Bitmob Community Writer Jonathan Ore conducts an interview with Dyad creator Shawn McGrath to follow-up on his speech at Gamercamp where he stated some (possibly) controversial opinions.
"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.

I disagree -- I don't think a one-size-fits-all approach is necessary.
Ill probably get a bunch of thumbs down for this but i would much rater play a game with a linear story that i can understand than a "...it’s not something that you can put into text"
