Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (new From Software game)

[Jasede]

Bought this yesterday. Good Lord, it's much harder than I thought it would be (I, too, am one of the guys that NEVER parried in Dark Souls 1/2/3/DeS/BB.)
It's very pretty and whoever coded it did a great job, runs flawlessly on the PC and the controls are good and snappy (XBOX 360 controller.)

Unlike most ITT I like the stealth mechanic; being able to take out so many 'trash' enemies risk-free feels gratifying and it's fun how quickly they (and you) die.

Lady Butterfly can suck my dick!!

Just reached certain part of Sunken Valley. I already started feeling like this wasn't a true FromSoft game at all but fortunately I was mistaken

Someone has probably posted this already but too many pages to check ITT.

Yep, this game has Valley of Defilement too. It has also Shaded Woods, Boletaria Palace and Fishing Village (only easier and worse). Fainter hints of other areas abound.

Still the level design in this game is a complete knock out. My screen is constantly smeared with cum.

 

[PrettyDeadman]

I still try to beat spear guy.
This game pisses me off.

 

[Suicidal]

All the Friede haters are gonna love the final boss in this game

 

[Ent]

Fromsoft made guns super powerful in this game and didn't give you any.

 

[Jinn]

Still the level design in this game is a complete knock out.

I'm repeatedly feeling some of the best level design elements from both DaS and DaS II, except with the added delight of the verticality and freedom of movement. It makes me very happy.

Berserk reference

shitty itemization "lore"

So weird. Some of my friends have problems with one-trick mini bosses (some general with spear, whatever), that i slice through on 1 or 2 tries. But then they go ahead and kill the purple ninja after maybe 2-3 tries, while it took me over 60.

 

[Strange Fellow]

That's Souls for ya. Still hate that duplicating witch in Dark Souls 3 that everyone says is a complete pushover.

 

[Steezus]

I'm fighting against

Spoiler

Genichiro

(third major boss) and this is straight up one of the most fun boss fights, period. Once you get in the zone and start mixing up all your moves, tools and parries, it's easily one of the most satisfying boss fights From Soft has ever done.

 

[SumDrunkGuy]

Yo heads up, don't waste your skill points on Emma's Medicine. I got both of the skills and they don't do jack shit. 9 fucking skillpoints, wasted.

Wow, that Hidden Forest area was pretty cool.
Also a cool moment when you fight the guardian ape and you kill it, then the message Shinobi execution comes up, you relax and then it rises again holding its head.
And the 2 apes fight was pretty easy.
The snake eyes before that was tougher untill I decided to think like a Shinobi and figured out that you can aggro the miniboss, lure it close to the poison pool idol, climb up that statue and wait as the miniboss poisons itself, your input being only to deliver the 2 deathblows.

I had the same problem that you.

Purple ninja fight is almost a souls battle. Dodge is effective, unlike in the rest of the battles in this game. When we are trying to learn the new style of precise blocking, they throw you that Hayabusa wannabe to make you spam roll to victory.

 

[Nathir]

Finally beat the guardian ape. After being overjoyed I go to the depths only to discover more apes...

The stealth stuff is p rudimentary, but overall I do enjoy using it whenever possible. However my absolute favorite use of this mechanic is dropping on some poor soul to insta-kill them and then proceed to quickly defeat anyone else nearby.

 

[Matador]

Love the miriki counter, remind me of Fucking obliteration techniques from Ninja Gaiden 2.

I need another decent NG game. Intense exhilarating combat.

Sekiro is growing a lot on me. For me the Replay value is going to be make a run playing decently. Because right now I'm overcoming obstacles due to seer will. I'm pretty bad, without elegance or style.

I'm on a fog forest now, filled with fog people, there's a closed temple an according a NPC I must enter it through a breach in the second floor, but I can't find a way to get there yet. I killed a rehashed version of the giant drunken boi that spits posion and I improved my health again. Literally I don't have idea where to go next.

Explore the entire area. Somewhere close to the temple look up. (the branch right next to the temple is just for surveillance).

 

[Cyberarmy]

Just killed the Guardian Ape

Spoiler

and fucker attacked me after I decapitated it, dual wielding that sword AND his head.

 

[Dyskolos]

Found out a cool strat - you can continiously jump on him and slash him in the air

It took me several hours to remember the jump button existed for anything but exploration. Now I constantly play morrowind frog hop style.

 

[Sentinel]

Btw, if you hold L1 (block) your posture will decrease faster. Basically the opposite of Dark Souls shields & stamina.

Yo heads up, don't waste your skill points on Emma's Medicine. I got both of the skills and they don't do jack shit. 9 fucking skillpoints, wasted.

I got a noticeable increase.

And this game has some incredible hitboxes (except for grab attacks)

You can buy infinite Confetti later on. This shouldn't be news in a Miyazaki game.

How much later on? I beat Genichiro and done the annoying monkey thing. Is it even later?

It's after 2nd corrupted monk IIRC. Don't remember the price.
