https://youtu.be/OqsJSeJ_0kUDid any of y'all get this game? It was released March 22.
I am buying it today. I'm a little worried about progress, as my summoned pals usually carried me through Dark Souls and Bloodborne...

It is HARD but the changes to the formula are all very interesting. It's souls in tone and challenge but with much more story focus.
I really like that this game has direct tutorialization because the combat is very different.
Adding a jump button and grappling hook opens up the exploration in a ton of really fun ways.
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
Definitely a From game.

I'm out.
way harder
Oh this purple guy is rough
I remembered I got a $25 voucher for whatever thru work so I think I'm gonna put that towards Sekiro: Shadows Die Probably A Whole Lot More Than Twice. Ain't got up ins a From game in a skinny minute.
I don't have time to play either but I will have them. And that's what matters.
I'm fighting a miniboss who does 90% of my health per hit. Woof.
Quick tip!
It seems like the key to reacting to thrusts/grabs/sweeps is to find the magic range/position/dodge direction that beats all of them. If you're standing still right in an enemy's face, dodging left and right, you'll be wrecked by tracking if you don't do it perfectly.
I assume there are already no item speedruns where the controller is manipulated with the runners buttcheeks
Does it count if I keep dying to the same enemy before I get a chance to dodge or heal and never get to equip or upgrade anything
I definitely lost all my money due to dying in that fight
Only if you finish the game that way!
I very nearly beat the Ogre without having gone to the Estate and
I love having a jump button and grappling hook! And it does feel like an homage to Tenchu, in a really good way. Deflecting feels so great.
Get them money bags!

So you may have actually sped up the process by not reviving.
It's good for some attacks, but not others. Sweep moves or ones with good horizontal tracking will beat it out. Hold a direction when you press B and the step dodge will come out, or directionless to dodge backward.
You should be deflecting combos, because each deflected attack damages their posture considerably, and they're basically killing themselves.
That's sort of a win
EDIT: Unrelated to the previous thing, welp found Sekiro's "dragon on a bridge"
and guess who used a snap seed while switching items? This guy
e: okay I can't remember the last time I was so angry because of a video game
But
game
come on, don't patronise me:
It looks so cool though
Success.
Yeah I mean all you gotta do is git gud!
But, remember the first time you played a souls game? It took a long time to adapt to how to play that game.
So now you have 10 or so years of Souls games deep in your muscle memory. You try to play this game like a souls game, you’re gonna have a bad time. Worse yet, you have to unlearn al those years of souls games.
But once you’ve done that, things gets much easier.
Hobnail that is like the fifth time you made that joke
It's fun to be at the early days of the release, when you can get to a Land Beyond Guides, where nobody's mapped out the secrets or anything. If I stumble into a hidden passage, or find a hidden boss, it feels extra special. Even if/when said hidden boss crushes my ass into a fine paste.
Also, I think Sekiro might be a bad dude! A lot of the dudes I'm killing seem to be just... Dudes.
One boss spoiler:
