I would, but I've never played lol. Just doesn't seem that interesting to me. The levels all look the same and the combat seems boring lol. So I won't find a flaw because I'll never play it

MCs arms are too long, looks weird

no sequel

Demon of Hatred

It really needed to hone in on the stealth elements more. Past a certain point you get good enough at the combat and its just an action game.
I also feel like the game does a very bad job prompting you to experiment with sword arts and prosthetics, I had no idea that many of them dumpster certain enemies or bosses until I read about them online. I think this is largely due to the hard limit on text space in the menu descriptions, which also fucked up the translation of some plot relevant item descriptions.
That said still a great game. Favorite boss is the polearm monk woman in Mibu and on the Fountainhead Bridge.

>>731144756
There is no more of it

The spirit emblem system sucks, it feels like shinobi prosthetics were originally meant to play a way bigger role in the combat, but somewhere during development they decided to make them way less important

parryslop.

Sekiro caused me to play through the entire Souls series, because even when I knew how parrying worked, I was bad at it. It's not optimal for a game to require you to play other games before it.

I haven't even played Sekiro yet. I am still at Dark Souls 3 and I barely do any parrying in these games, before I prefer using a high damage Greatsword.

Combat against groups is pretty horrible because it's still designed around lock on strafing like all From games. The headless. The underwater headless. The underwater dual headless. The lack of DLC despite all from games getting meaty DLC. That's it. Everything else is fantastic.

The player's posture not breaking when the posture bar is filled if you keep deflecting. Itd be a lot more interesting if good gameplay meant you had to learn when to back off to recover your posture instead of just learning all the parry timings and not caring about your posture bar at all

>>731145153
parrying in souls is nothing like parrying in sekiro, this journey will just make you worse at sekiro, lmao

>>731144756
Having one slot for an additional meme attack instead of an actual expanding moveset is ass
The last skill tree being allegedly shit Isshin combined into his own style but realistically just being random endgame skills for the other trees which is half ninja shit Isshin couldn't even do is lame as hell
The ninja magic is a joke
Tomoe DLC being scrapped and repurposed into Malenia for Elden Ring makes both games worse

>>731144756
activision not funding an expansion

Can we talk about fromsoft, with a single playable character of their silly little spin-off, did a better job at evolving and building upon Sekiro's deflects than
>every single fucking game ripping off sekiro, COMBINED
Why is it so hard for action game devs to come up with cool new playstyles that actually fit their own games? 98% of developers are doing a bad job of ripping off what 1% of developers make. They are all reducing it to a boring "press button when enemy deos anything" simulator because they removed all the back-and-forth clashing and fancy animating that sekiro has. 9S, Lies of P, Khazan, Wolong etc all criminal of this boring shit.

Meanwhile fromsoft, having actual braincells and creativity:
>hm, a sekiro parry character would be awesome but it would get a bit one-dimensional when slapped on top of elden ring enemies
>okay hear me out what if we make it so staying in the sekiro parry stance is bad, gimping your damage output and status effects, while still having good damage potential if its moves are used correctly. So you are encouraged to juggle it with your main weapon that has more upfront damage and can aidsmaxx all the enemies
>okay to make this juggling cool and dynamic, lets make it so you can deflect attacks while sheathing and unsheathing your sword!!!
Literally just come up with any new playstyle or change the status quo of it, it cant possibly be that hard

Sure.
>no character creation
>no customisation
>forcing story on you after Dark Souls was praised for not making story a main focus
>to make things worse it's told in a ZZZZZZZ worthy manner with everyone talking in a dull, monotone voice for extended periods of time
>Main character is a complete bore without anything resembling a personality
>the combat boils down to just spamming the block button until the red dot pops up and you can do the same kill animation you already saw dozens of times
>garbage level design with no satisfying rewards despite the fact more mobility could allow for fun things
>DOGSHIT, laughable excuse for a "stealth system"
>you have to GO INTO A MENU TO USE A DIFFERENT SPECIAL MOVE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>No fucking multiplayer
Tell me if I missed anything.

>>731144756
I love sekiro but having beaten it I have no clue where people are coming from saying it's From's hardest game, do people refuse to parry/deflect???

>>731145305
Well, I am not used to Action-Roleplaying games, so my experience will still help me.

>>731145595
i know this is bait but
>>you have to GO INTO A MENU TO USE A DIFFERENT SPECIAL MOVE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
holy fuck this.
I wish they had two separate slots, one for more "utility" combat arts (ie: nightjar slashes, rpraying strikes, floating passage, whirlwind slash) and for more burst damage, typically emblem-consuming combat arts (ie: mortal blade, dragonslash, ashina cross, maybe ichimonji if having a free one is deemed cool)

compensate this by not letting you switch outside of idols
>>731145789
i think your build might have been lacking in souls games overall, theyre usually easier both in the upfront enemy moveset and also how much you can chunk and tank the bosses
with that said, most people arent considering being raped by DS2 enemy placements

>>731145854
Sekiro and Lies of P clicked for me that neither game is going to give you this dark souls style BIG OPENING. you have to dance the dance of parrying every attack you can, and stealing your jabs when possible. It's more rhythm game than action game

>>731145595
>a game that isn't an RPG is flawed for not being an RPG
Yeah, you missed the part where you weren't a retarded faggot.

>>731145040
Can alphies really not just experiment?

>>731147005
No, they can only follow tutorials or look things up on fextralife. That's why open ended game mechanics scare and annoy them.

>>731144756
No replay value

>>731147005
what's the point of expiramenting when the free solution is usually just to parry better

>>731144920
Kek thats true, why soulslops cant make normal proportions and hot girls.

>>731144756
No customization, would like to make my own Ninja fit

>>731147783
>when the free solution is usually just to parry better
because flame vent ravages the fuck out of any human boss

>>731147832
>>731144920
it goes equally as far down on his legs as my arms do IRL
are you guys just too used to silly anime girl proportions?

Wolf has a defined character but the game asks you to make a choice basically as him or not as him, which is stupid. It may as well say 'do you want the canon ending or the non-canon out of character ending?'.

>>731144756
Lightning being so powerful and easy to counter turns the last phase of the 2 best bosses into a cakewalk.

>>731144756
ugly game

>>731145595
>you have to GO INTO A MENU TO USE A DIFFERENT SPECIAL MOVE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Something that also irked me was that you had to press the two buttons you use the most and often quickly switch between during combat at the same time which results in a pretty high chance of activating those moves by accident.
Should've been bound to a combination that you don't use that often.
