It's more to do with how bosses take less damage from heat actions compared to generic goons. Heat actions are generally busted in 4 but that sidequest boss he was fighting wasnt taking as much damage because hes technically a boss fight

[@mikebliss3153]

It's because for some reason the QTE button is circle, not square.

[@qwertyMrJINX]

It's the framerate. The game's meant to run at 30 fps, but they upped it to 60, and didn't bother fixing all the things that broke from this.

[@Gaff.]

@@qwertyMrJINX Yeah, it broke basically the entire game. Fishing was legitimately not possible until they patched it, and plenty of other things remain completely broken, especially the combat. Quicksteps are completely useless because of it, picking up enemies from behind is no longer reliable, and the enemy AI has no idea what to do with itself in general so it just blocks or dodges interminably.

[@Lethargy514]

@@Gaff. Reminds me of how the physics go apeshit in Kiwami 2 if you up the framerate.

[@Gaff.]

@@Lethargy514 Yeah, there's supposed to be a delta time you tie the logic to, instead of assuming a frame rate, but that's a newer development and a lot of these studios haven't come round to it yet. My guess is it's down to Japanese developers prioritising consoles and treating PC like an afterthought, but as consoles start allowing variable and higher frame rates, I'm guessing this will sort itself out. For the most part, I accept the trade-off, because I generally enjoy Japanese games more, but sometimes these rushed ports/remasters can have major issues. Case in point, people think Yakuza 3 (and 4 on Legend) actually played this weird on release.

[@scarymeunster9095]

There’s different versions, actually. It’s super hard to notice in active combat, but if you watch the full version of the Heat Action in different iterations, there’s a different number of punches in the different games too. The older ones had 10 (five QTEs) while the newer ones seem to stick to 8 (4 QTEs). As far as I can tell, it was changed after 5 because of how atrociously long some Heat Actions had gotten to the point they get more disruptive than helpful (Akiyama specifically).
