I wish I could say that after spending the last few weeks going through p5 strikers that I realized sooner that I could adjust the controller sensitivity. I thought I looked for that when I began but I must have overlooked it. So basically I spent an entire playthrough (and was about to start merciless) of a hack and slash action game with my controller sensitivity too low (and I play with elevated thumb grips so I can actually have the sensitivity higher than usual). Other than the horrible performance and how much of a bugbear it was to get that game to work the poor controller sensitivity was my main gripe (the story is amazing and gameplay is actually really fun despite all that)
Also to some random reditor (I don't have an account but the site is useful for finding gameplay tips for various games) who claims to be a musou and dynasty warrior veteran and thought normal mode of strikers was way too hard: dude, I am awful at action games and didn't think this game was that hard. Your comment has hurt my brain
