Since I didn't want to polute the generic "what are you playing thread" with my Sekiro woes, I thought I'd start one. But it might be pretty sad if I'm the only one currently playing it. But I feel a little journal like this might do me good. To at least vent out my frustration.
After another 10-15 tries on the Emma/Isshin fight, I've maybe made some progress with the Emma fight, in that I was so far able to defeat hear 3-4 times now. But I still don't have it locked down. Still plenty of situations where I either consume all my healing gourds, to not have a chance in the Isshin fight, or I just flat out die in her fight. Also, I constantly still get caught by her grab. And I especially hate it when she starts (or at least that's what she appears to) the Ashina Cross animation, tricks me into thinking she'll do that, and then switches to her grab. I frikkin hate that.
But then I come to Isshin's fight, who just mops the floor with me. Out of all tries, I maybe once got to 60% of his posture being damaged. And then I'm just dead. I don't even want to imagine getting to his final phase. It's so frikkin demoralizing.
After I take a break from the game, I actually don't feel like going back into it, only to get pummeled again. I think I need to stop going into the fights and just randomly trying to be reactive to their attacks. And actually go in with a plan. But that's gonna be complicated, since it needs to be a plan simple enough that when the plan innevitably goes wrong, I can do something about that. And not just have a rigid plan where if anything doesn't go according to it, I need to restart.
Holy shit. I also wonder if I should just back out of the idea that I'll finish all endings in this playthrough, and no longer go for the Shura ending. But then I go and see some streamer (that probably played the game for 500+ hours) just frikkin breeze throught it, and I ask myself, why not me? :lol:
