I'm not giving up though, just beat SoS and hopefully the game flourishes on DmD-difficulty!

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Official Launch Trailer
- Thread starter Masagiwa
- Start date
Yeah, I'm still gonna play with Japanese voices on because I like them better, but I don't have a problem with the English voices.
At 2:19/20, is that a combination of the axe and flame vent? Might be confirmation of upgrade tree synergies

Don't do this to my heart. I'm trying to stay strong here. It's gonna be fun watching this trailer after I've beaten the game.
Could also just be a regular upgrade for the axe
But still, the axe slam but on fire and explosive stood out
Seems like a regular upgrade for the axe.
That's Bloodborne.
Oh, was there an image in the post? Using my work laptop and it blocks some sites.
Said it before but the animations and moves really seem to illustrate the difference between the single player focus versus designing with multiplayer in mind. So many of your attacks would be so unfair in a game that would have to be fairly balanced for PvP. And the enemy/boss attacks look more intimate, intricate, and in your face, solely focused on dealing with you instead of needing to be viable in co-op
Glad to see they're still doing the music-video like launch trailers. The Bartholomew trailer for Dark Souls was one of my favorite in the lead up to this game.
This is also my official point to stop looking at trailers/impressions. I've seen more than enough to know I'm in day 1.

I disagree. The Bloodborne trailer didn't use a well known song (I googled, but couldn't tell if the song used was an existing song or one created just for the trailer), and it didn't feature any character dialogue. The Bloodborne trailer was much more nebulous and enigmatic, which is exactly what a Souls' game should be. By contrast, the Sekiro trailer felt like a highly homogenized, generic action game trailer. (in my opinion)
So much for the narrative that reviews were being held back to avoid boss spoilers. Looks awesome, and it's great to have confirmation that the game goes to really weird places.
Bloodborne and the Souls games didn't have a voiced protagonist with a backstory and a (seemingly) less cryptic narrative like Sekiro, nor were they straight-up action games like Sekiro
Sekiro is less nebulous and enigmatic than Bloodborne or Souls, at least in what has been shown. A named voiced protagonist (complete with dialogue choices) with a clear motivation. Even the item descriptions are less esoteric
Also this isn't a Souls game
That's because Sekiro has a story told by cutscenes too and a main character that has backstory.
Which Spoilers? All the trailer really gives away is enemy design.
Anyway game looks fantastic. Traversal seems has a strong focus and I'm liking the almost Soul Caliber like battles. Day One.
Fantastic trailer and that shot of the Buddha took my breath, this game is going to be special. As for spoilers I've never put much weight into seeing a Fromsoft boss aside from those which are story related since fighting them is 60 percent the fun while 30 goes to the theme.
That got me hype. English VA is mostly fine but I think I'll be playing with Japanese VA. I just hope I'll be good enough to finish the game, what they've shown has been great and I really want to be able to see it all.
No way I could beat those bosses alone. I'll wait for reviews.
For a lot of people that's spoilers. I'd say a good little bit of story spoilers is in there as well.
Reviews doesn't make it any easier though, let's say the game gets a 90+ on metacritic, would that make you more interested in overcoming the challenge?
Also you shouldn't set yourself up for failure, beating the impossible is the reason why you play these games, the first time I played Dark Souls I had no idea that I'm actually gonna beat it, it's the best kind of experience gaming can offer. A journey that completely depends on you.

If reviewers who normally suck at action games beat the game, I'm willing to give it a shot.
Oh man I still didn't play Dark Souls 3 DLCs or even Dark Souls remaster...
I only watched the teaser and the first trailer. I trust From Software!

Should also be noted that the bloodborne trailer was almost 100% stuff you encounter in the first 2-3 areas. But, i guess we have no idea how much content was shown off here, lots of the areas we've seen in the trailers and previews. (and one leak from the early areas that wasn't supposed to be shown in the preview recording). Looks like, mostly, 3 new bosses in that trailer, and maybe that rooftop area was brand new. won't make much sense out of context of the full game.
Well that trailer was spoilery as fuck. But whatever, looks amazing. More Bloodborne vibes than before for sure now. I can't wait.
Yep...GotY. Nothing will come close....
Just kidding, that's Bloodborne Lol
I platinum it yest. Both me and a friend. Sekiro preordered.
This Q1 is killing it... one great game after the another, and I sended Bloodsouls vibes in the last boss scene in the trailer <3
