SEKIRO mit diesen Spielen so gut wie gar nichts zu tun hat... Das Game schreibt genau einen einzigen Style vor. (SEKIRO has almost nothing to do with these games... The game prescribes exactly one style.)

La partie la plus dur du jeux c’est de le lancer car ils sont pas foutu de prendre en compte ta résolution d’écran (g même pas pu y jouer )

Playing this for a bit made me realize... despite playing DS1-3, Demon's Souls a bit, and getting through most of NG+ in Elden Ring... FromSoft is pretty shitty at making decent games. They are buggy as hell, ugly despite the care put into the graphics, story's are always messy, contradictory, and incomprehensible, and the action - what we all play the game for - is not punishing, but janky. I think I am finally ready to say no thanks - couldn't give a shit how popular this crap is, refunding it…

Lacks native support for the 21:9 and controller recognition issue. To get the gamepad properly recognized, I had to unplug my keyboard before launching the game. Unacceptable....

Refunded, stuck on 60FPS, plays like a ps2 game. SCRAP!
