Jesus, I thought the dragon rot would be gradual. But I just died a few times for the first time, got a cutscene and 2 of the NPCs already got the rot at the same time...

one of the npc´s will always get rot, no matter what you do.
Yo this game is hard. Anyone trying to play this like souls or BB is in for some frustration. If you can't parry then you done.
Please tell me the sculptor guy can't die from the rot. Would suck to lose the ability to set new shinobi tools lol.
Played for 8 hours yesterday and finished two of the "main bosses" and quite a few of the "mini-bosses". This game is hard and I adore every second of it. Can't wait to spend the entire weekend with this thing.
Though after unlearning my Dark Souls habits, the parry system and emphasis on blocking and counter attacking is really really satisfying. My fight with
was one of the most intense fights I've had out of all the Soulsborne games I've played. Beating them felt so satisfying.

Yeah, not a fan of stealth in this game. Enemies somtimes having wall hack while simultaneously being blind & deaf at the same time doesn't help at all. Utterly inconsistent and janky.
Movement is also pretty janky - jumping and running in particular. Platforming without the grappling hook (which is an automated process) doesn't feel good.

How to you upgrade your prosthetic tools? I found several material that are supposed to be upgrade materials according to their descriptions.
After beating a certain boss you get an item that you take back to the sculptor, which then unlocks the upgrade menu.
How do you hit those carps that swim away like crazy? I'm hiding in the reeds and charging my attack, but it never connects and then they're gone
Wouldn't be a from game without getting all worked up over missing side quests the first time through.
I'm so ready for this!!!! Beat DMC V just in time; March has been an absolute KILLER month for gamers
Are there any PS4/PC or 30 vs 60 fps comparison videos out there? Can't see any besides the IGN one which doesn't really show much combat.
I have the ps4 ce not sure if i should double dip for the pc version ~_~ .

I'm at the Oger an honestly a bit mad because they pull of the same animation-tracking-instant-turning thing, when dodging, they did in Bloodborne and Dark Souls. Highly frustrating, especially when you think for a split second you avoided the hit, the enemy then skip frames and is magically at your angle. Not cool.
Oh wow the game is actually teaching me its mechanics. I'm impressed. Bloodborne never did that!
Played the game on steam for an hour this morning before work and man, this game is fantastic. Parrying feels damn good. Also playing it with max settings at a locked 60 fps is going to spoil me for when I play the game on my main console, the ps4, when it arrives on Monday. I always play the "souls" games on my playstation consoles for the trophies and because those just feels like my souls consoles
F this game. That the stealth section in the beginning of the game with the Where are you supposed to go. Is this supposed to be fun?
The combat is cool but why are there enemies hidden away in mini boss areas that show up after a minute and back stab you. This game seems way less fair than From's previous games cause you don't have any area control moves/horizontal sweeps so 3+x vs 1 fights are impossible and hiding for ages to just stealth kill one guy is a waste of my time

This game man. I'm about 2ish hours into it, and I can't believe how good it feels. I am dying a lot, and the game's world makes me feel very guilty for doing it, but I'm loving exploring/taking risks and learning the areas and combat. When I found my first "shortcut" back to an idol, I knew that I was playing a Souls-like, be damned what anyone says.
It does? How does that work? I've seen people going back to previous boss areas and no one is there anymore. You just get teleported to an arena or something?
This game!
So far it's not that hard, I'm two hours in - the only Souls game I played before has been Dark Souls for around 8 hours.
So far, I'm playing this as a stealth game. The indicators are not perfect, but good enough and it's so much fun to split a patrol up with some ash, take one out, vanish to the top of the buildings and repeat until no one is left. It's been relatively linear so far and I just cleaned up the first outpost with 8-10 guards including a Hammer guy. I'm still bad at normal fighting, so I try to be death from above most of the time.
Most of the time there has also been a stealth path to take the most dangerous enemy out first.
3 deaths so far, atmosphere and visuals are fantastic, gameplay is too. I'm just really far away from being a natural with using the shoulder buttons for attacks.
Playing this on PC with a 970, 8GB RAM and an SSD on a i5-4460 - Everything on high, rock solid 60FPS.

German. Voice actors are pretty good, especially the protagonist.
Any recommended skills? I'm sitting on 9 points currently, still only have the Shinobi & Prosthetic trees. Should I wait for better stuff?
Played for 6 hours, I'm at the drunkard, if he didn't have so many guys with him it'd be more willing to keep trying to beat him. I'm not good at hard games so surprised I even got this far.
does anyone remember where Miyazaki was sleeping when the Sekiro teaser happened at Games Awards 2017?
now i know why he slept
"man these games are all boring as fuck" lol

Reminder that Polygon put up a Rot Essence and Dragonrot Guide that's pretty good

The skill that lets you counter thrust attacks by dodging towards the enemy is a must have
edit: It's called "Mikiri Counter"
So far, I love this game although it's extremely punishing. At many points you feel completely helpless since you can't just grind and become more powerful like in the Souls series. The few upgrades you get in vitality, health etc are mostly bound to bosses as well, so if you are stuck somewhere there isn't much you can do apart from learning to fight better. It is so satisfying when you learn how to use a new trick or obtain an arm upgrade that completely transforms bosses from impossible to relatively easy.
yes, BUT they keep saying "Resurrect".. and that is the wrong term.. you can resurrect after a death (when you get 2 choices, die or resurrect). AND YOU CAN DIE. When you DIE and respawn at an idol you get ROT, not when you resurrect..
Yes, this skill is a must and makes a lot of encounters 100x easier.
