He is so Chalam-ish that Chalamet should sue for copying his likeness imo.

Early game weapon mix feels like old school rpg with wooden stick+2. But main thing is to use a handle and stick to a specific scaling, ie str/motivity. Then there needs to be some point in end and capacity because you become overweight very suddenly early into the game.
Used the greatsword blade with the baton handle early because it gives 3 hit frontal slash. Some wide slashing handles looks quick but can kill you in tight spaces because it bounces off the wall,wtf.

Not far at all, but the wall bouncing is much more of a PITA in this than the From games.

The main character = Pinocchio? Given the title I thought P would be the villain. Shows how little I know.
I see the Chalamet-ness now. He should join the Miyazaki-Levine class action lawsuit. The Tolkien Estate and Harlan Ellison Estate will probably also get in on it for some reason.
Vagrant Story was such a cool game with such a bizarre and un-fun combat system. The story and dialogue and world were all really top-notch for the era. Going around an old French city with various dungeons was a great time until you had to fight anything major. The original Dark Souls kind of captured a lot of the same setting vibes as VS so that's cool.
Probably picking this up today. Dammit.

Yeah the mini bosses and bosses all use extremely variable timed attacks where some will float around spinning for 5 minutes and then strike instantly, and with the tiny perfect parry window that can be pretty annoying. I definitely enjoyed Sekiro's system more, where enemies did less bullshit buildup before striking and it was more rhythmic. Still enjoying the game though.
Using a strength build and relying on parrying this go round, will probably try a skill build next and do more dodging.

So how tough is this game? Sekiro tough? Nioh tough? Elden Ring not-tough?
Want to play it, but just got off the SL1 Dark Souls run and really not up for a blistering challenge. A moderate one, sure.

Alot of small boss, mini boss, big boss, two phase boss but the world is pretty linear from what I see. Def a challenge but satisfying to progress and many body and weapon parts to cater to your style.

then what is a perfect parry? I got the achievement for it and I assumed it was just timing your parry right before a hit.
mostly i've been a dodge roll bitch in this game but thats worked miserably against bosses

You can still pp either way but if you hold block first, at least if you don't pp then you will block and cut out some dmg.

I've seen reviews say that dodge rolls aren't great in this and that parrying is way more effective. Which is kinda rough for me because I'm a dodge roll enthusiast and have never really gotten into parry fundamentals (still haven't done Sekiro).

Dodge iframes are a lot less forgiving than Dark Souls for sure. Found sprinting in and out to bait attacks to be more effective
