I agree to some extent but some of the grab animations are most certainly cheap.
I will have to see if I agree with you or not. So far, none of the grab animations have been egregious. They certainly seem to be more generous than the typical fighting game grab animation.
That being said, maybe I am not far enough into the game to have seen the truly cheap grabs. Maybe they are far less telegraphed further down the line.
I didn't try it because I had the item only once but you could try confetti, judging from the item description. I could try it now myself though. Found the item 5 times recently. :)
Aw, it's fine. Not every game is for everyone.
I still regret buying Hyrule Warriors for the Switch day one, but apparently a lot of people loved it.
Hey, at least you tried, duder. You will certainly not be alone. There will be lots of people who will follow a similar path. These games are quite simply not for everyone. However, at least you gave it a shot.
I feel like my post covered those questions. But the "where" is talking to the healer at the main hub shrine near the sculptor, when she gives you the healing item you use it at any of the resting shrines. The "when" is any time the rot begins to spread to other characters, you get "items"/debuffs that notifies you when this is happening. I'm pretty sure the "when" is any time you die enough times and can be at any time during the game really.
Well there's a 'boss' in the word mini-boss. Sure a thousand grammar police posters will try to argue but it is what it is
Now if there's some symbol or something that we can go by that would be ace*
Guys, game runs great out of the box on my old system.. I7 3770k and GTX 1060 6GB (only thing that is new lol). Even dual monitors.
In the tutorial when you are going to the secret passage to escape, under the bridge and opposite of where you came in - there is an item way up there..how do I get it?
Can someone point me in the right direction? Been banging my head against the wall, stuck and going in circles.
I'm at Senpou
It's probably something really easy I'm overlooking...

Temple,
I reached the hall inside and unlocked the shrine with a dude praying next to it and there's these dudes that shoot centipedes around the hall, and 3 spear wielding guys just outside out sitting in the hall, and I can't seem to figure it out where I'm heading next. Going further seems to take me to a cave that loops around to a cliff where I can grapple to the start of the shrine entrance.

I think when it comes to Souls games, there's a sort of rigid order in the way you tackle boss fights, it's very much linear.
Sekiro feels different though, like you can take down Lady Butterfly for example as your second boss fight but for someone else she could easily be their sixth or seventh. Idk why but I kind of prefer the more linear manner where you have a strict order when it comes to boss fight progression.
I feel you. It makes it harder to describe in a Spoiler tag which boss you need help wit
Thanks for all the replies guys.
Anyone knows where can I get fire crackers? Is it a shinobi tool for the arm?

I love this approach on that note she was actually my first boss haha
I feel like this is just not true at all, you can easily do bosses out of order in Souls games. There are some bosses with a rigid linearity, but plenty of optional branching areas just like the dream sequence was in Sekiro.
The distinction between "mini-boss" and "boss" feels like pointless semantics to me, any enemy that has a name and health bar I just treat like a major fight and they all feel like bosses anyway, easy or not. Dark Souls had plenty of bosses that felt like mini-bosses but were presented as bosses like Pinwheel. It feels kind of arbitrary to be hung up on the actual distinction.
You buy it for 500 gold. The guy on top of the building with the Ravens.
This game owns hard. From Software injected the art of footsies into their bread and butter and it works perfectly. Whiff punishing all day!
First defeat using stealth all the mobs, then hide for a while and do a sneak attack on the drunkard, then when he has only 1 life meter talk to the samurai at the pond and 2 vs 1 him.
I've killed 5 main bosses and some encounters are really cheap, don't lie. Specially when the core mechanic it's most for 1vs1 battle and you're constantly facing groups of enemies.
really tickled by which of my skill points seem to be going entirely to waste
basically never use arts, they all feel too slow. super never use midair combat arts, rarely get use out of any active attack thing, but latents and fang + blade are giving a lot of value
I'm like 30 minutes in, but the deflect mechanics feel straight out of Metal Gear Rising or DMC's Royal Guard. I'm still learning all the enemy attack animations through trial and error, but it's really not bad. I think this game is far more fair than Souls games, because I never feel like I'm underleveled, and I vastly prefer this kind of game design.
Fucking A++++++++++++++
Also, I found my favorite control scheme:
Attack on triangle, Deflect on circle, Jump on X, and Action/Loot is square
Hold R2 for easy Run control with thumb still free to do a running attack, and easy access to mid-battle Step Dodge
Grappling hook feels best as a shoulder button, so I put it on R1.
Prosthetics are all controlled via L1/L2.
I switched D-Pad up and down because of personal preference.
The only thing I'm toying with is switching the face buttons so that Attack is square and Deflect on triangle, making Action/Loot as circle. I think I like this set-up the best, though.

you basically never need to fight groups of enemies in my experience in this game so far
Which attacks are killing you? I'll try to help out if I can. I beat him playing fairly lame, just punishing big openings and backing off, or deflecting his obvious double swings. There was also a way to jump off of his head that I did once by accident and it seemed to do pretty good posture damage.
There's a vendor very close by the lady and her son, in the area just after the first mini-boss samurai general, look on one of the raised peaks.
So far I only noticed one frame rate drop (PS4Pro) at this one area when there was a bunch of fire everywhere. Maybe it drops from 60 to 40 or so but its noticeable.
When you're playing this game, fps drop is the least of your problems. you're trying to figure out how to kill these bosses
It's at Hirata Estate when you run on the roof right before Drunkard
You're much further along than me, so I take your word for it, but so far it has been relatively easy to split troops up with ash or stones. And enemies don't hear that far apparently.
Combined with the indications in your hub that shows you how alarmed other guards are and if they are aware at all helps a lot to be relatively stealthy. But like I said, I'm not that far along, so all of this might change quickly.
I remember that merchant. Thanks guys.
Thanks to both of you! Watched the video which is what others are saying, just stealth kill the mob then sneak attack him and get the guy to help. I'll try it when home!
Not counting the big 3 Sekiro is no.1 on Steam right now with 108k.
