>>1674935 Ask Activision, You'd more likely get Sekiro in the new CoD as a skin.

>>1675081 ACTIVISION DOESN'T OWN THE SEKIRO LICENSE ANON.

>>1674935 Sekiro has obvious hooks for both a sequel and a prequel through the Divine Dragon's homeland but they both take the story to Central Asia and I can't tell if From would feel up to doing that because it's not a setting they ever touched before. They ``could`` do a different story entirely but then the premise of side-media to hype it up isn't relevant. >>1675151 Cut him some slack anon, Activision not grabbing the IP is somewhat unusual on both ends of the deal and mostly just occured through the project happening to have started as a Tenchu game.

>>1676499 >Central Asia Pretty sure it's meant to be Korea/China, judging by the sword Divine Dragon is using.

>Latest patch optimizes the game <Same patches censors a chunk of the game since the chinks are pissed that you're killing off Han Chinese figures from the Ming Dynasty <The human bosses just take a rest instead of killed <The entire chapter where shit hits the fan is trivialized since not only the imperial soldiers can't be targeted and killed, they treat you as an ally. Good thing I pirated this game. >>1674935 >No Defeat That subtitle sounds stupid, just take it off. >>1676499 >I can't tell if From would feel up to doing that because it's not a setting they ever touched before. Looking at what happened to Wuchang, I'd add if From can avoid getting backlash by the chinks given the Sengoku period which Sekiro is set is during the Ming Dynasty.

>>1676499 >mfw mp4

>>1678844 >since the chinks are pissed that you're killing off Han Chinese figures from the Ming Dynasty lol Modern chinks are fucking mutts born from rape from invaders. They will never be Han.

>>1678811 If we work directly off of the sword it'd probably be Korea since the one it was modeled after was a gift from Korea to Japan. It's probably a coincidence but Tengrist dragons are time dragons, which is a nice fit to the sickly, seperated divine dragon's aspect being Stagnation and makes me like the idea of it being from slightly further west. If you go for the prequel there is also another "Ashina Clan" present that you can use for the parallels which tickles the funny bone. I was mentally including parts of China/Mongolia into Central Asia since I was thinking geographically but it turns out the "official" split lumps most of the region into East Asia so as to not divide any international borders. >>1678844 Sad to see meddling like that, especially since it's attached to what seems to be important patches, maybe it'll get modded out if anyone bothers. Saw some posts saying that apparently the censorship is also not CCP aligned either which makes it even weirder that they did it but I don't know enough about the official propaganda position to know how true that is. >>1678880 :^)

Last webm has you killing the last Ming Emperor, which is supposed be another sore point. The thing is, he's already dead way before the game and part of the game's plot is all these attempts to resurrect the dead and going wrong. >>1678896 >>1678900 It's retarded from the get go. There's an entire palace city where the women were raped, eaten and experimented on (>>1661052 last webm) and it's not even exclusive to that area.

>>1676499 >>1678844 Given that Sekiro is only sort of, kind of historical they could probably get away with it without much trouble. You could probably make an argument that it takes place in an alternate history, and not just in the sense that all historical fiction is alternate history.

>>1676499 >but they both take the story to Central Asia They could take it to mythic "India" a la Journey to the West or of to a generic fantasy Asia and have Wolf bounce around Shangra-la/Xanadu//Shambala/etc. Either would dodge the "pissing off the Koreans/Chinese" trap and they could still have the plot and set pieces that they wanted. Like arguably the only plot points that matter are a) resurrecting Kuro and b) returning the Dragon's mojo and as far as game play you just need intricate vertical maps to do ninja stuff in.

I mean I don't need a whole lot of depth from a Sekiro game. Just some interesting looking Asian places to explore and swing around in and get attacked by monkeys and a few giant (mutated/supernaturally corrupted) animals and people.

There's plenty of cool looking shit in Asia to rip off for a level setting.

Thank you for coming to my Shinobi TEDTalk.

>Sekiro in India Imagine the poison swamps...

>>1683022 Isn't it interesting how the two best Souls games have the smallest amount of poison swamp action?

>>1683123 What's the other one? DS2? That still has a meanigful amount of environmental poison, it's just not swamp flavored.

>>1683527 Bloodborne. The main path through the game has only one small poison pool, and even that's optional unless you want to take the back way into Isofka's Clinic. The entire rest of the poison swamp in the game is in Nightmare Frontier. Not counting chalices of course.

Do you think From will ever make a pure OW Souls game? One without "legacy dungeons" or maybe just one big one at the end, Leyndel style? Or alternately one dungeon in the center with OW stuff that takes place once you leave the central city/dungeon? Or combine those two and have a dungeon in the center but you start out in the wilderness, at the edge of the map. Possibly even having different origin locations depending on what your character class/origin is.

I finally got a copy of Nightreign. What do I have to expect from single player as of the current state of the game?

>>1695853 The single player expeditions mobs have less hp compared to multiplayer, Aggro is limited to one monster in group fights so no getting ganked by 3 crucible at once. And you get more runes.

>>1696270 I have to say that I don't play a lot of multiplayer in games so I really want to get proficient before I dip in to co-op, assuming that I decide to. Especially in a game that so co-op focused and has timed sessions and one that's been out for several months. I don't want to be the fucking tard that keeps blowing other people's runs. Playing a multiplayer game in single player feels like it's kind of more interesting to me anyway. I enjoyed doing that in Crystal Chronicles.

Which soulsbrone game has the best or most enjoyable experience of using heavy armor tank/vit primary build? Cause clearly Guardian the Arknights is a thing so there were enough playtesters and data for devs to decide to shit him out.

>>1696968 modded ER

>>1697084 Any particular mods then? cuz I just clicked armor category on nexus and sorted by updoots got me bombarded with abnb/ebb slop kek

>>1696968 As a fat fuck fatrolling knight build enjoyer. Elden Ring is good for it with some setup, since you have guard counters in that one and have a lot of gear and regen shit that can make tanking much easier. DS1 and DS2 are also very easy with greatshield builds, just hope you're willing to deal with crippled move speed in DS1. The only games where it's bullshit to do are DS3 and Bloodborne. Stamina damage from blocking+chip is far too absurd in DS3 compared to just rolling, and the wooden shield might be good at stopping gunfire and shutting down gun spammers but it's bad for actual melee combat (and the Loch shield is just an anti-magic tool). Demon Souls is... okay at it I guess but there's some real nigger-tier enemies that make it a pain in some parts.

>>1697499 Yeah I never considered BB due to the sheer ferocity and dps of the average yharnam peasant kek, Stitcher is mega based tho, and I suppose battlemage is what my preferred style should be called. Suppose I'll try out blessed dew and the swaddling something talisman and that one shield with regen, thanks!

>>1697499 The two shields can potentially save your bacon in a defiled chalice due to a combination of how BB does instability damage and how the defiled modifier affects received damage.

>>1697161 Elden Ring Reforged, for example. It got a sorta class system called "fortunes". They range in complexity from "bonk better" to juggling several buffs granted by actions or spell schools. See appended images for playing as a F A T F U C K. Have a look-see at their wiki, for an overview of all the system changes and new mechanics https://err.fandom.com/wiki/Fortune_of_the_Bulwark

>>1698468 >Indomitability And that is all I'd ever want for thiccer builds. Thank you!

>>1696968 For reference in Elden Ring, you can make a build that does no dodge, no parry, no block, no evade, just trade hits with all bosses including Malenia. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=Ex9ekh-jtgs

>>1691667 That would take effort, so it's never happening. >>1696968 Dark Souls 1 and 2 let you have some fun with tank builds. ER has borderline unkillable tank builds but they're not very fun since it's mostly a matter of consumables and buff stacking. Convergence mod for both DS3 and ER had fun enough tank builds last I played them, but with all the updates who knows how they are now. >>1700373 >ymfah It's been 7 years already, damn.

>>1700790 >That would take effort, so it's never happening. It would actually take less effort than Elden Ring.

>>1698053 I wonder what's the tankiest* build you can make in BB? I'm sure led elixir needs to be part of the process. It's supposedly actually quite good but I never hear anyone talk about it and I'm not even sure how to get a ready supply of it or if it's even farmable (like the blue goo is from the graduate students).

>>1702437 https://www.bloodborne-wiki.com/2015/03/lead-elixir.html >2% on hole diggers on root dungeons >2% on giants in nightmare I don't think it's worth it bwo...

>>1704015 >>2% on hole diggers on root dungeons Depends. There's some rooms in the later Pthumeru that has a bunch of these guys. With high enough discovery it might be feasible. If you could achieve enough insight then you could buy it from the messengers. What about blood gems? I know it's possible to make a regen build if you decide to grind out the right gems but I don't know about actual defense.
