Metacritic:

Why is the Xbox version above the Steam release? And why is this seperation even a thing?

yes, the scores by themselves do not show how good the game could be, since I do not really like DS 2, but the Sekiro is a full action, so I have 0 concerns about the game
Some publications only do reviews for certain platforms. The differences in the numbers themselves are pretty much meaningless unless there's a huge disparity.
That's not what he meant by my account. He's saying that it gets easier than other from games if you "git Ril gud"
Bloodborne territory...
... could my GOAT be rivalled twice in one gen...
Man I dunno if I should get this, if it's really that hard it could be frustrating, especially with no online help. That is a positive with the Souls games, you don't have to keep banging your head against a wall to progress. I don't know if the difficulty is being overblown like it was for Dark Souls though.
Damn those are literally all the issues I've had with From games. Might need to cop this one sooner rather than later
Bloodborne is actually 91 on Opencritic.Bloodborne territory...
... could my GOAT be rivalled twice in one gen...
That's why I won't watch any review, I've only read some impressions and that's all.
The PS4 article has more than twice the reviews quoted than the other two, it will probably be the reference article, as it's far easier to score high with much fewer reviews.
This being said, because the reviews quoted are not the same sources, can't compare anyway.
All the reviews should be gathered under 1 article imo.
So is Sekiro now, it went down.
Hahaha I didn't want to watch any but my son convinced me to watch one with him HE IS AN ENABLER AND A CORRUPTOR
I actually bought it before you posted this. Was stupid of me to pull the trigger on Division 2 so soon though
Edit: it's a good game, but I'll be preoccupied
I wish i never watched the IGN one. Not sure about the others because that put me off.
IGN's shows at least one thing that I really would have preferred seeing in-game and I'm disappointed I saw it now. It's a continuation of something we saw in a trailer that would be SHOCKING if I didn't know about it.
Several other things are pretty spoilery but, y'know, can't expect them to not show the game. I don't blame them for anything, I am disappointed in myself.
I wish I had the patience and determination for FROM games, was able to get through a decent chunk of Bloodborne just based on my undying appreciation for anything cosmic horror, but besides that I definitely need assistance otherwise to get through the rest. Seeing this has no coop bums me out, especially with reading just how accurate you need to be with mini bosses and the like. Miyazaki is remarkable with atmosphere and world design, I wish someone else was able to capture even a whiff of his distinctive world building in something a bit less soul crushing difficulty-wise.
well,imo the difficulty plays a big part on immersion. Being on your toes and feeling the lethality of the world and your enemies makes it seem like you are actually there. If the game was half as hard,it wouldn't be the same.If something looks dangerous,it probably is...in contrast with most of the games.
Difficulty is a core aspect to the general package imo and it saddens me that some people are afraid that they are not able to make it through the game(although I think this is kind of an illusion for most of them,they can,but they have to actually believe it).
So yeah patience,determination and wit is needed in FROM games and I think most of you have it,but don't realise it
I mean, alternatively just watch a playthrough if you're stuck on a boss to see how people beat it.
That's my ninja way.
That's my ninja way.
If I were to just listen to the video reviews and not look at the TV - would that suffice as far as them not saying anything spoilery?
I don't think it was too bad in that regard, but it does pretty much say how many bosses there are.
If course you lose stuff when you die. And of course you can die when falling. What are you talking about lol.
lol
I feel your pain...
At least the game's release is just a few hours away!!
Haha yeah, but I'm picking it up tomorrow and can't play until most of my kids are in bed, so almost a whole day for me.
They say how many bosses there are? Just main story bosses or mini-bosses and story bosses combined?
glad to see i'm not the only one who's noticed this very big difference between sekiro & what's come before. as i've mentioned elsewhere, as a off-line single-player action game, rather than an online one, sekiro has much more in common with ninja gaiden, devil may cry, god of war, & bayonetta, all of which feature difficulty levels, than it does with the souls games...
Happy to see all the positive reviews. Still early days for me, but it runs beautifully and feels so good to play.
DeS and DkS being at 89 while DkSII is at 91 shows how little these numbers relate to quality.
Anyway, lack of summoning is cool, will make watching LPs more enjoyable, when people can't chicken out on the bosses

Oh man. These reviews!
I won't be back to my PS4 until the end of the month, so I'll have to continue this media blackout - for video, anyway. I can't wait to play this. There's something about From games that don't get me as pissed off as they should. I guess it's because I know it's all about that learning curve, and the path to success is all about practice. It sounds like Sekiro has taken that formula, and mastered it. I can't wait.

They don't say the exact number, and the exact phrasing of bosses was "with a capital B." It doesn't include minibosses.
Linear.
Think about the move from ds to bb. Now take that an extra step from bb and here you are.
Fantastic! I liked BB far more than DS because it was more linear. Cheers!
That's good for me. I appreciate clever interconnected open level design, but I also like some linearity in these games.
From manages high praise again, with a game that has inconsistent framrate even on the "high end" consoles, and frame pacing issues on the "low end" ones, pretty incredible magic trick there, many other companies' games get split asunder and tossed into the 70's/7's pot for the same issues or even lower scores.
I have a PS4 Pro, I'm excited for, it but I'd rather if I could get even a solid 50 out of the game on it, I know 50 isn't good either but it's better than the fluctuating mid 30-40s that Digital Foundry found.

Who has made a great game that got a 70 metacritic solely due to frame pacing and/or fluctuating 30+ fps?
What the hell?! I'm playing this game then. I'm playing it. You got me intrigued.
And you can actually pause in Sekiro right? Please tell me you can pause.
I cannot stand Souls games. But everything you typed has me really excited.
