Not really a fan of FromSoftware, but the game looks really tight.


Doesn’t look near as bullshite souls like as their previous stuff. Can’t stand the souls games.

The fact that it started out as a Tenchu game to be converted into Dark Would Japan pisses me off

I hated Souls but I loved Bloodborne.

I’m planning on getting Sekiro, but I’ll wait to see some reviews and gameplay before buying.

I’ll probably wait a month or two to get it.

FromSoftware games I have to prepare myself for so I don’t rage to hard.

Hopefully it's faster than Souls (a la Bloodborne).

I have it pre-ordered. Love these games.

Absolutely, Day 1 purchase. Insider said it’s more unforgiving than Souls. Can’t wait. Fully expect a Bloodborne-esque twist halfway through

Wat. Tenchu was plenty dark. You can still play somewhat stealthily. Guy beat the demo with all stealth kills. It’s going to pull a lot from Tenchu and Kuon

Not quite as fast as BB, from what I’ve seen. While Bloodborne took Souls combat and tweaked it to make evasion the primary mechanic, Sekiro is instead tweaking it to make parrying the primary mechanic. Reports from early players are that it’s extremely satisfying once you get a feel for it. Still looks faster than Souls

Heard the exact opposite from like 8 other sources. Either way I have it preordered. Love that it has a small mythological twist to it.

This is where I read it:

quote:

For those of you who don't know Sabaku, he is considered the "Italian VaatiVidya". He is a very knowledgeble content creator with a deep love for From Software works. Here are some thoughts after he played the Sekiro demo.

there are no automatic interactions, you need to press a button to grab a ledge (good, gives full control to the player)

you can't fall off a edge if you don't press the jump button.

Enemies can't be pushed over the edge. Despite this and the resurrect mechanic...

the game is HARD. The most punishing From Software game he's ever played. But it encourages you to get better and master the combat system.

parry windows are much better than DkS, where you had to anticipate the hit and watch the arm.

swordfight and finishers are incredibly satisfying, and convey Sekiro's "vengeance rage"

he managed to get to the corrupted monk without engaging in combat (only stealth kills).

Ive only heard that its very challeging to learn the systems, and miyazaki said itll be twice as hard as bloodborne.

Im sure itll be just like the other souls games with a high learning curve, lots of skill checks, and gets easier once you figure out some exploits.

No doubt

I preordered the collectors edition bc the steelbook is awesome and I wanted the soundtrack. Planned on selling the statue and coins and shite bc who in the world actually displays that.

Looks like collectors editions are going up on eBay for 200-300 bucks since it’s impossible to preorder them now. I may get the Amazon steelbook edition and just sell the whole collectors set

My only problem with the soul’s game is that there’s only so much realism you can put in a video game before it’s just not fun. And not really a video game either. Like, if Sekiro has free movement that FEELS free and really fluid...then that’s the kicker with me. The souls games were clunky at best and the control schemes only made it worse.

The original ninja gaiden black games did this so well and I just hope Sekiro is just a LITTLE bit like those games.
