Tbf Isshin is a long as fuck boss and is extremely aggressive even compared to other bosses, he is easily cheesed though, but that adds to the playtime. He has one of the worse evolutions of souls borne formula of having multiple phases with new moves that you can't expect and sometimes be insta kills (or combo into insta kills). If the devs removed the first phase he would have been way less aggravating because you don't need to kill his jobber nephew every time.

I think all the human bosses in Sekiro are miles and leagues easier than the nonhuman bosses by virtue of pure readability when it comes to parries. Not to say that having to fight genishiro everytime isn't annoying, but if I had to pick between say, fighting owl everytime or guardian ape everytime before ishin I'd pick owl.

Maybe this is a hot take but if they ever do sekiro 2 do I wish they'll just completely do away with nonuhuman bosses. (Except a headless ape comeback for the meme)
 
Been out of the loop for a while; does this game still get updates? I've been thinking about hopping back in, but I'm completely lost on what to try and run now.

When Jewsh tried playing it on stream.me way back when I think he got filtered by one of those generic general minibosses from before you even get to Gyobu, so using that as a metric for game journalist mode they'd probably start cheating fairly early on. Not sure if that stream even got archived though because stream.me died pretty soon after that.

Are you truly retarded? I was the one defending the idiots on reddit being happy with the asset flip.

You are the ones who came up with this bullshit.

I think you should kill yourself.

Really? Because you're coming across as an angry bitch. An angry unpleasant bitch that gets angry at words on a screen.

I don't want you to kill yourself, I just want you to be a better person.

Did he go full DSP?

I dunno about half the fights being harder but taking the headline at face value is preposterous. The likely scenario is that the dude turned the cheats on much much earlier. What's Sekiro's filter boss? Genichiro? The Ape? That's where he'd have done it.
Also I'm pretty sure the second ape fight is optional but that's neither here nor there.

The first one. That's why I haven't played that bitch

More like the fact that parries at least work on human bosses, where the non-human ones turn the game into a bad Dark Souls because Okami-dono doesn't do that much health damage with his sword. Demon of Hatred is the prime example of a boss that'd be great in Elden Ring and is terrible in Sekiro. Guardian Ape (forma sin cabeza) actually gets posture broken without whittling away all of his health and is basically just a large human boss with weird movements. He's also not too hard to read considering how large his room is and the camera tracking him well.
Speaking of which, people say Sekiro fixed the camera issues that Elden Ring has, but playing the game again recently I found that is wrong. Your camera still hates walls and will get bunched up against it bad. The interior of Ashina Castle is pretty bad about this (especially that one room just below Isshin's room). I think people just forgot (or have never played the game and are just parroting an opinion) that most bosses in that game are human sized, the largest ones are nowehere near as big as the largest in Elden Ring, and that besides Father Owl and Lady Butterfly none of the main bosses take place in an inclosed room.

Eh, it grows on you if you let it, but I can understand not liking the more gimmicky aspects like the stamina bar and deathblows vs just an hp bar for enemies/bosses like in souls. That and the skill trees are kinda boring and take forever to develop. I did end up liking it, but it's not as mindblowing as it's made out to be by some vs its other fromsoft cousins.
 
man a lot of teenagers seem to hate this game for some reason, the youngest person i know who plays this game is my 22 year old cousin, it can't be down to just difficulty

Thanks. I never did try out the DLC; hell, I never even got all that far in the game last I tried, so I think giving the game one last go is in order. As weird as it may sound, I had an idea for a Dragon Form/Rock Heart build, once I get through the DLC. Was looking to take some design ideas from the several black dragons in Souls games - Kalameet, Sinh, Midir, and now Bayle - make a Dragon Communion build based on them. I know the Dragon Form in Elden Ring isn't all that great, but it seems like a neat idea regardless.

Any suggestions, for the curious? Weapons, spells, anything?

right now im doing dual uchigatanas, I don't mess with magic that much personally unless its for summons, ive always found it easier to just use a melee build in souls games

Same, honestly; only time I ever touched magic was testing out a few builds in DS3, and even then I still preferred melee. Wanted to try something new this go-around; still going to be mostly melee for the reliability, but I also want to have a little more versatility. Given that I'll be using the Dragon Form, Communion spells are a given; I was just wondering on some fitting weapons. Or spells, if anyone wants to suggest a specific one.
