>You literaly can run past every non boss encounter in the fucking game without issue>Dragonrot does nothing>Unseen aid does nothing>Losing sen on death does nothing because of money bags>You need to hold the x button to suck up sen and items for some reason>farming for sen and spirit emblems is annoying and discourages experimentation both inside and outside combat>there is no repercussion for failing at stealth>the upgrade paths for combat arts and prosthetic tools make no fucking sense>The bonfire and respawning enemy mechanic is pointless aside from sen farming>boss runbacks are pointless because of how easy they are>prosthetic tools are boring, break the flow of combat and are mostly just there to make the game easierRemind me again why people think this is the best game ever aside from the obligatory MUH HYPE MOMENTS and MUH DIFICULTY discussions that get regurgitated by pseuds all the fucking time?
>>737009229>Muh hype momentsthat zoomer meme didn't exist back when it released btw
Aren't you supposed to avoid direct combat outside of boss fights? I thought this was a stealth game.
Because Sekiro is literally just the equivalent of jingling car keys in front of a toddler. You press one button and you hear a CLANG with a bung of particles on screen, so normalfags giggle and clap. Helps that they don't have to manage their inventory or equipment or deal with any complicated stats and everything is so straightforward and simple. I get offended when they gush over this shitty combat and call it "perfect" when it just boils down to spamming blocks and couters. You don't even need to position youself properly or anything, the opponent will just come to you so you can keep pressing the CLANG button.>have to go into a menu to use a different movelooooooooooooooool
You must eat all the persimmons
>>737009505No its not lol. The "stealth" is a fucking joke.
L1 L1 L1 L1 L1 L1 L1 L1 L1 L1 R1Repeat
>>737009505kind of because you're not really meant to fight more than one enemy at once
>>737009229>You literaly can run past every non boss encounter in the fucking game without issueWoah, like a stealth game?

>>737009505There's no benefit to it if you're good at the game, enemies give XP, items and money so why not kill them, stealth kills are one-shots on pretty much everything and will even work on minibosses for half their health though so you are rewarded for being sneaky>>737009597As much as I like the game this is true, the enemies are completely retarded, it's the sort of shit you'd see in Skyrim webms of just how oblivious they can be
>>737009229It's interesting seeing someone who's slopped through Dark Souls 2 and then gets confused when they play a good game.
Game aged like shit and is one of the easiest souls games these days not to mention the shortest.
>>You literaly can run past every non boss encounter in the fucking game without issueYou didn't play the game, the apes in the mountain area can drop and kill you if you try run past them, the snipers can one shot you if u duck them
>>737009229Sekiro is one of my favorite games but you are right on pretty much everything. There are some mods which kinda fix these problems.
>>737009229Dragonrot and unseen aid are shit, so at least you got one part right.
>>737009729>dark souls 2 unpromptedObsessed LMAO
>>737009725>enemies give XP, items and money so why not kill themcause xp and money are worthless
>>737009229
>You literaly can run past every non boss encounter in the fucking game without issueit's a stealth game>NO YOU ARE SILLYok you're retarded and just want to argue for the sake of arguingi don't think it's as great as some people say it is though, yeah.
great gamethe first ng is kind of a slog bc of starting with just one chug but it gets better fastalso theres plenty of worthwhile shit to purchase and lots of the skills are definitely worth getting so xp and money arent worthless
>>737009229>You literaly can run past every non boss encounter in the fucking game without issueYes, but nobody does their first play through. Having the illusion of danger is effective design. In Subnautica, the Reapers are scary as hell to new players. When you play long enough you realize they’re paper tigers. That still works for what the devs were trying to accomplish.
>>737009229first three arguments are factually incorrect. review your work.
>>737009505>>737009649>>737009712>>737013317>b-but it's a stealth gameWhat part of >>there is no repercussion for failing at stealthdo you not understandThe game does almost nothing to actually punish you for failing at stealth or even engaging with enemies in the first place. There's nothing stopping you from completely ignoring the enemies altogether and either running past them or going on top of a random house and waiting until they lose interest in you. It's laughably easy. Even in a game like arkham city the enemies could shoot you down quickly if you failed at stealth. My problem with Sekiro's levels is that they're devoid of any actual tension. Aside from maybe a few exceptions like the gunfire in Sunken Valley there's barely anything that actually fucks you up because you can always just grapple and run from dangerous situations.
>>737013317>it's a stealth gamethen its not a good one considering its stealth system consists of "pressing the stealth button"its about as much of a stealth game as skyrim. focus is obviously on fighting shit considering how at no point do you ever have to stealth to progress
>>737009229>MUH HYPE MOMENTS and MUH DIFICULTYThat's it. It has arguably the best combat in a franchise better known for it's level design and world design. Sekiro is Froms worst game compared to their other Soulslikes once you start comparing anything else.
>>737015674You have to stealth the screen monkeys and the snake though I wouldn't be surprised if there's a way to just bumrush both
its not a stealth game you moronsits an action game with some minor stealth elements
>>737016263Being stealthy is literally the first think they teach you in the game.
>use this guy to do AC6>neck and neck with ACV as worst AC for me
why is it still $60?
>>737017548that doesnt make it as stealth game
>>737009229>game focuses on gameplay instead of pointless jrpg tedium lauded as great design for subhuman grindcucksBased. Sekiro mogs every fromsoft game for this alone
>>737009229>Gets *monk'd*
>>737009229All soulslikes are bloated dogshit that take triple the amount to beat than they should because of the reddit artificial difficulty.
>>737020582bro just press parry
>>737009229>same as every other Fromsoft game>yeah, big flaw, people should have died>saves you sen and XP>same as souls>because it's better than looting every corpse individually>good, fuck farming, you should never have trouble with sen ever>the repercussion is a lack of an instant kill button>who cares, it functions>same as every souls game>same as every souls game>wrong
>>737009505Avoiding ALL combat outside of bosses isn't really your goal as much as it's to create conditions that allow you to have 1 on 1 encounters with enemies. If you try to fight more than 1 guy at the same time, you're gonna get bumrushed. The game is built for 1 on 1 fights, the stealth is a tool for you to make that happen in enemy encampments.>>737020582Sekiro is the only one without artificial difficulty. The game is heavily predicated on the player actually learning how to play it correctly. Every attack can be deflected and if you time the deflects right, it doesn't even matter if your posture meter is full.
>>737020358Sekiro's combat is so amazing that it ruins other action games for me. Fromsoft needs to bring posture back
>>737015749It has the best story, best combat, and an as-good world. It has good and flashy bossfights with the flash still having mechanical impact, unlike most later flashy bosses where they float, start glowing, and then unleash a sequence of attacks you deal with identically to every other sequence of attacks. The most severe failing is a lack of weapon variety, but honestly every weapon in every souls game plays 95% the exact same.
>>737020931Don't forget that the world is fucking beautiful
>>737009663Is O O O r1 r1 O O that much more advanced?
