Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (new From Software game)

[Jenkem]

solved it for you

I get 40mb/s download on Steam, tell me how pre-loading is faster.

Wow, you figured out we have different download rates and that for me it's faster to pre-load and dycrypt.

The fuck is the point of this conversation?

You tell me. I said "The only way decrypting is faster is if your download speed is shit." You claimed this was incorrect. Now you are claiming that it's obvious that download speed affects whether decrypting is worth it.

Make up your mind.

Guess I didn't know my download speed was considered the definition of shit because I've never had anything faster and it's always worked fine for me. I also specified what it was and the time frames I was working with in terms of DL vs decryption.

Can we stop this now?

Steam unlocks games always at the same time. Keep it in mind for future purchases.

DS3 was a midnight release for Europe.

Imma "citation needed" your asses until somebody shows me receipts.

 

[PrettyDeadman]

Even the torrent proves it:

I didn't ask for your life story.

Imma just copy paste the scores from the retardera thread:

IGN - 9.5/10

GameSpot - 9/10

Game Informer - 9/10

Press-Start AU - 9/10

PlayStation Lifestyle - 9.5/10

Polygon - Extremely Positive

Idiot reviewers score it too high, expect another Dark Souls 2 debacle.

 

[Matador]

Don't be pessimist. They had the scores written before. They say nothing about the game quality except that is not a buggy mess, and the probability of being a great game increases.

 

[Strange Fellow]

I would've bet all my savings on Sekiro getting 9+ scores from profeshunal vidya journalists without batting an eye, and I've seen a total of about five minutes of gameplay. This game is probably the most surefire critical slam dunk there ever was.

 

[Matador]

The pattern of "journalists" is greatly overrate popamole AAA shit and underrate a bit some prestigious great games, without going all-in.

That's why their scores always go in the 6-10 range. For them anything below is unplayable, 6 is a very bad game and 10 is EA paying them covertly for marketing the premium rate. They are corrupt, incompetent and cowards. By giving games they don't understand or like a 7,5, cover their asses from being exposed as frauds if the game is a legit incline.

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

Why are we even talking about journalist "reviews"? They're a joke even in the normie consciousness now.

And various user's reviews are completely useless too. Putting aside review bombing for various retarded reasons they're usually full of shills and shill haters.

There are only two non-retarded ways to check out a game you're not sure about - follow a channel/reviewer you trust or just watch a let's play. With Sekiro that's not necessary, it's a From game. Sure DS3 was a largely a low-effort shovelware starved of ideas and passion but even a shovelware by From is miles above the rest of the industry so ultimately I don't regret buying it.

 

[Steezus]

I had hoped that "Idiot reviewers score it too high" would've clued anybody in on the joke. Alas, autism codex strikes back.

 

[cvv]

Yes, I'm completely serious Steezus.

I basically never joke.

I have fond memories of tormenting people in Aldia's keep for no reward other than lulz. It makes sense that Sekiro would remove the online element since DS3 made it absolutely clear that FROM hates its PvP community and looks down upon coopers. So fuck it, let them remove a feature they clearly have no passion about.

I have more respect for the company doing that than sticking to online gameplay JUST for the sake of easier shekels.

Anyway, is Sekiro shit?

They may have passion for PvP, problem is the way they've chosen to implement it since DeS.

Invasions is an amazing design idea on paper but ultimately it brings more problems than fun. It's just way too difficult to balance the game for PvE and PvP simultaneously, maybe even impossible. There's a reason most games have their multiplayer fenced off as a separate game mode. I think someone from From even stated they decided for pure SP because balancing for both modes simultaneously is just way too much headache.

The struggle with poise throughout the franchise is the perfect example - the DS1 poise wouldn't be a problem if the game didn't have MP. They tinkered and played with it and in DS3 they just said fuck it, we can't solve it, let's just mothball it and say it's working as intended.

Another case in point is Nioh. I haven't played it but the word on the street is the PvP is a complete shitshow because the balancing isn't separate.

On the other hand Warframe understands this and not only there's a separate PvP mode but the gear and abilities are rebalanced.

Dafuq have you been reading? Nioh doesn't have any real PvP (unless they added it after I stopped playing). What passes for "PvP" in Nioh is actually an AI controlled version of your character in another person's world. Don't think "balancing" matters much when you can simply outplay the AI (which isn't a very good dueler TBH).

 

[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.
