Theres a sekiro randomizer for pc. Pretty fun and spices things up a bit if you want some more sekiro action

It's not rubber it's thermoplastic/TPR and they will peel on every single Edge eventually, because there is no adhesive that can permanently bind such a closed-cell material to injection mold plastic. usually the delamination process will start near screw holes or injection mold post holes and maybe migrate as air gets in. my guess is they will keep their bond for a while yet, even though it looks like it will peel off easy scraping it off is more work than it seems, and a new 3rd party grip can be adhered. not ideal design tho. cleaning can be done with white vinegar, but some gradual discoloration is also part of its lifecycle. obviously smokey and or humid environments will have an extra effect on the material. i'd advise against cleaning TPR or really any plastic surface with other chemical solutions or bleach, or even strong alcohol.

I have been thinking about trying one of the overhaul mods since I got it in the sale (I originally played through on the PS5).

I did the same for Dark Souls II and had a complete blast with the full changes and different bosses and different map and everything.

i got past two sticking points i was having trouble with in sekiro tonight. but now i'm just up to another miniboss fight that feels like a huge pain in the rear end to memorize. die. respawn. fight or run past a bunch of grunts. get to the miniboss, fail to memorize the pattern or predict or react fast enough to the attacks. die. respawn. eventually get it. fight a bunch of low level easy grunts. another mini boss. repeat.

the movement feels pretty janky. like i'll run, jump onto some ledge, run, and go to jump again so i can hook onto some tree branch, and it all feels kind of unresponsive and accepts the running input well before it accepts the jump. a lot of times when i'm trying to get into a flow of movement, i just wind up running straight off a ledge i meant to jump off of at the last second.

also, wolf doesn't always grab onto ledges with consistency. enemies don't always get a red target on their back when i approach them from behind. it all just feels about 10% off and inconsistent which makes it annoying to replay the same parts after i inevitably die.

most of the time i just run straight into an arena of grunts and brute force them because it doesn't even pay to wait forever for them to attack you just so you can deflect. i'm still extremely early on in the game and some of these enemies get a red target with just a few sword slashes even when they're blocking if i just wail on them. i'm sure that will change as the game progresses and gets tougher, but it's not exactly training me to rely on deflects as much as i thought i would need to. and that just further fuels my lack of patience for dealing with any of them during these repeated attempts to kill one miniboss. i'm not gonna stealth around a section and backstab enemies when i can just slice them up or completely go around all of them and run straight to the miniboss so i can get my death over with.

idk. i did a ton of complaining when i first played bloodborne, but i really thought after playing bb, des, ds1, ds3, er, and lies of p, that sekiro wouldn't feel like that much of a departure. but i'm just not loving it the way i expected i would or thought i might based on all the praise.

i'll keep going, but it's a bummer i'm not having more fun with it.

I should give Sekiro another go. It's the only souls game I couldn't finish and I gave up at the butterfly lady boss which is really early on.
I can finish all the other entries in the series but for some reason find Sekiro extremely difficult.

Can't understand thinking Sekiro's movement is janky. It's one of the smoothest games I think I've played. Wolf definitely shouldn't be missing ledge grabs... but that does make me think you're doing them wrong. You know you don't have to time the grab move with when you're next to the ledge, right? You can just hold the button down and wolf will magnetize to any ledge so long as it's held.

Also, you're absolutely right that you should never be waiting for an enemy to attack to get a parry. You should always be aggressive as hell, way more than in other From games. You can cancel into a parry from almost any movement, so just stay offensive unless you see an attack coming. Never wait for them, just respond when they do come.

I, and many other Souls players, struggled a lot on the first run because I tried to play it like a Souls game. You shouldn't do that at all. There's no stamina and very few actions that lock you into an animation priority move. So you should always be sprinting, always be offensive. Don't walk around enemies, run. Don't wait for attacks to come, get in their face.

Unrelated, I finished FF12. Shame about the combat, because in every other respect it’s my favorite FF game. If it had either 10 or 13’s combat it would be one of my favorite games of all time.

What do you think the R stands for BP?

I don't have an Edge controller so I don't know for sure, but either that was right and it is thermoplastic rubber, or maybe you meant TPU like a phone case or something else.

Regardless having it just peel off the controller like that is reminding me of early DS4s and how you basically had to get thumb caps for them.

FF12 is top tier FF for me, I just like the way you can set up the gambit system. It's got a lot of depth to it.
I know it's not for everyone though.
The game as a whole is amazing; great story, great set pieces, great music, great voice acting, the whole lot. Alongside Rebirth, it's one of the most complete and well-rounded FFs to me.

Imagine not liking FFXIII & FFXIII-3 lmao

Yeah, I'm aware, but that's sort of the point. Synthetic materials are designed to replicate the surface effect of the original material, in this case the 'grippiness' of natural rubber or latex rubber. 'Imitation Leather'/Polyurethane film, another synthetic used fairly often in electronics, clothing, and home furnishing has also been designed sell the surface characteristics of a natural material without having many (or any) of the benefits of that material, but reducing the cost of manufacturing. In addition to very different normal cellular lifespans synthetics also respond differently to humidity, cleaning products, spills, impact, contact with body oils, and uv light.
