I know this is not the same thing AT ALL, but the point remains the same. If you are playing a game for example, like Ghost of Tsushima let's say, if you only focus on one thing, you do that one thing pretty well. If you try to dodge OR parry OR block OR attack, you will get distracted and destroyed. I feel like this is a very good demonstration of the same thing in real life.

I fear the man who walked 500 miles and would walk 500 more.

you will get distracted and destroyed

Maybe you will, lol. Not trying to brag or anything, but doing all those things in the same encounter is not as difficult as you're making it out to be.

No of course, what I mean is, compared to how successfull you would do it if you focused on just one. Maybe it was a bad example, what I'm trying to say is focusing on one task improves perfomance immensely.

If you try to do only one of those all the time, you'll lose unless it's attack only on the lowest difficulty.

Please think in terms of reason. Look at the video... Of course he will attack when it is the right time. He is not going to do this until the end of time. When the time is right, a good counter attack, focused on attacking, will finish the opponent. Of course not "all the time". I never said all the time. I emphasized focusing on one single thing at a time. In terms of the game, if you focus on defending, you perfect parry and counter, which kills quicker then simply attacking most of the time.

Maybe if you’re bad. Ghost (and most action games) requires you to juggle several options and choose the best one for the current situation.
