About the path to reach the Demon of Hatred and company philosophy

[Catatonic Twitch Streamer]

After all hell broke loose and the invasion of the great castle started, naturally you want to try to go backwards but quickly realize that its entrance is now BLOCKED.

You try go the other way across the bridge, that has been suddenly repaired, but quickly realize the way leading down through the canyon, the Underbridge valley is now BLOCKED.

You can try to backtrack all the way back to the starting area, achieve some progress but soon realize you can't either and that it's is now BLOCKED.

But there at the fifth gate in enemy territory, where you once fought the first mini boss General Naomori Kawarada, there is a now a shrine you can sit at, and somehow it teleports you all the way to the Ashina Castle Gate where you once fought Gyoubu Oniwa, the general on the horse, but instead encounter the Demon of Hatred... It's one of the areas that is actually between the canyon and the very entrance of the Castle, really far away from the actual starting area or that aforementioned gate respectively,

I could have arranged myself with the pain of fighting recycled bosses, but this is the one major scandal that makes me never reinstall this game or buy anything from FromSoftware again. I considered reinstalling today, for the lack of online functionality of other titles, but remembered the foul aftertaste this game left behind and came to write this instead.

They should have worked on these lacking areas and released the game 2 weeks later or should have at least had the decency to patch it soon afterwards and ask for forgiveness, not stay ignorant about it and leave it neglected.

What's the higher meaning of all of this, I wonder.

Were the employees of FromSoftware sending an SOS and deliberatly hinting at their own demise and transformation from the savior, the helping hand, -the Sculptor-, or maybe even the horse rider into something much more sinister, into the Demon of Hatred??? Trying to blackout their origins, and equally the fight against the Serpent and the path towards greatness, they were once leading us through, ending in resignation and everything engulfed in flames and a trembeling castle that is a metaphor for the vision of their own company.

Once you pick up the white flower in the cave, EVERYTHING is changed. That is how the story of the game is. You CANNOT backtrack. But if you don't accept it, it is your right to say it out.
Just curious, have you missed out anything that make you want to go back? Unless you haven't faced the lone swordman in the bit where Sekiro was right at the beginning of the game... Oh dear, you miss out a prayer bead.

What's your point?

So you think the company will go down in flames because of problems with Sekiro? Are you aware of Elden Ring? It did quite well for them.

I am just proving, it already has. And what do you even mean by "it did quite well for them"?

That it was one of the biggest games of the decade and took the company to a new level of success. I’m sure we will now get to hear your subjective opinion on why you don’t like that either but it’s irrelevant. You claimed the company will and has gone down in flames but it’s easy enough for anyone to look up and see they are now one of the most successful devs in the world.

Whats your problem in here? There is much text, describing somewhat Sekiro, but I can't actually find what you complain about.

You go to the Castle entrance, where you beat Gyobu, the horseman, and there is a new boss. So? Is that this "major scandal"? That From Software forces you to fight twice in the same location?

Or maybe you have troubles understanding Sekiro lore, as you probably dont know who the Demon of Hatred is?

I know Sekiro quite well, really. If you have any actual problems, I will be glad to help.

Maybe we got different interpretations of the word success, but to me, it is hard to call something a success with flaws as obvious as these. It's convenient to watch advertisements and have something portrayed bigger than what it is, but almost impossible to play through the game and not see these flaws and then not complain about them when you have devloped any self-respect. I don't say this game is irrelevant, but that, in the end they also treated it like it was. So, can you please try to establish a higher set of values and be sincere instead of just trying to be easy-going?

My values and level of self respect are light years ahead of yours (just look at how you communicate lol). We certainly do have a different interpretation of the word success though, mine is based on the objective definition of the word and yours is based on a subjective standard that only exists inside of your head. Please continue arguing that From hasn’t been successful though as it’s hilarious to watch you put yourself through these mental gymnastics to justify your subjective feelings.
