I can moan about getting Bloodborne 2 another day.
I'm most certainly not pre-ordering this though. Need to see those reviews.

Considering what we've seen of the gameplay it makes perfect sense what they're doing regarding weapons. I'd prefer if we could change our clothes, even if it was entirely cosmetic, but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it.
It not being an RPG probably has a lot to do with this. These creators thrive on replayable games and make most of their revenue from doing specialized runs of these games.
In any given Dark Souls game, you can do at least 5 completely unique runs (Blind First, Level 1, Pyromancer, Miracle Cleric, Sorcerer), plus any number of "X weapon only" runs, plus modded runs like increased aggro and multiplied enemies.
Bloodborne reduced this a lot, since builds were less unique and PS4 exclusivity made the aforementioned modded and "X weapon only" runs impossible. Still, some weapons were different enough to warrant their own exclusive playthroughs.
Sekiro further reduces this. The only unique run options I see are a normal first playthrough, a zero-upgrades run, and some specialized prosthetic upgrade runs (still fundamentally the same playstyle no matter what, though).
It's not that they aren't excited, it's that it just won't be as profitable for them long-term. Nobody can sustain their channel on Sekiro for an entire year.
I mean most people still believe file size === size of the game world.
Reaction to this game on twitch is extremely positive. Every big variety streamer I know of including souls-streamers/speedrunners are very excited for this game. Compared to DS 3 hype, I can't say for sure for everyone but people like EpicNameBro, Vaati and Lobos are a lot more hyped for this game than they were for DS3. Also youtube is dead when it comes to this game ????? My feed has been spammed with a shit ton of sekiro videos from different channels since the last week.
Games these days are such rip offs, Why can't we get more games with the size value of Elder Scrolls 2.
A 100 gig game should be like a 50000 hour game

How does 10-15fps sound? Good? Perfect Switch game, sign me up.
X weapon only runs are absolutely possible in Bloodborne. And what you have in Pyromancers, Sorcerers and whatnot, you have in Kos Parasites, Beast Claws and the likes.
But not from scratch. Having to reach NG+ to do a run is a much bigger ask than simply giving yourself the weapon with Cheat Engine on PC, and it also mostly ensures that your build will be complete immediately, negating the sense of progression.
Compare that to making MLGS your starting weapon in DkS1 on PC, which leads to a very unusual playthrough. The coolest BB runs I've seen use PS4 save editors to do things like "Cannon-only" and "Simon's Bow-only" runs with unlimited ammo, which are hilarious gimmick runs far beyond the scope of the base game. Of course, very few people have the software or knowledge to do those BB runs, so it's longevity with the average streamer is limited.
Does anyone know where to get a decent deal on the PC version? cdkeys.com is not that great as it usually is :/
I'm not surprised by the filesize, I don't recall DS3 having a huge filesize either, or maybe I'm remembering wrong....

Base DS3 is about 20GB on PC. The DLC is only another 4 or 5GB (total).
FROM games have not that kind of graphics to show off which is a relief and a concern at the same time but amazing artstyle
This isn't really an accurate comparison, and maybe it was already mentioned in the thread, but Sekiro's guide book has 552 pages. Dark Souls III's guide had 400 pages and Bloodborne's guide had also 552 pages. Both Sekiro's guide and Bloodborne guide are by Future Press (DS3 by Prima), so assuming both guides are printed on the same paper size, according to their guides they would have approximately the same amount of content.
Kinda wish there were different levels of spoiler tag, like one spoiler was merely the mention of the trophy list and the next was the outright count. No blaming or anything, just disappointed I saw that figure :(
Keeping expectations low... SMRT.
They've been in every souls game so far other than specific parts of armor.
Outrageous, that's 4.6 dollars per GB, terrible value.
Couldn't this just be a case of engine and asset optimization ? Maybe after five games on that engine they just figured out a way to make eveything neat and small ?
Sounds like a cinematic experience to me.

Actual size of the game on Ps4 is 16.8 GB
Dark Souls 3 was 17.3 Gb.
So it's on par with that and i think there is no more reason to worry about less content or being shorter than DS III.

I can't imagine they would release this game in the western market without jp audio.
Uh more gigs = more content?Actual size of the game on Ps4 is 16.8 GB
Dark Souls 3 was 17.3 Gb.

So that should mean for Xbox it's definitely a go right? Since its usually a bit earlier there.
With games developed by From Software and with the same structure i think it's reasonable to make comparisons.
Don't know, I wish I could answer that. I don't own an Xbox but it seems reasonable.
