Yeah dodging is dogshyt right now smh. I will keep beating this drum lol, but I can't believe they made it a two button press. Makes no sense. I'm a dodger, so that was very disappointing. The deflect timing seems very strict at times, but lenient at others. Pretty inconsistent. I'm gonna go on record to say that both of these issues will be fixed in the final game.

As far as health, yeah some attacks hit pretty hard, but I think the main thing is it's kinda easy for you to get stunlocked if you're not careful. Them tigers, for instance, have that flurry attack that will kill you fast as shyt if you don't get out ASAP. Same with the boss. He's got a couple of things that you gotta watch out for or else you'll die before you know it.


Yeah its the stunlock that gets me. It basically a death sentence

Game has A LOT of input issues:

Healing barely works and gets you killed most of the time.

This divine beast summon thing flat out doesn't work.

Stealth attack randomly fukks up occasionally.

Kinda wish if they were gonna put a stealth feature in the game that they added a crouch button but on the other hand i dread having another input for something

These games are typically greatly improved throughout the trial periods to launch. Nioh got significant gameplay changes and even stranger of paradise

This game got some issues and they may need to push it back. My first major issue are the control because why in the hell is roll and parry the same button? The lack of stealth button seems very dumb because its just awkward moving stick very slowly for stealth. Feels some of the mechanics don't work how they should when in combat. I think if they can fix some of these issues then game has potential but at the moment there are some issues they need to fix before its ready for primetime

Game doesn't come out til 2023. It says 'early' and usually that means late February or March for TN games. Plenty of time, so no need to be talking about pushing it back :beli:

True, but it feels like those issues may take time to implement since its not part of the current game mechanic.

Beat the turkey vulture only to find out its just a regular enemy that respawn :skip:

Got the boss down to half a health bar in his second form, but he’s relentless with closing distance. This game has dark souls 1 healing where you basically have to stand still and wait forever to use a potion.

Meanwhile the boss is charging a instant kill attack that reaches across the arena in the background. I can tell the boss battles in this game are gonna be ridiculous like Hino Emma

Game is cool. I've never played Nioh or Sekiro or and of those other games but this is alright. Parrying is hella inconsistent and healing is too. I was able to heal while running at one point but not able to heal at all while mashing standing still. Everybody got stabbed in the back.

The loot is annoying as hell though. Everytime you kill someone you have to check your inventory. I had fun though.
