I'm using the PC and I'm fed up with this thing: it appears that the game wants you to do a specific set of actions in order to kill the guy. because I'm seeing the game give me false signals. If I shoot without ducking a blow, and then strike him, the game prompts me to hit "F" again to strike him again. However, the game will ignore my attempts and allow him to grab me by the throat. So I managed to shoot, duck and strike, and then strike again, but the third strike is denied me because I didn't do the expected sequence. So now it's only about figuring out the proper keystrokes and timing. Which -to me- takes away from the game because we should have alternative moves to kill the guy. Like I said, I'm frustrated because it's more than two days and I can't get past this part and it's not fun anymore. So at this point game over for me, cause that video doesn't help. What's needed is the exact (PC) key sequence required in order to get past this programming glitch. I'm truly exhausted and bored of the same sequence over and over and over. Geesh, just read the above conversation of someone who appears just like me. Heck, I'm 56, ten years younger than the person above. Well if harby can do it, maybe I can too. Got it !!! I was confused by that exclamation point and shrinking circle. I WAS pressing melee too soon. It made it appear that the giant was responding earlier before I could react. Until I read the thing about the circle, I was pressing melee as soon as I saw the exclamation point. I sill consider it a bad programming decision, because if it wasn't for this forum I would have deleted the game out of frustration.
