Wo Long Feedback(PS4)

[mccormickd43712]

Wo Long looks gorgeous, but it also has major flaws. I have beaten WOTN in both Nioh 1&2, gotten to level 100 in Underworld of both, yet this game is kicking my butt. The deflection mechanic is something I have struggled with since DS1, yet this game feels too focused on the deflections with a too frail character.

Hitting a brick wall with General of Man's second form, and the only way I have even managed to get to the 2nd phase was with the Cudgel and Pudao, some rare weapons from my point of view. The lack of healing is crucial, but the boss feels more like a midgame boss than the tutorial. In summary, much like Nioh 2 imo, only with the noted lack of the Feral form Counter. I'm sorry, but this probably will not be a buy from me.

In his first phase, he gets staggered any time you hit him, unless he's charging a red attack. So, just hit him non-stop, but be prepared to parry.

In his second phase, you only need to get him down to half health, then you can press Y+B to trigger the cutscene that ends the fight. He has hyper armor, so just don't get greedy and the fight is more than manageable.

People keep saying he's harder than the next two bosses, but if you know these things, you can see he's not intended to be.

major flaws... why ? the game is kicking my butt.

I mean seriously ? if you don't want to put the time to learn mechanics and combat flow of a particular game that is fine, might not be for you. But let's not make it a general statement on the game....calling your lack of skill/practice at the moment a major game flaw...

I just tried the PS4 demo version today so I could compare both. The ps4 version feels borderline unplayable and it's because the framerate is not good.I would strongly recommend not getting it on PS4. There was a very noticeable delay in the ability to accurately deflect. And even boss attacks whiffed despite going right through me and I was not blocking nor deflecting.

On PC, you could see everything was accurate and got to choose between visuals or performance. The ps4 version doesn't allow you to do that. Which is weird because Nioh 1 and 2 on PS4 both had that performance emphasis option.

I'm honestly not sure that the PS4 version even hit 30 fps and you need that accuracy to play. That's why I say it was unplayable. I can crush Zhang Liang. But on PS4 I got stomped in 2nd form because it was so bad. You can kinda cheese the first form by just attacking but defensively you're screwed and this gameplay depends on that defense.

Managed to beat General of Man, and then steamrolled the rest of the demo. Died more times to the General today then the entire rest of the demo, and finally got the parry timing down. Even managed to blow through Ape and Boar with Zero deaths.

Yeah, it wasn't a well paced demo. They should not have frontloaded Zhang Liang as the tutorial boss before giving players more practice encounters.
