The final boss of the game is yourself, who you travel back in time to kill before he unknowingly transmits the FOXDIE virus throughout the land.

What exactly is going to be new for the gameplay embargo? Is an official gameplay reveal of some stuff we haven’t seen or what?Frog Act posted:I never played Bloodborne and still haven’t had the mid game twist explicitly spoiled for me and I’ve built up quite an imaginary version of it from this kind of stuff That’s awesome. I was spoiled on every boss and really everything about Bloodborne before playing. You really have to give it a try sometime! enojy posted:Casting my vote now: futuristic samurai robot vampire

There's a hard counter to almost every boss or enemy in a souls game though. Like, you can stunlock brainsuckers to death with a level 6 torch in upper cathedral ward.

Did you read my spoiler post up there from a GI interview with Miyazaki? It seems to imply that there’s definitely some sort of crazy poo poo going to go down that we aren’t expecting. Who knows though really.

I knew almost everything about Bloodborne before playing. I’ve bounced off the Souls games a ton of times and know most of the bosses etc. this game I’m going in fresh! I’ve been watching a lot of videos about the game but there’s no way FROM is going to spoil stuff that they know will be an amazing reveal. Well okay spoiling the (boss spoiler shown in some early footage) huge monkey boss sucked because I love primates and would’ve lost my poo poo at it but eh no big deal. It will still be awesome seeing that in my own playthrough. thebardyspoon posted:Probably a new area/visually cool thing, some new mechanic or weapon thing that's eye catching or like a deep dive into the three different skill trees and styles with some gameplay of each? 9 am can’t come soon enough

I can’t imagine that FROM is going to take all the lessons they’ve learned from a decade of making incredible games, with their entire A-team assembled , and then beef it super hard. Sekiro also suffers because of the fractured fan base. If the story isn’t exclusively relegated to item descriptions, lore nerds will complain If the combat is too easy to learn/too difficult to master people will complain that the old games were better because combat was easier/harder If even one boss demands that you have the proper reflexes required to parry, then millions of people will flood YouTube with tears over how they can’t fat roll/Zweihander through every fight. I know this makes me a bad person but somewhere out there is someone who thinks they are good at Souls games who will not be able to do anything because they spent the series brute forcing lovely builds and don’t know how to parry and that... ugh, Jesus it gives me life.

Gameplay reveal trailer is up, didn't seem too spoilery. May have shown a glimpse of an unknown boss or two, but there was no UI, so I don't even know if those were bosses. Biggest possible spoiler has to do with upgrading the prosthetic arm, and I'd hardly consider it a spoiler. Overall very good little hype piece! Really just goes over what everyone knows so far -- brief intro on who you are and what you're doing in the story, you can grapple hook, you can use stealth, parrying, guard breaking, you can resurrect at a cost etc. So if you really don't want to see any footage of the game, skip it. enojy fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Mar 18, 2019 |

I hope this game is hard as gently caress. All the vision makes it look like you're going to have to actually fight enemies and they are going to fight you. I'm so pumped. If this can deliver a stealth, lightning timing and patient sword fighting experience on par with DMC5s maniac action fare I'll be set for tier one gaming for the rest of the year.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengance is a character action brawler made by the Bayonetta guys and the core mechanic is parrying your enemy’s attacks with your sword. Every enemy in the game can be parried, and if you perfect parry them then you get to cut them in half and rip their spines out and drink their vital fluids. Did I mention you’re a cyborg ninja?

It doesn't make you a bad person, it makes you a bit of a jerk though. Why is anything other than parrying a lovely build in those other games? Why does somebody thinking they're good at those games because they played it a different way to you give you a sense of superiority, seems pretty wanky to me? The only enemy I ever parried in Bloodborne was the brick troll guys, rest of the game was eminently doable without ever bothering.

Just remember, people like this also think DEX builds are for noobs. Since you’re using a katana in Sekiro, everybody will have a DEX build now. We will all have bad builds in the eyes of *sniffs own fart* the Right Way to Play Souls.

Gumbel2Gumbel posted:Lol no it doesn't. Parrying only works for human shaped enemies. This is, uh, not true. You can’t parry dogs or crows because the guns just knock them down, The only bosses in the game you can’t parry or break are Ebriatas, Rom, Mergo’s WN, and Amy. I’m struggling to come up with a regular enemy you can’t parry. I guess I’ve honestly never tried to parry a giant boar because the backstab is so easy. I also only feel this way about Bloodborne. Dark Souls combat in 1/2/3 isn’t really that fun no matter how you play it so do whatever. I have opinion on Dex builds because it sounds like you just move fast and attack fast? Parrying in Dark Souls isn’t as fun or rewarding as it is in Bloodborne and BB really goes out of its way to make parrying easy, powerful, and rewarding. Everyone who posts “I beat Bloodborne without parrying” like it’s an accomplishment just comes off as someone whose proud that they failed to grasp an important and cool mechanic. It’s your choice to play that way, but BB was designed with parrying in mind and it really shows at higher levels of play. Bust Rodd fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Mar 18, 2019 |

i think what i liked about bloodborne parrying was the gun/melee combo. i don't run shields in dark souls and when i pop on a buckler to try out parrying it doesn't have that same visceral feeling of getting the shot off properly and hearing that metallic success sound.

There are tons of power moves and double handed swings you cannot parry in dark souls 3 and blood borne as well. Also you can guard break Amygdala.

I’m pretty mediocre at souls games but I also loved them and I kinda hate how often people post about how various play styles are inferior and indulge in all the “git gud” stuff unironically. It’s stupid and bad for getting people to try From games, I didn’t play DS for six years after it came out because I hate “hard” games and then I ended up loving it when I decided to see if it was actually fair

If you can beat the game with a build/playstyle then it’s a good playstyle. Same with every game ever released.

Why does somebody thinking they're good at those games because they played it a different way to you give you a sense of superiority, seems pretty wanky to me? Ya I agree the other post went a bit too hyperbolic but to your point about BB, I actually am like you, I wasn't that good at parrying in general in Souls but I thought Bloodborne has the easiest parrying in the series because how fast the gun fires. Souls with all it's different shields/daggers, different animations it felt very hard to parry. I only learned to parry for bosses since their movements are animated very well such as Gwyn. Honestly I think if you are too good at parrying it kinda ruins the game, you just need to be good enough to use it vs certain enemies. Anyway from the gameplay reveal this keeps looking like it has more content than I expected. I will be happy if it's 15-20 hours but really loving good. Has it been said how long it takes to finish? I remember one of the Fromsoft pr guy saying it was like 45 hours or something but can't find where he said that. Ulio fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Mar 18, 2019 |
