Sekiro is too difficult

[Torgo]

the game is a masterpiece, and i congratulate From Soft and Miyazaki for sticking to their vision. cuz i reckon there would have been pressure to dumb this one down and fill it with tutorials, easy mode and microtransactions.

reading all the people crying about the difficulty on the internet, made me think of a quote from Jonathan Blow relating to The Witness. he said he didn't design his game for everyone to be able to complete it, and that it's ok if some people never get through it. I was never able to beat Stephen's Sausage Roll despite putting 60 hours into it.

i still haven't beaten all the bosses, but I haven't had this much fun in a videogame in years, i had my doubts about Sekiro so it has been a really pleasant surprise.

You shouldnt say something like that without knowing every boss. Some of them.. really are hard at first. Some mini bosses also are a surprise the first time you fight them.

Let us know when you hit the end game. Happy you're enjoying it though!

Anyone that says the game is too easy is using a trainer. The game is not "too easy". It's not stupidly hard either. It's the perfect difficulty designed to set a barrier in your way and for you to overcome it. I honestly can't believe a game with a difficulty this perfect even exists in this age.

sekiro is wierd. some bosses/mini bosses are super easy and then some are so painfully knuckle biting you start to wonder if your playing the same game. the art in the game is its strongest positive. the games so gosh darn pretty! it makes anor londo from DS1 look like a mud puddle.

maybe u super pro or just trying to be the coolest kid, im on the ng+ and there are many hard enemies specially the last boss, anyway i think problem seing forums is people trying to play like souls using the evades and this game is 100% about blocking and parrys.

Play the whole game before you start making this kind of statement. There are some really hard fights down the line.

If its not hard enough for you take off the charm and ring the Demon bell. You will lose about 80% of your hp for failing to do a perfect parry to the final boss.

80%?! That is ruthless.

I might be exaggerating a little but it really spikes the difficulty.

Some of the bosses attack will damage you even with normal blocks. You can only avoid damage by dodging or doing pefect parry.

Also the final boss has the same sword draw ability which takes a good chunk of your HP even when you're blocking.

I'm also playing this on NG+ so maybe that affected something.

I'm joking about it being "too easy" btw, I thought my sarcasm would have been obvious but apparently not.
I think the game is balanced really well, and the harder bosses are optional. People can farm items if they're really struggling. The level of challenge is exactly what I was looking for.

They are only optional if you are a coward.

Aha! We have yet another chest beating let me tell you how good I am at a video game thread. In that case, Ill offer you the same I offered the last dude.

YOUR SO GOOD! This man, is indeed very skilled at this video game. He wants us to recognize this. Its ok, everyone needs a good ol pat on the head sometimes. Though some more than others apparently. Hope that was enough ego stroking to hold you over for a little.
