SEKIRO HAS GOOD COMBA---

is there no stamina at all in this game? he never stops doing anything in this webm, and that seems way more fun than dark souls but also way easier if you can endlessly dodge and swing

there isn't.

Looks like fun.

they took away stamina, but made it really easy to die
stamina doesn't mean much, because the way they designed most of the enemies, you get punished for doing the wrong "counter" (dodge/jump/parry)

Enemies don't stagger, or at least you can never be sure that they will, so it doesn't make it much easier.
But, you can interrupt your own attacks to throw up a block/parry, so constantly swinging is usually a good strategy.

Is everyone here retarded?
The point is without stamina, its literally just R1 spam with the occasional dodge. The point isn't to do with difficulty or hotboxes.

youtube.com/watch?v=t-bB0NNxPFA

Sekirocucks will defend this boss design.

Is this a bait thread?

>People quit the game over this guy

OP BTFO

You're meant to rapid parry

>its literally just r1 spam with occasional dodge.

So like most souls games?

I wish my ogre gave me an attack pattern like that. Holy shit.

Seriously he's just spamming the same slash over and over with the occasional press X to awesome thrown in. People are praising this? Looks like an infinitely worse Nioh.

the stamina is still there, they just called posture and it's only used for blocking now
attacking doesn't drain posture but the enemies mostly block now, and that drains your posture

No stamina but you can get easily 1-3 shotted by most bosses and mini-bosses. The entire point of combat is basically to never get hit. It's more fun but way harder than Dark Souls. You can't just grind and level up to beat bosses you are stuck on too, you have to get good.

it's cherry picking

I mean he's clearly avoiding attacks as well and this is one of the first enemies in the game.

He's versus one of the enemies that can't block It's basically this

It IS good sometimes.
I like it when I manage to pull off some great moves.

Personally I really like the cooler bossfights were It's a block parry battle between you and some other samurai dude. It actually feels like a 1v1 unlike the dodge fiesta that is souls but there's nothing wrong with that.

It kills you. Which means you can be cheeky by using a Bite Down, waiting for the enemy to turn their backs then go in for a backstab

You're invincible during deathblows, these "cool moves" are basically no different from retarded backstab spam in DS except much easier because you don't even position the back.
Also these are all gunmen, they can be deathblow'd after a single hit.

That's literally the tutorial boss that makes sure you know how to dodge.

The best part of this game is that you can actually fight and clash swords with enemies instead of just walking behind them and hitting them in the ass.

The game becomes so much more after your first attack damage upgrade when you're able to blow the everloving fuck out of the filler enemies.

I don't know how people bought a souls game that doesn't have multiplayer

I think the biggest issue I just learned about was how dumb it is that Wolf can't animation cancel, but enemies can.

that's just netlag

I wouldn't have bought this game either way, based CODEX

just don't lock onto enemies bro lol

you dodged so early that you almost had time to dodge again

From an outside perspective, this game just looks more refined while fulfilling the same purpose. Hold O to complete the fight scene properly, or spam x/whatever button, while also spamming dodge button at the right times, to complete the fight scene in a less satisfying and broken way. Both are the same shitty combat systems, depending on buggy hitboxes and the classic safe zones while completing kill animations. Obviously the latter is more difficult, but it's like reading a book backwards and claiming you enjoy it better because it's more difficult to do.

another masterwork of a game

Bosses have ridiculously large HP bars and 1 shot you instead, you have to be a zoomer on adderal and caffeine pills to be able to play this game

are any of the combat arts actually useful?
feels like deflect and regular attack is all you need

dude that's just lag they'll patch the netcode

>ds2
yikes

Are you being retarded and blind on purpose?

Someone post some Nioh webms so we can see what good combat is.

Are you fucking dumb? You can clearly see that Wolf doesn't jump over the blade, the blade clips through his model.

the combat is very fun. it's obviously not fun when you're doing stuff like or
but when you play the combat by its intended rules it's very enthralling.

All video games do is give the illusion of "good" combat. In reality, they aren't even capable of matching a thumb war in real life.

wtf is wrong with the hotboxes in this game?

>intended rules
They aren't breaking the game to do this. They are playing at intended.

Looks pretty cool. Nice kill too. Memes aside though Nioh still has the best combat of any Soulsborne game out there. Hopefully Nioh 2 finds a way to prevent builds from being absolutely broken and just finds a way to make the good combat the main stay of the game. No disrespect to Sekiro but only having 1 skill move and only having access to 3 prosthetic abilities is kind of jarring. They should've went all out like Nioh does I just hope FromSoft doesn't try to make a sequel from this game because honestly I could live without it but I'm still glad the game exists

does Sekiro slide you onto enemies like bamham

Stay seething and blind. Retard.

Attached: 1531888744933.webm (1920x1080, 830K)

i honestly feel more safe deflecting than using jump or dodge about 90% of the time. with deflect, i know that even if i fail the timing that i still block, and while that's disastrous for one's own posture it's better than eating vitality damage on a fucked up roll or jump. deflect has been designed such that it is the defacto defensive option of the game (enemies even have major tracking on their sword swings because the intent is not for you to DODGE said moves but to deflect them). you'll notice that the problem with both the webms i linked in is that there is zero deflecting going on. people are refusing to learn the basic defensive mechanic and then bitching that the game is too hard.

I don't know why it's so hard to see him jumping over the attack.

The red circle shows that his feet never went above the blade you delusional ass wipe.

god i wish. Unfortunelly no

>Chained Ogre

Because he's not jumping over it. You can see the fucking Naginata clip through the lower half of his model. Pay attention to the scabbard, dumb fuck. The one on his hip, not his back.

(You) shithead

except even deflecting is unreliable
there are people who STILL get damaged from moves when deflecting

Attacking/dodging halts your posture regeneration

which ones. the only example i can think of is sword saint isshin's katana draw attacks.

So instead of the enemy having tracking, YOU have tracking?

No. No tracking for anyone!

Do I buy it on Xbone X, Ps4, or PC?
I haven't done the research into the different optimizations

you only get one backstab per fight, and for some reason he always aggros before i can gett close enough despite me backstabbing countless mini bosses before. idk if it's because i spoke to him before. either way, you method does nothing to fix the dogshit camera fucking everything up despite me playing the game perfectly

i would like to have a set of combat arts i can switch between ala prosthetic tools midcombat. i would like ninjustu to be more elaborated on and have more use cases than backstab deathblows.

>just time your shit right
yeah that's definitely the solution . i don't understand why people defend blatantly bad design choices like this. if it was a western game you'd all be shitting on it just like how people rightfully shat on nu-GoW for doing exactly the same thing. they tried to make an action game but design the enemies like all their previous game and that clearly doesn't work.

Remove iframes

It's faster and easier to do this boss the correct way.

Thanks OP, I was on the fence about this game but that webm sold me on it, buying a copy right now. Damn that's some smooth combat.

hitting them when they block is good, it drains their posture and not much of yours. however most enemies will block you once and then start parrying you which will fuck up your posture.

i did pretty well parrying them, then hitting them until they blocked, then going back to parrying

Why is this the game that has shitters so S E E T H E D ? Is it the shitter filter for fun? Is it because the game actively slows the fuck down and becomes a chore if you cheese it, ruining all satisfaction you'd regularly get?
Either way, I love it. This game is great. Combat hasn't been as satisfying as this in years.

I had more trouble with the giant monkey honestly. Owl was tough for me but he's easily abusable if you dodge his leap strike and his health grenade and just fuck him up when he uses either.

his smoke bomb is bullshit though, sometimes he would just come out of smoke and instakill me

you can stealth attack him from above, hope that helps

>OP the fag managed to kill chained ogre

kek

That was hype as fuck.

that wouldnt have made it anymore fun retard

desu, after killing chained ogre, I still don't know how to dodge his fucking leap grab.
I basically only won because he did less of them during that fight.
It's pretty easy to dodge it if he does it while you're further away from him, but if you're close, I literally have no idea what to do, since dodging to the side just ends up with him snapping to you.

Did you beat Genichiro at the top of Ashina Castle? Doing that will give you some direction.

I wish every fight in the game was like this. Against some bosses the dodge just doesn't work and you have to parry. And sometimes the parry is useless and you have to dodge. And then there are the attacks you have to jump over, or mikiri counter. The only way to figure out which is to die a few times, accumulating Dragonrot. Not sure what the fuck they were thinking desu. DaS3 was a boring rollfest but at least the roll always worked - if you got hit, it's because you didn't roll right.

You can Mikiri his lunging kick

But Owl is super easy.

Oh man, you're going to have a hard time later.

Looks pretty good to me.

Was I supposed to fight him right after I finish gathering what Kuro wants (7 power, 15 vtality)? I've learned already that lacking even one upgrade turn fight from you trashing boss to boss trashing you.

honestly, that's kind of why I find the game fun.
you can't win everything by literally just doing one thing.
I was fighting owl lady or whatever the fuck she was called, and I kept dying because although I was doing most things right, I kept getting hit by her sweep attack, until I learned to react properly and jump instead of dodging to avoid it.

Also, does the dragonrot even mean anything? I mean who gives a shit.

That's actually not the tracking snapping but the grab animation playing out based on the direction Sekiro is facing.

Notice that he takes damage BEFORE ogre snaps to him, indicating that the initial grab connected.

Y'all are fucking brainlets falling for easy bait.

Yeah that's fine.
You can get some extra beads by exploring the castle area though, kill the ogre at the bottom to upgrade drinks.

I think the problem is that people are praising the game for incredible hit boxes, and then you have retarded shit like this.
Which is honestly confusing, because some of the attacks on enemies are actually incredibly well tracked, so it really confuses me how they managed to fuck up so badly in this particular case.

Apparently you might miss sidequests, but I heard that the NPCs are just incapacitated and can be cured when you need them.

Isn't she in love with the guy who cut off your arm?

Evidently not. You sound like DSP.

>A video showing the player executing an enemy out of stealth
Yeah I guess the game is easy huh

He's admittedly got a pretty wide range on the grab, but in the webm the guy is perfectly within the range of the hand.

I wouldn't call it the hitbox being wonky but the move being wide in general.

Jump away

Today I started the game and decided to take it slow and learn how to play it properly. I was getting my ass handed to me yesterday by O'rin and I thought I'd need a shit ton of luck to beat her. Today I finally paid attention and learned that you could kick enemies in the head with a double jump so I took my time and paid attention to my posture and I literally demolished her.

Though it still took like 5 minutes to kill her because in this game you can only react to the bosses so I had to wait for her to come at me to get a chance to damage her. That's the my biggest gripe with this game so far, either you stand there and wait for the bosses to attack so you can parry or you're fucked, save a few exceptions.

Great game btw, just need to be patient and learn how to play it properly. It's not even that difficult once you do know how to play.

Hey guys how do you beat the secret boss against the shota
He just does the one attack where he pins me down and sits on my face while he sucks my dick and it just instantly kills me, it’s unavoidable

>jump away
does that actually work?
the tutorial message at the start said jumping only helps against swipe attacks, and it seems like if dodging to the side isn't enough, then jumping wouldn't be enough either.
But yeah, that's kind of the problem with some attacks, it's not clear what you actually have to do to avoid them.

>you can only react to the bosses

The WORST thing you can do, you should be forcing bosses to respond to your strikes and then deflecting that for maximum damage and uptime.

the hitbox is perfect, the animation is just janky in that particular instance

I bet that felt really good.
Pleb filter's Genichiro and he's about one (optional) boss away from ya.

Clearly overleveled and fighting some early game enemies. The combat in XV is fucked, but most things can 2-4 shot you.

just use your brain. you're not expected to parry swipe attacks and grabs, pierce attack can be deal with but require skill. huge enemies will drain your posture with one hit so you better dodge. game is always giving you visual sign when there is going to be unblockable attack. enemies with different weapons require different strategy but after you learn how to deal with one enemy it's the same shit for the rest of the game. there are basically 2 strategies, to stay close and parry everything or stay far and go in where there's opportunity to hit, dodge to make distance, repeat.

this webm is literally no different from how combat in souls works, in souls just add stamina and lower enemy health
are you saying souls combat is bad?

Show me a clip of you doing that against centipede and I'll believe you.

After butterfly I have to do the bull, right?

>the hitbox is perfect
>the animation is just janky
isn't that kind of by definition a bad hitbox?
a hitbox is supposed to be synced with the animation, and in that particular case you get caught even if you're to his side when he actually tries to grab you.

Is the bull just a big perpetually moving hitbox

You can get hits even on him, he just responds quickly so it's generally easier to focus on deflecting.

HOO BOY, IT'S ANOTHER SOULSBORNE SKATE AROUND THE BATTLEFIELD ADVENTURE!

The animation for the grab actually being performed is janky because it snaps to Sekiros position instead of Sekiro snapping to ogres position (a very reasonable change because snapping the player even a few centimetres causes player desync), not the grab animation.

It's a mod that applies a slow down effect whenever you land a critical hit, or almost whenever you do it to make it seem like your powerful hits actually have more impact.

I don't think it worked out that well on that particular fight scene though.

You might want to just keep practicing so the resurrect is fine. If you have phase 1 down and just fuck up a bit, sure just take the death instead

finishers have invincibility
both you and the enemy don't exist when you do a finisher
so good shit

>hitbox
more like i-frame

>but also way easier if you can endlessly dodge and swing
ahahahahaahhahahahhhhahhahahahaa

Is there more effective use for spirit emblems on boss than just spamming butterfly kunai for free unblockable damage?

Any prosthetics I should be using? I barely used them at all, except for in the beginning. Maybe I've been making the game harder all this time.

Dude you're invincible at that point.

shuriken is good for ranged enemies

>doesn't show most of the first phase where he got hit a bunch and used all his gourds

ok

Shuriken to stop him from regaining posture while you retreat to heal. Otherwise bosses like him will fuck you up if you try to use tools or combat arts

lol you can actually stunlock her on the first phase then continue stunlocking her in the second phase.

So it's just average?

I have a 1070 and the game is 60fps 1080p. Just make sure your external setting for Vsync is on since the game will tear otherwise and there's no in-game option.

Any advice on the Mikiri Counter? I find it easy to do with the practice guy, but I can't tell the timing for the spearmen.

This is the only moment the game actually looks like a souls game.

>the game says any move with Red is unblockable, and yet you can parry or block them

Literally not true, you can deflect thrusts and even block them with umbrella.

>already rez'd once
>not even a miniboss

>game says any move with red is unblockable
no it doesn't, it says you need to read whats happening and either deflect, jump or dodge.

I'm starting to recognize patters of the bull. At the start I thought you can't even Dodge his charges.

But you get prosthetics, skills and items?

Dude don't read bait seriously.

Because that's basically what it is

dont touch his fkn arm you retard. this looks weird but getting hit is 100 % deserved here. he dashed into his right hand

just block lmao

There's always mobs in souls game where you can pull that kind of shit, desu.

This game has a boss problem where some of them are hard to fight, while others can be cheesed to the max.

Alright thanks guys. I don't know why I'm having so much trouble

game is easier when played not as intended though
I did only a few tries on the last boss by not bothering with parryshit and just poking when he is open
would have probably taken me at least one hour if I had to learn all the parry timings on his 4 phases as intended

it makes 100 % sense. just having a move with such a long and linear animation not be homing is literall my little pony tier of difficulty. back to pre school kid.

He perfectly dodged most attacks, even the one hit grabs, which is very difficult. Are you an idiot? Have you considered that this boss doesn't even have every kind of move you need to look out for, like sweep attacks which do a fuck ton of damage and you need to jump over? He didn't even use block or parry in this webm either.

>OH NO NO NO
lmfao

Yes, because the game tells you that a well timed dodge with B/circle is the proper way to avoid grabs.

Yes, an easier one with no minions

When you jump over a sweep, can't you press the jump button again for a big posture breaking counter?

It's pretty much the exact same fight but he doesnt have friends

Looks good, the player seems to know what hes doing

Guy who recorded that here, you are a fucking retard.

Yes, that's the key to beating her

Beautiful execution of that boss fight.

Now that's my White wol...i mean sekiro

Gonna try and kill Juzo the Drunk, any advice?

I’m doing pretty good at avoiding death, but I’m getting my shit pushed in everytine I try to actually make progress, so I have to turn tail and book aplenty. Maybe I’m still a scrub, but the player character feels very weak starting off.

Also, where’s the fire prosthetic arm?, I need it for the ogre.

post the AssMan

It actually is easy compared to the first bosses. They really stacked the odds against him to get you ready for the other miniboss on the other side of that wall.
You can do a large chunk of damage while he is in his opening animation of breaking out of restraints.
If you use fire then you get like a 5 second opening to attack him.
If you just jump around him he uses this rush attack that does significant posture damage which allows you to one shot that phase by just running around until he tires himself out.
There isn't anything difficult about him so you can really style on him to get good at dodging and parrying.

Juzo honestly isn't that bad, run around taking out all of his mobs one by one and once it's just you and the drunk fuck go and grab the NPC to gank the fuck out of him.

If you want to make it even easier wait for juzo to default, get a stealth stab on him and then grab your npc pal.

Clear the enemies and then talk to the guy that helps you

If you weren't invincible for deathblows it would completely ruin the combat. Deathblows are the way you kill an enemy AFTER you break their posture, so there's nothing stopping you from getting gang-banged before then, when NOT stuck in an animation.

To get them off on enemies who aren't aware of you; you need to be above, behind, or below them. And it one shots. Is it easier to pull off? Yes. But that's the point, because each area is filled to the brim with a lot of enemies. If you don't take advantage of stealth like in this webm then you'll easily get fucked.

>Also these are all gunmen, they can be deathblow'd after a single hit.
What a dumb argument, you can one shot enemies in dark souls if you're over-leveled as well (which you can be at this point of the game in sekiro). In dark souls you don't even need to worry about doing the "cool moves" either. You could just roll out after killing an enemy.

Nah, he definitely hopped over the spear.

You're supposed to parry his combo around two times to deathblow him. It's a different strategy.

That looks boring as fuck.

Attached: 3sg3241f34.jpg (231x218, 7K)

I know you can't switch weapons in Sekiro ala Bloodborne/Souls, but do you have any options to acquire heavy-hitting attacks/playstyles? In all of the gameplay I've seen, it seems like you're a wielding a toothpick that needs to slice at the opponent's HP for minutes before finally being able to kill them. Otherwise it looks fun, but that point alone makes me wonder if the combat could become tedious.

The step dodge in this game is an actual hop, I can believe that its a jump over the blade because corrupted monk basically skids the floor with his low sweep strikes. However its hard to tell/believe for you because the camera is looking down instead of being leveled

ok so it seems like i'm finally stuck, where the fuck do i head to after i'm done with that foggy forest?

Kill all the enemies and run away. Juzou will de-aggro and instead of sitting down again he'll stand in the middle of the arena for an easy stealth stab. Then run to the NPC and 2v1.

Yikes

Boy I sure love fights like Guardian Ape where you have to run around the arena and wait for him to finish his combos, run in and get a few attacks in, and rinse and repeat. All the while each of your sword attacks do like 5 damage and his health bar is massive.

It's not unfair but it's just boring and fucking tedious.

Deflect him, casual.

There's an axe that gets some heavy hitting moves, it's good for breaking shields and it fucks up the posture of some enemies pretty hard

The Dark Souls backstab mechanic is fucking awful in how easily it can be exploited.

The genichiro fight is fucking amazing

This is how you can tell people are baiting and shitposting without playing the game, because they don't know how abilities and prosthetics work.

The Surge has the ability for you to hop over low attacks.

Any chance someone has image of trust/sweep signs that show up? Would really help if i could memorize them

>got lucky with an AI loop
>not even a miniboss
>STILL almost fucking died
Pathetic

It's an enemy that specifically punishes soulshitters.

how does that 40 sec dodge go through what the actual fuck. in my game he fucking homes on you. do you need to do late dodge like that?

I see. Good to know, thanks user.

lmao, holy fuck, literally blind

The changes to your attacks are based off a few things

Hold down r1 for a thrust attack instead of a slice.
Step dodge and press r1 for a spinning horizontal.
Various moves hitting R1 directly after using a prosthetic.
Combat arts that involve hitting l1 to go into a defensive stance and then hitting r1 (a large sweep attack, a charged downward slice that staggers, etc)
Jump attacks

They are fun and effective to use but very few people, if you watch them, aren't utilizing them because on a first playthrough you are focusing more on the enemy than yourself

Demon and Guardian Ape feel the most like Souls bosses out of the whole game, and really could have been slapped into DaS3 and fit fine. Constantly dodging on their ass, running away from the close range AOE thing that might insta kill you, roll around the legs on the Demon.

>literally ONE moveset
Along with literal dude in armor, an horrendous boss.

git good

Spam dodge, I'm not joking. Test it out yourself, when you see a mikiri counterable attack coming for everyone just spam the dodge button like you're playing Simpsons arcade and you'll 99% of the time get the counter. This also makes you glue to the enemy rather than accidentally dodge out of the attacks way. This isn't a fighting game where they punish and leave your hitbox open for whiffing counters, as long as that attack lands at any point of you mashing the dodge button you got it.

>get hit by grab since there's no invulnerability frames
>because you were next to the ogre, it changed direction because otherwise the animation wouldn't work

>this is bad gameplay according to contrarians

>ensuring that soulshitters have mastered consecutive deflecting before progressing
>DOOD ONE MOVESET

It's there for one reason and one reason only

Sword swings in The Witcher 2 don't slide you towards enemies. I think for most encounters, Witcher 2 works way better, maybe most importantly because enemies don't feel as much like sword sponges in TW2.

Here's the big secret:
time your shit and stop dodging early

I literally killed the faggot in my first try, I'm not whining about how "bullshit" the moveset is, I'm complaining about how fucking lazily the enemy is designed. Retard.

Do you see how his hands scooped you up.

So basically playing the game ILLOGICALLY is how you have fun with it? Woah

I never claimed you said he was bullshit, I claimed he's there to ensure people have mastered consecutive deflecting, hence having only one moveset.
Why are you being so hostile? Are you alright?

Why od you keep going about muh souls, faggot? I never even talked about that trash in my post. Stop being so obsessed.

No, he didn't you're just delusional. You see the weapon clip through him.

wow its literally just a souls game with one primary weapon and no character customization or covenants or multiplayer

literally why was this allowed at any level from development to publication to fan response, this is some EA tier shit

alright thanks, i'll keep trying

nope

If you can't win a boss fight and you revive you're just dying a second time

I have decided to drop the game on Sword Saint. I have not been having any fun at all since Gyoubu and don't know why I stuck with it so long.

Requesting the Sekiro "what I expected - what I got" image.

The combat is really not clicking for me. It feels like the entire combat system is based around the single worst part of the Souls series as time went on, which is every enemy having attacks with bizarre wind-ups solely to throw off your defensive timing.

play this when I'm stoned and have been breezing through. The problem is you're not paying attention to combat mechanics otherwise you'd realize that regardless of the enemy, almost everything is telegraphed and 90% of the attacks in this game can be dodged. I'm not going to spoonfeed you, but start playing without using the lock on and learn how to play that way. It's so much easier

I'm 5 bosses in and is there seriously no different ways of attacking in this game? It's just Left Click, Left Click, Left Click over and over again. The charging attack does the exact same damage as normal strike, but takes 50% longer so not sure why it's in there.

There's no downside to reviving, it is there to do two things:
1)If you are in over your head, worried about dragonrot spread and can back down (i.e no fog wall), you can run away and rest at the idol and restore your ressurection
2) If you are confidant that you can beat the enemy and/or super close to getting the deathblow, you get another shot

It is there to help you

I can and I will, fuck this game. Genichiro is a bitch and I can slap him without taking damage unless he pulls a bullshit double combo that breaks my posture but fuck Isshin. If I don't die on his first phase I die in two seconds in his second.

He punishes you hard for trying to interfere his combos, just get the deflects and he's easy to stagger. Also hang back for every opportunity to grapple him when he starts running back and forth trying to skewer you, it's a shit ton of free posture damage.

I don't know if you're being serious, but that's the cause to almost every issue people are experiencing.

This game just makes me realize I always seem to reach a point in FromSoft games where I just had fucking enough.

The first few hours of playtime and the starting areas are always the best, I enjoy them a lot but the more I progress throughout the game, the more I noticed I keep staring at the clock whenever I keep died and noticing how much time I'm wasting on it, it's nerve wrecking. Every time I progress further into the game and get closer to the late bosses, I barely ever feel great about it, it just makes me feel miserable and I wish the game to just be over yet, to finish the damn cluster fuck already, but I don't know why I feel like that though.

It feels more natural than the alternative of having Dodge on X and Jump on R1 to emulate Nioh.
Being able to run around with camera control without resorting to clawing is also nice.

so is attacking while being able to move the camera

I think what I hate the most about this game, is when you go to execute something, all the other enemies around you visibly back up and wait for you to finish. I fucking hate this in video games.

Was I suppose to fight him with divine confetti? I finally beat him but he barely took any damage

Hey fuck you literal dude in plate armor was fucking cool

I was fighting lady butterfly and it just clicked
the game punishes you for backing away because the enemies don't really have recovery time or are always in parry, and rewards you for being aggressive because the only time they can't hit you is if they're already in an attack animation

Get confetti and keep wailing on him, your attacks with confetti applied will even desummon his orbs. Just be careful he doesn't whack you with his stick. I beat him on my second or third try and it was the only attempt where I tried confetti.

>so is attacking while being able to move the camera

Oh shit, I didn't realize I could just attack his orbs away. I kept running away and wondering why I could barely touch him

technically, yes. the game clearly wants you to use very specific strategies against certain enemies and the game is a lot easier once you figure ir out. it's not like a traditional action game where you can do whatever you want. so it's technically a puzzle because you need to figure out how to deal with a certain enemy and exploit that tactic. everyone is just saying he's wrong because it's dsp

much more useful than people think. In the game you'll get the ability to revive more than once however once you die and revive once there will be a black line preventing you from reviving again until you kill the enemies.

Does it allow you to stay dead for as long as you want, or does the screen still turn red and kill you after a while?

it's cool how parrying isn't super overpowered like it is in Souls and how you are meant to do it all the time now. Parrying always feels good. In Soulsborne it just feels like cheesing when you are doing it over and over to a boss, even if it's hard to pull off

can someone please explain to me why no matter what I do (reduce resolution/graphics quality, overclock GPU/cpu) I always get around 18 frames per second? I only have a GTX560 and an I5 2500k, but I seem to get 18 fps on high 1080P and low 600P.

According to Yea Forums, western movie games.

I should note that it goes to 22fps in menus and this is according to some windows 7 fraps. 18 fps doesn't seem to feel TOO bad compared to 30.

how low have we fallen

I will eventually, I just don't know why this toaster doesn't do better or worse when I change the graphics settings. Maybe i get more frame drops at high quality 1080P but I never go over 18 fps.

I don't know, but the minimum spec suggested is a 760, which is literally twice as fast as a 560.

Should I lure Jinzaemon to the surgeon or is his quest reward more worthwhile?

After I beat Guardian Ape and bring the lotus to Kuro, how do I get to the Senpou temple for the mortal blade?

I can only assume it's because it has 1024MB of ram and the min is 2gb of ram. Still I just don't understand why my performance doesn't get better OR worse when I lower the quality. especially after trying to overclock.

Looks good. NG2 has a bullshit boss with literally the same moves. This boss has the same moves plus a couple more moves.

>Still defending this pathetic shit
Okay, so how did the guy manage to lock the door from the inside and then somehow teleport outside?

The actual circuits of the card are much more optimized with much more capability to carry out more "work" with less instructions, and just to carry out instructions faster. It is not just because of the card's RAM. Literally the physical build and circuitry is innately inferior.

Depends on how fast will you learn patterns and reflexes needed by bosses, because there's nothing even remotely, slightly challenging except boss fights in this game, and world is far too small to spend much time exploring.

Can someone tell me what is the point of the "vault" skill? The game says it's so you "can backstab deathblow the enemy" but it's only usable on posture-broken enemies which means you can just deathblow them from the front. Why would you ever use this?

If a mob has an unnecessary amount of HP then yeah it becomes a miniboss.

Swim down the river, get past the patrols and you'll find an elevator that leads to Senpou Temple, Mt. Kongo.

Trough the abandoned dungeon

Where do you go after killing the four monkeys in the illusion area at Mt Kongo?

This. Your objective is to protect the shota AT ALL COSTS. In order to achieve 100% immersion you must play the dick-ass thief. Only unga bunga samurai believe in that bushido nonsense. Jump around. Stealth kill generals. Throw pocket sand at people mid-fight. Blind them with explosives. Run and de-aggro. Are you a shady enough dude to rescue the Dragon Heir?

Thank you anons!

1,3,4,5

You can also decide to play 3 first because it's a prequel and by many considered best.

2 and DmC(donte) suck

You didn't correct shit. You actually defend shitty thoughtless design

Have you met the girl if should teleport you to her after the fight

What do you consider good combat?

>tfw cannot beat shinobi hunter

>tfw realized who the demon of hatred really is

gotcha covered user.

Yeah I've done that. I just now ran back to Shota Lord and he gave me the key to the Gun Fort. Guessing I'm off there next. I wish this game any any sense of direction, I have no idea at any point if I'm going in the right direction...maybe I'm just retarded.

Kill his friends. Mikiri Counter. Firecracker. GG EZ.

Just mikiri

Who it is?

Is it possible to get Bell Demon back if you remove it?

yeah just ring the bell again

Yes ring the bell again

He doesn't jump off the head during the sweep so this could be like 20 seconds shorter

Not that user but you really need to play 2 in order to appreciate the massive leap in quality in 3. And playing DmC definitive ironically is not that bad, just a bit boring

rice loli is cute
i also got both snake hearts am i supposed to just eat them?

shut the fuck up cretin

dont listen to that other user, DmC isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. just make sure you play the definitive edition and turn on hardcore mode and turbo. as for the original series, get the HD Collection and play 1 and 3 and then get 4 Special Edition. after all that then you can play 4. story order is 3, 1, 4, 5 if you're curious. we all pretend 2 doesn't exist because it's fucking awful, but you can pla it for a good laugh

>EL OGRO ENCADENADO

>isn't that kind of by definition a bad hitbox?
no. the hitbox is around his giant hands which are attempting to grab you. running into his hands connects with the hitbox. the problem occurs when the animation needs to play out for the grab- spending hours and hours designing a different animation for each angle of grab is a waste of time from a studio's perspective. it's just how vidya works.

regardless the guy 100% got punished for a shit dodge when he could have just jumped straight up in the air

>when he could have just jumped straight up in the air
In defense of the average player, the game outright tells you that dodges are how you're supposed to avoid grabs, not jumps.

Will I miss anything story wise if I don't play 2?

What's not so bad about DmC?
The mc alone makes you dryheave.

sure, and a well-timed dodge will get you out of the way. most of the people are dodging way too early or too late which is why they get shitter filtered. almost always easier to jump instead of dodge

i only use dodge to close distance or when im against multiple enemies and I need to back out quickly. 1v1 there is no need to dodge.

dodge is bait in 90% of fights, only good for closing distance to get a slash in

hint: a guy with one arm who can only see visions of fire

So your idea of great combat is big flashy combos. Not shitting on Ninja Gaiden, that game was fucking amazing and the combat was satisfying as fuck but there is a very clear difference in design philosophy in its combat. Timing and precision aren't all that important in that game compared to raw positioning. It isn't like those moves took very much skill to pull off, it just looked cool. As someone who likes fightan games, to call the combat because it isn't as flashy or you use one button to do your damage instead of two, or you don't get to mash buttons in a certain order to do massive AoE damage is kind of funny. I like ninja gaiden's combat, but it's very clearly a different combat style.

not really. i'd suggest you still play it just to see why everyone hates it though, but save that for after you've played everythign else or whenever you're bored. it has a few unitentionally funny mements that are worth seeing anfd the ost is pretty good. also, if you play it you'll be able to participate in our memeing

honestly, it's worth playing just for limo and the ost alone. also FUCK YOU!

Fuck you

Oh I dont disagree, I'm just saying that the game pretty much sets players up to fail if they abide by it's advice. Half of the grabs in the game can't even be i-framed anyways, since their hitbox lingers for so long. About the only practical use for dodging is to sidestep certain attacks if their either nonpunishable on deflect, or you just want to build Vit damage.

worth playing for limbo*

hey what's a good end game grinding location besides Sanctuary?

I didn't try Sanctuary myself, I just went back to the Outskirts idol where the merchant and the big cock used to be and farmed the 5 Ministry dudes.
