Such a good point and it highlights why these games don't click with me. The only things is usually when i play and get to a boss, after a shit ton of deaths i do eventually "git gud" and beat him but i feel so stressed and mentally out of wack at that point that i dont feel any satisfaction or "sense of accomplishment". I just feel like doing something else.
What are you on about?
I dont get this perspwctive at all as a person who has been on board from Demons souls to Sekiro. Technically all the Souls games already have an easy mode (multiplayer), but if at some point there are not enough players or servers are shut down the easy mode is gone. Why would this be preferable to a simple pleb mode toggle? (Or pleb mode x2 since summoning is already a pleb mode.)
The press around this game made it a point that this wasnt going to be dark souls. I dont understand why so many people thought it would be dark souls or close to.
His videos aren't monetized, he's backed solely by patreon.
I did, actually.
Don't really think long videos is the best way to get clicks.
I mean he does these Jimpression videos regularly, he plays a game and shares his thoughts on them in a video. That's what most gaming youtubers and journalists do. Should he only do videos about games he really likes or something?
*looks at thread*
it's very obvious who didn't watch the video in here. verrrrrryyyyy obvious.
I'm saying he didn't say the reason he didn't like this game is because it's too hard in the video. I'm well aware that he says that the game is hard in the video.
Oh interesting, I'll read it thanks! Few years ago most popular videos were around 4 minutes in average.
and in that context, it's perfectly understandable why someone who *doesn't and has never enjoyed parry gameplay* might not enjoy Sekiro personally while still recognizing it is a well-made game and enjoyable for people who do like that gameplay.
But you are basically trying to achieve the same thing: To block/parry/deflect/whatever at the exact right moment to gain an advantage on your enemy.
Except it's a whole lot less punishing than what parrying in souls games is like.
Hmm.. how so? Tapping L1 right at the correct moment is parrying, right?
It just feels to me that he should have just said "This game is too hard for me to overcome, so I don't like it even though I like other things about it." That's what I got from watching the video. And also him not liking the parrying makes it even more bizarre because the entire central basis of the combat system is parrying. There's nothing really cheap in the combat system as far as deaths go - if you've died, 99.9% of the time it's your own fault. There are a select few moves that bosses do however that track your movement and it's a little irritating; but even that requires a little more "getting gud" to overcome.
I agree to the first bit. It is indeed less punishing in Sekiro.
Watch the video. And two I found the game not that difficult due to the wonky AI. Three, the game was boring to me. Many others feel the same way.
Because if he doesn't make it perfectly clear he doesn't think it's bad, the fanboys will have a meltdown and attack him. See those who clearly haven't watched the video here saying they hate him.
