have a lot of animation priority tho

nothing. it's free publicity in times where retarded millenials watch other faggots playing game like they people watched cartoons in the past.

damn game comes out at round that time for my region. would like to read reviews and still have the chance to preload

2shark in well was harder

The DLC has some tough bosses. All except for Living Failures will likely give you a test. Personally I think Laurence is the hardest because those combos just keep coming, then in the final phase he shits lava out of the only place that would be safe to attack him, and the arena is too narrow. Use a SS for Friede.

I went into an apoplectic rage because of these guys. Maybe the maddest I've ever been in my life.

Confirm your pre order at 6pm and get a ticket if you don't wanna stand in line. Pick up at 9pm

And MHW has “freedom to fuck around”? Lmao

This.

I think it releases midnight here

steam says 1 day and 12 hours for me

not sure how that works cause others will be playing by tomorrow morning

holy shit I almost forgot how W3 combat was the worst part of it all.

I've check my preload timer and it says 9PM (or more specifically however many hours are left). I'm on the west coast btw

lol thx. I've seen those whale dudes on youtube, they've got no chill at all.

I should've mentioned that I've played all of the souls games to completion (minus the DLC for DS2, 3 and BB) without learning how to parry properly lol. I just always do a Guts build or something like that and roll around like a retard on ketamine. Will that do the trick for The Old Hunters? The last time I tried to play that shit even the regular hunter enemies kicked my shit in so hard I gave up before I even found the first boss. I may have been underleveled tho, I went for the DLC as soon as it became available if I remember correctly... I was kinda inpatient to play the DLC cuz I had already beaten the main game once before.

oh what is SS btw? Straight swords? I tried Gotthard Twinswords vs Friede after like 20 failed attemps with the GATSU greatsword but still got rekt hard in the 3rd phase

Attached: azumangaosaka.jpg (1280x960, 168K)

This is crazy. Steam is telling me 1 day 11 hours, which would put it at 11AM on Friday. Maybe a VPN to unlock early?

you should have taken the PS4 pill

the game seems ok but there is no "wow" factor like bloodborne.

store.steampowered.com/app/814380/Sekiro_Shadows_Die_Twice/?cc=jp
notice how on the japanese store the game releases at 9 AM PST tomorrow. just use a vpn to set your region to japan and double click the game in your library tomorrow at 9 AM PST. either it will work or it won't.

well its regional and steam has a countdown

Attached: 1526358290149.png (664x476, 60K)

Yeah, straight sword. UGS is just too slow to reliably punish without getting countered. She's too fast. I went through the game with Lothric UGS, but had to switch to SS for Friede and NK like a shitter. After probably 30 attempts on Friede and 50+ on NK, I switched to a longsword and got them within a few more tries. It's like changing the difficulty to very easy.

Basically only Maria and Orphan can be parried out of the bosses in the DLC, and for them it is all about the quicksteps anyway, imo.

I'd argue that the lack of freedom to fuck around is way more of a problem in RDR2 than in MHW. MHW doesn't ever greet you with a MISSION FAILED screen because you pointed your weapon at the wrong NPC. they're still both good games though, I'm just sayin

Thanks frens

When does it release in Japan?

nobody has shown anything beyond the first area yet

steam says 'X hours from now' but it's always actually X+1 hours. when you get 'approximately 1 hour remaining' it goes to 'less than an hour remaining' after that hour is done if memory serves. so it's 10 hours from 10 PM PST, which is 8 AM not 9 AM.

What don't you like about it?

shit I'll give that a try then, ty for the tips. I'll beat the DS3 dlc and then The Old Hunters

NK can eat a dick btw. Beating him with the Gatsu sword after like 40 or 50 attempts felt so good I almost got hard for a moment

>on launch

Be sure to launch the game in offline mode to avoid any reports.

Why is it like this?

Most timers that don't go as low as seconds round down, at least the ones on every stove I've ever had in my life have.

>REGIONLOCKKEY FAGS ARE FALSEFLAGGERS
Are you sure? If you go to the JP store page for sekiro it says it will unlock in like 11 hours, but if you go to the regular store page with a JP VPN it says 1 day 11 hours. If anything I'd assume the jap keys are region locked.

Because it's not some bombastic AAA cinematic movie walking simulator broken up by drama and deep as a puddle combat controls

So it's 9am PST, but it says 9 hours from now so isnt that 7am PST? Am I fucking retarded?

It's been that way for a lot of games. Its why you can use aussie time on some releases or Jap time to unlock games early. I've done it with RE2 and FO4

Regional. I still have to wait 34 hours.

Always do the opposite of what Yea Forums says

no multiplayer. I don't mean I want it, I mean objectively speaking it's probably not going to be remembered in 3 months because it's got no multiplayer and as such, it won't be worthwhile streamer bait. It might get a goty award in the way god of war did but I don't think it's going to be topping most normalfaggots' lists without multiplayer. Unfortunately just a fact of the times.

How close to the bonfire were you when the invader touched you, user?

Very far while I decimated them because most of them had absolutely no clue how to fight against caestus.

why are people acting like multiplayer games are the only games that get remembered

DMC 5 is already out

From aren't allowed a goty

Theres a good chance Cyberpunk is coming out this year.

at 5 seconds?

Multiplayer games have much more longevity because believe it or not not everyone goes back after beating a game without multiple endings just to try a new weapon. There isn't a single game without multiplayer in the top 20 on steamcharts right now because everyone stops playing them within a week after release.

you sound like an EA suit wanting to squeeze longevity and money out of every game for years

this. ive completed new vegas 6 times and still think modern warfare 2 was a better game for 2010.

Fuck off, Dark Souls had longevity because it was both an RPG and had co-op/PVP, it wasn't just a single-player action game. Supplemental multiplayer and the RPG systems gave it immense replay value.

Character creation is fun.

I agree, but they're not the only thing that's fun about games. They're not a deal breaker if the games have other redeeming qualities.

it's true though, it's literally just some meme stats that barely matter, might as well just have had weapon upgrades only considering respeccing is a thing
