Sekiro

After some debating, I decided to turn it off. We'll see how it goes and decide if it makes sense to turn it back on.

Your time to post :)

It's been a couple months since the bot has been reworked and posted content here. I'm checking in regularly to delete the posts that don't make sense, but apart from that, I let the community give their feedback in form of upvotes and downvotes and comments.

From what I've gathered, the reception has been good so far with some negative reactions here and there.

Do you guys have any thoughts or suggestions? Do let me know :)

I'd appreciate it if you visited, if you're interested in the game.

Cheers!

First time touching the game since a few weeks after initial release, and I really, really love that they introduced the "inner" versions of my two favourite bosses. I'm only at the second gauntlet as I haven't gotten the other ending yet but I love how the final boss of that gauntlet fucks my shit up. I can't tell of the new perilous attack at the beginning of the combo is a stab or sweep though? I'm sad there is no DLC (Tomoe~) but I'm quite happy with the free content update, I'm looking forward to unlock more stuff in the gauntlets. Did you do them? Was it challenging for you?

I finally beat him

After a good 20-30 tries I finally had him beat, but panicked when I didn’t get the kill prompt…tried going on his side without wanting to get too close to the cliff-no go. Set up the camera to record my bad luck only to catch the actual victory when I realized I wasn’t going to fall off by getting behind him entirely.Lesson learned? Never defeat a boss at the edge of a cliff.

I may have done this a few weeks ago, but I had to step away from even looking at the game for a hot minute afterwards haha. I'm not a gamer. I've hardly played really anything, and almost never to completion. I bought this game in 2019 and got my shit wrecked, so I put it off until this summer, where now I'm retired and have nothing but time. It took me 7 playthroughs, 240 hours, and nearly 5 years to hit plat. I'm trying to do the gauntlets now. Sekiro has become my 2nd favorite game (RE4 is always number 1) and MAN. I just love it. This subreddit has helped me a bunch during my journey to Plat. Thank you guys.

I've tried to play sekiro three different times and each time I quit and frustration. After asking this community for help and watching some tips and video guides I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. This fight was incredibly fun and I still can't believe I beat him on my second try!

[Original Post]

I'm not anywhere close to being good at this game, but I managed to beat him on my fourth try. I had more trouble with the previous warriors on foot.

Personally i tried all i could and explored as much as i could before i managed to beat him.

It took weeks, a thousand YouTube guides and countless hours of defeat but I finally did it. At 2:45 on a Friday afternoon, I beat Isshin.I’m jet lagged, dejected from saying too much to a woman, and I feel behind in life, but I can say happily say that today, is a beautiful day.

I see a lot of people saying that Sekiro is the hardest game, but I had much more difficulty playing Bloodborne and Elden Ring. Is there someone else who agree?

I bought this game back in January when it had its winter sale on xbox. I grew up on COD and other similar games, so this was only my second souls game, right after Elden Ring. To say it was hard and frustrating on my first play through would be putting it to lightly. I struggled so hard that it took me until the end of June to finish my first play through(I also deleted the game for about 2 months after dying to that shit throwing ape for the 80th time). But after hours of grueling practice and hundreds of deaths later, I feel like I’ve truly mastered this game, and nothing has made me feel more accomplished with this game than getting that final achievement(all skills unlocked). I know this game was somewhat of a side project for Miyazaki, but I wish he would take the time to make another. Elden Ring was fun but the play style of Sekiro is something I have not found an equal to as of yet. 11/10 game and I will be playing many more playthroughs to come.

Admittedly I suck at Sekiro. I have 58.9 hours in the game and haven't been able to get past Genichiro. I've died to him at least a hundred times now. Have explored everything else up to this point that I can, including defeating all the other bosses up until him. Completed the Hirata Estate, defeated Lady Butterfly without too much problem, practiced for hours and hours with the tutorial npc. Read the guides about how to beat Genichiro by being aggressive, deflecting and learning his moves, mikiri counter etc but every time I get to his third phase I don't have enough health to survive the jumping lightning deflections even with several prayer necklaces and 8 gourd seeds at the very beginning... people talk about the game finally "clicking" for them at this point. For me it's a dead end.Tried again to beat him today for 8 hours but couldn't. My computer was starting to overheat so I went to plug in a fan next to it and slipped. The computer came unplugged and accidently shutdown. When I plugged it back in and tried to restart, blue screen of death. Tried a recovery USB, said system could not be repaired. Tried a Windows USB, says can't be installed on any of my hard-drives. PC is totally bricked for now. I'm going to have to individually remove each hard-drive and save what I can. Hopefully my main drive isn't completely corrupted.I think this is the sign I'm done with this game. It's not for me. In retrospect it's not worth spending 60 hours just to get stuck in the first half of the game, bricking a $2000 PC and potentially losing thousands of hours of work if my hard-drives aren't recoverable. Today sucks.

I stealth kill him and then he does his attacks and I parry them but his posture goes away do quickly I don't know if I can't beat him like this

[Original Post]

Took a few attempts to get to way of tomoe but man was that amazing! I only got the lightning reversal once but either way it was fantastic! Will definitely be doing replaying the memory a few times haha

After death by a thousand stomps and fireballs it is done.

Genuine question. I bought this game a while back but have a very low end PC so ive never been able to run it, however im going to be housesitting in a couple weeks and have been given access to their PC, which is far better and will definitely be able to run it smoothly.That leaves me from 10am Friday to 6pm Sunday to beat the game if I were to try. Would that be at all possible or am I living in a different reality for even asking.I have never played a fromsoft soulslike before, but have dabbled in the 2D soulslike genre and console action RPGs with vaguely similar combat mechanics. Im aware that neither would be even close to what sekiro can dish out but im persistent and quick to learn. I also dont sleep a lo and rarely touch grass if that improves my chances.edit: ive seen streams and watched playthroughs, im very aware of the story and spoilers so will be rushing through required bosses. this is more of a test of skill than an overall game experience for me

Well, this somehow happened.I'm on my first NG, got to Juzou, and killed him in one try. After removing his second life bar and killing him for realsies, he decided he wanted to be frens. And oddly, the normal puppet timer didn't apply. I ran around with him for a few minutes. I finally had to kill him again in order to proceed through the door he's blocking. Kinda weird.
