MAIRE
SEKIRO

Miyazaki has said he wants to refine and evolve on the gameplay they introduced in Sekiro. So FromSoft probably has a new Action game they're making, but I'm guessing its gonna be a new IP.

>/v/ is ded
You only realized that now?

>>723695507
So a potential spiritual successor then? If so I'm all for it as long as the combat is as fun and amazing as Sekiro

When did he actually say that? Before or after ER?

sekiro is perfect as is
nothing needs to be changed about its systems except maybe removing the arm gadgets/weapons and stealth sections for a more pure experience

for me sekiro is a 10/10 and one of the greatest games ever made

but every other from soft game is nearly unplayable trash. the first half of dark souls 1 was alright, but thats it.

am I the only one?

>>723697521
Nah you're not.
I played sekiro over a dozen times but never managed to enjoy any other FronSoft game enough to finish it. Dark Souls 1-3, Bloodborne I dropped them all mid playthrough.

>>723697521

I like all recent From games, even Elden Ring, but I certantly respect Sekiro and Armored Core more. I would say Sekiro is the best, then goes Armored Core. I really like the PS2 games vibe they have.

Exactly, I finished Sekiro like 7 times on release and because of this thread I'm thinking about replaying it again(I already replayed it just 2 months ago)

While dark souls 1 and 2 I only finished once because honestly? that was enough for me, DS3 however I have a soft spot for, it's my first fromsoft game so I can't bring myself to criticise it that much(and it has midir and gael cmon now) but yes I do understand "linear souls 3"
Still finished it 4 times tho, 1str 1dex(sellsword is bullshit) 1caster 1pyromancer(fucking op.)

Bloodborne I only finished 3 times, and honestly? It was overhyped as shit, a lot of people say it's the best but it's mostly just to the aesthetics and yes those are 11/10 but the game itself is just dark souls 3 but with a gun, it does have Orphan of Kos which is one of my favourite bosses ever

And finally ER, it's alright. Has the most replayability but only finished it 3 times too, once in release and twice after the dlc dropped, Messmer is peak fight, everything else however is utter garbage

There, that's my retrospective, tldr I hope for more Sekiro instead.

>>723698085
Yeah, the sword duels are cool and all but you gotta have some variety, the prosthetic tools were a nice addition to balance things out

>>723696584
theres literally nothing stopping you from playing the game without prosthetics and stealth kills. you can already get the "pure" experience with 0 roadblocks. having more options for shitters like me isnt a bad thing, its way less egregious than the absolute cheese you can use to beat souls games. having to get through every area having to fight full on mobs without any stealth would not be fun for me. and theres plenty of straight up sword duels youre forced to learn and git gud with already.

>>723696584
I dunno anon that seems pretty boring desu, the prosthetic tool adds a layer of much needed variety

Plus, you can just... You know.. Not use it

>>723696584
They should improve on stealth sections more desu. Though I doubt From would overhaul their AI system to account for that.

They said Sekiro had no replay value. Well to this day it's the only fromsoft game I have around 9 playthroughs, I also tried some of the mods. Meanwhile I never wanted to replay ER and I replayed DS1 about 3 times. I honestly don't want another Sekiro, when I look at the slop they made after ER.

Imagine missing out on peak because of pure pettiness alone, actually sad anon you should feel bad

It would be cool if you had different swords or different stances sort of how Jedi Academy let you switch between light, balanced and heavy to switch up your basic swings for different enemies.

>DS3

>Messmer
Good taste in bosses too.

>>723700401
Peak idea, make it like nioh than jedi survivor stances

In nioh you got
High stance: slower, stronger.
Middle stance: default
Low stance: faster, weaker.

Then make it so a rock-paper-scissor type of deal where those 3 stances counter eachother but only slightly, enemies themselves switch between high to mid to low,band then you can even add by switching between stances it gives bonuses like reduced posture regen for 5 seconds but increased damage towards enemies, etc... you can theorize about this for days

>>723698680
Would be cool if enemies could actually react to dead bodies.

>>723700546
ds3 is just one of those games, I know it has a lot of glaring issues but I can't bring myself to hate it, I'll always have a soft spot for 3 even though unlike anon over there where he has nostalgia for it, my first fromsoft game was dark souls 2. I hate, Dark souls 2

>>723700234
dodgeslop is boring though, but i'll admit the graphics were pretty sweet.

>>723699990

>>723694660

Even today there is new shit discovered quite often, From really should stick to what they're great at, really amazing multiplayer games with fun evolving metas. Huge potential for trolling and memes that takes at least 1500 hours to get old.

I think its more likely Sekiro will get a sequel than Bloodborne. Sekiro is for all intents and purposes From's modern take on Tenchu

>>723696584
I kinda agree, but I don't mind the fat being there. You can already play Sekiro completely pure without using any arm powers. That's basically what I did. As long as they keep the sequel as is and don't force them, I'll be happy.

It's less that, and more that the defense is super one-note compared to something like KH1, where it's more left up to the play to choose to roll, outspace, block, or parry an attack, while still being one of the few action JRPGs willing to trust the player by challenging them out the gate.

Its a different battle system, and probably one of the best ive ever played. I dont think its fair to compare it to Nioh or Sekiro because it is different.
I get off in Sekiro when i perfect block and completely curb stomp the enemy predicting everything it does not letting it breathe. I get off in Rebirth with planning ahead as a team and destroying the boss in one stagger. I get off in Nioh 2 with completely abusing the enemy not letting recover spamming combos, items and Yokai powers.

Team Ninja sissies will forever seethe and live in the shadow of Fromgods.

Reminder that you can install the Resurrection mod and the combat art switcher mod and it's a brand new motherfucking game, and that you should do this once you've done the usual "NG+7 charmless bell what now I'm bored" arc that all Sekiro players go through.

>>723715973
>That said, party-based ARPGs are way more of an endangered species than turn-based games ever were.
There are many but rebirth/remake is the probably the only one that actually behaves like one. Games like tales of arise, trials of mana or visions of mana has a party, but they are not made like you play with an entire party, but one at a time. You dont really swap in between allies so they all act inedependent. The biggest offender is Grandblue link, you cant even swap characters.

>>723716269
Its probably the only straightforward one. It doesnt make the same soulsslop mistakes where you dont have a clue on whats happening.

>>723716269
>Is the story in this gameplay focused game good?
Why do fucktards care so much about story shite?

>>723716356
It's very easy to overlook because of the kind of game it is but Sekiro is full of hitbox porn. Swing your sword near a wall and you can see the sparks it drags along the wall perfectly align with the cut. You can avoid all sorts of hits just by the way your animation changes to avoid blades or limbs.

The only really janky hitbox is that thrusts are designed to punish you for jumping so you will absolutely eat them when jumping over them, even if they should whiff, and people latch onto that as proof of the game having shitty hitboxes (honestly, I think the game would be improved by having thrust attacks track the character vertically, I imagine it was a budget constraint issue that made them just extend the hitbox upward and let the enemy animation carry through perfectly horizontally)

Video games are all about context. Without context, you're just making boxes and capsules overlap other boxes and capsules. As Tomonobu Itagaki said, if you're only in it for the gameplay, nothing in video games can match chess, or backgammon; "video" is in the name for a reason. The visuals and narrative and design are a huge part of the value.

Playing Sekiro is not about timing parries. It's about feeling like a ruthless ninja on a quest to take revenge on an entire province of Japan. The combat serves this end by making you feel intelligent and powerful when you finally master it; you feel like you've achieved some sort of zen when you can predict everything the enemy does before they finish doing it and perfectly contradict their every behavior before cutting their throat.

Exceptional gameplay is a necessary, but not sufficient, element of making an excellent video game.

How BamHam gets routinely mocked for this, but not current From games, is beyond me.

>>723715942
HOLY LUDOKINO

>>723696584
Sekiro feels weird to play today given the lack of half a dozen dropped/cut plot points littering the game world.
It's weirdly complete story wise, for a Fromsoft game that is

>>723716883
Bamham mostly just gets shit for the ludicrous amount of magnetism it employs and for the extremely generous timing windows. The combat is basically reduced to a QTE because you have to TRY to fail the execution in a meaningful way. Sekiro may be conceptually similar but you actually have to know what you're doing if you want to not die.

Far more impressive to play than QTEiro.

>>723717262
Missing the point. In Sekiro, inputs correspond directly to actions. Pressing attack swings your sword. Pressing block raises your sword. The game doesn't feel the need to make your character into a living blender that carries out a 15 second combo cutscene because you pressed a button twice in a row. Every move you make is deliberate. That's a much stronger foundation for action game design.

The one exception to this in Sekiro is you get a couple of canned animations as dedicated special moves (like High Monk) but nobody is posting a webm of throwing a High Monk at empty air as though it's proof of the game's quality of combat design.

>>723717662
You say this like it's a bad thing. It's like those people who meme about how Sekiro's combat is Bop-It. Is that supposed to be bad? Bop-It is fucking awesome. Imagine playing Bop-It and going "I bet I could do this but you're a ninja with a grappling hook for an arm fighting a kaiju-sized headless gorilla". That's the sickest fucking shit.

Foundationally, "learn what the enemy does and respond appropriately, or you will eat shit and die" is an extremely solid design for an action game. No amount of flashy animation work is ever going to paper over a lack of solid foundation. Sekiro knows exactly how it works and it's tuned beautifully to that end. The only people who don't like it are
>shitters who got filtered, posting mad because bad
>people who want it to be a different kind of action game than it is, instead of embracing it

>>723717704
Rise of Ronin is a better open world than ER and there's SoP and Nioh series which are far more impressive games than anything Fromshit puts out.

>>723718047
Wait, does the game even have a combo system? I was so disingenuous at the idea of the game having an 11-input-long combo string logic I googled it and I can't find any indication that it has any combos at all. So what, this is just "the attack button" 11 times in a row?

Sekiro is the only good game From Software has ever made. But it's still an extremely good game.

>>723717890
Not terrible in a vacuum, but it simplifies what used to be a philosophy of making combat in action games like a chessboard, into basically just playing Ninja.

>>723718238
Yes, but in case of tifa it is an extended combo based on her Chi level, lvl 1 lvl 2 and lvl 3
lvl 1 its only like 4 attacks, lvl 2 is extended to the kicks and lvl 3 is the last punch down
and when you hold square (uppercut) into pressing square you do the last punch down immediately, it is really good for ATB generating

And thats for unbridled strength chi level, and not unfettered fury chi level which is magic based, and that one is prefered for fast ATB generating since it is faster

IMO there are a lot of different ways you can effectively design action combat, I don't think an action game has to work a specific way to be good, it just has to understand what it's demanding of the player and tune the game around that effectively.

>>723696584
Based. The gadgets are crutches and completely break immersion.

>>723718375
So it's basically KH2 style combat, where the only variable is "combo duration" and it's a function of weighing stunlock time against how quickly you reach your finisher.

It could be interesting mechanically, but you don't get to any of the things that are interesting about it by posting a 10 second gif of an uninterrupted "mash attack" string with max combo duration.

How do you think KH2 works? Apart from your command skills, you have one attack button, and it just cycles through an extremely long attack chain where length is modulated by stats/unlocks. You get your knockdown from your finishers and enemy revenge increments based on hits taken, so you make the choice about where in your combos to execute your finisher (using spells to force the knockdown earlier or extend it to later) so that the enemy's revenge value peaks when they're in forced knockdown and you can reset to a stronger juggle.

Which is a pretty interesting combat system, all things considered, though you wouldn't get to any of it by posting a webm of Sora doing a 15-hit keyblade juggle on a random heartless mook. KH2 has some really cool combat design but the animation work is not the reason that it's cool.

I think that style works great for boss fights [but not as well as making both reflexes and situational awareness matter], but less so for regular enemy encounters. Also bosses with mooks have their place when done right, so it's sad to see them go away almost completely.

Sekiro is a masterpiece. The game is a stroke of art Fromsoft laid over their technique of storytelling, attaining a perfect balance of atmosphere, gameplay and lore. There is not a single thing I would add or remove from the game, its a complete package which does not require any improvements. Not a single boss is a bad fight, not a single enemy is unnecessary, even the length of the game is just right - it ends right before it could begin to overstay its welcome.

I do not want a sequel. I do not want a DLC. I want Fromsoft to leave it as it is. As a golden standard of how games should be made.

So true... We must be better...

It's bland and forgettable like all Fromslopware games and white people food.

>>723719468
There are other axes you could measure on as well
>positioning vs timing
>crowd control vs 1-on-1

I think the best action games change which thing you focus on with context, though. You can't focus on all these things at once, but you can change which things are important on a fight-by-fight or maybe even phase-by-phase basis.

I won't apologize for not wanting to eat live crickets.

>>723696584
SekIIro should be a metroidvania with better stealth and platforming and combat deeper than DDR

>>723720995
So you want Nine Sols.

rather than having a sequel make half the morons on /v/ play the original

why do sekirofags feel entitled to endless discussion about a 20 hours long single player game? not only that, but they can't grasp the fact that no one cares about it and most people would place it in their top 50 games

Who ever key those animation is a fucking god.
Usually if you slow down the movement you will see how it break physic law or believe, but these didn't

>>723699071
theres great combos you just havent found them
shadowfall cancel wont deal good damage as youre missing on part of the hits, use sakura dance for that
>flame vent + living force -> normal attacks or fancy multihits like spiral cloud or sakura dance for big cost effectiveness
okay

>flaming vent -> living force -> sakura dance to be able to burn bosses that resist burn -> axe while youre falling down

>>723694660
There's no hope for FromSoft to make anything good again. If they do a Sekiro sequel it will be open world with copy-pasted dungeons and bosses and all bosses will have insanely delayed attacks and all enemies will jump out of the way the same frame you press your attack button.

>>723723426
Sekiro nor Fromsoft were never good to begin with.

>>723697521
No I agree. Sekiro is a sublime work of art.

>>723722662
What fucking luck, 3 goddamn times???

>>723694660
Sekiro is easily their most polished game (Bloodborne is still my favorite). I wish it got a DLC. A fromsoft game with Nioh 2 combat would be amazing.

I liked Sekiro but couldn't get into it like I could DaS or BB. I don't think the combat ever fully clicked with me even though I did all of the content.

>>723723867
A shame its one of those games i come back to because of the combat, i promise you once it clicks its like a dance, except against owl father, fuck that piece of shit

I never actually tried but do firecrackers work on isshin?

To be fair, Souls draws a lot from Armored Core. If you hate the stamina based combat, you probably won't like AC which combines that + an awkward tank control scheme that's hard to achieve competence. Then when they introduce dual stick, they kick you in the balls with reworked heat in Nexus and mission design in Last Raven.

Fromsoft really made pure peak, labelled it a side project, it sold 10mil copies, goty 2019 their first ever

Then never fucking touched it again... Why the fuck

>>723727372
they made the most influential action games for the last 15~ years and counting and everyone rips them off
i wouldnt worry much about a popularity context award
