#Sekrio

[colourofthekites]

The trick to sekiro is perfect parries. Honestly the health bars are almost red herrings except on the larger bosses. Posture damage ur enemies always bro

yeah that makes sense, I guess I'm so used to Elden Ring style "whack it til it breaks and dodge sometimes" of fighting. It's just a frustrating play so far. I've beaten Junzou and the Chained Ogre in Ashina Outskirts, but I just got frustrated on the rather unforgiving aspects of bosses having entourages and dealing a fuck ton of damage.

I think I'll have to give it a proper whirl and a go before deciding on whether I like it but for now, it's a bigger difficulty spike than Dark Souls and that's saying something

Two playthroughs later I realized that I am a fucking idiot. I completed the Gauntlet of Strength: Severance because the Tengu skin is my favorite. But since I did it at the beginning of my ng+ playthrough, I didn't have resurrection unlocked yet. My dumbass just though the single life restriction was part of the challenge of the Gauntlet.

Been playing Lies of P a lot for the past month. I'm not sure how far in I am, but I recently beat king of puppets, and I gotta say it's a lot of fun. If you've been hesitant to play it because it looks like a "Bloodborne ripoff" I'd encourage you to set that apprehension aside and give it a try. To be fair, the game is clearly "ripping off" Dark Souls/Sekrio/etc. and it's honestly better for it. I find other 3D souls-like games never quite feel right. There's always something off about how they control, how the player character moves, or the combat is just missing something, but Lies of P really GETS IT. I think it also brings a lot of neat new things to the table that still make it distinct. PLEASE PLAY IT! And to the people who avoid the game because grimdark pinocchio bloodborne just seems bizarre as fuck well. IDK how to help you there. I've never really cared about the lore or story for these types of games so my condolences I guess. You should still play it.

Been playing Another Crabs Treasure (courtesy of my big bro gifting it to me for my birthday) and I think calling it a souls like is good marketing but does it a disservice. The game feels more like Sekrio, if Sekiro was a SpongeBob tie in game for the GameCube. (Which is meant complimentary.)

I really have been enjoying it. The game mechanics are dished out slowly, which is something Fromsoft has difficulty with, often dumping everything in your lap from the beginning of the game, and you absolutely don't need to engage with all the game mechanics to have fun and play the game.

Also, the ton of accessibility features and the different outfits for the main character including a lgbt flag scarf is a huge bonus.

Sketchdump!

Mixing of practicing panels for my comic, Sekrio, and characters also for my story, enjoy!! :)

The tragic thing about perfecting most games is that you can be as good at it as possible, explore the world as much as you can, and then you hit the achievements like “do x different thing in a second playthrough” or “ find all 5000 lore scribbles” and immediately kills steam on the attempt. Like sorry I don’t think I’m going to spend 200 hours platinuming sekrio i still love life.

Lately, I've been playing DS3 with a coworker, it's been his first time, and it's been a lot of fun.

Tonight I was running around on my highest level trying to figure out what I hadn't done yet, learned I hadn't killed the Twin Princes yet. Well, I killed them on my second try, which is a feat. I've gotten so much better at the Souls games overall over the last couple of years after playing all of them.

I'm almost done with Sekrio for my first run, it's more of an action game than a souls-like game, and keeping that in mind when playing makes it a lot more of an enjoyable challenge.

Why I say it's not Souls-like is because with Souls games you always have options when you're faced with a tough boss or area, you can try different weapons or maybe even change stats. With Sekrio you cannot do that, you can painfully farm skill points, but only a handful are helpful on bosses. It comes down to learning the combat system in the game and improving your skills. You can also get killed by just about every enemy in the game pretty easily, you know because you are a weak ninja and the world is full of scary mean samurai. Combat though I think Sekrio feels a lot similar to BloodBorne it's fast and punishing if you react in the wrong way or too slowly and there isn't a lot of time for recovering.

We beat the butterfly, time to storm the castle in Sekrio! Let's go!!

Research: Sekiro shadows die twice

This is my research on Sekrio Shadows die twice, 2019′s game of the year. Published by Activision, it is one of the hardest games I’ve ever played. Set in Feudal Japan, you play as a Shinobi who is first takes with saving his master before being tasked with severing immortality from the land. This game stays true to thee souls borne style but with large differences.  

The story is really interesting as it references a lot of Japanese mythology. The story starts with a dragon coming to Japan from the North, this dragon took over and settled which created the rejuvenating waters. A war was battled in the land of Ashina, where Ishhin the sword saint saved his home. The great owl shinobi rescues a young boy from the battle field, who he calls Wolf (the character). Wolf is tasked as Kuro’s (Ashina royalty) shinobi. The Ashina esate is attacked by bandits and Wolf rescues Kuro but is stabbed in the back. Years later and Ishinn’s adopted son, Genichiro, takes over and imprisons Kuro. Wolf rescues Kuro again but get’s his arm cut of when facing Genichiro. He is rescued by the Sculptor and given a prosthetic arm to help him save Kuro yet again. You find out that you and Kuro are bonded by the Dragon’s heritage, meaning that you are immortal. When you face off against Genichiro again and win, you find out that he is also immortal. Kuro then tasks you with severing immortality from the land. You first must acquire the mortal blade, a large sword that can kill immortal beings and then get a tear from the dragon. When returning, Ashina is under attack by the interior ministry, who have been waiting to invade for a long time. The reason why they attack now is because you have weaken them from killing all the soldiers. You face off against Genichiro a final time, who has another immortal severing sword called the black mortal blade. After defeating Genichiro, he then uses the sword to bring back Ishhin who you battle against. There are multiple endings where Kuro dies, you die or you seek someone to help get the Dragon home. 

I like that the story is very fixated on real life and mythology, blending the two in perfect harmony which makes it feel really nice. 

Gameplay is very different from over from software games. For starters, you only use one weapon for the entire game instead of using different weapons. But you do equip different prosthetic arms that all have their uses such as the fire crackers that are can not only blind enemies but effective at startling animals. The game also has some stealth elements that make you feel like a ninja, it is helpful to clear enemies out quickly or weakening strong enemies. Fighting is also very different as it’s not as fast paced as bloodborne and dark souls 3, it’s heavily forcing you to remember the enemy's move sets and being extremely careful. Sekiro introduces posture which is the main focus, once and enemy’s posture is broken you can then do a deathblow which then kills them so health does not matter anymore. To weaken posture, simple attacking the enemy or deflecting will break their posture. Another key feature is that you have multiple lives. When you die, you can resurrect yourself and keep fighting. Die again and you have to restart at another checkpoint. 

I love the aesthetic and story of the game as it just feels so nice and yet so peaceful even though your battling for your life. I also love the combat system, it can be hard at first to master but the more you practice the better you become and soon you become too good for the game. Apart from those things, I hate the game for how hard it is. From software are hard but this game goes from impossible to literal hell, it is just really unfair. I actually bought this game years and years ago during my first visit to Cambridge, I had seen a youtuber play it and thought it looked cool. Next day, I couldn’t even get passed the first level and it was many years later that I repurchased it and got a lot further. As much as I hate it, I do love it and even have the official art book for this game which is bigger than my bloodborne one.  

For my FMP, I want to take some inspiration from the combat as you only have a sword and then the arms to help you. For my FMP, my character will only have a sword and then can equip a ton of different things to help them in battle. I also want to take some inspiration from the story as it blends mythology with realism in a serious tone, which I want to sort of do but with fairy tales in a way.

Hello ! 10 & 30 for the asks ?

10. Who is your favourite demigod?

Miquella!! I think the little we know about him is very cool! I like how he's kinda implied to be manipulative but for a really good cause! I also really like how he's (according to Melenia) the strongest Empyrian but he's also baby so she fights for him. Also characters who are stuck at a certain age my beloved- his aesthetic is just really cool too I like how it contrasts with Melenia's.

Also he fed the Haligtree on his BLOOD fucking METAL.

30. Rank the games you’ve played!

Oh, I wonder what number 1 is.

7. DS1: Definatly not bad in anyway! I just can't get used to the controls and I've given up in blighttown 3 separate times now. I'm sure if I gave it more time I'd crack it but it does need that time. Also it's very easy to get lost in for me unfortunatly.

6. DS2: Here for very very similar reasons to DS1 but it's slightly higher cus I dig the art direction a little more.

5. Demon's Souls: Again, probably reeeaaally good if I could get a proper grasp on it! I'm going off the remaster here and its just... so pretty...

4. Sekrio: Too difficult for my little gamer brain but really satisfying to get right. I love the story and how different the gameplay is.

3.DS3: Amazing boss design imo. I'm biased towards it because I just have some really good memories associated with it and my buddies!

2. Elden Ring: Probably the best game I've played but not my favourite. The worldbuilding and art direction has me in a chokehold like... oogh oh my god...

and! 1. Bloodborne: I mean, what do I say even? The meld between gothic and comic horror is fucking AMAZING. The themes it tackles hit home HARD for me. The designs! The SPOOKS! I love how it encourages violence and tells its story through that!!!! I've also talked before about Bloodborne's unintentional queer themes and I'm not going to lie to you and say that that's not why it's my favourite lmao.

Need Help Choosing 3-4 Masterpieces From a List of 10/10 Masterpieces

Need Help Choosing 3-4 Masterpieces From a List of 10/10 Masterpieces Hey everyone, I'm on my 2 month Summer break and I've got lots of free time to spare. I want to experience some of the greatest games that the gaming medium has to offer within this 2 month timeframe, so I've put together a list of the most critically acclaimed video games of all time. When doing this, I kind of got overwhelmed by just how many titles I was able to find. Being an overthinker, I'm having a tough time choosing which games to play. I know that reccomendations here will be subjective, but just narrowing it down a bit will help. Seeing reccomendations and an explanation I think would help me better understand these games so that I can then make a decision. To give some more information in terms of what I am a big fan of, I just want to mention that I am coming off of completing Bloodborne, Elden Ring, and Sekrio. All of which I enjoyed incredibly and each of these games have broken into my top 5. They were honestly some of the best games I've ever played. My favourite game, however, is the Witcher 3. So... here's the list:Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree (I did love Elden Ring, so thought this would be a must for me) The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Hollow Knight Shadow of the Colossus Bloodborne Journey Final Fantasy VI, VII, IX, and XIV Persona 5 RoyalMass Effect Legendary Edition Resident Evil 4 (2005)NieR: Automata the entire Yakuza series, starting with Yakuza 0 Death Stranding The Elder Scrolls games (Oblivion and Skyrim, plus Morrowind) Ori and the Blind Forest / Will of the Wisps Hades Celeste Outer Wilds Disco Elysium Chrono Trigger BioshockDark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 3 Submitted July 06, 2024 at 03:16PM by Michael_Plays112 https://ift.tt/4uoMFhW via /r/gaming
