Yeah this is literally the only time the system comes up. It's like having 20 estus flasks all the time, and then you run out and have to interrupt what you're (presumably) doing to go get more. I don't know how that could possibly be an improvement - all the mechanics in these games designed to interrupt play to make you go do something else sucked. Item weight, limited vials, non-autorepair weapon durability, etc - all bad.

Not having item weight is the best part of Bloodborne

Not having equip weight in bloodborne is also fantastic but man, "item weight" in demon's souls is so much worse. It applied to your whole inventory, not just what was equipped. At least in dark souls you never have to leave treasure behind because you're carrying too many weapons in your inventory instead of your stockpile.

item weights indeed suck rear end. the amount of damage absorbed by heavy armor vs the increased chances of being hit from the reduced rolling ability is totally out of whack, armor barely counts anyway just let me have my fashion souls and look cool

Looking forward to having only one weapon in Sekiro and not entertaining the fiction that I have 9 greatswords, 5 ultragreatswords, 18 shields, and 4 crossbows shoved up my rear end in a top hat that I can access at any time, for the whole game. My immersion!

I haven't been following this because I like to experience new things firsthand:

- I have a 4770k cpu and a 980 card, with an ssd. I also have an original ps4. Wondering what platform to get this on
- I heard it's not an rpg? More like an action game (like bayonetta or something?)
- are there any pre-order items? I'd rather just get it on/after release day if it's good.

That would have easily got 60FPS in Dark Souls 3, and this game has lower recommended specs than DS3. That said, impossible to say for sure until you get people actually playing it.

Dude on reddit said it felt like 20fps on base PS4 :eyepop: I don’t really trust that though since people will swear Bloodborne is a technical mess when it feels and looks smooth and responsive to me.

yeah, my 1050 ti is starting to struggle with most new games so given that i have a pro and a 4k tv i will be waiting to see what the performance numbers look like since if i have to drop a bunch of setting just to get even close to 60fps i can sit on my couch and play on my big tv instead of my monitor.

I have a very pedestrian 960. The 2 GB version. And it still does fine. The newest game I have though is DX Mankind Divided though. I just started playing it and I'm sure it could be better, but it still runs better than if it was on a console. Sekiro ain't gonna be poo poo.

Honestly if I get like 10 hours into this game and it just feels like Dark Souls 5 I probably won't even bother finishing it. I'd like to think the majority of Soulsborne fans have had enough Soulsborne.

I don't want a souls game and this doesn't seem like one at all so that's good

The PC version has the same requirements as Dark Souls III so I would expect on PS4 to it to run similarly to Dark Souls III.

a lot of people like to be surprised by events, twists and turns in their entertainment media. do you really need a detailed explanation as to why a lot of people would find that to be an important element in how they find enjoyment in something like this?
