Christ, another perfect reflexes required game.

Christ what a waste of money. You got to have perfect timing for dodging and parrying to win anything in this game and I can't do that. Why in gods name do developers keep doing this?

The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ got my money and I got ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ screwed.

theres an easy mode for chumps like you. also can turn on auto qte in settings for skillcasts.

reducing the difficulty fixes that.

1. it makes Parry and Dodge timings easier to do.

2. you need to dodge and parry waaaay less to win fights.

This game has already sold 2 million copies, turns out this is what people want.

Git gud, or use cheats, or just refund, we don't care.

It doesn't take skill to press a button at the right time.

It takes reaction time.

dodging is pretty forgiving honestly, if you see "perfect" that's the parry timing you'd need.
there's also at least one picto designed around you getting hit so i imagine that is potentially a viable strategy.

Not a reaction. All it needs is knowledge when to press, there is very very little reaction involved if at all. I have very slow reaction due health problem but I dont have troubles in pressing R1 in a rhythm that I already know, there is no need for reaction, I dont even look at screen after 1st parry, I can do other stuff while those 4-5 hits happen because they are always the same for each attack.

Auto QTE is a noob trap. you bassicaly dissable the bonus you get on attacks from Perfect QTE.

At that point you can just Spam press your QTE button you gonna get the same results.

factually wrong. reflex only kicks in when you are winging the button press to a first time seen attack. You look for a tell you time your button press with to do it consistently. Not a high ceiling for sure, but requires conscious effort which is too hard for cellphone kids nowadays.

I thought this was a pure turn based combat game. False ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ advertising if you ask me.

That's already old topic that did not really produce enough clowns for those topic starters, so you are not being original and also choose bad theme for jester farm. Imaging being bad even at jester farming.

The difficulty setting does not change the timing windows.

You can minimize it, but that is factually untrue. Especially in the beginning when you don't have the items and attributes to minimize it. Later in the game, before breaking it, it also becomes untrue when they throw "gradient attacks" and ♥♥♥♥.

QTE turn-based combat has been around since the 90s. That's what JRPG and turn-based RPG fans were expecting, as this game was marketed towards that crowd.

This game fails to deliver to that crowd correctly. FromSoft fans are a blight.
