Hey /v/, in need of some advice. Been trying to get into mgr revengeance, but I'm god awful at it. Can't party to save my life and cannot understand combos. I'm also shit at fighting games. Does anyone else have a similar problem?

Op hear, meant to say parry.

>mash attack to kill things, wait for qtes

Practice you scrub. You can't just expect to be good at something.
>>
Just spam buttons its basically cookie clicker for autistic kids similar to DMC and Bayonetta

Videogames are for nerds.

Literally all of these are false.

You have a combo list in the help menu. Take note of those.

You parry by hitting the control stick in a direction and pressing attack at the same time.

Pretend it's a jump attack in Dark Souls but with Square instead of R2.

You have a huge parry window so just keep practicing that.

All you can do is keep playing and get good at that point.

MGR is kinda an awful entry into the genre

it gets a lot of fundamental plainly wrong (camera, lock on even fucking movement is fundamentally broken) and it (tries to) teach you skills that have no application in other games (blade mode QTE cutting, constant baiting of enemies instead of actually controlling the battlefield)

play DMC3/4, Bayonetta 1/2 even Ninja Gaiden over it

Please stop the shitposting

>combos

don't worry about that move list. seriously, it's not worth it

when you get an opportunity to wail on a dude, just press the attack buttons however you want

buy offensive defensive and learn the timings for that and your parry and you should be good

What did he mean by this?

>>344511385
Camera is fine. Lock on is pointless on anything that isn't a boss.

And having unique game mechanics like cutting enemies is bad now?

Also Revengeance is miles easier than any of those other games.

Raiden is a weaboo piece of shit and probably introduced himself as "The Lightning Bolt" and thought it was super cool.

No

Also if you were just mashing attack then congratulations on sucking the fun out of the game on purpose.

I thought so too. But then Sam's VR4 happened.

>>344513869
I still enjoyed it if it means anything.
>>
>>344514887
I suppose that's fine then.

>>344514671
Well those are optional, so...

of course it's easier -- it's designed to pander to MGS and non-action games fans audience and succeeds at it so hard it is by far the most populay platinum game

However you won't be any better for completing this game, there is a very shallow pool of skills that the game *might* teach if you want to git better and but those will be skills that are only applicable to that game and don't raise your general awareness of the common mechanics of the genre

it's a fun sideshow sure but a bad example to start your journey on
