It helps it stand alone, the story is finished, it doesn't need a continuation, and it won't sell as well compared to the other series fromsoft makes so there's not much incentive
I think FromSoft next major work after ACore & ER DLC should be a game similar to Sekiro cuz i think they also know how good this combat system is and they will definitely try to implement it again.
Fun fact: the seven spears were real units in Japanese history. After a victorious battle in the Sengoku era, a Daimyo would pick seven of his Samurai who had performed the most heroic deeds during the battle and declare them his “seven spears,” his most elite men who form his personal guard or who would take key command positions. The most famous examples are probably the Seven Spears of Shizugatake.
@@AutistiCat2406 I read it in a book called Sengoku Jidai by Dan Carlin where he mentions the practice being adopted by other Daimyo, but as to where he got the information I am unsure, as googling, like you, only shows the spears of Shizugatake.
actually.....Seven Spears of Shizugatake is more just a watered down name for those generals in Battle of Shizugatake. Since Hideyoshi can't control the retainers once under Nobunaga, so he was more likely just over propaganda his own retainers and generals to suppress other surviving retainer from Oda clan
@@liaogregor4047 Fair enough, every one of the Seven Spears of Shizugatake betrayed Hideyoshi’s heir when Tokugawa Ieyasu was trying to take power. We’ll never really know what exactly went down.
@Sangheilitat117 it has more to do with Hidetsugu's death and Imjin War's failure, but we can all agree that most of Seven Spear have no sense of politics at all, which makes them easily manipulated by Ieyasu
@@Onii-chan_chosoAt this point Sekiro and even Ghost of Tsushima have better stealth than AC. Even if the enemies are almost blind in Sekiro, it's still more satisfying. And don't get me wrong, I love the AC series.
@@High_Monk For Sekiro I wouldn’t say that, the stealth is very bare bones, but the combat makes up for it. Ghost of Tsushima probably does, but that’s because the whole point of the game is that Jin is breaking the morals instilled in him for his people, so it gives you a lot to use for stealth.
Recently started playing resurrection mod! Its almost like playing the game for the first time again. Love Sekiro so much, but Ongbal loves it even more :D
@iron_bhay Fantastic mod. It's a vanilla-flavored overhaul, with new enemy layouts, new attack patterns for enemies, a few new gameplay mechanics, and generally higher difficulty.
This fight with Seven Spears might just be the best choreographed fight Ongbal has ever done. The weapon wheel mod was built for this man. Using the praying strikes was something I knew he was gonna randomly break out sometime and it was gonna be awesome
yo I’m confused on how he uses multiple of the skills like he uses the Sakura thing and also the praying strikes but I don’t see him changing anything? Is it a mod? And if it’s the weapon wheel I don’t see any weapon wheel?
@@meh84f84f it's impossible to remove the hud on the weapon wheel. Instead, he used the hot keys on his keyboard meaning he had to press 1-9 with his hands still on his controller.
@@Ghost_Of_Sparta212 Not as far as I can tell. I don't own a PS4 but generally you can't mod console games unless the game itself supports modding (like Skyrim Special Edition for instance)
There is no player better than you in sekiro you is my number # 1 of all masters i finish sekiro about ten times and i don't have ¼ of your skills you are truly the best of all best "ONGBALL"
Love the little changes the mod adds. Rather than having Seven be left open by trying to recover after his deflected countered-thrust-followup, he actually tries to followup that followup with a sweep. Even does a grab after a countered thrust. Of course, Ongbal denies him from doing said attacks, so bit of a moot point.
I finished this game about a week ago and am now playing ds3. It’s amazing how much playing this beforehand has helped me play that game, despite the significant differences. Like this game encourages you to get up in the bosses’ faces and whittle their posture down, whereas that strategy in ds3 seems to lead to death most of the time.
that was how I felt playing thru elden ring. the DS series is much more reactive combat, while sekiro can be extremely proactive. I found it difficult to enjoy ERs combat as much as sekiros, and I spent most of the game wishing I was playing more sekiro instead
@@cooltv2776I became bored of Sekiro, very repetitive with not enough variety. The fact that you have the mod in the ability to use all the combat skills at the same time is proof enough. Still enjoyed my time with it but its not worth a replay
@@Majorblack true sekiro doesnt have the character customization that DS has, but I never cared much for that side anyways. I liked the combat, and I liked how stealth was handled its an entirely different game when you get past the surface level similarities, and I liked the differences, but I get they arnt for everyone
@@Majorblack I dunno, when I started playing sekiro I didn't stop until I got the platinum trophy (I recommend to give the charm back to Kuro and ring the demon bell), whereas souls games get super boring for me after like 2 playthroughs. Combat is nothing special (dodge and light attack, or stay far away and blast the boss with magic) and the tons of weapons don't really make the gameplay that varied, the difference is basically one hits harder, is faster ot reaches farther than the other. Souls boss fights feel like a chore for me (except Gael), unlike sekiro where the combat is engaging and feels rewarding. I actually want to fight the boss again after I die, because I enjoy battling them so much. So far I've played Ds3 (4 runs), Bloodborne (2 runs), Elden ring (1 run) and none of them felt as good. I quit Ds1 after like 30 minutes, I find it to be unenjoyable, I will give Ds2 a try someday.
@@walkingburgers95 Dude I definetly agree with your criticism of souls combat. Truth be told I'm more of a monster hunter player. Sekiro's gameplay is great but I truly feel like I need some more stuff to chase in a game other than getting good. Sadly my brain is hardwired like that after playing cod during my teen years. I was being a bit harsh but I did really enjoy its combat loop, I just wish there was more to do in it, guess I'm waiting for the sequel.
Which stealth focused areas have you *not* done at this point? I love these videos, bossfights are such a small part in comparison to the whole game and this gives that perspective again. Great vid as always lad!
What i figured out about seven spears is that u really dont need to clear the area every time to fight him. They almost never agro when ur mixing with him. I know u did here for style and we all loved it trust me. Awesome vid.
Thanks for the modder that made the changeable skill art on the fly. I always felt that Fromsoft wasted those oportunity by making just one skill art to to be used and only can be change by opening the menu.
Okay.. this is the new number one favorite. I can't get past the first part of this game so I watch these vids all the time. Every time i watch it is something I have never seen before, but THIS exhibition is by far the best display of skill, and cinematic control of the game (the camera work by the player was deliberately executed for effect). Sheesh I wish I could get this good at that game. All I ever wanted to be was a ninja, but they had to go and make it souls-like. lol Thanks for the vid!
This games combat is so fucking nice, and quite unique. It can literally make you feel like an anime protagonist. How many games nail combat so well. Maybe DMC, specially DMC5. Can't even remember any other. There are other games with nice combat, but not a thing of this lvl. That looks almost like a movie, when it's an actual good player playing it.
This game not getting a sequel should be considered a crime
forget sequel, not even a goddamn DLC.

The npc at the bottom of the stairs can get aggro’d if you go too close while fighting 7 Spears mini boss
I press like before I watch the whole vid
01:54 かっこいい
thanks for showing off all the extra hits you can land on Spears!
Whenever it's convenient to you, can we see a RT MAX No HUD video of you bullying Malenia?
Astonishing, just amazing
made me wanna play Sekiro again. Great Video!
I am a simple man
I see ongbal i press like
I've just noticed there was a sniper in the tower, killed that spear a while ago and that dude didn't do anything while kicking his boss arse hahaha
That’s because he’s only there in the Resurrection mod
@@Sangheilitat117 thanks for the info!
Your gameplay videos are so cinematic. Very entertaining :)
lore accurate sekiro
The spears of all time!
you made me playing Sekiro: Resurrection Mod :)
its so fun to play from the beginning!
Seus combos são incríveis.
bruhhhhhhhh that was epic af!!!! so cinematic, so pretty to look at. wow! great seq! i even put full screen! XD
Another day, another masterpiece!
Ongbal on sekiro, today is a great day
This is legit how I feel Wolf would fight in like an anime or something, agressive but cunning.
This gameplay is just orgasmic, Sekiro definitely have the best combat system of all time
Best from software game by far ! It never gets old watching it
you are still legend always amazes me
So dang awesome! All the combination of skills and prosthetic tools are awesome!
This gameplay has been Spectacular broth!! Awesome!!🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for doing different Just completed the game in just two hours killing each and every only main boss 💐💀
AS good as this guy is, I NEVER EVER see him fight multiple people at the same time
So much style and personality
Unreal haha I might need to fire Sekiro back up watching you has improved my skills dramatically
Nightjar firebomb was new to me, quite cool mod, and awesome play by the soulslike God once again
Ongbal makes the easier bosses look hard and satisfying to beat but the hard bosses so easy. A compliment by the way.
Ahh I remember this guy giving me more trouble than 90% of the bosses in the whole Souls series.
absolutely love this ongbal. Great work!
Legend says ONGBAL still creates incredible Sekiro play.
This is exactly how I imagine Wolf being the successor of the Owl

Im glad someone is playing this game the way it was intended to be played 😊
Ongbal is ultimate master of all games he play!
@ongbal how do you set how keys and hide ui for weapon wheel mod??
2:16 This parry alone is better than every other souls game "roll and attack" combat
This guy was harder than damn near every boss beside isshin, demon ofH and owl. Even then it depends sometimes. Your nuts as usual ongbal
One of the few times we see you going through a area.
Love to see you with the Sekijo drip
Annyeong! Dude, half the time I played this game, it reminds of you.
What a amazing fight this inspires me to try to learn to fight the same way!
The greatest sekiro player ever
Those combat art switches looked sick dude!
awesome style as always
Always want to play this game again when I watch ur videos
This is beyond perfection fellow shinobi of culture 🍷🎩🗿

You just made me buy this for my xbox so i can replay it
How beautiful this game could be...
that was exciting beginning to end
Your videos and gameplay are like art to me. You play so beautifully.
I am curious do you use fps unlocker, or do you just play at 60 fps?
Sheesh theres 3 souls games i need to play and this is one of them.
I just hope FromSoftware never nerfs ONGBAL in a future patch. 🙏
This dudes boss fights look like movie scenes, it’s absurd.
Haven't played in a while. Is all this stuff just normal weapons you can acquire through gameplay? Or is any of this mods?
Lol imagine walking outside to check on your troops to now see they’re all dead a second before getting hit with a flying firehammer outta nowhere
That was.......Beatiful
옹발님 덕분에 최근 세키로 사서 열심히 하고있습니다.. 세키로.. 너무 재밌네요..!!!
Yes please, bring more new Sekiro videos
No hesitation😊
Always love to see some ongbal Sekiro gameplay :D
