and to further extrapolate cuznwhy not, the immediate appealing stuff with sekiro has nothing to do with presentation or setting but the idea of an action game about movementnthat is not rooted in devil may cry or ninja gaiden

my only misgivings about this game are the fact that the jumping and swinging look kinda wonky feeling
like these guys just spent the last decade iterating the anti mario 3d game descending the great hollow feels only a few steps removed from a no clip exploit hope u donât get stuck on that 1 inch tall floor geometry seam
even the weapon clashing seems like it feels a little weird in the vidz, for all the weight and physicality perhaps only suggested by the previous games, it will be interesting to see how such a heavy emphasis on it feels in action
looks real good regardless gonna chop chop chop em all up

I remember being slightly underwhelmed by the early footage of Undead Burg. This is part of the From marketing playbook
They have to top Bloodborne with this so if anything Iâm more concerned it might jump the shark with batshit crazy stuff

And itâs not in Fromâs nature to overwhelm; Demonâs Souls is easily the biggest and most surprising leap they ever took but even then itâs adorably retrograde in its menu design.
I think theyâll continue to use their very good world art, creature design, and (slow) combat team to present something Very Good but I donât expect to be shocked by the execution like Bloodborne, I think something special happened to energize that 4th game in such a short time.
But that still implies something unmissable if From is your jam.

yeah the three evade button thing is worrying to me a bit?? i remember trying to play nioh where you had to hit a dude, then hit another button right after that so you could refill your ki, and it was like this ping-pong ball juggling act with so many moving parts that i just couldnât get into it, nor actually keep up.
i feel like from will get this right though, at least iâm hoping they will? i feel like itâs beneath them to design a system for the main purpose of disarming souls game edgelords.

My hopeâs for a place between Soulsborne and Ninja Gaiden, which is clearly in sight but really means I want enemies to be constantly threatening and capable - yeah, fewer stats (or none it seems) and less items for players to lean on, exploit.
At the heart of battle with another action reference: bring something like DMC/Bayo-lite inputs to the front as requirement, only more under the hoodâŚnot about show or points. Just to survive. I donât think itâll be that technical or demanding but hopefully maintains a slope of involvement to build skill, not so much hack and slash.
Pretty sure weâll get the closest thing to controlling Jubei vs the Eight Devils of Kimon.
I still canât believe they made him president and he directs all the games
and he seems like such a decent thoughtful guy too!

pretty sure thatâs why the big raging boar
while weâre here let me bring up one thing thatâs always bugged me??
why are they called soulsborne games? there are 4 â-soulsâ games and only one â-borneâ game. wouldnât bloodborne just be another souls game? i donât find bloodborne fundamentally different enough to warrant tacking itâs name on to the end. if bloodborne was a series i could understand doing that though.
like will they be known as souls-kiro-borne games after this one comes out?
just call em all souls or souls-like games, internet
