♥♥♥♥ dodging

[Mashed Potatoes Johnson]

I don't know whose idea it as to put the dodge as just a simple sidestep with the actual dodgeroll being a wildly unpredictable piece of ♥♥♥♥, but it doesn't work with the muscle memory anyone has built with from FromSoft's Souls-likes, or most others for that matter. The dodge feels slow to react, doesn't look like it should dodge at all and doesn't feel as responsive or consistent as it should. Dodgerolling launches you ten yards into a random direction and activating that is just not good. Who designed this?!

It works for me and i prefer it over the constant rolling of other soulslikes. :P

Haha, I feel your pain. I've raged about this so many times. I think I will like it more if I didn't drop frames as often or didn't have as many connection/latency issues in PvP. Rolling around in plate Armour always seemed a little odd to me.

You need to play the game for more than couple of minutes to complain.

Lords of the Fallen has one of the most generous side-step / dodge rolls in recent memory. The amount of i-frames granted by those moves is incredible and failing to dodge attack patterns once known to you just means this type of game is not for you.

Try dodging in Lies of P and you will realize how good you have it in LotF.

It's much better this way, what matters is the iframes and dodging has a lot of iframes here. Rolling everywhere is ridiculous.

Yeah, I absolutely hate the dodge mechanic in this game as well. In addition to the comments above, I hate that, instead of a proper souls dodge, when you dodge toward an enemy (as we have trained ourselves to do), you often get "stuck" on them instead of getting a clean dodge. They obviously tried very, very hard to make a souls clone, but the areas, like dodging, that they tried to do something different, for whatever reason, just tend to frustrate. I guess some more control mapping options would help (to eliminate the double press to roll by preference), but wouldn't change the overall dodge physics.

Master it and be invincible. Dodge is well implemented, lern the timings...
Or like every DS vet would say: Git gud.

I am a Dark Souls vet. Dodging in this game is garbage.

You are not, nothing of the souls-borne's are 100%'ed. Shame on you

Came to this straight from lies of P and thymesia both have a very similar dodge type to this and most of the time dodging is fine but the camera often makes it trash and the way you move around enemies seems kinda strange especially when I fought KINRANGR GUARDIAN FOLARD he is not an especially difficult boss but when I was fighting him it kept doing this circular movement around him and I would find myself right infront of his ax.

Dodge is fine. Combined with parry, you have a lot of options.
Sometimes its better to don't lock on to get the roll, f.e. with the fire giant guy.
(btw.: Bloodborne is similar)
