      Ah yes, even though, sometimes, after dying to a tough enemy, i feel so frustrated that shura might visit me, i still end up having fun and feeling as if i lifted mount everest with one hand after defeating a challenging enemy. The visual style of this game and the sountrack are fantastic as well. So, when you finish the game, it'll feel as if you did the impossible, and that feeling is amazing. But untill then, the flames of hatred rage on sometimes.

    When I reached the second fight with the Headless Ape I expressed a healthy amount of contempt the moment the second ape appeared and wrecked me. My wife, who doesn’t play games and has no interest in them, offered to beat it for me (how droll). I told her if she beat it I’d quit playing video games forever. She leaped at the chance. I showed her the controls, and she proceeded to kick the absolute shit out of the Headless Ape by spamming Mortal Draw. She even attacked through its terror scream, and staggered it, something I didn’t know you could even do. I was spared when the second ape came down, and she got pinned against a wall, making the camera go screwy. I still think giving up games would have been worth seeing someone with zero experience beat that boss.

      @krishnansubramoni7801 3 роки тому +45

      I do admit that having to run back to a boss can seem like it is just padding, but FromSoftware are usually geniuses at video game design. In Souls, that walk lets you cool off from your previous defeat. This is important because if you just run in full aggressive, then most of the Souls bosses will just kill you faster. Souls games reward patience and analysis. And most bosses share a similar rhythm to the area they are in, so it kinda gets you prepared.
      Meanwhile, Sekiro bosses are nothing like the area you traverse to get to them. You can slowly stealth/fight through the area, but the bosses have a completely different rhythm. So it makes perfect sense that Sekiro checkpoints are very close to the bosses.

      Your argument (if that can be called an argument) is what sounds as just garbage to me.
      What is the ultimate purpose of a game?? Bring fun to the player. Since "fun" is a subjective concept, the best thing to do in terms of game development is to make the difficulty modular, so each player can adjust the difficulty to it's own preference, whether it's a hardcore or casual gamer.

    4:49 I never realized how the stark difference between the dodge mechanic and the parry. How the previous games were made with dodging at their main mechanic but in this one they actually asked what would happened if not only you take that away but actually wanted the enemy to hit you. That's mind blowing. An "Obstacle is The Way" attitude.
    And not only worked, the best mechanic so far was created and it's one of the most ingenious and viscerally beautiful things that i ever saw. It's my favorite gamestyle cause of how it forces you to be brave.

    How did I spend my entire life watching IGN reviews when I could’ve been watching “Girlfriend Reviews.” I’ve been missing out my whole life. Great editing, funny skits, great review, and I love this content. SUBSCRIBED AND LIKED. Keep up the great content! 😭💕👌🏼
