It's amazing once you get the skill that heals you after a deathblow =)

I'm annoyed because I was just trying to get the hell OUT of there and restock my damn healing items but the game put a fog wall in my way so I couldn't do that and put me in front of an insane bull that always managed to hit me during my Idol animation no matter where I tried to hide. Normally against most midbosses there's at least enough room for you to hide and Idol out if you run into them by mistake,
Are you surprised I'm not a fan of dying when I lose fucking resources for doing so AND get punished by having my NPCs get sick?
Definitely. Without a stamina bar, the only things holding you back are your own reflexes and decision making skills.
I had assumed it was the weird person carrying the heir away (the one with the mask). I haven't played the game at all so I don't know what happens in future chapters.
I find it odd to complain about game design when you ignore key aspects of it and suffer the consequences therefrom.
NPCs will stop talking to you about side quests once they're sick. They'll say the first sentence of what they would normally say and then just start coughing and end the conversation.
It's not hard to cure Dragonrot.
Ah come to ooooon. Then I go through the burning place and come to a corner where 5 different enemies are at one tiny spot.
This is bullshit. Like I said, it's just hard for the sake of being hard, that's not fun at all and design wise absolutely awful. I don't see the fun in this and I'm a f'n Souls veteran.

you should really not think of dragonrot as a punishment. treat it like it's there to mess with you. it might as well be "every time you die, someone adds a stone to a big pile of stones." why would you care how many stones are in the pile?
Totally, after tiptoe-ing around enemies groups and wasting a lot of time, I found it much more fun to jump into the fray take out as many as I can and then run away if it gets too hot. Next level hit & run souls gameplay!
I think some people got so used to steamrolling Soulsborne games that they are genuinely confused now.
Agreed. It's challenging but nothing outside of what we've already seen in Bloodborne or Nioh.
So...
Can y'all please mark what your spoilers are about in vague terms?
The game design flaw I'm talking about is the Dragonrot system and the fact that death punishes you so heavily by taking your resources and skill point progress away.
Getting ganked by a boss is annoying but manageable. What pisses me off is the fact that I now have to deal with MULTIPLE death-punishment mechanics, all of which just make the experience less fun to deal with.
If anyone say that stupid shit again, tell them most games these days are ''easy for the sake of being easy''.
The sooner they abandon the tether to the past the sooner they'll be able to enjoy this.
Accurate, but they won't want to. Because a lot of people are pissed off that this isn't Bloodborne 2.
Or you could y'know, just ignore it? People have different opinions. No need to gatekeep.
If you don't want to play a challenging game you don't have to. But saying it's a "design flaw" is way beyond hyperbolic IMO. You're just not adapted to it yet and you're failing to see or observe things (like with eavesdropping) because you're relying too much on past habits.
Play Sekiro and stop trying to play Dark Souls 4.
You need to go to the front entrance of the burning mansion to get the key, which you get to by the more straight route back before the burning mansion. Snap seeds is for what comes after the door, no hidden door.
Mid-Game Spoiler and question

Genichiro at the castle, wow what a fight. He was only the 3rd boss I encountered. Now I have to decide between helping Kuro or protect him aacording to the rules. I got spoiled that there was a decision which could drastically cut the game short. Is this it? If so I'm going to help Kuro, don't want the game to end so early
This is just my opinion but I think it's okay to have a few game you can't beat out of like a million that you easily can.
I've yet to get the game... the shop where I did the preorder only received the normal edition, will have to wait a couple of days to get my CE :(
Hope you guys are enjoying the game for me!

Yooo that first mini-boss on Kongo mountain is amazing.
That fight was one of the better ones so far.
That western knight with the huge sword. First time I got there I died pretty fast since I only had one gourd charge left. Second time, he hit me and I flew out of the window: instant dead lol. Third time, I beat him, and kicked him out of the window as a finishing animation. Robeeeert!
You can cheese the battle like most mini bosses. After clearing out all mobs, retrace your steps back towards the water and hide in a corner along the buildings there. Wait until it calms down (shouldn't take more than 10 seconds), then sneak behind the boss, who should be on his way back to his original position, for a free deathblow. Now for the remaining health bar, summon the nearby NPC and you should easily take down his last health bar.
and being stubborn. just from the first few hours I already knew to change my approach from BB, Nioh, Dark Souls, The Surge, etc.
there are a few posters that since the start of this thread have been complaining yet don't bother to change their play tatics (from what I am reading)
just pure fucking whining
Its the most Souls like boss I encountered so far. Just keep dodging to his butt and hit him.
I don't think using stealth for a death blow is cheesing, at least how it's understood from Soulsborne--stealth is a purposeful and intended game mechanic.
It took me an hour to "defeat" Lady Butterfly just to discover that se has a second life, I wanna cry :( Jesus Christ I'm so mad, this game is so fucking hard.
regarding that fight
Hold that B/O circle button and run towards it. Stay on it's buttocks the entire fight. Use the firecracker prosthetic tool to stun it if you need to (can stun once every ~25 seconds).
No nowhere even close to as bad as the bed of chaos. Not even a mile away.
