Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (new From Software game)

[Steezus]

I honestly don't think there's much balance needed in Souls multiplayer besides for the invaded being able to summon help.

You're getting invaded by some asshole, it's not supposed to be fair and it plays perfectly with the thematic core of those games. Demon's and DkS1 kept it simple and it was the best iteration of the system.

Honestly i am not too hot on setting as i never really liked japanese anime ninjas.
I think i will try it though because i came to know it will actually have some stats and stuff despite initial claims which said it won't.

Combat is what will make or brake this game.

 

[Steezus]

I think the only "stats" are vitality and attack power. I definitely wouldn't expect any significant type of character building.

PvP is nothing but poison to that sweet sweet Skyrim LARPER audience that (partially) decided to pickup Dark Souls. When the game was still a niche thing the PvP element helped build its "hardcore street cred", but when the game became a mainstream thing the PvP community was just destined to the chopping block.

I remember waaay back when DS got ported to the PC and I was learning the ropes and people would invade me and I would just move to a place where picking up my souls would be easier. You know, because I didn't really count on "winning" any PvP. But instead of whining about "muh ballinseeee" I decided to stick around, learn things and by the time DS2 came around I had lived long enough to embarce villany. Fun times.

However, EVERY SINGLE CHANGE to online play in DS3 was about giving invaders the middle finger. Every. Single. One. The new "meta" was "summon 2 dudes to carry your worthless ass and remember to point down at invaders after ganking them". Shit became gay and unfun as all hell.

Sekiro seems to just go "ok, we're making a game for casuls, but we're not even gonna pretend otherwise this time", which is fine by me. FROM is AAA now and expecting their games not to cater to the lowest common denominator is delusion and nothing more.

Yikes guys, Sekiro reviews are out and they're NOT GOOD
**[even from people who are huge sellouts souls fags whose entire careers are built around souls vidyas]**

Looks like this one's a big ol FLOP

Sorry Miyahachi fans, but it may be time to commit bukake

FROM is AAA now and expecting their games not to cater to the lowest common denominator is delusion and nothing more.

Or you know, not forcing PvP in a quasi DMC game is the logical approach. Not everything is a conspiracy out to get your precious AAA virginity.

Not sure if aimed at me, if so then you're weeping movingly but on the wrong grave, as we say.

I love PvP in Souls, even tho I'm not very good at it. And I agree with you on From caving in to normies and women. But ranting about "ballinseee" is missing the point. The PvP vs PvE balance IS a legit, long acknowledged problem, just ask uncle Google and have fun with the results for the rest of the week.

It's a From game.

Prepare to Torrent a Patch Twice a Day.

 

[polo]

I bought it, just lettin u pirates know its out there.

What did you expect after Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3? I don't care too much about a few engine issues so long as the game is good though.

WIth Souls games they know the surer bet is to give good reviews. 9/10, something like that.

Demon's Souls had extremely bad reviews. But when Dark Souls came out and became popular it changed how journalists would treat From's games from then on.
Journalists are consensus whores. They don't dare give a bad review to a game they hate if it has garnered too much public support.

I have preordered it, but if is available to play now it's gonna be hard to wait until tomorrow.

I did not plan in buying Sekiro but then I'm a sucker for exploration. Lobos was stressing the fact that the world design is like in DaS1 and I need to see this.

Also, you know what is not on Epic Store? Yeah. Sekiro.

You have like 1k market transaction in the last week alone.
Is trading with Steam social crap your livelihood or what?

 

[sullynathan]

Yes, I am a professional steam card trader/farmer and a good one at that.
I own one steam card farm on vultr.com and it already recouped it's costs 10x times in just last week.
I am planning to earn at least 50 more dollars on this activity.
If you need your steam cards farmed I can do 24/7 farming process for just 1 dollar per month.

 

[cvv]

what fucking currency is that?

Putin Peso.

After the last comments this has become the Dark souls of threads.

On the other hand. All legit customers waiting for playing the game, and a bunch of soytubers and pirates can enjoy the game one day before. Fuck this shit, I'm 33% downloading torrent now, and in 2 hours I'm playing it. I hope I can export the save game to my steam folder when the game releases.

HAHA...

ha...

hmm...

I wonder if I can still into pirate. How is it done today? Still mounting iso through Daemon?

Also can I then copy my .CODEX saves into my legitimate game folder when it unlocks?

 

[Matador]

Aparently it hasn't got even a crack. It's plug and play, when I finished downloading in 1h-2h I inform you.

EDIT:ISO, you can open with daemon

 

[PrettyDeadman]

I mean it's exactly the same size as preupload but I still hope it works. Not sure I am going to play it.
I wanted to stream the game with some beer and kfc tomorrow anyway, not sure its worth bothering with pirating just to play it coiple of hours before I can decrypt the steam version anyway.
But maybe Ill do it anyway just to keep my bots farming my account for steam cards.

 

[Jinn]

So, um, brothers. I just launched Sekiro and am looking at the tittle screen AS WE SPEAK!

If you have pre-ordered Sekiro through Steam, as opposed to key resellers, etc, you can download the TunnelBear VPN, install, turn off steam, set your region to Japan on TunnelBear, turn steam back on, decrypt (which took 5 minutes btw), and get IN THE GAME BROTHERS!

Holy fucking shit.
