Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage
AlexanderTheDead@lemmy.world 1 day ago…dawg, I think you’re just dogshit at the game. are these issues you had on the lowest difficulty? Because if so, then no, at no point did you ever “get good”, I promise.

I beat the game on normal difficulty. Believe it or not, you can be good a thing and still dislike it. And I like the game, for the record, but my criticisms of how much weight they give to certain parts of the combat, which changed somewhere around the back half of act 2, mind you, hampered my desire to do more of it in act 3.

Your problem boils down to:
“I was forced to use the parry button to progress in the game.”
If this became an issue for you, then you probably should have changed the difficulty to be lower.

No, it doesn’t. My problem is that missing a parry, on an animation I haven’t seen before and haven’t been able to learn the tells of yet, which are purposely full of misdirection to make it tricky, was overly punishing during the learning process. Succinctly, it’s that there’s not enough fault tolerance later in the game. The parries feel great. The road up to learning the timings was frustrating the further into the game I went.

Okay. I disagree with your criticism.
Now let’s go back to the beginning. Wow, looks like… that’s not what you said in the beginning.
