I have been stabbed from the front multiple times when I hit counter-attack, and I feel like I’m missing something. If you lunge at someone from the front, can you hold down the melee button to make it harder to counter or something? I would like a chance to counter the counter, maybe have to hit a randomly chosen button and the window gets smaller and smaller, like a game of bop-it but it’s knife fighting.
I can’t tell if you’re serious…well I guess it’s back to button mashing instead of pushing it halfway into the controller frame.
They turn around AFTER you’ve initiated the knife animation?
I wish it was like in god of war a 4 or 5 step animation and button sequence that you must get right or the other guy wins it. wile you both fight you are bullet prof as well so it cant be interrupted.
Ah. Us old DOOM jockeys use the arrow keys. It’s like learning to type on a DVORAK keyboard, and then moving to a QWERTY world: can’t reprogram the muscles.
The advent of MMOs broke me from the arrow keys… But the old games (Doom, Wolf, Hexen, Heretic, etc.) still get that arrow treatment.
