Patch 1.5 has ruined this combat on PS4

Guys, you really need to have the option to use 2 difficulties or something. This game is unplayable. My guy will not block or parry. I tried fighting for 4 hours and I couldn’t block or parry even once.

Please give us the option to revert back to the old combat system. This is ridiculous. What is the point of spending 67 hours on this game levelling up if I can’t even defend myself?

Guys, please fix this so I can play it again. It was fine the way it was, give us the option to use 2 difficulty levels.

post 1.5 blocking/counters have seemed less effective. thought it was because i was getting rusty (hadn’t played much in over a week)

I think they ramped up the Ai fighting due to the Henry becoming all powerful too fast and then people being bored. I was caving whole camps of bandits skulls in without a scratch or the need for any tactics. Which was a shame as early on I needed to take out the leader while he slept or something sneaky like poison their food.

Maybe you have a point with them blocking too well all the time. I was playing the other day and got a few counters in, they were less inclined to let me pick them off one by one and crowded me more.

I don’t know how it is under the hood, maybe a few tweaks to the different level of foes individually. So they don’t all block like a boss.

I like the reaction improvement to archery. They’d stand there looking at you load up an arrow aiming at Thier face and do nothing.

So did I, but after 4 hours I checked the patch online and it made more sense.

I was all “WHY CAN’T I PARRY?”

Patch 1.3.

Lol

You talk about Patch 1.5, not 1.3 don´t you?

Probably. I have to go on the road for work lots, and I hadn’t played the game in almost 2 months. I looked up if the combat had been changed and there were a lot of complaints about 1.3 and Combat.
So sure, whatever the newest patch is, that’s what I’m talking about. I don’t have time to keep up with each patch and when it came out.
I actually chose to restart again this time as stealthy as possible to avoid the broken combat and I’m having a lot more fun. Sad that my other build is broken.
Hey warhorse, don’t put out a patch that ruins the stealth playthrough and for god sake, change the lockpicking for consoles and make it easier like on PC.

you didn’t have time to read the patch number on the title screen before posting? ok brah…

Man some of you gamers are petty. No, I didn’t look at it. I don’t spend my life gaming and consuming all things game. I have a life, but thanks for your snide comment, random gamer. A gamer with a snide comment, how original.

If you take a look at his/her other posts and replies you can see he/she is somewhat “special”…I wouldn’t bother.
And I see it like you, after the patch it got pretty difficult, also on PC.

I wouldn’t say its special to know which patch you’re on if you’re making posts to the devs about a problem you’re having. It’s common sense.

#12

Thanks for the comment. I hadn’t played in a while, around a month and a half, and actually thought maybe I’m rusty or I suck or something. So the next day, after hours of grinding, I went online to check and most of the posts were about 1.3 so I wrote that. Honest mistake, but I really will never get these petty types. If I don’t have anything of value to add, I scroll on but some people just have no impulse control and simply must get their snarky 2 groshen in.

Can you rename this topic? I’m new to the forum and have no clue about it.

I got roughly through the main story the first time and started a new one and tried to level up as much as I could and finally was able to beat some bandits, after the patch I can only dream of those moments. It’s like someone changes the rules halfway through.
But what can you do? :confused:

I made a topic on that new difficulty level after the patch, and got the response “yeah awesome” from Kirksty and after a few minutes that fella created also a topic that said somewhat like “I have high stats but suck at combat”.
In other topics he/ she looks like a white knight and tries to shut down anyone who wants to adress critique and/ or bugs, so honestly I just ignore that fella.

Let me address that. I said its awesome because the game keeps up a challenge. But I might just be bad at combat so I created a topic. Nothing wrong with critique of the game as long as person can get the detail clear as otherwise it wastes time. There’s so many patches and getting the number wrong is going to confuse the shit out of people as it did here.

#15

imo, if someone has no chance to begin with, it’s not a challange.

Not everybody is top notch with everything, but nonetheless they should have the opportunity to express themselves, no?
You understood pretty well which patch he meant, don’t you think others could be that “clever” too?

#16

Done. I changed the heading. I had no idea I could. Awesome.

No. He said 1.3. And the community manager even had to ask him. Are you saying the community manager wasn’t smart then? Not too bright of you.

Anyway, its all sorted now and you’re trying to drag this along for drama. So stop.

#18

Ignore. No point in engaging someone who is here to be rude.

Sure, hopefully this topic goes somewhere.

I’ve stated already but the point bears repeating. It would be cool if they allowed us to choose a difficulty. Normal or hard. I have to tell you, that night of grinding and being unable to parry or block made me pretty much want to give up as I’d be dead in 3 hits, fully armoured. I just kept getting maced in the face.

I get that some may want it more challenging, but at least do away with the 4 or 5 on 1’s.

This stealth playthrough I’ve started is much more satisfying. I get that us using consoles are back of the bus compared to PC, but the lock picking is insanely hard. INSANELY.
