Like, your Living Weapon/Yokai Shift getting strong enough and frequently-usable enough to let you buzzsaw through large enemies while taking zero damage is just one thing that the game gives you regardless of your build, and it makes the experience much less painful. Rather than having to memorise some huge monster's alarmingly difficult-to-avoid moveset well enough to dodge and slice your way through their alarmingly large health-pool, you can just press a button that lets you annihilate them by spamming basic attacks. Similarly, every build will have ranged weapons that let them thin the crowd before entering a battle by blowing heads off and/or knocking people down, which aren't all that common in most other Soulslikes.

I bounced hard off Nioh 1 but eventually got back into it and beat it this year. The thing to understand is that it's brutally unforgiving at the start to the point where it's honestly kind of bad. The first two bosses in particular just kind of suck, really. A lot of this is that you're really just way more fragile than in Dark Souls (and also you're going to die falling into pits a lot because your character moves kind of weird). But once you start speccing into the really broken poo poo like Sloth Talismans you can break the game over your knee and only have real trouble when the game is actively trying to gently caress you over. Nioh 2 is a lot of fun and I need to get back to it.

Basically, the fun of Nioh is the crazy ninjutsu and magic poo poo and you don't get to play a lot with that at the start.

Nioh 2 also makes brawler builds a lot more viable by giving them their own dedicated ranged weapon, the Hand Cannon, and by giving Brutes the lion's share of powerful, simple-to-use yokai abilities in the early game. Both games having fast, 100%-effective blocks also benefits any build with heavy enough armour to soak up the stamina cost of some gigantic demon monster smacking them. You can turtle pretty good in Nioh.

Every sword game ever has trained you that the clanking and sparks is bad and the subtle sound of sword into flesh is good. Part of what makes action games good is the endorphin hit with every fleshy sound effect that erupts when you connect with your opponent. It's a little reward, and the harsh clank is a punishment. To enjoy sekiro you have to reprogram your brain, because almost every enemy should be beaten by CLANK CLANK CLANK just tapping block rhythmically while locked on. Also the parry window is big and if you miss you block and take no damage anyway so whatever. It's weird how easy the game is once you get this vs how loving hard and annoying it is before you reprogram.

Yeah, the idea of that clank sound is actually doing something that helps you takes a long time to get used to.

Made it to the first DLC boss and deleted the game, I dunno if light armour is a trap or should only be worn by people who never get hit ever but every move he did one shot me and I had to use sloth scrolls to have him at what I would consider a reasonable speed.Darth Walrus posted:Both Niohs really do get much more forgiving later on, though?

The living weapon can only be used when it's charged up and if someone is struggling there's a good chance they've died without get their souls back so you lose both the souls you drop, your current souls and any charge on the Amrita gauge. When you're doing boss runs you've not very likely to charge it up much either as only acquiring amrita adds to it. Ranged weapons are fine but they're useless against bosses and have limited ammo. Every thing that breaks the game has to be deliberately specced into because you know it breaks the game or stumble on it by accident out of tons of weapons and items of varying usefulness with limited skill points. God forbid you're bad at parrying and want to use swords too. Sakurazuka fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Sep 12, 2020 |

Pulcinella posted:This. The boss you mentioned Genichiro at the top of the castle is basically a microcosm of the whole game. In the way that Gascoigne is a boss that gate keeps based on your ability to parry, that boss is like that but for nearly every technique in the game, and it’s totally possible and reasonable that he is the second boss for most people. He is harder and has more technical depth than most games final boss.[/spoiler] He is the 4th boss, at the absolute minimum, but for the average player he'll likely be the 7th boss, who is also preceded by numerous mini-bosses as well. The skill curve on approach to him is so finely tuned that (from a development standpoint, QA) it might be one of the most impressive and satisfying skill-checks ever put into an action videogame.

I did take me a little while to get used to this concept, but it's very satisfying as you say. I also really love this mechanic in GoT. On Sekiro chat, I think the big reason I keep bouncing off it is it takes too much effort to get to the boss to learn from trial and error. I know you could say the same thing about DS games but like others have mentioned, they are cheesable eventually. Nothing is really cheesable in Sekiro, minus the boss I'm stuck on now big poison throwing katana dude as you can retreat to the beginning and he backs off. But getting to him is such a pain in the rear end I keep giving up.

I tried to find impressions because I was curious also and 9/10 posts are about trying to get it to work at all (Obsidian  ) but I did see one describe it as a little more New Vegas style open-world than the base game but nothing really solid or game-changing a la Far Harbor in F4.

If you want me to not get seen by an enemy I can't do it, and I hate doing it because it gives me anxiety because I'm so bad at it. For my brain third person action games with unforgiving and brutal combat feel natural and I don't have to put thought in to it or spend time getting good. Which is good for me because they're one of my favorite genres and I hate feeling overly challenged by a video game. Every game can be "not that hard" and not everyone who says they find a hard game easy is trolling

If you are having trouble with Jyuzo in Sekiro, make sure you've beaten the first proper boss, Gyoubu, first. He is the last fight at Ashina Outskirts

Just to clarify beating Gyoubu gets you a big attack power boost + you can simply block most of his attacks instead of parrying if you are still getting used to controls.

There’s actually specific little exploitative ways to beat nearly every Sekiro boss. If you’re stuck on one, YouTube it, there’s often ways to sneak and land the first deathblow, spam a specific special weapon (I get the feeling these are built this way), or pull some other environmental shenanigans. Some of them just seem.. way too purposeful and must be “cheats” from left in there because there’s no summoning. One or two exploits were actually bugs and were patched out, specifically the tree you could climb to slaughter the big spinning enchanted boss with the sword on the bridge (I can’t remember the name). I just had to use these on those two bosses with the sniper weapons because they were loving awful to beat for me. But I definitely echo what other’s say, if you learn the timing and the rhythm the fights aren’t too difficult. That N+6 genichiro video Imhotep posted above is a great example. Genichiro took me maybe twenty tries over two days until I learned the timing. It did look like a combination of imhotep’s first and second video, sometimes sloppy and sometimes just perfectly timed. It was probably the most rad and badass I’ve ever felt playing a game (not counting beating Oryx in Kingsfall here) when I beat him. I really really hope this Elden Ring delivers.

I had a much easier time running through Sekiro than I did Dark Souls 3 for some reason despite Sekiro being more limited in your combat options.
