GamerSyndrome: Dark Souls, From Software successful RPG released last year on PS3 and XBox360, is getting a new patch for the release of its first DLC pack Artoria of the Abyss on consoles.
Pc gamers have already been enjoying the extra content since the release of Dark Souls : Prepare to die edition on PC.
"Dark Souls: Archthrones is like playing a brand new FromSoftware game, and that speaks volumes about just how much good modding can do," says Hanzala from eXputer.
Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way. Why?
i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)
I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
TheGamer writes, "Some weapons resist the test of time."
"Some overpowered pieces of equipment like Black Knight Greataxe, Soul Spear, Crystal Soul Spear and Eagle Shield have been nerfed too"
That sucks, the Black Knight Greataxe is my weapon of choice
"This patch isn’t just bad news for the adventures of the Dark Souls world: the number of bonfires, the games checkpoints, have been increased, making it slightly easier to travel around"
Wtf? it was fine the way it was
they nerfed most the stuf to get you out of a jam forcing you to play it there way
last time they nerfed crystal ring shield now it does 250 damage in ng++ thats useless hell its useless in ng+ it was good for dealing daamge to 2 bosses and thats was it
Has the price been announced yet for the DLC?
For those of you wondering, here is a complete list of changes: http://darksoulswiki.wikisp...
I know it says PC, but the changes for consoles remain the same.
My only real complaint was back stabbing should be removed all together in PVP.
