Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

changed my mind too, this is nothing like the previous games

I think it's good but my thoughts so far are that I don't see it surpassing Dark Souls/BB at all for me

Nioh is way more like Dark Souls than this game is

I discovered the purple ninja guy and he killed me before i even had a proper look at him.

I can't beat the 2nd phase of lady butterfly.

chained ogre was really easy once i got the fire arm

mate I just beat Butterfly..I was thinking it's an epic fight, but I realised I've been giving these enemies too much respect and not being aggressive enough, falling into my Dark Souls tactics

anyway friend gave his strat for Lady Butterfly (in Hirata Estate) and it's actually ridiculous how trivial the fight is

I beat her phase 1 in 15 seconds with it Phase 2 is exactly the same just after you wait for the summons to disappear or dispel them

don't want to give it to you as that's half the fun, unless you want to know

Nah i beat her first try today. Must be tired last night.

I just dodge and then attacked her throughout and it worked. She is easy to stun lock once you get the timing right.

Hirata estate was a pos though.


What was your strategy?

Wtf is with that serpent?

stop blocking and just dodge to her side and attack infinitely, same as yours by the sounds of it

also sounds like you did all of hirata estate before the main story, i was progressing them equally, think that serpent is an illusion, just a guess because you get some of those illusion seeds just after that part, maybe not though

failed that stealth section a few times smh

Yea i finished the hirata estate before the main mission. Felt like I had to. Ogre was frustrating me too much.

Must say i am not a big fan of the soundtrack so far.

guy on that horse lmao. wtf is that gimmick?

you hearing these rumours of fromsoft's upcoming game fella?

GRRM lead writer, credible rumours apparently, but is it April first already somewhere?

This harder or easier than dark souls?

I read that lol, sounds like utter bollocks to me.

hmm easier since you get punished less

Blazing Bull LMAOOO WTF is this?

I saw someone go against that on stream lmao, he didn't seem that hard once you realised what he's weak against but watching a big Bull charge around was funny.

What setting are you playing on, Firenze? Easy or very easy?

havent played a game in months and I'm already monstering through, because I'm GOAT

already far further ahead than RG, oddly I am only just now starting to really enjoy it, once the enviroments varied aesthetically (area im at atm is one of the best they've done, really beautiful and packed full of secrets)

Blazing Bull's actually one of the hardest bosses RG lmao, ridiculous, that's what ppl have told me and it's just a very frustrating boss, took me so many attempts..until I landed on a strat, which is basically every boss in this

utilise the firecrackers when u need to get in some hits when it's going wild, I only ever attacked when it charged me with the headbutt, then I parried it, beat it in like 30 seconds doing that

game is Bloodborne tier creepy in places

Watched a mate fight "Isshin, The Sword Saint" Looked like a pretty crazy fight. Toughest boss in the game, apparently.

You know how I play lol

I am addicted to it but i am not getting enough time to smash it. Hopefully the weekend.

I haven't bought the firecracker prosthetic yet but i will soon. It feels like i am still in the early phase of the game.

just had an epic boss fight, was frustrating until I remembered that the mikiri counter was a thing

Yea that bull was a 1 minute job after figuring out the tactics.

you faced 7 ashina spears guy yet?

Yeah, I'm pretty far into the game now I reckon, over halfway. I'm really enjoying it.

I cheesed the spear guy, I fell off the stairs behind him and noticed he kept attacking me while he was on them and his attacks went over my head but he didn't fall off the stairs, so I just kept jump attacking him

I've killed every mini-boss i've fought except the headless guy and another that inflicts terror

the mini-bosses have been the best part so far, I've only really liked one boss fight, maybe two (Hirata Estate old woman but it was too easy)

Really liking the story too, still obscure enough to please DS/BB fans but way more heavy handed so you don't have to work too hard to understand what's going on

Yea I am loving the game. Got that feeling back where you get excited about which area to explore first.

I can do the mikiri counter attack on that spear guy but he is a tank ffs. I like how they always give you the option to sneak on him to get his first life out of the way.

This guy is impossible

who, oh...yeah, just cheese him like I did IMO, I saw a lot of ppl saying he's OP

you only get a prayer bead from him anyway IIRC..and a sense of satisfaction, I guess

Yea it's a matter of pride.

went the other way for now. Another mini boss that was so easy in comparison.
