>singlehandedly destroys AshinaWhy did he do it?
>>738044735They took his shota.
>>738044735>Ashina cant be defended by normal means anymoreLegitimately what did Genichiro mean by this? They have a giant Snake living below them, at least two giant apes, which can come back from the dead, fucking spec ops tier snipers and the entire country is only accessible by ninja rope. How much more defense did they need? Tokugawa cant be THAT stacked, all they have are flamethrowers.
>>738045004all KNEEL against the tokugawa shogunate
>>738045004Tokugawa has William Adams. Can Wolf deal with Nioh 1 Sloth?
>>738045385Wolf EASILY no diffs Wirriam-dono.
>>738045004I'm assuming it's the sheer numbers, ashina is one small nation probably not even a modern-day Japanese prefecture in size and more like... Manhattan? Or Staten island Anyways basically geni wants immortality to balance out the numbers disadvantage, also they don't control the snake or the apes those are just environmental things that the interior ministry can ignore
>>738044735>Take a man's boy wife>Wonder why he exterminates your clan.You're retarded.
>>738045004>snakesDont work for them>apesOne, and he doesnt either>snipersAmmunition isnt infinite nor is their force power.Tokugawa owns the whole fucking country+whatever he can get by trade which is exclusively done in ONE port which he has control over it, if he wanted to he could take down Ashina with or without Isshin, the thing is he is a smart man and doesnt want to take unnecessary losses, so waiting for Isshin to croak saves a few thousand man, which is what "defended" Ashina.An army of immortal samurai would have the same deterrent effect. Tokugawa could still beat them by finding some anti-immortality shit in his arsenal, but it would take time.
>be new Ashina guard>have to side step all the crazy officers>avoid the cliffs>and the snakes>and the monkeys>and the crazy monks>leader doesn't even care>just wants immortalityThis job can't get anymore wor-
>>738045004>How much more defense did they need?Clearly a lot more since these guys were just waltzing in and out of Ashina scot-free, despite Isshin's Batman interventions.
>>738044735He didn't. Ashina was being destroyed be Tokugawa, that's why Kaiba wanted to become immortal, but it was never meant to be
>>738045004He means that isshin is dying, he is literally the deterrent the interior ministry sent countless lone shadows to gather intel on isshins health and literally waited until the old man was dead to attack Fucking guy had an entire country halt their advance all on his own, him being alive was ashinas greatest and sadly, only defense, with him dying geni needed a different deterrent, he needed an immortal army
>>738045004>What Ashina Timmies gon' do?!
Sekiro 2 is gonna be so good...
>>738045845>, him being alive was ashinas greatest and sadly, only defenseNot quite the case, they have some decent forces that would slowdown their downfall (this is proven with the Ashina Spear+Samurai double boss fight) but Sekiro kills most of them before the invasion.
>>738046093if the anime does well, so please watch it so that we can get a sequel
>>738045004Tokugawa were busy fighting in Nioh games they were stacked to, Genichiro wasn't ready yokai to appear
If you don’t think Sekiro is From’s best combat you are gay.
>>738047589AC6’s was better.AC4’s was only good in multiplayer.
>>738045004>and the entire country is only accessible by ninja rope
>>738046243We'll all be there day one. Every single person in the world will watch it. Sekiro 2 is real.
Where did owl went wrong
Only thing that would've been able to stop the invasion was demon of hatred but ashina can't control that
>>738046243FROMSOFT PLEASE! ACTIVISION DO SOMETHING!!!!!
>>738044735>singlehandedly>got raped by genichiro 5 minutes after the game starts>had to be helped by the sculptor and ema???

>>738044735john sekiro is so cool
>>738053538cute space buns
>>738052316Just imagine if Ashina had a thousand of these niggas. Tokugawa wouldn't dare.
>>738044735>>738052006>>738052445Why do they look caucasian?
Last act was fucking depressing >Isshin dead on his to the battle>every injured solider begging you to save ashina >That guy who went mad>those two guards standing their ground >Sculptor turned into the demon it was upsetting to say the least
>>738053705Emma is a hafu (source is my ass).Also, Ashina had some pretty wacky phenotypes going on.
>>738053705Emma does But Sekiro is just a height T Asianlike that guy from I Saw the Devil
>>738053705Japs are divided between Jomon and Yayoi (gooks), the owl and emma are probably jomons, gennichihiro? yayoi loser

>>738054152He's a hotshot-- hotshots always get the qt.
>>738044735Sekiro from the perspective of genichiro is so fucked, reminder EVERYTHING happens in one day, one singular day, lmao
>Laser tight focus on its core combat and boss encounters, no unnecessary fluff to distract from it like PvP or levels>Giting gud and effortlessly raping a boss that fucked your shit up earlier is incredible>Arguably the most kino bosses FromSoft ever made with spectacular setpieces, memorable fights and tons of small details>Still talked about and beloved to this day despite being a SP game>Pretty much the one modern From game without "that part" (Don't say swamp you disingenous fuck, there's a grand total of one that you spend two minutes flying above while ninja roping around at 100 mph) or a blatantly unfinished part>No MTX horseshit >All of the above despite being published by Activision of all fucking companiesHow the fuck did they do it bros
>>738044771fpbp this is the only correct answer
>>738045004>They have a giant Snake living below themSnake doesn't work for Ashina you dumb dumb.>at least two giant apesThe apes don't work for Ashina you dumb dumb.>fucking spec ops tier snipersThey don't work for Ashina you dumb dumb.
>>738046093>>738046243SHARPEN IT.
>>738045845Genicihiro didn't want an immortal army. Blessing every foot soldier would've been a disaster, spreading dragon rot like the plague. His plan was to have himself bound to Kuro's oath instead of Wolf. Even though he's not Isshin/Owl/Wolf tier, an immortal Genichiro is still a strategic nightmare for the interior ministry.
>>738056537>How the fuck did they do it brosBandai Scamco couldn't meddle with the project and ruin it like they ruined Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3.Sekiro, Elden Ring and Armored Core VI (and deracine) all started development after Miyazaki became president and FromSoftware was big enough to not get pushed around and forced do things they didn't want by Bandai Scamco.I can't wait for FromSoftware to finally self-publish world wide so I Bandai Scamco will never ever get my money, they are parasites and all true FromSoftware fans should hate them for how much damage they did to the Dark Souls games.

>>738058762Scrapped implies they were planning to make one in the firs tplace
>>738058491What's From's next game again? Is it just the Bloodborne look alike?
>>738058970a fortnite like on switch 2
>>738058491>time travel back in time>fight 1v2 vs younger sculptor + his partner who ended up being eaten by the Guardian Ape>fight younger Isshin>fight Tomoe>fight another unique non-human wild large enemy like Demon of Hatred and the ApesThat is all they had to do, those 4 bosses, it was all there, the DLC didn't even have to be that long, just a short and solid DLC with those 4 boss fights.
>>738047668AC6 and Sekiro is peak fromsoft game.
>>738061320>AC6 and Sekiro is peak fromsoft game.Exceptionally good taste.
>>738059160You forgot >Fight prime owl, he is the final boss of the dlc
>>738059160>his partner who ended up being eaten by the Guardian ApeKingfisher needs to be a qt with a big swordhttps://tapas.io/episode/1621410
>>738059160Sounds like Old Hunters kino-worthy.
>>738061320>>738061402Curoius about AC6, is it recommended to play previous entries first? Or is this more of a standalone game?
>>738062201>sculptor had to install his waifu's finger to your left armgrim
>>738062274There is no need to play the previous AC games, you can jump straight into ACVI, it is standalone.The generations of Armored Core and the games that are linked story wise:1. AC1, Project Phantasma, Master of Arena, AC2 and Another Age.2. AC3, Silent Line, Nexus, Nine Breaker and Last Raven.3. AC4 and For Answer.4. ACV and Verdict Day.5. ACVI Fires of Rubicon.
In real life Date Masamune under the orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu conquered Ashina (iirc).
>>738061884Isn't Inner Father supposed to be prime Owl?
>>738058269Btw Genichiro became one of those in the Shura ending.
>>738063060Fuck Date Masamune and Tokugawa Ieyasu.FREE ASHINA.LONG LIVE ASHINA.LONG LIVE ISSHIN SAMA!
>>738063143Oh wow, I didn't think of that. Shura ending is more crazy than I even realized.
>>738063064Hell no that's still just old man owl, im talking bout cutscene owl
>>738061884I think Tomoe is canonically the strongest character we hear about, so she should be the final boss.
>>738063416He is still too old here, if we go back to Tomoe time line, he should be younger.
>>738057526Doesn't matter. An army trying to march on Ashina is going to have to deal with them on their way.
>>738063143>Headless that spams lightning powers and Fountainhead moves

>>738063931interesting...
>>738057557you know that means you gotta buy a switch 2 for duskbloods?
>>738044735Ultimately Sekiro is the same story as all the other Fromsoft games since Demon Souls (Except AC6).It's a story about a man desperately trying to change a history that is already written and decided, the central conflict is between those who are resigned to the future they all know is coming and those desperate to change it.>>738045004The Tokugawa can just starve them out, they're too weak and too close to Edo.A war with Tokugawa once he started to move west is simply unwinable.>Tokugawa cant be THAT stacked, all they have are flamethrowers.And the entire economy of a unified and pacified eastern Japan.
>>738064603>The Tokugawa can just starve them out, they're too weak and too close to Edo.This is the realistic answer.The game is pretty clear that regardless of what you do Ashina is going to fall, if you hadn't opened the way for their army they would've just closed off Ashina and waited for everyone to starve.
>>738052445Truly he is the greatest Shinobi of them all.
>>738058491I just wish we could've fought Malenia with Sekiro mechanics and a bit deeper moveset.
>>738045385William can't swim though. What if Wolf just stays in the water forever.

>>738065986It wants your shirikodama
>>738056537I honestly have no idea. The game is fucking perfect. Even the wholly reasonable argument that a lot of the prosthetics and weapon arts feel useless doesn’t detract enough from the game to make it feel any less perfect. 2019 was truly the last decent year on this gay earth.
>>738066840>Even the wholly reasonable argument that a lot of the prosthetics and weapon arts feel useless doesn’t detract enough from the game to make it feel any less perfect.So you're just using words that you don't understand, then

>>738063885Yea, eight episodes or so. In Japan it'll come out as a movie, which explains the higher production values.I feel like if this is done correctly it'll spark much deserved newfound appreciation for this game's story. I think it's very underrated.

I don't mean to just rag on Elden Ring for no reason but is fucking unreal how much higher esteem I hold this game in and just how far these games fell in about 3 yearsThese are both games produced by Fromsoftware. They both have swords and both revolve around combat. They both have lofty lore about past events. They both have some bullshit allegory about "fire" and a dying world.Sekiro is a game. It requires patience, intelligence, diligence and a willingness to get the shit kicked out of you a hundred times before you call yourself good at it.Elden Ring is a "game". It's a bunch of stuff happening pretty colors and people doing backflips with almost no depth. You know you care about it because there's a big bombastic soundtrack with 20 violins and people yelling expository dialogue like "TAAAAAARRRNISHED!".There exist real people with a real internet connection that will tell you that you don't like Elden Ring because it's "too hard". God help the people that played the game with the magic horse and pick this up and then expect a similar experience.
>>738081973FromSoftware combat is fine, Elden DOGSHIT Ring combat is fine, the problem with Elden DOGSHIT Ring will always be the open-world.Open-world killed that game.If there was no open-world, there would be no casualization.The only reason they included the spirit ash summon system is because they had to populate the open-world dogshit with items to pick up.The only reason the crafting system exists is because they had to populate the world with something to pick up/gather/collect/find (cookbooks).The only reason 90% of the enemies and content are skippable, cheesable, exploitable is the open-world.Fuck the open-world.Fuck anyone who likes open-world games.
>>738044735Boycunny
>>738082284as i get older i have come to agree with thisopen world is literally always bad. ive NEVER played an open world game and enjoyed it more than i would a tight linear experience.including shit like gta/rdr2/et cetera
>>738044735i have neve runderstood this smile meme people photoshop onto characters. there is nothing funny about it. all it accomplishes is making me cringe and assume the poster is a moron

>>738083540>all it accomplishes is making me cringe and assume the poster is a moronmany such cases.
>>738082284No. It's the dumbest most one dimensional "combat" that abuses everything that Dark Souls got right in 2011.If you want an analogue then think of the Star Wars prequels. Yoda is doing 50 backflips and bouncing off walls so you know it's at least 50 times cooler than Darth Vader and an old man waddling around in a hallway.It all gets reduced into bullshit ballerina dance of button mashing.
>>738083540very cool bro, you can assume whatever you want and your opinion is truly respected
>>738045598>apes>Onetheres literally a boss fight where you fight 2 at once dumbass
>>738084769Only one of them is immortal
Is Sekiro pro- or anti-Buddhist?
>>738086550All of the various attempts and methods of achieving immortality were attempts at subverting Buddhist teachings, something like a Jew killing a chicken. Buddha taught that breaking free from the endless cycle of life is the ultimate goal. The monks don't break the cycle, they bend it to a still, since they can no longer die. And you can see in their imagery that this leads to them becoming le evil, as they stray further and further away from the Buddhist ideals. Genichiro seeks immortality out of practical reasons, and the game is very thick about explaining that this is morally wrong. At the same time, it's also pretty clear about immortality severance being le good.
>>738087414>something like a Jew killing a chickenI require context
>>738087551jews, in order to avoid punishment from god, transfer their sins onto a chicken and then slaughter it, thereby subverting god's expectations for man.
>>738087414Immortality in this physical realm is evil, Sekiro is based in that regard.Only the LORD Jesus Christ can grant eternal life and eternal life is meant for the spiritual realm, not this physical realm with its limitations.
>>738045004Dude, we see the Tokugawa assault on Ashina and it's a one-sided thrashing. Chudnichiro was 100% right to be shitting the bed.
>>738088285To be fair, it was a one-sided thrashing because Sekiro killed all of Ashina's best soldiers.
>>738088285Given what we know about the divine heir's immortality, Genichiro would have been not any more effective than Wolf at attempting to stop the invasion. He would have probably achieved a stalemate, but at the cost of culling all life around him due to dragonrot, since he would have inevitably died over and over and over and over. Which is why Wolf never tried that.I wonder in what proportions did Shura Wolf kill the soldiers compared to the townsfolk. Is there a merit to the assumption that the thousands dead civilians could be just a consequence of his endless revivals?
>>738088773I interpreted it as unbound bloodlust, that he killed everyone and anyone he came across. Even though it’s the bad ending I love resolution that nobody can go to Ashina anymore become Wolf will just kill them.
>>738046243I like that they made her Japanese. The only gaijin in Sekiro should be Roberto Sr.
>>738083540bro is mad
This is the only modern from software game I dropped as it was too hard and annoying. I finished all the souls games and armoured core 6.

>>738090505I cant recall desu. I havent played it since the month it came out on ps4.
>>738090712Well, I encourage you to try it again if you have your playstation still. It's got some new stuff, a boss-rush mode once you beat the game. And maybe we'll be getting a shot at a sequel soon, could be just the time to get into it.
>>738090881at this point id probably just buy it again on PC and start from the beginning
>>738044735im waiting for a discount to play this game with auto parry mod
>>738090935For sure, it's great on PC.
>>738090975>auto parry modWhy?
I like how the Owl is proud when you kill him.Student surpasses the master trope is kino.
>>738091128its more enjoyable that way
>>738091219Just watch it on youtube at that point, save the money.
>>738044735Dark Souls logic. You're just an ordinary guy and literally everyone is trying to kill you on sight so you kill them first.
>>738084769One of them is a ghost.
>>738091163I like how Owl just made up some bullshit ninja code to get you to obey him and it's never mentioned in game that is what he did but it is totally fucking obvious and Sekiro is the only character who actually thinks it's legit.

>>738089871>Rooooooooooooooobertoooooooooooo(it's kind of cool btw, European medieval armor was highly sought after in Japan and China during that time period; the inclusion of that guy was a nod to that)
>>738045004>snakeI tuned off this game after I completed it shortly after release. Did lorefags ever figure out what the snakes were in the context of the story?
>>738092305I love how much of a dickass Owl is the whole time. Pretending to have defended Kuro’s parents during the attack on the estate, pretending to want to serve Kuro, pretending to cry when Wolf won’t obey him and leaving Kuro to clean up both Emma and Isshin.
>>738092786Hey, as long as it works! I like how Owl and Ashina have seemingly the same philosophy; just win. But both go about it in such different ways.
>>738092786I'll be honest I think both Owl and Lady Butterfly were desperate to get their hands on immortaloty due to their age, and kind of lost it because of itwouldn't be surprised if the real reason Wolf was given to Kuro was for intel gathering for his teachers
>>738046243This is giving me Samurai Champloo vibes. Who's making it?

>>738044735I'd be willing to do anything for my shota husbando as well. >>738044771fpbp
>>738093286The sake conversations are subtly one of the best things this game does compared to any other fromsoft game. Rewarding your exploration/spending with character moments and backstory is such a genius way to make you care about a story that's otherwise only slightly less subtle than the average fromsoft game.
>I'd be willing to do anything for my shota husbando as well.
>>738046243looks like shit, should've looked like picrel kino.Only good anime ever made, how come japs can't ever reach this level of kino. Sekiro was the only good japanese media that was at this level, everything else they make seems to be utter slop

>>738096173This but unironically and without a sarcastic image.
>>738082284Holy fvcking trvth nvke
>>738097661>intrigued>look up some trailers and clips>ninja scroll is just snuff pornWhy is all anime like this?
>>738097952Anime website, anime game board, anime posters. Deal with it, gaijin.
>>738097952It seems to be about killing demons.
>>738090975just try playing normally and see how far you can get. I almost quit after a few hours of trying to beat chained ogre the legit way with both health bars, but then I said fuck it and killed the bastard with 1 life bar. lady butterfly made me cry from anger until I became aggressive as fuck and brute forced through. bull seemed impossible after 10 fails, but I managed to kill him under 20 minutes of retries. I could challenge genichiro now but I'm playing it the wrong way and clearing all the other areas first. perseverance is the only "skill" you need in sekiro and not having it is the only legit run killer. if you decided to give up before you even started, why even bother?
The first Shinobi hunter made me rage so hard I fully uninstalled and deleted the game for about three days before I reinstalled it and tried again. Man, it felt great to scream FUCK YOU when I finally got his ass.
>>738097952What are you talking about? Ninja Scroll just has some titty sucking and fingering. Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust has nothing, it's just peak fucking content. Wicked City is rape scene after rape scene
>>738098370Doubt.
>>738097952All anime is not like that you... You... SILLY GOOSE!
>>738044735/v/ truly became a slower board, this thread should've either died or gotten double its replies to be alive right now. I hope it means effortposts will make a comeback

>>738098884By how much have the IQ tests culled the board?
>>738097952The 2nd half isn't like that it's just the stone monster guy that brings violence to the next level.
>>738099358I never understood why people struggled with Lady Butterfly, she was a real easy fight... and then I did a charmless playthough and understood everything. She's the hardest boss next to Sword Saint without it
>>738083540Billions must smile
>>738097632True. Lord Kuro a cute!
>>738099358madamada koinu
A Sekiro thread that lasts more than 50 replies!?!? In this economy!?!? Beautiful
>>738076276Oh yeah. Them little Humpty Dumpty fellers.
every since I beat this game back on release it's remained the most consistent Fromsoft game I keep mentally coming back to. I don't know if its because of how good it was or if I played it during a good time in my life, or all of the above but I've been itching to replay or just have more from itHappy for the anime but i'm just hoping we get more sekiro in general, I loved the fuck outta this game and its world and really wanna see what that true ending would lead to with wolf going to the west
I only went for the Owl father ending, are the other boss fights worth going for?
>>738093176There’s no iframes in AC6 except for very minute stuff that’s in every video game but even then, there’s little compared to most action games. Your HP is a real resource.
>>738098638*chuckles*

>>738098638Canon event for almost every playerThe three great filters are:>Chained ogre >Shinobi hunter>GenichiroIf you beat all 3 you can 100% beat the game
>>738044735Blame it on the boogie.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zcOUnXd-HQ
>>738074745My cat is 19 years old, I'll end his happy life if that makes you feel better anon.
Fountainhead Palace is one of From's best areas in all of their games. The music, the big lake in the middle, the rope man cut-scene, the corrupted monk entrance, the okami warriors, the pot man, the giant karp, and everything really. They did a flawless job of really creating this divine/mystical spirited away type of place. They really did a superb job with the music in this place in particular.
>>738106476While mii-Boo village wasn't a real challenge i really enjoyed the look and vibe of that placeLittle villagers had head neat designsI wish ER had places like that with actual residents
>>738106476Then they added this shit to it.
>>738106476The only thing I didn't like about Fountainhead was>Encounter enemy>The first 10 seconds of https://youtu.be/PZ5DWru1WxU?si=ftb5qfMB5W6zO20p plays>Kill enemy>Music stops>Encounter a new enemy seconds later>repeat
>>738099573>and then I did a charmless playthough and understood everything.literally me.They say Sekiro is the easiest game after it clicked. Charmless and demon bell run (even in NG) fucked me up.
>>738107242He's off to the side and I don't really mind the bull enemies that much. The atmosphere is just so good in the area.
>>738093176The only one who thought AC6 is bad is acfags themselves because it doesn't played like AC4. That's it.
>>738107242at least you can get the literal drop on on it to shave off 1/3 of its HP instantly, unlike blazing bull
>>738056537>>All of the above despite being published by Activision of all fucking companiesactivision is the only reason the pc port is as good as it is, fyi
>>738097952>>ninja scroll is just snuff porn>Why is all anime like this?Because anime in the 80s-90s was hardcore and sexually charged. You forever onlines just wouldn't understand what that was like when the alternative was completely censored and heavily controlled western animation.
>>738107768How do I get the charm offKuro keeps telling me to drink the gourd I'm starting to feel like this is a mod and not actually vanilla
>>738044735SeKINO
>>738108419Beat the game at least once. Then make a new save.
Why was everyone but Genichiro so apathetic to the fall of Ashina? At least Kuro could've asked his immortal wolf to help them out.
>>738108496Nope still nothing, new save and everything in fact i got 3 different saves where I've already beaten the game 2 normal 1 shura wtf am I missing???
>>738107242There's a fucking bull over there?!?!
>>738108543lmao then I don't know what else then. Maybe try doing it in NG+.
>>738108552There's a fucking bull over there.
>>738108508It's less being apathetic and more of they all know it's a losing battle.
>>738090505I killed that shitape on my first try what doth you be on about?!
i'm gonna be honest i never understood the past stuff with the burning estateis it related to why wolf is imprisoned at the beginning of the game
>>738083540Sekiro almost smiles when he gets a shitton of zenis
>>738093176you desperately need to stop letting raging autists on /v/ dictate your view on videogamesac6 doesnt have iframe dashes, if anything AC6 is the only game in the entire armored core franchise where you might actually need to put some braincells towards dodging some of the enemy attacksNotably they nerfed balteus boss to the ground because he encouraged you to use your brain to think and dodge missiles in a 3d space instead of just sidestepping it effortlessly. If you play it, install a mod that restores him to his original level of tracking and speed
>>738108586Nah this ain't vanilla I'm not convinced fuck this
>>738108664wolf was not imprisioned at the beginning of the game, he is literally just depressed and doing nothingtl'dr>wolf loses the divin kuro during the hirata estate incident, hes trying to save him but lady butterfly and owl betray him>wolf gets depressed over it for years to the point he memory holed what happened other than that he lost kuro>emma randomly shows up and hands him over a letter saying "hey by coincidence kuro is literally right there in the tower lol">game begins>(...)>sekiro has flashback and remembers how he lost the divine heir>sekiro autistically confronts the flashback and discovers that owl also betrayed him, and kills him in a dream to get the item owl was carrying into the present because uhh buddha nigga
>>738048402He should've chosen someone else other than Sekiro to be his disposable son. Owl gets fucked in the severance routes and the ashura route by Sekiro.
>>738108664It's Owl doing.
>>738108808So kuro has been in the possession of genichiro for YEARS!?!?!? How come they haven't extracted immortality
>Sekiro Wolf, you have bested me. Now Ashina will fall. Always remember, the Japanese government is more powerful than the Divine Dragon. Always pay your taxes Sekiro...What did he mean by this?
>>738108808yea but what was the point of it? did owl and lady butterfly orchestrate/start the whole thing just to kidnap kuro? was genichiro in on it?
>>738046243qt 3.14
>>738108953Don't have the shit they need and Kuro keeps going 'no lol'.
>>7381085433 playthroughs and you still haven't started a NG+. (Go to the Dilapidated Temple idol and select "Start playthrough #2." You will receive Kuro's charm in the well and you can give it back to Kuro at Moon View Tower (he also won't give you the healing gourd because you already have it).
>>738105339I love the Genichiro fight on the roof. Before him you're sort of figuring out the game and getting better but it's in this fight that everything clicks together and you start playing the way it's meant to be played. A lot of players have felt the same and I consider it the greatest "tutorial" boss From has yet created.
>>738108970Do you think Isshin took it easy on Sekiro? There is no way... right?
>>738108972>did owl and lady butterfly orchestrate/start the whole thing just to kidnap kuro?yes>was genichiro in on it?noHow did you missed this? do you even played the game?
>>738109106Awwww so it's a completely Ng+ thing? I wanna start from scratch oh well maybe some other time
>>738109237What no? Why would you ever think that? It's literally him in his prime and he loved fighting more than anything.
>>738109286get all the ending you lazy bum.
>>738109286>Awwww so it's a completely Ng+ thing?No. If you start a NG+, you can then quit and start an actual New Game where you will also receive Kuro's Charm in the well.
Blazing Bull is a terrible encounter to have at the beginning of the game when players are still learning. wtf were they thinking
>>738108970>*record scratch, freeze frame*>Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. It all started when my crazy grandson...
>>738108656Lots of people find the first phase tricky. It's a thing.
If Isshin truly didn't want Ashina to fall why didn't he pass on the knowledge of creating automatic hand guns with unlimited ammo?
>>738109491It's just a terrible boss altogether.
>filtered by a fucking cowkek shitter
>>738109919I don't think that's what filtered means. Bosses can be bad.
I tried the Sekiro Guru's parry technique on the Blazing Bull. It didn't work out.
>>738109816Bad memory Also shina never stood a chance against those red dudes and purple ninjas
>>738044771Valid crashout. Kuro best boy
>>738108719Some of you guys get really angry at things for reasons I really don't understand. What's even the problem lol?
>>738052445Imagine being built like fucking Hagrid and say fuck it we ball I'm a shinobi wielding a big ass Odachi.I love subversion like this
Did /v/ use the item?
>>738113261I think I used it once, realized how useless it was and never bothered againreally cool that using it against Owl and dying twice let's you hear his >MITTSU
>>738113261Not yet but they should be useful in gauntlets, right?
>>738090310Lmao Demon of hatred will Rape you 10 times harder.
>>738113261>can't use it if your resurrection nodes are full
>>738091163>Omigoto>You taught me well.Kino
>>738113261no because they look comfy so I just let them be
>>738113819DOHHas easy moves (if you have the umbrella)But it's a battle of endurance
>>738113819I always cliff cheese that nigga
>>738069208I love him
>>738045004>Tokugawa cant be THAT stackedThis gaijin will singlehandedly dismantled your army
Mastering the Isshin fight is still one of my peak gaming experiences
>>738115890I feel like second phase of Isshin looks scaries than it isyou can parry and doge most of it but it looks mad scary
>>738044735ASHINA? MORE LIKE ASHITHOLE
>>738045004The CHADgunate was invading. We can see in the game when the Interior Ministry appears that Ashina's soldiers are actually very weak and you are realizing this is a land in its death throes, which is also why Genichiro is willing to go to such desperate measures to safeguard Ashina.
>still no Sekiro 2It's just simply not fair.Idgaf about Nightreign and Duskbloods
>>738056272That's how it is presented in the game, but that makes no in-universe sense, unless each location is within a 30 minute walk from Ashina castle, both the temple and the village, also ministry forces were led by Van Riper i assume because they completely overran both the oustkirts and the castle in the 1 hour window while Sekiro was away
>yfw you realized the monkey was invisible
>>738047589I love Sekiro and AC6. When DS3 came out I was worried that From was done for and had no talent left anymore but these two games riled me back in. Too bad ER was a massacre. I guess I should avoid their future Souls-games and stick to the other stuff.Just sucks that everytime I praise it some faggots comes in and claims "hurr parry spam" or some retarded shit.
>>738075120>Even the dumb comedy Elden Ring manga that comes out on Famitsu is actually well made.huh
>Tokugawa as the final boss of Sekiro 2how would you design the fight
>>738046243>that emma
>>738082284>Open-world killed that gameSo fucking true. The only time I enjoyed the game were the closed off dungeon-areas like the vulcan manor and some of the places underground. Thats when the game really does shine. But as soon as you leave them you get put back to the awfully boring open world again.
>>738117503What would it even be about? Adult Kuro in Ministry Occupied Ashina? A prequel where you play as the Sculptor?
>>738119302One of the endings is Wolf and Kuro heading west. Why not a Journey to the West-style story of crossing china?
>>738119374Wouldn’t west just be the rest of Japan? Where is Ashina anyway?
Bros I have a confession I hesitated
>>738098728>Wicked City is rape scene after rape sceneWhats up with animes of that time period being like that
>>738119459Ashina was a real clan in the Sengoku period, in what is now the Kanagawa prefecture, here. I don't know much about Japanese history or the various states, but I think Ashina is just sort of a stand-in for the late hold-outs of that period with as much cool shit jammed in there as possible.
>>738045004Ashina was build on betrayal it was always a weak fiefdom. Stop believing in Ishinn's self-hype.
>>738119604The japs were big on amphetamines in the 80's, which they also were in WWII when they were raping every woman in the pacific.
>>738108808Hold up. Kuro was stuck in the tower for years?
>>738107242Just sneak behind it and spook it with firecrackers, that'll make it run against a wall letting you finish it off without a fight
TELL ME YOUR NAME.
>>738120206Not important
WOOO
>>738120206MY NAAAAAME IS GYOUBU MASATAKA ONIWA
>>738119678I get the feeling it's not supposed to be set in historical Ashina. I mean for one thing, Mt. Fuji would be dominating the skyline in the mountains of Kanagawa. It's a made up place.
>>738109491All the Gyoubu and the minibosses are pretty standard. Blazing Bull is after them to keep you on your toes
>>738044735God I fucking love this game bros.
>>738045004tokugawa has the nioh
>>738052445Brutal.
>>738109491eavesdrop nigger, they literally tell you its weakness
what the FUCK were they thinking
>>738109491>>738123098lolGrats, anon.
>>738121930That's just Jack.That's literally Jack.
>>738092786>It'd be real shitty if I did THIS!>Emma blocks his ninja star>Well, I'm beat, you got this son
>>738046093Screw those sequel ideas. I want a prequel.Call it Sekijo. Prosthesis based abilities stay, maybe more and more customization. Rebirth mechanic gets removed, add a rage bar instead that turns Sekijo into a fire based shura. Overdriving the bar to 200% kills Sekijo. Tease us with hope. Maybe with a time travel angle that starts the game as a sequel? It has to be in a way to make us think that we can change history and then the game proceeds to crush our spirits at the end.Rate it
>>738093286THEY WERE FRENS!!!! THEY ALL WERE!!
>>738123669hmm i dont know, resurrecting is a core part of sekiro and turning into the demon of hatred? what is this Darksiders???but i do like the part where we think we can change what happens but the game crushes it in the end anyways, i like that idea7/10
>>738123669He stopped killing and started carving Buddhas after losing his arm, no?
Been a while since a Sekiro thread lasted this long, truly the best game fromslop ever concocted
>>738101423I'm still annoyed at the 'dude, the rice is centipede eggs' discourse. As if Kuro wouldn't fucking notice when he's cooking the rice ball. No, there were NOT centipedes in her vagina.
FINE. I'll replay it AGAIN.Maybe I will actually ring the bell this time.
>>738123098This fight is my one and only fear on NG+ charmless demon bell.
Hey, girl. Whatcha playing there?
>>738123098I got a better question, what the fuck were YOU thinking!? stacking these two super early
NG+7 charmless + demon bellMortal Journeysurely you've all beaten the game yeah?
>>738119459The Dragon's sword is based on a real korean sword, so west is definitely past Japan.
>>738086550>>738087414Ehh nothing the Buddhist in Sekiro do is anti-Buddhist explicitly.In fact theres an in game reason given to them trying to achieve "Buddhahood" while immortal, theyre trying to become Immortal to make it easier to achieve Buddhahood in this lifeNothing about this contradicts Buddhism, its more of a Shintoist 'criticism'The only part of what they did that Buddha would be the killing of children then lying about it to the guys who are helping them (in hopes that their children will be cured)
>>738126045Demon Bell doesn't stack the same with regular NG and Charmless, it's such a small difference compared to regular charmless that it would be stupid NOT to stack them. It's basically free better loot.
>>738045004Well, judging by the end game where the shogunate shows up and smacks the ashina clan completely, they can bring quite a lot.
>>738126651The seven-pronged sword? Ain't that japanese? Shows up in a bunch of japanese media but barely ever outside of that.
>>738128101It was a gift to Japan from Korea.
>>738128395Neato
>>738091324So then there are indeed 2, retard-kun. The boss which you fight on its own, and one from the double boss fight.
>>738096173I thought the bubonic plague was eradicated
>>738129120ozempic
>>738126742Rejecting the impermanence of this life is still a sin.
>>738052445>>738122813I liked that guys like Isshin acknowledged how big this motherfucker was, and it wasn't just gameplay contrivance that he was so much larger than Wolf.
>>738119838i think kuro happened to be sent there because genichiro went after him
>>738126045fun
