Can't blame him, the only souls born game to prioritize parra over dodge was sekiro I defeated the first miniboss without blocking (almost died, was also indignated with the dodge), just started to Block after some time playing
@@IIKafka I get using past knowledge for current games to get an edge, but we really shouldn't play every soulslike (or any game) like it's the same exact game. Otherwise, why don't we just play Dark Souls again?
its not tho, people complaining saying "the game tries to be like sekiro but the parry isnt strong and you cant act quick enough after..." but the game is literally about using both, but dodge is better most of the time, mostly in 1st playtrough Edit: This is a post full game came out comment, If I remember correctly the demo had a weaker dodge and parry
i got to the first boss and only dodged 3 times until i noticed that its a fucking waste of a button input. why put something in the game that does nothing? you might aswell add a button that turns of the game, at least that serves a purpose.
@@kuro5041 why should i need to upgrade something like that? its like you playing a game as a bird and you have to upgrade your bird to be able to use your left wing so you can fly properly. tbh this game looks fucking amazing but the gameplay is SO bad. the arm attacks are a big waste of time as you have to be inside enemies to hit, weapons only have 2hit combos making combat boring af at best, the fact that you need to repair DURING COMBAT is even worse as not a single enemy gives you time to repair. not only that but most enemies up to the first boss is just faster than the player in their animation, so the big guys who dont stagger are nigh impossible to beat. a game should be both cool and enjoyable to play otherwise its just a bad game
@@Moffattt alright so hear me out: what if we make the harder mechanic stronger and the easier one less rewarding ? parry is the optimal defensive mechanic because if it weren't, then the game would become a rollfest same as souls (im not saying that souls are easy or bad but the fact is that a lot of new players are spamming dodge) so the dodge is made situational. the 2 hit combos are quite bad i agree but you do not have time for more anyways repairing during combat is unique but i agree it's kinda annoying, the thing is: it never comes up unless you're fighting a boss, and bosses give a little breather from time to time the basic arm attack is useless but later you get a nice stun and a grab which is honestly a lifesaver sometimes
I actually finished the game while only using the parry for the red attacks that have a wide area to it and i can not escape it, and the final boss (i had to change my whole build to beat him😅) And i actually enjoyed dodging more than parrying (I did the same when i played bloodborn, never used the parry)
When their healthbar is has a white border thats pretty much like their posture is down and you can do a visceral type strike if you land a heavy attack
Yeah, the game writes it clear as day on the screen LITTERALY while the enemy is staggered and not doing anything. But no, I guess Zanny decided to be illiterate that day or something.
@@pedroportela6476 yea he suffers a bit from wanting to play it like dark souls and not accepting that its meant to be playing slightly different which i like
Man, Zanny would be so good at this game if he actually took a second to read the tutorial messages that tell him how the game works instead of dismissing them and then being confused about everything whilst missing half the mechanics.
You could argue that the game then is doing a poor job of communicating the game's systems without coming off as tedious busy work, short or otherwise, but that's different topic.
@@enol1466 except they're not, Sekiro already proved that that's not the only way Stop trying to force every Souls-like to follow the same damn formula, that's how genres stagnate
Good old Zanny immediately closing and ignoring all pop-ups so he can do a challenge run. He doesn't need core mechanics and design philosophy such as grogginess (posture), weapon artes, the dodge being bad on purpose so you block (Sekiro), and the really cool weapon building system.
@@tommyllama4558 heavy weapons not viable, 20 parrys to get a stun that you need to heavy for. Bad parry and overtuned health on enemies. They decided not to copy the combat which leaves me dumbfounded since the whole game is a copy why not go full sekiro combat or full bloodborne combat but instead took one piece of each and it doesn't play out as smoothly. Either way 9/10 game I hope they learn since they're the closest anyone has gotten to a fromsoft game
@@Eauxz You do bring up very valid points, 2nd game made and 1st time in this style, imo technically flawless in terms of bugs and glitches, and optimizations, i do wish they went full combat one way or another, but honestly most flaws can be fixed in a few patches, I am very much looking forward to the future of this studio and will be keeping an eye on the next game, which looks to be very interesting just based off the small clip we get at the end of Lies of P.
So many of Zanny's struggles could've been avoided by reading the tutorials😂😂 Missed so many stagger opportunities for big boi damage. I pre-ordered this game immediately after beating the demo.
My roommate is playing through it right now and it looks like so much fun lol. Figured it'd be right up Zanny's aisle, but since he didn't read the prompts about parrying over dodges he made the game wayyy more difficult than it actually is lol
watching zanny skip through tutorials on blocking, parrying, stagger and punish, then cry when his dodge spam playstyle doesnt work is truly satisfying
As soon as he said “this game is too easy” I could not wait for him to fight the baton watchman. That dude is the mini margit of this game and forces you to realize lies of p is more parry based for most enemies and more dodge based for others
Bro, parrying does build up Groggy (Posture but you have to charge heavy to activate ripostable state), plus it gradually destroys and damages enemy weapons which decreases their range and damage
Zanny come on I expect more from the evening swan man!! Parry the damn things. And he doesn’t do the charged attack when they are staggered too! 😭 You are better 😑
I'm on act 7 so far, we need zanny's full playthrough of lies of P! I love to see another souls like come out for free on gamepass so everyone can experience what it's like to have to resist throwing your controller into orbit! Zanny we need more lies of P! 😂
This video is giving me flashbacks of that South Park episode where Kyle just wouldn’t read the terms of conditions of an update which got him into a whole human centipede mess with Apple. Remember kids, read the instructions and terms and conditions or you may just end up like Zanny and Kyle
Bro Danny imma lyk rn that whole walking to the side when they do the “big red attack” just doesn’t work in this game😂😂 took me a min to figure it out too
During the demo-The game is confused in itself. It’s basically a culmination of FROMS game mechanics. Hopefully on release the controls and movement will be more…satisfying-rather than a muddy mess.
I trained with this game with the Demo. The bad thing for me on it is...the Parry. I Platinated Sekiro but the parry on this game is a very thigh window. 12:22 When the HP Bar is glowing white, you have to make an charge strong attack, will break the posture and you can make an "Viceral attack".
At 9:05, when zanny talks about Lies of P being Korean Bloodborne, it actually is, because the developer is Korean. So it actually is Korean Bloodborne, lol. I think it's a good take and try tho!
Dodging is ass, “Perfect Parry” is key; you don’t take damage. There’s your key to success. Hell, I’ll give you ANOTHER ONE (“WE THE BEST!”). Dodge after your attacks when the parry frames are done. It’ll save you from being bashed. If not, you can always attempt a second perfect parry. Keep your stamina bar in check tho.
Zanny ignores perfect block prompt, ignores stagger mechanic and punish prompt. Proceeds to dodge instead and gets clapped. What a chad.
Those soulsborne reflexes just won't quit.
When the Dark Souls player finds out he's secretly playing Sekiro without knowing.
The souls blood in our veins
Also ignored all tutorials
I feel like he’s got that old gen console For Honor mentality. Spam dodge and RB and hope your hyper armor carries when you aren’t dodging
I love how Zanny is struggling with the police puppet and the entire chat is just spamming PARRY 🤦♂️
Here's me saying block
Its sad that Zanny has "Don't want to read tutorial and gets confused and mad later on" syndrome
Dark soul syndrome
Arin Hanson disorder
Asmongold syndrome
Illiterate syndrome
"tHerE's nO vAriAtionS to yOur atTacks"
as he ignores tutorial prompts expanding the combat system
And he said theres no dodge attacks, as hes dodge atacking...
yeah, that really takes it out of the gameplay. These games tell you few things, we should read them.
What I loved about LOP was the emphasis on combos.
Zanny is the dark souls of giving you an aneurysm from watching him try to play a game blindly.
Yeah I got so mad that he wasn’t even trying to parry 😂
Zanny: skips the tutorial that literally tells you that parrying is the way to go instead of dodging
Also zanny: "the dodge system sucks ass"
Can't blame him, the only souls born game to prioritize parra over dodge was sekiro

Timothy Bloodborne

I don’t even play the game, but it’s obvious the game wants you to block instead of dodge
I think there is an upgrade that improves your dodging ability, but I don’t know if that will be in the final game
i got to the first boss and only dodged 3 times until i noticed that its a fucking waste of a button input.
why put something in the game that does nothing? you might aswell add a button that turns of the game, at least that serves a purpose.
@@Moffatttbecause you upgrade the dodging mechanic. He’s a puppet so he still has puppet like motions. The way attacks etc are all in stiff motions.

Poor zanny just would listen to his chat when they say parry 😔 WHEN ITS LITERALLY MORE EFFECTIVE THAN DODGING
So it s more like jedi survivor . Parry instead of dodging
@@ShadwRavn sekiro
@@yesno5688 yeah . Even better.
It also has health regen like bloodborne. Blocked damage can regen by dealing damage after, as long as you don't take an unblocked hit

Block button exists
Zanny: 👨🦯
It was all planned, Zanny chose the saber option really quickly so he can do the 3 point saber combo.
This video is just Zanny's DSP moment ngl. He skipped the important part of the tutorial that suggests parrying as the way to go.
I seriously doubt even 10% of this community knows what DSP is 😂

Yeah he’s got that For Honor player mindset of only pressing RB
He did the same thing with monster Hunter, refused to read what his Longsword did and kept doing the basic moves.
You could argue that the game then is doing a poor job of communicating the game's systems without coming off as tedious busy work, short or otherwise, but that's different topic.

I felt bad bc of how poorly I got through the game but now I feel much better.
Thank you :)
ikr? i thought i was bad but watching this really cheered me up
In other words. If you feel that you’re shit at Lies if P, don’t worry, cause Zanny exists
i was screaming PARRY the whole video
Seeing other people play this made me think it might be too easy, but zanny really proved how difficult the game is. If you don't read tutorials
Tbh the game isn't easy at all but you don't have to use parries. I played through the entire demo and i didn't use parrying once
its harder than most souls games but not in a good way its just the mechanics arent as polished as fromsofts games but they got the closest

It's a Sekiro Zanny boy, not just a Soulslike. PARRY
"It's the game, it's the game, not me."
Its you.

So many of Zanny's struggles could've been avoided by reading the tutorials😂😂
Missed so many stagger opportunities for big boi damage.

Pinocchio: a famous italian fable
zanny: 'very british'
"i'm good at this game" is instantly followed by screaming of panic
*don't read tutorials or hints*
*is surprised to struggle*
Truly a gamer moment, i see.
I don’t why most creators like zanny don’t read the prompt and just gets annoyed at the game 😂😂
Mr Zan Man, this game puts an emphasis on blocking and parrying over dodging
The ultimate was charged for so long, why zanny, why didn't you use it
he completely ignored the tutorials so i doubt he even knows it exists
Zanny be a good boy and read the tutorials
Day 61 of asking Zanny to do an uncharted series:
The final boss is Pinocchios nose itself
Mr electro ass is there too
I love watching the beginning of his journey. Because the growth is apparent.
This is a proper DSP Zanny moment
Love you video man ❤
watching zanny skip through tutorials on blocking, parrying, stagger and punish, then cry when his dodge spam playstyle doesnt work is truly satisfying
Zanny didn't read shit, just went in thinking "yeah I've played Dark Souls I know what I'm doing"
Foolish boy.
Sad to see Zanny didn’t care at all about half of the mechanics of the game 🥲
Zanny: Dodges
The Chat Has Declared You Their Enemy!
As soon as he said “this game is too easy” I could not wait for him to fight the baton watchman. That dude is the mini margit of this game and forces you to realize lies of p is more parry based for most enemies and more dodge based for others
"No parry that!" Says zanny as a giant robot flops on top of him
Happy you got the bug after this video and actually finished the game.
This reminds me I'm surprised Zanny hasn't tried Steelrising
"Input delay" "I know when the problem is me" So much cope.
... looks amazing!
I fill the void bloodborne left behind with more bloodborne
"its too stiff" Ayo i had to lower my computer volume bro i had my window open
The issue with the Dodge while locked on is you need to unlock the roll dodge via a skill upgrade that become available later on.
Zanny channeled his inner QuantumTV for a minute there blaming the game for not reading
You ingored the tutorials bro
CLANKAS UPRISING. As foretold by Zanny in his Battlefront 2 days.
Zanny, will you be making videos when the game comes out?
Words of wisdom from Zanny, "When a man dodges, give him his dodge!" ... :)
Been waiting on you to try this lol.
Bro doesn't read any of the pop ups.
I didn’t think Zanny would find this one. Cool
This game is really good and hope Danny takes time to play it
Watching Zanny ignore the parry option had me lowkey so frustrated
Damn, I wanted to see his reaction to the firekeeper.
I just remembered, the Bastard class goes NUTS.
lol parade master giving me guardian ape flashbacks from sekiro
Bro, parrying does build up Groggy (Posture but you have to charge heavy to activate ripostable state), plus it gradually destroys and damages enemy weapons which decreases their range and damage
This gave me PTSD flashbacks to Quinn boosting to max level in FFXIV and ragequitting when he didn't understand the content.

Fear the old blood, Zanny.
"I'm awesome at this game"

”I promise you, I am spamming B” I think that’s your problem buddy XD
It’s honestly impressive that the comment section is gatekeeping a game that isn’t even out.
bro doesnt know the groggy mechanic
Yeah because he skipped every tutorial for some reason
Let’s hope future zanny can read
Ergo -έργο- is the Greek word for work/structure.
not even one person mentioning that you can do pretty good damage with charged heavy attack when the healthbar glows white
Parry for fucks sake!!!!

Zanny does not read the tutorials does not try to look at the game mechanics and says the game is hard bruh zanny
Great demo very hyped
Kinda bummed that you can't find the baby and bring it to the woman tho
So the reason that you unlock better dodge later is that you learn to Block at first tutorial Boss mob
Its more a Sekiro-like than a souls like
DOLLJUICE
Hey Zanny, is there any chance you will try Baldur's Gate 3 in the future? The game has the funny.
Dodging is ass, “Perfect Parry” is key; you don’t take damage.
There’s your key to success. Hell, I’ll give you ANOTHER ONE (“WE THE BEST!”).
Dodge after your attacks when the parry frames are done. It’ll save you from being bashed. If not, you can always attempt a second perfect parry. Keep your stamina bar in check tho.
