SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE

I think it's ok. I wish the fagboy prince was a cute princess instead. But oh well. Wolf is pretty badass.

It's soul but with soul

It isn't an issue if it isn't the ONLY mechanic in the game.

It's Souls but with Ninjas

it's hard
i rage but then i kill the boss and feel good
feels like the first time i played souls all over again

where can i pirate this?

Lirik is such a soulless streamer I can't even be bothered to watch him even with the promise of free subs.

Can you still get gifted if you're following but not watching?

On the Internet

No you have to engage in chat at least once and be watching when the gifts are given

This game is exposing all the fucking retards that beat dark souls because they cheesed it and it's hilarious
9/10 for me sometimes I feel like the thrust counter is completely random but it's probably because I'm not good at it

too hard
spent 3 hours on the sumo and left after a few tries on lady
spending so much time on every encounter is just not fun

Forgotten in 1 months top/10

Its one of my favorite games ever solely for how amazingly it exposed Soulsfags as being the biggest shitters on this board. Go to any Sekiro thread and its just constant whining about how the game is too hard. Its kind of pathetic.

I used a trainer to become invincible and and it still took me around 10 minutes of hitting to kill her. How the fuck are you supposed to kill her normally when she has more HP than a god, can 1 combo kill you, summons groups of enemies and has ranged attacks?

Is this what soulsdrones call a good game?

I don't know what it is, but I just can't read the fucking attacks of elite enemies.
I guess I'm just too bad at the game.

I dont even know who all these streamers are. just opened twitch to see how good gameplay is and saw that boasting streamer get rekt lmao.

Does anyone know if you're supposed to kill everyone in the game? They give you all of these cool traversal mechanics to get past people, only to have eight people in a room and only one way to pick them off. It feels like the game doesn't know how it wants me to play it.

yeah this is what I dislike
boss fights are too long and making one mistake is almost certain death
at least in dark souls I could grind to make it more bearable, I don't have to patience to learn for hours patterns that are random and hard to read
i can just play another game and have fun instead

They disguise their ineptitude by trying to say the game is bad. Saying blanket statements like its unfun and no replayability. Theres even a trainer already out for fucks sake.

So its simply too hard for you. Its ok. Plenty of easier games for you to play out there :)

We are children you lifeless old man

The game tells you exactly how to fight her.

Is she in the air? Go for shurikens

Have a long window to attack? Use the axe

it's very simple to fight her, swing swing swing, she parries, goes for a kick, parry the kick swing swing. When she jumps away block the shurikens and react accordingly.

Second phase is all about lowering her HP so she doesn't regain too much poise during her summon move, use your thrust attack and dodge attacks, you know like the game tells you.

it's hard but if you git gud you shouldn't have too many issues

wait for people to get past their initial assmad at being bad at a hard game before considering legitimate feedback. Im past mine. Games good, if your frustrated youll turn into a robot trying hard to exploit mechanics and end up losing anyway. First real boss is easy, minibosses can be harder than real bosses, hard to figure out areas your intended to be in, useful character progression. So far promising, maybe a lack of enemy variety but Ive only got two areas unlocked and both are normal dudes with weapons and different movesets, and big ogres.

>Game is trivialized by backing off and spamming thrust attack to break poise
>But takes 10 hours per boss fight

Bad design

Exactly! We zoomers know its better to watch other people play games than play games ourselves.

>15 minutes

more like kill the dudes on the way to the boss instead of skipping them, gett gud it takes like no time at all.

I'll be so happy when the advertising budget for shill threads runs out.

>newly released video games thread on Yea Forums
>"shill shill shill!"
every time. a wojak thread died for this.

Feels like kind of a mess. Like the different parts don't play well together. Stealth is mediocre by stealth game standards and when it's time to shift from stealth kills to action combat against the guys you didn't take out silently the game shits the bed. The posture/parry system is a lot of fun when you get to fight a humanoid boss/mini-boss that the whole thing was clearly designed around but then they throw stuff like the Ogre and Bull at you that don't care about any of those mechanics and play out like a Souls boss in a game clearly not designed with that concept in mind. There's potential in the platforming that comes out during segments like when you have to avoid the giant snake but the game hardly ever does anything with it besides that one time.
Overall it's ok but doesn't really shine despite the potential in the core mechanics.

Way too difficult, 6/10.

Fromsoft did good, look at all the assblasted faggots on Yea Forums bitching about "oh I used a trainer and it still took me an hour this is bullshit!". Bunch of goddamn casuals and reddit on this board

It ran on far worse GPUs in 1080p with tolerable framerates, as people in older threads pointed it out.

It's no matterpiss

So yet another dark souls?

Bloodborne is perfectly playable without parrying. In fact parrying makes it way harder in a lot of fights.
This trash goes all in with the parrying and made the entire combat system dependant on it.
And the fact that vicerals are often unavoidable is annoying. I hate sudden camera changes and a loud BADUMMM sfx playing trying to impress me. Just let me control the game, faggots!

How the fuck do I beat the drunkard?
Why would they put 100 regular guys in there too?

9/10 it's shit and too hard

Mine's downloading, any tips? I beat Bloodborne and DeS, DaS 1-2.

horse rider guy was the easiest encounter in the game so far. i was surprised

Hard truth : Nioh is a lot better than this.

You can stealth kill some of them, reset by running away/losing LoS and stealth kill more.
The only sudden camera changes I've had were when enemies jump around like Lady Butterfly's aerial perilous attack.

I just hate how mini-bosses chunk the shit out of your HP. This bitch deals more damage than Genchiro did, while doing combos that fully fuck your posture if you block instead of parry, and she has an escape that makes her intangible.

I honestly don't know how people watch big streamers, they are always so obnoxious and loud and swear every other second it would make donte blush. now the smaller streamers thats comfy

These people are shitters user. They're talking about spending 3 hours on minibosses and shit. The type of people who played all the souls games turling with a greatshield. They'll repeat the same brainlet tactic on a boss for hours because they can't think and play a game at the same time. I appluad fromsoft for switching it up a bit, if they had made dodging more applicable we'd just see everyone saying too casual activision'ed/10 like they were pre-launch

Take out the randomly generated loot from Nioh, and the rehashed levels to fill out the mission select, and it would be. I don't know why people love the Diablo shit in an action game like Nioh. Tons of trash loot, most of it garbage, most upgrades tend to be minor stat improvements. The rehashing of the actual levels just makes you speedrun on your first playthrough. Game had very few weapon types, and since loot was generated there was nothing to find on the side worth a damn

It feels pretty uninspired, tbqh, and also, I'm getting nioh flashbacks more than I would like to.

I tried my best user but he ded

I'm enjoying it more than dmc5.

I said a LOT OF fights.
If enough fights prove to be more difficult doing the parry strat than just meleeing/magic, then I won't like that mechanic. It doesn't matter if it's better for most boss fights. I refuse to use various strats in a single playthrough. Sticking to the same strat is what makes replaying the game fun. If I have to minmax every bossfight and use the one thing that i suppsoed to work there, then the game is shit.
That's why DS1-3 were good games. Bloodborne was pushing that play style variety, but it was still tolerable. Sekiro is complete garbage and went further into the wrong direction.

he's pretty ezpz. Get your best bro to keep drunkard busy while you clean up the small timers. After that just stick to him and punish whenever he pulls out the liquor

You get a spear tool that is supposed to do that, but I also didn't see the point

someone whos never played souls:

I love everything about it. Very videogamey, very difficult, very fucking fun to play

>Pause to heal
What a stupid fucking mechanic.
You may as well just make the player auto heal.

It's the new meme game. Tryhards will praise it because of the whole Muh Difficulty and Muh Casual Filter stance. It's given the "Lol Git Gud" crowd a new game to laud over everyone so it will be regarded as GOTY. The reality is that it's pretty barebones, basic combat and overall a very shallow, but at times, fun game

No one struggles with phase 1 though

Why do I have to press a button to acquire souls from dead enemies? Shit's absolutely retarded

Not even gonna torrent. Game looks like garbage.

enjoying it so far. Im still pretty shit at the game though. The new control scheme is screwing me up a bit and im afraid if i change them in the options im going to have even more trouble

btw how do you kill that purple ninja dude? he keeps kicking my ass

fucking great game, no zoomers allowed

I think it's the other way around. Nioh had awful levels and combat felt like Diablo rather than an action game.

It's not as fun as souls games or Nioh.

I miss being able to run wacky builds

clear out the small guys and then activate your buddy. he can the tank the whole encounter and not die

Phase 2 is the same thing except dodging the white lights that damage through block. She gets one new combo attack that you can full block and jump+jump kick her since it always ends in a sweep

where do i find that? just killed him by whittling his health with the axe, what a shit boss

He intimidated the hell out of me until I realized I could block/parry all of his attacks. Also helps that I was replaying Ninja Gaiden Black leading up to launch I suppose. Getting my ass kicked as a ninja feels second nature these days.

You just hold it and loot every enemy in the area

YOOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo

bland, uninspired, boring, and can be easily exploited by simply button mashing the parry button. This is also an extremely watered down and casualized game. There are some tight walkway sections with invisible walls so you cannot fall off, there is also too many tutorials and button popups. It would have been neat to discover the wall jump section naturally, but as soon as your character comes across the section a tutorial pops up showing you how to wall jump.

t. got his shit pushed in by spear horse for hours and quit git gud

good
need more games like these

Depends on the specs of your average PC. You could also pirate to test the performance.

get the spear add on

loaded spear

Case in point

Can your pc run the game at 1080p above low-med settings? Cause that's basically console performance

i hated it last night when i was getting my ass kicked. unseen aid down to 12%. then i came back and killed 2 mini bosses and 2 bosses and stabbed sasukes snake in the eye so I'm liking it again

beat him without it but where do i find it?

>Stealth kill shield guy
>Drunkard aggros
>Run away, Drunkard resets but stay forward so you can stealth kill one of his two life bars
>Run away again, Drunkard is the only one that chases
>Lead him to samurai bro and double team him
The fact that every single enemy in this game can be cheesed by running away until they reset speaks to how shitty the design is.

Pirated it to try it out, anyone knows how to make a DS4 controller to be recognized? i tried adding it as a non-steam game on steam and using DS4windows, but it's not getting recognized for some reason

>everyone is cheesing every boss
this is huge red flag for how you designed your game

So, what's the point of dragonrot?
>When you get it, you've died like a million times anyway, so you have already lost everything

7.5/10

A solid game, but not as good as any of the previous "Souls" titles From has made.
Setting is rather uninteresting, level design is poor given the ability to fly around with your grapple and there's zero online in the game (invasions etc.) meaning replayability will suffer, especially since there's zero weapons and armor you can find in this game.
Oh, you also can't create your character, everyone plays the exact same Wolf.

Not saying I regret my purchase, it's okay, just think it'll be forgotten in a few years and not as fondly remembered as the much better Souls titles.

Attached: 1529609813765.png (600x710, 399K)

Running around killing random normie enemies feels like autopilot complete turn off your brain action game style play and then you go into mini boss fights that are unironically substantially harder than any souls game

It's so swingy and feels disconnected.

I regret my purchase.
Bosses/Mini bosses are amazing, best Fromsoft had ever produced.

Normal enemies are a bore
Most skills are shit (vault over)
DaS2 enemy placement design. (10 people in a small corridor)
Really bad level design, multiple grappling points that lead to same area
Boring sound design (big giant literally uses same sounds as fishing hamlet sharks)
Bad music despite having a really good composer
Dragonrot mechanic feels unfair at first, but is trivialized by spoilers.
Odd control placement (had to swap dpad up for toggle and triangle to use heal)
Auto lock on is awful, had to turn it off
Killing tutorial boss nets nothing except a cutscene.

Idk, I want to like this game. Im desperately forcing myself to keep playing but its so god damn boring

Tried that too, no luck, do i gotta rename the .dll to something special? i had to do that with other games and then got it working

Nioh is absolute shit. Diablo looter shit with the laziest level design I had seen in a while. I would recommend Sekiro but not Nioh

does it even kill them or is it only linked to unseen aid? I don't really see the point in worrying about it

Might be tied to side quests that we don't know of yet, otherwise the Unseen Aid seems like an Activision thing so people don't lose stuff on dying, and to counter it they invented Dragon Rot

What are the mask fragments?

Sekiro but with Nioh combat would be 10/10

Jesus Christ the amount of casuls whining in this thread, now I like the game even more

>I finally got the 7 treasure carp scales to buy the Right fragment.
I want to buy the combat art that costs 5 scales but I'm not sure if that's a good idea or if I should save scales for the mask.

I know, all these people getting their shit pushed in by mini-bosses, I fucking love all the mini-bosses in this it's awesome and generally they're guarding something good.

End yourself at your earliest convenience

I don't think the game is that hard, but just not my kind of game. Like I recognize it's not a bad game at all, just not what I like to play. I like leveling up and character progression with more options and variety in weapon choices especially because it allows for better replayability. I prefer fantasy themes and magic. Not a fan of stealth mechanic games in general. No pvp.

Solid 7.5/10
but just a more difficult version of other generic AAA title games I don't usually like playing.

Buy it on ps4.

I might of been tempted to if it sounded like a good game. But considering the reviews it sounds pretty trashy.

thanks doc

No matter what you say you cannot convince me that the Blazing Bull is not a shit fight.

Yea that 650ti is old as fuck I dunno if you will be able to manage. Honestly pirate it and find out for yourself. i5 from 2013 is probably ok if it's quad core and upwards of 3.4ghz. Like I said, if you run DaS3 well you'll run this well, it's only a bit more demanding

Its in the castle area for sure, I just can't remember where. Its in a temple, you eavesdrop and someone talks about it. The armored guy is past the castle, so maybe go back to the castle area and look around

I too have an i5, 2500k in my case. Old as fuck, but it holds up, just barely anyway. You could be playing modern games with this cpu, but I think you need a better gpu.

thanks, figured it out now, I guess I skipped straight to the buddhist temple. really cool area.

These videos are a false flag. You can go back at any time, overpowered as fuck, and fight every boss from every stage as many times as you want, with late late end game gear and maxed stats.

I'm really on a fence.

Because you only have 1 weapon and 1 amrour I dont really care about the exploration, gadgets are limited and feel more like consumables than real weaponry and are gimmicky. Since you have added verticality you spend twice as much time exploring the same wooden temples and houses looking for some interesting loot only to find another fucking magic-find baloon or confetti.

Trash mobs are a joke, so there is 9001 of them everywhere, I don't really find fighting "hollows" (the torch guy even has mostly the same attacks) all that fun. Because you are so fast now even "large" enemies have insane tracking, as can be observed by all the shitters crying over the ogre, but the enemy ai just cant keep up so they fucking reset all the time or get stuck on random shit.

Stealth was promised as a major mechanic and its fukcing atrocious. Its so bare bones that games from early 2000 like fucking gothic that have it as an option have it implemented on pretty much the same level as here.

There is no builds, you pretty much linearly power youself up, and its really simplistic too.

I'll try playing some more tommorow when I get back from work, maybe I just had a bad day or something.

This thread is scaring me. I bought the game last night and preloaded so when I get home from work I can play, but now I might just refund instead. You don't need a valid excuse as long as you haven't even launched it, right?

i want ninja gaiden instead of "ninjas with soul" whatever that fucking means.

I'm watching a streamer play it, so I can shitpost about it at the same time.

It's funny how despite the opposite being true for their settings, Sekiro ends up feeling like a more western game.

I agree with this. The builds and weapons of souls games is part of what made them great. This feels more like a downgrade.

what the fuck are you supposed to do versus the hat midgets?

Are you new to Yea Forums? It's always the same with a super popular game

Just because we're saying we're not enjoying it as much as Souls doesn't mean we're "shitting" on it. I'd still give it an almost 8 out of 10. Just prefer Souls.

Not him and a genuine question here, where is the replay value of this game? is it just a New Game+ like DS where enemies get stronger?

Moving from the souls formula was a BIIIIG mistake for from.

Some patrol around, some stay on that platform, so on. Take them out in their little groups instead of aggroing the entire fucking map.

>where is the replay value of this game?
Oh right I forgot its a single player game without RPG leveling mechanics (oh wait skill trees but lets pretend those don't exist) and those never have replay value.

How is judging a game by what its missing not a reasonable argument? If a game is a sidescroller where you walk froward for a bit then the game ends, can you only judge it by how good it felt to walk forward? No, you would say wow this game feels like its missing more content

Theres no purpose to killing any ads that arent in boss aggro zone, also theres no purpose to ads for bosses, they could've just made this a boss rush game and nothing of value is lost. There's so many reasons why this game is poorly designed

people just need to stop automatically thinking of dark souls or nioh just because its a from game. it feels more like tryhard asscreed than either of those two

Yes it feels like ass creed which is really fucking bad

>Not Cotton Candy Bang
You disgust me.

Any tips on defeating the bull?

That's exactly why its not worth 60 dollars
People in this thread are trying to guilt others to buy it because they wasted their money

No single player game is worth 60 dollars, and none of them have replay value
>doing the same things but giving the enemies 3 times as much HP and damage is replay value!

I had a bad feeling in my stomach when I bought Sekiro. Like I knew I wouldn't love it. And I would be right, after playing for some 9+ hours I feel like I can already now say I don't quite like it that much compared to the older titles.

I had that fucking gut feeling but didn't listen to it. Why didn't I listen.

It's not "missing content", you just somehow decided Sekiro is supposed to be Dark Souls 4 when it isn't.

Are you shitting me? I'm on a i5-4590 and a 2GB GTX960 and I'm playing 1080p medium with minimum drops.

Stuck sitting on gourd seeds

I wish it had delimbing, it would be a perfect fit for the game. Excellent game otherwise.

I can't judge a game I am too shit to play. I'm on the first boss and I've already got 5 rot essences.

8.0 in vidya scale is borderline unplayable, thats sekiros actual category

You knock him off the bridge. deathblow him when his back is against an edge

You mean the skill tree i have maxed now?
Fuck off.

Frankly, no.
While the game isn't terrible we shouldn't give From the idea that we want them to make Sekiro 2, we much rather want better true Soulslike games again.

So pirate it to avoid giving them the sale and the idea that people want a Sekiro sequel.

I'm playing on high with a 970 and an i5-6600k

I would much rather have another Sekiro than another Souls-like. It's about time From moved away from that stale formula.

>You mean the skill tree i have maxed now?
The only thing you have maxed is your retard setting.

This is a really fucking cool game. I’ve always wanted to have a dark souls revolves around stabbing the ever loving shot out of enemies to kill them

Stale, maybe.
But much better.

Sekiro is worse in pretty much every aspect.

>Have no counter arguments
>"I'll call him a retard that will show him"
Nigger

Post a picture of your maxed out skill tree.

Stop doing drugs dumbass

Souls like games are fun and the only good ones are made by from.

Sekiro is bland and frustrating and is just a standard ubisoft style action game with very high damage numbers

he died of poison after the dialogue

Bloodborne > Dark Souls > Sekiro > Demon Souls > Dark Souls 3 > Dark Souls 2
You literally can't deny this

Attached: Velvet.jpg (375x380, 73K)

I got piss drunk, saw it unlocked early, decided to play instead of going to bed. Got to the first area and died enough to give all of China dragonrot because I was too drunk to read and ended up trial and erroring the new combat mechanics such as 'which is the attack button'.
Looking forward to restarting it when sober/10

I became bored and refunded after 1 hour, the lack of character creation and customization really killed it for me

I am not him, currently pirating the game, was just pointing out your lack of arguments and acting like a literal 12 years old

Too samey in combat and style to Souls games even though they added jump. I really dislike the lack of weapon variety versus most Souls or even Nioh games.

>kill boss after hour of wiping
>feel nothing because I know neither me or the boss played fairly
there goes the best thing the souls series ever had

Yeah you're right I should definitely believe the guy on Yea Forums who claims the game has no replay value and has already maxed out his skill trees. Fucking dumbass.

This is the second game i bought this year that i have buyers remorse eith.
First was soul calibur 6 and now its sekiro

Why are people so angry that I don't enjoy Sekiro as much as I enjoyed Souls and Bloodborne?

I really don't understand. Am I not allowed to prefer one thing over another?

Attached: 1533410231801.png (493x402, 7K)

Why are you putting Sekiro in that list? Are you dumb?

Why would the game have replay value? There's no character creation, online and the builds are extremely limited

this
playing as spear of the church and seeing 2 phantoms along with a pussy range spamming host who has the audacity to point down when they kill me eventually made me lose my shit

what the fuck do I do about this surgeon's bloody letter. how do I deliver "1 tough man" to him

There's only 1 Nioh game

posture is such a frustrating mechanic
>have to deflect every single attack while also chipping in r1s non stop otherwise you lose all boss progress
just why

How dare you have preferences, user. How dare you. Do you even know where you are right now? This is fucking Yea Forums. This is a website for otaku only. Either praise Nippon superiority or get the fuck out.

Because they dont want to face the harsh reality that its not as good as bb

Wait are you the first guy or are you still pretending to be a new guy?

Difficulty is all over the place. Bossfights are a joke while mini-bosses can fuck your shit up like no boss can. Like that Lone Shadow in the area you first spawn in.

>can't backstab
>cant block because does a gorillion posture damage
>his combos are anime fighter tier

Its Dark souls but without anything that made dark souls fun.

also removed every weapon but the uchigatana.

its the try-hard anime weeb edgelords wet dream.

Which boss? I just beat lady butterfly after 3 fucking hours and I earned that shit. Only other souls boss that gave me as much trouble was orphan.

>lady butterfly
>attack attack side dodge attack attack
>repeat 50 times
yeah, satisfying boss

whats wrong with cheesing though? Whats wrong with using game mechanics presented to you instead of "unga bunga crircle circle r1 r1" every fight (not talking about summons btw)

>can't backstab
walk past the hole and there's another hole you can drop backstab him

As someone who doesn't like Souls games and enjoys Sekiro, seeing people complain that Sekiro is not another Dark Souls rubs me the wrong way.

Talk to this dude
On bosses its usually worth just chipping at health rather than a relentless onslaught because the posture bar will drop fast. On normal enemies you can R1 smash with no worries. Only on the normal non-boss enemies with alot of health like the big fat dudes with hammers does it feel like it works well. You can easily chip him down since they don't deflect a million things, but you can also just go crazy with attacks and deflecting to build the posture quickly.

yeah that sounds pretty boring, not how i did it

Are you?

But it is a souls game.

yeah and you wasted 3 hours of your life

I tried four times and I never got the backstab to appear. I'm wondering if I bugged tge game because the first time I got down there I could talk to him but tried to backstab him which failed. I'll try later until I moved the Seven Ashina Spear out of my ass.

Is Mibu Village the last area below the Depths? That whole route from the Castle was long as fuck as fuck

You're literally agreeing that Sekiro isn't quite the same as Souls games in your post.

Now you'll just have to learn to accept that some people like Souls and don't like Sekiro while other people dislike Souls but like Sekiro.
Some might even like or hate both.

>side dodge attack attack
Literally every FROM boss though, especially with i-frame rolling in Souls. Its why STR is always the most popular, you don't need to hit alot if you just dodge everything and get 1-2 hits in at a time that deal a ton of damage.

It's a lot closer to a full fledged action game, which is why I like it.

What's the rule with dragon rot? Is it spread just when you die regardless fo whether you resurrected or what?

>japanese souls
yikes

>Literally every FROM boss though
Gimmick bosses tho

I understand this much, I was answering a question of someone who doesn't.

shitter.

Yeah, bring back good old AMERICAN Dark Souls, what is this jap crap

Only actual deaths cause dragonrot.

I'm literally on the verge of breaking down. This game was supposed to be the big thing this weekend and now I'm just sitting here wondering what to do. Are you guys joking around or is it really that horrible?

I just beat the Guardian Ape, everyone mentions some kind of mountain but I don't know where I'm supposed to go to get there, any directions?

Yeah, rot happens regardless of if you choose to resurrect. I think it's kind of bullshit if what people are saying about it killing NPCs is true. This type of game shouldn't punish you for testing your limits and learning.

WTF, just did that and got her on second try. Fuck this game man, if you try to play legit you get your ass fucked so you have to cheese.

bosses have gajillion hp though. I dont think Ive even brought one miniboss to half hp. Won every fight so far by whailing on them and breaking posture
I dont like this game

It's a good game.

Can I ask what people find compelling about this game? Just curious so far.

Yes, don't bother with it. Why? Because I said so and I represent the whole of Yea Forums and the internet

not paying $60 to play
not using wangblows to play
stadia needs to come out already

I just beat the game and it is legit nothing the game. I never felt this empty after beating a game.

Yikes.

shitposters gonna shitpost soulsbabies mad it isnt a souls game

The same thing I like about the rest of Souls. It's challenging, and gives a great sense of reward after you've beaten a part you struggled with. For me, that was the Drunkard

My dream for the next Souls game would be basically Bloodborne 2 but in an ancient egyptian setting.

I'd fucking love that so hard.

Attached: 1538619398236.gif (304x429, 1.99M)

Wow. Not sure this one is for me.

It's a Souls game, just not a good one. Sekiro defenders are just trying to save face that they wasted money

The levels being so vertical so far has me really intrigued. I'm shit at the moment but I can't wait to play more.

Its either people shitposting or dsfags crying cause they have to beat the game without relying on poise or summons. The game is satisfying when you actually learn how to play.

Except it isnt

in this game? Where? Attacks are so telegraphed enemies might as well wear croupier hats.

Attached: Shrug.png (1266x712, 719K)

I'm having more fun with Sekiro than dmc5. Great game.

It literally dosen't ever matter that the levels are vertical. All the enemies you fight out in the levels are totally trivial and die to 4 r1 mashes or 1 stealth r1.

All actual fights take place on even ground.

How does Dragonrot work now? I noticed that the dude in the temple that gave you the prosthetic didnt get infeczed a second time. Does that mean that you can ignore dragonrot as long as you cure everyone at least once?

>lady butterfly
I imagine the playtesters were just fucking sick of it so they just told From it was fine

Too bad they put like 46429 grapple points everywhere and made the levels corridors for the most part with 1 FIGHT path and 1 STEALTH path

how long is it?
debating whether I should play this first, or re2make and sunless skies.

>faggot talks mad shit despite having to cheat
More news at 11

It's the 2nd worst FromSoft game recently IMO. The design is kind of stupid at times but it still holds its own. A lot of people are being retarded trying to play this game like Souls by spamming dodges hoping for iFrames that aren't there.

So far my main gripes are mini-boss placement can be awkward usually, making you just kite around to deal with the trash mobs around them. The fatal attacks feel really unfair because you can't do anything about it for the first encounter(s) but become braindead easy to manage after you realize their movesets. The game encourages various playstyles (aggro everything vs. stealth) but punishes you for playing stealth because you can miss out on key items, the biggest example is they put the key to a new prosthetic on some generic trash enemy.

>enemy jumps
>camera unlocks
Fuck off.

I don’t have the game but watching some vids/streams it looks so bland. Makes me want to go play Nioh again instead desu.

>spear niggers

Does anyone have tips for the Guardian Ape?

depend how good you are
by the looks of it it might take me 100+ hours because Im struggling BAD

Master piece that exposes the Casul shitters that only made it through DS3 using Asmongold tactics and summoning phantoms. Truly an epic statement about modern gaming.

I beat it on my first try using the fire prosthetic, R2 -> R1 for the fire blade, then Nightjar Slash to close distances and proc the burn effect. Just run around it and it can't hit you, phase 2 is mostly the same just watch out for the roar, dash or grapple away when it does it.

WHAT THE FUCK EVERYTHING ELSE WAS SO EASY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

SERIOUSLY

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

This game is cheap with the grab moves. The tracking is ridiculous and you're expected to keep this up for several minutes against damage sponge enemies.

Before you say "git gud" I will say I know what I'm talking about, I'm an expert gamer and I just beat DMC5 on DMD mode so don't @ me. This game is not hard, just cheap.

Enemy attacks are too fucking hard to read when the whole system is about parrying them and you die in two fucking hits. It isn't fun.

dmc5 is piss easy even on dmd. Only some bosses are challenging. dmc5 was a pretty big letdown to be honest.

should I fight horse general before grandma Yea Forums?

Lady Butterfly/horseman

Sekiro feels like it was made by DaS2 team. Hahahaha lets put 10000 enemies by this mini boss xD

Whats even the purpose of Shinobi tools? I can count on a single hand when I used them. I'm guessing NG+ is mandatory for the full Sekiro experience when that shit isnt trash?

>make one small mistake against an enemy

Epic, simply epic. Glad I pirated this.

It's in the skills, I forgot the name but it's a skill to do a follow-up to your prosthetic with R2 -> R1.

They tried to combine souls carcass with a full-on slasher and introduce stealth to it. As a result all three of those aspects turned out shallow and clunky, constantly working against each other. They took the varied moves you unlock from Ni-Oh, but without the variety of builds they're a pointless timegate that prevents the player from accessing the full slasher gameplay. They tried to make high-mobility stealth from Tenchu, but enemy detection is terrible, the level design isn't focused to give player opportunities, and the adding of bushes is a laughable crutch. They wanted to uphold the souls style of fantasy world, but the fantasy elements are too few and disjointed that they just don't make sense. It's still okay as a game, but it utterly fails in comparison to anything it tries to be: Souls, Tenchu, Ni-Oh.
Also all the bosses and mini-bosses I've fought so far were shit with exception of the horse guy. The bull was particularly atrocious and the ninja granny was a dull as fuck deflect-trading session.

Wait thats a guy?

doing the horseman will make butterfly easier but both are actually pretty easy

Cheesing by fucking with their agro range is not fun, it feels like exploiting a broken system. Which only makes me think how flawed and unpolished the game is.

Is the lady butterfly fight supposed to he tedious or am I on the wrong path

face it, plenty of souls vets dislike this game cause it's inferior in all ways

You can kill her pretty quickly

I didn't cheese agro range, I stealth killed as many as I could, then killed the rest whilst avoiding the fatty. When it was just fatty and me left I went and got the other chap to help me out.

If it takes you longer than 15 seconds then you are doing something very wrong

I can't tell if people are complaining because they are bad, or because this game merely continues the trend of mediocrity of ds3.

I disagree, and I've platinum'd BB and gone through it 6 times. Plus BB is 100% dodges or parries, there's no actual swordfighting.

>you dislike the game because you can't summon or cheese!

Jesus fuck stop projecting your insecurities everwhere

This is information that should be given near the start of the game not one of the first fucking bosses. They could and should have told the player this with any of the mini-bosses but didn't.

They didn't use the same UK-based theatre VAs for Sekiro for some reason. Really stupid decision. Dark Souls english VA was 10/10 but Sekiro's english VA is total garbage.

You mean literally one, right? Killing a single guy makes everyone alerted to your presence. Then you have to deal with a mob and top of that the miniboss that takes 60% of your hp with a single attack and 2-3 shots you. And that companion npc dies in seconds, just useless.

>it's just fucking boring and an obvious hack rush job
Nice meaningless buzzwords, do you have any actual criticism

or you can just nuke them all and instantly get back to the boss instead of dodging 10 separate entities for 10 seconds.

so what? It would take 50 r1s to even get her to half hp
irrelevant mechanic

I only started playing BB last week and have found it very fun so far. Up to Ludwig and hit a brick wall due to how little damage I do to him.

Playing this... Eh... It's kinda dull. It's like a cross between a Souls game but with basically all of the options to mix your playstyle up removed, along with Tenchu (stealth, verticality) and Way of the Samurai (combat revolving around parries and the ability to insta-kill normal enemies with a single parry).

I don't really like it that much, but I find it engaging enough to continue. It feels unfinished though, I get the impression they've tried a lot of things and not finished them or cut them out.

What's the point of the stealth in this game?
It's so poorly done it feels like a complete afterthought

Haha ok bud. Not using a strict rotation of attack attack dodge attack attack dodge is the same as fighting the asylum demon with your fists. Alright. So I'm not wrong in that your strategy interferes with her intended attack patterns?

And I'm not sure where exactly you thought I was complaining about anything. Is English not your first language? Maybe need to see a tutor or something?

>Killing a single guy makes everyone alerted to your presence.
this is only true if other enemies have line of sight on you. Sound doesn't play a part in the assassination detection.

Did anyone else lead the chained ogre to the bonfire near the guys who were talking about using fire to kill it?
I mean, why doesn't it do anything? Why have a loop where you lead the ogre to it, and have guys talking about using fire against it, if you can't use it?

miyazaki can literally only make 1 game, it's like calling star wars sci-fi because it has lasers and robots. i'm sorry your game has a boring uninspired time and location, rehashed combat (which can yet again be cheesed), almost no customization (and even the little bit that exists is just to propel you through fights), and an overall sense of cheapness. i hope you at least pirated it

>Fight red -eye Ogre
>Have to dodge his grab attacks
>He has a near instant close up grab and a more seeable run up grab
>Have to dodge near instantly for the close up grab
>Have to do a delayed dodge for the run up one otherwise it tracks
>Hack at his knees while deflecting drop kicks and jumping elbow slams
>See the red flash and starting mashing dodge for the close up grab hes' surly to do since I'm fucking rubbing my nose in his loincloth
>Nah he's doing the run up grab and get autotracked and damaged for 95% of my health bar

Up until this twat I was being precise in my button presses but that fight taught me that mashing gives more consistent results.

a free kill on normal enemies and free critical on bosses that removes 1 HP bar. it's extremely useful.

>Shaman Faggot in Dungeon
Was that fight supposed to be fun in any way?

I knew this game would be worse when I saw the setting and early clips of it.
Glad I ended up being right, after pirating and trying it for quite a long time I can confirm my initial impression.

What? Pretty sure the training NPC stuff ONLY shows you what you've already seen which first showed up for me in the image you posted.
OBVIOUSLY if you check now it'll be there.

You're absolutely wrong though. If you assassinate an enemy that's behind another (not in line of SIGHT) they will immediately get a yellow marker.

nope. only if you jump/ledge assassinate them.

But why do I find Sekiro incredibly boring and clunky, if I play all Souls games naked dual-wielding cestuses.

...

I played all their souls and bloodborne, and unfortunately cant play sekiro right now but watching it on youtube

imo its fucking kino, Im loving what Im seeing. Do you guys think its on the same level of quality as their previous games, as bloodborne hich was 10/10? I didnt think it was possible, and will wait with judgment but sekiro is fucking great

Nope retard. I learned about Vitality from him way before I ever met the boss.

This guy? Nope, they definitely designed him to be a fucking cunt spammer with dumb ass floating ghost balls that act only as annoying obstacles to sprint around for 1-2 hits max.

The best part of that boss was he doesn't deflect or block, but he took so fucking long to kill

I have that graphics card and it runs fine on lowest settings and looks good enough

Which npc sells confetti? needs for phantom monk

just incorrect

>So I'm not wrong in that your strategy interferes with her intended attack patterns?
yeah because you're suppose to let enemies do whatever they want? you just sound stupid now. the fight is literally designed as a tutorial on teaching you counter attacking and how sometimes lowering the enemies health directly instead of parrying/blocking 50 times in a row is a more ideal approach to the fight.

>And I'm not sure where exactly you thought I was complaining about anything
maybe you're not the original poster than. that or I thought you were being sarcastic. either way your approach to the boss was the least optimal thing and went against what the game was trying to teach you.

>literally 1 game
>implying for answer isn’t the best in the series

No verdict , it's another souls clone only glorified by Yea Forums incels. Ez hard pass

Yeah him. He's just a shit, no fun allowed faggot.

Bloodborne wasn't a 10/10, but the second best Souls game after DS1 and extremely good.

Sekiro is nowhere near as good. I've played it quite a while now and it's just worse than all previous Souls games in multiple ways. Not terrible, bad "meh".

I don't see how using dodge attack is the least optimal thing.

about to buy this on steam

speak now or forever hold your peace

I'd honestly preffer less normal enemies and 1 HP bar less on mini-bosses.
Stealth is a joke, it breaks my immersion a lot because of the stupid AI, reseting enemy aggro and overall blindness of the enemies.

got the death rot meme, should i restart?

I posted my opinion here if you want to read it

Help me out here. How the fuck am I supposed to deal with mini-bosses/bosses that can throw out a fast as fuck attack whenever I go on the offensive? Am I really supposed to just sit around waiting for them to do shit that I can parry? Every fucking time I try to capitalize on a whiff or a parry they throw out some lightning fast attack that interrupts me and staggers me long enough for a second hit to kill me. Am I only supposed to go in for a single hit? If so, how the fuck is this any different from a Souls game?

About to take a shower and then play this. I've heard that it shows shutters for what they are. Looking forward to seeing how I do.
Wish me luck.

Dodge button is useless, use the jump button with the same purpose, it won't even scratch you.

yes, because if there's one thing FromSoft excels at, it's immersion.

this game isnt about placing good clean hit betweenpatterns
you're supposed to break their posture so mash L1 during the boss attacks and R1

Do it if you want buyer's remorse.

misunderstanding since im saying the opposite, check the reply chain

>How the fuck am I supposed to deal with mini-bosses/bosses that can throw out a fast as fuck attack whenever I go on the offensive?
Don't wait for openings, the enemies in this game attack a lot faster than Souls so if you wait for openings, you'll be too late and you'll get your attack cancelled. You have to know their movesets so the moment you get the last block in their combo, start attacking them right away.

You have to adapt to each boss's rhythm. Usually you attack until they do a succesful deflect and then immediately get ready to deflect their counter. After you deflect the counter, try to gauge whether they'll go for a 2nd hit or if they're backing off. If they're backing off, keep pressing until they do a 2-hit counter. Keep an eye on your posture to manage it because getting posture broken is a guaranteed death.

You can cure later, keep going. Its unavoidable, probably.

The problem minibosses / bosses have is that you can't punish their combos or their spam since they hyper armour through everything because their 'attack' is set to be 4 swings and any attempt to interrupt that results in them instantly blocking or your swings phasing through them so they can finish the attack. Add in that the cooldown on their attack patterns can be nearly instant and some of them regain poise rapidly and it's no wonder people are struggling.

Holding attack does a charged thrust. Does it have a specific purpose?

What I'm saying is that I was using dodge attack like the tutorial tells you. I was dodging her attack chains and then counterattacking. And it was hard as shit getting it all down. It sounds like what you did allowed you to interrupt her attacks before they even really get started which sounds really fucking boring and makes me think it can't be intended. Because that fight was fun as hell.

>you can't punish their combos or their spam since they hyper armour through everything
this is so fucking wrong. lmao. seriously, by simply shuriken + forward sweep you can interrupt most combo setups on all the bosses. the big majority of DANGER! sweep/thrust boss attacks can instantly interrupted with the shuriken + r1 combo.

Very nice

Do it, it's a great game. I hope you like parrying.

I've only ever had that work with Lady Butterfly, everyone else just ignores it.

I can't beat the chained ogre. I think I'd better quit now.

I think it's good for stopping pressure, seems to stagger opponents.

how is bloodborne not a 10/10?

Wouldn't replay/10

the dodge button is very useful but people need to stop dodging into/away from attacks. Dodge sideways, the iframes have been considerably reduced so if you dodge into or away from an attack you'll get caught at the tail end of the dodge's frames. Unless of course you're doing the spear counter thing.

i just did it with the seven spear fatso and the purple samurai in the pit.

How do I learn their moveset without getting my ass handed to me?

Can't wait for This is how you don't play DSP edition

>Game says to attack after a successful deflection to counter attack
>Enemies just armor through supposed counter attack and I get hit
So is the game teaching me wrong as a joke?

get the flame tool from the memory and use it on him. dodge sideways. use the hide item to sneak behind him and start the fight with -1 HP bar by sneak critical hitting him from the back.

You have to obviously look at the enemy and see if they'll attack again or if they're backing off, brainlet. Try looking at the fucking screen instead of just mashing buttons.

If you want a souls game with more varied combat in Japanese sengoku aesthetics, get Ni-Oh.
If you want a stealth with a grappling hook in Japanese sengoku aesthetics, run a PS emulator and play Tenchu 2.
If you want a fast-paced hack'n'slash in Japanese sengoku aesthetics, get Way of the Samurai 4.
In every possible aspect that Sekiro has there are infinitely better games. There's just nothing Sekiro does well.

Only works with some enemies, if you look at Minibosses they will literally snap into a block if you attack them, regardless of what they're doing. The game basically has set periods with enemies during which you can damage them, hitting an enemy outside of one of these periods results in them snapping instantly to a block.

The game should be a bit more clear about it then.

I want a good action game, and nothing you listed is a good action game.

It's not a Souls game why are you comparing it to them?

Thanks user I just did it anyway by normal fighting. Everyone has dragon aids now though because I've died so much

I think it's plenty obvious that you have to look at the what the enemy is doing in combat in any game ever.
Funny though that you're probably one of the people who were crying about "too many tutorials" before release.
