re: Beast of Reincarnation; August 4th Launch

That is brutal. I was excited for Relic First Guardian too and apparently it is dog water

Haven’t played it yet or watched anything about it other than I saw skill ups review titled he doesn’t recommend it?

Is their something wrong with the game?

Was just about to buy so if anyone would be kind enough to let me know if I shouldn’t I would appreciate it

Sekiro is my fave from game so I was hoping this was would be good and be somewhat flattering of an imitation

Hmm

Is the combat good at least?

Also don’t mind a shorter game if it is good. If the combat isn’t very good it sounds like a wait for the game to go on sell

Thanks for the details. It looks pretty enough I’m going to give it a buy.

Me and my wife live in Pooler ATM we also have a mortgage for a townhouse on 37th street downtown I’m currently renting to my youngest sister and her friends who go to SCAD following in my wife’s footsteps and paying the mortgage down with their rents

I’ll allow it

The sister I’m renting that place too is the only one of me and my two other siblings that didn’t go to UGA. She wants to do graphic design like my wife :smh:


ETA: I like it so far other than having to start over 25 minutes into the game when i learned it had English voice acting but it could only be changed from the main menu not in game

Honestly every part of this game is mediocre. The story with its weird pacing, the sociopathic main character, the combat, the skills, zones, just everything . Nothing outright terrible and it’s just engaging enough to push through so far (I’m in ch.5) but imo every piece of it would have benefited from more time in the oven.

Go for it if you have gamepass already but I wouldn’t really recommend this otherwise.

This being a Game Freak game it’s very similar to their recent Pokémon games where you’re sitting there wishing they would have done just a little more.

Given you like Sekiro best you should check this one out if you haven't played yet:

Echoes of Yi: Samsara

It is basically "We have Sekiro at home" but I enjoyed it.

Your PC should be able to handle it, pretty mid graphic wise. If you love Sekiro it is literally like a copy of it just not as good of course.

One interesting part of it is you can change the difficulty from 0 to +10 or -10. I found that a little frustrating as I didn't know which level the true challenge was

I truly don’t get the complaining the game is very very good imo on ps5 pro.

I couldn’t tear myself away and finished chapter 3

Hard mode is not a fricking joke either which I love. I did chapter 1 on normal and like most of chapter two then moved it to hard for the chapter 2 boss and kept it there.

You have far far less room for ever. The parry time is still more generous than Sekiro but you have way more to keep track of in this game at one time than in that one which is just a clever disguised rhythm game.

You need to be aware of when to parry when to perfect dodge, how and when to properly use you hack and slash combos, manage your dogs attacks, and more I don’t want to spoil stuff for people not where I am yet

The combat loop is basically perfect parry’s is what you always want to be aiming for because that is what charges the dogs FP for his moves, which each move can further then be modded for an additional minor effect like Slowing enemies in a AOE or curing you of a status element.

The game is more or less Sekiro style strategy but with a super forgiving perfect dodge for blinking red attacks to feed into you dogs attacks then when you fill your bars as much as you want for the combo you want to use let it rip. Rinse and repeat

I’m in the 4th zone now and I’ve got the loop down nearly as optimized as can be.

Focus on perfect parry’s to build you little meter at the bottom (expand that asap to at least 5 bars) and your dogs.

If you don’t neglect your dog I had him at level 10 maxed out companion in chapter 3 so he had 6 slots of the minor moves and then eventually filled out major moves from boss kills.

The trick is to know what you’re fighting and what they’re weak to. Golem as weak to Destructive so use one of his 3 starting moves Bloom should be used on them for instance.

This will break them and let you get into aerial combos. Also your starting move of r1 + square is super OP because you can pull your self into the air with the flower that spawns and either come down heavy with helm splitter (another move you should race to) or in the air if you open your bow or crossbow you get breath of the wild slow motion on the way down.

Also in chapter 3 you meet a guy who allows respecs after you save him as part of the main quests

If you need any help just ask. If you’re on hard I’ll just say now chapter 4 you’re going to need to be able to crank a ton of poison damage, there’s a monk on the map who will give you a poison sword for free so you don’t have to buy it from the merchant at the final boss camp
