>wojak
also tl; dr lol

That is true. When can we expect some reading material or animation?

>Yea Forums hates Souls games now
I don't think that is true. A lot of people just hate the bandwagoners in it for some dumbass "hardcore gamer cred" which Souls seems to give normies upon playing it.

Or they hate people making 30 hour lore analysis videos out of them.

But no you still see Souls games and Bloodborne among favorite games ever lists frequently.

I didn't even bother to read all that but the combat is far better than any souls game. Souls combat basically consists of r1 spam or backstab/parry cheesing so complaning about parry spamming when parry doesn't even work against a lot of attacks and needs to be properly timed to affect posture is hilarious.

>no outfits/weapons
God, I fucking hate this. A huge part of the fun of Souls-esque shit is exploring increasingly cool locations and getting outfits and weapons.

So they hate people who enjoy the games...mostly because you're all raging contrarians...Got it.

A bunch. And even ashina Castle is interesting enough, despite the fact that there's like 5 other areas I've visited so far.

I agree and sadly it's intertwined with other things.

Like, the game has no weapons or armor sets.
Okay.
That also means it lacks the whole "fashion souls" thing aka customizing your character. It also means exploration suffers because what are you meant to get excited over when you find it? Ceramic Shard or Sugar #1956?

So what, Souls might be dodge spam but Sekiro is parry spam. That's better somehow?

lppk, op did a wojak edit, its very das epic!! !

Based

Enemies and tools are what I get excited for, esoteric texts, NPCs and quest lines, the mystery of key items you don't have the use for yet. I'm constantly exploring places I've already been in this game and finding new and interesting stuff. If what keeps you hooked on a game is cosmetics you're looking for a different game.

This is the dumbest post Yea Forums has had in 2019 yet
Congratulations

I knew it was going to be shit
it's why I didn't preorder it, unlike das2 & das3
still a letdown though
I feel like it might even be worse than nioh

I had a gut feeling I'd be let down by Sekiro but still bought it and now I hate myself for not listening to my stomach. The stomach always knows.

*BB = Ds1 > DeS >>>>>>> Ds3 >>>>>>> Sekiro >> Ds2

I don't get everyone jerking off the parrying in this game

at butterfly lady and she's all dodging, drunkard was all dodging, basically every miniboss thus far has been all dodging, no parry.

Game's mediocre.

>item in some corner of the map
>wonder what it's gonna be
>always bag of coins, candy, dust, ceramic, oil or pellets

wow exploration is so rewarding

Nah, it's disappointing but not nearly as bad as DaS2.

No other From came comes close to that shitheap.

DS2 isn't nearly as bad as this strange circlejerk on Yea Forums would make one believe.

DaS2 had great pvp

There's a bunch of prosthetic tools to find and they have a skill tree with upgrades. Saying there's no weapons is objetively wrong.

>So what, Souls might be dodge spam but Sekiro is parry spam. That's better somehow?
Parry spam will only get you shit on by the harder bosses, like I said, it needs to be properly timed to affect posture. I'm guessing you rage quitted at the ogre miniboss?

>get a fucking popup for every single shard you pick up even if it's the tenth one in the span of a minute

Funny enough the circlejerk on Yea Forums is actually to the contrary because people define their entire identity here by being contrarians.

Although I'm not so much of an exaggerating retard as OP is, I still wish FROM had made a true Action RPG like Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Why would they neglect their core fanbase like this? They would still be some obscure Jap developer if it wasn't for us.

>ITS NOT DARK SOULS 4 HOLY SHIT IT SUCKS
Can you just fucking kys already, yea it came from the guy who made dark souls, that does not make it dark souls stop fucking saying it should be. From development it was a tenshu game, not a souls, then it got changed so much it became its own thing. It has checkpoints, every game does, you lose stuff when you die, most games do this they are not unique to souls.

Complaining about humanoid bosses in a Souls game means you don't get what makes the combat system so good in the first place.

Because they wanted to make a different game. They made 5 of those already. Everyone will shit on cod, fifa, ass creed but as soon as FROM makes a game that's slightly different you're all crying. You guys who are disappointed because its not souls are pathetic, no one said it would be souls, there's no reason it should be souls. This game has the best gameplay FROM has ever produced.

>thought I was inept & because of that I kept crouching during combat
>I'm not the only one
fuck me

No OP is just spamming a wall of text that's passed around for a while. nu-Yea Forums is upset they missed out on Mass Effect Andromeda and No Man's Sky's shitstorm because they came in during the election, so they keep trying to capture the same feeling so they can feel like they've lived it.

Its only disappointing if you expected it to be another soulsborne game.

>absolutely no atmosphere in the game compared to what soulsborne brought to the table
This is the worst offender. It's insane how contrived and mundane everything is, from the music, the atmosphere, the lore, the characters, the voice acting, the setting, the level design, the flavor text of everything... Even the main character, Jesus Christ, when you make a set main character, you have to make him as strong as possible; this guy is just your random gruff, he has zero personality. Should've made him customizable and voiceless, at least you can self-insert and make him good your own way.

Combat is good though, even though it was its issues. But everything else is disappointing.

every single change to make it further away from dark souls made the game worse

I knew it wasn't going to be a soulsborne game in the same way I knew nioh wasn't going to be a soulsborne game
they're both just inferior rather than different

Oh yeah, you're the genius OP, you saw through all the bullshit. Never mind all the satisfied gamers, the reviewers, Youtubers, the fact that it is the most streamed game on twitch, all that. Nope, you are the correct one, it is indeed, a shit game. Good job OP!

What a fag you are.

Wait what? I though crouch was pressing the left stick?

Wrong.

I legit started clearing the game like it was nothing after that. First trying most bosses, from butterfly to double ape. All you need is this and know which tools are the best ones for the job.

Yes, and it causes you to crouch mid combat which makes you unable to block/dodge etc. Pressing it mid combat isn't hard to do.

>first real enemy have dark souls 2 tier magnet grab spam
>one shot btw

Nice """""hard"""""" game bro

What the fuck does crouch have to do with parrying

Thanks for the rundown. Appreciate it

If you crouch mid combat it fucks you over and you can't parry/move properly.

Go die in a fire already

what controller is everyone use? I'm not experiencing this at all.

you'd really hate armored core and lost kingdoms

You're still expecting a souls experience though.

How on earth are you crouching while in combat you neanderthal, are you gripping your controller so hard you crouch?

JUST GOT THE GAME!
Not tot happy that people have beaten the game 2 days after a release.
Hell even Dark souls,bloodborn took at least a week for peole to beat.

How long is this game?

what would you consider a souls experience?

i want to die
why cant i git gud

It's not an rpg and it's not trying to be so this criticism about the lack of builds or armor is retarded.

The only valid criticism here is that the stealth mechanics suck.

A fromsoft game with souls in its name.

bloodborne wasn't even short though

Because you can accidentally press it mid combat due to the binding, user. Just finished uploading my example webm (0:50): my.mixtape.moe/bcbyzj.webm

>DSfags can't understand this is Dark Souls
>This proves Dark Souls is garbage!
But its not Dark Souls

It’s litterally just another soulsborne game but with less equipment and variety. Art direction feels uninspired too. Probably a good game but I’m fucking bored of this formula from FromSoft. Miyazaki is a one trick pony since demons souls came out.

t. FromSoft fan

I also need to find some better way to swap/use items
every time i swap items I use it as well because 360's dpad is fucking horrible

But you are, though? You're not me, you probably have a different concept of what a souls experience is. Assuming you're OP, you even compared it to other soulsborne games, so clearly you expected it to be the same experience.

This game is getting shiposted almost as most as Bloodborne
Do souls faggots literally want From to make the same game forever or what?

Yea Forums, how do you counter the scream?
You're not honestly expected to just hit him once and then back up in the fear that his next move will be the aoe. That would take like a half an hour.

the hardest thing in this game is getting DS4 to work. i tried ds4windows but within a few minutes, audio stops working when i have headphones plugged in the controller.

For the most part yeah sadly.

Check your sound settings and the default audio device

>I'm bad so the game is bad

LOL SHITTERS

You are fucking retarded. Stop gripping your controller like a rabid ape.

Good thing it isnt supposed to be on a soulsborne chart at all so everyone can laugh at you

what's with people having trouble with this? i've been using my ps4 controller through steam with no problems

I want them to make good games
is that really so much to ask for?

I wouldn't mind if they made a good fps or a good tactical RPG as long as it's fun to play
whenever I boot up sekiro I want to turn it back off. I've never had this when playing other "good" games
this usually leads to me taking longer & longer between sessions until I eventually just don't bother booting it anymore and uninstall it, like I did with nioh
I'm likely still like 60-80% done with nioh and I don't even know if I still have it installed or not

das2 has received shit ever since its release
mainly justified since the PvE aspect was significantly worse than DaS

>When you absolutely cannot bring yourself to give a fuck about the Feudal-Japan aesthetic and completely bypass Nioh, Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima

Imagine forcing yourself to get angry and disappointed at games purely because of who makes them. Okami and Tenchu proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that no game using the old Japan setting can EVER be good and worth your time. They're always overhyped garbage. Onimusha, Dynasty Warriors, the list goes on. Stop falling for the feudal-meme.

Just trying to help some anons, no need to be so butthurt like that. Some people just grip/press hard during action games.

That's gonna be a yikes from me bro.

>I'm retarded
Yes thanks for telling us.

No one is saying Sekiro is bad because it's not Dark Souls 4. It's simply bad on its own.

Yeah apart from NPCs and side queats, entire skill trees, prosthetic tools which help with a wide variety of enemy types, minibosses that give the items that literally upgrade your health and posture, along with other non key items which help you along the way. Yeah, nothing.

Exploration sucks because no items to find, because no armour/weapons/spells
Worldbuilding sucks because there's no items to attach information to, because no armour/weapons/spells.

Face it, this is the most legitimate complaint in the game of all. The game lacks content, pure and simple. If it wanted to balance this it could have more dialogue with NPCs, more cutscenes before bosses, more story segments, but it jsut behaves like a Souls game instead. Bland, soulless, empty.

Your preset main character is also extremely boring and a non-character that makes me question how it's any better than just having a gormless silent OC like in other games - most of his fucking responses are just "...." or silence, like fucking say something you dull, bland twat. I

>the game is SUPPOSED to have shit exploration, shit replayability and only one weapon - so it's okay!

Alright

Use your sanic speed to escape aoe

so did fallout 76

Not in the slightest, it's the same combat as dark souls but you tap lb instead of holding it, not very intuitive or forward thinking. Even a scrub could win in that situation.

Weapons change gameplay.
More weapons = good because = more variety in gameplay

Don't worry you'll understand it some day.

Why are items in the game so useless

You're confusing more weapon variety being good with having one weapon being NECESSARILY bad.

Why are white phantoms appearing to fight me in old places

I was most surprised by the music being so bland, I've played asian setting games with great music (Like Okami). But there's not a single memorable track here. Is Yuka Kitamura a hack? I guess the outsourced composers on BB/DKS were the good ones?

Attached: 1548534677226.jpg (576x803, 62K)

Having one weapon isn't necessarily bad.
But in Sekiro's case, the game suffers from only having one weapon with a mediocre moveset.
You might disagree, but that's my opinion.

You fucked up by getting on the hype train

All the animations for using them are explicitly long enough for enemies to come in and hit you when they read your inputs, as every enemy does in the game, meaning a lot of the time it's a complete waste to even try

GIT. GUD.

or stay mad ;')

when I say explore, I mean looking for all the grapple points, ledges you can drop down into, open buildings, etc.

a hallway with a hole blasted into it and an item in that hole right on the main path isn't rewarding exploration

I gave it a fair chance but even now near the end of it the game is still not good.

I guess I can agree, it really doesn't put a dent in to the experience for me because this is probably my favourite combat system in any game I've ever played personally. It is odd though, considering the sheer number of weapons in the game used by enemies that are so beautifully animated.

Wow how original. Only person #19348 trying to imply that everyone disliking or criticizing Sekiro is only doing so because they are "mad cuz bad cuz cant summon help".

How clever of you. Amazing rhetoric skills.

Is this the Sekiro thread?
So does resurrecting really increase dragon rot? It seems like dying in general does it

the easiest way to know if it's safe to completely disregard someone's opinion is if they talk about how souls multiplayer was good in any game except demon's souls

I quit the game once I reached that misty, foggy forest. It wasn't even THAT hard but I just lost interest in it. That place feels like a huge disconnect from what I initially thought the game was going to be like, and I feel like it's only going to get worse from there.

I just can't stay interested enough in it anymore after I realize there's no customization as well as no variety in most of your moves once you get used to them. I'd probably give it a 7.6/10 or so. worth pirating at least

How long until we can actually criticise the game's flaws without getting le git gud response?
I enjoyed the game a lot but it's far from perfect and not every criticism stems from difficulty.

I love this game, and all the seething on Yea Forums just makes me enjoy it more

Yeah but that isn't really how it works. Exploration is going off the beaten path, like the barrel merchant, the NPC you save from the samurai, some entire areas can be missed if you just take the path to the main objective. I just disagree with what oyre saying fundamentally.

Wow what a fucking great game.
Truly the true ninja experience.

I'm glad armor/weapons/spells and custom characters died for this atrocious stealth system that's actually more barebones than Dark Souls 1 which had Luring Skulls, Throwing Knifes, and didn't let you sneak up on enemies without walking slowly or using items.

I had plenty of fun invading people in Souls games. Bloodborne not so much but BB was amazing in its own way.

In the Souls games I spent hundreds of hours invading people though. I even made multiple characters with specific outfits at specific SL ranges just for that.
Why didn't you like it?

>ds2>sekiro
I was expecting Sengoku Souls, but it's can't be that bad.

I'm so glad the execution animation makes you invulnerable

Good bait man.
Seriously, just finish the fucking the game before you come and make these kinds of threads.
The complaints you're listing have been made since day 1, and they're neither original nor (mostly) legitimate

Probably never.
You still can't criticize MHW without having some retard console warrior call you a "seething tendie" or whatever.

how do I get good? I find the parry stuff boring and annoying but it seems like the only way. I suck at it, I'm getting my ass handed to me by the Shinobi hunter early on.

Sekiro is great, OP is just regurgitating shit that's been passed around since the first trailer

>Sekiro is one of the biggest disappointments in recent history.
Only if your a fucking loser with nothing else to look forward to in life

I expected nothing from this game and I am pleasantly surprised by it. GOTY so far

I'm near the end of the game and everything I said is legitimate. You REEEEing because other people have brought up the same thing (that should tell you it's an actual issue) doesn't change that, captain autismo.

I'm just pointing out the obvious.
I don't remember asking you for your opinion.

I'm still having fun. I think you've got the wrong mindset here, you gotta stop thinking of this game as a souls sequel. It gets better as you progress.
If (You) can even do that, that is.

spear cunt?
get the skill that you have to get in order to play the game, then just do it to him 4 times

>I was expecting sengoku souls
You're an idiot, also, OP is bait and this game is damn great.

You haven't played the game.
Finish it and then come back with real criticism, because most of what OP said either doesn't matter, or is just false.
It's not a Soulsborne title.

DaS>BB>DS3>Sekiro>DeS>>>>>>>>power gap>>>>>>>>>>>DS2

I don't know what to think about it. I was hyped as fuck and played literally the minute it released for 6 hours straight. I haven't launched the game since because it just didn't give me much reason to want to. I have other, more urgent games to continue on.
I have over 1000 hours combined across Soulsborne.

Attached: 75e.gif (480x270, 1.85M)

Objectively correct.

I'm almost done with the game, so yes I have. Pretty poor attempt at dismissing my criticism though.

Don't post again unless your IQ goes above room temperature.

Is that why it's a critical and commerical success?

>even the sekiro general on /vg/ is starting to agree that the game isn't quite souls/bb level of good a few days after it came out
>spastic shitposters on Yea Forums going "NO NO EVERYTHING IS WRONG UR JUST BAD THE GAME IS PERFECT"
Hmmm

My point is, Dark Souls is by no means a Stealth game nor does any of it require any stealth or is designed around stealth.

But it still has better stealth than this ninja game with stealh mechanics. It's the same developer so I expect more, not less.

Yes it does, anyone who claims otherwise either hasn't played it, or never got very far into it

Seriously, just play the game

Dark Souls 2 is the highest rated Souls game. Are you saying it's the best Souls game?

Yeah, there's definitely some things wrong with it, like hit detection, lack of weapons, screen tearing and other stuff, but otherwise it's pretty decent.
I like how you can approach combat and navigating areas in multiple ways. I'm confused about dragon-rot basically being world tendency from demon's souls, but it does make you more cautious.

>Zoomers unironically think Yea Forums hates souls games
Every souls game is kino except 2

parry is the equivalent of using shield in previous souls game
if you see a stab, you can dodge and then do whatever
if you see a sweep, you can jump and then do whatever
if you're panicking or not paying enough attention, you can just spam L1 to be safe
if you see ABUNAI kanji, you can press B for mikiri counter and then do whatever

>>absolutely no atmosphere in the game compared to what soulsborne brought to the table
seriously, the game would actually have atmosphere if you had to walk around everywhere, taking it all in.
One time I stopped using the grappling hook to travel for a bit and instantly noticed exploration felt way more interesting and immersive.
but too bad all the doors are fucking locked, forcing you to use it all the time.

Is there anything in the Riven Cave besides the passage to Ashine Depths? I'm going around killing monkeys

I have to admit it's a little disappointing knowing that when you look around and explore you're basically just going to find rock candy and a handful of ash.

>lack of weapons
But other people just told me that calling the lack of weapons a negative isn't valid criticism and that I'm just seething because I'm bad?
Which is it now?

I think that user is saying that other anons criticize sekiro because there is no multiplayer, and it's safe to just ignore those opinions.

Attached: 1549420991670.png (512x512, 687K)

Oh, I see. The thing is that they reused their engine, which is is fucking trash, so it doesn't accommodate for that very well. Sadly the best you can do here is just upgrade the stealth skills since they break the game and don't think about it.

A greatshield maybe, you can't block boss attacks for shit in Souls. You are always better off rolling through stuff

I mean, the game would probably have more replayability if it DID have multiplayer, would it not?

It already doesn't have different weapons or char creation which would be things contributing to replayability and making people go for a second playthrough or whatever.

That is a huge flaw of the game for sure. I forgot what you even get in Nioh for exploring since the game is just Diablo loot.

I thought sekiro has the worst rating of recent fromsoft titles

>DURR you this game is beyond critique, if you dislike it it's ONLY because of the difficulty nevermind that there's people who have completed the game and felt it was boring dogshit hurrrr

>get the Mortal Blade
>can't actually use it beyond one Combat Art and a few executions
really disappointed in that desu

Wow, almost like this isn't a Souls game anymore and should stop playing it with the expectations of a Souls game

>Which is it now
Whatever you think it is.
Personally, I like how there's multiple fighting styles you can learn, and the upgrades to the prosthetic arm let you approach combat in different ways.
Even if you only have one sword, there's lots of different fighting styles, and everyone plays with their own playstyle, usually.

You really are not allowed to criticize anything in Sekiro. Exploration, setting, atmosphere, weapons (or lack thereof), the stealth part of it, the level design, the seemingly random placement of preset grapple points or who knows what.

Doesn't matter. Nothing is valid, everything is a lie and you're just "mad because you can't summon help to kill bosses for you".
Yea Forums is amazing like that.

Never had an intresst in 76 or Anthem from the start, not my kind of vidya. Most of the things you dislike are cause this is not a Dark Souls or Bloodborne game, it was marketed with that in mind from the start so stop complaining that it was not a Soulsborn game. I like the game and i agree with a few of your points like that the stealth in the game is bare bone asf. The rock papper scissor combat is how it was advertised, and it is also just with a few enemies, like the apperition type enemies. I do agree that the you mostly spam parry, with the Centipede boss i just spam block. Not against the other ones, they punish you in the long run if you are not careful. I also think that there was just a few prostetic weapons, not many cool ones. AND JUST THREE NINJUTSU moves? That is lame, the are cool but just three? Come on.

BB---DES---DS1----Sekiro----DS3----DS2. I love all of these games but this is my rating.

What if I didn't expect a Souls game but just expected a great Miyazaki game and was disappointed because I think it isn't all that great?

I also fucking hate how you can only hang from ledges that have semen dripping off it

>oh you see this cliff wall?
>can't hang from it, no semen
>oh that rooftop ledge?
>does it have semen?
>no?
>too bad, you can hang from the one under it though, look at all that semen

so it's overrated?

I can't tell if that list is best first or best last, because either way it's horrible

HOW DO I DO GUARDIAN APE FIGHT
HE BODIES ME INSTANTLY AND I CANT GET HITS IN

I feel like person A made the levels and then some person B was told to "go over it" and "place some usable ledges and grapple points" without care.
Like sometimes some spot has so many grapple points immediately next to each other it makes no sense. And then the exact same "set piece" of architecture shortly after has none at all.

>void

God Hand is actually fun, though.

>Is Yuka Kitamura a hack?
Of course she fucking is, have you heard Dark Souls 3's soundtrack? Can you hum ONE tune from that shitty soudntrack?
The most memorable part of it were the 3 piano notes at Soul of Cinder that came straight from Gwyn's theme, and the first seven notes (two seconds) of Sister Friede.

To this day everyone remembers every single tune of Demon's Souls soundtrack, and most of Dark Souls 1.

Bloodborne's soundtrack also sucks.

DS1>>BB>>DS2>>DS3>>Sekiro
the only true rating.

Why do people dislike DS3 so much?

This is the main thing people keep forgetting.
I actually kinda got burnt out on invading in dark souls. It's great until it turned into people just setting up gank squads with copy paste builds no matter what soul level you're at.
There's no originality any more. When it first came out, the multiplayer was great. Now you can't invade in one single area in ds3 without the host getting escorted by 2 phantoms, and having blue phantoms show up on top of that.
It's just sad watching people get carried through the ENTIRE game.
There's nothing wrong with that, but I just don't understand why so many people would play the game like that.
Can't even do joke invasions and drop black knight weapons (my favorite) anymore because of the paranoia caused by hackers permanently fucking up your character.

DS1>BB>DeS>Sekiro=DS3>>>>>>>>DS2

A lot of sekiro bosses are r1 spam though.

Really it's more that games like Souls and Sekiro just attract some of the worst types of people to them. That user is right, the vast majority of people are just slogging their way through this game so they can brag that they beat it. Never mind that most of these people will finish the game with 500+ deaths under their belt and cheesed everything, they'll just brag about how they didn't find it hard because they aren't a casual.
I enjoy a challenge in games, most people do. But seriously fuck you if you think you're a better player because you waded through 50 hours of shit to beat a game.

because it's linear souls

Then you're not a moron like these people putting it in souls rating lists.

The thing with Souls games for me is that they're not ALL about the gameplay.

I mean yes gameplay is the most important part of a video game by far, sure, but Souls games consist of so much more. Just the "feeling" of the world. The way you move around in it, find things and so on. The entire audiovisual experience.
And Sekiro doesn't really do that well imo.

Yes yes I know Sekiro is not a "Souls" game.

>ogre can one shot you with multiple moves
>takes 80 odd hits to kill
>game punishes you every time you die

Fuck this game.

Yes.

>Everyone will shit on cod, fifa, ass creed but as soon as FROM makes a game that's slightly different you're all crying.
People aren't asking for a fifa game without a football in it though, they're just asking for the game to not be lazily made with gamebreaking bugs and no graphics improvements in 5 years.

Dark Souls 3 PvP was shit from launch, It was always a 3/4v1 in the host's favour

What? Sekiro does that pretty well for It's setting I think you just like the apocalyptic feel of ds

I'd be able to live with you ranking Sekiro above DS2 (though I don't), but to rank it above DS3 or any other is just ridiculous.

This, brother. So much this.

The world, the setting, the exploration, the environmental storytelling, the atmosphere, the lore, the music, the sound design, the voice acting, the flavor text, the art direction, the level design, the NPCs.

Sekiro has zero care put in all of this. Only the combat is good, and even that has its issues.

Yeah pretty much how I feel, glad someone out there agrees.

I'm enjoying Sekiro a lot but this two-apes-at-once boss can go fuck itself. The smaller ape would die super quickly if I was constantly getting swiped by shit I can't see by the big one. This isn't fun at all; it seems like how things go when the second ape appears is based on sheer chance of what the big one will do.

Game got good after killing the corrupted monk. Also the last boss (Isshin) made me want to die so that's great. It got really good in the end.

Usually when you see "Dead ends" like that, you're meant to access them from an entirely different area, and use them to unlock shortcuts to a previous area.
The only time that actually fucked with me was when you're going through that temple place after the abandoned dungeon and you have to jump down and hang off a ledge, then continue.
Some places look like dead ends, but it's just hidden really well.

It's a fine defense for anyone using Ops arguments, because they're wrong, invalid or make no sense because that post was written before anyone had even played the game.

Why the fuck do people think sekiro is a souls game it shouldnt be compared to souls as much as it is. Its farther from souls game than Nioh. Every game from soft puts out doesnt have to be souls

Would be based as fuck. Wielding farming implements as weapons. Fighting feral half-man, half-dingo anubis monsters. Endless pyramid dungeons. Mummies and shit. Fuck I'm hard as a rock.

If they hadn't made dark souls, where do you think FROM would be now? They certainly would not be getting the kind of attention they have been, chances are they wouldn't even be making games anymore because no one bought their games prior to souls.

>your complaints are just because it's not souls
garbage

Soulshit always had horrid clunky gameplay, the gameplay itself was never the main attraction. It was always about worldbuilding, setting, and interesting mechanics around the core gameplay, but most importantly doing things differently from the rest of the current developers. Which is completely lost when you churn out shitty sequels like some CoD trash.

Well, it wasn't to anyone with good taste anyway, Reddit fucking loves it because the game is "hard" in a way that can become easier without actually putting in effort to get better. Enemy pattern memorization is basically the way forward in Soulshit, doesn't matter if you're awful, as long as you die enough to the boss to memorize the patterns, you'll get by. This is why they sperg out at Sekiro so hard, memorizing patterns doesn't work as well, and that makes them face reality.

>because they're wrong, invalid or make no sense

Perfect example of a Soulsfag right here: "you don't like it because you can't git gud". First off you assume Soulshit is hard, which shows you're an underage, a causal, or both, because they are only harder than the most mainstream trash franchises, anyone with better taste than that has played plenty of harder games. Secondly, you indirectly brag about your skills at Soulshit and try to use that as credit towards your argument, again this shows Soulshit is very appealing to internet faggot cred people (the kind very common on Reddit), because it's "hard" while still letting these skill-less talent-less subhumans beat it and therefore get more "gamer cred" (the most blatant examples of people acting like this are gaymur gurls, for example).

DeS and DaS were good, but the community is some of the most cancer-infested of all.

I'm really enjoying Sekiro a lot but there is one major issue I have with it and it's the same with the soulsborne games by fromsoft. The input is so goddamn leniet. I fucking hate how when you press dodge/roll twoce but the second one doesn't come out and after the first roll you might realize you want to do some other shit but because you mistimed the input for the second roll a little too early you gotta commit to it anyways.

far better than DeS or DaS, only DaS3 competed with DaS2 for PvP

Gotta be honest seeing all these people turn on Sekiro after a few days and pointing out its flaws is nice.

Maybe there is hope for Yea Forums after all, some good taste still to be found.

Yes and the very best From PvP is still shit PvP. If you want unbalanced medieval weapons melee PvP there is For Honor now. While that is also shit, it's a lot better than anything you can get out of Souls PvP

It incentivizes being methodical and not mashing.

>>NO DON'T DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT JUST GIVE ME THE EXACT SAME THING I'VE HAD BEFORE IT'LL NEVER GET STALE I PROMISE JUST PUT A COUPLE OF NEW BELLS AND WHISTLES SO IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU'RE OUT OF IDEAS
This is the best you cuck shills fags can offer? LOL, how sad

From struck gold once with Souls and has done well reiterating on it.

Now they try to do something "different" aka just removing features and making it worse all around and we're supposed to be hyped?

Mad because you can't get passed Lady Butterfly aren't you.

Fucking manbaby. You were aware of everything you posted if you paid ANY attention to the game at all. If you knew all that and still went into it, that's your fault. How the fuck do people not know their own tastes in vidya by now? Congratulations, you're the cancer that big studios market towards because you'll buy whatever you see on the front of /r/gaming just to fit in with everybody else. Epic thread, faggot.
This, game is pure casual filter and pretty god damn good if you persevere past the learning curve.
Stay mad, babbies who did nothing but turtle, overlevel, and spam pre-nerf lightnight attacks in souls games.

It doesn’t have any of that, except for one weapon. And, yes. It’s supposed to have one weapon.

What were you expecting coming in? All the game footage prior to release should have been enough to give you an idea of exactly why the game was gonna be like.

>What were you expecting coming in?
A good game considering it's made by Miyazaki and From.
What a letdown.

DMCucks are so angry at this game lol

>tfw you have to learn how to play the game

Yeah you're not supposed to parry the fucking ogre dude, just sprint around it and hit and run if you don't have fire.

pop in one of those candies that increase your resistance to attacks for a while, you might be able to take in a few more hits from the ogre

but that's not what I've been taught by the game. I've been taught to parry, not dodge.

I thought that at first too and suddenly I just got good. Not bullshitting you here, after you learn the game it actually becomes kinda easy save for a couple bosses.

Here's a HOT TIP for you:
Deflecting, jumping, running and attacking are all TOOLS you use according to the SITUATION.

Some guys are parry heavy, some are better dodged.

Wow, what a strange concept eh?

>>common enemies deal lots of damage
no they fucking don't
you need to get hit like 80 times for them to kill you and you can start blocking at any point in that chain

just don't bother deflecting & the game becomes stupid easy, just keep holding block button and you can't die to normal enemies

>FROM changes nothing
>FUCKING REHASH SHIT, MYAZAKI YOU HACK

You epic gamers sure do make me laugh.

This reminds me too much of early Metal Gear Rising shitposting, that means the game must be good. Pirating rn.

>>FUCKING REHASH SHIT, MYAZAKI YOU HACK
Said no one. I WANT them to just keep making Soulsborne games. It's the only thing they can do.

Sekiro didn't "change" things for the better, all it did was remove features.

MGR is a good game, unlike Sekiro
Although the non-bossfight parts of it were snoozefests

>zero weapons or armor sets to find
That's a positive
>no character creation or customization, everyone plays the same Wolf and always will
Who cares
>way too many human enemies despite a few oddities later on in the game
Odd enemies are boring killing humans is fun

Attached: nip girl in snow.jpg (768x1024, 77K)

but attacking normally deals so little damage, it's like fighting Havel right after getting to Undead Burg. Clearly it's better for me to parry mini-bosses since it takes less time.

It's just bad game design if I have to be asking these fucking questions.

What is a cuck shill fag even? I'm not sure what you're even trying to argue anymore, how do you get this far down the rabbithole?

My argument was that they have not done that much different except remove and strip down the souls genre without substituting the stripped down parts with new elements.

how do you defend having fun?

Its not that the game is hard, which is fine. Its HOW its hard. The actual gameplay is boring and fails to draw in the player.

contra isn't that hard with the lives cheat
ghosts & goblins on the other hand, jesus christ
couldn't even beat it with a savestate at the start of each level
ninja gaiden is nice, but there's too much bullshit like "enemy spawns mid jump and you have to land on first pixel of platform and immediately kill them to not die"

he tells you when you deathblow him enough times

This game becomes ludo once you figure out the combat
R1 them till they perfect parry you then counter parry them back
Charged thrust/spear through guards
Shuriken on jumping
Also you are a blocking god, anything without 危 signs is parriable even attacks from giant beasts.

bringing up mhw out of nowhere makes it very obvious how much of the anti-sekiro shitposting is coming from the switch discord because it's exclusively not on the switch.

Attached: 20190324193345_1.jpg (1920x1080, 484K)

like you right?

I figured out the combat and still find Sekiro lacking.
I mean, the game's issues are not just gameplay related. In fact that's the one thing it does kinda well, but it's so lacking in all other ways.

the combat itself is the worst part, the whole thing revolving around parrying and posture makes it so tedious to play

it really just feels like an improved version of the witcher 3's swordfights where enemies block all your attacks if you don't time them right, then they stun you and attack, the combat is based around doing counters rather than skill or strategy

just boring desu

dude just git gud

so what's your point? do you want from to turn into a rich man's game freak, just churning out annual souls rehashes and never deviating from the formula?

>the God Hand of this gen
Not even fucking close in any way, shape or form. God Hand is basically the best character action game ever made, and kept hidden from all but autists by way of a pure shit wrapping. Sekiro is a Tenchu soulsborne, not even the same department.

I bet you only play games like dwarf fortress and have a rage boner against everything that has more than 2 bits of graphics

>dude why do you even criticize something? just enjoy it
Woah

This is the basedest post Yea Forums has had in 2019 yet
Congratulations

What the fuck are you talking about?

I perfect frame parry in this game every time, without crouching. Bosses drop like flies to me. You're the one standing a the guardian ape's terror scream and BEING hit by it. How are you that bad that you can't either break him out of it or dodge it entirely.

I've no hit the majority of bosses in this game because it was so fucking easy, and here you are angrily gripping your controller with no finesse because you can't coordinate your hands properly to press LB in time without pressing LS.

You're a dumb nigger brainlet. Get fucking good.

A lot of your complaints apply to Bloodborne as well if you're comparing it to the Souls series and yet it ranks 2nd best?

Sorry, try playing the game next time so your opinions can be remotely specific about something related to the game itself and not your bias.

I get you. The game plays fucking great but I feel the atmosphere isn't as good. The battle music in normal areas is repetitive as hell and actually took away from the experience. They should have just kept music for minibosses and bosses and have simple taiko drum beats when you get detected
I don't mind the lack of equipment and weapons but the absolute worst thing about them being gone is that almost every item you pick up is just some boring consumable shit
I want to read more lore and find more shit, that's why I explore in souls games. Hell even Nioh did this better with the dead spirits and their memories, maybe Sekiro should have more lore pickups

Imagine being bad and dying to the same shit dozens of times.

WARNING

This is a falseflag post made by a Sekirodrone to paint people criticizing Sekiro as seething shitters who are only mad because they keep getting bodied

Do not fall for their tricks.

a refund?

Even if you deflect him he chips health away, wait until you see his sword shine a little because he's about to attack, dodge left and R1 him
If you dodge right he's still able to sweep you a little so dodge left every time

that feeling when you just enter the zone, i was struggling with the centipede/giraffe ninja fight, then one try it just clicked and i parried every move perfectly

Tips? He has only one move, learn the timing and he'll drop dead 5 sec flat.

Maybe you shouldn't have done the same thing over and over after each death like a dumbass. It's understandable, though, usually taking a break and trying again after a couple hours helps

Nah, man. I hated Dork Souls for its artificial difficulty and I have no idea why I expected anything else from Sekiro. At least Dork Souls had some pretty cool areas.

ds is anything but artificial difficulty, its pretty fair , you can fall off a ledge so can the bosses, etc

Essentially this. Yea Forums has once again been outed for being shit at vidya.

Fought him early today, it's pretty easy. His meter builds like crazy.

Stop thinking of enemies as health bars and focus on the posture meter, it's what did it for me.

>same thing over and over

You mean spamming L1 to parry? Unless you're frame-perfect, you lose 1/3 of your HP even from trash mobs and that's just bullshit.

So, the Seath fight was fair with that curse bullshit and the longest boss run in the game? The Artorias fight was fair with the retarded hit detection? The stray demon fight was fair with his fat ass nuking everything in sight? The Gwyn fight was fair with his constant combos and ridiculous boss run? Yeah, nah, cunt.

Fuck wrong thread, ignore that.

I keep seeing so much talk about how criticisms arent being taken seriously about Sekiro. But what actually are the criticism? Don't just say something like "atmosphere sucks, combat sucks." Elaborate. Use specific examples and discuss these systems in the context of the games design. What are your criticisms?

>I don't like that it's different than soulsbourne
>I don't like that it's different than soulsbourne

>I don't like that it's different than soulsbourne
>Actual critique
I haven't played it so I'm not defending it's quality, but this is exactly the type of non-critique I expected. Any time a studio takes a lateral move from a popular series everyone whines about how it's different without explaining why the differences are actually bad.

>this revisionism

Do you really need to be told why having only 1 weapon is worse than having, say, 8 different weapons all with their own move sets?

Do you also need your mommy to help you poopy?

>seath
didn't it show you what it did before you even fought him? are you a fucking retard
>The Artorias fight was fair with the retarded hit detection

>The Gwyn fight was fair with his constant combos and ridiculous boss run
why would you hate on the best boss in the game

>disliking lack of enemy variety
>durpadurp is no sulsburn

Why it it so important theres 8 weapons? That would change how they'd have to design enemies since they'd need to account for 8 different movesets.

better yet, can you give an example where the moveset provided by the game isnt sufficient, and its a flaw that there arent more weapons?

Never liked soulshit games but this one is good

Man, the problem with that fucker is the camera if anything. When will From fix that piece of shit?
Almost couldn't reply because of the captcha, FUCK YOU HIRO.

Attached: dab frog.png (554x400, 66K)

>FUCK YOU MOOT
Who?

>isn't sufficient
What a retarded approach.
It's not sufficient because the one moveset is boring as fuck and having only that means this game has zero replayability

The stealth is completely braindead and barely functional despite it being a huge part of the game. It feels like playing a bethesda game except you start with 100 sneak from the get go.
The actual combat is alright if a bit too rigid in how you're supposed to do things, but boss fights drag on for far, far too long despite losing your focus for even a second being hugely punishing. There's some good ones like Genichiro but most of them suck.
Sword arts are mostly worthless, I can think of one single instance where one of them has been good.
Prosthetic tools are again mostly useless EXCEPT using the right tool to deal with specific enemy types, which is fine except enemies weak to specific things are rather rare and are usually just random mooks you should be stealth killing anyway.
Also the camera is absolutely atrocious and whoever decided that getting to close to a wall should break lock on should be hanged.

Game's just boring and unfun.
I got far enough to consolidate my opinion so all the "u just died to lady butterfly xd" shitposters don't bother me.

Not as pathetic as your post
Get dabbed on loser

OH SHIT

Sekiro is not a souls game. Not only it doesn't belong to the series, but it's a different type of game altogether, more in line with an action adventure title ala Tenchu. Miyazaki even said the project started as a Tenchu game and then evolved into something more.
Everyone dissapointed with this game expected something the devs never intended, and oh boy they've said it dozens of time prior to the release.
It's not the first time From makes something that isn't a souls-like, and I don't see why that's a bad thing. I'm having a great time so far.
