Thats because youre forced into using a heavy weapon for the fight.
For those use the heavy charge instead or do a dodge plus light, the charge counters every single move the other guy makes

Ahhh cheers. I haven't really touched combat abilties, I'm mostly stealth.
I'm having this issue too, even when standing still my R2 attack doesn't work sometime or I can't charge it. When it works, it's usually almost a second after I hit R2.
Use the alternate control scheme.
R2 is an analog trigger so it may be doing something to it.it has different pressure sensitivity so it may be reading your move as a charge depending how early it accepts the input and how far in you press.
Scheme b maps it to triangle.
Dam I loved TW3 and HZD, I will definitely get this game on Xbox one x.
You can actually douse flames on yourself by repeatedly pressing the dodge button.
There are tons of things this game doesn't explain like being able to light arrows with your torch, swinging around in the saddle mid gallop etc.
ThisGamesradar video has some of them.
Man this games attention to detail is insane like Bayek flaying his hands as he gets out the water etc.
Yeah, my horse kept going and the game probably tried to load the current location, but my character already moved away from the loaded spot and it tried loading again and again.
Why o why does every Ubisoft game have this annoying input lag?? Are all games derived from the same core tech?
If you play Horizon after this it's just so apparent how much more responsive the controls are.

Holy F that's some bleak stuff. I'm a bit surprised that something like that found its way into an AC game. Is the entire game on the same dark tones?
I'm only just past the first assassination (the intro, I suppose) and that was some of the most violent stuff I've seen in an AC game. Wouldn't be surprised if it continues.
Had to show this to my mother the other day because she'd been asking a about it, she was blown away by Alexandria.
That being said, so was I. When I saw the scale of the map, I expected the world to be relatively empty but it's so alive and full of side quests and things to find.
Also loved how sometimes after you've done side quests certain people recognise you.

My tip would be: do side quests?
You can't do the main missions without leveling up via side quests because you'll be outranked in no time and you'd be making the game impossibly difficult for yourself.
To a certain extent, yes. This is the first time I encounter a suicide note in the game though. Death by crocodile, that's gotta hurt.
Yeah as SJRB said... I don't think this is doable. It is a shame too because I have friends who would like to play the campaign but not if its going to take 30-60 hours.
As said above, that's gonna be veeery difficult/near impossible. You need the exp to level up, you're getting attack adn health increase with each level up along with being able to upgrade them separately.
Forget missions, even whole zones are leveled off, so you might see yourself wandering into a zone much higher level where a single guard can kill you with one arrow from the distance.
You only have two options. Beard and hair or no beard and hair. Hold in both triggers and press Y or Triangle!
So I haven't really put much effort into a AC since I think....2. Really curious about this one, I love the setting. Thinking it might be time to try another one.
There's some really dark stuff in this game... Like, really... really dark stuff, and not just in written notes that you find. One particular thing that happens during the story actually made me a bit sick to the stomach. This game really wants you to know that times were really bad during Ptolemy's reign :/.
I tried it in combat a couple of times but nothing happened, so I'm not using it at all anymore because I either don't know how it works, or it doesn't work as expected making it an unrealiable mechanic.
Silly as it sounds, this game needs more tutorials.
The Overpower skill changes depending on your weapon type. I believe dual swords triggers the super saiyan mode. It's one of my least favorite overpowers so I usually equip a sword or heavy blade.
That's not true. I have the same issue despite which weapon I use.
I found out that each weapon has a different overpower ability.With my sickle sword, I'm getting the overpowered mode where all my hits are faster for X amount of seconds. With my spear, I'm getting a spear thrust move that deals a couple of thousand of damage.
Can anyone in the damn country walk for themselves? I spend most of time carrying people around like some sort of ancient Uber driver.
It depends on what kind of weapon you are using. For example the straight sword has a charge when you use it, and the curved sword (like from GOT) ups your attacking speed significantly.
Give a few weapons a try you might be surprised... it's super powerful, so I wouldn't sleep on it. I use the straight sword, and have the perks to both start combat with it fully powered, and when I kill someone with it I can tap the light attack to take the weapon from a guy that I just killed with it, and throw it at another guy for a 1 hit kill. Easy 2 for 1 at the start of a fight.
Can you even wander off the higher leveled zones? There seem to be walls surrounding the area and I couldn't pass them.
I guess it'll be opened up later after passing certain story point.
LMAO.
But hey, probably they've been assaulted and put in cages for days they could barely walk.
Sorry, my mistake. It's the sickle that should trigger the gold Overpower mode which gives the screen a golden glow and you move faster. The other weapons should give you a different Overpower... Unless the pre-order weapon is special for some reason?
This world is just amazing. I find myself just casually walking around each new location, soaking in the detail and atmosphere. The sense of time and place is incredibly strong.
The only real blemish is the low fidelity lighting and shadows (PS4 Pro), but considering the spectacle on display, I understand why sacrifices needed to be made somewhere. Wish this aspect wasn't quite so grungy, though.
Around 8 hours in now, and just arrived in Alexandria. Gorgeous. Loving this game.

I just finished the intro (got the first assassination) and the game leaves me with a lot of questions regarding context. Like,why do guards want to kill me when I enter their camp ? I'm supposed to be a medjay, a protector of the people and of the Pharaoh, it doesn't really makes sense to me.
As for the assassination itself, and the cutscenes that followed... Yeah that was some grim shit. But I still don't know or understand a lot regarding WHY everything happened. Guess I'll learn later

Not played an ac game before so looking at this one is it more like an rpg than the others?
If its similar vein to the witcher/horizon then i may pick it up.

I just tried this with the weapons I had at my disposal.
A huge amount of damage in one move.
Regular sword
Spear
Dual sword
Overpowered mode for X seconds
Sickle sword
Heavy blunt

Oh, interesting. I have a few spears lying around, I'll try with each one of them.
Yeah, at the start (I'm guessing you're still doing the first set of quests), you're walled off. But after some story events, you are thrown in the center of the world and can pretty much camel your way anywhere, and yeah .. trust me .. if you accidentally wander into a lv 31 zone, any minor peasant enemy can take you out with a single arrow from horseback or behind a tree and that's that.
Have you tried with other spears? Which spear is it that triggers your overpowered mode instead of one-hit kill move? I tried with three spears in my inventory, one legendary, the others epic, the same result, did one-hit kill with all three.
Put a few hours in over the weekend
Anyone else bought the season pass as of yet, or waiting until the content comes out next year for it?
Hidden content
I purchased the digital gold edition so got the season pass too. And it was because of this post.

Both of the DLC sounds good, and the extra stuff that goes with it was helpful.
