Context. I’m new to sekiro. This is my first soulsborne/from soft/miyazaki game. It took me 30 odd tries to get past the first miniboss who teaches you about perilous attacks. Now I’m getting skullfucked by six mooks and a troll with a hammer who think its perfectly ok to gang up on me.I decided to look for a few youtube videos of new sekiro players also facing difficulty and slowly overcoming them so I dont feel like I’m just bad, and that the struggle is normal. But EVERY single one of them seems to have their parry timing down pat, they’re blazing through the game, 2-3 tries on minibosses, there is NO shot this is their first playthrough.What am I missing? I’m just really trying to get better at this game (and I can see myself slowly improve), but god damn. “first time playing sekiro” my ass.Rant over, you may now tell me to git gud and/or kms.EDIT: Got past the part that was frustrating me. Stealth’d ALL the way through lmao.
Fwiw my first time thru bloodborne I was absolutely dodging guys jumping out from behind things. And often just dodging when going around things in general, even if there didn’t end up being any guys lol. At a certain point you’re just always expecting it.
Another similar game was Ghostrunner, the hardcore/ng+ mode in particular placed these guys that would blast you behind every. Single. Corner. You have to slide under the blast. So after a while I just started sliding no matter what, to an outsider it would have looked like I’d played those segments many times
