Battlefield 3 has now been announced and is going to take over the FPS market, according to us that is. We don't think so highly of a Halo: CE remake, but there are some glimmers of hope! Duty Calls is by far the funniest thing we have seen in a long time, and we cannot praise it enough. What will Modern Warfare 3 do to retaliate?
Priest shares his despise for Saints Row 3, Jeff gets excited for boobs and guns in Duke Nukem, and Chris hates on Dark Souls, Lego games and Mortal Kombat.
"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.
Trevor Walker said: Fighting games have always been able to simultaneously experiment and innovate while staying true to their roots in the best of ways. Mechanics change, crossovers take place, and evolution occurs. One of the best examples of all three can be seen in the coveted guest character.
