Game difficulty?

[Laxusthunder]

Its okay to call me ♥♥♥♥ cat gamer cuz I've filtered out souls like game by default cuz usually I don't like too much pain. Only exception might be ER, and I only manage tp get to stormveil after like 60h lol. And this is with mods that significantly reduce grinding for runes and drop rates.

Anyway, how is the difficulty compared to Nioh? I asked because while I can tolerate ER to a point, I can't even beat Nioh tutorial xD.

I've never played Nioh, but Sifu has three difficulty levels (Easy, Standard, and Hard), one of the first two should suit your needs - you can switch to Easy in the middle of your session if Normal proves to be too difficult. Aside from a couple roadblocks, I wouldn't say Sifu is actually that hard, but it may take a while to get a grasp on its enemies and mechanics.

If you end up picking up the game, don't forget to check out the tutorial by interacting with the wooden dummy (it's somewhat obscuredly hidden for no good reason).

Also don't listen to the people who say that. Elitism and gatekeeping are cringe.

Pick difficulty you have the most fun... just don't care what other people say

it doesn't take 60 hours to get to storm veil because the game is hard. You probably just don't try to fix mistakes, or you don't think about it very much

😁You're right. Can't even beat the red Malenia NPC invasion. I had since quit and gonna count this "little playthrough"as a little ER misadventure and stop at that, seeing I don't feel triumphant nor learn much.

.... Ima also very stubborn in using strategies that clearly aren't working so one day I might pick it up again 😁😁 Maybe it would be different, or maybe not. Ima cool with that.

Okay, so, Sifu is brutally hard...

BUT!

Most of the difficulty comes down to learning what moves work, and how your enemies move. The more you play, and observe and internalize the enemy attack patterns, the easier it will become.

I sucked at first. Now, I can get through the entire game without getting a game over.

If you get really stuck on a boss, look it up on youtube, see what the attack patterns are, and you will be a lot better prepared to deal with it when you see it.

That and the more you play the game, the more shortcuts you find, which will allow you to skip parts of the level, and thus die less often (until you master the ideal path that takes you through the least amount of the level, while also taking you past the most Upgrade Shrines)

It just requires time, practice, and some dedication.

You don't need epic level ninjutsu reflexes to beat the game. :)
