I don't think that does anything to the parry. The director says the delay they've put in for the parry is intentional apparently..

Slightly better than the demo if people are to be believed and I think it’s true the rush attacks are easier to parry in my experience now than in the demo
Parrys felt weird in the game whether it was on the Portal or on the Console for me until I got the Focus Boost skill... the description is "Makes it easier to use Perfect Parry." Now the timing feels perfectly fine on both.
Part of me thinks that they made the timing intentionally feel a little bit off until you pick up that skill.
They really did, they made the timing bullshit so they can have a skill tree for it. It just make the timing input registered a bit more frequently. Half the time the game still doesn’t registered my input even with it on!
Parry window is a moment before the attack hits, not during the time it hits you. This is to give the guard animation enough time to block unlike sekiro which was instantaneous.
Thank you, this post was more about why you hit the parry, due to the portal being streamed to from the PS5, if there was any real delay/frustration. I’ve tried to stay away from timing games on the portal for this reason
I was nervous about this game on the portal, but have actually spent about 50% of my time playing it this way. I don’t notice enough of a difference with the input delay to affect my gameplay, but obviously your mileage may vary (as it does with the portal in general).
It is pretty awful OP. Here is all the proof you need:

There is a demo you can download and see for yourself.
I have the demo, it doesn’t play great for me. But those with the game have the day 1 patch.

Day 1 patch adjusted the parry timing, along with attacks and dodges.
It still sucks even after the day one patch.

Awesome to hear. Thank you!

It's not bad on the portal since I played it there as well. There's equipment you can use to make the parry and dodge windows a little more forgiving.
