Carve your own clever path to vengeance in an all-new adventure from developer FromSoftware, creators of Bloodborne and the Dark Souls series.

You are the "one-armed wolf", a disgraced and disfigured warrior rescued from the brink of death. Bound to protect a young lord who is the descendant of an ancient bloodline, you become the target of many vicious enemies, including the dangerous Ashina clan. When the young lord is captured, nothing will stop you on a perilous quest to regain your honor, not even death itself.

Explore late 1500s Sengoku Japan, a brutal period of constant life and death conflict, as you come face to face with larger than life foes in a dark and twisted world. Unleash an arsenal of deadly prosthetic tools and powerful ninja abilities while you blend stealth, vertical traversal, and visceral head to head combat in a bloody confrontation.

I'm finding the parry timing pretty easy, but god damn is it fun. Shame about the framerate though. I will try to force 1080p later, but this performance as of now is quite From Software typical honestly.

Can't fucking wait. I've not seen any trailers since the initial reveal and only saw a couple of images. I'm going into this as blind as possible.

I am SO READY. Vaati uploaded a Beginner's Guide not too long ago that can really help people that don't know much about the gameplay itself.

Are you playing on the PS4 Pro? Is so are there options for performance or graphics?

Very nice OT. Really hope DF has a comparison out sooner than later so I can know if I should get this on the X or PC.

Wait?! Do you already have it?

No action mode like nioh? Typical FromSoft, bet there's gonna be a swamp level that tanks the frame rate even further too 😂

I don't understand why I am so hyped for this game.

I've failed at every Soulsborne game I've tried. Given up after a few hours.

Why is this game so enticing? From where is this hype coming? Is it cause of Tenchu? Is it cause it's offline? Is it cause it's got no stamina bar? Is it cause it's more action focused?

I DON'T KNOW! And truth be told I am scared buying the game out of sheer hype because I feel I'll put it down in a few hours after getting my ass handed to me.

WHY DOES FROM HAVE TO MAKE GIT GUD GAMES! UGH!

For new people and anyone wondering how the gameplay and combat works in the game I can recommend three videos.

A video by Playstation Access. A breakdown on how the combat works in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and how it it differs from their previous games.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0slDH-jK2LI&t=202s

Official overview of the gameplay in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice split into 4 parts. The Story, The Shinobi Prosthetic, Combat and Progression (This video contains a little bit more enemy/boss spoilers)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnhVKot3Mwc

And Vaati's recent beginners guide video. (contains boss & enemies from the previews).

Nice. Been hyped for this since the leak. Don't really like that they've been showing too many bosses though. Kept running into spoilery thumbnails for awhile now.

Did they say how long it would be?

Nice. Can't wait, though I will have to wait for some time unfortunately, since I'm broke atm.

It's also refreshing to look at the minimum PC specs and know that my entry level laptop is a fair bit above them. Definitely going to go PC this round for more smooth framerates in gameplay.

Beyond Hyped. Miyazaki is one of the most important game creators working IMO. Few tap into my sensibilities as completely as he does.

While I'm more of a stickler for native languages in film/TV than games, but I'm 100℅ playing this with Japanese VA and English Subs.

Great work with the OT janusff

So hyped for this game. I took Friday off from work, going to get some game time in Thursday night at 9 once it unlocks, then just chill all day Friday with it. I cannot wait.

Super stoked, been trying to keep fairly in the dark. All I need now is to know whether to go X1X or PC.

I might go X just for the disc if performance is comparable.

Game has leaked in France too. One guy said the gameplay is fluid on PS4 fat. Dunno if reliable.
