Counter/Block controls unresponsive??
- Nov 5, 2012 10:10 am GMT
ok i so i own both AC3 and AC3:L and something im struggling wiht in the Vita version is the un-responsiveness of the counter controll.
in AC3 when an enemy is about to strike and/or has that red triangle above their head symboling they are about to attack, you press circle , and you will block and it goes into slow mo for a second soo you can chose what kind of counter you want to purport.
in AC3:Liberation, i try doing the same thing, but the counter never seem to happen, and i allways get hit. the onyl way to block ive found is to just hold down the circle button....
soo im just wondering if this is normal??? is there any way to counter properly??? and if soo, how would i go about doing so??- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

This body holding me, reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment, remember- we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion.

P.S. I just got my Xbox 360 back from repair last week (have been on vacation), and I don't know what they did but my DVD-ROM drive is now as quiet as my Wii, which means its half as loud as my PS3. Awesome!

I have the same issue, which is a shame because its the biggest flaw I'm finding with the game so far. Sometimes it works and I don't know why. Other times it just parries the attack and that's only when I stand still and repeatedly tap the Circle button, but more often than not it just doesn't do anything and I find myself taking the brunt of most attacks. It's a problem that Ubisoft need's to fix and I wish they would have just stuck with ACII's combat for this game because it was a system they learned to perfect and would have been easier to duplicate onto Vita instead of a new unreliable system we won't see fixed till the next game in the ACIII series

Black and white!? Slow mo?! I don't experience any of that! Wtf is wrong with my version of the game? I'm having the same issues as the OP.

Worked for my friend, i haven't tried it yet, cuz right now I'm busy. I will try tonight, but i cant promise anything. I'll answer if it worked, Cya
