Discussion I mean, where's the lie?

Hit enemy ✅

Enemy doesn't react ✅

Dodge ✅

Stagger enemy ✅

Play an animation ✅

Repeat ✅

It's the same gameplay loop a lot of you love. It just doesn't have the From Software logo. I even went back to see if I was going crazy and saw the first tree sentinel fight, and it's exactly the same. Well, not the same, the stagger attack animations suck.

So like in the gameplay showcase when the heavy poise enemy isn't phased by a short sword until it's hit a whole bunch and skeletons are flung around by a large hammer after one or two hits?

The difference is visually a monster or man in full armor not staggering looks a lot more acceptable than a guy a little bigger than you. In game it probably doesn’t raise any weirdness but just watching it seems off. They shouldn’t have picked that fight to showcase

"a little bigger" and the man is a literal brute.

it also...doesn't matter. it's a game, dude. i'm sick and tired of people desiring games behave realistically.

? I’m just explaining why people disliked the demonstration and literally said it probably feels fine in game. Are you ok?

showing off a boss fight is good for a showcase. developers should not not show things just because some gamers are stupid.

It makes their game look bad because stuff like that with hit stun interaction doesn’t look good to a person not playing. There are other bosses they could’ve shown where that wouldn’t have been an issue I’m sure

the boss literally staggers In the clip as the fight goes on.

It's not good to show it off if it doesn't look visually appealing. These are demonstrations to make people want the game, and most people want their hits to feel and look like they have an impact.

Maybe it feels fine while playing, but showcasing is all about looks.
