This is Why You Suck at Parrying in Rise of The Ronin
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Over 7 weapons with more than 30 combats styles to choose from. This right there is the reason why people might have felt like parrying (Counterspark) was inconsistent in Rise of the Ronin, because well, It is. But that inconsistency is the result of different counterspark animation with a lot of forward momentum, which in some cases might lead you the player pressing the parry button sooner than later to effectively perform a counterspark. That said, it takes some getting used and the disparity between weapons and combat styles doesn’t make parrying unreliable. After spending a while at the dojo and parrying with confidence every enemy faced, I can tell you that countersparks work if you are willing to put in the time. The question is, with so many different variables, can we blame the game for being overly complex with little to no explanation as to how weapons and combat styles may affect parrying altogether

I feel like later in the game enemies just don't have animations. And then they are either just super delayed or just instant. And then if you do miss a parry you're stuck in an animation that you can not longer continue parrying the incoming attacks
Yes exactly. They did it this way to make it excessively hard/annoying. For some reason every major enemy I come across has a super fast across the screen dash. Doesn't matter if it's a big fat guy. He will have a red attack that instantly covers the entire arena or just odd delays
What happens is you do a few attacks. The enemy has hyper armor and can hyper armor through any of your attacks even martial arts. So that one hyper armor they do puts your ki in red. Now you are stunned and they keep sending a barrage of attacks
so it’s not jus me then, i knew my shi was delayed
Haven't finished the video yet but it was pretty clear to me that the counterspark system was Team Ninja's way of getting around the "Sekiro wiggle" a.k.a spamming the parry. You can't spam in ROTR, thats one of the first things I noticed about the game. You're not incentivized to parry every swing, just the finishers. If you can parry every swing thats fantastic but it requires a 100% download on your enemy's moveset
Woo some people I just walk down from just parry what i remembers
Yup and I like it :)
Not exactly. You definitely don't want to be blocking too much either. The Ki reduction is very high. And most of your buffs from gear will most often have some form of counterspark ki increases. Meaning they want you to counter spark all attacks not block..second issue is you don't know which attacks will trigger the stun after a counterspark. Sometimes it happens on the first hit. If you always block you'll lose the chance for a stun
Also in sekiro you can't win a boss fight with spamming. You can some what spam a few times and possibly land a parry or two. But the rest will be blocks that will significantly reduce your posture. Not ideal
@@xShinobiXx This.
My two cents. The blocking of the last strike in a combo works for about 2/3 of the game but then you get to the last chapter and it's completely different. You don't have enough Ki to block every attack in a combo and if you mess up one counterspark the game doesn't let you "repair" your mistake and you'll get hit 2-5 depending on the speed of the combo. That makes the last chunk of bosses so annoying (at least for me). Add the weird flow of combos (delays, fake swings, several red attacks with different timings), different weapons and stances and it's a mess in my opinion
@@xShinobiXxespecially without Kuros charm(in Sekiro), you’ll die immediately.
Heres a tip for successful countersparks:
block, block, then counterspark.
Different enemies have different fighting style patterns. Blocking twice first gives a better timing chance for successful counters
this is the best way to counterspark enemy attacks, because if you try to parry the first hit it's a 50-50 if you fail you will get massive damage, but is you block > block > counterspark is a 100% parry even if the last hit is not a finisher.
yeah except it dosent fucking work
@@kamikazilucas Timing on the 3rd strike from the enemy is important
Except you can parry some of the moves on the first parry. Just parry everything 🥱
The thing is enemies have lots of different patters, styles etc etc etc. I’ve had situations where I parried all moves and some I couldn’t. It’s practice and knowing your parrying animation well with whatever weapon and style you have. It’s far from janky it’s just too many variables.
So guys, different stance = different parry timing.
So guys, different game mechanics than average = different sales(bad) . Buddy, I played cs for 15k hours. You dont know what “hard means” Memorizing AI movements isnt hard😂 Thats just gym going😂
@@d4mterro320 what are you talking about lil bro?
@@d4mterro320 yeah, you can really compare those 2 games...
the parry variations are definitely what holds the combat back from being perfect in my opinion. I like to switch style and weapons a lot and I can’t adjust parry timings every 10 seconds
In my opinion the way ghost of Tsushima handled block/parry/perfect parry also with perfect dodge was by far better parry being l1 now if you miss time you still block or ( subtle enemy window) if you were way off still block at least (other variables enemy unblock able moves ) if you’re timing wasn’t perfect parry doesn’t matter if you’re blocking you get full force
I can appreciate the fact of them having an animation for every weapon and stance.
Thats dedication
I simply just suck at parrying as ive gotten older, my reaction time has gotten so horrible that i just end up being reduced to spamming.
Highly recommend the tatsumu Ryu Combat style, it makes things a bit easier. And pills are REALLY great in this game, especially the more potent ones. So use them to reduce/deal more damage
Well I made it to midnight difficulty and I rely heavily on pills. My character is basically a drug addict fiending for the resources to craft them. When they run out its game over from all of the missed countersparks and drained ki.

The Elden Ring DLC was so fast for me
People love simplicity when it comes to combat they want the enemies to be hard but also want the combat very simple to grasp. Which is why I believe Ghost of Tsushima was such a hit. Not only were the graphics amazing but the combat system was very simple it was an easy pick up and play for a lot of people and didnt require much skill to win. Whereas this requires a lot of skill and thought when it comes to builds and how you play. Fighting five enemies at one time in GOT was not something ppl feared (for lack of better word) versus fighting five enemies at one time in rise of ronin is something ppl try to avoid. I for one love everything about this game and combat it makes u think quick on your feet and requires a ton of focus to play. Its not a game that you can just speed run through it and speed run through battles and bosses. High skill high reward and when you finally get the hang of it man is it satisfying pulling of combos and finishers.
I meam for me de stance thing in GOH was hard for me because not all ennemi needed the same stance and in other gamer like sekiro thats not the case and ghost of tsushima as difficulty a lot of dude play the game on medium and thats great ( but the game is more enjoyable in more challenging difficulty)
Facts easy combat to learn but if not paying attention u can die but some companies ain’t like sucker punch
The white flash in the red attacks is fucking dumb. You would think this should be when you parry but it serves no purpose at all. You know it is a red attack then a random flash just appears in the middle of the attack that just makes your brain think the attack is happening when it isn’t. It was an awful design decision.
I really like the game but i agree when any games does this its odd and annoying why give a visual if it does t connect to anything for me but a distraction
In this game you have to learn the Perry timing for every single stance even if it's the same weapon and the enemies move set timing😅 but regarding all these learning curves we have to go through I still love the game and can't wait to see what are they going to add to the Dlc🔥 is it going to be like Nioh Dlc, harder difficulty and add maybe a new weapon or just another stance to a weapon?
It's also worth remembering that the countersparks in certain stances are also supposed to be used offensively as well as a parry. This is also why certain ones have different timings and forward momentum. The counterspark in Mumyo-Ryu for the katana for example can also be used as a guard breaker, while the counterspark in the Tatsumi-Ryu style can be used as a gap-closer and a combo extender.
I hope this helps me. In Wo Long, I got the rhythm down for most parries but in this game, I have over 50 hours & still struggling with parrying depending on the weapon / fighting style
I feel you it a min to get down in Wo Long but often I just used the staff because it felt smooth.
@@DynamiteBlues I used twin katana’s and mastered water element in that game so I had to learn it fast because water was glass cannon 😂
All I'll say is there will be days where I cannot be touched and parry everything but then the next day I'm getting bodied by everyone and cannot time it at all.
One thing I have a hard time with is that some many of the attacks have delays that definitely get you if you try to counterspark with any rythm. That second or hald second, combined with their poise will practically have you eating attacks often. Sometimes they are likely doing a charge to an Martial Art which will cause a delayed response, so it always disrupts the flow of many countersparks on my end.
I swear, it is like an ai in a fighting game that is reading inputs and changes the command at the last possible second. Tecmo/Koei loves this style it seems, especially combined with Rock Paper scissors. It is actually one reason I kind of like the Gikei (sp) style with the sword. The counterspark often teleports you behind the enemy, meaning a non-perfect counterspark is less likely to get punished.
Gikei UTILITY!🫶🏽 I get lucky using moves that thrust me past the enemy.
Some of the parry moves start working a bit later, you need to press earlier, like for example, Shinto munen ryu's parry(Katana, Odachi and Naginata) These three weapons share the same counterspark move, it feels like try to parry with a shield in dark souls. Once you get used to it, it's actually pretty forgiving, but you are vulnerable for longer time if you whiff.
Next, mumyo ryu, the standard combat style for every weapon. The parry frame starts a bit earlier, the MC swings a big circle, I believe the parry frames is the first half of it.
And there are some styles' counterspark move don't have an attack at all. Like Hayabusa ryu(Katana, naginata) the timing is the last moment before the enemy hits you. This kind of counterspark is the hardest to use since other CS will a least try to stop the enemy by hitting them when you fail to parry. But this costs the least amount of ki to use, and has less recovery time.
The system is fine, though it is unforgiving. But that's the price you pay for using the wrong stance. 🤷♂️ I think the problem might come in too, people want to use certain stances because of how they look/feel...well I think they messed with the parry windows for the new stance match up system. If your using a stance when the enemy has a red arrow pointing down...your timing has to he near perfect. But if they're in the blue you will have a MUCH easier time parrying. I'm about 60 hours in and am having a blast playing unarmed with a katana for really tough guys. If you follow the systems, the game does a great job of teaching you how to use them.
To anyone having problems, just put the game on easy (dawn) difficulty and it's a lot of fun and pretty easy (with occasional difficulty spikes. Even on easy, be prepared for the final boss. But as long as you are prepared with a lot of health items (make sure the stats are leveled up enough to carry at least 9 medicals and 3 elixirs by default) and at least 3 paralyze items you can put on the sword and know when to do a temporary tactical retreat when the final boss is going crazy, you will do perfectly fine). No shame in using the easy (Dawn) mode. Just have fun with the game (it's incredibly great).
honestly when i fought my blade twin i just thought of the npc as myself (or equal) and was able to parry lost attacks
lol I play it on normal cause I already knew I was gone get my ass handled 😂 an I seen that I couldn’t keep up so I switch it to easy
I found the spear to be the hardest to parry. The Odachi is slow so it messes up your rhythm when facing katanas. I think it’s people who are fast past fighting and are not taking their time with each encounter gets owned. I’ve stayed with katana samurai load out and found myself two hitting enemies. I doubt find the controls messy it’s how you approach each enemy and how you find their rhythm when of attacks. So strategy comes into play into every encounter.
Most attacks literally have a flash to indicate when to press the parry
In my opinion the way ghost of Tsushima handled block/parry/perfect parry also with perfect dodge was by far better parry being l1 now if you miss time you still block or ( subtle enemy window) if you were way off still block at least (other variables enemy unblock able moves ) if you’re timing wasn’t perfect parry doesn’t matter if you’re blocking you get full force / with rise I think the main reason for alternate button for block or parry is mainly to intentionally separate them so if you attempt the parry incorrectly you are now exposed to their martial skills with you can’t even soften on the other if you only play it safe and try to hold block and chip away with short quick moves between their martial skills you will deplete your stamina before making any serious headway with most formidable opponents it’s annoying still but the more I play the better I at least understand them
Now if only I could remap r3/circle for your only two options for crouching and sprinting 🙃
3:12 the reason u move in Rotr is because the parry isn’t just a normal parry but a counterspark. a parry is basically deflecting. a COUNTERspark is you countering the enemy attack to get a attack in after u parry dealing health and ki damage
I think it slightly does have a janky parrying but it could be easily misinterpreted to wrong style parrying to another
This the truth
1. In this game, some of these characters has the same animations at the start or very similar, that's why some people be confused and can't parry it.
2. On midnight, few characters seem like they be attacking forever, even when you parry it. and if you miss some of it your stamina will drain down a lot.
3. I don't know if anyone else notice this, but the enemies in this game can keep attacking forever without losing any stamina.
4. There's a little few moves when you gotta parry it waaaaaay to perfect.
I can understand why this game has a low score, still probably sold well tho.
Team Ninja is not fond of being able to option select block and parry because it makes parrying too safe which means it has to be weaker. If you look at Nioh they had a similar system called burst counter but with only 3 moves, one was a block that acted as a parry, another was a strike that you had to hit when the enemy was red, and the last was a dodge that you had to dodge into the attack at the last possible moment. Here it's kinda similar but you have more counter sparks and the parry mechanics is more similar to DMC where any attack that had parry frames can parry as long as you're hitting it correctly. Is it unnecessarily hard? The game does give you enough room to fail it and try other options so I don't think it's that hard for the purposes of most people to at least win the fights. If we're talking about no damaging I think it's a bit harder.
If games gave more indepth info about how they worked. For example, explicitly showing the player the parry timings described in milliseconds ie "100-300ms into the countermove it has active frames." Then players would be less confused. Most games with timed inputs don't do a better explanation than "press just before attack lands". And don't explicitly show the downsides and benefits of using different defenses, because that's up to the player to figure out. Players however, have come to expect games to work certain ways, and I'd really prefer if gamemakers gave more explicit, highly detailed descriptions of the game mechanics.
Footsie for spacing. remembering the timing.
Spacing for timing, There are times where I'm good at the perrying if I have the correct amount of space, or am terrible at pairing, i am farther away or closer.
It parried time😂
I don't like most overly offensive couterparks,cause they lock me in animations that'll get me hit again from enemies wombo combos. Also while swords has the best parry,sabe seem like the fastest animations and I find my self sometime parking too early cause how fast they are
I’m catching hell with the last boss and blue demon! Thanks this helped a bit
Actually the reason they have it like that is because it increases complexity and different difficulty. In Sekiro you can continue to block after parrying if you spam block. It gets rid of that problem. My friend confirmed this to me. This adds to fluidity. I have a video where I switch between enemies after I attack to ATTACK parry and I pulled it off. It gives choreographic diversity and fluidity. Nah bruh this game is just about becoming good.
Parrying was easy for me on the other difficulties but shiet got real and changed a lot in midnight.. should have talked about THAT! And they patched out all the cheese.
Great explanation my video my friend. As a sekiro veteran, I thank you deeply
Im really enjoying the game but yeah counterspark and memorizing all the different animations and timing is my greatest enemy. I dont mind dying to learn how they attack but not being able to hit a parry that feels reactive and flows with how i play or the rythem i got for the fight throws me off cause blocking isnt always reliable lol. Its definitely a struggle for me.
I wish you could parry with both the block button and counter spark buttons. Like if you land a counter spark it does a lot more posture and health damage. But the l1 would be quicker and not do as much posture damage and no health damage. Think that would fix most issues. Just give us a little more agency.
I think people are just too used to press L1 for parry. It just takes time to adjust.
Each counterspark timing is different. The lai stance with katana seems to have the most forgiving timing window
I dont get it. People dont have to use every combat style. I think it is a way better game than i.e. Sekiro. The many weapons and combat styles are just so good and i really hope TN down lean any further towards the simplicity some people expect.
I'm certainly no pro gamer and i do struggle in the dojo a lot. But do I want that as well? Hell yeah
Nothing is wrong with the combat.
There are 3 indicators as to when to parry/counterspark. The red aurora lets you know the enemy is gearing up. The red flash after lets you know the enemy is beginning the unblockable attack. There is a white flash just after the red flash and that's when you parry. Realizing this detail opened the game up way more.
The trick is being there are SO MANY fighting styles and patterns as to how the enemy fights you. Even in rematches. It's like you're fighting a real person on the other end of the controller. That's the challenge. You getting stuck in the combo of getting hit is the punishment of the game. The enemy even suffers when they get caught slipping. It's an earn-and-reward game.
Anyway, the fit for your character is DOPE!
Agreed but then i can't say say I'm not enjoying it because of that😂
It does need more refinement 😊 for consistency sake!
It is something which may bother people in the first 10-20 hours, but you eventually start adapting
Jeez thats a long waffling video of little value. Do you parry on the red flash or are we looking out for a white light!?
It's like souls game or Sekiro that you have to learn the timing and git gud.
I set to hardest mode at start and I'm really suck at beginning. Then I switch to easy mode real quick. 😂
Now I can survive the end game mode but still get destroy really fast if I'm miss calculate the timing.
I love this game, but its despite the parry system not because of it. I really dislike how theyve implemented it. In Sekiro, after a playthrough, i could parry intuitively. I could fight almost any enemy and parry consistently. Ive put over 40hrs in RotR and i still miss more countersparks than i hit. There are so many movesets to memorize, and with most attacks i dont have a fast enough reaction time to parry on reaction. I have to memorize what feels like are 100 movesets. Its pretty frustrating. I learned early on, they dont want you to play this like Sekiro. They want you to primarily block and dodge until youve learned every movesets. I like the Bayonet, and the counterspark animation is SO LONG.
That's because sekiro parry is reaction based. And the way they made it reaction based is your parry can trigger anytime. Even subsequent Parrys have little delay. So that means you can play the game based on reaction.
In rise of the ronin it's more based on memory because if you react wrong you are dead. In sekiro if you react wrong you just block the attack
Sekiro parry is just to sample compared to rotr.
That is how Team Ninja games work. There are a lot of advance techniques like Ki Pulse, stance switching, weapon switching and a lot of advanced cancelling techs. This is what sets them apart from other games like Elden Ring, Dark Souls, etc. Probably another reason why not everyone is on the boat with Rise of the Ronin coz it requires fast reflexes, a lot of memory management, etc.
@Gurenn83 facts my brother facts. People complain about simple games, but when they get something that is challenging their mental the game is trash and stupid to them. It's sad how people are so confused.
@@Gurenn83 what are you talking about "that's how team Ninja games work?" I know how they work. I didn't say anything about advanced mechanics. All I said was I dislike the parry mechanic.
Can you make a tutorial on how to level up faster?
Too easy coop. To be specific midnight coop. I went from level 60 - 100 in a few hours.
Ok I learned more from the comment section that I did the video. Show us the bosses who have bullshit moves that look like Eddy Gordo/MGS Raiden attacks
Okay so. I was wondering and your video actually helped a lot. I stopped treating the weapons like the Katana parry which I got use to early on as their own thing and I'm becoming a parry queen again. THANK you so much
Yes a lot of weapons feel different katana Tatsumi-ryu style is pretty easy though
if you want to parry on time look for the white flash after the red flash.
That won't be consistent much. You will have to get use to the animation
Do you get the red tier gear at the end of the main story ?
Yes ! A new Difficulty gets unlocked (Midnight) where you acquire The red gear
It feels the best to me out of all the team ninja games I've played
Combat wise, I would put Nioh 2 first but Rise of the Ronin is second.
Hey... When I push the damn parry button right before an attack connects I expect that shit to parry like it's supposed to. I may have the reaction time of a damn spaz but I be seeing hits that shouldn't be hitting when I do the parry. It's absolutely jank 😂
9:18 got d@mn my brother how many hours gonna for half of that damage numbers
37LV character with 30's-ish? Gear hight i got is 300 damage
I'm literally in the same boat as you. How he was able to get those high level and rarity gear was to complete the game, choose to play on the new highest difficulty which becomes "Midnight" when given the choice, then go to the Longhouse, go to Testament of the Soul and replay missions including do Allies battles. Completing all or most sidequests and whatever new public orders may open following game completion (prior to choosing "Midnight" difficulty) also helps to pile on those levels and numbers.
At first I thought that the block and parry (aka counterspark) should have been on the same button too (as in most these type games....R1)....Hold for block, Quick press for parry. But after a while I got accustomed to it and it made sense with regard to how other things work.
And yeah, there's a load of combat styles for various relevant weapons and stances so much so I could hardly memorise what does what in the heat of battle. So I either usually pause the game to pull up the "effective" stance for the enemy to refresh the styles to temporary memory, or just press R1 + whatever and hope for the best.
I feel like parrying is intentionally difficult/brutal because the game is 100+ hours easily. The parrying difficulty always keeps you on your toes. There's a few attacks I can parry well but I constantly get my ass handed to me. Thankfully it's easy to get over-leveled and brute force your way through bosses. The game is difficult but also really forgiving, it rewards you for everything you do. Great game.
I started rise of ronin 4 days ago. I was frustrated cuz for the first time I played a game where there was two diffrent block buttons. I kept dying to low level npcs screaming in my head what genius makes 2 block buttons?
I proceeded to get kicked for the next 3. And adapted fully on the 4th day. Ain't no game finna tell me IM weak.
Literally what I did was just calm tf down and started listening ti the sounds. Having it on high volume helped so I could hear the blade and footsteps. And from there I created a rhythm to counterspark
(The double block mechanism is actually genius. First time playing with such a mechanic but it adds a sense of real danger to the game. If your timing isn't millisecond perfect u can get creamed. And that's 100% your fault not the game. )
No issue with parrying here, the training dojo helped alot! Got this game's platinum already 🎉
Where'd you get the cloak from?
How are ur weapons red and mine are gold
Step back while fighting itll guve you a biggerbwindoe to countrr spark
Who needs parrying? Much like the souls series, I find a work around. Lol
Only complaint I have is the auto save feature. I lost my character because I never had a manual save so I threw 75 hours down the drain. But fire game other than that. I’m saving after every boss fight now lol 😂
Waaaaait…you lost 75 hours of Playtime ? How did that Happen ? Even if you never make a save file, you will always have the option to continue from an auto-save 😨
Yes the same for me. I started a new game and it overwrote the automatic save, I had finished the game level 100, 120h.
There is only one automatic save, if you start a new game it overwrites the old one. ( sorry its google traduction)

1st try : Nope im going back to Nioh
2nd try : Ok i love this also i can create my own villain !!?? 😳😈🔥
This is the absolute worst part of this game. Parrying and blocking should Both be viable options separately. If i wanted to play a rhythm game i would just do that. I love this game but man😭
I never played sekiro. I have a reaction time of a dead horse. I have no sense of timing. I never parry in any soulsborne. I hate that mechanic. I hate rise of the ronin.
80 € wasted.
you can counterspark by juat pressing triangle not triangle+L1
I DONT CARE what people will say but if I pressed the dam bloke button and will not block even if I press it 40 mins early THAT SUCKS That's not making a game hard that making a game stupid Sorry It is simple the guy attack you are ready press the button then block or even attacking is so frustrating They don't mis you do I don't think so and no I don't suck I am pretty good this type of game
Having parry and block on the same button would've been terrible. With this system you can keep your guard up while waiting to parry. If they were both on the same button you'd have to choose between one or the other.
Are you playing on TV or monitor would make a difference as well due to screen latency between the two. Would it not?
Not
I uncovered some janky English
I have only 2 huge issues with rise of the ronin , 1 the bosses is not as fun to fight or unique in movesets as nioh was, even the humans felt really insane to fight, second , the stats on items is so bland and boring that it doesnt feel rewarding to grind after completing the game , its a Shame, I spend 100+ hours in the game though😊

I'm enjoying the game but man alive the combat is wooden.
Ok so I'm only a couple minutes in but please don't tell me you're one of those people that spams a special move over and over again to stun lock the enemy and then act like your good at the game... so far the only thing I've seen you do is parry and then spam the special move over and over

Neh, they ruined the game trying to be "different", they were so close but they always manage to self sabotage.
I dont agree but you do you i feel most games just copy old dark souls and dont like adding anything its nice to see a game go away from that and still be good

💀
I play For Honor Ranked Duels as a Grandmaster player parrying 300 Ms attacks. I have played Nioh, Bloodborne, Demon souls, Dark souls, Lords of the fallen and loved playing them. I've PvPed in these games, and have called players casuals. What I am trying to get at though, is that I don't think it's a skill issue. It took a bit to get the hang of it but I'm now parrying about 70% of attacks and getting better. I think it's a problem with how important parrying is in combat. And once you overcome that, there's no other challenge in combat. The only other obstacles is learning a new NPCs moveset and getting the parry down for them. Combat feels very one-note and stale because of that. So I can say that parrying in this game, sucks. I only start checking these videos out because I was trying to find out, if there was any nuance I was missing.
@@DCLCNINJA i have no idea what the hell you’re talking about but ok. Carry on.
@@DCLCNINJA after playing for honor parrying in for honor sucks and that game is so inconsistent
What I was trying to get at, is that the fact the enemies in the game all have high levels of poise (hyper armor.) And to open them up you need to parry them. Which makes parrying a need and not just a tool/skill to use. In a game where you have find out your weapon's parry frames. Let alone figure out a ton of fighting styles attack timing. Which is so many variables people have to keep track of. So people are trying to find other ways to solve that. One of the ways, is to find broken moves/stances that the NPCs have trouble dealing with. So it makes the combat stiff at first, until you get better combos/moves to work with. That is what is turning people off about this game. It's a problem the first Nioh game had, which they smooth it out in the second game. People have work and family lives, they don't have the time to be a parry god.
All i heard was sekiro is the hardest game. Now that rotr drop and u got to the end with punk ass gear and thinking ur playing sekiro, eventually u will notice how complex this game can be, especially when ur trying to solo midnight difficulty. I feel people dont need to complain now, bc i have heard alot of people talk trash about rotr, but why? U got something different than sekiro, nioh, and wolong. Enjoy the game man.
I agree with this but i also didnt consider sekiro hard just time taking personally i dont find from softs games hard like the hype their fair but not necessarily hard i can beat them with gimick builds even sekiro but challenge runs added that hard part for me rotr is similar to me in that
the mechanics in this game are awesome. the nioh esque difficulty is fine. if you have a problem getting adjusted to the game then stop playing it. i've parried blue demon to death on the black ship in the beginning with no issue and got my trophy for beating him with ease.
Lol
Definitely a skill issue
Parry timing is different on each stance and weapon
Soji was a fkn nightmare, i hated every fight against him 😂
Love this game, it is not over complicated, it took me around 10 hours and upgrades to have the combat click, but once it does…..very satisfying, crucial to understand you are using the correct stance against weapons and styles, the bottom right hand corner is your friend to understand what is going on, if the light next to the stance is blue you will be effective and stagger longer, if it is red they will recover almost immediately making fights very hard, also activating blade flash if memory serves rightly recovers your chi like Nioh 1&2 did, yes the weapon timing is different I would of been upset if it wasn’t, makes fights against all the weapons and using different ones fresh, stay with it I believe you will enjoy the pay off
I hate this fucking game
It aint Sekiro so stop spamming. Just parry every hit 🥱
Nice fashion bro
