Reviews came out like day before yesterday lol. And length is like some wear between 20 and 40 hours, ign said 50 but that seems longer than other reviews have stated.
Every Souls game feels like that with a certain boss the first ti me.
I would call it competent, but it's missing all of the eery strangeness of Souls games' voice acting.
They came out days ago and it took anywhere from 30-50 hours depending on hwo much they inted.
I really don't have time to play until Wednesday and really really want to play this now. Need to stop reading the thread.
But how?
If I rush him, I get maybe 15% of one health bar out before he breaks free, and he then insta-grabs me and kills me :P.
here is a guide (will spoiler tag it)
He is weak to fire. So if you have the Flame Breathing barrel, then use it. Or the Shinobi firecracker if you have it.
You can't sneak up on him. But you can rush him while he is chained and get some hits in.
In general just hit him once or twice and retreat, normally you will just keep hitting an enemy to get is posture and vitality down, not him. Hit and retreat is the best way. The Ogre can't guard and he has a big reach, so attack once or twice and retreat.
Fistfull of ashes and firecrackers stun him, so use them and attack, you can hit him 3 times with this tactic. But remember you can only do this every 15 seconds.

Yeah, almost an entire free bar, if the bar was one fourth of the size. I have literally hit it with fifteen attacks, five of which are while it's breaking free and it doesn't even take off a fourth of the bar.
It's really just a slow fight of attrition and it helps to make sure all of the surrounding enemies are dead as well so they don't interfere. The only real problem with the fight is the grab.
Use the flame prosthetic, but wait until after your first deathblow. If you can remove one bar without fire, you've pretty much got the fight. Otherwise, you're just wasting ammo since you are likely going to die. You really just want the Ogre to initiate an attack first, since the grab will almost 100% get you if you aren't moving while it starts. Just circle strafe and counter with a few hits after it does something. Don't attack first.

Yep, game is hard. But I still make constant progress, hardest so far was the Shinobi Hunter dude because I didn't know how the parry worked.
But it is definetly much harder than Souls Games so far, will see how the difficulty progresses once I get more used to the systems.
Also about the Ogre:

You can get a fire prostetic in the Estate. Oil Him, burn him -> 5-6 free hits. Try to the first Bar without and them spam him with that shit. Also JUMP over the lunge-grab, don't try to dodge
you can see where to find it here

It is in the fire.. ;o)
So how does the counter work when there's the red sign above the ennemy? For thrust it's easy, but was about sweep and grab? What's the timing? Just dodging when the guy is trying to grab you doesn't do anything
EDIT : nevermind, the guy at the main hub can train me about these, will try to catch the right timing

Sorry to ask again, but I cannot figure out how to assign quick items to left/right arrows on a controller. halp :(
LOL
When keeping it spoiler free goes real.
When fighting a enemy, sometimes you see red Japanese character above the head, what does this mean? Un-dogeable attack?
That's what I assumed but when I go into inventory there only options I have is A:Use and B:Back I don't see any option to equip.

With the left and right arrow you only change the object. You can use them with the up arrow
On the start menu there should be 5 boxes in a row you can assign items to.
I'll have to take a better look when I get home, thanks all.
so i've read that dragonrot can permanently lock you out of sidequests since the way to cure it is limited and you only have a few in the game... Is that true?
does dragonrot accumulate only if you die or everytime you use ressurect?

There's only one quick item slot - Up on controller
You can swap to other quick items with left and right on controller
You set up to 5 quick items you can go between in the menu. Literally first menu that appears when you press Start/Options/Menu
Finally beat the boss of the Hirata Estate! This game is hard as fuck, but it's also even moee rewarding than Soulsborne games.
No problem, here is where to find it for you and anyone else who had the same issue:
About the chained ogre fight, how I got a health bar "for free" every time:
It helped me the first time fighting him a lot but honestly after you get his attack pattern its a more or less an easy fight.
Run up, kill the two guys, run past the ogre and kill the guy on the left and then head back to the merchant-area and hide atop a roof or sth. The ogre will loose you and head back, sneak up from behind and get a stealth kill. Just one more bar to go from here on.
