I wish they add parry slider like in Doom Dark Ages

The parry seems fine on normal difficulty but I found myself often switching to Story just because of the small parry window at some points of the game.

Instead of lowering difficulty, I wish they add a slider to just adjust the parry window like in Doom Dark Ages.

I hope the developers listen.

How are your weapons, pictos, and such looking? Parrying IS a pretty important thing in the game, but it is only one factor. People have been finding plenty of ways getting through content with less and less parrying.

But also, there is dodging too you can try out.

You're not meant to parry everything, it's far too OP if you can consistently parry all incoming attacks. You're meant to dodge what you can't parry, and once you start seeing perfect dodges you can switch to parrying because that's the same timing.

I think the devs made it how they want it to be experienced. But there's nothing stopping you from getting a mod to change the parry window, I actually even recommend it if you think the game would be more fun with that.

I only play games on the hardest difficulty available in the game, I barely ever mod any game either. The games I've modded are Minecraft and Terraria basically. I enjoy the challenge, not saying it's what everyone should play.

My first playthrough I barely parried anything. Some attacks are easier to parry than others, such as Eveque "casts a spell" and "unleashes ultimate power". Very easy to garner the parry window on. As well as Bourgeons acid spit, I opted to parry that.

Now I am on a single character playthrough, where parrying and dodging is essential. I still opt to dodge attacks I absolutely suck at parrying. 50% of the time I see a "dodge", not a "perfect" when I dodge those attacks, so that's definitely what I should aim for. Avoiding damage is essential, dealing damage happens whether or not you parry, as you also have turns to deal damage.


EDIT: Older games I enjoyed the damn ♥♥♥♥ out of I've played hard modes of as well, hence me doing the self-imposed challenge of a single character playthrough.
