When was the last time Yea Forums got this BTFO by a game? And to think, before release, everyone was saying that it was casualized.

why is everyone sperging about the ogre? he’s piss easy and i absolutely suck at souls games

I feel you, people said to needed to get the fire to fight him, I just side stepped around him spamming attacks and fucked his ass up.

Man butterfly granny was cool, beat her first try though heh, nothin personel

oof

>I just side stepped around him spamming attacks and fucked his ass up.
Sounds like Blood Starved Beast. Everyone was saying he was impossible, but all you had to was dodge into him to the left and hack away.

because the hitboxes on his grab are terrible, they are on par with ds2 ogre grab

The problem might be people playing way too passively. You have to seize every chance you get to deal damage, otherwise you're going to lose any battle of attrition. What's worse is that enemies regenerate Posture over time, and some enemies like Generals have Posture boosts that you have to quickly interrupt.

Again, it happened again. Unaware enemy, jump so I'm above them, no prompt.

They really should've made it so that you can lock onto an enemy and auto-assassinate them like the ass creed because fuck.

just dodge backwards

Does anyone else have issues with getting Whirlwind Slash to come out? Whenever I press both bumpers it just sends out a block or an attack.

good.

The grab hitboxes are bad in every From game.

If you beat the game without dying, she will give you a blowjob

ive already killed it, it doesnt change the fact that its fucking bad
not this bad apart from ds2

Anyone has beaten the Big Monkey? whats the strat

He does have a fair point there. By default when I see that sign in the middle of a fight I just jump backwards rather than go for a real dodge attempt. It does tend to obscure what the NPC is actually doing. Much in the same way those gay little hats obscure the midgets.

I never had that issue

hit it until it dies

It doesn't, evident by all the people getting filtered by the fucking monk boss.

the only problem for me is that you don't have enough time to distinguish if you need to dodge or jump to avoid attack

Attached: 1553083282217.jpg (4032x3024, 1.91M)

It's basically impossible to tell grab from sweeping attacks on some enemies.

Is this true? I've only done the tutorial (im a wagie) and it was way too easy to brute force 1 shot everything.

Still works perfectly fine, having zero issues just skirting around things and landing 1-2 hits before skirting again. Yeah, I COULD parry, and do when I feel like watching cool animations...but ultimately you don't need to.

People are just trying to be greedy. The only real difference is that this game punishes you for attempting to land too many hits in one combo.

That user is correct. Same idea behind most of these games, you can just brute force your way through them with some quick reactions...very little need to do things 'properly'

Based.

It is. As I've said time and again, people play way too passively and allow enemies free damage and recovery while getting very little in return. If you want to win a fight, then fight. The only time you should be hanging back is if you want to study an enemy's moves thoroughly, after which you pile on the attacks and drain Posture.

No it isn't true. All mini bosses and up have super armor attacks that punish you very hard if you get caught. Since you can't dodge or parry in the middle of attack animations you have to get lucky for r1 spam to work.

Sometimes the texture works of the game is painfully low resolution and outright ugly, and some animation works look really dull and unnatural compared to previous soulsborn. In terms of graphics presentation, the game is clearly lower quality than BB.

I am not sure the reason but maybe the game was rushed to be released or it involves in the fact that the game more exploits fields three-dimensionally with higher speed than previous games. In general I would say it is not perfect in any sense, but it surely adds some new flavor into soulsborn series, not so much though.

seriously how do you not fucking check key bindings

No way she dies. There better not be a story reason for her to die. I'll save her from Dragonrot as many times as it takes.

I am going to assume there might be an optional mini-boss and it changes on who you deliver to the medicine fucks in the dungeon. Big strong samurai, or some guy I never found

the game is way too fucking hard for me. I always end up running around with boss and mini bosses. take way too fucking long to kill one

If you put BB and Sekiro side by side, Sekiro probably narrowly wins, but taken in the context of year of release, Sekiro is way less impressive. It just feels like BB/DS3 with a few extra bells and whistles.

NOOOO I DIDNT DO THIS

Fullscreen is borderless.

I don't understand the stealth in this game at all. Even with the enhanced stealth skill, some enemies can simply see you anyway, even if you're 50 feet away and crouched in a bush. Then, even if you're not seen, doing a stealth kill means everyone within a mile knows exactly where you are and are already shooting flaming arrows at you before the animation is even finished. It also seems like every single encounter has at least 5 enemies that all get aggro'd at the same time.

I understand challenge, but so much of this game seems designed to "be hard" as a means of marketing.

Okay I swear to fuck there has to be some way to dive into the water, has anyone found a way?

Talk to the person in the dungeon, they will give you instructions. Go to the Ashina Reservoir and where Wolf wakes up in the tutorial, there is a samurai above the hole.

Holy fuck snake eyes, took me a fucking hour and a half.
Spam jump attacks and poison her

The problem is the quality is inconsistent. While it looks great in some areas, but it looks ugly in some areas as well. The texture works clearly has a flaw.

I think this game exposes people with bad reaction time. I personally don't have enough time to read which attack they are doing and respond appropriately. Feels like all of it happens in a millisecond.

Was this fight peak kino?

I'm getting incredibly pissed at granny ninja. The fight is so fucking tedious. It takes forever to whittle her health down to start getting real posture damage. It's a battle of attrition I can't win. Get to the second phase and then I'm just out at that point.
Also, how the fuck are you supposed to fight Headless? I wasted some confetti already but the fucking curse shit and slowmo kill me every time. Am I missing something here?

She is below with Kuro, go to Kuro's room

As somebody who doesn't like Bloodborne, Dark Souls 2-3, but loves Demon and Dark Souls would I like Sekiro?

Huh, who's the second guy? I kind of zoomed through the castle because fuck those blue guys

Just parry all her attacks and mash in her face to get the posture bar up bro

I don't think you'll like Sekiro then. The pacing of combat is extremely fast, faster DaS3 or even BB.

>The texture works clearly has a flaw.
This applies to BB, too. If you really look around at the environments, you can see that the textures aren't particularly great (the moon in the Hunter's Dream is particularly bad); but the art direction is what saves it. I just think BB has better and more consistent art direction than Sekiro.
Granted, I'm not super far into Sekiro, so it might get better.

does the Dragonrot only spread when you die twice before hitting a checkpoint or when you die and revive?

The rifle guys are scripted to see you from miles away

What does posture do for me?

You’re trying to kill the carp, right? Just stay around it for a while and flail your sword at it, eventually it will hit

Will you not mind using the same weapon the entire game? Bare in mind you can use prosthetic tools, although they require ammo, and there are unlockable combat arts. Also what this user said.

dragonrot only spreads when you die for real, resurrection has no effect on it so dying then running or teleporting back to a statue is a good tactic

No they aren't. And assassinations don't make noise despite the critical hit sfx that plays. Just make sure you're not seen when you kill someone.

I honestly can't decide what i like more, minibosses that force you to use stealth mechanics and employ crowd control or the actual bosses.
Making minibosses that are an actual part of the level is an absolutely amazing decision. You can even stealth the fatass for half of his HP and remove all his gang by spreading them around and stealthing them.

Reminder: This is only in the bad ending (read: you die a lot).

I advise everyone to avoid doing what I did and doing this, I took way too long to adapt and realize I could parry lock Butterfly lady and if I literally just beat Gyoubu, my life would've been ten times easier. Just don't bother, the game doesn't tell you to keep progressing after the bell but just do it. Drunkard guy was actually easy though.

you get items later on in the abandoned dungeon that reduces terror build up and gives you a bit of resistance

Can't beat Headless. Can't beat Snake Eyes.

Should I beat butterfly or the guy with the kid at the top of the castle first?

Terror is insta kill if it builds up, and the Headless is that strong.
You get a Purple Gourd in the Ashina Depths that acts like your healing one, but for Terror. Very useful.

I'd say the combat is nice, but not as satisfying as BB neither as customizable and simple as dark souls. The maps are very well done, the OST is forgettable, the difficulty is through the roof.

My main problem so far is how unsatisfying the main weapon is to use. You fight some enemies with way cooler weapons than yours and it really makes you wish you could get those instead.

Why does my character keep fucking recoiling and putting his arm up when I'm in the middle of a deflect chain jesus christ. Why do some deflects only seem to partially stagger enemies instead of opening them up for a riposte?

I can't wrap my head around posture and deflecting.

Did I get lucky with AI or does that old retard at the top of the castle only have a single move.

I never used summons and Dark Souls was piss easy compared to Sekiro. Journos are also untrustworthy and absolutely worthless

He broke for me as well...

Resurrection. One of them is filled by killing enemies, the other by bonfires. Dying takes away the bonfire one and temporarily prevents you from using the enemy resurrect circle.

>Did the memes come true and they set up a special game journalist difficulty just for them?
I'm pretty sure that is the case.

I was also screaming about this game being hard yesterday but to be honest you get used to it. Slowly. Red warning sign attacks are still bullshit though because you can't always tell which attack it is.

What happens if you manage to take out ginchiro's two HP bars at the beginning of the game?

I don't know what the fuck is wrong with this board, everyone's shitting on the game meanwhile I'm having a fucking blast. It feels like such a breath of fresh air from from. Even though it's a bit easy; beat the first two bosses with relative ease but maybe thats because I've always parried in previous games.

fucking nothing. literally

This board wants Dark Souls 4: The Cycle Continues, even though they all shit on Dark Souls 3 for being bland and unoriginal.

How do I Mekiri counter Genichiros wide swipe attacks?

I can't beat Guardian Ape to save my life.

It's a pain in the butt to get through the first phase even with the cracker arm but that second phase is some next level shit.

He lost, you got a slightly different cut scene with some fag throwing suriken at you and Ginchiro took that chance to cut off your arm, then the fucker even dared to say "muh shinobi honor"

Do bosses continue to be bullshit HP sponges like no other souls game has that also kill you in 2 hits later in game?

>Yea Forums is one person
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with ds3 and would've liked ds4 more than this game thank you very much I'm still having fun with sekiro thoughjust waiting for The Surge 2

you don't
you jump on top of him

you can always try to 2 tap dodge backwards away from those and hope for the best
unless you hit dodge one too many times after letting go of directional stick so that wolf takes a neutral leap forward right within the attack swing.

you can't counter sweeps, have to jump and kick them in the head

It really sucks, it feels like the only people starting and primarily engaging in these threads are assblasted pvp shitters trying to tear down the game.

Was the spear stripping armor just a complete bait? It was useless against the knight.

Just gotta ignore them

The drunkard? Stealth does actually work. Kill the mobs and let him chase you until he can't see you, he'll turn back and start going into position, sneak behind him while he does that for 1 backstab, then just wing the rest of it with hit n run until he's dead.

I don't even know where the NPC is, just saw him slaughter something in the distance, was that it?

Really good, I didn't think the fast paced combat would be okay with PVP but using the grappling hook after breaking their posture feels seamless and awesome, usually leads into me killing them too. Don't ever invade me.

>use mikiri counter
>does more damage to my posture than to the enemy's
Nice one miyazaki

Main problem in this game is the retarded difficulty spikes
One moment you're slaughtering shitty bandits one by one, the next you're hit with a miniboss and like 6 adds that are placed in such a way you literally can't use stealth against them

People are having legitimate questions but no one is bothering to answer them and instead you just go back and forth with complainers.

Keep clashing with granny and when you see the clash effect having a slightly more intense, redder color that means she perfect blocked you, back off because she'll do a retaliation, then you can hit her. It usually comes after 2 clashes, 3rd one is her perfect parry, sometimes she does it after 1 though so beware of her RNG.

Basically keep wailing on her with evade strikes and do the above until her 1st phase is done.

When she enters her 2nd phase, go near the place she'll land and keep wailing on her, she will try to get away to summon illusions but if you keep interrupting her she wont. Got her posture to half before she managed to summon and then kept raising slowly, then tanked her with axe and got her.

She's shitty but she's beatable.

Also what exactly was not fair about what he did? He simply used the mechanics the game gave him to use to beat an enemy.

Weeeell, about that...there's hundreds of thousands of 100% Japanese people, especially in Hokkaido, who have dark to light brown hair and lighter brown to hazel and rarely, but not impossibly, green eyes. This was even more common in the past, but the traits are disappearing because the majority of Japanese have black hair and "black" eyes. I can vouch for this not just being a rumor btw, I studied abroad for 5 months in Sapporo. Our school was strict about no dyed hair or contacts and there was at least one person in every class who had visibly lighter hair, and many more who had visibly lighter hair when put under direct sunlight. Two girls from a different school that were friends with my host sister both had naturally light brown hair and one had hazel eyes, the other light brown eyes. Both 100% Japanese.

for the adds in the 2nd phase

Consider where you are when the danger sign comes up. If you have decent spacing it's going to be a lunge or jump attack, if you are up close it's likely a grab or a sweep. This works most of the time and you can, with a bit of knowledge, make it a 50/50 if you truly can't react fast enough. Getting some spacing is generally good though and makes it easier to react. Go in and attack ham until they deflect then back off, deflect and dodge their blows. Either they go in for a red after that which, with range you know what it will be, or they stop attacking and you can go in.

Nice game fromtards

Every boss seems like THAT boss if the threads are anything to go by

No, they make games easier for journalists. Vertical slices, this a new concept for you?

I'm confused, I just beat the Drunkard, but I died to him, ressurected. Died again cause I fucked up a deflect, and then I could ressurect again. The NPC did die while fighting him, so maybe that's why?

I bet you it’s the same kind of people who never uses the tools and then thinks Ogre is the toughest shit

It’s a thrust attack. Shit can’t be guarded but can be deflected.

Genichiro is actually kino. Most of Yea Forums is just too casual for him.

Yeah that's it, it's not that you're fucking garbage or anything. Sure thing.

Oh that’s all I need to know then. I don’t mind exploring. I just don’t want to fight that old cunt yet.

Nope, took me around 3 or 4 tries to beat the Ogre and it was piss easy

WHERE THE FUCK DO I BUY THE ANTI AIDS?

I like to imagine Sekiro making a very smug face when he's taking a sippy mid-combat

So it is a new concept to you. Welcome to video games.

How the FUCK do you kill Sashimi Warrior or something? The one with all the ghosts.

Yeah, they make my games easy but they make yours tough because you're so good at them lmao get the fuck outta here

What the fuck am I supposed to do with buttefrly red sign attack when she crouches and lunges at you? It is non-blockable and non-dodgeable.

Just so you're aware, the feather prosthetic allows you to enter a sort of invincible state that will teleport you above the attackers head after you get hit by one of their attacks, any attacks after you're impervious to until you land on the ground, before you land you can get at least 2 hits in.

jump

>Parry
is it like in mgr?

I mean the player character ability

>All you fuckers still stuck on Butterfly or the Ogre so the people actually fighting the hard bosses don't get any help.

Actual brainlet.

Is jump necessary in combat a thing? From can go fuck themselves with 3 different buttons for defense mechanics each of which are supposed to be used on reflexes.

Way more forgiving I’ll say. But the catch is that is not the only defensive thing you have to do in the middle of a battle if you want to kill anything within reasonable time.

youre a bit retarded lad

Not really necessary but jumping and bopping off from the enemy’s head when they are doing a sweep attack will do a lot of posture damage. Which is kinda necessary against some bosses that regens that shit way too fast.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Sekiro's combat so far. I like how they've implemented movement like jumping and the use of the grappling hook. The prosthetic arm seems neat aside from the Shuriken which basically seems like a more expensive use throwing knife and I'm not exactly sure how to get the most out of it. Other than that though, I'm not a fan of being limited to one weapon and one armor set. Although I'm in the beginning of the game, the new combat additions in Sekiro don't make up for the loss of character customization in my opinion. The focus on deflection also generally isn't enticing to me. It feels like the focus on the equivalent to parrying to succeed feels kind of boring in practice and not as smooth when dealing with groups. I'm not entirely sure I understand the red sign danger attacks either. They're just super attacks that can be deflected or dodged? I've deflected a few, but I didn't see any noticeable pay off. I guess it does more posture damage? I'd generally prefer more straightforward damage in the game rather than deflect enough to see animation of Wolf stabbing someone.

So exactly how should i approach 1v1 fights, do i keep spamming L1 until i break the enemies posture or do i attack sometimes, because everytime i try to get in 2 or 3 hits i end up getting fucked for half of my hp

The hardest fight so far is that faggot ninja in the purple cloak

it took me 3 tries, first time i got absolutely bodied by her kick combo, second time i was able to get her down one bar but died second bar, and third time i stealthed her first bar and was able to kill her by popping a sugar and going mong mode

Do you want an award or something? fuck off towelhead

Yeah I think we are done here, later loser.

>i cant read and i must scream
ok

make sure you beat him tho, he's guarding a sick prosthetic

after 2 hours i bring you wisdom, keep on his ass, do 2 attacks and see what he does parry whatever he throws at you

in his first hp bar, when he jumps and youre close he will always do a drop attack and then a unblockable thrust

second hp bar, whenever he jumps he will more thann likely do a wide unblockable swing, dodge back then do a heavy attack

second form i have no gameplan since i got lucky
