Fromsoftware's absolutely abysmal hitboxes

>game gets memes as le difficult
>it's all artificial due to poor hitbox design and one hit kill attacks
How does shit like get a pass and even win GOTY awards when far better made games don't get nearly the same amount of praise?
I'd understand if games media fell for this kind of retardation, but Yas Forums? There are people here who's only sense of identity is their taste in videogames and even they praise it.
Is this the power of marketing? Tell regards it's a game for 1337 gamers and le difficult and they'll pretend they enjoyed it like it's some kind of emperor's new clothes type scenario?

constant threads about something you dislike is clearly some sign of autism, i dont even like sekiro but the fact people have the desire to even want to do this is beyond pathetic, hang yourself.

>trying to discuss video games on Yas Forums - video games? hang yourself

The terrible hitboxes are actually great in Sekiro because they make deflects easier. It’s only annoying if you’re trying to physically avoid the hitboxes, which you probably shouldn’t be doing. Asshole-long hitboxes on thrusts make Mikiri stomps easy as shit. Deflecting giant radial swings with shitty timing is easy when the hitbox starts being generate 5 feet from the enemy’s blade. Etc.

he was fockin mayos away from eem. Mayos away

sure, working as intended

Is this what git gud feels like?

It was Genichiro wasn't it?

>it's a good thing because it makes the game easier in certain playstyles

this is you right now

There are no “playstyles”. There’s “Sekiro’s way” and “dead”. It’s arguably a shortcoming of the game but you either play it on its terms or you die, that’s the reality. I say that as someone who has had to unlearn a LOT of DMC/Bayo to survive in the game.

Guardian Ape?

if they designed the game in such a way that you cant dodge most attacks because they are hard to dodge (you know, would make sense) then fair enough, still arguably a flaw but I'd be fair.
In sekiro dodging isn't viable only because they didn't bother making proper hitboxes.

(You)

The game doesn't have bad hitboxes. It mostly has really good ones. BUT it does have some really bad ones or ones that are weird. And in a game with really good hitboxes and demanding combat, those few bad ones stand out.

you did notice the picture showing arms of the enemy bending at an unnatural angle, the sword not being anywhere near his foot yet the hit counting with a spark, right user?
why the fuck would you reply to blatant sarcasm with a serious post

>if you’re trying to physically avoid the hitboxes, which you probably shouldn’t be doing
god forbid if you use the limited-use special move which sends you flying into the air under the assumption that it will prevent enemies from poking the air under you
why would you want to feel like an augmented ninja samurai anyway

>The game doesn't have bad hitboxes.
>but it does have hitboxes that are bad
y'know I'd forgive if they had some bad hitboxes if it wasnt for the fact that said bad hitboxes are usually on one hit kill attacks
And you're undersellin how many there are

yes the hitboxes are bad, but the game is still easy. you can deflect virtually every attack and the window is huge.

I'm on pain medications and I don't detect sarcasm well even when sobre

Seikro is fair because the deflect has a massive window, I actually think its bigger than the iframe on the rolls in dark souls. That being said you have to play some bosses in Seikro like a Souls game since they're pretty poorly designed

game being easy =/ game being good

Headless Ape eh? Ya he's tough.

when did I say it was good?

attack in op's clip can't be countered or blocked

Op is arguing it's bad
you frame your post as a counterargument

OP is complaining the hitboxes make the game artificially difficult, and that's why it's bad. the game is not difficult, and there are a lot of better things to complain about.

I know, chained orge is one of those bosses that really badly designed, O-Rin and her stupid unparryable untelegraphed OHKO is another

>game gives you a grappling hook
>it's absolutely useless in 90% of the fights because dodging can end in an instakill

dodging isn’t viable because it’s a sword fighting simulator not a coward simulator

it's not viable because they couldn't make good hitboxes. If they did it would be since most attacks look dodgeable and there's a grappling hook the game never uses

I love Sekiro.

Hitboxes are often dogshit and some attacks have such bullshit tracking that the animations dont go that far cannot keep up. ( specially upwards )

OP has a point and everyone saying " filtered!!! " can fuck off.

>it’s a sword fighting simulator
no it's not. blade symphony is a sword fighting sim, sekiro is just an action game.

I did not enjoy this game as much as dark souls.

The game isn’t about dodging its about sword fighting you’re supposed to sword fight not dodge

it’s a game about sword fighting idiot

then why is it in the game and why are there attacks you can't counter or block?
why give the player a grappling hook?
