Hence why i'll get it next year some time,
Skyrim will also take up alot of time, oh and skyward sword which should be a 40/50 hour game....not to mention BF3 with all of its MMORPG style goodness,oh and AC: R

other games that gonna have to wait are Rage

I plan on giving this game a try. I will buy it and comit to trying to complete it. I love fantacy action RPG's with Swords and shields and magic. I like developing a scrub and making him into a god amound men. This game seems to qualify as a game I would enjoy.

My biggest concern here, is that every time I read about Demon Souls, the coversation is about the combat,and having to die a lot to learn patterns. I like good challenging combat. What is not so exciting to me is the idea you having a 10 hr game torn into a 60 hr game because it has tedious fights due to auto leveling or other annoying tricks developers use to make you take long to finish an un-interesting game.

I don't plan on getting it day one as I have games that I am familiar with that I have to play first. But I am interested in this because it is and RPG out of Japan (I have not played an RPG out of Japan since FF7), and the word of mouth is that it is a very good RPG.

I look forward to Skyrim first and fore most,then Kindom of Alamur, ME3, DS and the witcher. In that order of antiscipation.

The prevalence of parrying: Why is it so popular?

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)

Dudeson80d ago (Edited 80d 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.
