Ninja Souls looks fantastic. The aerial stealth instant kills remind me a lot of Revengeance. Here's Vaati's run, he plays pretty differently and shows the resurrection mechanic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2tZyh4pwM0 Sindai fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Aug 22, 2018 |

They probably just wanted to make sure that all the footage the press makes at least shows off their cool execution animations instead of consisting entirely of button mashing into enemies until they hyper armor counter.

That seemed like a remarkably small install size, but then I checked and DS3 is the same so I guess it makes sense.

Man the first Seven Spears guy is just unbelievably brutal for how early he appears in the game. All three types of unblockable and every hit takes off nearly your entire life bar. If you couldn't backstab half his life off and cheese the other half in several ways he'd be a much, much harder fight than anything else at that point in the game.

I felt bad after the Monkey hunt boss because I just sprinted around the rooftops stabbing them all and then exploring the area afterwards noticed all the signs carefully explaining the special mechanics you were supposed to use to stealth kill them.  But knowing souls players I'm betting that happened to everyone.

shut up blegum posted:God drat, got O'Rin down to 1 life and only a sliver of posture left. Then I got stuck on some rock and she totally annihilated me. So so close. O'rin I found surprisingly easy. She only has one kind of unblockable and her combos are fast enough that just tapping deflect got me through them long enough to learn the timing. Corrupted Monk was pretty rough though. Two kinds of unblockable with very similar startup animations, some really fast counters if you get too close, and very small windows where you can actually hurt her. I wish I'd known Sabimaru worked against her but now that I think about it's actually pretty funny it's specifically good against enemies that hang out in the poison swamp and certain ghosts.

bike tory posted:Nah it's not a problem. The trick is to be like me, too loving old and slow to notice and react to his animation wind-ups, and just spam block. Of course I went from dying instantly for an hour to barely getting into p2 with no healing to reaching p2 with 4 sips remaining and not even needing to use any of them. Weird that p2 is actually easier because one of his new attacks is a free punish and the other is trivial to avoid. The only thing that might make it slightly tougher is that goddamn owl sometimes flying right in front of the camera.

ISS phase 1: Hey, this isn't so bad. ISS phase 2: aaaaaAAAAAAAAA The dragon joins the monkeys as the only two bosses in the game to get one shot. I never even figured out how the lightning worked, I just grappled back and forth blindly until it happened.

ISS is fantastic, the perfect end boss for Sekiro. DoH is...none of those things. I particularly hate the giant 4 hit melee combo, since it seems like the fire hand sweeps are unblockable and extremely difficult to dodge through. All his other attacks are actually pretty easy to deal with but if he uses the combo when I'm too far away to sprint past it I just die every time.

Do bosses get new moves on NG+? I swear on a stack of bibles Genichiro never ever did this short range standing grab to me on NG, but he pulled it out constantly on + and actually killed me a couple of times.Kalsco posted:Anything intended for countering ISS p2 (3?) charged wide sweep? I'm not saying it's the only thing getting me during that phase, but I reliably take damage during it unless I happen to jump exactly when it goes off. My ISS bane was that sheathed sword fakeout where he does a jab into a sweep. Eventually I found the best way to deal with sheathing was just to run away. He then always does the cross and I could sprint back in and get a free hit if I judged the range correctly. Sindai fucked around with this message at 08:21 on May 5, 2019 |

My favorite thing about NG+ is wrecking early enemies with lazulite shuriken. Pew pew I'm throwing goddamn purple lasers. Also the umbrella with its associated counter attack skill is ludicrously powerful. I'm glad I never discovered that on NG until DoH. I wanted to be stylish and defeat the red-eyed ogre with the fire feather dodge tool, but I just then learned that it doesn't work on grabs (which seems silly) so I ended up almost dying a lot instead. On the bright side I also learned you can grapple back onto his head when his grabs throw you off the edge...several times. I learned that Dragon Flash absolutely ruins Butterfly. Free hit every time she jumps up.

oh CJacobs, I started watching your Sekiro videos and the fact that someone told you mikiris require a neutral stick and it made you think they're inconsistent and hard to do is driving me crazy. Please tell me you eventually realized they're easy if you push the stick forward and dodge directly into the attack.

In the grand Sekiro tradition you either have to slowly and carefully sneak and stab/fight them one at a time or run past them in seconds. Like the nightjar ninjas, they have no knowledge of grappling into open windows.

Appoda posted:Welp, finally Sekiro-row-rowed my boat gently to the end credits. Heck of a game, but after some cursory research, it seems that there are two other endings that are totally missable unless you do a bunch of bullshit somewhere during the mid-point of the game (not counting the iron code thing); is it really worth it to replay just to see those scenes/interactions? Return doesn't have any bosses or minibosses, just some short stuff involving giant snakes, so it's the least interesting. You can however do all the prerequisites and then save scum to finish it in the same run you do Purification if you don't want to do a whole new game for it.

I think you just need to find the sick mother/son, die a few times, and talk to Emma and the Sculptor to trigger it? In retrospect I bet one of the main reasons it's so easy to die to the first ogre is to guarantee players trigger the quest there. Sindai fucked around with this message at 22:58 on May 9, 2019 |

I died to phantom monk in NG+ because people said poison was good on her and I spent all fight trying to get it to work.  In my defense it works on O'rin so clearly ghosts can be poisoned in the Sekiro universe.Then I tried lazulite axe instead and wow that just melts her.

I actually wish the Shura ending bosses were reversed. Emma is super cool because she's like a combination of Isshin and O'rin but she has to be easy since she's just phase 1 of the fight so she has tons of enormous vulnerability windows. Old Isshin has some neat tricks but it would have been neat if he was just the warmup since he's already half-dead and then Emma comes out and reveals she's actually his true successor when it comes to swordplay.

Yeah it's pretty annoying how XP is banked automatically as long as you go long enough without dying but for gold you have to remember which memorial mobs you haven't bought out yet. One of the game's few flaws.

Remember you can deflect any attack no matter how big it is unless it's a sweep or a grab, though very large attacks can still leave you recoiling for a moment with that rad animation where you thrust your sword into the ground and not give you a chance to counter afterwards, so usually it's better to dodge against big slow enemies. You'll have to say exactly which enemies you're talking about for better advice.

You're supposed to use it before the attack hits you, but I think the upgrade lets it work after being hit too. Probably the least useful tool since it doesn't work against grabs and you already know how to defend against everything else anyway.
