- The combo system I feel is wasted since while you're busy comboing an enemy it'll ignore the fact it is being hit after about 2-3 hits and just attack you, making any long combo pretty worthless.  Game ends up square, square, dodge, square, square, dodge, square, square, dodge, square, square, dodge etc etc.  Air combos the exception but many enemies cannot be lifted for an air combo.

I apologize if it seems like I'm harping on you about this, but this is for the benefits of everyone else, too. Here are some numbers on this point:

The first two hits in your combo do 25 and 35 damage, for a total of 60.

Subsequent hits do 40, 45, and then 60, bringing your total up to a respectable 205. You triple your damage with those few extra hits.

Your counter ability does 45, 60, 70, and 70. That's 255 damage just for countering, and the counter takes about as much time as the two-hit you've been doing the whole time.

This is just one example of how you can be a lot more efficient by figuring out how to lengthen your combos.


I know the intended benefit of long combos, but I think is is wasted in actual execution a majority of the time on hardest especially when you start doing one the enemy will do a unblockable/uncounterable attack, the only option you have is to dodge it, breaking the combo.  Stuns do not last an entire combo and are ended with the first hit, it even says so in the description.

 

It also makes no sense the guard breaker moves are the final hit of heavy combos since the enemies do the unblockable even more if you bash on them while blocking.  From my hardest run experience doing a bunch of short combos folowed by a dodge and another short combo and repeating takes you through the game a lot faster than trying to long combo and needing abandone it 80% of the time since you open yourself up for attack too much and only 2 hits from many enemies can kill.

 

Anyway, I got the plat since first posting in this thread and I think I have no reason to ever play this game again.  There just isn't anything to do.  Two playthroughs it took only and a repeat of only 3 additional levels for trials.

So no DLC for you then?
