as far as theme and setting is concerned, some of the novelty of dark souls and Bloodborne comes from the mix of western and eastern influences and I don't know how much of that applies to sekiro

I was really surprised to get a memory when that guy died. His fight was short enough that I thought he was a miniboss

okay so i got guardian ape down to like 20% on second phase and he just stopped moving, he just rotates to track me. pretty sure he's glitched because it's been a straight minute of this, i'm afraid to move closer because i have no heals lol. his loving head in his hand is just glaring at me its really weird

(noob poo poo) I feel like I should be dodging grabs that I'm not, like the enemy will literally spin on an axis for half a second before grabbing me. It looks and feels extremely weird

I found that you have to dodge later than you think you do for grabs, I think dodges don’t have many I-frames and the timing is a little different from Souls/Bloodborne

im clearing up the endgame and just now am getting used to jumping instead of dodging when a sweep attack is coming

u talking about the chained ogre right? that things diving grab is annoying .. try grappling the tree or something when u see it coming, or dodging straight backwards. doesnt seem easy to dodge it sideways

a lot of grabs seem to have low hitboxes to encourage using jump to dodge. with ogre i think i used run to avoid em tho

The tracking is frankly hosed up sometimes. A lot of times I feel like jumping is better than dodging vs grabs.

Yeah i been jumping grabs, although some enemies do aerial grabs specifically to gently caress that up which looks cool

that specific grab is the only one i had any trouble with avoiding the regular way. cos of the massive reach and tracking and you dont have mikiri counter at that point. otherwise i havent had any problem with hitboxes or anything like that .. but the games just hard, i dont mind admitting that as someone whos put thousands of hrs into the souls series. its a step up from even bloodborne

the ape's grab hitbox in particular either ends like an inch from the ground, or just refuses to connect if youre in the air, cuz ive been spared by it a good number of times when i was less than a foot off the floor
