We all agree this is THE hardest From Software game right?

Yes user, it's good for other reasons. Congratulations on having half a brain, I don't think even your parents expected that

There's two skills you can acquire which makes him easy as fuck, the game is poorly designed and you're better off not trying to out skill the game and just use the abilities/prosthetics they literally put in to counter exact enemy types.

>brainlet streamers taking long at the monkey puzzle
lmao

Parrying is great, i'm talking about the other bullshit attacks you sperg that you can't parry, can't dodge etc but that you literally have to use the ability counters to cinematically avoid and if you try to parry or dodge them normally they still magically hit you.

No, not even close.

Hard because babies can't summon people to kill bosses for them. It's really just Bloodborne tier difficulty without summons.

Hardest part is getting it to work on PC

Bloodborne was made trivial by dodging

>It's really just Bloodborne tier difficulty without summons.
Yeah, maybe Old Hunters-tier difficulty. The only thing in the base game of BB that compares to some of the shit in Sekiro is flamedog.

no lies

dark souls is bullshit hard, this one actually makes you use your reflexes instead of iframes

>my 5 year old windows installation and 50 driver updates broke something
every fucking time.

If you're talking about the flame cleric beast then he is also old hunters. If not then the flamedog must have been piss easy cause I don't remember him.

bloodborne you could easily just spam dodge and hit whatever

Flamedog was in the chalice dungeons. You would remember him if you fought him.

Did you ring the bell? Didn't think so.

Im really wondering if I will like Sekiro. I've never beaten a souls game, furthest I cared to get was DS1, but I have played almost everyone of them a little. I love parrying in devil may cry and MGS Revengence, so an action game where I am just worrying about getting good and not how I am fucking my stat sheet up sounds like a god send.

>didn't even kill the ogre
>7 people I never met already got dragonrot
what the fuck from.

>MGS Revengence
that's what it is but harder(somewhat) plus dodges

I remember now. I didn't think he was very hard. The only thing in the chalice dungeons that fucked my shit up was the cursed lightning skeleton boss. Gayest shit I ever played.

No one implied that dumbass, learn to read.

Nioh has stats, but I think you'd legitimately like it more than Sekiro in that respect.

Nioh has a much higher, and a much more satisfying skill ceiling as well. The problem with Sekiro is once you've beaten a boss (which btw are the only enemies in the game that pose any threat at all) what you've learned/mastered really isn't applicable to anything else, whereas in Nioh your mastery continues to be applicable throughout the entire game as you face tougher variants etc

Sekiro is good, but it's really not about mastery in the same way.

>no stats so you can’t overlevel
>no summons
>no magic
>no bullshit like poise among other things
A slap in the face to all the souls tough gaymers and a reminder to git gud

if you're just worried to git gud and no stats then Sekiro will work for you

did u die

Ninja enemies are straight up bullshit

Hardest I've played, I've only played the Soulsborne games though.

It's starting to grow on me, though.

>in Nioh your mastery continues to be applicable throughout the entire game
I would argue with that, Nioh got same structure "only bosses matter", it's just got more easier bosses you rush through and some nails tough bosses where same as sekiro applies
for me there isn't much difference, I pretty much played Nioh single katana all the way, feels very similar to me. at least I don't need to kipulse everything.

It's the ultimate git gud game. People who have nothing else going for themselves in their lives get a shallow feeling of accomplishment and get to brag about it on Chinese knitting forums.

>Niohfag strikes again
Everyone knows Nioh is fucking piss-easy by now you can stop pretending
>Nioh
>high skill ceiling
Adorable.

I'm not against a game ring hard but why does everything have to do retard tier damage, might as well not give players a healthbar and just a single hit point

I had zero dragonrot until i got my ass handed to me by the purple wizard 100x
I eventually gave up since Im out of divine ceremony and I dont know where its at

DEMON BURDEN BROS WW@???

Maybe because you have two fucking lives?

>Nioh has a much higher, and a much more satisfying skill ceiling as well.

2nd life is to run away and bone out in shame to avoid DR

Finished SL1 runs of Dark Souls 1 and 3,and I find Sekiro not as hard as said SL1 runs.

Fucking gnar.

I 100%d MGSR

and I though i'm doing pretty well, for my defense I played all souls games through only once

shinobi hunter is easy as fuck
first of all you can stealth deathblow all minibosses to just bring them to their last healthbar
plus that mikiri something counter makes him a joke

Nioh was awesome, but I never cared enough to beat it for two reasons.
1. It had like 5 total enemies in the entire game
2. That loot and armor system was shit, and fuck confusing, especially after returning to it after a couple weeks.

its only hard for shield shitters and I-frame shitters.
parry bros are having a blast.

>Use two lives
>Game fucks you over and starts killing everyone

You're not supposed to use the two lives. 90% of enemies doing 70% of your HP with attacks with .5 second tells is pretty annoying. You get used to it, but each enemy type just introduces a learning curve, and fighting in packs is absolutely horrible.

SL1 of DaS3 is fucking easy as hell. You have access to so many fucking weapons in that game at SL1. SL1 O&S and Manus were fucking hell though.

>shinobi hunter is easy as fuck
3rd try for me after getting makiri counter. go to undead dude in the temple to practice it, shinobi hunter is a joke when you learn to use counter
ogre still fucking me up though, didn't play today yet, someone said you gotta jump from grabs?

Based
I don't think they thought this mechanic through. It's obviously intended to give you a second whack at whatever boss you're fighting but you come back with so little health that you might as well puss out and keep skill points.

>Parrying
>Just spam RB

It's nothing like parrying in soulsborne. If you fucked up the timing in those games you would be punished. You can just press RB pretty much whenever you want in this game.

>puss out and keep skill points
what?! that's how it works?

I’m confused about the areas I just started the game and beat the ogre. So apparently I could’ve gotten some fire attack before this fight in another area I apparently missed. Pleasant surprise this isn’t too linear.

>You can just press RB pretty much whenever you want in this game.
wrong.

What I found with minibosses is you just have to sneak up on them to get the first death blow. If you want to kill the ogre easy, just make sure you're spec'd into quiet, and sneak up next to him and give him the killing blow, then just spam fire and hit him until he dies.

>If you fucked up the timing
timing is shit in those games, here it happens on contact not on magical precognition event

Too much trial and error.

Giant Blacksmith's Hammer made short work of both o&s and manus
Ds2 is still the hardest to sl1.
BB ToH is close second only because of Laurence and Kos

yep it's artificially hard

No, I'm not wrong. I easily beat Lady Butterfly like 20 minutes ago simply by spamming RB the whole fight. Felt nothing like Parry/Riposte. Felt more like spamming RB and her vitality drained to nothing. Parrying Gwyn is much more satisfying.

The game is hardest of the FROM games that's for sure, and I beat DS1-3 on M+KB which probably doesn't mean much now in retrospect. Why is it so difficult for game developers to put PS4 prompts in the PC version? I fucking hate it when it's not included and it's NEVER included. The work is already there since there's a PS4 version of the game, why can't they just add a few lines of code they already have and put it in the PC version?

This board is so fucking funny.

Every port to PC does this for some reason. I think its because the xbox controller is the official windows gamepad.

mist raven is a bit OP isn't it? it negates everything and timing is WIDE

Name of that skill?

Its easy for those that understand the game.
Its hard for soulsborne players who are use to R1 spam

This coming out so close to DMC 5 really has highlighted the difference in the games challenges. I really feel like DMC is more fair with how you can handle everything in that game.

This game is still really good. But I find myself more often here shaking my fist wondering how many rotations the enemy is expected to track you through, or how getting too greedy and watching an enemy straight poise through your attacks or having very specific mechanics to ignore your guard/dodge.

I literally killed him in a fit of rage, but Mikiri Counter works well, just look at his animation and punish accordingly (don't dodge too much because his hitbox is fucked up)

Yes. I don’t know if it was just the way I was doing it, but it helped if I tried to sneak past him and focus on the pole arm dude next to him, I usually snuck past him, killed the pole arm dude, and was able to sneak up to him to get a death blow

that's weird, I think exactly opposite.

Do the environments get more interesting? I just got to Ashina castle and if the rest of the game is just pagodas and shit im gonna be disappointed

I'm just not finding it very enjoyable to play honestly, I've only died a few times but the edgy katana execution on every kill is already boring and there doesn't seem to be any variation to fights, non-boss enemies are only remotely a threat if they swarm you, stealth/detection seems incredibly inconsistent and I'm finding myself either bored or mildly irritated most of the time I've been playing. The grappling/climbing also doesn't feel nice, it feels really clunky. Not really enjoying it, it's not very fun.

>Base game - probably. But with DLC I actually had to drop the game for few weeks.
Oh yeah should have made it clear I only did a basegame run. I could see how Demon Princes would be a fucking nightmare.

did you get sneaking skill? thanks will try that, I'm fine killing his first bar, second bat I always fuck up with grabs

Or the fact that you NEED certain things to progress. First time I came against the shield enemies in the estate I didnt have the axe, and any attack or deflection I did was just followed by a 1ms startup animation that did 20% of my health.
Use the item that makes you slightly less visible and then crouch past him, kill the spear guy on the hill and then jump on top of the building.

It's a prosthetic in the flashback guarded by a fuck.

grapling feels nice though, I feel like you all playing it on console sub 40 fps, game is smooth as hell at 60

So would you like to explain what enemies in DMC have weird parry timings, or which enemy in the game has blatant and malicious tracking on their attacks or are you just trying to contradict me to defend "your" game?

This for me as well atm, Im thinking its going to get a lot better once I master everything and get some cooler skills

Yeah, I had the sneaking skill and the other quiet skill that muffles the sound your normal steps make

Also, I think there's an item that silences your footsteps completely, maybe try that.

If you're in his line of sight though I think he'll spot you regardless.

You get blighttown with guns, but for the most part its boring asd pagodas.
Game's setting really hurt it.
Japan is so boring

do i do it brehs

honestly, I wouldn't.

Manus is a fucking joke to dodge after some practice, and goes down pretty quickly with rtsr.
DaS3 late game and DLC bosses are way harder.

Do it for the memes breh

Nah you're just mad cause bad. Nothing in this game has made me frustrated yet. DMC5 is only challenging when doing autistic shit like going for all S-ranks on DMD. Revives made just finishing DMD a fucking cakewalk. Most of the enemies in DMC can barely deal with you because they don't have counters for when youre in the air. Most of the time I get hit in DMC is when I get bored of wailing away on the same enemy for so long and I try to get in more hits than I should to get the fight over with faster. The only enemies that are actually challenging is shit like Furies which no one fucking enjoys fighting.

Patrician: This game isn't fun.
Pleb: HURRRR DURRRR RETARD IT'S KINO

I'm playing on PC at 60 fps, it's alright at best. It seems like the most effective way to clear out enemies is stealth kill, run away, stealth kill, run away and that's fucking boring.
Me too, I'm hoping it gets better but I'm honestly not really feeling it so far, the parry mechanic is cool at first and it's satisfying but at this point it's already boring to me and I've only been playing a few hours.

I just don't like DMC combat structure, it's the usual arcade game imitation with dial up combat japan been doing for decades

because xbox x looks like playstation cross and it confuses the shit out of me.

Do it

You get an item that makes the game harder, but you can remove it at any time to get rid of its effect.

its like the first or second prosthetic skill, its not hard to get

>Nioh is much more difficult.
Really?

So i have some "boss souls" dont know how this shit is called from lady butterfly or the guy with the horse, can i do something else with them than to spend them on upgrading my attack power?

no. and why would you even want to.

I would agree DaS3 bosses are harder, but I would call Manus easy. His wambo combo is one of the most BS moves in the entire series

well, i'm pressing E, so I don't care what prompt says

Not by a long shot. Enemies do less damage and you get three (3) revives. Your defensive options actually work, too. Maybe once you count NG++.

i cant fucking beat enshiro FUCK FUCKING FC
I PARRY ALL HIS ATTACKS AND CANT TIME HIS TWO UNBLOCKABLES AND THEY GET ME EVERY FUCKING TIME BECAUSE I HAVE NO CLUE WHICH IS COMING OUT BC THE GAME GIVES YOU NO CLUE AS TO WHICH UNBLOCKABLE IS GOING OUT AND YOU INSTADIE IF YOU GUESS WRONG

stealth kill one of the guys at the bottom of the stairs, kill the other, run up stairs and zerg the 3rd goon, run and jump away until the music stops, and then stealth back and backstab the ogre

so falling off the level doesnt count as a death?

>it's not hard, it's just [reasons that make the game hard that don't count for some reason]

I'm getting pretty annoyed with how many mooks there are around minibosses.

>Nah you're just mad cause bad.
>Proceeds to brag openly about being terrible at DMC.

The most bullshit thing in DMC is on DMD some enemies just don't stagger. At all. This game has more than its fair share of issues with tanky enemies with unreasonable levels of tracking.

then kill them first retard

From what I've seen so far, it takes half your max life. If you have too little life, you just die with no chance to respawn.

Good that they fucked over the iframes goofballs. Deflecting is the real competitor here. But half the time it sucks that deflecting an attack on all enemies does fuck all. Only on the beginning enemies. I still love the timing in which I need to deflect an attack. The timings are each random in themselves but challenging.

But, come on From Software. Yet another game where the AI just stands around and aren't attack anything besides YOU when YOU come around. I wanna see these enemies doing random stuff, including fighting or sparring amongst themselves. This is no different from the Batman games and Spiderman game where the enemy "patrols" and does fuck all else. What a waste.

here's one way to make a game harder: roll dice every second to see if your player character dies.

as someone who enjoyes hard video games, I'm sure you would love playing such a video game

so it's you problem, I quite enjoy the rush I get from fighting more than 4 enemies.

There are so many diverging paths. I get constant anxiety wondering if I went down the right path or not.

>dial up combat

It doesn't have "dial up" combat at all though.

>no Necropolis
>no Hellpoint
>no Immortal Unchained

confirmed plebeian

First time hearing about an axe, but i found that tapping r1 once against the shield guys in the estate then parrying their bash is the way to go. At most they bash twice before theyre open for a reposte

It was cool at first but it's boring and repetitive now, for me at least. Glad you like it though I'm just not really.

I'm always worried if I miss something useful.
And I did miss fire hand in the fire.

damn can anyone attest to this? is it really that bad?

How difficult a game is, is completely independent of how much you enjoy it you dumb faggot. What's so hard to understand? "Sekiro is the hardest From software game" is an objective fact no matter how much command grabs make you seethe.

>he considers what I said bragging
Yikes. I'm simply saying the game isn't hard unless you do autistic shit like go for S-ranks on DMD. Sekiro is hard right off the bat and just the act of simply finishing the game is difficult.
>tanky enemies with unreasonable levels of tracking.
At least Sekiros tanky enemies actually fight back. Proto Angelos might be the worst fucking enemy type I've ever seen in a game. A literal fucking punching bag.
>muh tracking
Yeah you're just bad

Also yeah, that ash thing would work wouldnt it

About 75 seconds. 60 seconds are cutscenes, 10 seconds are loading screens and 5 seconds are pure artificial difficulty. Don’t bother.

50+ hours

Very early in it, does it get better than rock paper scissors damage sponges?

i find the combat enjoyable but bosses (including minibosses) doing stupid as fuck amounts of damage while you have shit all for healing for ages really hampers my enjoyment of it, getting 2 shot after multiple vitality upgrades isn't fun for me

Just beat the flaming bull, which area should I go to? There's like three areas that opened up. I'm dreading going into notBlighttown because fuck that aesthetic

nope

Are any of the prosthetics actually good? I've only really used Fireworks and Rope. Axe has limited utility, and the others seem too gimmicky to be useful.

that literally never happened and you've been here since 2015 at the earliest.

I use axe all the time, its great for breaking their posture

the combat has a lot of trial and error

this game is harder than those games

Except now you're just lying. But ok. If you are actually using orbs for continues, then you have no right to judge the game's difficulty.

Sekiro isn't "hard right off the bat" and saying any of the basic mobs in this game do anything but beg you to parry them is disingenuous.

Moreover, the enemies in DMC definitely do fight back. Namely Proto Angelo, who on Devil Hunter difficulty uses basic moves from Nelo Angelo's pool that you can parry with relative ease outside of being flanked by Scudos.

You're not even trying to defend the tracking issue, because any of the remotely "hard" enemies in this game depend on having huge poise to counter hit you during your attack, and their attacks having the most blatant tracking that will home in on you nearly 360 degrees.

It's mot a matter of "getting good" you fucking mentally stunted coward. It really isn't hard to figure these games out. It's just a matter of how transparent these design hangups are.

I'm sorry your parents will fucking die if you don't shill this game or something.

The boss fights in this game are wonderful

Okay, be honest with me. There was a webm in the DMC threads of this scripted branch jump to sneak attack. It looked Ubisoft as hell. Is that a good representation of this game, because I like From Software, if it's good I want to check it out, but from what I've seen, I'm not a fan of it.

Listen I get that you have to shill for DMC5 like your life depends on it but when you day shit like this it makes it seem like you're not even trying

I restarted just now. I was just at the second sub boss after the 3 dogs at the beginning. After meeting the buddha making guy after infecting him with dragon rot

the thing is that souls fanbase is full of people who love patting themselves in the back saying yup I love playing hard video games. then when they are presented with genuine challenge they call it tedious and artificial difficulty. what a riot. I have to commend from software for exposing these losers.

That shit pissed me right the fuck off.

They have one helmsplitter attack, and Nelo's basic two hit combo as well as a formation attack with Scudo Angelos on the I'm assuming at this point one difficulty you played. You are actually lying about the enemies.

It's not really hard at all. Just be a fucking ninja

Brushing off any and all criticisms because the game is hard and therefore anyone who doesn't like it is bad is not how grown-ups express their opinions, user.

This game can't decide if it wants to be a slow, plodding, deliberate combat system like souls or something fast and agile like ninja gaiden. This is not a very good action game.

The flame dog is hard because he exists in a half health chalice and with max health half his kit will one shot you if you get hit. So unless you are a fucking master of never getting hit, hes fucking ridiculous.

you're not supposed to do damage, moron. you're supposed to use the myriad of systems available to you to fuck their posture gauge and do deathblows. if you do it right you kill most enemies in just a couple of actual interactions. doing damage to their life bar as your goal means you're playing horribly

I'm liking it so far but why the fuck did they nerf the dodge so much? Just remove it at this point

Any advice for gyoubu oniwa?

Snake Eyes was hella annoying. I really felt like that fight was deliberately designed to just be as annoying as possible

>Ton of damage so she can kill you in two
>Super armor while they're firing
>A 360 grab with a wonky hit box
>Big ass reach so she can swing through walls
And the fight can take place in a poison pit that has other gunners positioned around it. Wouldn't that be funny?"

Gonna sneak attack the fuck out of her on my next playthrough.

I understand that your self esteem is all wrapped up in being VERY good at video games and everyone is very proud of you, but there's no need for namecalling.

I felt that he was way easier than Shinobi Hunter, Ogre and the general before him.
Stay at a safe distance so you can parry, grapple-slash him when the prompt appears, also this might've been my imagination but firecrackers seem to do a lot of damage.

Game looks like a FROM game and runs well on older PC hardware. I have a 970 GTX and a i5 and the game runs flawlessly

So what to do with this guy? This seems like one of those "go back and talk to the gnome under the bridge wearing the hat and digging for random shit for the secret potion. OH. U KILLED HIM?then no secret potion 4 u" sorts of enemies. Does this hat gnome hold secrets or nah?

That's a regular enemy later. I don't know what the fuck he's doing there.

Terror is a retarded mechanic. The item to remove it/reduce build up also takes forever to use. And the two enemies I've run into so far that can apply it also requires confetti (which I haven't found a vendor for yet) and are utter bullshit to fight.
One is a literal touhou boss with projectile spam that you can't block/parry without getting Terror'd and instantly killed. The other has miasma around him so you can't sidestep and parrying his hits builds up terror so you die in 2-3 parries, also has a lmao teleports behind you nothing personel kid grab move.

Bugged/broken shit just like how the thrust counter skill doesn't work against some spears because fuck you.

where do I get the dope as fuck skill I saw in the previews that creates a cloud of blood when you stealth kill?

it does work on thrust/pierce perilous attacks specifically

It's a key item you can't use until you rescue the divine heir.

Hardest game i ever played. 13 hours in still on the ogre fight. Fun when you're good at it though.

Agreed I don't under2the people saying bloodborne was harder I beat the cleric Beast first try. I'm still struggling to beat some of the goddamn mini-bosses in sekiro.

I know it works on thrust attacks, but take the Shinbi Hunter guy in the memory for example, it doesn't work against him no matter how much I tried which pissed the hell out of me.

>Hardest game i ever played.
Kids these days, man. This is probably the hardest major title released in the past decade though, so I can't really fault people for it.

Everything else that's "hard" has been optional fucking difficulty levels.

*understand, how the fuck did my autocorrect get that shit?

There's a Tenchu reference when you're at the Temple. You find a white petal on a mountaintop. There is a Tenchu level where this exact thing happens.

Ashina Castle has to be one of the largest areas in FROM history I was seriously impressed with the design of that area

Same I tried to counter him so many damn times, didn't work once I tried it on a standard enemy and it worked immediately.

No. Dodging is easier than parrying and it's encouraged to spam r1, if you try to do that in sekiro you will never get past the tutorial.

>The game is challenging, but satisfying.
It's not satisfying if it feels retarded, no.

another FROM game to add to the filter list!

Bunch of faggots

I am overwhelmed by the level design in this game. I feel like I constantly have to make choices where to go next and it gives me Fear of Missing Out.

Use the grapple when the icon appears.

The "real" path forward seems pretty obvious since it's almost always straight ahead. I'm really enjoying the optional paths available. Memory area seemed completely optional, Abandoned Dungeon and what lies beyond it seems optional etc.

Speaking of which, how the fuck do I progress after reaching the Main Hall in Senpou temple? The monk there talked about getting to the inner sanctum but other than the small bonus area for an esoteric scroll on the left side I haven't found any path forward.

is it supposed to do anything? it grapples me to him but then he just kicks my shit in

Good thanks. I been paused for this long for a reply.

wtf? is this later or something? everything so far has been linear as FUCK. The most decision was when I got the bell and it was either back to the past samurai jack for a while or just keep going through past ogre and snek

Don’t play that shit either, Babby

Dude just parry lmao

The only people that think this game is difficult are retards who try to play it like a souls game.

>>Speaking of which, how the fuck do I progress after reaching the Main Hall in Senpou temple?
That's for later. All the other stuff you described is for later too, aside from the memory.

You should be heading up to the top of the castle to rescue your fucking master, retard. Then Senpou opens up as well as another couple of areas.

I think God Hand is fairly challenging but compared to this it's a cakewalk.

I hate games that let you sidetrack massively only to cockblock you by "lmao continue main story first fajit". Nice waste of time.

You just need to [fpoiler]get better mother fucker[qpoiler]. You seem like a young spoiled asshole. Or a young spoiled westerner who expects enemies to die from one hit in these games. Then you collect orbs or whatever from its corpse for an extra life. This is game is what a struggle for victory feels like. Deal with it mothafuckaaa

It's a linear game, what did you expect? You get some bonuses for your time, if you go to the temple first you can talk to the head monk and get a text.

I did the same thing. It does feel pretty good when they are like go there, and I am like don't worry bro I already beat that shit. They got to save something for the end game

Can anyone tell me what the fuck IGN was smoking saying this was easier than Souls and BB?

You do get extra stuff that you would not see otherwise going there. There is even a boss you can skip if you go to the village early

the blasted butthole choir over this game was already enough for me to want to try. Then I saw phase 2 of the guardian ape... It was the freakiest goddamn thing I have ever seen in modern media. Game is a must buy.

Once you get it, its easier. That doesn't mean that there aren't crazy spikes in difficulty. In some ways this feel like Demons Souls to me where you looked to cheese and exploit the AI instead of just fighting. But overall you can go super long stretches of time without dying and then maybe die like 5 times to the boss. I think the bosses just have far less HP than Dark Souls bosses who could take forever to kill.

They got an easier version of the game. I'm certain that's the case.

Not really, because I'm progressing through this game faster than I was any other souls game. It's like dark souls 2, it's actually easier than alot of games, but the experience is just inherently miserable because of how sloppy and frustrating every fight feels, even when you breeze right through enemies.

I would be if I actually wasted money on this just because I enjoyed dark souls lmaoo

Wasn't everyone bitching how hard BB was when it came out and then people figured out how to git gud? Why is Sekiro any different.

the opinions of a shitter who finds the game hard doesn't really matter though

because sekiro is shit too kek

BB was never hard.

...

isn't that the whole point of the system? it even gives you a warning so you can react and read the tell before you need to mikiri, dodge or jump

I love seeing souls fanboys cry because they're playing a game that's legitimately difficult for once.

...

Yeah, I was winded after hitting the "play" button.

souls is shit though
at least sekiro requires some thought in the combat

the opinions of a complete drone incapable of critical thought don't really matter either

That's how it's intended, retard.
That is not cheese.

P-POWER WORD: REDDIT phew that was a close one

>You're MEANT to abuse the MMO tier leash mechanics on this boss
I'm sure.

I just used the NPC to distract the drunkard while I killed all the mooks then the fatso. No need tro reset anything, even managed to have the guy survive the whole thing but he disappears anyway after.

They really wanted me to just drop everything I was doing and go do the Flashback right when I got the bell huh? I didn't have a reason to go back home so I just sort of kept progressing...

I'm stuck at the first mini boss (shogun dude right at the beginning) jesus I suck ass.

>Resetting the boss
Is that a thing?
All I did was I just let that NPC fight him while I rushed in and killed some of the random enemies during the chaos, I didn't think I had any choice but fight him head on, but you have help there, so it works out.

Yeah the pacing is weird. You're meant to go through Ashina but game suggests you go grab fire (and axe since you need it later but the game doesn't tell you) so you drop everything to go into the flashback, but then lady butterfly is such a gigantic difficulty spike it's like you're supposed to go back to ashina until way later.

I'm struggling more than I can remember with any other major (non-arcade, non-indieshit) game. Ninja Gaiden Black is the closest thing that comes to mind. And NGB gave you more options to work with, this game is pure timing and reflex.

I'm bad at the souls games but this feels like it's manageable for me. I honestly thought people were gonna complain it's too easy.

You can also stealth deathblow him to cut his health in half so really you can turn a 6 v 2 into a 0.5 v 2 in your favor by resetting the encounter and sneaking again. Literally no reason not to do it.

It's not "weird pacing", the game is built like a metroidvania where you need to proceed in one area to have the tools to handle the others and later on it opens up incredibly well.
You can defeat the drunkard and butterfly with base health though it's not recommended since she drops an upgrade you won't be able to utilize until you rescue Kuro.

It made more sense in my mind to do Butterfly after Horseman atleast difficulty wise it feels like a continuation after horseman, but narratively speaking it is very weird yeah, the rest of Outskirts would be kind of a joke if you manage to kill Lady Butterfly before then.

nvm, he's dead now.

I don't know if its the hardest but I am definitely bad at it.

His second phase is much harder than the first so solo his first health bar if you can before getting the NPC to help out.
Also oil bombs + the fire arm stagger him for a decent amount of time so fit that in as much as you can.

I can already hear a horde of fujoshi letting a collective scream about all the doujins this guy will spawn.

It's a 3 million years window and does giant posture damage against thrust attacks, what do you mean it doesn't do anything special.
Start the fight with a deathblow on him, step on his spear 3 times and you win.

Ninja Gaiden II was way harder man. Play that game on master ninja and you won't ever find another harder 3D game.

Scared the absolute shit outta me first time that happened.

Thrust Counter is done with well timed sidestep, not parry.
I spent an hour trying it and it was driving me insane because I got it specifically in hopes it would make him piss easy and not a single move he did let me do it. Meanwhile literally every fucking random sword, spear or what have you mob before and after him with a thrust attack lets you do it immediately.

I've never seen a step on the spear animation, just a regular sword counter. And I'm not very consistent with the parry timing.

>double apes

You do it with the dodge button, not the deflect button.

I wish you could equip more than 3 prosthetics at once.

Also, I swear to god I can't figure out how to stealth attack him, I was moving so slow in crouch with a gacchins sugar behind him, and he still immediately noticed me when I got too close

Damn, got it. From the 3 samurai monkey+1 drunkard miniboss tarzan away the cliffs after it, then hop onto the tree with 2 hanging corpse onto the flute mansion roof. The entrance is through a hole in the 2nd floor

Fight him 2 on 1 with the samurai NPC and just mash r1 whenever he turns to attack him.

I'm just not consistent enough to fight with parry/dodge/jump when every boss and miniboss kills you in 1 2, max 3 hits. I get the feeling I'm going to be stuck for a long time on these opening acts.

that's what I'm trying to do, I'm probably handicapped

Navigating levels IS easier because stealth is so broken and enemies are so dumb, but bosses and mini bosses are far, far harder.

I don't find it that hard so far. Once you actually learn how the game is supposed to be played it feels about as difficult as other souls games.
You guys just suck at the game and blame it on the game instead of your lacking skill.

Been using this guide to beat the tutorial boss. I'm getting there. youtu.be/dfbmU1WwpZQ
It's been 2 hours and I only managed to kill his first stage once. Yeah the game is hard.

You can use the same tactic in phase 2 as phase 1. Just go ham on her and parry when you get deflected (or jump if she does the sweep with the warning). Make sure to attack her the moment she lands in phase 2 so she doesn't do the illusion shit.
You can also shoot her down with shurikens when she's in the air.

dunno what to tell you dude, I just whacked him twice then dodged towards his ass until he got mad and killed himself

The game actually really opens up after the first real boss in Ashina and you have a ton of different ways to go.

>using a xbox controller
>game controls like shit
no shit

The margin of tolerance for anything less than perfection from the player is smaller than the fucking framerate on plebsoles even allows. If you make one little mistake, your whole (tiny) health bar is fucking gone. It's ridiculous. From have always made challenging games, but there's always been a small but apparent tolerance to fuckups from the player, Sekiro has nothing, you either do shit perfectly or you fucking die, and with how long you have to maintain that perfection at a time (strictly talking about bosses here) it's just infuriating, and I personally get no satisfaction at all out of finally beating something in it, I just feel like I was lucky enough that time not to have the fucking camera spaz out and un-target the enemy yet-a-fucking-gain. I don't know, I just feel like the frustration I'm experiencing is the product of a poor decision to give the player NO leeway whatsoever. I mean look at attack damage vs healing potential, fucking hell I can refill my bar a whopping one and a half times with the not-estus I have, which is about how much damage TWO fucking hits does.

The input windows for parries/counters are very lenient tho as long as you aren't already in the middle of something.
The only annoying thing I find is that some enemies love to deflect into a low sweep that only way to avoid eating it is to jump and it NEVER feels sane to press jump rather than dodge or parry for them.

Dragonrot is a complete meme.
You can cure it very easily and even if you can't because you're outta consumables then it doesn't really do anything besides halting quest lines until you cure it.

DMC5 Hell or Hell beats the shit out of it and it's not close. Hell, fucking Extreme Behemoth from casual MHW is more challenging than anything in Sekiro.

Sekrio is a mainstream Activision title, and every Twitch streamer and zoomer will beat it. Let's not pretend it's some hardcore game.

Attached: 1466688265796.jpg (619x825, 46K)

DMC5 is literally impossible to fail at default difficulty level. The game is easier than CoD. I didn't die once in DMC5 since you could always revive with gold orbs.

Mist Raven is god-tier.

probably the first "souls" game I won't finish

Why won't he fix those fucking teeth. Like, seriously - is getting dental service really expensive in the US, or what?

The dragonrot system is fucking stupid because if I'm on a tough boss fight it's literally more efficient for me to just alt-f4 when I'm close to death.

Thats a lie

>I didn't die once in DMC5
>since you could always revive with gold orbs.
you must be baiting

He's broke as shit.

How is this bait? The default difficulty setting in DMC5 is already piss easy. And if that wasn't enough, the game gives you near infinite revives making any actual death near impossible. You only lose if you choose not to revive.

What do you do with the woman who wants rice? I bought some rice from a nearby merchant but there's no new dialogue option and bitch doesn't react when I pour it on the ground near her.

Using items of any kind in DMC is just a crutch for absolute noobs, if you ever had to use a yellow orb then that's the exact same shit as losing.

Fuck Shield guys. HOLY FUCK.
JUST ATTACK SO I CAN PARRY YOU, YOU DUMB NIGGERS
DO SOMETHING

use the fucking axe.

and DMD / Hell and Hell are infinitely harder than Sekiro

>455571003
>at default difficulty level

get the axe, it's right before those guys.

>Nioh has a much higher, and a much more satisfying skill ceiling as well.
Gonna stop you right there. As someone who got platinum, beat Way of the Nioh and enough of the Abyss where shit just stagnates, all Nioh boils down to is broken builds that just power through everything with 0 effort. Human enemies? Backwave and Tempest
Projectiles? Build a tatenashi set and roll for firearms reduction. Get 100% and literally only melee attacks can hurt you.
Everything else? Weaken, Living Weapon. And that’s not even touching Ninjutsu. Nioh is not a hard game.

idk

>b-but that doesn't count
DMC5 is objectively easier on default difficulty than Sekiro no matter how you twist and turn it. And this is not even mentioning all those free revives you get.

use the axe dumbass

>inb4 I don't have it

HHow the FUCK do I deal with the shichichi warrior or whatever the fuck he's called?
I die to his terror balls before getting even one hit in.

Yeah and those difficulty levels are reserved for top 1% of all players. The game was made to be beaten with ease by zoomers and female players. Don't deny it. DMC5 is piss easy.

Sekiro is ten times harder than DMD.

>but that doesn't count
It literally doesn't, you noob.

>Yeah and those difficulty levels are reserved for top 1% of all players.
Correct, DMC caters to hardcore players, unlike Sekiro which is more casual.

axe you fucking nigger

just avoid the balls until his pattern changes
then hammer him while having that divine whatever item active that makes your sword go purple

there is no way a Sekiro casual could get through Mission 14 on HaH or DMD with an S rank. It's just not happening.

It doesn't count because reviving will destroy your ranking and give you like a D.
The challenge in DMC is S ranking levels, which usually means beating them by taking next to no damage and racking up tons of style points.
You aren't special for being able to beat the game on the default difficulty. Hell, I made it literally to the end of level 15 before I even died.
The first two runs are practice for DMD mode. Urizen DMD and Vergil S rank DMD are both harder than anything in Sekiro, and I'm playing both right now

Tell that to all the casuals that beat the game using revives. They don't care. Neither does Capcom. The game was made to be finished by everyone.

DMC caters to hardcore and casuals alike. Sekiro is pretty much only for hardcore if you want to finish it.

>because reviving will destroy your ranking and give you like a D.
And why would any casual give a shit about this?

Also even when revived, I got A score in several missions.

Spear guy? Get the thrust counter skill.

>Blazing bull
>unlock from target
>keep running behind it and attacking its legs
wtf Yea Forums said this game wasn't like dark souls

>Sekiro is pretty much only for hardcore
Every twitch streamer and zoomer is getting through it just fine. It's not very difficult, just like every other Souls game. If you want difficult I suggest you go play a shmup or God Hand or top difficulty action games.

how the FUCK am i supposed to beat this butterfly cunt

>using crutch weapons
Fucking soulbabies.

Okay maybe but it's harder to kill some of these bosses than it is to practice for S ranks ie don't get hit in DMC aka punching bag simulator.

You know you can pretty much just skip him right?
Jump down in the river, and swim upwards.

no, Sekiro is just simply much easier. There's no denying it caters to a much wider audience. This is an Activision game after all. I'm watching a girl on Twitch right now get through it just fine, even the e-sluts find this game doable.

Still harder than a game where failing is impossible and default difficulty is easier than Ass Creed.

Pretty based, user. I disagree but you've got gumption and I like that

>attack, parry, dodge-counter strike
>attack, parry, dodge-counter strike
She kicked my ass 50 times over and then I managed to fuck her shit in without even losing my first life.
When she goes in the air shuriken the bitch - just run around when she shoots all the illusions at you

you clearly haven't played enough games user

Was that on Easy, or Very Easy?

Sekiro isn't a difficult game. It's made by Activision and everyone on Twitch plays it. It's not as hard as shmups, fighting games, or action games at the highest difficulties / rankings.

Are you admitting that you're a casual?
Sekiro is literally just pattern recognition. Parrying is functionally the same as rolling, only with a slightly harder timing. There's no real layer of execution or strategy required, since enemies can "cheat" by tracking or homing into you, which makes even positioning yourself properly worthless. TBF I haven't beaten the game but I'm 13 hours in and have cleared out most of the areas besides the main questline. I'm lost in Senpuku shrine or whatever its called, so maybe the game does get harder. The game is easy, every boss has taken less than an hour to beat. S ranking Urizen's final phase and Vergil are both way harder on DMD than anything I've seen so far.

The whole point of Nioh difficulty is beating it without the OP shit that carries bad people. You were playing it wrong.

Funny how hard you're dodging the fact that DMC on default difficulty is the easiest game ever made.

>game literally gives you cheat items to beat the game with
>b-but only casuals used them
>also only hardcore players can finish the game
DMCfags aren't making sense anymore. DMC5 was piss easy. DMC3 atleast was hard.

so easy, then.
Congratulations, you are the exact kind of casual that Sekiro appeals to.

Why would you assume that's relevant when he was talking about DMD, and you haven't even played it?

It's demon's souls, kings field or shadow tower for me with this one coming dangerously close.
Great game desu , I think I'll try to platinum it

plenty of games would be easy if you just stayed on easy mode. There's no denying that DMD / HaH are worlds more difficult than Activision's new game.

same here, s ranking revengeance mode was one of my best gaming experience

>DMC can be played from start to finish without dying even once
>somehow it's harder than Sekiro
Absolute state of DMCfags

I remember when DMC had balls and actual difficulty. What happened?

Alright
How do I get more confetti?

>only NG3+ counts guys!
This is like when Activision shills say CoD is hard because there is Veteran mode.

>DMC5 was piss easy.
Show me your rankings (you won't), or show me your Hell and Hell completion (you can't since you can't beat it).

The default difficulty of DMC5 is easy. That's what players are more or less forced to play as until they finish the game.

>I'm watching a girl on Twitch right now get through it just fine,
No you aren't. And thanks for admitting you haven't even played it.

LMAO
Sekiro has what you could call superficial difficulty. Even a 40 year old housewife could beat it because it's just learning enemy strings and then timing your parries properly. Basically you will inevitably die to some enemies because you don't know their pattern yet, but the moment you learn how to exploit that pattern its a guaranteed win.
You literally played DMC with the training wheels on and got mad when you didn't fall over. I'm almost guessing you actually had to use revives on devil hunter, which is even sadder.

spbp

DMC5 is the most difficult game in the series. HaH mode is even worse than 3 DMD, and trying to S rank certain missons on DMD / HaH such as 10, 14, or 18 is the hardest thing in the series.

If you disagree, post your mission rankings.

>CoD was piss easy
Show me you finishing the game on Veteran using only melee attacks, casual!

Don't deflect, answer the question.

Oh shit, this reminds me. DMC5 fucking gives you an auto mode feature aswell. On top of infinite revives. On top of default difficulty being easy. Holy shit.

>That's what players are more or less forced to play as
Wrong. You unlock higher difficulties automatically if you beat the tutorial boss. Whoops, you accidentally revealed you didn't.

Been playing this and dmc5. Honestly I like the simplicity of soulsborne games. You just have to get gud in a very narrow range and apply that for the whole game. Whereas in DMC they still keep throwing new shit at you the whole time, switching characters and expecting you to keep all that in your head. I don't enjoy having to constantly switch up the gameplay style completely.

To beat the game, you literally can finish DMC5 without even thinking. Just mash away wildly and you'll make it. DMC3 required you to learn the game or you weren't seeing the ending.

don't want to, game sucks

BASED

I have to agree with this user

Sekiro is easy, but please, stop kidding yourselves, DMC5 is easy too even on DMD

We can all agree that neither game is harder than CoD since Veteran mode is something else.

The higher difficulties aren't NG+ because you can unlock them right from the beginning if you beat the tutorial boss. Oh well, I guess you didn't so you never found out.

(you are the casual that Activision was hoping to appeal to with Sekiro and HARDCORE marketing)

>arbitrary bullshit now
Go back to your baby game thread.

And what happens if you don't? The game goes on. It never tries to stop you for being shit. Unlike Sekiro which cockblocks you around every corner.

(you0

At least reply to the right person if you're going to be an argumentative little shit you utter retard.

DMD isn't even the highest difficulty this time. Even then, getting an S rank on DMD mission 10, 14, 18 is infinitely more difficult than anything in Sekiro. My sister is playing Sekiro and doing just fine, whereas she won't touch DMC5 because "the controls are too complicated".

and we're done
grow up, id

>completing the game's toughest challenges is "arbitrary"
The game rewards you for S ranks, it's the goal and the toughest challenge.

So just set auto mode for her. A brain-dead monkey can finish DMC5 just fine. It only gets harder on NG+.

dmc4 on dmd is a much harder game than dmc5, because the enemy packs are way more cancer

How many areas are there? How are NPCs? Any bullshit cryptic sidequests? Secret areas a la Painted World?

>And what happens if you don't?
You stay on easy mode like you did, casual. And then you don't even go to the higher difficulties, you move on to casual Sekiro.

After clearing out his little minions, sure. Love those general fights

>NG+
it's not NG+ unless you suck at games

Love this elitist hack and slash shitters
Devil may cry difficulty is fucking overrated, go play ninja gaiden if you want a real H&S you shithead

So the game defaults to easy mode whereas Sekiro is hard no matter how you play.

shmups and fighting games are more difficult than all H&S. Even then, DMC or NGB are infinitely more difficult than Activision's Sekiro (which has one attack button)

>Sekiro is hard
No, not when people like this (zoomer twitch streamer with aspergers) are beating it no sweat. Too bad there's not higher difficulties or a ranking system to give an actual challenge.

>Hell, fucking Extreme Behemoth from casual MHW is more challenging than anything in Sekiro
Imagine being this fucking retarded, Capcom elitist who think they're """hardcore""" with their piss easy games need to grow some balls.
Go play ninja gaiden if you want a real hack and slash or soul sacrifice

I even said MHW is casual. Even then, Extreme Behemoth is more difficult than anything in Sekiro, especially solo. How embarrassing for Sekiro.

millions of people will beat Sekiro. the amount of people who soloed Extreme Behemoth is less than 100 worldwide

There's two hard modes. The second one in NG+ is insane enough that it makes all attacks do like half damage through your guard unless you get perfect deflects.

>you need to be rich to use this
Wooooooooooow

Attached: micronstansaction shuriken.jpg (1920x1080, 500K)

Not a big deal when you can still avoid most attacks. It really hasn't changed much from other Souls games.

>rich
>when its super easy to farm

lmao

easy way unfortunately kill all the other guys , hide get a stealth kill on the spear guy hes down to 1 hp bar now use firecracker and punish i beat EVERY ENEMY ans boss like that always getting first 1 stelth kill then cheesing with firecracker this make the game easier than the souls and i just beaten the spider lady well see if i can keep using the same strategy later

After a point you will have more money than you know what to do with, and if you die you lose half so might as well use it before you lose it
Also, blasting faggots in the face with coinshot is badass, you are literally so rich you can afford to shoot money at things.

I thought so at first, but then it got easy over time

Only took 3 tries for butterfly

yup i use that strategy too, fucking hilarious how easily this game is broken. fucking activision, shit is so casual now.

Shield prosthetic is literally overpowered, it's like a greatshield with a built-in ranged aoe attack.
Later on it even blocks status effects.

It is.

Extreme Behemoth becomes immune to flash bang, retard. Thanks for proving you've never beaten it.

DMC has an easy mode and combo assist mode, that already makes it overall easier game than Sekiro.

>The game rewards you for S ranks,
no it doesn't, the game ends after roughly 10 hours then people drop it.

spegs keep going, for no reason

so for somebody who thinks that the combat of dark souls, demons souls and bloodborn is boring and repetitive is this games combat actually fun and more like a true action game like zelda, god of war or ninja gaidan?

you didn't know what to do and now you pretend that everyone else is the retard.

plenty of games have easy modes, that's meaningless. at the highest difficulties DMC is far beyond Sekiro (an Activision game and popular with Twitch streamers).

playing sekiro is optional, that makes it easier than my morning shit

Sekiro is literally a NIoh without damage numbers and diablo loot in terms of combat.

>and if you die you lose half
Wish I knew this sooner, I wasted a lot.

DMC 5*

No, not really. It's arkham asylum mixed with simon says.

>no it doesn't
It does, you can't 100% the game without S ranks.

>spegs keep going
Casuals like you can't understand why people would want to play challenging games or improve their score

You are a blazing fast ninja you moron.

>Sekiro is literally a NIoh without damage numbers and diablo loot in terms of combat.
Imagine thinking this.

Game difficulty should be ranked by the most basic level you can complete them on. Plenty of games have bullshit difficulty modes like Nier Automata and such, it doesn't instantly make them hard games because most people play them on Normal or Easy.

>Going hyperbole
>YES; HE SAID THAT! THAT WAY I CAN SAY HE'S NEVER BEATEN THE MONSTER, MY GAME'S HONOR IS SAVED!
Beaten it long ago, and the more you cry won't change that fact, so deal with it and go back to your general.
I hope you're not one of those who killed that thing having one dude mounted on it's back holding as long as he can for a good cheese like the capcom sucker you are

and you get nothing for 1005 retard

>Game difficulty should be ranked by the most basic level you can complete them on.
No one cares about easy mode but you, casual.

Nice lies. No one uses flash bangs against Extreme Behemoth since he's immune, you exposed yourself. You probably got him confused with regular casual Behemoth.

Sounds like somebody who didn't play it. So many absolute morons on Yea Forums yeesh

Why do DmC kiddies always shitpost in Sekiro threads? Is it sour grapes?

Attached: dc846vzipv321.png (417x897, 623K)

It IS some hardcore game, though. With DMC 5 you can easily get through the game without touching harder modes, Sekiro is already more challenging than DMD, it's just getting through it with a good ranking is more difficult than simply clearing it. It's like claiming the hardest difficulty on Halo 3 is more challenging than something like Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts.

Where do all this difficult shitheads come from?
You should play a game because you like it, not because you want to brag about it you fucking autistics

>Game difficulty should be ranked by the most basic level you can complete them on.
That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, by that logic than shumps (the most difficult videogames) are easy since they have an easy mode.

I like this game very much but everything destroys me, and I mean literally everything
@ grandma right now

>It IS some hardcore game, though.
No, Sekiro is not a hardcore game. Millions of zoomers and Twitch streamers are playing it and will complete it no problem. These people could never 1CC a shump on normal difficulty, or even do something simpler like get through DMC5 Hell and Hell.

Not that far into the game but parrying and counter attack is lot more intuitive than in dark souls for me and i'm a huge casual.
For that reason i find it a lot easier than previous From games.

Gay

He's saying dumb shit because he's arguing with retards.

Sekiro >>>>>>>> Nier >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DMC5
in difficulty

Sidestep and counter attack her. Don't constantly parry her. Use shurikens on her when she jumps up. Just be aggressive. Also get snapseed.

This post is embarrassing.

Holy kek batman

It's not that they can't, it's that they won't. Because nobody wants to play DmC.

and?

Play the game you dirty nigger.

You can play it on Very Hard the moment you start the game.

But NPCs die from it?

Because they are too scared to post in ninja gaiden or god hand threads
