Man, I suck ass at this game. No idea how I'm supposed to be playing it. I can't figure out parry timing for the life of me. The three weapons I have all feel like I'm hitting enemies with a wet noodle since there are almost zero hit reactions. I ended up just kind of dodge cheesing the Jagged Blade or whatever boss (with the bleed proc) because I simply couldn't figure out how to do close combat.
I think I'm going to put this on hold for a bit while I reset my expectations. I played Onimusha recently and still haven't quite finished it. Despite all its faults, the combat in it feels a million times better to me than this. Like, at least I know what I am supposed to do and how I am screwing up in that game. In this, I simply have no idea. Honestly probably would have refunded if I hadn't bought it on GMG. Oh well, hopefully when I come back to it later I'll figure out how to enjoy it properly, because it seems like a lot of people are having a blast and I feel like I'm just missing something crucial.
