It is over
age has nothing to do with this
games are just not for you
Wrong.
fpbp
literally stop digging into stuff that's not for you
run the game in slow motion
>reaction time
That's where you're doing wrong
You don't actively react when the boss attacks you like a cat
You predict his attacks then use your heuristic or top-down quick thinking or muscle memory or whatever you call it to respond to the attacks
The parry window is 500ms
Just work on each of his phases legitimately once you get at least one phase down you will get further on. They give you all the tools that you need in your disposal. Start with phase one and learn it backwards and forwards then onto phase 2 and so forth, you got this anon
if you're not playing with the charmless/demon bell debuffs then there's truly no excuse, just hold block more often/longer and recover your posture more often
there's a lot of skill progression in this game, you'll see it eventually and you don't need much of a reaction time (I'm bad at games that require it)
>just hold block more often/longer and recover your posture more often
Absolute meme advice. No boss except Owl has a punish that's fast enough to get you if you posture break
Holding block is wasted time that you should be using for attacks
I know it's counterproductive but if anon is struggling that hard then we need to put on the training wheels and play it slow. If he dies then he's not blocking enuff.
just cheese it with the umbrella man
his attacks are pretty telegraphed anon you don't need expert reaction time
>be 33
>still rape homies in fps
>still play soulsshit and nioh no problem
>still dominate in f-zero gx
People also tell me I look like im in my mid 20s.
You just have shit genes OP.
>still play soulsshit and nioh no problem
well thats not saying much anon those games are pretty easy, dont know about nioh though
Easy compared to what? Playing la campanella? Sure.
Compared to 95% of games? Yes they're hard.
im saying they are easy compared to literally any other game that involves combat such as dmc the original god of war games (if you dont play them on easy) ninja gaiden, hell even metal gear rising manages to be harder than any of the souls games
metal gear rising is extremely easy the only hard part of the entire game is the elevator where they spam gorilla robots on you
>for a month
That tells us nothing. How many times have you died?
When you are 15 attempts onto this fight making progress steadily and then die to genichiro in the "prefight"
demon of hatred was harder
People often say to play it like a Bloodborne boss but I found DoH way easier if I deflect all his stomps and headbutts
Genichiro is really friggin weak but I've had slip-ups sometimes. On the other hand it does feel good when you got so used to him that you start utterly destroying him in record time.
My first time with DoH was stupidly long progress but now somehow he dies incredibly fast when I replay him in Gauntlet/Reflection. Keep three Malcontents for phase3 and he melts.
200ms is actually not bad at all.
Sometimes you just need to take a break.
Hat Demon was way harder. I was stuck on it for a whole week.
> 200ms is better than average
> You have a literal advantage over others
If true, there’s really no excuse.
Skill issue, not age issue
I'm older than you and beat him just fine on a laggy piece of shit TV
and I had the demon bell activated, thanks
for reminding me
>be 30 yo casual
if you beat this game, you're better than 99% shitters on this board anon. Now if yea beat it with demon buff and no charm you would be truly good.
my reaction time is 0.0035ns
i beat sekiro in one sitting. no deaths. didn't even know the game had a resurrect feature
i 2 shot this boss but it was cinematic and cool, was a little underwhelmed after spending hours on demon of hatred though
beating DoH was the 2nd biggest accomplishment. first was beating sekiro: resurrection
I want to enjoy Sekiro but i can't figure out a decent way to play this with a keyboard.
I refuse to use a controller for this. I am not giving up until i beat this game with my usual setup.
I'm a kb&m player and everything's fine for me. Sometimes I frick up the key to switch to the next prosthetic, but that's it
I just don't find a way to make this feel right. Looking up other players key setups didn't work either so far.
This was no issue with Souls games and its driving me nuts.
Just use a controller homie.
I refuse. This is personal now.
>autism
that's where i stopped having fun, so i stopped playing
i didn't beat the game
>when both you and isshin go into naruto run mode
>by my gramps
>74 years old
>beat isshin on his 7th try
you have no excuse. stop making dogshit threads
based gramps
I hope he didn't hesitate
remember pearl harbor
its just pattern recognition and muscle memory. no need for reaction time 2bh
Isshin is the Ganker filter
You either belong in the elite or you don't
I dunno breh, i'm 39 with a wife and kid yet i beat him. 3-phase Genichiro was way harder for me because you had nowhere to run in that tiny area.
200ms is pretty fast, I have 300ms and I didnt struggle at all on him. That’s because I got an entire game of understanding the mechanics and flow of this game. Maybe you just have a learning disability.
Dropped the game there
Would have bothered if they didnt force you to fight genichiro everytime
My patience reserve had already been depleted a long time ago
I haven’t played Sekiro in a few years so I’m worried about my ability to beat it again (although I just breezed through Bloodborne + The Old Hunters DLC). I’m playing Nioh 2 right now and doing pretty well so maybe I haven’t slowed down too much.
>decide to replay sekiro after like 3 years
>kill this boss on the second or third attempt once i get there
felt good
frick those headless ghost dudes though
Unless you're like 60, age means nothing when it comes to singleplayer games. Find another cope Black.
Oh geez i hate those morons as much as those that mention neuroplasticity
no one could predict a 100 year old reincarnated japanese man from the 1500s to have a glock at the ready. DSP had a lucky streak to have beaten him after like 5 tries, doesnt meant Isshin is easy. Remember Ichimonji is very helpful depleting his stance/ki bar.
Where ichimonji is good, double ichimonji is even better
From what i recall if you parry his lightning he fricking melts
Headless monki took me more tries
he only lightnings in the 3rd phase but yes his 3rd phase is basically a victory lap because of the lightning
homie connect the controller with a cable. Turn the vsync off. Properly install the drivers and shit. Nobody got 200ms
I'm 29 but I always had about 200ms reaction time, 170 at best when I've been playing FPS games alot.
This boss isn't about reaction time, it's about learning its attack patterns and reacting accordingly. All the attacks are telegraphed way more than 200 ms before.
First phase is easy, afterwards all you need to learn is the timing for his attacks when he has his spear out and apply constant pressure to break his posture
Probably got my ass handed 100 times but ended up beating him lol
I always struggle the most relearning the weird timings of phase 1. Phase 2 and 3 are free.
i can never understand how some people get stuck on something for more than 3 hours at most and thats me being generous
I was 30 when I beat isshin and it was on my second try. Really my first real try because I was dicking around my first attempt
I’m almost 40 now and platinumed Sekiro just a year or two ago. You’re just bad at video games.
I'm worried that I may be developing arthritis
Isshin’s attack patterns are very easy to nail down you are just cognitively moronic, he’s a joke compared to Orphan of Kos or any of the late game ER bosses.
>be 29
>beat him 3 times
Skill issue
Lmao? I have 330 Ms reaction time it took me only around 10 times to kill this homie, u just suck at this game
i know you just want people to tell you you are not that old and you can still gaming in your 30's, i know it's scary anon. Anyway, yes, you still can, i'm 36 and i didn't notice a dip in my skill at all, on the contrary, i've become a lot better at reading patterns, not panicking and not trying to bruteforce like i used to do
You're just not aggressive enough. Isshin was one of the easier fights in Sekiro.
Bro I beat him in my worst run, it was unreal. Did bad in phase 1&2 then I wiped the floor with him and had remaining heals.
I beat it at 30 and again at 32. I don't understand why everyone my age is acting like they're ancient. I haven't noticed a significant drop in any faculties. I'm in the best shape of my life. I think I beat Isshin my third try or so. Madame butterfly hard walled me but then it clicked and everything after wasn't too bad.
Madam was a badly designed boss fight, people who do the flashback will get walled. She's a mid game boss.
Worked out for me. It was like training in high gravity or something. I came out and shitted on Gyobu and the rest of the game.
>go into optional area
>can't beat boss
>hurrrr I guess I can't finish the game now
moron
The game seemingly wants you to first go through and get the flame vent from the flashback, then beat ogre and Gyoubu so your attack is higher, then beat her. If you rush right through to fighting her first then yes you're going to have a hard time.
>make it to the oger
>get filtered
>decide to go through the memory that just opened
>get flame vent
>beat the fat man
>get filtered by madam butterfly
>go back out
>beat the ogre
>progress through to the castle
>get filtered at genichiro
>go back to butterfly
it's just good progression. you should be completely ready for the rest of the game by the time you beat those last 2.
Pretty accurate, either Butterfly or Genichiro can be your "I finally understand how important deflects are" moment
lmao what I did the flashback first my first time playing and beat her after like 6 tries she's not even that bad I had more trouble with Genichiro
>Phase 3 is easier than Phase 2.
200ms is well below what u need u should be checking for any latency in input, rendering and display
you can do it, get good at lightning, be fast and aggressive, learn his few big moves
def one of the hardest fights in souls, but nothing tops it
also prepare anus for inner isshin
Fight him in the fallen bridge area where there are no plants blocking your view.Did this with the inner fight
isshin is just testing if you learned the games base mechanics instead of cheesing. apparently you chose the latter. sucks to suck. DSP did it in like 3 tries.
When he starts using the spear, poison him, run like a coward then poison him again (you should have enought emblems to prock it twice, 14 IIRC). He'll be easier to kill now. For the third phase, just run again untill Isshin uses the Tomoe thunder, jump and return it for an easy opening (ignore the blocking part, the damage is negligible) , keep running and bait more thunders. Don't feel bad, Isshin isn't Gwyn, he's no pushover
Good luck, OP, for once you picked a good game
Problem with poison is that by new game ++ and charmless/bell it takes more than a single full combo to proc poison so it's just a waste of emblems. Better off using it on the umbrella at that point to help perfect block some of his weird spaced combos and then use the remaining emblems for either sakura dance or mist raven for guaranteed/no bullshit lightning reversals on the 4th phase.
You should try to hesitate less
Do you get anything if you play the memories from beating bosses?
Refighting bosses is something they added in a later patch. You only get something (namely, new boss fights) for beating the gauntlets, which you can't do unless you've already fought all the bosses for the gauntlet anyway
tl;dr no, it's something to do psotgame
you get skins from the gauntlets but that's it
For the first gauntlet you get Sakura Dance combat art which is a 1 emblem combo that is perfect for lightning reversals. You have to beat the game at least once to unlock that guantlet. Rest of the gauntlets are just skins.
You don't need to react if you know what he's already going to do.
You're not bad at video games because you're old, but because you're stupid.
I feel ya OP. Yeah I just dropped the game at this point. Its not worth the time investment to finish a fricking video game. Still though I enjoyed it for the most part so that's what matters. I was gonna get back round to it at some point but I lost my save file so it never happened.
Also whats with the new thing of having to wait 60s for a captcha?
captcha is probably having a hard time keeping up with bots these days so their solution was "well just put a 60 second delay on everyone's first post I'm sure that will not just make things worse for the humans while bots just wait 60 more seconds now"
>hard time keeping up with bots
surely there must be a better way than a 60 second countdown
anyone who dropped the game because of him is officially worse than fricking DSP, embarassing
Sadly I lost my save before I could get round to doing it
I principally agree, but DSP did look up the axe cheese strategy
>he hesitated
