How on earth do you time parries?

[Corinthas]

Practically impossible.. I think I have gotten 1 out of 20 vs the girl in sparring (harbour).
No idea as to the correct timing.. will probably wait for cheats before I sink more time in this.

So you want to beat a game fast as possible and consume another game afterwards and repeat the cycle?

Yes I have a huge backlog of games I want to finish and ENJOY. Some games take 50-100 hours to complete. "Consume" lol what a clown.

I do not want to suffer through a dodging mechanic that doesn't respond properly when you press dodge/parry at the exact moment before attack. Some you have to dodge a few milliseconds earlier. This is poor design and not true "perfect timing".

You dont suffer, you are impatient. You gonna live another 40-50 years. Calm the f down and enjoy games. Stop consuming and start enjoying.

If you have no patience to parry or dodge, then you can give yourself a badge of a bad gamer. The game isnt even half as difficult as dark souls. The only stopping point here are the optional bosses you dont have to kill and they are the hardest content.

If you truly wanted to enjoy games, then you would play them at your own pace. Also, why did you buy a new game when you have a "huge" backlog of games?

Didn't buy it. Free on game pass :)

sometimes i can press Q or E but animation even dont start soo there is somethig wrong in game

window to make parry is rly small and it is hard to do sometimes but it is also rewarding you with dmg to enemy and AP soo it is good

I think the devs intended the window to be small and require practice to pull off. It's a risk vs reward mechanic. You can always dodge which is much easier to do.

People are over-exaggerating it so much, it isn't even bad. A lot of people complain here about not being good enough to learn timings with parrying. But like, YOU CAN DODGE IF YOU AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR PARRYING!! And you can play on story difficulty too if it's too much for ya.

I am trying to dodge... I gave up on attempting parries completely.
Even that is finicky.

how is it possible so many of you clowns didnt know what you were getting into when buying this game. its advertised the timing mechanics since the beginning

I was under the impression that the QTE accessibility toggle in the options would affect everything...

Bro you have a window before the attacks start swinging or coming down. This window is like 0,5 seconds. If you mastered that you can worry about multi hit attacks.

Im gonna surprise you.... After 3-4 hours you also have to jump with manual counter. ;)

The early game hell is real. But I think I'm getting the hang of it.

if you tried 20 times and failed 19 times in a tutorial, you need to put the controller down and refund the game

Erm actually it isn't free since game pass costs money

[Hex: Onii-Chan]

I do adore how the accessibility option allows you to skip the highly optional attack QTEs that are 5 times easier to hit than the defensive QTEs that make you instantly lose when you miss them.

They need to make it 2 separate difficulty sliders, one for stats, one for QTEs. If I wanted to test my twitch-reflexes I'd go play Fortnite.

From what I've read is some reviews, the parry and dodge mechanics are the worst the game has to offer. It sounds from the replies that parries are nearly impossible. I'm curious if there's enough frame animations to get the parries down. Watching closely as the game looks good. But if it's marred by a failed combat mechanic, that's not good.
