Isn't Sekiro also basically just a beat em up?

Soulslikes are just beat em ups with lots of QTEs and deliberately poor accessibility options

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I would totally make a soulslike with full accessibility options including slowdowns and prompts and auto parries; and I'd still give you the achievements to upset the silly internet people

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago

Based. But that removes the main appeal for soulslike players: the gates which they like to keep.

I know what the acronym is, I'm asking how in the goddamn do you figure it has them?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Parrys and iframe dodges are just QTEs

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Having to aim at an enemy in an FPS is just a QTE.

i agree, Sekiro is clearly a Platformer

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No. Sekiro is wildly different from beatemups. The only shared element is that there are enemies that you attack, basically, and if that's enough to call Sekiro a 'beatemup', then, for example, every shooter is a beatemup, as well.

no shooters are all doom clones

[–] [email protected] 30 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Except the ones that are wolfenstein clones (the woke ones)

We're not Nazis but also how dare a WW2 game make Nazis the villains

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Naw there's I don't think you can beat the game if you can't parry

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Sounds like a beat em up to me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I haven't done a lot of parrying beat em ups, Souls like yeah. Just from watching people play it just seems easy. You seem to mow through enemies.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Parrying is just a glorified QTE and beat em ups have had those for a long time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Like streets of rage long time?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

At least God of War 1 long time

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Right on thanks for explaining it to me. I might just be explaining it wrong just the combat just looks easy I guess.

I don't think I said that.
