TopicI tried to like Wo Long. I really did. But parrying made me say "no"

I love Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the history attached to it, so I was absolutely stoked to play the demo...and I was glad I did instead of buying the full game. The first boss being defeatable only by parrying brought back to me Sekiro PTSD and I just could not do it. I've been told that the first boss is really hard for a first boss and that parrying isn't required for every boss/enemy, but that's not what the demo showcased to me. Why would you make such a difficult boss the first boss if you're trying to get more people to buy your game? Poor design choice.

Nothing frustrates me into controller-breaking rage more than parrying mechanics. Want me to forsake your game forever? Make it required for progression instead of just a cool counter ability you can use on your own time. Otherwise, I just won't even bother, even if it's from a setting I love.
