Bro had to hop on to my account to post because your video is just fucking AMAZING. The editing, scripting, humour, dad jokes, the actual point behind the video unbelievable. Your vid legit deserves millions of views I'm shocked it hasn't yet. Keep it up. I hopped on because I'm frustrated af with elden ring but ADORE Sekiro and have been looking for a game with a similar fix. I can replay Sifu again this time having beat Sekiro and actually learn to play the game. But I also just wanted to try out something new too. Thanks for a fantastic video I can't wait to try this out. Elden rings was a disappointment for me. I want my skill to be the cap for 80% of the game not my gear.

thank you my friend! hope you enjoy it - it's a decent soulslike!

Playing sekiro after playing nioh 2, I felt the game was good but the combat was barebones. It was just spamming the block button and the occasional attack. It had prosthetic tools and combat arts but they were situational or just for style points. In nioh 2, after depleting ki you can use yokai abilities to get yourself a grapple, and that's what I wished sekiro did with the posture and combat arts. Wo Long seems to have done that

[@jeangermain-oh1oj]

Wo long est un mélange entre ninja gaiden et nioh, deux jeux d'équipe ninja avec quelques éléments de gameplay sekiro, le tout dans l'univers des trois royaumes en Chine antique à la fin de la dynastie han

[@stepsis8437]

Far from Sekiro try Nioh without the Yokai 😂💀💀

[@burntgrahamcracker2866]

I don’t know best character creator they’ve made and the fightings good but I’ve still not gone back to it since getting stuck on lu bu. The absence of smithing texts and the removal of a stamina bar irritated me as it punishes caution. As an aside I platinumed both nioh games but never played sekiro because I am weary of the gradual power creep that’s happening in souls/ souls like games.

I wouldnt call sekiro better than wolong, for me they're on the same tier. Sekiros combat while simple yet effect has some streamlining issues, some enemies and bosses are more like souls enemies than sekiro, some augments are more equal than others (fire crackers and umbrella) and underwater combat is just bad. Wolong combat is far more action oriented and thus faster, the boss is the main thing that determines the pace of the battle. It has its issues, mainly that martial arts are tied to weapons instead of a skill tree like in nioh and that you cant craft gear, forcing you to grind for it. Both games have their issues, but I wouldnt really call one better than the other. In terms of difficulty, in my opinion both wolong and sekiro are about the same, honestly pretty easy for the most part. Sekiro lacks speed and pressure to be really difficult, most fights are easily beaten within 1-4 tries and in wolong the only thing you need is sharp reflexes and good management of your spirit and you're golden.

Morale is pretty terrible system. They got it right with Stone of Penance in Nioh 2, which is basically morale in reverse, but also with player agency behind it. And btw it's not a slight boost. If you're 15 morale ranks below enemy you take about 300% more damage from him compared to if you were on the same morale rank.

[@barelyfanatical]

I think that's part of what makes it accessible for newbies and challenging for players who enjoy the gap. In a level very early on, theres the tiger demon ~15 morale levels higher than your player character, but since I had the parry rhythm down for the enemy, I beat it pretty easily! In contrast, you can boost your morale to a similar level and always come back to it for a more level playing field. The objective is obviously to go find the main flags and the marker flags so that you're not at a vast disadvantage when facing off against the bosses, but if you wanted to, you have the option to do so.

[@oninomiru]

@@barelyfanatical my main issue mostly comes down to two things: they locked wizardry behind morale. If you rush to the boss, you basically can't use any wizardry. And second issue is player agency. With stone of penance you could set your scaling at any level, once you've unlocked the stone ranks. In Wo Long if you skip flags and run to the boss, you have no choice. I played through the entire game as level 1 character and morale flaws were pretty apparent (also it's kinda weird you can't even access wizardry menu unless you level up first).

[@barelyfanatical]

@@oninomiru I get what you mean now! There were only a handful of spells available to you at level 1 morale right? The rest were unlocked behind level 3 morale etc, so you're right - rushing to the boss means only using those few spells available to you. And yeah, that would pose significant problems against bosses like Zhang Rang (I needed acid puddles to cancel out lightning spam).

[@oninomiru]

@@barelyfanatical yeah, that's the main issue. If you want the most options available, you need 18 morale or so.

[@Crazygam3r94]

I hate wo long. Level design terrible and scenery. Good smooth combat though but that's it.

[@barelyfanatical]

For games like this you shouldn't expect tooooooo much, but combat was where it mattered and for that it's a good time!
