Discussion Asmon's influence failed this time.

I wonder why the game's not popular, it looks decent, and it's not 60-70 bucks either.

It was almost like we watched a different game or something

From what he’s saying it was an absolutely a great game, but from what i saw on his stream it looked mid af (at best)

but that’s ok, just different taste in games

The killer is the parry window and mechanics. You can't just tap parry like every other game. You have to hold it the entire time .5 seconds before the parry to the point that it basically feels like you're blocking.

Unless you are within a nanosecond of the timing, just tapping parry will not parry. You must hold the parry button, which feels very clunky and makes you unlearn all past normalized parry mechanics in other games.

Like I said, if you tap it PERFECTLY on the attack it works. Which is not how other souls games work. You should get a window. There is no traditional "tap" window in Valor Mortis UNLESS you hold the parry button and treat it like a block during the parry window.

You don't have a golden copy of the game. Just google what I said. Even the developers acknowledged it.

i was just looking for clarification on what you meant... i realize now that the "???" comes off a bit rude... maybe just something i adapted to and never noticed.
