I know exactly what you mean. I went back to DS1 after playing DS3 and the movement actually felt less responsive even though the engine is faster because they did something to change when the active frames start. Responsive controls are one of my biggest pet peeves so that aspect of the game is disappointing, especially compared to Nioh and BB.
I much prefer the parrying in DS1 as well. There's no oomph to your parries or backstabs in DS3 and the timing is weird. Now that I think about it, I bet they make Gwyn an absolute nightmare.
They would have to make some major combat changes to Gwyn. He was never hard even without parrying. I've pretty much play all DS games w/o parry/shield entirely relying on iframes rolling and he's definitely an easy one. Also having said that I find it weird the mentions about responsive controls. I felt like DS3 was only second to BB in regard to that but to me it mostly felt like it was game speed difference not that I pushed a command and it happened late or slow.
