It took me three separate attempts at playing to game to make some meaningful progress and not rage quit again. The first two times, I got to the drunk guy in Hirata Estate and couldn’t kill him. The third try, well, I killed him and moved on to get a platinum trophy. It takes some time, but it’s well worth it. The gameplay is unparalleled and feels really really good
It does take some time to get used to it. As much as it’s a meme, it does click once you get to the mid-game. Also not worth to push through if you’re not feeling it at all
Oh yea I can imagine. I was fortunate, or unfortunate, enough to have Sekiro be pretty much the first FromSoft game I’ve ever played next to Bloodborne, so I didn’t have a mold of habits to break. It was tough tho. I bounced off the game hard twice and didn’t touch the game for several years. Having finished Bloodborne, I gave it another shot, didn’t suck as abysmally as before and the rest is history.
You just need to fully accept the different gameplay loop to succeed. A little tip that helped me a lot was to just not move at all since that’ll usually just throw you off mid-combo and only focus on parries and occasional dodged for unparriable attacks. That way, you’re always perfectly lined up for parries and won’t get hit by a stray polygon on the edge off the attack.
Let me know if you have any questions about anything concerning the game - maybe I can help somehow. :)
Huh, didn’t think about not moving, I can see how that could help (at least I think, I haven’t touched it in a year or so haha). You’re right though, there’s lots of habits from the others to break.
I still have it downloaded, so I may as well give it a try. Once I finish off some of the higher level chalice dungeons I’ve recently gotten back into.
Thanks for the advice, I will let you know if I have any questions.

It does click eventually tho… :D

I’m not there yet. I’ve only tried once, but it was frustrating considering how much I love the other Fromsoft games.

I definitely have to give it another try. I think I’m just too set in my other Fromsoft games old ways.
