Please do make a guaranteed safety video of blocking against a boss in Sekiro, say Lady Butterfly. Looking forward to it.
My hate for the game started with that B**** Lady butterfly. This was incidentally my first boss and it was very very hard. I literally gave it somewhere close to 50-60 tries but just couldnt get through after which i went on the other way to face the other boss on that big horse - cant remember the name.

The lightning reversal is so good.

Amazing boss fight.
Man !!!!! Are these your videos ? If yes, then fuck man. You are good. Like really really good. For people who havent played this game, this might seem easy but trust me what you see is pure pure skill. Kudos man. No wonder you find games like this and DS easy lol.

Made a video of that boss as well.

I don't blame you, From took one ability (riposte/parry) that was completely optional in Dark Souls and made BB broken if you relied on it, and made a pure skill based game out of it. It demands a lot from the player. Frankly leaves their previous games and Nioh in the dust imo. They don't even come close to this.

lol thanks man, just beat him last night. He seemed impossible at first but I figured along with perfect deflections the key to beat him was staying aggressive. That's true for most bosses so far because the posture recovers really fast if you stay defensive.

This was the first boss that i actually thought was an easy beat. Even easier than those fucking so called mini bosses.

Yar I think it eventually comes down to the taste and skill of an individual player. I loved the parry/riposte ability in BB. It sure was easier to master in BB than it is in Sekiro but it was real fun nonetheless. Calling the riposte in BB broken is a bit going too far imo. Yes it my feel broken to you as skilled as you are but you need to realize that there are many more less skilled players out there who still couldnt master the BB riposte let alone do it in Sekiro. I will not be surprised if in the coming days you'll be seeing videos of skilled players mastering the same perfect parries in Sekiro (you almost did it in the boss fight above) and then claiming it to be easy as well. A game that i as a less-skilled player finds fair like BB might be easy for you as a better skilled player the same way someone having higher skills than you might find even Sekiro easy. So it just depends on an individual's skill and taste.

I agree with all of this. I never held those things against Bloodborne when I finished it. The revisionist history being presented here to had to be addressed.

Riposte was broken if you relied on it too much. I purposely barely ever used riposte in BB. The fact that you don't even need to be in close proximity of an attack made it feel like cheating lol


Sekiro is being regarded as difficult to a fault by most people, not every single person of course. Community always finds easier ways to progress in these games (indeed, people have found a way to cheese Lady Butterfly as well). If thats how people achieve those Platinums in Soulsborne and now Sekiro then to each their own I guess lol

PowerPyx has spoken.



7/10, not bad. But I usually only aim for 100% completion in 8/10+ rated games these days. Might still do it if I enjoy it enough.

We seem to have missed this part of history, though :p


You didn't seem to be holding up so well against Amy, since you used up over half of your blood vials. And wow @ the amount of damage you were causing her with a single hit...how over-leveled were you?


I wonder how you would've fared against her chalice dungeons' version. I guess we'll never know :p

indeed, people have found a way to cheese Lady Butterfly as well
Already prepared with damage control I see lol. As Chandoo would say, dil pe mat le yaar :hah:

lol what is the "appropriate level" for her? Any idea? I didn't have time (or needed) to over-level. Maybe its the Bolt dmg that you can't see? Beat her on the first attempt. I'd say I did pretty damn good :hah:

Actually looks even easier :hah:

cant get the ds4 controller to work -.- .... gotta bring my other controller from lockers
Steam built in support not working? Or do have a pirated copy? You can download ds4windows for running it with non steam games. Just make sure to download the GitHub version not the website one..

Played a bit more today. @Necrokiller assured me things won't be trivial against a mini-boss, but they absolutely were. So disappointed :/

Spoiler: show

For people who haven't played this game, trust me what you see is pure pure spamming :p

Wait, I thought you would be spamming deflecting to win? Whatever happened to that strategy? Isnt block and deflect still on the same button? I assured you that won't work and guess what, you just proved it doesnt :hah:

Hahahahahahahahahaha OMG

- never deflected against Chained Ogre
- used stealth to take out one posture bar
- not even risking spamming on perilous attacks

This is hilarious :laugh1: :laugh1: :laugh1:

Let it go man. Stick to your lower rated one-armed protagonist :p

Hes probably busy looking at Powerpyx guide and trying to record some "perfect" run after dying god knows how many times so I'll answer :hah:

The difficulty will overwhelm you and these games don't always tell you where to go next. Sekiro does explain its mechanics better than Soulsborne and only you can see if the combat clicks for you. Give it a shot.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
