I love difficult games, I've spent 8 hour stretches on the same bosses for some platinums and still not succeeded but this game almost broke me and I'm not even talking game wise, it made me loose my cool in ways I havn't since I was a teenager. Actual pain. No hyperbole. Utter pain because of the difficulty level. |
I have to say that I didn't find my playthrough nearly as frustrating as you found yours. But then again, I'm one of those completionist bastards that scours the map for every single goodie. I'm sure that made me overleveled by the time I finally started fighting the late game bosses. Also, some of those techniques that use up Spirit Emblems are super OP. As are the ultra late game prothetic attachments. They both make fights way easier.
Finally, I realized while playing that an orange spark upon a deflection, and a yellow spark meant different things. I think it was that an orange spark upon a deflection meant the enemy was going to deflect your next hit (so you had better stop attacking, and block), or that it meant that the enemy would be open to a counter attack if you swung your sword asap. I forget, but if I played the game, I'd recognize it real quick. Anyway it's a huge help in dealing with bosses, because if they counter your block you lose a lot of posture, and then take damage while being stunlocked.
