As a shameless Japanophile, this is still THE BEST Japan-themed game of all times.>The atmosphere>The gameplay>The cool characters>The music>The quotes>The replayability>The boss fightsYour counter-argument is invalid.
Isn't Assassin's Creed Shadows better if you only play as Naoe and ignore any reference to the modern world storyline?
>>724628504it's actually Nioh 2 but go off queen
>>724628504>The replayabilityLol lmao even
>>724628504>writhing in painAs Batman changed back into Bruce Wayne...
Literally a playable anime, fromsoft peaked with sekiro.
>>724628504I can only remember Genichiro, Isshin, Owl and the old lady.I enjoyed the aesthetics but I fucking hated the parry mechanics, absolute trash DDR game.Can't recall a single song from it either.
>>724630423>she doesn't remember the corrupted monk distorted violons>she can't get into a genuine "git gud" mechanic
>>724628870>is a ubisoft game better than a fromsoft gameHAHAHAHAHAAHHA
>>724630468I bought two copies as well because I wanted the collectors edition and it on Steam...I'm just as disappointed as you anon, I wanted to like it.
>>724630504To be fair being better than a fromsoft game is an extremely low bar.
>>724628870No because they forced in a nigger. Also all the characters are ugly and it has shit atmosphere.>>724630423I will admit the tracks aren't as memorable as Dark Souls or Bloodborne (maybe except Lady Butterfly and the main theme, or Ashina ambience), but for the purposes of atmosphere, the minimalistic music is great. It reminds me of music like Kurotokage.>>724629585I haven't played Nioh yet because I heard it gets very boring. But I have it in my backlog.
>>724630423Corrupted Monk is the most Japanese music to ever exist
>>724628504"The quotes" huh? I bet you quote the game in English.
>>724631090>隻狼よ..! 迷えば... 敗れるぞ...
>>724629585Nioh 2 is too cartoony and has too much history stuff. Sekiro has a much better atmosphere and more consistent design, while still being fantastical and anime.
Genichiro hair inspo.
>>724631309>Frees kingdom>Becomes king>Does nothing but drink booze and laugh as the kingdom collapses around him from mismanagement >Blames everyone else for it being a skill issue and says "I guess it just can't be helped"Fuck you old man
>>724628504Sry Sekiro-bro, but Ninja Gaiden 4 stole the spotlight for me. Still love Sekiro though ^_^
>>724631852he's a warrior not an administrator, also he got mortally wounded by a girlboss so he was slowly dying. At least he made sure his bro the sculptor didn't turn into a demon by slicing his arm off
>>724628504>shamelesspost feet
Hopefully, in Sekiro 2 we can romance the Divine Child of Rejuvenation
>>724630838>>724632208why weebs are always such pedos
>>724632208Hopefully we fucking get a Sekiro 2 in the first olace
>>724630318Seriously tho, has there ever been such a game where you just feel untouchable af? In sekiro once the combat clicks you just... Man it just feels so good
>>724632375any 3d ninja gaiden
>>724632267>pedosAt the time, it will probably be some years in the future, so she will grow up into a cute hebe. My hope is that it is not too many years later. We can gather persimmons for her.
>>724632375Nioh and MGR
>>724632484"hebe", nice word for kid
>>724632569A loli isn't a kid.Also, the Divine Child is immortal, she might as well be much older (while retaining her youthful looks). We don't know for sure.
>>724632942fucking christ you sound like a parody
You don't play a lot of games then.
>>724633078Well, post one if it's so easy, one that ticks all the boxes, especially atmosphere.Shota dating sims don't count.
>>724634286Do you want another GOTY contender, 3rd person soulslike with parry mechanics released in recent years or just a game set in feudal Japan ?
>>724628504It's actually incredible how fromsoft made a medieval Japanese game set in a mountainous region and didn't add a single hot spring.
>>724634730Anything that's set in Japan that ticks all the boxes from OPI'm actually not trolling, I wanna play something even better than Sekiro if it exists. I haven't encountered it yet. Ghost of Tsushima is supposed to be good but also heard it's super boring. On my backlog for now.Shogun 2 I guess is up there if you're into strategies.Ninja Gaiden looks great as well. Also on my backlog. Back in the day, Tenchu used to be great. But that's old as fuck.
>>724635590try sifu
>>724628504I came here to agree with you.
>>724634286This area is one of the most kino in all of vidya.
>>724628504Yeah, it's great.
I feel Wolf is still somewhat underappreciated as a protagonist just because he talks so little. The way his struggle at overcoming the mental scars left by his father are conveyed all throughout the game, including the environmental storytelling of Ashina's destruction, is very moving. And his relationship with Kuro is so sweet, sometimes I think about the moment where he tells Wolf about eating rice properly.
>>724631439Doubt Nioh 2 has its issues being "too much history", I would argue Sekiro is even more rooted in the real history of Japan. Nioh simply is just as you said, too cartoonish.
