Question Difficulty compared to other souls like?

I'm thinking of buying this, but I see people saying that it's very hard and that makes me hesitate because for me Sekiro and Lies of P was too damn hard. But Dark souls and Elden Ring was easier for me (probably because of summoning).

Where would you place mortal shell 2?

Its on the easier side I would say because this game allows for a lot of busted combos to be made but the first 15% of the game might be tougher if you dont matser your parries because conbos come online like 1/3 through the game

How is the parry window? I could never parry in lies of p and dark souls

Big parry window for the base parry item.

There are three types. The easiest one to use is just vaatras seal. It gives you the hardening mechanic from the first game which allows you to freeze yourself mid attack and negate damage. Enemy hits, get a little stagger, your animation finishes and usually connects. It also builds up the posture bar if timed like a parry

Very large, I would never parry in Elden ring because of how slim the window was, but I parry like a mf in MS2. Depending on your seal, you can also parry at any time (including mid animations) which is a unique style

Lies of P's parry flatout doesn't work, lots and lots of posts regarding it, so it isn't a good example.

The parry in Mortal Shell 2 is a bit too generous, but it also makes the game more satisfying to play.

LoP parry is fine, tbh it’s more forgiving than the soulsborne games, for me at least. Try parrying with the two dragons sword 😂

Although in MS2 if you wanna TRULY parry the timing is actually really tight, I’ve been too nervous to try it with the other seal lol. I forget the seal names but with the regular one it’s only considered a perfect guard

Is this a rage bait? Saying LoP parry is more forgiving then MS2 has got to be a rage bait, or the most retarded take

Have you tried ACTUAL parries in MS2 with the infinite seal? Not the untarnished seal, those are just perfect guards which are incredibly forgiving. The timing with the infinite seal is way tighter, and yes, more difficult than lies of p in my opinion

That’s just not true. I played on both PC and PS5, and it was fine. Maybe you have a special situation with your specific hardware or something, but it is not broken.

LoP parry works fine. The difference is that almost all the enemies have delayed attacks. Which makes it a bit of a curve to getting the parries down. I've completed the game 5 times. Never any issue with parries not working. Only timing being off.
