Why the gently caress is the gyro on by default when you use controllers on PC, and why did they not include an option inside the game to disable that? What the gently caress.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:I don't think this is true. Sekiro's controller profile specifically has the gyro enabled when most other games' profiles do not. Basically, the publisher can choose one of the default controller profiles steam provides (or provide their own custom one iirc), and FromSoftware for some reason chose the one with the gyro. This is easily fixed, but still, it's on them. Not easily fixed with a Switch Pro controller, sadly. Really annoying.

So my game was locked at 20fps on an i7-8700k running at 5 gigs with a 12 gig 1070. No matter what my settings, always 20 fps. Did some research, apparently if you have 2 monitors and an nVidia card the game shits itself and doesn't run at higher than 20fps. What the gently caress is this? How is that a thing they didn't realize before shipping? Holy poo poo what a trainwreck.

poo poo. I went back tot he starting area and met the guy in purple talking about a song he's hearing. I had already gone to the Dungeon and had the option to lure him down there, but didn't take it. Then I fought the purple guy in the well and got my rear end kicked, came backa nd now that guy is gone. Did I just gently caress up?

Oxxidation posted:i'd bet a big part of it is that you can't grind your way past challenges and you can't call in help Seriously. DS3 was kinda the worst of the DS games, honestly... they added Bloodborne style fast as poo poo combat without any of the mechanics that make it actually work in Bloodborne. It was just a painful slog, mostly, and the bosses were super forgettable.

Thundercracker posted:I found out last night there's incredibly cheap and easy ways to beat both the Elite Ashina and Seven Spears. You can poison the former and he becomes a joke. Same for the boss on the way to the Gun Fort, the description of the poison blade even specifies that the gun ladies (they are the Okami warrior women) are weak to it. Takes a full combo chain+1 or 2, usually, depending on how much they block. Hentai Jihadist posted:in terms of wtf aesthetics i think senpou temple might be my fav souls zone or up there It's a telling thing that while I was playing that area I no poo poo started smelling incense and wood.

Anyone know if there's an upper limit to dragon tears? I'm using them sparingly (only once so far, already finished Senpou and the Castle, plus most of the Valley) and have been buying them as I see them, but thus far the usual "unlimited resource" vendor for basic poo poo has not shown up and I'm thinking maybe there isn't one in this game, which is fine. Just want to know if I can pave myself more with them, I only used the last one because a quest NPC was sick. Also, is there a third person to give drinks to other than the Sculptor and Isshin? I know you can offer to Emma, but that seems like a waste and I've got a third Monkey Booze.

Look Sir Droids posted:If Sekiro was meant to be marketable to a wider audience outside of the Souls community, I really expect you won't need a mod for tuning down the difficulty. I'd put money on From patching it to make it a bit more forgiving. Hahaha yeah no, that's not happening. The only thing they patch, historically, are things like bugs in terrain or AI behaviour. More often than not, this makes it slightly easier, but that's more a case of "working as intended" vs "this is too hard." From made a game. They intentionally didn't name it Souls. It happens to share some similarities to other stuff they made. This is not surprising, for example Team Ninja has made a bunch of similar-ish games, as have id, and Bethesda, and... People complaining about "this isn't like Souls" are like people complaining there's no magic in Fallout because Elder Scrolls has it. Shut up.

The Walrus posted:personally this game so far is, having finished temple and castle, much easier than souls or bloodborne. there's no boss that has given me even CLOSE to as much trouble as Vicar, Gascoigne, Pontiff, Abyss Walkers, etc. And the areas between bosses are literally half as difficult. They're too easy, actually, now I think of it. there hasn't been a single non-boss area that I've had to play over and over again like I had to in Anor Londo (1 or 3), Unseen Village, Blighttown, etc etc. This game has Bloodborne style aggressive enemies, however the parrying doesn't leave you defenseless and while the dodges don't have as many iframes, iframes can be very tricky and BB was generally counterintuitive in that you dodged into attacks, generally speaking. Conversely in this you're actually really safe from the vast majority of attacks because you can deflect/block them, and almost all of the ones you can't have a huge red symbol pop up before they happen so you know exactly when they're coming, even if you didn't read exactly what kind of attack it was. So yeah, I'd say it's overall easier than BB.

guts and bolts posted:Do we have to post credentials before we can talk about this game's difficulty? I got the Platinum trophy in all the Dark Souls games plus DLC and Bloodborne. I just finished Dante Must Die S ranking DMC5. I like challenging games quite a bit. Yeah okay.  guts and bolts posted:Sekiro's problems, as I see them, are twofold. Your problem right here is that it's actually not. In stealth games you generally are weak and defenseless in a straight fight and have to rely on tricks or special mechanics to win, usually. In this you're actually super strong compared to most From games, especially with so many resurrections. The blocking/deflect are CRAZY generous and forgiving, and the fact that they're one button means even if you gently caress up a deflect you'll still block, which against the vast majority of attacks still means you take no health damage. Similarly, you have a TON of options to hit enemies through their guard, and a lot of enemies have very specific weaknesses that, once exploited you can just clown on them. There are some exceptional bosses to both these rules, but even with the Castle boss everyone hates - you can back off and recover posture pretty easily (though he will too) and block literally all of his attacks in the first phase without taking any damage, so you can dance around him indefinitely without dying, even if you're bad at the deflect windows. It's like saying Deus Ex is a stealth game because that makes it easier, even though you can just roll in with 3 augs running and blow up everything with a GEP gun when you actually do get caught. guts and bolts posted:The second problem ties into the first. Direct combat in this game is incredibly binary. You either play perfectly, or close to it, and the encounter feels trivial, or you make maybe two mistakes? and then get trapped in a cock-up cascade that renders the fight essentially unwinnable. This is most pronounced early on, which to me is emblematic of poor balance. Sekiro is at its hardest right near start, chiefly when you first attempt to take on Genichiro at Ashina Castle, and that specific boss seems like a litmus test for whether or not you will have the patience to finish the game. You said in your humblebrag opening that you played BB... what the hell did you call Gascoigne if not a litmus test of "get on board with dodging and countering or get hosed?" He's literally the first boss and CRAZY punishing in a game where you're far more defenseless as a lay player who may not fully get the concept of iframes on dodges or that you need to dodge through attacks. guts and bolts posted:What's more, there's a pervasive sense, owing to the fact that there's three different core dodge/deflect mechanics, that each boss effectively has a solution that you adhere to or die. ("This boss does a lot of thrusts, Mikiri Counter" or "This boss does a lot of sweeps, jump kick" is a highly simplified version of what I'm talking about.) So instead of killing ingeniously, as the tagline suggests, you wind up having to figure out what the game wants you to do via insane amounts of trial and error. You largely don't tackle bosses with creativity - you figure out the one solution and employ it. Or, as is the case with the boss at the end of reception room in Hirata Estate, exploiting the gently caress out of them in a way that doesn't feel very satisfying. For reference, anyone struggling with Lady Butterfly, you can wholly ignore 90% of her fight's mechanics by doing the Nightjar Slash over and over and over and over. This is accurate, however. There is a definitive way in which this game should be played, mostly, and deviating from it is making things harder than they need to be. Thing is, plenty of other games do this. Shooters do it all the time, so do platformers. The closest approximation to this game is honestly the recent God of War, though this has even less dynamic gameplay in the sense that you have only one weapon and you can't build your armor around, say heavy usage of power moves. You have far more defensive options, however. Maybe... maybe you guys should just stop typecasting FromSoft and judge each game on its own???

MMF Freeway posted:Are you spamming it to do the combo? It seemed pretty good the couple times I tried it This. I've found you need the full combo to get it to work, and sometimes a little extra. Their poison build up is just like yours, so if you lay off it will tick down. You basically need tip spam it in their face for full effect, ideally without blocks because blocking reduces poison build up by a bit, same as it does for you. I usually wait for a situation where I know they won't be able to block 2-3 hits of it at minimum, then swing like mad.

Jose posted:I'm at the boss in mibu village. I need tons of sen for upgrades and buying stuff and nowhere good to get it. Might finally be cheat engine time lol I found a great farming loop where you can stealth kill a bunch of poo poo and make stupid amounts of money really quickly. After the the late game event thing, go to the Old Grave, take out the two by the idol, then jump way off the wall to the rooftop, get the guy up there, then jump down and take out the guy in the tower first, then the guy on the ground in front of him, then grapple up to the far roof then wall, get that guy up there, ignore the riflemen, jump thee guy on the ground by the wall, then go finish the last guy on the bridge and take out the riflemen on your run back up. Each run is like 1400 exp and even without the baloon you'll make like 800-1000 sen at minimum, just leave all the loot and pop the balloon at the end and collect your fortunes.

I think this is my favorite From game. Bloodborne has been unseated, they just keep getting better and better as they refine the entire style down to its best essence. Souls games were sort of a wide net, then BB was, "hey, lets make a game that focuses specifically on dodging with a splash of counters while being hyper aggressive," and then this is "Okay, that worked well, but what if we made a game where it was all about parrying while still being hyper aggressive?" I eagerly await their next game, where they strip it down even further so we have some guy who doesn't even have any weapons at all and fights completely unarmed while dodging and parrying like a lunatic and his arms and legs are all prosthetics and you can shove weird devices into them. Sign me up.

Grapplejack posted:It'd probably help if this game had better growth potential, I think; I can't imagine what NG+3 and up are like. I'd think the opposite, honestly. Whereas the Soulsborne games have a cap to your attack power once you hit +10 and the stat cap, with the ritual knife you basically can keep going up in attack power indefinitely in this by burning Skill Points, and at a certain point you'd have all the skills anyway, so boosting your attack power is pretty much all you'd do with them.

From there it's just a matter of parrying her combo/spamming firecrackers and just rushing her down for the final kill.

I thought it was an intentional design for that exact reason, why have the branches there otherwise? Wouldn't be the first time FROM built in a way to make a fight easy if you're crafty.

Fallen Order does an okay job of aping a lot of Sekiro's style but the mechanics aren't nearly as tight and it has a few not well explained or demoed mechanics that are actually super powerful and make for fun fights. Not many bosses, unfortunately, but it's still a fun game worth checking out, especially if you like Star Wars.

Watching that mod, it makes me think... What if instead of a health bar mechanic and whatnot, they instead had Sekiro's health work like the enemy bosses, with a poise bar and just the 2-3 actual pips for enemies to do killing attacks on you. You could argue that the revive mechanic simulates this, but what if it straight worked like a boss, down to some moves only being usable when you have 1 pip left? In general gameplay it would be less threatening since most enemies probably would never get a killing blow off and there's no "wearing you down over the course of a level" aesthetic, but still... A game designed around that style could actually be really drat cool, where maybe you intentionally tank some health pips to unlock your better moves for high risk/reward play.
