I picked up Sekiro because I heard its combat is similar to Fallen Order, and in the half hour or so that I've played so far, it is, and I like it.
But one thing I don't like? Using R1 for sword attacks. It just doesn't feel right.
I know there are lots of good games that map primary actions to the shoulder buttons, like MGS4 and God of War, and I can even understand the reasoning for it--so you can free up your thumb to control the camera--but it's just not for me. I switched God of War to classic controls immediately, and the game felt soooo much better.
So my answer to my own question is no, I don't like this control scheme. Do you? If so, did you previously prefer using the face buttons and then come around to this?
As an aside, I'm perfectly content to use the shoulder buttons to fire guns and projectiles and stuff. But for melee, I strongly prefer the face buttons.
