Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

I don't dig it either. Paid full price for the game based on the overwhelmingly positive response here. Spent hours getting destroyed by the third boss. Bitch would one-shot me and then it took like 30 minutes just to get back to her. Fuck that noise. I'll probably never boot the game up again. Some of y'all are either epic gamers or extreme masochists.

You missed a shrine, git gud!

Magic and Daggers were great in DS2. Meh in 3. Inb4 some vid but thats my experience (fire snake for instance huge difference)

Only real problem with 2 was the blood arena and how many fuckin cheaters there were.

In the path leading down to the open area with the little side path that leads up to the boss, there is a ledge there you can drop down to. One of those enemies that spawn from the cloud is there, kill that and you see a shrine right behind it. The run to her is 30 seconds from that, not 30 minutes. There is no boss in Nioh that is further than 1 minute from a shrine either from a new shrine or a shortcut to an old one. Also stack paralysis resist, but mainly if you switch to middle to low stance in basically any weapon on her, you can skip around any time she flies up into the air. I had a really hard time with her using an axe, but she was trivial with swords. Just chain dashing around and hitting her every now and then. Takes longer since you do less damage, but she has a real hard time hitting you and has a very repetitive moveset.

Up in air, shoots at you, dodge around in a circle. She flies down and misses, dodge into her, hit twice. Dodge back. She starts doing her spin kicks, dodge back 3-4x, dodge in hit twice, dodge back. Do that twice and she'll probably fly up again. Rinse repeat.

Not done the higher difficulties, but I found Nioh much easier than Dark Souls. Example, the K... something weapon that you spin trivializes any humanoid mob with its Scorpion get over here move. You can take on any level summon with it just using that move, hitting and dodging back and doing the move again once they stand up. Also works for most of the challenges since they usually have human enemies.

I never got the hate for DS2. I really enjoyed DS2 sofs edition. I didn't play the original release.

Never finished DS2, but it was chock full of "fuck you" moments where you die from some sort of ambush/trap that you can't possibly know about. Felt like a cheap way to make the game seem harder.

I have it DS3-> DS1=Demons Souls->Bloodborne->DS2. Bloodborne's lack of versatility/replayability hurt it in my rankings. You can go through the souls game with/without a shield, magic user, Pyro, Str build, dex build, numerous gimmick builds, etc. and it's like playing a completely different game. Bloodborne's roll only and mostly just comes down to str vs skill.

PC?

I can't decide on what system to buy it for.

The second Abhorrent beast you fight down in the Chalice dungeons (the fight in the smaller arena) was the end of BB for me, just could not get a handle on that mofo.

PS4, not even PS4 pro. I might get it for PC too, but I feel like this is a couch game.

That's what I've been leaning towards as well for that exact reason, also the Pro has been collecting dust since I beat GoW.
