Wish the counter warning was a bit more noticable..
I can barely even see it come up.. Like they should of picked a lighter color or maybe have a symbol pop up over the enemies head.

I suggest watching their movement instead of those vague red lines.

I do and even when they attack, i press it, and it still doesn't work everytime. Its pretty inconsistent. Sometimes it work others it doesnn't. I prefer Shadows of Mordor, or Arkham Knights counters better imo. Those are most consistant. Althouggh everything else about the combat is superior in this game than those games.

Dunno dude, it's does work and it's pretty consistent.
I can beat the biggest MA club without getting hit once, don't think I'd be able to with an "inconsistent" mechanic.

You have a lot of moves that dont as well though.. Unlockingg and all. I dont know, i press it when they attack, and it doesn't register, maybe its just my game with lag or something. I can press it at the same exact time with the same exact enemy, and one time i will counter the next i wont.
I had this same problem as the OP but I fell back on my Dark Souls ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ which has no prompts and instead you just have to read the animations, it was still a bit of a learning curve but when I got ontop of the curve I found I could counter all day.

I played Arkham Knight and I agree the prompt is more obvious in that game but once you get good you don't even need the counter prompts for those games. Practice, practice, practice.

There are some good oponent challenges in the dojo to practice countering and a fight club outside to practice your counters.

Also a few pre-set outfits can give you a bigger counter-window by slowing down time.

Using the Vigilante outfit right now, makes it easier to counter. Doesnt slow time. Still very early in the game. Also i beat all 3 Dark Souls games,, but i dont see how that would help. Interesting tips though.
Dark Souls parry has no extra graphics besides watching the other guy move.

I think it's super easy to be honest.

Only beating that 'Island' challenge was a bit of a 'challenge'. At the last part of that challenge you have to take out though opponents in a very short time or be crushed by spikes.[ /spoiler]

It's a not a problem at all. Buy the suit if you need it. Challenge. Deal with it.

Kronikos..... you don't need to be such an a$$hole. Like me, some people are short sighted and or slightly color blind n red is a pain to see at times. I think a mark above their head would've been better as I too can't see it.
