These people are bad at games.

You are correct

 

[Bartski]

There are many enemy attacks in Sekiro that cannot be moved around and can only be dealt with by parrying or using the Mikiri counter.

 

[NeverYouMind]

You must be trolling. He substituted a prosthetic and unlockable skills to do the same thing and used the Mikiri counters still. The gameplay is so trash he sometimes had to hide behind geometry.

 

[Wildebeest]

Epic game store needs to give away Sekiro for free, so I can continue never playing it, only more intensely.

The same thing?

I seen this same thread on REEE lol


Parrying is great in rhythm games like Sekiro but games like Lies of P (even tho it’s good) still pissed me off because I felt I was forced to most of the time.

 

[ChoosableOne]

It's like a headshot for action games. I can't stand any action game without it. Makes me feel good every time.

LMAO, purple retards must hate it, as their clumsy greasy sausage fingers can never press the L1 button on right time.

Same shit. Different post.

Loved it in Bayonetta, with the Mirror of Shalawhatever accessory. In harder modes I think it was the only way to trigger Witch Time, which made it even more satisfying.
And of course Metal Gear Rising had most of its gameplay based on it, I especially enjoyed it against that boss you were fighting in the mist, requiring to do half a dozen parries in a row.

I didn't know one could do this in Sekiro. I need to reassess.

Thank you Bartski

Was fighting game Garou Mark of the Wolves the first to introduce this mechanic with it's just defend.?

 

[struggler_guts]

I also really like parry in Elden Ring...

What the fuck kinda parry is that

Some weapon classes you use parry ash of war on them like thrusting swords and daggers.

It just doesn't even look like the weapons come near eachother haha

Yeah, this parry animation is very different than any weapons I experienced.

No. It was either Soul Edge by Namco or Last Bronx by Sega and I can't remember which was first. They are both 3D weapon fighting games.

 

[existensmaximum]

I absolutely hate it, it completely ruins all the fun for me unfortunately. So I've never used it in Dark Souls or Bloodborne, except for maybe some boss where it's pretty much required.

Haven't even tried Sekiro for obvious reasons

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

My two stand-outs are Stellar Blade and Ghost of Tsushima... Stellar Blade in particular was one of the few games that I fully engaged with the parry system. In most other games, parry ends up getting you hit. It's almost always more beneficial to roll/evade.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I've been training on Stellar Blade for awhile now, I wonder if I'm ready to take on Sekiro yet

I have Sekiro wishlisted, maybe it will go on sale during the Steam Summer Sale

If you can hold basic 3-5 bits rhythm there won't be any problem, as this is the only thing that you need to win. Yes this game is that shallow.

I never played Last Bronx but unless I missed something what Soul Edge did was a parry/deflect. Garou's Just Defend was a perfectly timed block mechanic which is akin to DMC Royal Guard system and Sekiro.

 

[Gordon Fearman]

No. It was either Soul Edge by Namco or Last Bronx by Sega and I can't remember which was first. They are both 3D weapon fighting games.

Supposedly the first game with a parry system is Samurai Shodown II in 1994.

 

[Mossybrew]

I don't care for combat systems with a heavy emphasis on timed parries/deflects/blocks.

Really the only defensive move I like is a dodge. I just prefer to be more aggressive in game combat, I find having to time parries correctly tedious.
