Future Press has provided an update regarding the stock situation of their official strategy guide for the recently-released action role-playing game, Dark Souls.
"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."
This guide is awesome! Definitely a must-own for any collector or fan of the series. I like the tables for the different weapons and their upgrades. It's really helpful when I'm trying to decide how I want to ascend my upgraded weapons. And the hardcover is really slick too.
Just waiting on Amazon to ship mine. I need it. The game is super complex for noobs like myself, but I love it!
Got one ordered on Amazon, they had a great deal for it last week
But couldn’t wait any longer.
had to pick it up from my local GameStop and cancel the Amazon order.
The Guide is a must have. I was a fool to enter the world of the original DS without one (lived off of wiki).
