I keep forgetting that shields are supposed to be good again in this game, I'm so used to playing without them (except a buckler for parrying) that I've probably made the game significantly harder on myself. I wonder if I should pick one up- I don't even really understand what guard countering is.
It's just pressing R2 after blocking. It's surprisingly easy to execute but it's also fairly circumstantial, enemies can easily hit you while you're performing your cool counter technique especially with heavy weapons
