Literally nothing went wrong, it's too hard for some people but that's to be expected. Also it's most fun FROM game to 100% IMO.
People are too infatuated with parry-based combat to take an objective look at the game. It's the smallest and shortest From game while also reusing the most amount of content.
Latency.
It Is very obvious during genichiro fight. Sometimes it goes ok, sometimes the game just doesnt register inputs in time.
>I feel like they went a bit overboard with the whole 'git gud' nonsense in Sekiro.
Is this your first Fromsoft game or something
People are just afraid of saying anything bad about Sekiro because lol dude you're just bad at the game and salty xDDD.
it's been literally discussed to death.
now, go back to where you came from and don't come back.
this is the problem with all From games now. it's tedious trial-and-error. oh lol you didn't realize there's a dragon that'll oneshot you, you died lol. okay now you know the dragon is there this part of the game is now easy as shit. rinse and repeat for everything.
The emergent gameplay (or the lack of there of in Sekiro) is the cornerstone here. You just memorize all the counters and when to execute them and that's the whole thing. First playthrough will take you 50 hours, the next one 5 at best. And that's because it plays exactly the same way every single time, there are no builds (e.g. STR, DEX, Faith, different weapon types etc) to try and see how they fare against the enemies, no online mechanic to spice things up. You just memorize the whole thing, brute force your way through and move on. Feels pretty shallow in the end.
You could argue that since both the combat and stealth have obvious signs of indecision, from stealth itself even existing to the fact that charmless looked like something removed from the finished version of the game, rather than something added to it, that a lot did go wrong.
Also what the fuck is your pic? You should feel ashamed of yourself.
