Sixty nine percent win rate but ranked ninety fifth still puzzles me a little, since most games sitting near it in ELO don't carry numbers this lopsided in duels. It probably says more about who bothers to vote it in than about the game itself. Doesn't mean the placement is wrong, just that the stat alone explains less than people assume.

It's an incredible achievement mechanically, but calling it fun the whole way through would be a stretch for me.

Sixteenth still feels generous to me for something this narrow in scope.

Sixteenth place, seven hundred and some duels, sixty nine percent wins, we've had this conversation a dozen times already and nothing changes. It deserves to be higher, I still think that, but I'm tired of repeating it every time someone bumps the thread.

Ce classement n'a jamais eu de sens pour moi, comment un jeu avec un tel ratio de victoires reste seulement seizième ?

I went through something similar around the same time, minus the breakup, just a rough stretch at work that made the evenings feel long, and this was the only thing that held my attention through it.

That's exactly what it did for me too, minus the rough stretch, I just fell in love with dodging everything perfectly and never wanted it to end!

ok so, 69% win rate in duels and it still sits at 16th, something's off there... this game rewired how I think about combat in general, the parry timing alone deserves more respect than it gets

dominique_rolland

Ça m'a occupé un automne entier aussi, mais est ce que ce fameux ratio de victoires reflète vraiment autre chose que la ferveur des fans qui reviennent voter dessus ?

I hear you on the parry timing but honestly I bounced off it three separate times, the rewiring never happened for me, it just stayed frustrating from start to finish

parries feel instant once your timing clicks in, no lag at all
tiara_schowalter

The parrying system asks a lot from you before it gives anything back. Once it clicks it's genuinely great, but that wall at the start turns a lot of people away for good.

Ese muro inicial es real, muy real, y a mí me dejó fuera del todo antes de darme nada a cambio.

Yo lo dejé a medio camino ese invierno, y no pienso volver.

combat's brilliant, the story mode never grabbed me the same way

Un ratio de victoires en duel ne mesure pas la qualité, juste la ferveur de ceux qui votent encore pour lui.

QuestLegend2

the story mode is barely there though

"grabbed me" ha, it grabbed my controller across the room a few times

Max_1984

Yeah I'll admit it upfront, I vote for it in basically every duel it gets, biased as I am, and I don't plan on stopping.

À côté des autres jeux du genre de la même période, celui là demande un engagement que peu osent proposer.

Compared to something like Breath of the Wild, the commitment asked here is a completely different kind of demanding, and that alone explains a lot of the split opinions.

40 horas metidas y sigo sin decidir si es genial o solo agotador. El combate es una maravilla. El resto del juego se olvida rápido y eso me molesta.
ComboLegend

Perso je place ce jeu juste en dessous du sublime, mais franchement PARFAIT ça n'existe pas.
RogueNinja62

Je devais être au chômage cette période là, j'y ai passé mes journées entières sans même m'en rendre compte. Le combat contre le général m'a occupé une semaine complète et je me souviens surtout de la fatigue, pas de la fierté d'avoir réussi.
NeonKnight12

j'y ai joué juste après une rupture, ça m'a bizarrement fait du bien

GhostByte2

Une rupture c'est douloureux, un jeu qui punit chaque erreur pendant des heures aussi, drôle de coïncidence quand même.
TurboBard

j'ai pleuré sur le combat final, vrai de vrai
LuckyMaster

Lo jugué durante un verano entero, encerrado en casa por el calor y sin nada mejor que hacer Perdí la cuenta de las veces que morí contra el mismo jefe Aun así seguí, no sé bien por qué

Faivre4

Deux mois entiers sur le même jeu, ça montre bien qu'il tient largement la distance sur la durée
