It's more what happens after a parry that got on my tits.
DS1 parry -> instant riposte. Fast, feels good.
DS2 parry -> wait for them to fall on their ass -> realise you can't even fucking riposte until the land-on-ass animation has ended -> never parry again!
DS2 parry turns into something you do to get a bit of breathing space, or you end up raping RB and prodding things to death with that.
Funny thing is I'm not all that into parries, roll all day etc, but it's nice knowing the option is there & that it doesn't suck... Unless it's DS2. ;)
i feel really trapped in dks1, i mean, the atmosphere is great but i prefer large open areas. Might also be since I never finished the game properly. i really dont see why people call dark souls 2 trash i still think its a great game (All souls games are though)
Ignoring DS2, PC gamer have gave the game a bit of a poke (sadly on PS4)
