I'm going to continue onto some more impactful bosses and see if it is infant way satisfying or if I can get this shadow of Owl (father) that keeps hanging over my head to dissipate. Yes I take this shit way too seriously. On a side note, been parrying attacks like an absolute pro, something I could only ever read and do on bosses in BB before. Also, the frame rate is absolute ads and the resolution could do with a remastering, already with just 4 years. Looks like a ps3 game after so many 4k 45-60fps titles recently it's super hard to adjust and I can't tell if it is an hindrance to my success. |
Haha, I did the same thing, but with DS3. I have it on PC though compared to Sekiro on PS4 Pro, so I actually noticed an upgrade in performance and resolution. It was very hard to get used to having such a small stamina bar, as opposed to being able to swing and run around as much as I liked. Not having a good jump mechanic was also difficult to get used to. It took a few encounters to get back into the habit of dodge rolling again.
But that was only very briefly (maybe an hour).
What I have actually been playing recently is Dragon Quest 11 and Octopath Traveler. I still have not beaten DQ11 yet, but I hit 127 hours of playtime, and am approaching the end of the game.
In Octopath, Chapter 1 was finished with every character last I picked it up, and I managed to finish my first two story arcs for the second chapter, as well as acquired three sub jobs.
I did download the Surge and I actually played for a few hours and got to the second area of the game. The combat is very clunky, and it doesn't help that I'm fighting robots. The weapons all feel fairly week, but I did appreciate the depth in terms of stats and character progression. It's odd because I enjoyed Lords of the Fallen enough to purchase it after first renting it, and I finished the entire game, but this game feels like a step back (it's very possible it's coming off the heels of Sekiro that makes it seem worse than it actually is, but I don't want to hate on it too much).
There's still a bit of a void after playing Sekiro; I hadn't enjoyed a game so much in a long time (well, since the last FromSoft game, really).
