honestly doesn’t sound like too much of a departure if you’re already familiar with bloodborne

it's not that great, but if you haven't played it technically it's more dark souls and it might get you through the next 2 months

i think there's only one single boss with three health bars, and it's a dlc boss, so if that's really the hitch keeping you from dark souls 3 it shouldn't be. but it's kind of like a greatest hits compilation of the other games with a poorly constructed halfway point between bloodborne's aggressive combat and souls' more turtley pacing to the detriment of both.

it looks like parrying is going to be extremely important but it's easy and good parrying not the lovely parrying from dark souls 2/3

ended up watching the video content for gameinformer's stuff about sekiro because i'm just that desperate for more information about it and i already read all the articles. the game is looking a lot more ninja gaideny than i expected, but as i really hoped.

to be fair, it's not like you're going to be izuna dropping fools or anything, but it really seems like they're trying to ramp up what they started with bloodborne in terms of aggression and turtling. it looks like from the gameplay video/interview that the whole point is to never stop attacking, if the enemy starts a combo while you're wailing on them you can just deflect it all and keep on trucking, and you want to because the more pressure you keep up the sooner they get set up for a visceral attack

unfortunately, no direct information that i know of, but if past is precedent as with the soulsbornes then higher framerates on pc would probably be a safe bet

like the actual graphics/textures stuff sure, but i guarantee you can tell the difference between a framerate of 30 and a framerate of 60 you just might not know exactly what it entails

i have no qualms with your choices or reasons behind them but i'd just like to point out that there's no guarantee that there will be a preload option available for sekiro, unless from software has done so in the past (i don't typically preorder things so i'm not sure one way or the other). there's also no guarantee that part of weird problems with the game at launch won't include a lot of pc port jankery, from's gotten better about it over the years but i don't think that there's ever been an example of their ports being 100% solid and perfect from the jump.

scary ghost dog posted:every fromsoft game this gen has worked flawlessly from moment 1, with preloads. only exception might be bloodborne load screens i can at least think of the durability bug in dark souls 2 but that also took literal years for them to care about fixing so it's kind of a bad example for "wait until after launch"

Imhotep posted:https://youtu.be/AzsMkYXG7Xo New footage of the first area, looks more polished/less demo-y. The way the coins fly towards you kind of annoys me, I mean they’ve done that in like every Souls game, and Bloodborne I think, but it’s like, not a bunch of gold coins flying into the character.. but drat it looks dope, the eavesdropping system is basically what I assumed, but seeing a glimpse of what the plot is like thru gameplay mechanics makes me excited for how many cool little things people will discover.

Ulio posted:So there is a bunch of previews and they are all super positive. Seems like it is different than Souls but still feels like a fromsoft game. Also a lot of the previews said this was harder than Souls, don't know how accurate that is, maybe people were just trying to play it like Souls instead of the new style it actually wants you to play it like(parry heavy). the review over at polygon apparently has called it the "friendliest" of the souls games citing more extensive hand-holdy tutorials and the instant revive system and if those butterfingered bastards can say that i'm not sure who i trust on the difficulty of the game

we joke and have fun here but there's a line somewhere between "avoiding spoilers" and "throwing $60 at video game you know nothing about based on brand recognition" and i genuinely wonder how many people who have hyped themselves up so hardcore for this with their eyes blindfolded and their ears plugged are in for a rude awakening when these very basic core gameplay things we've all known about for probably a year at this point end up in their lap

Lid posted:I can only remember in DS3 i cheesed very early duels before the meta settled and people knew what was good or not by using the painted guardian curved sword. It had the lowest range but had ridiculously fast strikes therefore no stamina cost and inflicted bleed so fast people died before they realised what was happening. huh. i didn't come to dark souls 3 until waaaay after the last dlc/patch came out, but i farmed up a painted guardian curved sword from the one npc that drops it because it was notorious for having a 0-frame windup on its parry animation (i.e. a dark souls 1 style parry). kind of interesting that it wound up having something broken about it two games in a row.

JBP posted: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. i'm definitely on board with the descriptor "from software take on making a platinum game". combat looks very revengeance-y as projected through the lens of a soulsborne

Bust Rodd posted: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 think he's talking about the souls series at large, because the way you phrased your initial post didn't specify bloodborne parries (in fact you said "all these games" which isn't true)
