Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice had to prove a lot. Simply put, it was to be the latest game from the critically acclaimed and supremely lauded studio: FromSoftware. This is the team behind Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls and Bloodborne. All told, five games which all fascinated players when they launched. Selling millions and millions of copies, Dark Souls 3 was the latest entry in the so called Soulsborne series, but after it launched, Hidetaka Miyazaki, the game’s director, said that he wanted to try something new and that the studio would be stepping away from Dark Souls (at least, for a time). For most people they assumed that this meant we would get another bloodborne, but for those in the know, this was not a likely possibility for reasons we’ll discuss later in the video. And so, this left us with the assumption of a new IP, something fresh and different, but also something that needed to shake things up. Change the formula into something unique unto itself while retaining elements of what made FromSoftware an internationally recognizable brand. The bar was set high, and this video aims to look at why this bar was so high, and how Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was able to surpass all expectations.

It's come to my attention that we've had a copyright claim placed on this video for a clip from Saving Private Ryan... As a result, the owners are taking all of the proceeds from this video and are monetizing it with multiple ad breaks. I have filed an appeal and will try to get this reversed as soon as possible.

"Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Did Something Tremendous" Well, the first 9 minutes were on Bloodborne, which wasn't even the last FromSoft game to be developed before Sekiro... but maybe this gets better from here. Alright, now he has spent a few minutes talking about the deep lore of the game, which in my experience was a little more shallow than most of the BloodSouls games, but it was still very well done, so kudos to them for keeping on with the very well established tradition... Okay, now he's talking about how the combat system forces you into one on one, fast paced, close range duels. Which is true. It was very well done, and it solidifies the samurai action movie feel of the game exceptionally well. Wait, that... that was it? He made a 19 minute video to spend 9 minutes talking about another game, then 5 minutes talking about how Sekiro's bosses were well fleshed out characters (something present in Demon Souls, Dark Souls 1-3, and Bloodborne), then a 1 minute 20 second segment about the actual amazing and unique part of the game?

The feeling of having wasted my money because I felt like I was never gonna beat the game was a powerful feeling I had when I first played Dark Souls. It wasn’t a bad feeling, I just felt really unskilled and weak. But as I played through I conquered and I was proud of my triumphs. However, after a good 4 years of playing all of SoulsBorne I always feel like I can triumph eventually, which also isn’t necessarily bad but it made victory less sweet. Sekiro recaptured that feeling I had when I first played Soulsborne, all of a sudden I was the ‘casul’ who needed to ‘git gud’, *and I loved feeling like this again.* The enemies intrigued and challeneged me, I died more times than I can ever count to Genichiro (2nd encounter) and SwordSaint (Non-Shura). This feeling reawakened my true love for SoulsBorne, and left me with no disappointment *at all.*

@HeadRedShot 4 года назад

never made me feel like that. soulsborne for me was always just boring to play and frustrating. id rather just leave that shit in my library for years to come instead of playing that shit. sekiro on the other hand was fun, even when i was playing shitty. dark souls had the philosophy of punishing you until you do it right, while sekiro had the philosophy of rewarding you until you do it perfectly

I bought Sekiro not knowing it was ‘From’ the dastardly group that created the Souls series. Once I figured it out, I was too stubborn to turn away from the challenge. This was by far the best uninformed decision I have made. So many moments and struggles..... After killing the Demon of Hatred and getting an achievement that only 3.54% of the Sekiro Xbox community had, I felt an immense satisfaction, nothing like I had felt before. Now, I’m a sucker for pain enjoying another play through without Kuro’s charm. The confidence and gratification this game provided was well worth the mere $70 dollars I spent.

@jackmeriustacktheritrix 5 лет назад

Then i saw trailers for Bloodborne and thought it looked cool af, so i got it and a ps4 on release only to realize after playing it for the first time "uh oh, it's from the Dark Souls guys".

Genichiro is my favourite boss in the game, and the gameplay at the end shows why. It's not a boss you run around and sometimes attack, like the ape, or one you just parry until it dies like the giraffe guys or whatever they're called, but a fast paced, intense balance between attacking and defending with no space of time hanging back and doing nothing. You're constantly pushing forward and being pushed back upon, and the precision that invites is why I really like the combat system of the game

@@jennifervalentine8955 I don't think you get what it means. Trains go on rails egro you have to do exactly what the train does. Unlike say a car, where you can drive where and how you want. Sekiro forces you to 1) Use a katana 2) it wants you to play the posture game which means, a) deflection>dodging b) try and hit every perilous attack counter to help build posture damage. 3) prosthetic tools are only useful in specific circumstances for the most part. This means the game is on rails when compared to dark souls where you get to pick your weapon and play style. And miracles, spells, pyromancies, and bows are useful in way more circumstances than prosthetic tools. And also allow for some creative uses as well. Fire paper or pine resins and other consumables were more impactful than any of the consumables in sekiro. Monk sugars are pretty worthless. The counters to status effects are about it and divine confettie for the select few bosses that is for.

Stories that made me cry inside:(lots of spoilers ahead) 1- Kotaro the giant, you find him in Senpou temple and he's one of the 2 NPCs that you can lure into the abandonmed dungeon. When you tell him to go there he says "My daddy is there"(sumthin along the lines). You can find a little room to the left as soon as you enter the dungeon and you'll find the letter of kotaro's father saying he's dying in the prison cell not finding a way to Ashina depths. Last words of the letter are "Kotaro... forgive me". When Kotaro turns into a monster he yells "Daddyy!" As soon as the fight begins 2-Armored knight, the senpou temple monks asked him to defend the bridge from any intruders and in return they will heal his son (btw robert's firecrackers are his son's firecrackers that were sold so they can travel to Japan). When you defeat the armored knight he died thinking he failed his son when in fact his son is dead just like all the rest of the children of the rejuvinating water except 1 3- Sculptor, a rogue shinobi who trained in valleys for all of his life with his friend(his friend is dead/missing). Someone who nearly got consumed by shura demon but saved by isshin, someone who no matter what always has visions of endless flames finally gets consumed by hatred turning into the demon of hatred ("Wolf... thank you" he says that when he dies and if you give him enough sake along with some eavesdropping Sekiro will recognize him) 4- too lazy to think of more

@MY-gk3ul 5 лет назад

thou FS Games share some similarity in all their games, what impresses me most is how to they change the gameplay in a subtle way and the game itself, the story, the art feels so naturally grows out of it. For example, in Bloodborne, the player is encouraged to attack continuously. As a result, way into the game, the player can feel they attack more viciously which is just like the process of turning into a beast. In Sekiro, the sensation is totally different, i feel a kind of calmness, almost zenlike.

TL;DR Miyazaki made a brand new game with new systems of combat similar to Dark Souls and Bloodborne and did it well... I was REALLY hoping that this video would have a bit more substance to it :(

Armored warrior story is even more tragic. When you meet divine child of rejuvenation, she tells you that there were other children who were experimented on but she is the only one who survived. The fact that you never actually meet Robert, and the armored warrior is kind of guarding the bridge implies that monks took Robert and got him killed during experimentation. And instead of telling this to the armored warrior they assigned him on guard duty.

@callybog7118 5 лет назад

something even sadder about the armoured knight is that his son is actually already dead. The divine child says that she alone survived the rejuvinating waters which means that the mans son is already dead, he didnt survive the process, but the man doesnt know, so he continues to guard the monks who he believes will save his son, robert.

Gee! Thanks for recommending this small channel called VaatiVidya. I hadn't heard about this guy till now! His "lore analysis" of Souls games is pretty novel concept, but it's interesting. Still, I'm not too sure it's that necessary. After all, it's not like the story in these games is that hard to follow, so no wonder he isn't very popular. Just kidding, the guy is indeed great and there must be some poor souls who don't know his channel yet, but that made me giggle.

This makes me hope From Software chooses to branch out more not less. I'm sure another Bloodborne or Darksouls would do well and be worthy of their series but I would love to see this developer continue to dive into new gameplay styles that can still be familiar and provide new challenges to long time fans. Personally, I wasn't into From Software games until Sekiro came along and once I've had my fill of that, I'm very much looking forward to experiencing their older titles.

Bloodborne is where the Soulsborne model finally clicked with me. I had played Dark Souls before it, but it just hadn't quite got me there. I played it for a bit, got to a point where I couldn't figure out the way forward, and I just sort of moved on. But then I started playing Bloodborne, and suddenly was picking up all the little intricacies of the style, from there, I jumped on Nioh, another I absolutely loved, then the Surge, which was the weakest of any of them, but still, love the style, Salt and Sanctuary, 2D, still amazing. Had it not been for Bloodborne, I might not have given any of these a chance.

@aswinottapilavil495 5 лет назад

I love all fromsoft games and I absolutely adored sekiro, for me the game is on par with DS1, my favorite fromsoft game and probably the best game I've ever played. But in the other hand let's not just keep showering them with praises, mainly because at this point I feel like lack of criticism is actually doing some bad for the game. Sekiro does have flaws and I think we need to discuss this because just praising then won't help them in the long run. Fromsoft still didn't fix camera, lock-on and wall issue (pinned to the wall and you absolutely see nothing), these are complaints players had from the first game and they didn't even bothered to address them yet. Some of the phases of certain boss fights seemed super unnecessary and all it did is to kill some great charecter moment just to gain couple of points in the "difficulty" department. The story is once again "a prosperous country in the brink of collapse trying to continue the prosperity using some supernatural means and in turn losing thier own sanity", it's was lordren and gwyn in DS1, Yharnam and blood ministration in bloodborne and Ashina and genichiro this time around. And stop with the poison area, and this cursed village thing already. And finally, STOP PUTTING FAST AMD JUMPY ENEMIES IN A TINY ROOM!! sekiro is a 9/10. But since nobody is even bothering to say anything criticism for the game. I just wanted to mention few.

@aswinottapilavil495 5 лет назад

@Fred Duwe Glad you think so, fromsoft games hardly gets any criticism and if someone does it's pushed back. The game is amazing but they does need to improve in some aspects, it's even more saddening that most of these issues are rather been carried over from previous games.

@aswinottapilavil495 5 лет назад

@Fred Duwe Well, you criticisms are valid and I mostly agree with them. But I did prefer sekiro over most previous games, I personally did not liked DS2 or 3. They were a disappointment for me coming Fri DS1. Bloodborne was great actually and I really enjoyed it. But Sekiro really hit home for me, the mobility really feels good (I have an issue when games doesn't let you jump, it's kinda weird and confusing for me), the combat for the most part is very satisfying and bosses were quite enjoyable in my opinion (thought some of the dragged on a bit longer than I would like). But yeah I do understand if someone isn't feeling this game, it has issues for sure.

@Sir_Robin_of_Camelot 5 лет назад

@@Sir_Robin_of_Camelot Yeah, I agree they really should fix that issue. It's been around from the first souls game and they still aren't fixing it.

@androski5247 2 года назад

Sekiro is my favorite game, and I've replayed it so much that, with a little warming up and getting lucky on the ape duo fight, I can still reliably do the full gauntlet. I want to get this good at the other 3 games I have (DS1, DS3, and Elden Ring) but the problem is that the first playthrough of Sekiro was by far the most painful out of any of FromSoft's games. Every boss and mini boss was a wall, Juzuo, Genichiro, O'Rin, Owl, Demon of Hatred. Every encounter I had to bend my brain 270 degrees and back constantly until I finally nailed their attacks, and none of the other souls games have done this to me to this extent. People say your first is always your favorite, and I'm the exact same way. Sekiro was the rigid teacher I needed to get me into the more open form style of the souls games, and I can't thank them enough for this game.

@@Bloodhurl67 its dark souls but it swaps dodging for parrying and the parrying isnt even hard to do, its not about spamming R1, its about spamming L1. The openings are easy to find because they are super obvious in every fight, end of combo or large attack and thrust counters are so forgiving its hilarious. Again, its dark souls but it has way less variety of choices of how to play, hell you hardly even have to move aside from jump or dodge forward from time to time, just spam that L1.

@eltren6120 5 лет назад

For the next-gen FromSoftware title, if it's a sequel, it'll be who pays up the most. Activision could win Sekiro 2 by not only playing a lot but also keeping the multi-platform discussion up front. Sony just has to reel in a lot of money and talk about how being PS exclusive gives devs prestigious notice in this industry. However, FromSoftware can just want to please its original fandom with a surprise Dark Souls IIII. What/e game whether a sequel or something brand new, FromSoftware has made a fan out of me and I'm more than happy to play their next title what/e it may be.
