PARRYING AND DODGING ARE COMPLETE BS

[Mihai_89]

I swear it's like a freakin curse with this game.

Even when you get the godamn parry and dodging right the enemy somehow surprise with like 5-6 freakin attacks IN A ROW and sooner or later the player messes up.

This is on NORMAL DIFFICULTY.

IT IS COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE BS

You didn't get it right if you're still discovering a new pattern, did you

Focus on dodging if you struggle to hit perfects, forget parrying. It's pretty forgiving on normal

Fanboy attack incoming, launch countermeasures.

Tell me this - HOW in the actual F is it possible if i get the DODGE right does the game tell me that Lune and Maelle dodged it BUT Gustave got hit ?

All 3 of them move at the same time when the enemy does a bigger AOE attack - HOW IN THE F if you dodge correctly do not all 3 of them escape but 1 still gets hit.

GODAMN BS

The hell are you even talking about ?

Im not a fanboy, im not even into these types of games, mostly the game looked pretty good and it actually really is but the actual parrying and dodging windows on normal difficulty are COMPLETE BS

Learn pattern with dodge then go for parry when you know them.
It's not the end of the world If you die.

Still don't know how that happens, but i'm assuming maybe when you get the timing wrong on AOEs sometimes the game only punishes one character, but it definitely feels like something needs to have gone wrong for one of your guys to be hit and not the others (maybe it has to do with status effects like stun ?), because when I perfect dodge a fight everyone dodges just fine

Also it's clearly a souls-like game, treat it like you're gonna struggle a bit or lower the difficulty if you can't handle some pressure, part of the fun is in dying and getting better at reacting to the right cues

You can refund. Ok bye

[genadiyrool]

for someone who trained in any martial arts or/and played a lot of fighting games, this is a great system and absolutely satisfying. there are visual and sound clues, repeating patterns

all little pansies complaining should just go outside the basement and get some physical activity to get your brain reaction going

[Vexillarius]

Dodge with your ears. Parry with your eyes. All dodges have audio cues. You dont even need to looking at the screen when you get used to it. Parries are much harder because you need to read a visual cue which needs to be learnt. Audio cues on the other hand you just need to hear and push the button with zero interpretation.

I just warned you for upcoming posts where fanboys say that you are the problem not the game.

Was Gustave stunned?

Expecting to see here lots of people in comments who have 100% parry consistency "on paper" and will complain about the rest of humanity having skill issues. As for your comment, parry is not complete BS. It's just that the game is bad at hinting you with animations and provides a very weird parry window. You can however memorize the patterns, but because of input lag they might not work all the time. And it's also normal. You can't parry all the time (unless you one of those magicians on Steam community who hide behind their anime avatars but nobody seen them IRL parrying all attacks). However, sometimes game is stupidly unforgiving. Like with Renoir - he sometimes makes weird attacks you can't expect, and those attacks happen 1-2 times max during the fight. So unless you spend several hours learning and memorizing those rare attacks, the rest of the fight will be wasted.

It might take a couple turns to get the timing right but it's very doable. Sometimes the enemy will change up their attack pattern but it's no more than 2 or 3 attack patterns you need to learn per enemy. If you're having trouble parrying, then just focus on dodging.

There are status effects that can make you grounded and not able to dodge or jump.

OP loses in a fight, comes running to steam discussions to cry about the game requiring you to learn how to play it. Accidentally parries other poster's funny message while in tantrum.
We don't even know which battle you're in.
