Games

Sekiro is a lot more lenient on its parrying than Souls is. Whenever you see an attack incoming just mash the hell out of the block button for 1-2 seconds, more often than not you'll get the parry. It's the only Fromsoft game that allows that without punishing it.

For some later bosses you'll have to actually get their timing down but that'll carry you far enough through the game for you to get your feet under you.

That sounds epic. I can feel that flow sometimes, looking forward to the rest of the game

I guess keep coming back to it, try AC6 see if it helps lol

The effects are the reason I haven't been able to get through the whole game. They literally happen so much and block so much of the action, I eventually can't see what the fuck the enemy is doing to properly block, dodge or attack because of all the sparks and flashes. 😩

The fights are so exciting and the action is super slick.

Definitely the best combat From has ever created in a game. I think the worlds of Dark Souls and Bloodborne are more interesting to me but Sekiro gives good universe too.

Yeah, most FromSoft games just feel intentionally clunky to me. Like the difficulty is artificial, purely because your character’s limbs seem to be full of birdshot. It always feels like the character is directly resisting my controls and fighting against me.

But Sekiro did away with all of that. The character feels snappy. He’s not weighed down. I never felt like I lost a fight because of an animation lock, or because my character was simply too sluggish. Every time I lost, I knew it was because I wasn’t fast enough as a player. And honestly, I prefer that. If I’m going to lose against a boss, I don’t want it to be due to some forced windup animation taking too long.

I love From games and it always bugged me that this one gave me so much trouble. I'm gonna beat it this time, I'm gonna plat this mf

I don't know if I've experienced the "click" yet but I'm progressing which is more than I could say for.previous playthroughs. I used to get stuck right in the beginning at the drunk, or with the spear shinobi hunter in the memory. I had gotten past them on one play through after a great deal of trial, but no further. I'm at Genichiro now, haven't beat him but I've only fought him once and I need spirit things.

Is my spoiler tag working? It does not show correctly for me

I think the problem with Sekiros dodge roll is that it is way shorter with 18 frames at 60 fps for the forward step and 12 frames for the sideways and backstep. If I remembered correctly dark souls has around 30 so a lot more gracious.

I personally step dodge only attacks which knock you back to easily deal alot of health damage

The AC 6 part was a joke, but it was the last From game I spent serious time with. As a Bloodborne player I wanted to evade everything, like I knew I was supposed to deflect but I just couldn't get it under my fingers. Mikiri counters and those low jump attacks were just lost on me, but this time it works.

Maybe ac6 did play a part because its so fast paced and intense. I don't think I played it that way initially, but by the time I had the platinum and was doing PvP the action was extremely intense and technical. So maybe
