They couldve also just shown it at their own event with Bandai. Miyazaki is GOATed for this.

Sorry Dark Souls is just kinda overrated in my opinion. The story is between non-existent, incoherent and not interesting. The combat is tedious and clunky. The RPG/character building stuff is decent enough, but not enough for me to trudge through it all.

Sekiro is way better than Souls, imo.

If its Dark Souls combat with Witcher 3 open world, it's the formula for the greatest game of all time.

Maybe Id actually finish TW3 lol. Everything but the damn combat and inventory system is pretty much best in class.

Try playing TW3 after Bloodborne, your brain will be rattled by the appalling combat.
 
I just noticed that boss with the red sword attack after the dragon is a freaking cat knight, this game is crazy.

These guys have the best boss designs, the graphics don't look like next-gen but that is fine. It will run 60fps and have amazing atmosphere anyway.

DS is pretty much deified at this point so maybe its overrated to those who went in expecting something special after hearing about it but its easily one of the best games ever. The story is not non existent, incoherent or uninteresting, and just because it doesnt adhere to the mainstream way of stry telling, doesnt mean that its not some of the most deep, rich and satisfying stories in the medium. You just need to do some reading and playing to learn it, or watch some lore videos if youre too lazy to decide for yourself.

I like Sekiro, it has maybe the best combat system out of any action game Ive played. They pretty much perfected the rhythm type action that Batman Arkham games were trying to do so your opinion has merit imo.

What do you think Sekiro does better than Souls? Story or gameplay? I think Sekiro is worse in every possible way.

I think Sekiro has better combat, but thats about it. Im not gonna compare bosses etc, since theyre mainly affected by the hardware the games are developed for etc.

On my third rewatch, its so directly takes assets from all the DS/BB/Sekiro games but moulded them into something new.

Hell the 'plin plin' piano notes at the end were basically Gwyn's theme from DS. Those notes could make an old man like me cry. I love the sound design/mixing for the VO/OST.

We may have just witnessed the second trailer for the best game From's made. I dont think theyve made a trailer that great.

Surprised that you even see some Dark Souls 2 influence in it

My only gripe with sekiro is that it is more for Dark Souls players like parrying. You can stand still and win every boss fight if youre a deflect pro.

Still an amazing top-tier game though

I honestly found the combat pretty boring after learning how to parry everything effectively. I like that they tried something different but it just wasn't for me. I don't have much else to criticise about the game tho, it's still great. Just not on Soulsborne level for me.

Thats mainly why I enjoyed Sekiro, cause I was never someone who parried, so I had to adapt to the game. Once I did that, I had the most cathartic action gameplay Ive had in a videogame since BB [through all the rage haha]. Loved it, but I still dont think its in my top 2 From games.

I get it, not everyone likes parrying etc. I like rhythm type games and I treated this one as such. Once I get into a flow in Sekiro, its like youre unbeatable.

Only Hatred Demon seemed like a boss not made for the game, wtf was that shit.
