What should I expect just to die a lot and to expect frustration?
That's my older brother and Sekiro. He returned it after dying to the first mini-boss 30x.Play whichever one looks coolest. Your curiosity will drive you to overcome the difficult parts.
All of them are pretty much standalone games. You can start on anything you want.
Sekiro is easily the hardest of them all, followed by Bloodborne.
All the Souls games are tied below that. Personally, I'd say Dark Souls 3 since it's pretty new and looks nice. You would probably enjoy that more than Sekiro if you're not used to anything they've ever done.
I felt it was much more difficult right away, and just got more difficult. But everyone's different. Clearly it's clicking for you, so I wouldn't be worried.Shocked to hear you say that, though the initial understanding of collecting souls/xp was a learning curve I've personally felt like Sekiro is significantly easier than BloodBorne. I'm only at Lady Butterfly (haven't focused a lot yet) but the progression to get there only took as long as I wanted to try to complete everything before proceeding. Am I just too early on before it ramps up?
Yes.Am I just too early on before it ramps up?
Butterfly is easy. You've seen nothing yet.Shocked to hear you say that, though the initial understanding of collecting souls/xp was a learning curve I've personally felt like Sekiro is significantly easier than BloodBorne.

Sekiro has the posture meter instead though. You can't block or parry for ever.I felt it was much more difficult right away, and just got more difficult. But everyone's different. Clearly it's clicking for you, so I wouldn't be worried.
I think objectively though, the game has no co-op, no ability to level up stats, no ability to change and upgrade gear to help you, no varied weapon choices to find a playstyle that can exploit certain situations, no ranged weapons, no magic. That all makes Sekiro more difficult.
Sekiro has no fatigue meter though, so that makes it easier.
King’s FieldI've never played one of these and was looking at Sekiro, I like that type of world setting. But, was curious if people think I should start with a different title first? What should I expect just to die a lot and to expect frustration?
Anything but sekiro.
I dont care what everyone says its a crappy game with zero replayability or any reason to continue after the final boss.
I replayed Sekiro same reason I replayed Bloodborne, explore and get the all the endings. For both never needed online.Anything but sekiro.

No new weapons no armor no level up statts etc.I replayed Sekiro same reason I replayed Bloodborne, explore and get the all the endings. For both never needed online.
Sekiro is action game, not every game needs to be RPG and enjoyed the combat system and boss fights, that alone great reason to replay it. Also played on PS4 Pro and I didn’t get any input lag.No new weapons no armor no level up statts etc.
No reason to put in more time for me in after 57 hours.
Now bloodborne you have chalet dungeons with new bosses past main game etc.
Ds you have diff classes etc
But my god that input lag in sekiro is a bad joke.
Anyway i logged in 300 hours in nioh and still enjoy it.
Will get nioh 2 , will never buy sekiro 2.
Be warned these games can re-wire your brain and redefine the meaning of fun in gameplay.
And learn how to use the both Shinobi tools and Arts.I just recently finished DS3 with both dlc. Started again with dex build. It’s fantastic I must say. I got to late game in sekiro but rage quit, its brutal.
Those are the two From games I’ve played.
So DS3 might be hard sometimes but you can level up or change weapons to ease the difficulty some. In sekiro you’re fucked if you don’t get gud.
True but thats what the journey is about. In comparison to BB and DS series Sekiro is a bit of a one trick pony, but it's a trick so damn good it makes all the GOTYs and millions of sold copies more than justified. I'd suggest anyone doubting it's replay value give it a try and see how it feels to mop the floor with a boss that it took you 20+ tries to beat in NG, by nothing but pure skill gained in using core available mechanics.In sekiro you’re fucked if you don’t get gud.
