Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (new From Software game)

[toro]

My somewhat aggressive Genichiro fight. Ng+, no kuro. I love this fight. Rate and subscribe.



(Sorry for the background banter).

:kurwa: :pierdole:

Edit: I love that fight.

Finally beat Guardian Ape, around 15 tries. What a shitty boss that was, I wasn't that annoyed since Umi Bozu in Nioh. Worst part of the game so far for me.

Oh boy, do I miss this guy already. I'm at the Demon of Hatred right now.

Actually not a difficult fight. Stick to his right leg, avoid mindlessly spamming R1 because he can and will sometimes do the jump into stomp attack that you can deflect. When he does the lunge forward with his right arm on the ground, simply jump over the arm to completely avoid it.

Really upped my Sekiro game this weekend. Beat Owl and the Owl Father secret(ish) boss, along with headless ape, and all the other pre-endgame bosses. Honestly, I've liked all the bosses so far. They've been varied enough to keep you interested, and also incredibly difficult, but not in a cheap way. The second Owl fight was epic.

Finally finished my first playthrough. All I can say now is that I REALLY FUCKING LOVE IT! I think From really outdid themselves this time, and this game is a definitive proof that the devs are at best when they make New Things™ instead of A Sequel™.

I want to elaborate further on the things I like and dislike about this game, but right now I really need to calm myself down. It's rare for me to want to replay a lengthy game such as this right after finishing it once, not even Dark Souls 1 managed to do that. But right now, I felt like I just want MORE of Sekiro, it's insane. I started NG+ right after beating Isshin, then proceed to wipe the floor with Genichiro

P.S. Sword Saint Isshin is, hands down, THE best final boss fight of all From's games in recent times. Absolutely much better than Gehrman, which is already better than Gwyn.

NG+ is meh, it's much more fun to start a fresh run and see how you do starting out without your toys. The GIT GUD is real in this game, in a way it reminded me more of my first Dark Souls run that its sequels did.

Yeah, but I'd like to experience earlier parts of the game with the prosthetics, skills, and combat arts.

Having said that, I do plan to start a parallel fresh run to go for another ending.

Instead of NG+ which is bland, try Demon Bell + No Kuro's Charm.

Trust me, you will love it

I played about an hour of this. it's definitely smoother and more responsive than all the other soulsborne games and has jumping. Combat is both good and odd. It seems that I really needed to be locked on with more than one enemy around because deflecting with multiple enemies isn't optimal.

I really hope eventually, spamming l1 isn't going to be the way to go, I was doing it against the first boss and first few enemies and it seemed to work.
Lastly, I also played Nioh alongside it and it plays a lot better than Sekiro. Animations are quicker and more responsive and so was movement.

Just spamming L1 definitely won't cut it. It's obviously valid against consecutive attacks, but there are perilous attacks that can't be deflected such as swing attacks and grabs (which is sadly still broken for a lot of people even though I personally don't experience much of teleporting grab attacks). Some enemies also needs to be soften up before deflecting their attacks becomes a valid strategy. Tools and combat arts are also actually fairly useful, if not outright broken for some fights, so just experiments with everything the game has to offer.

mfw the Sword Saint just casually whips out a Glock

I just can't seem to make the switch to the way this game needs to be played. I'm unconsciously stuck in soulsborne mode where I roll roll and roll away from danger, that shit won't cut it here and it demands a parry and deflect style. When I deliberately force myself to play like that I can go OK for a while but then I get frustrated and slip back to the old ways and get stomped on. Guess I just gotta keep plugging away at it.

Bruh, he ain't called Isshin, the Glock Saint for nuthin'

My advice, keep training with Hanbei the Undying. Personally, every time I got frustrated by a boss or certain encounters, I just relieve my frustration on Hanbei.

Actually, never mind. It took a grand total of 7 or 8 attempts to bring him down. He didn't feel nearly as difficult as either the Demon of Hatred or Owl (Father), the two of whom collectively took hours and hours to defeat. His wind-up and Perilous attacks are not too hard to dodge or counter, they leave him exposed to a couple of attacks and he does them often. His Posture regen isn't all that high either and during the third phase, you get a free weapon that's fairly easy to utilize (Lightning Reversal) and does a lot of Vitality/Posture damage.

For those who continued on NG+, Kuro's Charm or no?

No Kuro's charm

 

[Ivan]

Yes Kuro's charm, otherwise it just adds tedium

 

[sullynathan]

Why does this shit crash at every death or loading screen?

 

[Nathir]

Why does this shit crash at every death or loading screen?

Because your computer is shit?

 

[cruel]

Zero crashes with this game for me, ever

Getting back to this, been busy...

Decided to ignore Genircero(sp) for the time being and head off to the temple as the old lady on the bridge suggested.

Started off at abandoned dungeon entrance, then waterway idol, etc.

I stopped for today when I reached the temple idol...may continue on later today or tomorrow.

Was kinda disappointed the fish in the waterway (I think 4(?)), didn't give up any carp scales. I think I have 5 at the moment.

I wanna buy those 2 things I think I want from the pot guy (A mask and a text I think it was)

There are two types of fishes, the treasure carps that give scales, and man-eating fish who almost always accompanies one treasure carp as a group. The treasure carps will always run away when they notice you, while the man-eating fishes will maneuver around to attack you.

is this game scary like dark souls and bloodborne

Unfortunately, no.

However, there are moments where it's legit scary and invoke truly horror experience. There are only like 3 of them, though.

I swam around there, killed the 4 bad fish, but no treasure carp there, far as I could tell.
