I reccomend you give Sekiro a try or watch a let’s play. You clearly don’t know what the game play looks like. Bosses should be hard but I never had to watch a video or read a guide to beat something in a souls like game.

Sekiro is a much better game than both Jedi Academy and DMC4. It is in no way slow or boring. My opinion and also the opinion of the majority of reviewers.

Every game you have mentioned enjoying involves a lot of hand holding. I get why you are not a fan of Fromsoft. You have a strong opinions but I assume it’s just because you are likely older and jaded like myself. Nobody under 30 has played Jedi Knight/Academy.

That being said all of those games are very different from one another. Sekiro is a completely different beast. The only thing tying them together is above average difficulty that can be (mostly) alleviated by grinding.

You have to face that we aren’t the target demographic anymore.

They only need to make sure it’s difficult enough the average user can’t be bothered to figure out the workaround. I’m sure without looking they made a considerate sum from the neglected children market.

Ubisoft sells cosmetic stuff in their singleplayer games.

In all likelihood you will be too busy with the flooding, the heatwave, or the tornados.

People forget climate change is going to affect nearly every corner of society. There will be very little safe haven and overcrowding in those spared the most.

Plenty of non-americans care about the US election. It has a fairly large impact on US foreign policy. Apathy toward our government is what allowed us to be in such a sorry state of affairs.
