Now, that DID make it too hard, but the game by default is too easy and only feels proper with no Kuro's charm

Clueless + Retarded + low IQ + Skill issue.

You never learned to play Sekiro if you think it is a deflect game. Deflect is only one of the defensive options at your disposable. Demon of Hatred forces the player to use everything, it is the best designed boss in Sekiro, but Inner Father and Inner Isshin are just more kino so I rate them higher.

>>738847193
Actually it was very friendly and using a very large number of parry frames. It also communicates posture differences, and special attacks with a diegetic display easy to assimilate ( movements/inertia, symbols, sounds ).
ALL the game aping sekiro failed to do any of this so it's all die and retry until you learn the parry windows by heart. You don't do anything naturally. It's a disgrace. A big fat shame. The parryslop genre is full of shit.
>>
>>738853704
>but it feels so out of place compared to the other bosses in the game
Because you never mastered Sekiro combat. Only people who understood 90% of the Sekiro combat say what you just said. There was 1 last step which you didn't understand, that is why you came to this conclusion. That missing last step is exactly the defensive option that is very effective vs the Demon of Hatred and that boss fight is designed around it and punishes those who do not use it.

>>738854038
Yeah, it's the uninstall wizard. Defeats 100% of video game bosses.

>>738854140
>Yeah, it's the uninstall wizard.
Nope. It is something you have access to right away when you start the game. Observe the Demon of Hatred, what does he do during the boss fight? Is it something you can do too? Yes. Now, apply it.

>>738854286
No. It is sprinting. Sekiro doesn't have a stamina bar for a reason. Sprinting has become a primary defensive tool in Sekiro and is necessary vs the Demon of Hatred. Try applying sprinting vs that boss, this is the last missing element that the majority of Sekiro players fail to understand and therefore never master the Sekiro combat system.

point is from soft always does this, they make a boss that ignores a core part of the mechanic forcing you to play differently


Chained ogre
>Mostly grabs
>Player is taught that dodging is still perfectly viable defense
>Posture bar doesn't move because of mostly using grab attacks instead of normal deflectable attacks
>Player is taught to whittle down hp instead of focusing the posture bar

Armoured warrior

>Player figures out you gotta knock him off the bridge
>How? By executing a deathblow near the edge
>Now the player can bring the posture near deathblow
>remember his posture doesn't regen anyways so lure him to the edge then finish off the posture bar

This is why Sekiro is so fucking good

>>738854436
Yeah, sprinting and jumping. I usually don't even deflect once the entire fight when killing him. Just have to know when to run in, run out, and jump.
>>
>>738854436
I thought it was candies because he's doing a little pose like when I eat candies.
Anyway the bull and monkeys already teach you that if you have infinite sprint it's to abuse it.

Mikiri counter and Lightning Reversal Technique are the two of the most badass things FromSoftware has ever made for melee combat. They gave me the same feeling I felt when I first encountered Flying Swallow and Izuna Drop in Ninja Gaiden.

You can tell this game is well-designed and fair because I don't think I died more than three times at any given boss after gitting gud for Lady Butterfly, besides that dogshit Demon of Hatred boss and the awful Monke Gang and motherfucking Owl but that's mostly because his moveset is built mostly around fucking with your patterns.

To me Elden Ring was more difficult than Sekiro (and less enjoyable) so much so that I was no longer interested in the games DLC or Elden Ring as a franchise
>>
>>738857292
True, in a way.
Once you've gotten used to the flow of combat in Sekiro, you're unstoppable.
ER has so much bs and random gangbang fights that mechanics and skill goes out the window
>>
>>738857292
>To me Elden Ring was more difficult than Sekiro
HOW?

Elden DOGSHIT Ring is the easiest Souls game I have ever played. So many tools to completely cheese and trivialize 99% of the game.
>>
Everyone rightfully jerks off the gameplay, but I also really like Sekiro because the story isn't some nebulous fucking nonsense and it actually has characters speak in a forthright manner. Kuro making rice balls and the Divine Child giggling when you ask for Rice carries more fucking weigh to it than 99% of the retarded lore the other games have.

The game places an NPC right in front of the arena practically telling you to go back in time and for chump change outright tells you you can get a flame cannon. Why are you more retarded than a 17 year old me who figured this shit out all by himself?

I stand by the belief that Sekiro is the greatest action game ever made. I will not elaborate further.

It's not that hard but it doesn't really teach players to understand the rhythm of the game
You can't mash, every single R1 needs to be intentional. You R1, then see how the enemy reacted. If they got hit or they blocked you R1 again, if they parried then it's their turn and you need to be ready to parry back.

The parry window is fucking massive, something like half a second. It gets smaller if you mash the parry. As long as you don't mash you'll be fine.

>>
>>738847193
it feels like it at first. but you take breaks, you come back, you slam into the wall a bunch. eventually you'll notice you're getting better and better. the game will also get harder to match but the easier enemies are no longer a challenge. keep with it and you'll win eventually. it's rewarding.
it's a fun rhythm game once you learn to stay aggressive and parry to the correct timing.
HESITATION IS DEFEAT

>>738851041
bravo nolan
>>
>>738854445
Yes. There is no shame in using the tools the game gives you to beat it. It shows you no mercy, no reason not to respond in kind.
>>
>>738859413
all correct. you can still spam the parry button if you're not familiar with a new attack's timing, but the window gets worse and worse as you spam so best not to do this longer than necessary. ideally just parry it properly once you can recognize the attack and when it will hit you

Nta, but the game feels like it throws more stupid bullshit at you than Sekiro does which makes it feel harder. But at the same time, it's much easier to cheese Elden Ring, so it kind of balances out in a weird way.
>>
>>738859413
Sekiro basic attacks are way easier to throw out than like the Dark Souls equivalent because you can cancel them into a block. It seems they want you to attack a lot, for the obvious damage and also to fill the enemy's posture meter.
>>
>>738847193

Or simply just jump over his grabs despite the tutorial screen telling you to dodge them.

>>738859873
I used to hate them too because of the Fear mechanic but recommend hopping into a fight with one and practicing the parry timing over and over even if you die. it kinda sucks you gotta farm Divine Confetti for them but ye not so bad after popping one of those

>owl showing you his back is way out of character.
It is very in character, the most effective betrayal comes when you least expect it. Owl thought he had won everything, and he wasn't wrong, he had won everything, Sekiro had sided with him... but Sekiro was no longer there, only SHURA (SHURA took over after Sekiro kills Emma and looks at the horizon and smiles). That is why Owls eye burst with terror and shock when he realizes what has happened. The last time Owl saw Sekiro, it was Sekiro. When he comes back with the severed head of Genichiro, he sees Sekiro and has no reason to think that the Sekiro standing there isn't Sekiro anymore. It is beautiful and subtle story telling that the Japanese produce, a non-Japanese story teller would never be able to produce something like this and the vast majority of westerners or those who are accustomed to western story telling (like you) will never be able to pick up on this nuance.

You don't need it, but it does trivialize those fights. You can pull it out and it absorbs fear attacks like that Shaman guy that throws the purple skull projectiles at you, then you unleash a strong attack back that hits hard depending on how much you absorbed. not necessary but makes the fights cake if you're struggling to parry or don't have the purple gourd

this is what makes From games interesting imo, that everyone has different bosses and games they find easier or harder. people have different playstyles and sometimes their works can counter you or else it might be an easy fight. in DS3 my friend struggles with Nameless King & Slaveknight Gael which I found a lot easier than Soul of Cinder which he thought was really easy. Sekiro rewards aggressive gameplay and a sense of timing, but I've seen others struggle bad with it

>>738861319

What it comes down to is this:
Fromsoft games are not mechanically difficult, they are obtuse.
The challenge in a Fromsoft game isn't executing the correct plan, it's figuring out what the correct plan is.

If you were to put the invincible/parry windows of a Fromsoft game into any traditional action game that game would be absolutely fucking trivial because the length of all of your defensive options would be triple or quadruple what those games normally give you.

yep agreed. the actual moves you do are really easy, but figuring out when and how to use them is indeed the million dollar question. learning to recognize the difference in a mikiri and a sweep attack while fighting Sword Saint Isshin is the whole challenge, pressing B once isn't exactly hard

No, you are braindead and triggered that I exposed your inferior IQ and lack of understanding of the story.

Sekiro sided with Owl in total submission.

Sekiro didn't kill Sword Saint, he killed Isshin who was sick and half dead. You do not fight Sword Saint Isshin in the Shura ending, only in the other endings. You have no idea what you are talking about, just another retard full of pride and ego, I gave you a very insightful explenation, instead of learning from it and improving, you took offense from it and replied like an ungrateful rabid dog.

This is why God hates pride, from pride comes ego and everything that is shitty in this world.

The only people that have a problem with Sekiro are the ones who never bothered to learn and test the mechanics. I guarantee you they never trained with the undead soldier at camp to master the basics.

I was one of them, I hit a roadblock with Genichiro, then I went back and learned the basics and the game clicked and I started having a blast.
Sekiro has one of the most satisfying gameplay ever.

I suppose that could change with instakills but it always felt like you were either always playing catchup getting instant punished for healing or you were just absolutely whooping ass on the boss

I did lady before gyobo, she was fun, but I saved genichiro for last. beating the corrupt monk illusion at attack power 3 was very hard for me, I perfected all of her moves eventually. shirahagi was also extremely annoying because there was very little space for errors. genichiro took me some tries, I could bruteforce it to phase 3 but didn't. I only used one healing during the first 2 phases, phase 3 is easy when you master the jump-attack counter for lightning. I can't beat his version in the memory thou, one mistake and he destroys me, hits like a truck, and I think he's much more aggressive with grabs, super combo and shooting arrows. I think I'll beat his memory version eventually, it's fantastic for training.

>>738847193
Dodge for beast type enemies, parry for human type enemies. Learn the difference between an enemy guarding your attacks and the enemy parrying you. Keep attacking even when the enemy is guarding but when you get parried, you parry their next attack and then go back to attack spamming. Follow this advice and the game will "click" for you.

>on charmless, the flame umbrella no longer blocks his flame
I get you should still take chip damage from a poor block on charmless--thats what it's all about. But never understand why the demon of hatred had this effect to where even on a perfect block with the flame umbrella, you still take flame damage against him. It only manifests as a problem against him, as well, and no other enemy. Basically on normal mode, flame umbrella is clutch as fuck against the demon of hatred while on charmless its 100% pointless and waste of emblems.

Still a good fight, though.

You can also parry the bull as well. The sakura bull near the end of the game, you can sneak up on him from behind and throw firecrackers which scares him into hitting a wall and immediately exposing himself to a killing blow. In the current Steam build last I check this was kind of glitchy to where the bull freeze mid-animation but there's a way to force him past that.
>>
>>738869489
the trick is to press counter when you see the glint of his sword, but it's so freaking fast you must have a great response time. what I did instead was I held the counter button, and when I saw a glint, I double-tapped it fast, and it worked, half of his posture was gone. repeat a few times and he's dead.

>>738869340
for bull I just stood at the center of the arena and let him come to me, you just have to learn deflect timing, you can then punish him with double ichimonji. using firecrackers is actually a much harder strategy imo because he will punish you eventually.

To the left of where you start, there is a tower that you can climb onto, and from there to the wall. Walk along the wall near the edge of the precipice, and the boss will fall off. Much faster than fighting it the intended way.
There's always a phantom nearby showing exactly where to jump from.

I wish you could equip more than one combat art at a time. Forward R1+L1, netual R1+L1, and a backwards R1+L1. The biggest issue is that when you take the time to learn the combat arts, you realize that there are actually a lot of good ones that extend the gameplay in fun ways, but you're only limited to one at a time, and so you find yourself often pausing just to swap out combat arts quite often (or you just don't change the combat art and stop engaging with the system because you get sick of having to swap them out)
>>
>>738869923
>I have never successfully countered his lightning in his third phase but I just manage to beat him anyway
the thing with this move is that you just have to observe him and time your jump accordingly. it's very, very easy to pull off (compared to reading mikiri swipes/thrusts) and they give you A LOT of time to press the attack button, you are basically invincible the whole time you're in the air. you will only get punished if you panic and jump too early and encounter the lightning while on the ground.
>It's much better if you leave her for later
I used hirata memory to somewhat master the game mechanics. lady is very fun and her combos are easy to deflect and learn. even the illusion attack on phase 2 is easy to counter if you use the environment correctly. purple samurai in the bamboo area was much harder to beat at that stage.
>>
>>738870941
you basically jump, hold parry and then attack before hitting the ground right? Haven't played in a while
>>
>>738870941
>>738869923
Use neutral mist raven into it's air attack, it's the perfect for lightning reversal. On new game + when you learn sakura dance, that is also perfect for lightning reversal and only costs 1 emblem.
>>
>>738870912
Being able to equip more combat arts is a good improvement that FromSoftware should implement in Sekiro 2.
>>
>>738870769
That would work into my first fix which would be to always spawn with a set amount of emblems, like 1/4 or 1/5th of your max
And your running into the problem where if that strategy works, people who know it aren't going to run out of spirit emblems because the fight is easier, so it turns into winmore again

Yeah you don't have to time it but if you do it comes out quicker I think, I think some damage goes through either way like with most elemental attacks, I've never had any trouble pulling it off and it makes their third phases basically freebies because you can just wait for it, even the Inner version just makes you do it twice

>>738872352
Flame vent + living force + floating passage is probably one of the most damaging combos in the whole game for just 3 emblems. You can buff with candy, as well. And if you want to just burn some emblems, go into spiral cloud passage instead of floating passage (which is free).
>>
>>738872736

Imagine being such a fucking lobotomite that you need 144fps to beat a Chained Ogre. It's not 'artificial difficulty,' you just have the reaction time of a fucking tectonic plate.

>>
>>738872827
The flame version costs too much emblems, but the 2 emblem is a safe way to make a boss trade their health for a combo which then opens them up to posture build up. It's great for charmless when there's that one enemy combo you can't perfect parry 100% so for only 2 emblems you get a decent hit on them while not taking damage yourself. Outside of that, it's also the best way to do a lightning reversal before sakura dance.
>>
>>738872827
My brother in Christ it's the single most OP tool in the entire game. Nothing can beat getting behind of a boss, it guarantees 2 hits if not more. Shit's a GODSEND in Charmless runs to the point where I have to stop using it to have fun.
>>
>>738872352
I felt all the tools were pointless, especially since they consume resources. I beat it all through parrying and occasional sword attacks.

It is not random, it is very logical. Sekiro and Elden DOGSHIT Ring are the polar opposite design philosophies of FromSoftware.

The facts are no lock on, shitty camera, enemy spam with no iframes etc. This is not crying.
Keep coping and seething for everyone to see.

I've never had good dexterity (comes with autism). But I'm reading my time is not super slow for a completionist playthrough, and I did a completionist run.

If you can complete a Sekiro 100% run in 30 hours, you actually are quite an elite gamer.

>>738871175
I finished the game on base PS4 without problems. Second time I did Inner Genichiro several times on Steam Deck. You are the problem.

>>738875952
>I've never had good dexterity (comes with autism).
Literally me. Sekiro was far and away the hardest fromsoft game for me because it's so fucking fast. I do alright with hard-ass games if there's patterns I can memorize and exploit, like Megaman or Binding of Isaac.
Still beat Sekiro because it's fun as hell, took me longer than most but I did it.

thats not the issue, its too linear in its approaches, very boring on replay if it werent for the neat atmosphere and characters. stealth also just sucks ass

HK: Silksong was worse than Sekiro for me. I almost wanted to rage quit, but I did beat Act 3, and even did the Passing of the Age achievement (Jesus fucking Christ, I feel that was worse than the Path of Pain). Took me like 110 hours beat it.

But now I feel like I can do anything, if only I don't quit. Quite a transformative game.

>Go back to school, ignoramus.
School doesn't improve your IQ, it is mostly genetic.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority
Being qualified doesn't mean you have authority. Those who have authority aren't always qualified. You are low IQ.
>Logically impossible.
Logically very possible and the case with you: You suck at action games, that is why you avoid playing them. Instead you randomly start complaining about them.
>I listed the most notable designs flaws
No, you didn't. That is not a design flaw, you just suck ass at the game.

>The facts are no lock on
Good. Lock on is not needed.
>shitty camera
No such a thing. Camera control is a gameplay skill, you suck ass at it.
>enemy spam with no iframes etc.
The game gives you tools to deal with multiple enemies. Skill issue + IQ issue.
>This is not crying.
It is. You suck ass.
>>
>>738876326
Oh absolutely, that game was cock and ball torture. Sekiro only ever really had me "stuck" on Blazing Bull, Genichiro, Guardian Ape, Owl, and Isshin.
Silksong? I swear that was about every other boss. Moorwing filtered me. Widow filtered me. Carmelita filtered me. Last Judge filtered me. Coral Tower filtered me. High Halls gauntlet filtered me. The Pinmaster filtered me. Lace 2 filtered me. Seth filtered me. Groal filtered me. The final boss filtered me. Still beat it, but sheesh. I think that's about my difficulty limit for vidya.

It's probably the easiest of them all other than maybe Dark Souls 1 because everything moves in slow motion. You're not playing it properly, parry literally everything.

but sekiro is way easier than Elden Ring. Malenia alone solos that entire game’s difficulty

>>738878373
Malenia and Demon of hatred were in the wrong games. It's funny, they would've been significantly easier swapped around into the other game.
>>
>>738878373
If Elden Ring had a deflect button, Malenia would die like the rest.

Delusional Elden DOGSHIT Ring subhuman, Malenia is piss easy with all the cheese and overpowered tools you have in Elden DOGSHIT Ring.

They're mostly talking about Shadows of the Erdtree. It's the first Fromsoftware DLC to come out and actually REDUCE people's opinion of the game overall. Also it's been long enough that people are starting to talk about Elden Ring's actual problems now that people are going back and replaying older Souls games.

You can absolutely parry the DoH to death, you just need the umbrella to avoid chip damage from a couple of attacks.

Shadow of Nerdtree made Elden DOGSHIT Ring even EASIER with all the busted weapons they added.

Elden DOGSHIT Ring is the EASIEST Souls game by FAR.

fuck i should play sekiro again, i dont remember much about the routes

What is that picture supposed to prove? You can get all achievements in a game and still delude yourself into thinking you enjoy it. The human mind is a peculier thing.

You are lying to yourself, you either love Sekiro or Elden DOGSHIT Ring, you can't love both, if you love one, you have to hate the other.

I started with DeS and have played every Soulslike, and bought this game recently on recommendation from a friend. I got filtered hard. I've only fought two bosses and then quit.
The difficult somewhat factors into me dropping it, but it's more so that the game honestly just doesn't feel that fun on top of the difficulty. Like I don't want to dedicate time to figuring out how to get good. The theme, setting, story, etc., are also just boring as all fuck and not really interesting. All the Dragon curse shit feels like classic fromsoft low inspiration fantasy garbage, which just doesn't work at all in the frame of the game.

The combat feels very janky, like you're mostly just mashing parry and dodging constantly, then spam swinging to posture break a mob and execute. It's hard, yeah, but doesn't really feel as rewarding or interesting as Bloodborne for example. It also really feels like it embodies the "hard for the sake of being hard" rabbithole Fromsoft drove themselves into. They drank too much of their own koolaid with this one. Fighting multiple mobs at once feels really fucking tedious too.
Every boss enemy with the execution health feels really stupid to fight. You just sit there waiting for them to swing so you can try to perfect parry 15 times in a row and then hit them once. Also the stealth sucks ass, like you're supposed to be a Shinobi but are just blatantly running around with a katana fighting ten dudes at once.

Maybe I would've liked this a lot more if I played it on release or something, but playing it today literally just makes me want to go play ghost of tsushima instead for a more interesting sengoku jidai shinobi/samurai experience

Trying too hard, make your bait less obvious so it can be more believable like it used to be.
>>
>>738880170
eh, well I did the optional Mortal Journey and have played through each game multiple times and bought 4 or 5 copies of each for friends but who knows, i'm just an anon. there's no way to prove anything
>>
>>738880243
>I started with DeS and have played every Soulslike
1. Demon's Souls is not a "Souls-like". FromSoftware doesn't make "Souls-like" games, they make Souls games. Only other developers (parasites) can make "Souls-like" games, they are wannabes, their games are like FromSoftware Souls games, but will never be as good as FromSoftware Souls games, therefore the birth of the term "Souls-like".
2. All "Souls-like" games are garbage.
>>
>>738880272
>Trying too hard, make your bait less obvious so it can be more believable like it used to be.
You are fucking retarded. I am dead serious. You retards truly suck at playing games huh?
>>
>>738878943
Burn buildup and chip damage even on perfect parries doesn't belong in Sekiro.
>>
>>738880340
So you love Sekiro and hate Elden DOGSHIT Ring? Sounds good to me, I respect you.
>>
>>738852898
The demon of hatred sucks dick what a shit boss
The only boss in the game that actually annoyed me and I died to butterfly like 100 times
>>
>>738880536
>Burn buildup and chip damage even on perfect parries doesn't belong in Sekiro.
Luckily, deflecting is only one of the defensive tools available to you in the Sekiro combat. Perhaps the game is trying to communicate something? :)))
>>
>>738880569
sure sure, have a nice day friend. hopefully next guy takes the bait
>>
>>738880456
maybe you shouldve considered when i said souls-like, i was referring to the souls-like genre, which is widely accepted to be both game in and out of the souls franchise that function on the same third person action rpg system with similar mechanics
>>
>>738880605
>The demon of hatred sucks dick what a shit boss
Demon of Hatred is the best designed boss in Sekiro and forced the player to use every single defensive tool properly, if you don't, you get punished. The only ones who suck dick are you, you low IQ subhuman son of a whore, and your whore mother who should be raped and tortured to death for not aborting you when she had the chance.

I am sick and tired of you retards and your entitlement. Always blaming the game, instead of reflecting and realizing that you suck and you don't understand every aspect of the combat system yet.
>>
>>738880745
You are welcome my friend. I am glad that you realized the reality of your situation. Glad I could help.
>>
>>738880765
No. There is the Souls genre (actual good games made by FromSoftware). and there is the Souls-like genre (all of it are garbage game made by parasites trying to copy FromSoftware). Know the difference.
>>
>>738880828
>every single defensive tool properly
The only defensive tool you need for the Demon is the umbrella
>>
>>738880828
If you stopped sucking it's dick you would stop being such a flaming faggot
>>
>>738881063
>The only defensive tool you need for the Demon is the umbrella
That is an optional tool. I am talking about your core defensive tools.

He drops Lapis Lazuli when you kill him, the cool purple fire tool is NOT optional
>>
>>738847193
it's worth it tho
>>
>>738879767
you can parry him but it’s one of those fights where you're incentivized to stay on the offensive and dodge instead. Its frustrating but once you get the fire umbrella he is easy
>>
>>738883338
yep, the big jump slam attack is a freebie with the fire umbrella
>>
>>738883182
>He drops Lapis Lazuli when you kill him, the cool purple fire tool is NOT optional
You can get Lapis Lazuli from other sources too, but yeah, if you want all achievements ASAP then you should defeat him.

Charmless demon bell is no joke. The bosses are all one-shotting me. Help.
