My god I hate this dodge/parry crap.

Lack of a mini map is driving me insane as well. JFc.

Real time parry makes the stat check, math formula solving that turn based games are actually skillful. Every turn based game is just have the appropriate gear and build and you cannot lose.

[MrJane]

Nope.

i also felt that way too, until i finally learned how to dodge/parry correctly and actually observe the enemies' moves carefully to learn when the right moment is to press the button. it takes patience. you'll get there.

I don't want to "get used to it." I don't want twitchy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in my turn based rpg. I've quit the game and won't be playing it again. What a waste.

your loss

[tempestary]

Lotsa fights in, I still don't understand when it's the right time to press Q or E. I just keep spamming the buttons with no real result. While I do enjoy the tactical component, the dodge/parry ♥♥♥♥ is just killing me. Sometimes, literally.

Easy mode, explore for all pictos, crank up defense and vitality, focus on weapons that gives those stats higher grades, grind enemies. You'd spend hours in old JRPGs grinding for levels, yet no one seems to want to do that here. And you couldn't even parry in those old games!

[Ryuseki]

Sounds like Easy/Story mode is for you! Instead of quitting and raging you can just put it on easy, simple solution right?

It's awesome. I love the system. Especially in a turn based game. Adds skill over luck. Genius.

When you press is different for every enemy and different attacks. You have to memorize it. Some bosses have attacks that hit you once, twice, 3x and another you have to jump after x hits etc

Git gud

[Gameinsider1986]

Same. My only gripes with the game also.

And my issues with reaction time that can not be fixed by "getting gud" atm are also an issue.

I'm glad for those where it is a simple matter of "gitting gud", though.

I finished all souls games (aside from Sekiro due to too many issues with completionism) and am struggling here, due to FPS drops or whatever else.

Enjoying it a great deal so far, though, aside from the lack of mini map also and getting lost often trying to get everything.

But yeah, guess people with genuine neurological issues etc. just need to "git gud" or people with forever paralyzed legs just need to learn to walk (again). Wish it was so simple. Yay.

As someone that enjoys parry mechanics in games, this is was the selling point, and i'm quite blown away by the story too.

Welp...I came here from CRPG/turn-based RPGs and, not being a big fan of DS-like games, this system kinda ruins it for me. I must admint, in any other aspect, the game's a gem.
