Well, there goes the hope for a Bloodborne 2.

Sounded like Sean Bean doing narration. If so, I th I that is 2nd I’ve heard him in in past 2 days. He does have a great voice, but what I think is at least 2, 2 different games, c’mon it’s, whatever. Wish I could remember 1st I heard him in either yesterday or very recently...

That's what I was thinking too.

That is what makes it so awesome. We truly have no idea who is behind it. It could be made by the North Koreans.

Definitely interested in how this one turns out.

I kinda wonder why they didn't go back to Tenchu since that was more well known and it seems like would have been more hyped seeing a comeback. This seems like a similar enough game.

A lot of previews and gameplay videos from Gamescom are out. Here's Polygons.

The Souls games and Bloodborne can be notoriously uninviting, and that’s what fuels their sense of satisfaction. By contrast, Sekiro’s appeal lies in its careful consideration. Reading your enemies, perfecting the timing on deflecting attacks and creating clever openings: These are the keys to staying alive. Precision like the kind Sekiro requires of you isn’t rare for action games, even if it feels dissimilar from FromSoftware’s most recent series. In Sekiro’s case, however, we found ourselves playing it less like an action game, and more like the kinds of fighting games that make you study your opponents before striking.

Out next Friday. I unfortunately don't have time for this now, but it still looks really good.

Man this release date just snuck up on me. I really need to hold off on getting this right at release -- I just have too much to play and I keep abandoning games before I've finished them these days. It's a bad habit. When I do get it, it'll be on PC for sure.

RichC2 03-14-19 08:19 PM

Ah sweet! I've been looking for something to play lately and this looks like it'll do.

dsa_shea 03-17-19 03:07 PM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
Looking forward to this and already have it ordered. Just a bit disappointed that there is no online coop like the previous From Software games. Guess I'll have to pucker up and do it all by myself.

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
Oh crap, this looks great, but I'm hearing that it's even tougher than the Souls/Borne games... I ain't got no time to "git gud"!

Noonan 03-21-19 11:36 AM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
I have this ordered through Steam. Can't wait to dive in tomorrow.

mattysemo247 03-21-19 02:23 PM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
This game sounds really long too. Some reviews I skimmed mentioned playing between 30 to 50 hours.

RichC2 03-21-19 02:30 PM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
Cool, that seems to be about par for the course for FromSoftware (Demon's Souls was 32 - 47 hours, Dark Souls 3 was 30 - 45 hours, Dark Souls 1 was 47 - 60 hours, Bloodborne was 31 - 45 hours, etc; )

Even the semi-similar Nioh (Team Ninja) managed 35 - 62 hours.

Sure, but playing through without replaying segments due to dying, maybe 3 hours? ;)

Anyone try this out yet? I won't be able to dive in until after work. I pre-loaded last night so it would be ready for me.

RichC2 03-22-19 12:36 PM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
Not yet, I went with the PC version after hearing it had the same frame dips as Souls III on the non-X/Pro consoles.

OldBoy 03-22-19 05:24 PM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
so this is mostly RPG?

No, it's mostly not an RPG.
What gave you that idea?
It's an action game.
Read a review or two - they're out there.
Or go to youtube and put in "sekiro review", and multiple ones will show up for your viewing pleasure.

The internet is a place full of wonder. It's also a place where you no longer have to wonder.

OldBoy 03-22-19 08:44 PM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
With such low Gb dl, I’m surprised it’s so lush and long. Figured it would be 50+, but think I saw less then 13...

slop101 03-22-19 09:56 PM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
Let us know how hard it is - I'm staying away for now because I heard it was even more difficult than the Souls/Borne games.

RichC2 03-22-19 10:12 PM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
What's funny is so far, this is exactly what Nioh was sold to be but wasn't (Souls + Gaiden). I think Nioh controlled better, but I already like the game layout in this substantially better.

The only disappointing thing is the intro areas aren't a trial by fire like Bloodborne and Souls, kinda easy so far tho I'm sure that'll change

dsa_shea 03-22-19 11:23 PM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
I actually heard that this has more checkpoints than the other From Software games. Also, if you are good at parrying and riposting, you can kick some ass in this game.

OldBoy 03-23-19 12:03 PM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
how does space work on these games? why is a lush, long game such as this only 13GB, when most others are well beyond 20 and even way passed 50 on a lot of the newer games out now?

Maxflier 03-23-19 02:06 PM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
Think I’m about to shelf this one already. I don’t care for the combat at all.

There's tons of reasons why some games take up more space than others, and it doesn't always have to do with the "size" of the game. Does it have a ton of different textures? Those can take up extra space. Full motion video, audio, etc. And then on top of that, compression is an art onto itself, and From Software is pretty good at it. You can have the same exact game, and either have it fit 10gigs of space, or 20gigs - it all comes down to how far you can compress it without affecting the game in any way.

My 99 cent Amazon steelbook showed up today :lol: So I guess that's something, even though I don't have the game yet.

This game is kicking my ass. I definitely need to practice deflections better. Super fun otherwise.

RichC2 03-25-19 08:43 PM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
The combat grew on me a bit, the grappling hook adds a lot of interesting strategy, and the ability to fly by entire areas to eradicate long range nusainces before heading out to explore is killer.

Flying by a big bad discretely to get a drop on them is weirdly satisfying too. It's also kinda too easy to just overwhelm your enemy with your sword but I'm having fun with it.

Finally killed the boss on a horse; only to be greeted by the bull with flaming horns. This game has absolutely zero chill.

Noonan 03-28-19 09:25 AM

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - (2019 From Software) PS4, Xbox One
 
Made a bit more progress; took out the Drunkard who spits poison last night. Been stuck on him quite a while. Still haven't killed that stupid bull.
