I understand not having weird over the top nonsense and flips all over the place but every now and again I get the feeling that From isn't very creative with their movesets.
Take spears for instance, you could twirl it, slash, stab, charge, use it as a staff. But no, all you get is poke and occasionally a harder poke.

Did you completely skip DS3 or something?
>>375930387
less is more

Dear anon, please test the fucking weapon before spouting bullshit.

What I'm saying is that a spear is good for more than fucking poking 90%. All that in one moveset is the right way to go. Just fucking reuse the twinblade moveset

I think DS3 is the best game in the series, but goddamn how it annoys me.

For you maybe.

Ds2 santiers spear

>Flips all over the place
>Swings his spear, a fucking thrusting weapon
What the fuck? Why is he trying to slash with a piercing weapon? And why the fuck isn't he using his massively superior range to his advantage?
One of the worst fight scenes I've ever seen involving a spear.

No, they ARE unpredictable by design. Sometimes enemies stop a combo and do something else. Previous games didn't do this, if a enemy started a combo it would finish it, it wouldn't stop midcombo and do a normal attack.

You can literaly do all those things with spears in every souls game.

That can be predicted too and you have all the tools you need to evade.
Orphan of Kos cancels animations all the time in his first phase and I never had issues with it.
