Registered 15 years agoOne thing I was glad to hear is that getting multiple endings should have more freedom to it. They took the absolute piss with it in Sekiro with the amount of obscure actions you had to follow to get the best endings and additional content. -

Registered 4 years agoYeah it took the piss how they took one of my favourite series ever in dark souls and improved it with Bloodborne and somehow made it almost perfection in sekiro. No idea how they keep making their games better and better each time. -

Registered 10 years agoAgree with Bichii. Sekiro is my favourite of the FROM games.
The various endings in Sekiro also were no more obscure than any Souls game or Bloodborne - Kaathe, Umbilical Cords, Usurpation ending etc. were about the same as the snake hearts. Same goes for optional areas like Cainhurst, Painted World and the like. -
Sekiro is, by some margin, my least favorite. Too difficult, too much bullshit, boring loot, lack of build variety. I am sure it's a fine game if it fits your playstyle, but it had little of what I love about From's other games.

Registered 16 years agoSekiro is, weirdly, genuinely the only soulslike I havent played. I cant think of another one. Lords of the fallen, the surge, code vein, the lot.
As soon as I heard the combat was based around parrying *pfft* fuck that. -

Registered 8 years agoIt's one of the very few games that I made myself finish and regretted ever playing it. I was so in love with From's Souls (and BB) games that I forced my way through it but I really didn't get on with it. The combat was one note, the loot was dull as all hell, no build variety, heavy reuse of environments etc etc. If you liked the combat then, yes, I can see why it's awesome, but I didn't and therefore everything else hurt it immeasurably for me.
Edit: Basically what Lou said.

I enjoyed Sekiro but it is (for me at least) the worst from game. I just found it a bit too hard to really fall in love with it. -

Registered 10 years agoAll fair points, can't really disagree with anything (except the combat being one note).
Couldn't give a toss about loot, different builds and the like when the core combat is so good and the movement is nearly as good. Enemy design, locations, sound and atmosphere are all on par with previous FROM games (if not better imo).
Only game I've ever got the Platinum for. -

Registered 4 years agoYeah the combat is comfortably from softwares best. Get why people can dislike it on the other points though.
My brother loves all from games but he also didn't get on with it, he basically got to a certain boss and was pissed off he couldn't go away and grind levels to come back and beat it.
The combat is delightful and just got better and better as you unlocked more abilities and the various upgrades. By the end of the game you are a beast, although I still found the last boss almost impossible and still do after five ish completions.
Things like the optional owl father battle was a ballet of death, dark souls combat doesn't even come close.
Don't get me wrong, dark souls games are still some of my favourite games ever and lord knows how many play throughs I've done now but after BB and sekiro nearly all the bosses are very straightforward. Damn I need another play through! Might buy the Xbox one version on disk as I think it's 60fps on series X. -

There was a lot of good in Sekiro, no doubt about that. It's just I'd rather spend a few hours licking a cheese grater than play it again. -

Registered 16 years agoI might actually grab sekiro in the current sale, thinking about it. I think its 60fps on the PS5 and, after trying and failing to parry on janky old bloodborne, performance was the main thing putting me off. -

Registered 4 years ago@nickthegun yeah 60 on ps5 and parrying in sekiro is so much easier than in BB or dark souls. -

Registered 10 years agoBit of a bizarre comment - I've played every Souls game since Demon's on the PS3 multiple times and still get a ton of enjoyment out of them. Just think Sekiro is the pick of the bunch.
Edit. Hooked me like a pro.

Registered 13 years agoAlthough Sekiro was awesome it definitely wasn’t my favourite from FROM. Found it very challenging but I didn’t think it was too hard either, every boss was beatable with practice - some supposedly hard bosses fell first attempt too
Dark Souls was fun, Sekiro felt like work -

Kaathe - if you place any soul in the Lordvessel before 4K that ending is locked out until you start another playthrough.
Umbilical Cords - 2 of the 4 are missable and quite fiddly to get; revisit the clinic after killing Rom - why would anyone go back there without a guide? How do you even know you're meant to eat them without going through each bit of item lore?
Usurpation of Fire - probably the most complicated ending to get in any FROM game - 12 steps to get it and a ton of people to find, talk to, make the right choices, kill etc.
In comparison Sekiro's Purification ending has 9 steps and the Return ending has around 14.
My point being most of the alternate endings in FROM games require things that are practically impossible to know/do (imo) without a guide - you're never going to stumble into them naturally. I don't know why Sekiro gets singled out for this.
Sekiro doesn't lock out full areas behind an obscure item hunt either such as Cainhurst, Ariamis and the like. The only boss I know that's locked to a certain ending is Owlfather too. If anything, Sekiro 'locks away' the least content of the FROM games. -
All these games rely on the community coming together and figuring it out I think, and that was their intention. I don't think any of the other endings and areas are easily found unless you know what to do. Be it Souls, BB or Sekiro.
