I think, part of it is also that it's a rather isolated feature which is fun on its own. You don't need multiple systems working together to make parrying fun. Instead, you just react in the right moment and there's your endorphins. Pretty much the hardest part about implementing it, is to make enemy attacks readable, which you likely need for dodge rolls, too. And then especially for AAA titles, which can't afford to experiment much, such an isolated feature is just a no-brainer to include.
No no no no. No.
You ever played DOOM? And i dont mean the recent incarnations, i mean the original one.
No Parry. Only damage and more damage. And lots of endorfines. BFE.
I hate parrying.
I'm inclined to agree on the latest release, but Doom 2016 is fucking amazing.
Ultimate Doom didn't even have i-frames. If two rockets arrive at your location, you just die.
Of course, the game didn't have jumping, either, and in most games that's kind of a big deal.
