Why does it feel like my parry and block controller input is often ignored?

I’ve played the Dark Souls/Elden Ring games on consoles for at least a decade. I rarely, if ever get the feeling my dodge or parry input is ignored in those games.

I have also played Space Marine 1 Exterminatus since the game dropped on Xbox 360 and also played it on Xbox One. Again, I have no issues with feeling like my controller dodge/parry or Jump Pack activation input being ignored.

In Space Marine 2 however about 33% of the time I’ll tap a dodge/parry and nothing happens. When this starts happening, I then go so far as to try and parry/dodge too early, WELL AHEAD of time, and instead of parrying too early, again, NOTHING HAPPENS. My character just stands there and eats the incoming attack.

Is this just a console thing? Is it a server thing g? Is this just an Xbox thing? WTAF is happening?
