There has been a conversation surrounding easy modes in video games, which has gotten way out of hand. “Sekiro Shadows Die Twice,” From Software’s latest game has come out and just like most From games, shortly after release the conversation about its difficulty has sparked furious debate amongst gamers alike. Yet, this time around conversation has turned towards “accessibility” in video games. Giving people with disabilities the capabilities to take aspects of a game’s software to find tune the game to where they too can play. Though that all sounds fine, does this inhibit game developers from making their vision of their game?
A sequel to the studio's acclaimed title, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, would be the perfect swan song for long-time video game director Hidetaka Miyazaki.
I just don't see it happening given the success of Elden Ring. I think we'll be seeing a sequel to Elden Ring before anything else.
I'm not into souls games but it's good to see that this dev studio stick to what makes their titles unique, there's alot of souls copy n pasted games but they rarely get talked about cause they're looked at as copies and not original created ideas, the souls games are unique cause they offer they're own identity instead imitating I respect that
Or Bloodborne 2 preferably both but that’s a lot to ask if he plans on retiring sooner than later
Bloodborne 2 or I'd simply love a 60fps remaster. I'd also love a bloodborne randomiser option.
I'm definitely holding out hope for a Bloodborne 60fps remaster still. Some extra features thrown in would be nice too.
With regards to a sequel, I'd actually rather From Software make another new IP with a different setting. That is what made Bloodborne so good - the fact that it took a proven formula and applied it to a completely new setting.
With this feature, we will be taking a look at Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice all these years later and break down why it remains such a great time.
I regret i never played it, like many other great games!! Still on my radar, when i become retro gamer in a year or two with all this gaas crap happening around
Absolutely. Amazing art design, and didn’t have the Bloodborne problem so it runs at 60FPS on newer hardware, which is amazing given the reaction based gameplay
This one title that never clicked with me. I enjoyed Dark Souls, Demon Souls and Bloodborne, but I never warmed up to Sekiro’s parry-focused combat. I honestly gave up on the game at about the half way point.
Me too. But after the Stellar Blade demo and parrying like crazy I’m tempted to go back and play this again
Took me a couple years too get into when I first bought it. I had gotten so used to Bloodborne that the gameplay was genuinely confusing me. Picked it up a third time and clicked. The game is souls stripped of all its RPG elements and left with nothing but it's combat. It's Souls at its pureness but I can see why the combat would turn people off. That's why I liked it so much tho, without the choice of weapons it's very focused on a specific style. I think a sequel with a small selection of weapons but each fleshed out would be the right step.
My problem with Sekiro was the combat, I didn’t find it as engaging as Bloodborne, DarkSouls due to the lack of RPG elements. I even found action games like Ninja Gaiden 1-2 and Ghost of Tsushima more engaging as well.
The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?
Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.
Still DS1? You don't feel it's been surpassed yet?
Demon's Souls has the remake of course, but DS1 has surely been outdated?
I think that the DS1 remake is better looking than DS2. The interior lighting matched with the low resolution textures in DS2 is very garish, IMO.
Besides graphics, what do you mean by DS1 being "outdated"? I'm someone who played through Elden Ring and just recently played through the DS series, and as far as gameplay went, there were all very similar.
I haven’t played many but Bloodborne and NIOH1 are on top of my list.. had a blast with these 2
For world design and interconnectedness (that's a word, right?) DS1 is yet to be beaten.
I would agree, but there are some things in DS2 that are great and incredibly memorable. It tries to do things differently, and there are some amazingly cinematic moments.
Of course, there's also poor level design (particularly the interconnectivity of the world), questionable combat choices and some of the worst boss runs since the early days of video games...
Bah. The "journalists" got ridiculed because of their crybaby narrative about needing an easy mode so they decided to shift the debate to accessibility. And that argument falls flat considering there's videos of quadriplegics beating the game. They're trying to sound like they're activists fighting towards a noble cause when in truth they are just unskilled players that found out that writing about games is not all fun when you have to cover the harder games. They should abstain from covering games that they suck at altogether and stick to something more down their alley.
Whats next.? .ask Ferrari to make cheaper cars so anyone can afford?
I dont know why all the noise.in..almost all games you can choose a difficult level of your choise....the dark souls series borned from the fact that some gamers want more hardcore games like the old good days that most games where brutal..like ghost n goblins..y had to finish it twice in a row with fixed lives to see the ending.the from software games are hard..but not so hard..as people claim..I mean is just a fact that the new gamers playing fps all the time and open world games..that use you as a vacuum cleaner...many of that gamers dont want to afford the time to learn the new mechanics..of the game and they want eagerly ro return to lets say fortnight..
So lets accept that there is hard games out there for the people they want to play that kind of games.
Its like a friend of mine that he complains that the pvp games are hard and that its sucks because of glitches,lag,cheats etc
No accept that in these kind of games y suck and continue with your life or train to be better.
End of story
Can we just be done with this topic already?
Stop complain being a beta and learn the game. These complainers don't have the testicular fortitude to beat this game, so they cry like babies.
Some games just isn't for everyone...
