>>14730682well, there's that and some of the bosses also do attacks with no real lead-up that can be impossible to dodge from certain positions
like if you fight the tree knight at the start of the game which i did because i didnt know there was a horse and you stand in front of him or on the front of his right side (your left) sometimes he does this little shoulder check and if you're too close it's impossible to react to
it's fine since you can just not stand there but apparently this was not limited to this boss
i think what happened is as people became used to the games, they became easier and from felt the need to up the difficulty in a way that detracts from the gameplay
to counter-balance that they also implemented a variety of ways to cheese the bosses
i dunno, the game feels like it was just done to check off certain marketing things
open world rpgs are cool you gotta make that and your games are hard oh and horses !!! and probably other stuff but like i said i didnt think it was very good and it ran poorly on my machine so i just dropped it and decided to play a game i know is good
