The Moon Monster posted:The moment to moment gameplay is basically nothing like Dark Souls or Bloodborne Yeah, the combat is fairly different, but everything that surrounds it is pretty similar to its siblings. Enough that there would be tons of comparisons to Souls games even if it wasn’t by From.

Yeah, you could probably hand this game to someone while asking them to tell you what developer it's from based on how it plays and they'd likely go "this feels a hell of a lot like a FROM game" pretty quickly. It's not a lot like a Souls game in practice, but in terms of how everything surrounding the combat presents itself, it's pretty distinctively the same style.

*try to fight Genichiro's bottom bitch semi legitimately* *gets destroyed in 2-3 imperceptible attacks over and over again* *stands out of range and spams ichimonji swings and axe attacks* *crumples like wet paper* And people say this isn't a Souls game

It's funny because before demon souls most of FROMs output were weird clock tower style horror adventure games but now they will forever be remembered as the souls people.

this dude at the serpent shrine told me he was going to take revenge for somebody whose name I didn't recognize and then I killed him without getting hit maybe he was talking about the other purple ninja miniboss in the well? these guys are kinda goofy because they're basically the exact same as the non-miniboss purple ninjas, but with 2 healthbars.

Not sure if it works all the time but for spear guys it looks like the Mikiri counter triggers a lot easier if you dodge forward rather than doing it from neutral. I was having a hell of a time with the shinobi hunter until I started doing that, after which I landed 4/4 counters

Sekiro - Shadows Die Twice: Be Down With the SicknessRelin posted:the amount of missable stuff in this game is making me want to hold off on starting it. i managed to platinum bloodborne on one playthrough but got greedy in DS3 and hosed up the one npc quest due to misinformation early on... This is the Soulsbournekiro with the least amount ways to gently caress up dumbass NPC questlines.

Ciaphas posted:before I get too far, does this do the From Software Thing where it's not always clear that you've met a friendly NPC until you walk up and can Interact (and indeed, can attack friendly NPCs)? If all else fails, just target - if it's anything like the other games, you can't target something that doesn't have a health bar, and NPCs don't until you attack them. It, however, does do the fromsoft thing of stashing an important NPC behind 2 hidden pathways, an obscuring shrub, and a tantalizing boss room in the other direction, so good luck finding some of the bastards.

Seriously, for anyone else struggling, change your mindset away from falling back and waiting and switch it to just going HAM on everything. It’s a game changer.

tpink posted:Seriously, for anyone else struggling, change your mindset away from falling back and waiting and switch it to just going HAM on everything. It’s a game changer. Constant pressure will both deplete the enemy's guard and also prevent them from using their most effective attacks in a lot of cases. Once you get into that attack and block/deflect rhythm you can really burn down enemy guard and save yourself dealing with their most potent mid/long range attacks.

Am I correct that you can get through to Gun Fort without having to directly confront Snake Eyes?. I don't need a key or anything right?

Cardiovorax posted:I dunno about Clock Tower-ish except in terms of weirdness, maybe. King's Field definitely has proto-Souls action RPG style gameplay. First person instead of third person, but you can see where they evolved from. They have a bunch of other stuff than kings field though. I can't remember the name right now but they had an adventure game for ps1 that takes place on a haunted boat, and they had a bunch of other stuff in that genre. I'm just saying they were around for a long time before souls and their output used to be much more diverse and it's a shame that now people will eternally compare anything they do to dark souls or bloodborne.
