IGN: Big games arrive in stores this week, including Dark Souls and Rage. Too broke to afford both? No problem. Podcast Beyond's got your back.
"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."
I prefer Dark Soul, it's frustrating but cheaper in the long terms, cause this game will last me quite awhile.. maybe 3 months since I am not that good :)
Rage for them kiddies and Dark Souls for the rest of us.
Already made my choice - Dark SOuls arrived yeesterday and am 5 hours in already. Damn its harsh, far more so than Demon's SOuls. Will keep me busy for a loooong time, prob til well in to next year.
