Better than Sekiro?
I'm glad to see Ubisoft making a good samurai game because Sekiro is cool game but way too hard to play. From Software refuses to let players have fun so I'm happy about this game coming out.

Better game to compare to is Ghost Of Tsushima and i can say its not better at all. Assassin creed shadow just Valhalla in japan.

As long as half the game isn't spent in some sort of God fantasy land like Valhalla was, it should be better.

It is...which limits them from enjoying the game.

Valid choice for the developers to go for, but, the difficulty of some of those games does turn off a lot of the potential audience.
10000000000000% agree. They would sell easily 10x the amount if they put in a difficulty slider or added the ability to skip a boss after you haven't beat it in say 10-15 tries or something, because I love the combat in the games, it's just that the trash mobs are always waaaaaay more fun than most of the bosses due to them not being quite the 'twitch fest' that boss battles are most of the time.

Sekiro is an incredible game. The combat in that actually broke me to the point I can't touch anything dark souls with roll - bait - punish. It feels so basic and tiresome. Fighting in sekiro is like a dance that only people who enjoyed it will understand. When you're in the heat of the moment and just the sound of swords clashing you get lost in sauce and nothing else really matters.

Ubisoft just isn't capable of hitting that same mark. That's not to say the game will be straight up bad. It'll be meh. Another half baked assassins creed game. Played worse played better. Much like Outlaws I picked it up cheap on their premium+ thing it wasn't good or bad just okay. Ubisoft have been happy with "okay" for a long time now. Quantity over quality and all that. I actually looked into a couple days ago over the last 18 years Ubisoft released 31 AC games (including spin offs) the formula gets real odd at that point.

Hell no. Sekiro feels more like torture than a dance. You can trust Ubisoft for making a samurai game that people can actually enjoy (see assassin's creed games for proof). From Software caters more to people who hate their lives and want to play games that are as unfun as possible.

I have never had as much fun in a game as Sekiro, full agree. If I had to pick one FromSoft game to play for the rest of my life, it'd be Sekiro. Probably even narrow it down to Corrupted Monk.

If that is how you feel, which is fine, AC:S is a given for you. The games basically play themselves as long as you have the right hat equipped. I'd say preorder man.

I haven't play Sakiro, but this game isn't comparable. It's Assassin's Creed, and I'd happily pick Assassin's Creed over Sakiro.

If your new to the series, you definitely need to go buy some AC games for your Steam library.

I think I have only finished like two ACs. If that.

I have a bunch of them and some have dozens of hours played. I don't care at all about the overarching story and the smaller scale stories of each entry are hit or miss for me. But, the gameplay and settings are almost always a good time for me. I wonder if I will actually complete this one? Sounds like the story is supposed to be good here. Also wonder how long the gameplay will stay fresh.

I have been wanting to play AC Rogue, sitting in my library. Some day. But I hear that one was really good, kinda under appreciated.
Two different types of games, imo.
Completly different games.

I have Sekiro in my library. Completly untouched, bought it on a sale & regretted it, a whole game centered around timed block & parries is not my thing at all.

Those are not the same games.
Yes, they take place in medieval Japan, but they don't try to do the same thing.
Do give a try to Sekiro on very deep sale, maybe you'll like it!
I know that it's world design really is what kept me going in it, while it is MUCH too difficult for me lol.

sweet jesus do you have a life? do you just go to every single forum and do this? first monster hunter world with the ridiculous question threads, then dead space, then starfield, then monster hunter again and then the new monster hunter, now here?

Do you mean the Bull that's on fire? One of the few fights that pulls away from the clashing of swords aspect. Usually just stick to his side and slap him in the butt. Lmao. I'd say the first test is really Genichiro unless you go to Hirata first then it's Lady Butterfly. The game isn't easy but it has less bull crap than other From games. If you die there's an extremely high chance you honestly just made a mistake. Can't say the same for the other games. Especially where DS 2 hit boxes are concerned.
