Man, I hope this game runs well enough and doesn't get dog piled due to tech issues.
It's such a good game, a solid PC version could really get this game the audience it deserves.

Is that a grab from the Pro patch?
It doesn't look anywhere near that bad on base PS5. The game is honestly quite gorgeous on a base PS5, especially w/ ray tracing on. The lighting and environments are truly stunning at times. I used photo mode big time and I never use photo mode.

I understand that, but every bad running version deserves the dog-piling until they stop releasing them in that state.
They'd always be better off to delay the game and not destroy their launch sale momentum. Fixing it later just means you'll get less people buying it over time, and more of those people buying it on sale.

I know, that's why I said I hope it runs well enough, because if it doesn't it's going to get dog piled.

For me personally nothing beats Sekiro, that combat was absolute bliss.
Masaru Yamamura did fantastic job both with Sekiro and Armored Core VI.

Hmmm
I am playing through Armore Core now, it's pretty neat.
Sekiro I understand why people might like it, but for some reason I really didn't, which is super rare for me as I love painfully difficult souls games.
I think what got me in Sekiro is how repetitive and one-note the combat was, lots of parrying, special parry, riposte - game just had you play one way and one way only.
Also it relied a bit too heavily on needing to memorize boss moves, rarely did it feel like you can just approach a new tough enemy and figure things out as you went along.
I saw some Rise of Ronin videos, can't decide on it vs. ghost of tsushima and now there is the new Assassin's game....
For me combat is king but I'm not sure how much I like the idea of fighting only humanoid enemies (true across all these games I supppose).

Two hours in, the complaints about this being a poor port are overstated. First off, the PS5 version is already super demanding, so the PC version being demanding as well doesn't make it a poor port, it just means the game wasn't well optimized to begin with and they did what they could with what they had.
Ultra settings/4k/DLSS Quality/RT ON and I've had a completely smooth as butter, locked 60 fps experience. I could easily see your average computer dropping down to high settings and a change here or there and having an equally smooth experience. I don't know all of the reviews refused to enable DLSS. DLSS quality at 4k looks better than native, ffs, and it runs better.
Anyway, anyone on the fence should give it a go. It's not a looker, but it's pretty enough, and it has better combat and gameplay than GoT or the upcoming AC: Shadows, so if you are looking for some nice samurai type combat, this is the game to play. It's also only $50 and can be had for even less at the usual suspects.

Sekiro is a perfect game, I don't think it will ever be beaten.

Steam says I've already played 3 hours but I'm pretty sure nearly 2 of those were in the character creator alone. But yeah I completed the prologue and I'm digging it so far. Prologue boss kicked my ass for a bit (playing on hard) but I got a hang of the combat mechanics now. It's been a while since I played a Team Ninja game so I nearly forgot how unforgiving their games can be lol
As for performance: absolutely flawless 60fps @ Ultra so far, but again I only completed the prologue.

I remember how messed up Wo Long's port was at launch and this one is in a significantly better state so far. Like I said, the prologue was flawless but I need to put more time into it to see if it holds up.

I really enjoyed it this game to be honest, the combat is an absolute blast and the world is fun to explore. What I didn't like is having a mute protagonist, it was quite immersion breaking in many parts of the gam, for me at least. But its a solid game and I will probably get it again on sale on pc in the near future

No way lmao. It has worse collecthaton, graphics and performance and story you cant even keep track of with 50 different characters on factions. Gameplay is ok, customization is great

If it's a good game though, I'll play it
As anyone who played Stalker back in the day out of the box, or most other PC games from the last 23 years can attest

Seems like ragebait from DF to be honest. The game isn't cutting edge when it comes to visuals but I've never seen anything like that in the 110 hours I've put into it.

Well.
All the negative reviews are about performance issues.
edit: Steam only lists people that have bought the game through Steam for the "Overall Reviews" (352) the other reviews are from people buying it elsewhere, so it's worse than Mixed.

People too busy crying that their 4090+ can't run max settings at 120 FPS when 60 FPS is more then fine. Don't know why they expected the game to be optimized when they saw the warning sign of it being a 150 GB download.
