Solution for people having trouble with dodge/parry

[ecstatica]

Check nexus mods, the current window for parry is 0.15 seconds on expert and the author posted a mod for 0.3 seconds or 0.45 seconds.

Average human reaction is 0.25 sec, no wonder depending on reflex doesn’t work most of the time.

You're confusing reaction speed with timing window.

Hitting a musical beat on the 4th beat has to do with timing, pressing a button as quick as a prompt is seen is reaction.

If you have a somewhat slower reaction time you just hit the button earlier because this isn’t really a reflex test, it’s a visual or audio memory test

Cheers for the heads-up.

Is there any way to double-check the mod is actually loaded and active? I copy the files as instructed, and I assume it's working, but there doesn't seem to be any outward sign one way or the other (want to check I'm not just placebo-effect-ing myself).

On every thread here talking about the audio cue, most responses are those of us who have never heard it.

Last time I played I tried with Headphones+turned the music down and could finally see what people were talking about, so that's neat.

It'd be cool if just this cue could be isolated and increased.
Either by a patch or a mod perhaps; I'd rather not have to mute this game's awesome soundtrack

The issue is that you don't have much in the range of visual cues on when to dodge/parry enemy attacks

Yeah you can simply pay attention to the enemies animation, but that means that usually you'd have to at least get hit once to get the timing right

Wich i find very strange since there IS a QTE indicator anyways when YOU make attacks, so why not have one for dodge/parry?

Now its true that you get the hang of it eventualy, but thats one hell of a learning curve, wich is worse when some attacks cannot be dodge and need to be parried or vice versa.

A true life saver for me. The "slighter easier" makes the game feel natural. "Twice" makes it feel like Mario RPG games *L*

I have hearing issues and how loud this game is with everything else, I have NEVER heard it.

There's no actual indicator in game or anything you'll just have to believe it's working

Hmm, that's what I suspected...
I only went for the "slightly easier" mode, that sets medium difficulty the same window as standard easy difficulty... but I can't tell whether or not it's working. Sometimes it feels pretty lenient, other times I swear I hit dodge precisely on an attack beat and still get hit.

I'd at least like to understand what sort of alignment the reaction window has to the animation beats... if it's 0.3 seconds - is that 0.3 seconds leading up to an attack, 0.35 second from the attack onwards, or 0.15 before and 0.15 seconds after?

Wow... I didn't know I was so awesome. Seems most people can't learn to parry at all. I'm 38, by the way.

♥♥♥♥, this sounds good. I wish I hadn't played this on PC Gamepass. I can't install any freaking mods or anything, POS.

Parry and dodge will be the least of your worries. That's only two buttons. There are at least two more buttons you get to add to that mix, because you need 12 variations of the same thing because they really needed to drive home the point of what they are trying to do here. That is to make sure we understand Guitar Hero should have been a turn-based rpg.

[Eren Jäger]

My solution: Anyone who has trouble dodging/parrying in the game has to fight Genichiro from Sekiro. After that, Expedition 33 will seem like a walk in the park.

[Deathwing1306]

Isn't that the whole purpose of hard difficulty being hard?

Why? Just follow the instructions, create a ~mods folder in the stated directory and put the files in there. Gamepass won't stop you from doing so.
