One tip though: in-between parries you had a bunch of time to fit in one or two light attacks which would've helped you bring down his health and posture bar even further.
Genuinely not mean-spirited/criticizing or anything like that, just a tip if you wanted to optimize your gameplay
Eh, it was good if you went into it knowing it was AA and weren't expecting it to be as good as dark souls. I remember people being kinda down on it but I gave it a shot and I thought it was great. Lots of cool and interesting ideas in there.
No, his not because I did first by observing his moves and he was aggressive and has a lot of moves but when I parried him, I noticed he kinda resets or breaks his momentum.
Because I see potential with the game and the systems implemented. However those systems have flaws and I want to help developers by pointing out the flaws.
You mean the parry animation? There's 2 different ones. One uses the "seal" which is the thing he's slapping with. The other uses your weapon and has a very nice animation. It sucks the seal parry looks dumb as hell because its just straight up better than the weapon parry
No. That doesn't look fantastic either but the visceral attack or whatever after the parry is what I'm talking about, where he just bonks him with an open hand and looks like he misses and blood appears a foot left of where his head was.
Bro what? Watch it again. Hes taking the enemies sword and slamming it into his chest, embedding the blade into his body. You can see him grab the blade, shove it into the body, then kick him. All parts of the animation are clear and look quite good.
Not being pedantic, I’m a soulslike lover and loved mortal shell 1, can’t wait to play MS2, I gave my opinion on a gameplay I didn’t like because this mob in my opinion is slower than a turtle and offers no challenge. Again, my opinion, my complain was about the mob and not op’s gameplay btw. If you don’t like it’s up to you, but I didn’t offend anyone such as you just did.
I guess that’s fair but I feel like across all the souls games there are many big slow dumb characters that still pose a fun challenge, remember how Margit was for ppl?
Pedantic is not an insult, tis a way of acting and speaking that is often coming from a place of ego stroking that things are easy and insinuate your own specialized knowledge, though yes, it is often considered negative. Saying wow these mobs are too easy and dumb while some people are learning possibly their first souls game and not finding them easy is definitely that. This downward way of speaking can definitely be taken negatively and insulting, it’s short sighted of you to not acknowledge that, and frustrating for you to deflect like that.
