No spoilers but I had a moment in this game today.

I said something I shouldn't have. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Then that little nugget snowballed into a bigger thing, and then it grew to a really big thing until that one slip of the tongue had cornered me into making 1 of 2 choices, and both were shit. I witnessed some pretty terrible stuff as a result of my carelessness.

I've NEVER had a game like this do anything like this before that I can recall.

Ho boy i did a choice today and hopefully you are not talking about that one

How many hours have you played?
I played 48.5 hours and the flaws really became evident around the time I finished the first part of the game and into the second. I've barely been playing it lately now.

Little over 30 so far

Man I just unlocked Master Strike and is a game changer. I am loving the combat now so much. What a masterpiece of a game!

It's great and a very fun risk-reward mechanic. Just wait until the enemies are able to use it papi, you'll feel the heat.

What is that last photo of? Where is that? Were you able to explore that on your own or was it some guided tour? I would of loved that then and now, being big into history. Most I got to explore were closed down Insane Asylums, abandoned pocono mountain resort, old hotels, homes and factories. A castle would of been the jackpot.

It's Borgholm Castle, Öland Sweden. It burned 1806. There is this one cool wall inside which has grafitti from the 16-hundreds I believe. Young noblemen have scribed their names into the lime plaster.

When I was young (90ies) it was wide open, but I think it is more blocked off these days. I haven't visited in many years.

Yeah. Took your guys advice. Watched YouTube videos.
Spent 2.5 hours on Bernard. Learned master strikes.

I still don't fucking get it lol. I practiced with him, and he just keeps destroying me. He just dodges, or ripostes, or when I try to perfect parry the window to get it is so tight that 80% of the time I miss it.

Like he'll have the sword above his head. And I think "ok, I'll hit him from the bottom." Nope, just brings the sword down on me.

I couldn't even do these master strikes he taught me. I was ok in the tutorial. Then when I went to practice with him, poof. Nothing was working.

Anyways, deleted the game. Gave it my best shot. Thanks for the advice guys.

Thats fine, but you should have just moved on after you learned "master strikes". There was no need to try to destroy Bernard. He is part of the later story.

Finally got some plates, so I don't immediately die at least. My strength has built up so fighting is getting a bit easier.

Sometimes the rain effects look hilariously bad, the thunder is nice.

rain/lightning causes a lot of graphical glitches (flashes) on base ps5 Perf mode.

Just reached the second area after 56 hours and it looks like 1.5 times bigger than the first... my god this game. The story is awesome so far
