Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible
FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 days agoIt’s difficult, but good. I’d advise trying to play with the default settings for a bit - you need to engage with the parry mechanic to have a chance, but if you don’t, you lose out on lots of fun. But if you can’t make it work, lowering the difficulty is definitely a good option!

Oh yeah reflex is a huge skill gate. I could basically never land a parry in Demon’s Souls, so hopefully there are some nice settings to dial that in.

I haven’t played Demon Souls, but the timing feels more forgiving than it does in Elden Ring. Interestingly, Sekiro feels even more forgiving.

I don’t think Sekiro is more forgiving necessarily, but it’s a very tight and precise game so it’s easier to catch onto the timing and feels satisfying to do, never like “I should have been able to hit that, my gun didn’t shoot :(“

That might be it. I felt like I was able to parry much more frequently in Sekiro, but probably just because the attacks are much easier to read.
Parrying in Elden Ring feels much harder than both Sekiro & Lies of P to me.

In this one you can get away with blocking too. You take some damage but you have a short time to regain health by attacking right after. I think it makes it a little more forgiving when you are learbing enemy moves and fine tuning your reaction.
