Hello thread! I see that y'all kept the place nice and Embered  . Good job on keeping spoilers under control. welp,  10 days to go! As people start to get their hands on the game just let me know if there's any VITAL INFO that needs to go in the OP, or PM me if there are any problems I miss. Otherwise I'll mainly just be in the wilderness like everyone else, trying to make sense of the madness of Hidetaka Miyazaki.

I have accepted that as a loadout-based mobile character action game by FROM set in magical old Japan, this is basically as close as we're gonna get to another sequel to Otogi: Myth of Demons. I'm pretty stoked.

Anyone see a PC pricepoint better than the 8% off on GMG? I'm wanting to pre-order and hopefully pre-load, but was holding out to see if anybody got it cheaper just shy of release...

GMG had a window of time where it was like 10% off or something.

Solaire showing up out of the blue would be more entertaining than annoying, if only to lend more credence to the whole "timelines are really hosed right now, so we're phasing in and out of places"

Fun fact: when I was a dumb kid I thought my favorite games were first party games. King's field and armored core. I didn't grasp the difference between publisher and developer.

Someone please warn us if the game gets into the wild early, it would be annoying to be spoiled on it a week before release.

deep dish peat moss posted:Okay here's the thing about difficulty in the Souls series: you can either play these games relying on shields or not. If you rely on blocking with big shields then all 3 games are actually hilariously easy because across the entire series there are maybe a grand total of 5 or 6 enemy attacks that can hurt you. If you choose not to use shields, - get this - they're still the easiest Character Action games on the market. Me: My tastes in videogames differ from yours. You, an intellectual: Actually that makes you literally subhuman. In my experience, of the six people that i know that don't like soulsborne games, one was turned off by the rear end-tastic port of ds1 on pc felt that the problem was the git gud meme and people like you.

The local independent game shop that will forever not give a gently caress about breaking release dates posted a teaser a few days ago that they'll basically have it for sale this weekend/early next week. Tread lightly!

The perception of difficulty in Dark Souls comes way less from enemies, bosses, and combat, and way more from the unforgiving exploration and “whoops, you’re dead” snake temple bullshit death traps. Also Dark Souls is a lot of things, but character action games (Bayonetta, DMC, MGR:R) are not one of them. These games are glacially paces. Even Bloodborne, the fastest one, it frozen molasses compared to Metal Gear Rising.

i'm glad the "twist" in bloodborne wasn't spoiled for me. it was pretty great seeing weird alien statues leading up to amelia and thinking what the gently caress is going on.

The Dark Souls games also get faster and faster each iteration. I'm worried my old man joints aren't going to be able to keep up with ziplines and parries anymore. Nioh tests my patience more than my fingers with how fast enemies swipe, so I'm hoping From went a different direction.

When I saw that I thought the game had poor art direction, that they were just putting creepy statues in seemingly nonsensical places. Boy howdy was I wrong.

Has there been any talk of how this will run on the original PS4? I don't want to pick up a pro just for Sekiro with the PS5 likely on the way.

It's reported to run an average ~45fps on Pro, so on the base PS4 I wouldn't expect more than 30fps..... hopefully it will be a locked 30 and not dip, but nobody knows yet.

Not sure if the PC requirements suggest anything about how it will work on consoles, although PCs and consoles are more and more built the same, but the PC reqs for Sekiro are virtually identical to the PC reqs for Dark Souls 3. So however DS3 runs on a base level PS4, I'd expect Sekiro to run about the same. If DS3 was jank on the old PS4, Sekiro is gonna be jank.

Got some steambux for my birthday from a friend, suddenly this game I am pumped about but thought I’d only be able to afford in like a year is affordable, so I finally watched the trailers which I’ve been avoiding so I wouldn’t get too sad about missing out, and drat. It kind of reminds me more of Nioh than Dark Souls, and I’m gonna echo other posters and express a fear that without multiplayer summons I’ll never be able to beat it cus i 100% needed summons for a few bosses in DS3/DS/Nioh I’m also really curious about the vertical mobility and how useful / common it will be or if it’s just gonna be a limited traversal thing in some areas. I really hope you can gently caress around with it and there aren’t like predetermined hook points It also looks like the parry system isn’t just partying, but also like rapid fire magic multi parry abilities for use against fast or multiple enemies? And alternatives like turning into birds and a shadow or whatever? Speaking as a mid roll sword and shield player who only beat DS/DS3 once with two handed swords I hope there’s room for my shittiness with parries, I had a really hard time with parrying and pulsing in Nioh and never finished it

Videos make it look like a reticle will auto-lock to the nearest grapple point. Lots of emphasis on parrying, haven't seen a single shield (on the player character) in any videos. Wouldn't count on them being equipped in the game. No one can say just how precise the timing will necessitate, but I'm expecting it to be pretty similar to Nioh, perhaps a bit more lenient (judging Team Ninja vs. Fromsoftware history of timing in their games.)

There does seem to be some sort of shield in the form of something that looks like a fan or parasol that folds out. It comes out of the left hand so I assume it's a prosthetic tool this thing and yeah, how it plays on a PS4 Slim is the only thing keeping me from pre-ordering. I never had any problems with Bloodborne but I got into it after a couple patches. I assume the Dark Souls trilogy on PS4 runs fine? I'm def getting into that after Sekiro

I never had a single issue with it and I’m quick to notice a poo poo framerate and related issues. The only problem I ever had with the technical side was the loading times at launch. Those were atrocious and pretty unacceptable for a game like Bloodborne. e: not saying your experience is invalid or anything btw I just never noticed the issues at all I’m assuming that Sekiro will run just as good or slightly better and that’s good enough for me.

From day 1 it looked off to me, I'd call it "jittery", and I would later learn that it's because there is something called frame pacing and apparently it's all hosed up for BB. This is on top of the moments of regular slowdown. Your eyes have yet to open

The only time I noticed anything wrong in BB was once I killed TOR and it randomly dropped to like 5 fps which was obviously just a glitch

There was a long period of time where all I was playing was Bloodborne and The Last of Us. Bloodborne looked fine until I switched to TLOU's smooth 60fps and then I was like, oh my god my eyes can breathe. It was like finally removing contacts that you forgot you had left in the night before.
