I feel miserable playing this game

[Speerek]

I really enjoyed KCD1 fighting, but I can't win any fight in this one, that's clearly a skill issue, but man, I can't win ♥♥♥♥. I'm training with Tomcat and can't do ♥♥♥♥ to him, I couldn't even win with two bandits at the same time. I shouldn't have preordered this one
Edit. Thank you all for your tips, I really appreciate it

Hard games are hard

Its a shame there are no training grounds to play on outside of the game itself.

You could just keep saving before the bandit by the lake and keep retrying the combat until you get it. The key is blocking in the right direction and striking straight after you've blocked. Keep your head and don't panic when you get into a fight.

But of course you start of very weak so even using the huntsman sword is tricky. As soon as you can upgrade your equipment. The more you do combat the better attributes you get.

Depending on what weapon you have Tomcat can be hard at first. Make some money with easy to make potions at alchemy bench, like 300-500, go to the town with blacksmith and buy better sword and shield, hunter sword is absolute trash. Swords are not that expensive. You can also dig up the fresh grave near starting town which location you can get by asking people what's new around starting town, there is decent shield and if I recall correctly decent one handed sword too.

When fighting multiple aponents move to the side until one of opponents is behind the other and can't attack you. Prioritize targets with less armor as they die faster.

Don't try to counter everytime you block, manage your stamina, you don't want to run out.

Don't get frustrater about getting blocked by enemies, think of it as just more exp for you. Don't get frustrated by loosing to armored opponents in early game, once you've better equipment they will stop being a problem.

Once you have better sword complete the quest chain for your dog, it will make early fights easier by distracting opponents.

dude, u must suck ass to be this bad lmfao. I beat the 2 bandits 2nd try with some time and skill, are u really THIS bad?

[Bad Brad]

I'm surprised by this because I had the opposite experience. I thought the combat in KCD1 was much more difficult and this one is too easy especially once you learn master strike.

another trollpost. Combat in kcd2 much more easier than in kcd1. Here you can win just pressing two buttons in-time: LMB and RMB

This game is not easy in one bit.. I grindedt the ♥♥♥♥ out of alchemy, now i can make all the best items... but the harder ones are still hard to make at the best quality. Point is... even with all the buffs on me, this game is still hard. I cant 1v5 like i wish.. but while i stand with 22 strength, 20 agility, and like 30 vitality... I can 1v2 moderately easy... depending on who im going against.. If its FULLY geared bandits, then im gonna have a hard time. but with all the debuffs you can apply, it'll make it easy. Your stats matter so much. I repeat, YOUR STATS MATTER SO MUCH.

I find the game too easy and eagerly await hardcore mode.

Combat got easy real quick on the first map as soon as i had abit of armour, the second map however has a big difficulty spike

[Brigadier Elm]

The combat is less painful than the first game, but still has issues.

Namely blocking seems to be a law unto itself, I can perfectly parry 5 consecutive hits, but at random times the parry won't appear and the attack is basically guaranteed to hit.

Dogs are another issue, the gameplay basically boils down to "wait for attack" "block hit" on loop about 3-5 times per dog, per pack, of which there is a pack every few hundred meters.

I think the most annoying part of it all is that I can swing at someone, the game then resets the animation as I "enter combat", and the hit doesn't count - I can see and hear this is an enemy, why can I not get the first hit in.
