    OHKOs is Lazy Boss Design

    I will never understand Squeenix and their obsession with throwing an endless barrage of OHKOs at people during boss fights. It's inelegant, exasperating and frankly quite lazy. Can you hire someone to make a boss fight that isn't just endlessly dodging a parade of attacks that throw you off the arena?

    I don't recall buying this game so I could play Soul Calibur.

    Edit: Since people are asking I will make a clarification. Note this is just one of many examples.

    I was doing P7N last night and I have to say this is my least favorite of the new tier because many of the mechanics are difficult to read and failing them results in death. I think I died five times last night, one time when I died I have no idea what killed me, but it lead to one of many "chain death" occurrences. I was hardly the only one having trouble because several people had multiple deaths in that fight. I'm a SCH main and while no one has hit me with "Healers Adjust!" it definitely makes my job more difficult when I'm having to stop DPS and refreshing shields to have rez people, especially when it forces me to hard cast rez because the RDM isn't helping out. (That's for another topic tho.) It's incredibly aggravating to have to deal with this and it makes the game not fun. This is the only one in the Abyssos tier I have trouble with because it's nothing but knockoffs and disappearing platforms which is the kind of BS I expect to see in Savage where one fuck up generally renders the entire fight a failure.

    Edit 2: I like how people keep assuming I wasn't in a situation where the RDM needed to be helping with Rez because a healer was down or there were more than 2 down at once.
