it's an objective reality that parries are a shallow mechanic. it's not some take or subjective thing. it's empirical.
let me ask you this. what is "depth"? depth is when if someone asks you what to do in a situation, the answer is "well, it depends". when the combination of inputs and consequences is complex enough that you can only really give someone a general strategy to deal with a problem, then that is depth. now, what is a parry? a parry, in most games, is a mechanic that serves as the answer to EVERYTHING, and this is especially true in expedition 33. no matter what question you ask, the quickest, most precise and most effective answer is: parry it. press the singular button at the correct time. and no matter the timing associated with that action, it will always be a shallow interaction. and most games adopt this style of parry nowadays.

Imagine spending your whole career in game development just making unsuccessful (in capturing what the game was) clones of a game that already exists instead of making something new. And somehow you people think this is something admirable.

>where are the games?
4 switch 2 exclusives announced for 2025 alone, which is already 4x as much as ps5. prime 4, mario kart, bananza, kirby star ride. then for next year we have announcements of duskbloods and splatoon raiders already.

now, you might not be interested in these but how is that not a 10 times higher output than the competition?
>inb4 quantity over quality argument and how having no games is actually a sign of quality and care

ok, I'm not gonna name names, but has erg been compromised?
