Finished it with all the endings, and honestly it's the easiest from software "souls" game for me

For those that played Sekiro, did you finish the game?

I think there should be a "No, but I'm still playing" option
In any case, I got the game for my birthday, played in front of my friends, got laughed at (in all good fun, they tell me they sucked at those parts too) because I died, stopped playing because of my work and recently came back for a bit. Steamed for my friends to watch and laugh at my pain (they suffered as well) in dying so many times to Lady Butterfly.
Still plan on finishing the game.

Stopped playing after ~30 hours. Was too hard for me.
For reference... I finished all Souls Games and Bloodborne without much troubles.

I'm playing it right now, it's fucking awesome. I got stuck on the second miniboss for the longest time after buying it at launch though.
Once you get better at parrying it's a lot more empowering, I've found. I had to completely untrain myself from the habit of trying to dodge away from everything.
Nope.
I didn't get passed Lady Butterfly.
I didn't have the patience to farm spirits currency for my tools every time I wanted to retry her, Blood Borne already maximized my patience with the blood vials.
I also had some issues with how weightless the character felt and enemy aggression cones was the entire field.

Yep, four times even. During my second run the game REALLY clicked with me and I felt like I mastered the combat. Beating the bosses and minibosses easily after struggling so much with them in my first run was immensely satisfying. Right after my second playtrough I did my third and fourth. Fantastic game.
Technically. I got the bad ending then went on vacation for two weeks and couldnt be bothered to grind out the good path.
Beat it and it was great. I really felt myself get better and better after each attempt at a boss. I would start by barely getting a hit in without dying then by the end I wasn't getting hit at all. Lady Butterfly, Genichiro, and the Owl fights are top notch. My hint for this and other similar games would be not to try to find a cheap way around things. Just knuckle down and keep trying.
I was really burnt out by the time I reached the final boss and just dropped it.
I forced myself through a big chunk of the late game content having zero fun with it anymore honestly so I just said fuck it despite my inner From fanboy being in denial.

Is she your first boss? If so, you can just go back to Ashina Outskirts and make more progress there before trying her again. Killing bosses give you Memories, which can be used to increase your attack power, and you also get to increase your vitality and posture by killing more minibosses.
You don't have to fight her early, even though most people do. She's a really really really hard first boss, and I died more to her than in my entire playthrough of Bloodborne. Then my second boss was a joke, and it was clear that he should be my first.
Finished it and currently it's in the race to be my GOTY. I'll just repeat what I said in previous Sekiro threads, it's the easiest "overwolrd" FROM game but the hardest "boss encounters".
Nope, I don't think I ever even fought a boss, I hated the parry style combat the game had going on. I will go back to it at some point though.
Nah, but I would like to try and give it another go. Nothing to do with difficulty - the atmosphere of the game just felt boring and uninspired to me. I can appreciate those who loved the more "realistic" approach but it was a hard transition going from Dark Souls/Bloodborne to this.
Played it like nuts when it released, but the 4-phase final boss was the killer for me.. It was too much.
That's unfortunate as the bosses are the best part. Once the parry mechanic & the poise meter clicked for me I was hooked.
Nope.
First FS game for me that I dropped. I really didn't like anything about that game other than the aesthetic the longer I thought about it. Got to the Heaven Village or whatever and was just over it.
Yeah same except I didn't stick with it. I had better things to do with my time like research what kind of kitchen sponges won't smell like burnt rubber after a week of use. By far From Softwares weakest game to date and I'm counting pretty much their whole catalog

It's called Fountainhead Palace. Remember that, as I will be testing you on it later.
Technically no, but I'm literally at the final boss. I did everything I could do up until that point; defeated every boss including
But after defeating those I was kinda done with the game and never properly tried the final boss and I kinda dropped it at that point. The first FROM souls-like game I didn't finish (counting from Demon's Souls). Brilliant game though.
Owl (Father) and Demon of Hatred.
I finished it, but only because I'm stubborn. It didn't resonate with me as much as other From Software games. I think it's the weakest game I've played from them. Even Ninja Blade was more fun.
This is the only From Software game I felt compelled to complete multiple times.
The combat and design is just on another level compared to Dark Souls/ Bloodborne.

I kind of got bored around
It just didn't capture me like the Soulsborne games. Environment and storytelling was too monotone. Kinda didn't feel compelled to push on given the difficulty.
the ape boss thing
Haha deal. Its locked in my brain along with all the other PTSD
Nope, didn't get very far. It's pretty much tradition for me at this point to see play it a Fromsoft game a lot at first, hit some wall and take a extended break, and then eventually return. Happened with Dark Souls, and Bloodborne. I started a new playthrough a couple weeks ago, but that flame hog is just a bad miniboss so that kind of stalled it, then Death Stranding and Fallen Order came out so those took priority.
I sure did, and I also got the platinum. Some of the last bosses tok me dozens of tries. I was adamant in not going online to look up strategies, but I must admit that I used some tips for few of the optional ones like demon of hatred. It was still an incredible though fight. Very good and satisfying game to beat, and probably the most challenging of all the Souls game to platinum because how difficult the bosses was.
He's not bad once you get his timing (I know big shocker) but be prepared for the game to take its already small enemey and boss set type and recycle them over.. and Over and OVer and OVEr and OVEEERRR
Totally, got the platinum as well.
Took me like 5hs to beat the final boss and another 5hs the secret end game boss.
Then I played new game + and new game ++ in easy mode and obliterated every enemy in the game.

Oh, for real? I thought she was a critical path boss. Had no idea about a second route.
OP
OP
i got stuck in the spearguy sub boss in the past, then i found a secret passage then i got stuck in the drunk giant boss, my brother got stuck in the thunder boss guy
I really do like the game but it's the first of it's kind that I haven't played non-stop until the platinum. Well, I haven't gotten the plat in Dark Souls 2 but I have played through it to NG+
