This game has a structured and flowing narrative right? Not like the souls and bloodborne games?

Honestly not sure.
I remember years ago cats tried to argue with me that "Bloodborne" had better writing than "The Witcher 3"....I was like

I love the game but "Bloodborne" is 20% coherent story, 80% Lovecraft references. Hopefully "Sekiro" has a story that makes sense without having to watch 45 minute break downs on Youtube.

That’s what I can’t stand about those games, I played God of War on the hardest setting and fought the Valkyries but kept coming back because of the narrative and I was invested in the characters. With the soul games I am just not invested in the least.

Bruh, thats the best part of SoulsBorne games. You explore the environment to learn more of the story.

I like how these games give you a general feel of the story but it's ambiguous so you come to your own conclusion. Items, weapons, and a few NPC's are all that's needed. Souls (the first flame, coming from the dark, new age on the verge) Bloodborne (the hunt, blood obsession, hunters dream, extraterrestrial beings). S*** just flows nicely.​

This doesn't seem to be anything like the Souls games. It seems like they used "Bloodborne" as a jumping off point and kinda spun it into a new game play system....kinda how "Bloodborne" wasn't exactly like Souls.

Fred.

This started off as a tenchu game not a souls game.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Was Originally A Tenchu And Reason Why Activision Is Publishing It: FromSoftware

souls games been around for 10 years and brehs still expecting from to spoon feed them stories

Our approach to storytelling has not changed. This time we do have the fixed protagonist. We feel like he creates the axes for the main core of the story. The characters, they revolve around him as well. This allows us to frame the story and the settings in a much simpler light than previously. So it’s going to be initially easier to understand and easier to relate to

Breh I am playing a game I want a structured narrative as opposed to reading some scroll and using my imagination.

Yes I have in fact, key word being video game while the other is a book and intended to the read. Look I am not knocking the series it’s just not for me and if this game is remotely like that in regards to it’s story telling and lore I am out.

So then you read books, interesting

So then, shouldn't you play games for the "gameplay"
What would you have done during the nes era?

You've lost your way my man, let the game entertain you and then judge it. don't act like you already know

Anyone getting the PSN special edition of this? Only £10 more than at Amazon
