There is not NEARLY enough feedback with the blocking system. It feels clunky and its unlike any other system in any game I have ever played.
I have had to resort to only using the spear chick just because I can hit and get out quickly. I don't even BOTHER blocking.
And whats REALLY sad?
Is that despite my inability to use a core function of the game I am able to cheese my way through duel after duel because the ability to hit and run is better than most peoples ability to function with this joke of a blocking mechanic.
Fix it.
Meh, bad post. Sounds like someone just needs more practice. The blocking is absolutely incredible, nailing a parry along with a deflect and following up with an awesome combo is such a great feeling. If your having trouble blocking then its on your end bud.
Do you play with mouse and keyboard or with controller?Originally Posted by PaUZZze Go to original post
sounds like you either need A) practice or B) to use a controller if your using a mouse. im a conquerer and blocking is my bread and butter (i only use the omni stance when outnumbered and im playing for time )
while i cannot agree that the blocking system seems counter-intuitive, i can agree that relative to that poke bleed poke bleed cheese, it does make the need to block obsolete
all the pokes come from top stance, they are preety easy to block. now getting close with a slow character is another thing. but the stabs them selves are not hard to block.Originally Posted by electricsheep84 Go to original post
Fortunately a controller. If OP is on PC you can disregard my comment cause I can only imagine how awkward that is.
naw, you can do side pokes that instantly bleed too. and even if i do the non-guard, overhead poke to bleed, if i see them blocking it i'll just go up and guard break them then kick combo and chunk em for ~60%Originally Posted by Hollow-Avlaen Go to original post
you have to get in range to guard break me and i can flail you round the face :P
Don't take this as me jumping down your throat because you're both completely right and only trying to help, but good God man. If the only way to play a PC game is with a console controller, the game is awful. It's literally that simple. Imagine if you bought any other fighting game on, let's just say the Xbox, discovered that your controller was worthless and you needed to run out and buy a $60 fight stick. Is it still as simple as "just go use the other thing"?Originally Posted by Hollow-Avlaen Go to original post
Nobody should buy For Honor on PC unless they completely redo the controls to be halfway functional with M+KB. We get a lot of half-assed console ports but this just takes the cake.
