Still struggling with the parry system, I'm not typically great at split second timing but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it by gauging it on the audio queues.
I don't generally play soulslikes, but this feels like the complaints I heard about Lies of P; big, slow windups followed by ridiculously fast attacks where the contrast makes them very hard to judge.
I don't mind that the system exists, but I wish it was a little more forgiving. I ended up putting it on easy because I just don't have the time, patience or reflexes to git gud at something like this.
Yeah I was debating just putting it on story mode because it is kinda silly how small the window is when you can get 1 shot by the first boss.
I'm not that far in, but story mode is kinda too easy. Like, standard enemies doing single digit damage easy. I guess that's okay though since I still can't hit the dodge window reliably.
Theres a mod out that makes the parry timings easier for all difficulties

That was fast. Unlike my reflexes.
Good stuff though, I feel like I wouldn't mind meatier hits if they were easier to dodge. I'll give this a try when I get home from work.
