Stamina is a dogshit mechanic

Downloaded this filth yesterday, intriguing story and atmosphere but a complete rip off of elden ring/bloodborne combat, plagued by the usual stamina illness of these games
Having to wait for a meter to recharge before attacking is not fun in the slightest, it kills the fun and dynamism of fights and makes it feel like a turn-based combat system played in real time, but I fixed it

Download a trainer and do the following, it will turn Lies of P into an approximation of Sekiro:
- Infinite stamina, remember to dump 15 points into vigor so you don't frick up the levelling and end up too OP
- 20% faster attack speed
- 30% reduction in the damage you deal
- 20% increase in damage received
- 50% critical chance

thank me later alligater

        No, the one that removes the AI "boost" that the devs added last minute. Without it, the enemies are slower and less stupidly aggressive, so stamina is a lot more manageable.

        It's on the nexus, along with an easy mode, but you don't need to add that as well, if you don't want.

          Thanks for the tip, but if anything I want the enemies to be faster and more aggressive, and I want my character to be faster and able to retaliate even quicker

          I like the stamina system because it makes you think about your actions and reduces button mashing. At least when it's implemented properly like on dark souls 1.
          >Games are not fun when I can't button mash
          Lmao

          it's not about button mashing, I don't want to spam R2 and win, I want to use all actions and buttons with fast reaction time, that's what's fun to me in games like these and that's why Sekiro will forever be nr.1 for me

            That would be great. I was thinking about trying to make it more like bloodborne on the second playthrough. This time around, I am gonna play it like DS1/2, a bit more ponderously, less aggression, and less damage dealt on both ends, but I can see the appeal of having a fast-paced tearing through mad puppets run.

            Glad you're having fun

    You're just bad at managing stamina. Nioh still does it best since stamina recovery is an active thing rather than passive but stamina itself isn't a bad mechanic.

      No, just no. Nioh ki pulsing is akin to l canceling in melee. Useless apm spam that makes you feel like you are doing something while you spaz out like an adhd kid on the controller. Stamina management is a dev side issue to perfect the cost and recovery rate. It should not be a fricking apm spasm mechanic. I fricking HATE apm tweakers in rts games. That shit is cancer.

        L canceling adds complexity to the game. If there wasn't a different amount of hitsop for hitting a shield, hitting a character, hitting a perfect shield, and whiffing (through spotdodge or dashing back) you'd have a point. Instead each of those leads to a different timing for L canceling meaning you need to predict what the opponents answer to your attack will be or try to react to it as late as possible.
        Never played nioh, but you probably should've whine about games you've never gotten close to the skill ceiling in. You'll only look foolish.

    I don't like stamina bars either
    when you really think about it, it's just an arbitrary hindrance
    Pick a game that uses stamina, remove the stamina bar, game immediately improves. If someone feels like it makes a game "too easy", then make the game harder to compensate for the lack of the shitty system.

    Any system that passively hinders your ability to move feels fricking awful.

      Stamina exists because there are enemies that are designed in a way that the player has the advantage once an attack connects. Without stamina a player could stunlock loop an enemy to death in a single infinite brainless combo. A stamina system retains that power but limits it so that the enemy actually had a chance to retaliate beyond giving every enemy hyper armor and ignoring the player's attacks thus making the player feel weak. Any perception that stamina is a defensive system restriction is the whining of a shitter. I have played dozens of soulslikes and defensive stamina usage is never an issue even in the most dogshit implementations. It's entirely an offensive balancing mechanic.

              I didn't say anything about it being easier, though. I'm saying that it ought to be balanced for numerous playstyles. You know, like an ARPG?

              Imagine if Dark Souls or Elden Ring was based around a single playstyle. People would lose their fricking minds.

                If we’re being honest, everything after ds2 pretty much was railroaded into just dodging. You couldn’t really be a tanky shield guy anymore like you could in the first 2 games.

                Yeah...that's kinda true. I always "blame" bloodborne for that. People seemed to see that game and say "yes, fast-paced aggression, that's what they want!" without bothering to balance their game properly around it. Lies of P would be a great contender, as it has the "regain" system, but the stamina bar, like OP says, drains so quickly that it's not viable.

                I might try out the changes he makes because that looks like a genuine way to "fix" the game. LOL @ the homosexuals in here that don't know how, so they eat whatever slop they're given

                the problem with shields is you have to heavily invest in them to even come close to being on par with roll iframes, while fast rolling is available to every build from the start of the game by just taking off some armor
                why go out of your way to use an inferior option when the best option is given to you from the start?

                pushing the iframe button has no requirements and is still more stamina efficient. i dont even have to mention the items that let you upgrade your rolls/iframes or scrubhound step because shields will never even approach the current state of the default mid roll

            Your problem is thinking it's a binary of "only parrying" or "only dodging". The intended way to play is parrying, dodging, and just blocking and attacking to regain. If you're intentionally not engaging in all of the game's mechanics, of course it's going to feel bad.

                Parrying isn't the only mechanic in the game, it's not Sekiro. If dodge didn't have a purpose it wouldn't have been included in the game. Claiming it's literally never useful just outs you as a moron who can't comprehend simple game mechanics. most likely a fat American with high blood pressure

Plenty of the weapons, for instance, are functionally useless because they're not as good as ones you already have. In fact, a ton of mechanics are just red herrings, and you fell for it. Dodging is for babbies who don't know how to parry and cry when they don't get to roll like their dark souls games. How does it feel knowing they put a crutch in just for you, thirdie?
