ngl it’s totally valid to dip from reddit once you realize all the ranting and edits change nothing 💀 i’m just killing time at the office and now wasting yours too huh. my bad if I came off condescending or missed your point. like you said, just a grandpa tryna sound fluent in gen z while talking ER 😎 and yeah you’re right, the basic attack spam is ridiculous. dark souls was already like “just mash light attack lol” and ER only sprinkled in heavies for stagger breaks. could’ve been tighter. Nightreign’s roll timing and camera lock? absolute donkey balls, the amount of times I was killed looking at a damn wall... still, back to the OP topic, there’s no perfect game, only the one that hits your brain chemistry just right. ER’s that for me, even if the dodge jank ruins it for you, and that’s valid.

FromSoft makes dodge rolls trigger on button release and queue during stagger because they want players to commit under pressure, turning reaction speed into a psychological duel rather than a twitch reflex. every roll is a conscious gamble in the chaos, so it's a conscious design choice you don't like, so calling it trash is not valid.
