This game is hard haha
>no summonsyep, dropped
>more souls slopboring
>>736641589On NG+5 demon bell charmless? It's moderately challenging
>>736641589>artificial difficultly
>>736641589what boss is filtering you atm?
>>736641589What annoys me about Sekiro is that the way you beat stages is totally different from the way you beat bosses. The fact that stealth and grappling hook exist makes it so that playing the level normally no longer teaches you skills you need to fight boss battles. In Dark Souls you do the same thing before and during a boss, you roll and stab and sip and wait for stamina to come back. But in Sekiro you spiderman your way to the boss, and then suddenly don't know what to do because you haven't fought a single normal enemy in the whole game.
>>736642320>stealth kill enemy>run away until his friends lose aggro>repeat until everyone is dead>"Heh, I'm so smart">encounter boss, get anally raped>"WTF"Kek
>>736642205NTA but Blazing Bullshit made me quit for good a couple of years ago. However I still have my physical Xbox copy and will probably try again one day.
>>736642770I don't really get why the bull filters people. It's a far easier fight than the boss you defeat a few minutes prior. Unless you just refuse to get the firecrackers.
>>736641589Took me like 35 hours to get to the last boss, and an entire weekend to beat that fucker. Shit was kino as fuck.
Dropped it for a second time last week. Just couldn't get the parry timing right for couple of the spear samurai mini bosses attacks, and getting to him started to get a bit annoying.Never understood why people like memorizing attack patterns and parry timings so much fun. All the (mini) bosses i had to fight fairly upto that point really felt like a chore.
>>736642770I beat him 1st try by just running around in circles and doing jump slashes :DI gave up on doing something fancier pretty quick
>>736644682Skill issue. The parry window is 12 frames.
>>736644682>memorizing attack patterns and parry timingsWhat the hell are you talking about? You press the parry button when they swing at you. It's not rocket science.
>>736641589Fromsoft creates a lot of difficulty by subverting player expectations. They only did the "prepare to die" promo cause they're smart and fans were basically asking for that via the content of western praise for DeS. In Sekiro's case, they hadn't made anything except Souls games in almost 10 years, and they purposely shuffled the buttons and basic mechanics around in a way they knew would trip up Souls players at least for an hour or two. So while it's fair to call it a hard game, once you understand the systems it's really only an iteration on previous games which were iterations on DS and DeS. I would estimate it's 25% harder at most.
>>736642205Right now it's Shirafuji. She's shooting me in the face and I can't do anything about it. I'll figure it out.
The mini-bosses are a lot harder than the real bosses. Like you gotta use the environment and items a lot more while against the memory bosses you just gotta go ham.
>>736647323it's her hook grab attack.you can parry it, but in the last possible momment. it's a little "late". also kill her once from behind befor e you start the fight. you also have items.
>>736643289>Unless you just refuse to get the firecrackerseven without the firecrackers, he's easy. i didn't even know about the firecracker arm until i was fighting isshin
>>736642770literally just sprint around him. if you get to the side, he always does this long ass "drift" animation to turn around and you can kick his ass easily
I just beat this for the first time a few weeks ago and the only bosses that gave me any trouble were corrupted monk illusion because of the insane posture recovery and demon of hatred for obvious reasons
>>736641589It's hard but it's kind of easy to cheese most of it by holding block and mashing parry.
>>736642205The last boss filtered me an year ago. I just can't get used to his spear attacks. Never reached the last phase and I know for a fact I'll fuck up the lightning counter if I get to it.
Beat it for the first time last year. Demon of Hatred angered me the most of any bosses, I simply refused to use the cheese tactic to kill him early and paid the price. Outside that and Two Apes though, I thought most fights were fun to learn, and the stealth is pretty enjoyable.
And now the gorilla with the sword through its head is kicking my ass. Wonderful.>>736650907My reaction time is slow which is why I'm struggling with this.
>>736641589I find it so funny how so many people bought this masterpiece only to get filtered by the first boss, if they even got that far.
>>736650907>>736651691>demon of hatredAppropriate name. because I fucking hate him
>>736651826>the 4% of players drop after the tutorial scares them too much to get to the end of it
>>736641806It's frustrating how tanky he can get due to boss vitality and posture scaling weirdly in subsequent NG+ runs. It's like an 8-minute fight.
>>736651826Someone out there has unlocked every achievement except Resurrection.
>>736652389Like Carmack and Chris Langan for intelligence+test, somewhere out there is the Sekiro giga chad.
>>736641589I was having so much trouble when I first tried it, it was unreal. Every fight was a horrific struggle. I got so mad that I thunder punched my mouse and broke it, after replacing my mouse the game was piss easy. It turned out my mouse was total bullshit and giving me just enough input lag that I couldn't properly do anything in time lol I beat Genshiro (? the lightning guy) first try.If you're struggling then get a new mouse or controller.
>>736645101Good post.Its like how the ER expansion punished you for learning the base game. In SotE every enemy had delayed attacks, every big boss would flip & fly around the arena trying to run away from you where the human/smaller bosses would try climb inside your asshole etc etc
i genuinely dont understand how people can find sekiro to be "hard" the game literally starts you off in EASY mode. it's not until much later / ng+ that you get to run charmless and demon bell. you can make so many mistakes before actually dying and even if you do die, you have multiple revives even during boss fights. not to mention you can unlock the umbrella prosthetic early for ez parries if you want to play this game while stoned are people just retarded? or are they just shitposting when they say they suck at this game?
>>736651826It basically punishes you if you try to play it as a souls game so I can see why a lot of people dropped it, it took me till Lady Butterfly till it sunk in that you just have to keep your foot on the gas all the time
>>736651826Unironically, Genichiro is the hardest boss in the game, at least relative to his placement where your skill level is. You can beat the prior mini bosses with sneak attacking to instantly take half their health, and the chained ogre / bull can be fought more like regular dark souls bosses. Genichiro is the boss who will kick your ass until you learn to stop pressing the fucking dodge button, but once you get past him you basically have all the skills you need to beat every other boss.
>>736652889Most of the players will never know that. Which is funny because he's basically incomprehensibly hard for people like that lmao.
>>736652889>kick your ass until you learn to stop pressing the fucking dodge buttonHe's unironically the easiest fight if you don't try to parry. Dodge attacks and just run away.People who think this game is just parryslop are people who has slops for brains.
>>736653189>not shown: literal hours of dying learning all his moves
>>736653189Most gamers aren't actually as interested in cheesing bosses as I suspect you think they are.
>>736653342>has to learn boss moves>surprised pikachu faceFucking casuals I tell you. it's the reason all games are fucking braindead slops.Not everyone needs hours of watching the same 5 moves to memorize them, scrub.
>>736653361Thats my favorite way to play nearly every game. Not to outright cheat like clip through walls and stuff but to break the AI or do stuff the devs never even thought about.
>Game gives you dozens of options to beat bossesToo hard! Bad game design! Shit game!>Game gives you one option to beat all bossesSloooooop!
>>736653437stop acting tough you know you died plenty
I got lost after the first monkey boss and snake temple and quit
>>736653526
>>736651941The tutorial that has you run around like a moron for five minutes?
>>736653189>you can run under his arrowslol?
>>736653562cant remember but dont you have to go to mount senpo and give the monk the flowers or some shit? or you could go back to the city thats now burning and fight your way to the top i think
>>736653729dont know what youre talking aboutafter the monkey i somehow found my way into a snake temple cave but it wouldnt open so after running around for a few more hours I just quitdownloading an actual noclip cheat crossed my mind just to find the fucking way but nah
Hirata Owl made me drop the game for 4 years, then i came back, owned his ass and during the same day killed the Demon of Hatred and Isshin. it was glorious, dont give up
