I mean Iâll give it a try but I never got far in any of these games due to lack of interest, so⌠But movement seems much more like my cup of tea in Sekiro, so that might motivate me
Necropolis, maybe?
and Absolver, and the robot one, etc
theyâre mostly not good enough
i would have played Ashen if this game wasnât close enough to risk burnout
Far as Iâve gathered no soul/blood type currency either. Gotta be some items or upgrades though (?) so probably hidden, challenges.
I could live with Metroid-y skill/item based gating
i donâtâ the stats and levels in every Souls game were super ignorable besides in 2. this seems like a hang up for people wrt this series and i legit do not understand why
You can play all of dark souls 1 just putting barely enough points to equip a long sword, and then only upgrading that and your armor maybe for the whole game. Itâs not some super hard difficulty challenge to do it that way either. I am not a video game savant, and i did it and had a great time.

people can run through these things with a wooden club at level 0 in their underwear, I still find playing through these things normally to be a mostly miserable experience
Levels and stats are a variable difficulty system and Iâm positive made the Souls games more approachable rather than less. Lower-skill players naturally spend more time in levels and get more souls and should be slightly higher level.
Itâll be interesting to see how they deal without that crutch if they remain high-difficulty, though I didnât hear much about the much-less-forgiving Bloodborne.

Bloodborne still had multiplayer to summon helpers for bosses. Removing both at once gives me pause.
No multiplayer! Wow, I canât imagine the rationale for that one when theyâve got fairly well-developed skills they wonât want to let atrophy. Very interesting.
I understand why that flexibilityâs important, but all these statements generally confirm what Iâd been hoping for as I guess a more concentrated iteration of their combat and level design strengths. Hype to see whatâs required; whatâs available.
âWe donât want to include a difficulty selection because we want to bring everyone to the same level of discussion and the same level of enjoymentâ
âSo we want everyone ⌠to first face that challenge and to overcome it in some way that suits them as a player.â
âWe want everyone to feel that sense of accomplishment. We want everyone to feel elated and to join that discussion on the same level. We feel if thereâs different difficulties, thatâs going to segment and fragment the user base. People will have different experiences based on that [differing difficulty level]. This is something we take to heart when we design games. Itâs been the same way for previous titles and itâs very much the same with Sekiro.â
Finally, Miyazaki said Sekiro is âprobably even more challenging than previous From gamesâ. This is gonna be a tough one.
Friends I still have not started Nioh
However, I am also very broke at the moment so I will hide this thread for the time being
âno formal difficulty settingsâ + âthe game changes when you die a lotâ means, to me, that this is going to be the thing where if you fall in a pit too many times luigi just shows up and does it for you

Thatâs gotta be what the Naruto Boruto dlcâs about
There better be that ninja-vanish-just-a-cut-log technique. Weird nuance and From humor should be present somewhere, let me creep up from death in prank mode.
Also bamboo breathing in a bloody river

I donât know man, that sounds pretty free market capitalist to me. From Software should read some Marx, from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. Iâm definitely not going to have the same experience as everyone else whoâs good at these games, so I donât get their point
