Hopefully you've recovered a bit from your Demon's Souls thrashing because the spiritual successor to the 2009 sleeper hit is about to kick your face in later this year. Lauded as being even harder than its predecessor, Dark Souls finally has a solid release date.
"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.

Hope it's as brutal as Demon Souls, if so, I'm very excited.
you have no idea how pumped i am for this game!
Soul of the lost withdrawn from it's vessel. Let Strength be granted to the world might be mended.....so the world might be mended.
Its hard to imagine how this can be better than demons souls but i SO hope it is. Cant wait!
