My main is NG+7 so I don't know if I'm over leveled or what, or if I should start a new character and go through it. Hmm. I played it on my main at about 125 on NG+2 and it was a pretty good challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't played in a couple months. I think I just need to get back into the swing of things. Definitely looks interesting so far though. I think in actually NG+6, not 7. The wolves are cool.

Whole thing only took around 5 hours but I took it pretty slow and got stuck on the last boss for a long time. I've heard of people beating it in 2 hours but I'm guessing they were either way over leveled or just ran through stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly where I'm at and it's decently challenging. Haven't encountered a boss yet though. Still exploring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 finished the DLC bosses. just wanna explore some more and farm the rest of the ringed knight set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Us: Niko was harder than DS. From: Alright, fuckers... watch this. Haven't gotten play much cause of not getting home from work till 10pm, but damn this is fun. At the first Ringed City bonfire. Took down the first boss under ten tries which I feel like is a big deal as a pyro. Haha. Fun fun fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also disappointingly short but I had way too high hopes that From would blow it out for their last hurrah. Still good and fun. But, wish there was more - naturally. batman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Yeah I struggled far more with Sister Friede or whatever than TRC bosses. That new covenant is fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah but it's a shame I feel like it makes that boss fight such a toss up :\ You get a real tryhard or a laggy mofo and the whole fight is a bitch. Or you get someone who is pvping for the first time and the fight is over before you know it haha. Artorias is still best DLC by far. DS2 is best as far as quantity/difficulty.

Artorias just gave me feels. Made me grow up to be a real Souls player. Had such a hard time on him until I gave up, went fully naked no shield with a scythe and played him over and over until I learned his tells and could beat him without getting hit. He's my favorite. And now I wear the Wolf Knight armor in his honor haha batman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how I'm reading so many people complaining about the difficulty. I'm not too deep in yet, but I don't think it's hard. Feel Ashes was harder. But now that I'm used to Ashes I can smash Sister first try again and again. I actually love that fight now. Regardless, it's gorgeous so far and I'm stoked to go home and play more. And we'll always be disappointed cause we all love this series so, so damn much. We always want more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) There's one boss that was really the turning point for me, and the combat has clicked a lot better since. Was stuck for hours though. I think the things I miss the most are the weird community shenanigans and FashionSouls. Really wanna know what @rooks & (impossible to tag) @✦ S U N S H I N E ✦ 日 光 ♡♡ think. It's a pretty huge departure from what made DS great.

I haven't had too much time to really devote to it just yet, I'm only a couple of bosses in (first area or two still). I'll say, the prosthetics are cool, and I like that there are a decent number of them - but they are nowhere near as cool as the BB weapons, which makes me wish there were a little more RPG elements involved.. using a single Katana the whole game is kind of meh, imo. At the very least they could have done something like the KH route where weapon differences are largely cosmetic and maybe a tiny stat boost here or there for different ones. But boring when there's no drops and 9 out of ten of the items on the ground you try to kill yourself to grab are fucking ceramic shards lol. I'm also just NOT into the setting or themes at all. Samurai/ninja shit does less than 0 for me. To each his own, I know a lot of people are into that - but the dark graveyard medieval/fantasy feel of Dark Souls or the gothic lovecraftian setting of Bloodborne are so much more interesting to me. Still - I always enjoy a From game, and will git gud soon enough I am sure. batman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) I'm holding off on Sekiro until it goes about half price. I've already got a backlog and learning that there aren't a really rpg elements kind of turned me off a little. Liked the souls games and bloodborne of course, and actually really enjoyed Nioh too, so this looked right up my alley at first. I think I'll still enjoy it, but the backlog calls to me. edit: Plus...cuphead for switch is coming soon!

And the lack of drops is a bummer—I miss finding cool armor and weapons. I’ve got loads of inventory that I’ll probably never use. The combat learning curve is no joke. Everytime I’ve felt comfortable-ish with it, the difficulty spikes again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combat learning curve is no joke. Everytime I’ve felt comfortable-ish with it, the difficulty spikes again. Yeah, hardest part for me is every "drop" is a consumable and short of a couple of poison healing things used in desperation here and there... I'm not in the habit of using consumables in any Souls\Borne game. So 99% of my inventory is useless. Combat is fun when you win and kinda frustrating when you fall into Dodge habits haha. Hoping I'll get the hang of it and enjoy it. But the story hasn't done much for me yet, because I don't care for the setting, and the lack of drops\gameplay customization as far as combat style is slightly dampening.
