JBP posted:You're the most powerful monster in Sekiro it rules. This. You have no stamina bar. Your attacks are relentless and unending. When the enemy finally decides to get an attack in edgewise, you shut them down brutally with a parry/counter/face-kick and go right back into keeping the pressure up. You are in control of the fight and you make the enemy react, rather than the other way around. There are some rare attacks that you need to dodge or that are worth dodging, but dodging is a quick dash to evade, followed up by immediately attacking again. I remember learning this lesson against the illusion summoning lady early on in the game - by constantly sticking to her and keeping her on the defensive, she was never actually able to pull off the summoning. By constantly parrying her attacks and keeping up my own attacks, I filled her stagger bar incredibly quickly and ended the fight much faster than when I was still treating the game like a Souls game.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:I just got in the habit of calling it a perfect parry because of all the nomenclature confusion seems like we had a perfectly serviceable thing going with "block" being just defending without timing and "parry" being "block with timing" but every new game that comes along needs to put their own loving stank on it for some reason looking at you revengeance, with your "parry" and "counter-parry" nonsense

Perfect Potato posted:Yeah the sharpening is pretty insane compared to base dsr, also I think I used the wrong screenshot there since it's missing details (think you have to use geforce to get the full processing effect), here's a better one. I never noticed the freaky tentacles before. Definitely want to do the opposite of regular dsr and crank smoothness up to at least 33-50% Yeah, I have my smoothness set to 33% which I think is the default value, and the image looks pretty good to my eyes.

You are in control of the fight and you make the enemy react, rather than the other way around. Another way to think of it is that when you attack an enemy, you pre-stagger them. That is, they cancel their own behavior, and perform a block animation. They only get an opportunity to attack when their AI rolls high enough on a RNG that they gain the ability to ignore your next attack, in which case you need to smoothly transition into your own blocks.

It's a truly bizarre phenomenon, yet entirely consistent, that anyone getting an early leaked copy of a game will be absolutely loving terrible at it. It's like some weird cosmic balance poo poo.

Cowcaster posted:now i'm having a flashback to close to 10 years before that one of my earliest forum memories of telling some guy that the best way to practice counterattacks in ninja gaiden was to go to this one place in this sewer where it only spawns in yellow imps that have no attacks that can break your block so you could just stand there and let them wail on you while you got the timing down. i'm old. And 10 years before that? We had hope jobs and cash. Now we almost have elden ring

The problem with parrying is that once you start you just can’t stop even when you miss constantly

I never liked parrying because the animation is always too long (especially those where the character does two hits) and feels to me like it takes away player agency. I bounced hard off sekiro and haven't really loved BB where those felt almost required. Maybe I'll like the new active guard counter thing in Elden Ring, but in all likelihood I'll just become a wizard and snipe everything from afar.

I gotta say, those system requirements scare me and I am already thinking of impulse buying some parts so i can run it. I'm currently on a six year old i5 with a gtx 960 (I think?) and 4 gigs of RAM. I might just try to play it anyway....
