it's insane how awful the combat in this game is

[LunaQuak]

using a sword+shield feels like im trying to throw a brick at balloon, not being able to even have like a psuedo-lockon or at least being able to rotate which direction im blocking w/o having to turn my fatass around and then press the block button. that + all the performance issues, man I dont even know how this game got released

there's a difference between 'not holding your hand' and just being a generally ♥♥♥♥ combat system. like it can be an amazing thing and not hold back and that would be fine

And it keeps getting better and still doesn't hold your hand.

It's a game where you get progressively more powerful with time.

In fact, I understand your reaction, it's a new game for you, you just have to struggle at the beginning of the fight and hop it's crap, it's too hard, bah refund the game that's all, if you do not want to progress, you must play the game to master the gameplay of combat...

I never understood what is so difficult to understand in this game combat-wise. I was melting everything including cyclopus holding 1 spell as my mage. Do fans of this game really in their sane mind consider it to be complex or hard?

I really don’t get why this game is at all popular, cos sounds like the whack af game mechanics are still here and they improved nothing since the janky original.

Like laughed so fing hard reading reviews and someone called original “genre defining”. No one cared about this game back then, basically an instant bargain bin title. Since then, one of its major competitors has become norm for action RPGs, ya dark souls was genre defining, this is just hilarious to watch the hype band wagoners assemble cos, some YouTubers said to play it? XD

While blocking and pressing the direction you want the shield to face, press the shift key (circle on PS Controller and B for XBox Controller).
It takes a bit getting used to.

Me personally, I think the combat it great.

The combat is really, really well done. Maybe play a class that you like.

Or just learn how to play, this is not Final Fantasy...you actually have to use more than 1 button to play.
