Hmm, xbox360 owners don't buy as many games as ps3 owners...

cstyle4582d ago

360 owners buy more software. Even on xbox live too. If you think you are right then go ask Insomniac who buys more.

TreMillz4582d ago

They'd say PS3 since all their titles equals more not just from 1....

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)

Dudeson41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

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.
