This is a game.. not real life, when you click block and it doesn't block, it is infuriating. Im having an easier time just attack block attack block instead of adding feints and whatnot, which is very boring and it shouldn't be like that.
depending on where your weapon is it can take to long to get a block up and you die, if i am doing a right swing and realise their right swing will hit before mine, i left block but the animation takes to long to get their and you die.
