I've played bits of it and it's been interesting and fun thus far. Unfortunately my GPU didn't really meet the minimum requirements and is randomly crashing and I have to play on the lowest possible setting which takes away a lot from the game. I'm wondering if I should get a new card.
No.21407
>>21406I've played about 6 hours so far, very fun game. Combat and movement are very different from Dark Souls but I like it a lot. Grappling around is very fun, and so is the fast paced parry-based sword combat. I'm still unlearning managing a stamina bar and my dodge having i-frames which has led to me dying a lot. I already have 3 rot essences! I'm still confused as to how the heck the resurrection mechanic and the dragon rot all work but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.
I got a little stuck on the Chained Ogre boss (his lunging grab is so hard to dodge!) but now I'm in a canyon with a big snake who does not like me very much. It's a pretty cool set piece. There was another route I could have taken but it was a scary cave with a warning outside of it. I went far enough in to see some kinda pale hunched over goblin with a big glowing sword and chickened out.

>>21407I'm not yet as far as ahead as you are but I agree the fast paced combat is very fun. Most people probably had a lot of trouble playing it like DS and I did too but I'm adopting a Tenchu approach and it really reminds me of the series.
No.21410
>>21409I have not played Tenchu but I've heard people make the comparison. I just got to the point where I unlocked the skill trees, they add a lot of cool options to combat which I'm excited for. I got an ability that lets me stomp down on an incoming thrust with a well-timed dodge towards which is so much fun to use on spear dudes. The game does a good job of making you feel like a super powered ninja while still being rewardingly difficult.
I wish I knew if there was a respec in the game or not though, I'm saving my skill points right now because you can find combat style manuals that give you whole extra skill trees and I don't wanna waste points. DS2 and DS3 both had a respec in them though so I imagine there's probably a way in this game.

Woah, I just beat Lady Butterfly, that was a really fun boss fight. Probably the hardest I've gotten stuck on a boss thus far, but it totally gave me that same feeling of incremental improvement and eventual success that I really was hoping for out of this games bosses. I wasn't keeping track but it took me at least 10 tries. I quickly ran out of Snap Seeds which made her second phase a lot harder, but still very doable. Learning how to combine parries and dodges simultaneously to get away from her homing butterflies and not die to her melee attacks felt really satisfying once I had it figured out.

>>21423Ah, I'd say definitely go do that then, I think the game expects you to have by now. I found him a lot easier than Lady Butterfly. You haven't managed to kill the purple orb dude in

I would honestly save Lady Butterfly for after the Ashina Castle boss, she's a lot harder than him imo and by the time you clear Ashina Castle you should have some extra HP and attack. The bull gets a lot easier with what

Holy heck this part on the roof where you get swarmed by purple one-armed ninjas is really hard, I can barely take on one of them and once three of them are on you it just feels unfair.

>>21439I killed off all three of them, they're a real pain in the butt though. Using Divine Confetti makes the fight a lot easier, you can basically just DPS race them if you remember to retreat and use Pacifying Agent before your terror gauge fills. You get a kinda neat reward from them.

I beat Sekiro! Got the ending with the Divine Child too. That was a really great game, some of the most fun combat in a game that I've ever played and the difficulty level was just right, I really wasn't ever frustrated but it was still a challenge. Definitely got my moneys worth out of it and I'm excited for future DLC, which From has a pretty good track record with. I really enjoyed all the Dark Souls DLC.
No.21457

>>21457Nice, congrats! I thought the final boss was a lot of fun. I think I'm going to play through a second time with the harder difficulty.
>Great and fun game but not without flaws.What were your complaints with it, out of curiosity? The biggest thing I didn't like about it was the stealth aspect and how the game kind of forces you into using it by giving you encounters that are really unfair unless you cheese some of the enemies, which felt kinda unrewarding to me. Also a lot of the "stealthing" amounts to just abusing bad AI and not actually being sneaky, which further makes those encounters feel unrewarding.
That and I feel like some of the prosthetic tools were pretty underutilized, but that's more on me than the game. I was just way more likely to take damage trying to make things like the fan, the spear, and the feather work on normal enemies, and against bosses I either used the one the game explicitly tells you to use or didn't use anything at all, because again, futzing around with tools was just making the fight harder for me. For most of the game I used the flame blast, the firecracker, the shuriken, and occasionally sabimaru.
No.21460
>>21459Both points you've made are spot on, I'd also expand that there is a lack of flow between the gameplay transition of exploring and fighting normal enemies versus the boss duels. As you've mentioned, while I liked the stealth gameplay, the awful AI takes away a lot of satisfaction from it. I didn't use the prosthetic tools much either and barely upgraded it but I've been reading up on things related to the game and it seems that together with combat arts, could provide a variety of different ways to play the game and fight bosses.
Since it's probably also made in the same engine as the souls series and it having similar interfaces, I can't help but compare the two and while I appreciate it being a different game, I feel like the absence of certain elements from the souls series somewhat regrettable. My biggest gripe with the game though would be that I feel that the game is too short, especially in comparison to other From Software titles although it is still significant compared to most modern games. The side quests and NPCs are also weaker than their other titles and there are a lot of unnecessary NPCs that only serves as a waypoint to progress the direction of the game like the monk in the hidden forest and the basket guy. I've read that for the vendors, Miyazaki only directly designed the pot nobles and it shows as they were the only ones that are remotely interesting. I'd also like to add that considering the duel-like battle system, I thought that PvP might've been fun. The location design was in general gorgeous but there are a few places where it felt lacking such as the depths which felt like a half assed attempt to replicate the area from Souls and the Fountainhead Palace which was actually brilliant but
I was expecting the "palace" to be another area instead of a dingy house.Anyway, I really like the setting being in the east instead of the usual medieval trope and I hope Japanese devs would come up with more games like it as it used to be in the past with games such as tenchu and way of the samurai. I've always hoped for a Souls game set in the east and whilst this is not exactly it, it's still a great game overall with some great moments and gave me a taste of what it could be. I'd still love to see a sequel though.

Is it like Demon's Souls, or Dark Souls/Bloodborne?
I absolutely loved Demon's Souls when it came out, found Dark Souls to be above average, and was frankly disappointed with Bloodborne.
No.21464
>>21462I haven't played Bloodborne or Demon's Souls, but I found the game to be closest to Dark Souls 3, which in turn is the closest of those games to Bloodborne, or so I hear. At least in that it's fast paced and the combat is very frenetic rather than methodical like Dark Souls 1. That said, it's really a wholly different game, the only similarities between it and the other Hidetaka Miyazaki games are some structural things like how the world and enemies are laid out, the difficulty, the progression of your healing flask, etc. The combat is it's own thing entirely, and the RPG elements are pretty much wholly gone, as is the multiplayer. Great game though, I hope you are able to play it soon! Like anonymous said, if you can't afford it, there's nothing wrong with pirating it.
No.21465
>>21464>and the RPG elements are pretty much wholly goneBit of a non-sequitur, but am I the only one who never cared for these in action games? The whole idea of an action RPG seems to just be an excuse to not have to design harder and harder levels and puzzles for a player that gets better at the game, substituting it with bigger numbers and more grinding. I say this as someone who likes actual RPGs very much.

Finishing up Stella Glow. I hadn't heard of this game before and was surprised at how high quality it was.
+ Each character feels like they have their own unique play style
+ Cute girls
+ You can marry the bad girl
+ Engaging story
+ Great OST
+ Nice SRPG gameplay
Only thing I didn't like was how slow it felt sometimes. Early game can be physically painful, and I would unironically say it gets good about 15-20 hours in. (That's when plot starts developing and you start getting better items.) If you have the patience, you could enjoy this fantastic game. Its definitely one of the better I've played.

>>21586They're usually called TRPGs in the west. Some people make a distinction that SRPG refers specifically only to the FFT/Tactics Ogre type of game while TRPG refers to stuff on a smaller scale like Radiant Historia with some basic tactical thinking required but the terms are interchangeable if you ask me since that kind of thing is pretty standard in the RPG genre as a whole and calling it "strategy" in the first place is kind of a misnomer anyways. Technically a true strategy RPG would be something like Nobunaga's Ambition but those are pretty rare and the more strategic get the less RPG they tend to get.

No.22106
>>22104I don't completely grasp your point but I'll assume we're on the same page. I think this boils down partially to a case of the grass is greener plus a lack of self-confidence on the part of the Japanese devs. The global market is a huge slice of the pie the Japanese industry have been desperately trying to penetrate in the last decade or so, even more so with the contraction of the domestic market. Most of these devs lacks the experience and knowledge of the global market and that brings them to seek western collaborators. Others are disillusioned by the local industries and its work culture and are drawn by the "foreign" industry which they think are different from the homogenous local industry. As you've mentioned, they don't realize that the charm of their creation is in their unique ideas that stems from their prior isolation and that what globalization brings instead is a streamlined, uniform approach to design that ironically waters down the so-called diversity of cultures. The Japanese game industry have seen a slight resurgence in recent years as you've mentioned and I do hope they would grow to become as dominant as they once were. It's frankly frustrating to see Japanese related stuff being made by western developers to receive acclaim when the Japanese themselves turn a blind eye to it.
This recent interview with the creator of the Katamari series might be relevant.

I usually try not to ride the cynicism train that you all are on so hard, but I do have trouble imagining what the Game of Thrones guy is going to bring to this game other than name recognition from its hordes of fans. All of Froms recent games have been fantastic at taking an established mythology and aesthetic and putting their own unique spin on it, and while I haven't seen Game of Thrones, it looks to me like very generic medieval fantasy. The trailer had some cool stuff in it though, I liked the hammering dude with his body cracking apart.
>>22104>>22106I remember saying similar things about anime when people were celebrating Space Dandy being aired on US TV the before it aired in Japan, and to an extent simulcasts in general. That sort of thing represents a possibility for anime to make considerations towards appeasing an international market rather than a Japanese one, but it's that same niche appeal that made people like me like it in the first place.

>bitsummitThat's another western attack vector aimed at subverting the doujin subculture so the western indie circlejerk can feed on its corpse.
>>22111I honestly hope it's just a one-off thing and that this and kojima are the exceptions, but I look at that flea market Tolkien, "ring" in the game's title and I can't help but look back west and see this as nothing but another pivot to establish the guy as the future lore master at the helm of amazon's take on the lord of the rings.

No.22123
>>22116Bitsummit'e entire operation is directed at "raising awareness" to western indie gaming. They're funded by western companies first and japanese companies (a distant) second. I remember looking into it when it started and as soon as I saw valve as a main sponsor I could smell the long con a mile away.
It seems like you can't see information on the previous events so I won't delve deeper there, but check out what they've got going this year. Most speakers are westerners and their keynotes are all the kind of blogposting that has plagued GDC over the years. Creators of games who would be put to shame by a comiket kusoge made by a college freshman are presented as great authorities and the games awarded are mostly the same kind of arthouse bullshit that has sterilized the independent game making environment in the west. Mind you, there's a couple alright games here and there but they, like the token japanese speakers, are only there as stepping stones to make the award-winning games look as good or better in what I can only believe to be a second coming of the indie awards scams happening in the west. Awards are structured in such a way that the japanese get their own category so there's a spot open for westerners to win the grand prize. People with no taste who spent their whole career making faux retro teaching art. Force-feeding the american retro canon.
Change the language to japanese. Not once do you see the word doujin, but indie is plastered everywhere. Even when ZUN of all people went there as a speaker, he was presented as a japanese "indie" creator. Meanwhile, take a look at comiket game trailers by year since bitsummit came around and you'll notice a trend of adding those laurel graphics to indicate indie awards. Obviously those almost never make it past "you were here" consolation awards and you can take an educated guess why.

They've just gotten more popular in the past fifteen years or so with both the growth in popularity of video games in general and disillusionment with corporate productions. I wouldn't call doujin soft the same thing since the culture and relationship to the commercial market is different but it's becoming more like western indie games in recent years with more emphasis on digital distribution and awareness of foreign audiences and corporate interests.
As for music and movies though in the last several decades "indie" has referred more to certain streams within "alternative" genres, many of which are already commercially successful, rather than to their actual independence from major corporate labels or studios. Independent music and film has also existed since the beginning and still does whether or not it conforms to genre expectations.
