JBP posted:Is there some huge, huge spoiler or is it just game footage? I'm scared that there is something ebbing kept hidden that will diminish my enjoyment more than say accidentally seeing a boss or whatever. EpicNameBro has a relationship with FromSoftware, so if he's making it a point to warn about spoilers, then it's probably something(s) you wouldn't want spoiled.

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. Man, I really love what they're doing with music in this game. Every encounter gets its own intensity which ebbs and flows based on how much poo poo you're in. That linked video is pretty safe, spoiler-wise, but I think that's all I'll be watching til release! It was "enough" Edit: video shows perhaps a relevant mini-boss starting at 4:25 but is pretty safe prior to that.

Firstborn posted:Based on Digital Foundry's video, seems Sekiro averages 45~ FPS in 1080p on PS4 Pro. Their video footage resembled Dark Souls 3 on PS4 Pro a lot, but overall seemed to err closer to the 45+ FPS mark than DS3 did. I'll echo the sentiment that a 30FPS lock option would be a welcome addition, but with the unique aspect of being able to laterally & Overall, looks totally fine/good to me. Playing DS3 with an unlocked frame rate looked and felt better than playing it at 30(?)FPS on my old base PS4, but that's just me. I totally understand how/why some prefer a locked framerate. 30FPS has always felt just a touch too low for me in games such as this; cinematic feeling be damned. Zip lining a hundred yards from tree to tree at 60MPH may just feel too jarring at 30 FPS. TL;DR -- who cares. Firstborn posted:They aren't sure if there's an option for it. I read that Boost Mode actually makes Bloodborne drop even more frames. I don't know the technicalities on why this happens, but it felt awful to me with Boost Mode enabled. Bloodborne just inherently has an issue with skipping frames no matter how it's played. I'd love to replay it, but it's murder on the eyes. enojy fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Mar 10, 2019 |

Frog Act posted:Got some steambux for my birthday from a friend, suddenly this game I am pumped about but thought I’d only be able to afford in like a year is affordable, so I finally watched the trailers which I’ve been avoiding so I wouldn’t get too sad about missing out, and drat. It kind of reminds me more of Nioh than Dark Souls, and I’m gonna echo other posters and express a fear that without multiplayer summons I’ll never be able to beat it cus i 100% needed summons for a few bosses in DS3/DS/Nioh I haven't watched a lot of footage, but the grappling points seem semi-static, like tree branches and roof ledges seem like very common points, but there are multiple spots you can hit for any given object (rather than infinite points.) Videos make it look like a reticle will auto-lock to the nearest grapple point. Lots of emphasis on parrying, haven't seen a single shield (on the player character) in any videos. Wouldn't count on them being equipped in the game. No one can say just how precise the timing will necessitate, but I'm expecting it to be pretty similar to Nioh, perhaps a bit more lenient (judging Team Ninja vs. Fromsoftware history of timing in their games.)

Bloodborne was a lot easier on the eyes for me before I watched the Digital Foundry analysis. Also helped that it was a great rear end game and I bought a PS4 just for it, so I didn't really give a poo poo. I didn't even mind the pre-patch minute-long loading times, I was so hyped. There weren't any Blighttown moments or Gutters, just a jittery looking game was all. I would've loved it if they had poo poo out a PS4 Pro patch.

No Mods No Masters posted:It’s the new activision side of the partnership trying to hedge their bets I would guess. There are some legitimate reasons to think this game might not score super well, and the core fromsoft diehards scarcely need the convincing, so why take the risk I just thought they were switching gears in that aspect of promotion by instead inviting a number of press/influencers/fans to their HQ to play presumably a final build, and then allow them to publish their own impressions. I don't know a thing about the state of video game promotion these days, though; like Respawn spent a million dollars of their promotional budget to pay Ninja to stream Apex Legends for a day and that poo poo worked wonders. Phrases like "the review embargo is (date of release)" used to get me skeptical, but in this game's case, I haven't seen anything to merit any concern.

CJ posted:Wait, they are replacing impartial reviews by paying "influencers" to play their game and give their "impressions"? The last game to do that was Fallout 76 and look how that turned out. That's ringing alarm bells. Just a theory. They did pay to transport these people, but that's all I know as far as financial compensation goes. There very well may have been some (paid?) contractual agreement that these people only mention favorable aspects of the game, but I've read none of it cuz I'm goin in blind. I've basically limited my exposure to the game to this thread, and I've certainly not read/seen anything worrying yet. Promoting video games is a strange business these days. I'd be more concerned if they had said the review embargo was 24-hours prior to release. That they simply aren't sending out review copies is of no concern to me in terms of the game possibly being bad. enojy fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Mar 17, 2019 |

Gameplay reveal trailer is up, didn't seem too spoilery. May have shown a glimpse of an unknown boss or two, but there was no UI, so I don't even know if those were bosses. Biggest possible spoiler has to do with upgrading the prosthetic arm, and I'd hardly consider it a spoiler. Overall very good little hype piece! Really just goes over what everyone knows so far -- brief intro on who you are and what you're doing in the story, you can grapple hook, you can use stealth, parrying, guard breaking, you can resurrect at a cost etc. So if you really don't want to see any footage of the game, skip it. enojy fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Mar 18, 2019 |

I wonder how I'm gonna feel going from Sekiro to Assassin's Creed Odyssey, having never played an Assassin's Creed game. I bought it for super cheap about a month ago and meant for it to be my filler game until Sekiro came out, but alas I've barely touched it. Way too late now.Schneider Inside Her posted:I’m gonna buy this game day one and really enjoy it I think, but I’m a bit worried cos I haven’t played a Souls game in a while but just picked up Bloodborne cos i finally got a PS4, and man, I am toilet water at that game. It’s actually triggering me pretty hard. So yeah, I guess I’m just gonna have to get good all over again. Don't even worry about it! This game may be hard, or it may not be that bad. The only Soulsborne DNA I see in it (from what I've seen) are largely UI elements. Plus, Bloodborne has a notoriously balls-out difficult first quarter. I went into it a seasoned Souls pro and still had plenty of rage moments. Bloodborne was a great game, but its difficulty curve was total poo poo. Whatever the case, Sekiro is probably going to be the least Souls-like game Fromsoftware have made since uh... whatever the last Armored Core game they made before Demon's Souls. enojy fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Mar 19, 2019 |

Look Sir Droids posted:Really, that's all? I see a lot more than that. It looks to be slightly more different than Souls games than Bloodbourne was, but the pedigree is pretty clearly there. Well, I've been keeping myself pretty in the dark, but I only notice abstract similarities, such as the third person view, death/resurrection mechanics, rumors of an interconnected world, "bonfires" and such. I get the feeling the moment-to-moment gameplay is going to feel quite different, with all the ziplining around, constant ebb and flow of music, and implied emphasis on stealth/eavesdropping/assassinations. Still the trappings of a Fromsoftware ARPG, but refreshing enough to not feel like just another Soulsborne game. Bloodborne felt like a Souls game with a coat of gothic Victorian paint to me, while this looks like something wholly different. At least, those are my hopes. Worst case scenario, to me, is a Nioh rehash made by Fromsoftware, and I'd still love the poo poo out of that. enojy fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Mar 19, 2019 |

Sauer posted:I'm worried this game might have minor flaws which would make it utter garbage and not worth a spending a single penny. If this game isn't perfect in every way and be exactly like the soulsborne games, From will have effectively stab their fans in the back. Honestly if I get like 10 hours into this game and it just feels like Dark Souls 5 I probably won't even bother finishing it. I'd like to think the majority of Soulsborne fans have had enough Soulsborne.

FallenGod posted:I'm trying to imagine the kind of person who would watch a stream of this game instead of going in blind, but the concept is just too alien to me. I ate up Dark Souls streams leading up to its release. I specifically remember one Japanese player streaming it at just about any hour I checked. A day or two prior to street date, I spent at least a few hours watching him throw himself at some random boss to no avail. Didn't know who the boss was, since the name was in Japanese, but I sure found out who it was when I got to the last boss of the game! It ruined it a little bit for me, so no pre-release streams for me.

Look Sir Droids posted:It's more like, and I'll stick with comedy here, "I've already seen Eddie Murphy Raw, I don't need to see anymore of his comedy so I'm going to pass on Delirious." Unacceptable! I specifically chose Robin Williams Live On Broadway 2002 because it was great for its time, but not a classic. Too heavy on the shtick, too much topical humor, didn't age well. Feels almost like a Gallagher special these days. Raw is timeless and one of the all-time greats. Then again, I'd say that about Dark Souls 1, so I'm not really supporting my case very well here. Like... imagine if Eddie Murphy had made three specials between Delirious and Raw, except those three were just him wearing different-colored leather suits and rehashing half of the bits from Delirious... and you watched them all hundreds of times because you couldn't get enough. Then he announces Raw, and you're like "please don't do the Bill Cosby bit in this one" Edit: Bill Cosby bit is in fact from Raw, not Delirious.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:I might vaccuum out my pauperstation tonight in advance of the release :suck: :blow: Related, I recently found out that cleaning a PS4 Pro (and maaaaybe a slim, but look it up before trying this) is as simple as prying the top layer off with your hands to access the vents and fan. No tools needed -- sounds like a "just put your Switch in the oven" troll, but it's true! The clips holding it on are pretty stiff, so it requires a good amount of force and may make some worrying sounds on the way off, but everything will be fine. I just opened mine up that's about a year old, and was surprised to see it needed no cleaning whatsoever. I have two very sheddy cats and my PS4 is basically on the floor.

It's fine for the fodder enemies, but yeah, that's a big loving snake. I got one-shotted from a simple body collision. Bypassing this is going to take precision and uninhibited planning. Slightly before that point, I'm very glad they made it possible for the Chained Ogre's throw to actually toss you into the abyss. Broke up the monotony of trying to figure out the proper counter timing with some laughter. Edit: Jerusalem posted:Oh God this Ogre gently caress I swear at one point he loving landed after a failed grab attempt.... and then slid through the mud and managed to get me anyway! I had some issues with timing that as well, but as you said, there is some mud involved. If they went as far as to account for him sliding into you for the grab given the extra momentum thanks to mud, then lord help us... I've had best results delaying that particular counter until the very last moment prior to contact, but for other things (e.g. thrust counter,) timing on that seems quite lenient to the point of going for it as the enemy lunges towards you (e.g. right after the enemy's weapon glints.) YMMV, but so far I'm chalking it up to more of the same floaty timing bullshit that steered me away from ever getting into parrying in Souls games.
