Feels like a weird carry over from their other DMC playthroughs which is a bit of a shame cause I'd love to see Woolie royal guard his way through the Dante sections.
that seems like a bad thing to do? i don't mind if pat is just showing dante off in his 'prologue' chapter but i feel like a lot of the point from the 'new guy + guy who's already played the game' combination is that the new guy is driving
Sekiro and other souls games have this funny thing where youtube channels that spoil boss fights and endings can barely keep up due to the nature of these games with their secrets and what not. Streamers have been the fastest in completing the game while youtube videos are lacking in how far along they are in the game. It's so common for games to be 100% completed by people who got the game early now a days, but Fromsoftware games get to keep their secrets if only for a few more days and weeks.
The game is cazry, I really hope their next thing keeps the verticality because going back will feel like a downgrade. The zones are wild.
Getting another souls or Bloodborne game without a jump button would sting, having these traversal tools really make for a great world to explore in Sekiro.
It's refreshing how straight forward the story in Sekiro is too,"everyone wants to be immortal and they'll commit any crime to get it", is pretty easy to understand. People will flip out at the things they're not used to from Fromsoft games, looking forward to where they could take this now.
It's definitely way more of a departure than Bloodborne, even if a lot of the core Souls stuff is still there. Sort of how Devil May Cry and Onimusha were built on the core of Resident Evil.
It doesn't remind me of Tenchu that much outside of the setting. I remember Tenchu being more of a pure stealth game like Hitman where if it turns into a big fight you basically failed, and so far the stealth in this seems more additive.
I think there's always the period where people run high on emotions and need to calm down for a week or more and consider the hills they've climbed to beat these games. They'll realise they got stronger and can now face the difficulty the game offers. What people consider hard depends on their mastery of the game and that takes time my dudes. Once that time has passed people will call Sekiro easy as pie and forget they experienced the learning curve to call it that, which is kind of dumb that people do that. There is a larger conversation to be had about that once speedrunners break this game wide open.
That said i am more interested in all-bosses speedruns in souls games rather than getting the fastest to get ending like in BB runs, and boy does Sekiro have some optional bosses.

I agree. It doesn't go far enough to be Tenchu and is more of the action-stealth you'd get in a Batman game. It's more like Revengence Souls with jank stealth elements.
Sekiro is damn good so far, crappy hitboxes aside. The level verticality is gonna be hard to go back from depending on what they do next. Not gonna lie I was hoping for more of a departure from the Souls formula.
I hear a lot about bad Camera's in From games. But when i look at the streamer-entertainment person they got themselves corned and sealed off 2 to 3 movement options they can't dodge into anymore. The solution for the camera would be to turn the walls invisible, however this doesn't give you the ability to phase through walls. Get yourself in a bad position and flail about without re-positioning yourself to a better spot and the bad camera excuse turns to easy johns when the real problem was being impatient and trying to get hits in from a disadvantageous position.
It hasn't been mentioned, but Matt is playing through Asura's Wrath and holy shit I forgot how much I actually like that game. Its all style over substance but damn if it isn't some crazy cool style.
Also, I the camera in Sekiro is one of the worst in souls. Not so much that it is mechanically worse, but whenver they give you a miniboss in a hallway be prepared to not be able to see them and for it to untrack the moment they leap into the air to drop kick you.

Not the worst camera just the same, again people want the invisible walls system.
Also wasn't Asura's Wrath dunked on exclusively because they got copyright striked back in the day for it or some suit prevented them from playing it?
My b. It got lost in all the Sekiro talk.
I appreciate how you knew exactly who I was talking about.
I remember they were going to do a one off where Zach played it but that never ended up happening.
They had many segments on the podcast where they said they'd never do it, but Matt was especially mad about the ending dlc back then. Now it's just a movie on youtube and it will be fine that way.
On Twitter a bunch of people requested that Pat play VtMB when he asked what folks would like after Sekiro. I'm eager to learn if I will see the damn day... and how will it go?
im playing sekiro and then watching pat's stream up til the point where he's going to get into stuff i haven't done, then playing more. it's really funny to see how even of a playing field this game is between me, a person who played DS1 a little, and Pat, who played all of these types of games (even the non-From ones).
My stealth game skills have also really helped, it's hilarious seeing chat say "give up on stealth, there's no way to do it" when it's actually a super simple path if you pay attention to how detection works.
EDIT: welp, I guess i'm going to have to beat the drunkard before i can watch any more.

i've gotten the "clear out small fries" down, even got a stealth deathblow on him to start, i just need to master the whole "jump over sweeps instead of dodging away" thing.
having three different defensive options fucks me up
EDIT: ok well i got im. still a bit ashamed that i only beat him with the health and attack upgrades while pat beat him at base level. But to be fair I beat the Shinobi hunter at base level.

Man, I wish I'd had the patience to do it that way. I went around around to the left, backstabbed the first shield guy, then picked off the other minions one by one as I kited the drunkard around. Still used the NPC to help kill him in the end, but only after I got one of his lives down. NPC died at the last second and I felt real bad about it but it was too late to die and reset the fight...
finished pat's first stream and made sure i didn't see anything i hadn't done myself yet. Guess i'll watch Woolie's perspective of the first bit next! heard he had a much different experience, which makes sense considering their different approaches to games.
i haven't seen literally any liam content since he left tbf. would you recommend it to someone who likes woolie and pat's solo stuff?
Liam's stream is great. It's a truly chill, unobtrusive experience, and he plays a lot of interesting things that I wouldn't have looked at if he hadn't as well as hot stuff.
I don't watch him as much as Woolie or Pat but I think his stuff is great, as other people here said his streams are really chill and it's nice to watch.
Agreed, Liams my go to for press/direct stuff.
YIS
What if you had a niche YouTube channel dedicated to fighting games and character action and indies and niche Japanese bullshit and wanted all your life to pilot a robot, but God said:
i am enjoying woolie's archive but i don't understand how badly he misinterprets what minh is saying sometimes. Minh asked if he thinks the souls-like trend is dead/going away any time soon, and woolie goes on this long wandering thing about how big the souls games' impact has been on the industry. It's literally like do you think Nioh 2 is going to be a success, yes or no, and he instead takes it as a derogatory view of the souls series.
Minh's questions/comments aren't usually that complicated or out of left field, but woolie kind of overcomplicates them and never really gets to the core of what was being said.

Watching the wha happen? for Anthem and i fucking forgot that the devs once compared Anthem with Bob Dylan for the milestone in gaming it would be.
Also Pat fucking SSS-ranked the final boss in Sekiro, all of stream chat and most of the castle super beast audience got blown the fuck out by that, can't make fun of Pat with that kind of display. Backseaters on blast. Most of the fans complaining in chat would probably take 10 times the attempts.
Wasn't no damage or whatever but it was clean enough.I imagine Max will be crying for a whole evening when he gets there.
