What's the point of lock on with these enemies...

[TheRaienryuu]

I thought it was a mistake on my end at first, maybe a button press or fatfinger moment. But there a plenty of enemies that decide to remove lock on when do move or do certain attacks? What the bloody hell is even the point of letting me lock on then. Im trying to keep track of an enemy LOCKED ON, but then they do X or Y move and I've lost lock all of a sudden?...

It's only more confusing because they just teleport or move extremely fast to the side/behind while Im fully expecting to at least get a general direction from the camera, because you know, Im locked onto them. But no, enjoy the backstabbing from an off screen enemy that decided to longer follow the lock on.

Im guessing that this is an intended thing by the devs, but I sure bloody hate it. It's confusing, I lose track of the enemies, especially when it's multiple at once. Some smaller ones and/or with certain colour schemes just blend in really well too, so when they teleport around and you just lose the lock on I get hella confused.

Get good moment? Probably. Still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoyed by this mechanic though. The sheer amount of backstabbing and off screen enemies/attacks feels so much worse than 2018 GOW.

You might have already figured this out, but try messing around with some of the lock on options in the accessibility menu. Setting it to AutoTarget+ won't necessarily remove all of your frustration but it will keep you locked on to enemies more of the time.
