Dumb controls

[Ryan]

Literally stuck in the TUTORIAL section trying to wield a greatsword
RB > Left stick down + RB
Dunno what its asking me to do, pressing all combinations possible, not clearing.

This is really bad.

It's a combo string.

First swing of great sword RB.
Second swing down+RB.

[MJAndre]

There's your first problem. You didn't change control scheme in settings to Type B.

Dagger tutorial:
RB > RB + LS + RB > RT
WTF is that even asking me to do.

Why are they using a greater than symbol?

It's an arrow pointing to the right to signify actions in an order.

It's not an arrow though, it's a greater-than symbol.
This game, pulling my hair out on a fking tutorial.
No wonder people aren't buying it. Another Forspoken.

Would say to ignore the optional weapon tutorials for now. It's there if you want to delve deeper into the weapon and come back to it. You can clear the game without a number of those, but they do add to your tools to clear content if you can incorporate them with minimal effort.

Wow this thread is full of rude people. To answer your question, the ">" symbol represents the next action in a sequence. RB > RB translates to pressing RB then RB. If you see a "+" symbol then that is a simultaneous button press like LB+RB which translates to pressing both buttons at the same time.

In your Greatswords tutorial, the combo RB > LS > RB is a sequence of actions BUT what are you supposed to do with the Left-Analog Stick? This could be explained better in the game and confused me too. Look at the LS icon again. The LS has an arrow inside of it which indicates the direction you need to move the stick.

In this game, moving the Left-Analog Stick backwards, to the side, or forwards will result in different attacks for each weapon. It's very important to pay attention to the little arrow inside the Left-Analog Stick to know which direction the game is asking you to move the LS. In this combo, the LS has a down-arrow inside it which means to move the LS down.

In short, the combo you were stuck on is: RB then Left-Stick Down then RB.

WOOPS. The combo is actually RB > LS-DOWN + RB.

So that translates to pressing RB then Left-Stick Down and RB simultaneously.

theres my problem, that stick is also the movement stick, i want to be moving towards to mob but the combo is asking me to move left or right, or where ever. If im not constantly moving forward the mob is jumping out of range for my standard attacks. It just feels weird.
