Saw this on Steam a few days ago. Looks really good.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

I'm going to get it. Should be good.

Playing through Dark Souls 3 rn

Started fresh in Bloodborne and I'm in love again. I had some From fatigue, but this looks great as well.

I hadn't paid attention to this game during its development cycle, so I had no opinion on it one way or the other. However, after watching several YouTube videos, I'm more than interested now.

The level design is what's got my attention the most. The overall look of the game is gorgeous. The samurai aspect is a big draw for me too. It looks like a more polished Nioh, which is another game that I thought was very good.

The only other From Software game I put a lot of time into was Bloodborne. The combat in this game seems a lot more fluid than that was. It'll be interesting to see how it feels with a controller in hand, though. Time to mentally prepare myself to get my *** kicked over and over again.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

I already bought and preloaded it. Can’t wait.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

Looking forward to some impressions on this as I often get into FromSoft games some time after their releases. Kinda forgot it does in fact have its own thread! :google:

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

Since I have a $10 coupon that came with buying The Division 2 from GameStop that expires on the 29th, I'll be picking up Sekiro before then. May even buy it Friday morning but not 100% sure. Will definitely be buying it no later than the 29th though.

For those interested, the review embargo lifts on Thursday at 9am EST.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

I ended up pre-ordering it as well but I got the disc instead of digital so I can trade it in if I gt frustrated :)

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

By all accounts its gonna be hard. But thats cool. From games are rewarding in that way. They dont feel cheap.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

I agree. They don't feel cheap at all. My only concern is that with the other games I usually got help on the bosses so we will see how it goes since there is no multi-player.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

I hope that the PRO version is not locked at 1080p with an unlocked FPS between 40 and 60 as DF is reporting

That would suck big time.....

Good thing I will be playing this on my pc at 4k and hopefully unlocked FPS with GSYNC

Was watching people play this yesterday and this morning. The amount of times people died was insane. They weren't lying when they said this game is hard.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

I've been hearing that too.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

If the beginning of the game is any indication I am going to die Alot.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

This game is amazing. But it is very challenging! I have not played a Japanese game in many years.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

This game is PURE EVIL. I might be too weak for this game

Game is insane good!! I will be hooked hard on this.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

This game runs like a freaking dream on PC

And it is brutal and will make some quit

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

Seems to run great on the Xbox X as well. I haven’t seen any issues. The game is phenomenal.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

Is there a difficulty setting Hahah. I've never played one of these games before and I'm enjoying it but also getting frustrated

on consoles it goes from 35 to 45 fps constantly which is a big issue...They should have capped it at 30fps

PC is locked 60fps 4k max settings. It is incredible

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

No difficulty setting you just have to learn to be patent and block their attacks at the right time. It took me several times to get the hang of it in the tutorial area. I was excited when I beat the first sub boss.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

I was super pumped last night when I finally beat the chained Ogre! I had him at 10% health and normally choose die so I don't afflict people with dragonrot but made the decision to resurrect to finish him. It was the right call lol.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

What are the effects of Dragonrot?

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

I reached the first major boss. Tried for 2 hours and couldn't beat her! Lady Butterfly is her name. Anyone get this far yet?

This game is complex with its controls for fighting, but man it feels rewarding when you take down a sub boss.

I played and beat Dark Souls 3, and imo so far this game appears that it will be harder. I have died countless times, and Dragonrot is spreading lol

I am sure you know this but you can cure Dragonrot.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

Tried defeating Juzou the Drunkard for like an hour before calling it a day. I have a good idea on how to beat the guy, it’s the execution that’s the problem. lol

Great game, though. Challenging and paced beautifully. Every victory no matter how minor feels rewarding. And most importantly the defeats don’t come off as cheap.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

Compared too dark souls 2/3 and Bloodborne, how difficult is it compared too those?

Believe it or not I would say harder. Partly because of the tendency to play it like a Soulborne or Dark Souls game is there, and those games it is not. Maybe once I shake that the game will become easier for me?

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

It’s harder because you can’t build up an OP character and plow through parts. You also can not pull in outside help on bosses.

That said, so far for me it is still very fun. It is not linear, so if you get stuck at the Butterfly boss, you may want to look where you are at in the normal world. For example, I am bouncing back to take on bosses that will strengthen my attack before I go back to her.

The difficulty of the game makes it more addictive. When you go back to parts that seemed hard, and clear them fast because your skill improved, and not your character, that is really awesome aspect of the game.

I have no idea how tough it can get yet, but From is great because their games are designed for you to improve at the base mechanics. And doing that is more rewarding than cheesing your way through a play through, IMO.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

I am on him currently as well but I might go back to another part so I can strengthen my attack. I actually almost beat him the first time I faced him but ended up dying. I was surprised I almost beat the first time.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

Has anyone figured out how to get the item way up on the ledge when the game first starts and you are in the cave? If you turn around and swim across the water you'll see a ledge way up and there's an item up there. I've tried everything including grabbing the rope and pulling myself up but the game wouldn't let me do that.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

... And as interesting as I may find this game, it will probably go right to the "not going to play this ever" pile, as Dark Souls did after one brief attempt. If I can't handle Dark Souls, I certainly can't handle something tougher.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

I'm not a big "Souls" player, but I did complete Bloodborne (shoutout to 42 for helping me through a section) and played a little of Dark Souls 3. I consider those very solid games, but I'm already more into Sekiro than I was either of those two games. Being a badass shinobi is just more interesting to me than the whole gothic lore. My expectations have been exceeded.

This game does everything Nioh did, but better. I mentioned the other day that it looked very fluid while watching videos, but I was still surprised by how well it plays when it got my hands on it. Everything from how you can climb walls and grab ledges, to the grappling hook mechanics are on point. The combat itself a lot of fun, and it feels rewarding to take enemies out. We've got a good one here.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

Lady Butterfly is no joke!

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One)
 

Took me 2 straight hours to beat that boss. I thought I had her beat after 1 hour but then .... you know.
