I really hate using some of these summons for these boss fights...the bosses hitting hard isn't the problem I beat both nioh games with light armor and no summons...the problem is they don't stop attacking and alot of them have crazy AOE attacks...on top of that the way your character moves me coming from nioh where movement is everything I can't dodge/dash backwards how I want...it's like your character is stuck is quick sand

Really hope the next souls like game from them adopts the bloodborne sidestep or teleport into their core designs.

Rolling around with these fast ass combo heavy enemies is getting dumb

I felt the same.

The AI is already tough to predict at times and throwing in a teammate sometimes caused the boss to retaliate earlier than I wanted.

Or I'd be expecting them to swing a certain way but due to getting hit by your teammate their aggro switches and they change the path of the swing mid movement, throwing off timing/spacing. Or you attack too much and their aggro switches over to you when you don't expect it :mad:.


After Dancing Dragon and understanding the shards mechanic better I stopped using the summons for that reason.




I'm sure another boss will cause me to take that back though :dead:

Time to see the other 5 games Miyazaki’s been working on the past 2 years cause it certainly wasn’t just this

I been forgetting other games exist lately, cuz :snoop:
I checked Steam and there's like, 5 games I favorited that have updates pending - dropping your update into this window if you're a combat-heavy game at all just seems like a risky strategy.

Though I guess when people ragequit SOTE for a bit but still want to game they can eat off the increased gaming audience :ohhh:I see the vision.

I think it's dumb. But I see it.
