Show me yourself parrying a spear with a knife and I will donate money monthly to your bank account for the rest of your life š a spear swing? Sure , if you are trained and know what you are doing . But we arenāt talking about people here , its a fictional 7+ foot tall alien š .
Plus , I would just throw it at you , personally š plus , when I said parry , I was more thinking of a throw . At range I would imagine a launch would be more popular
I am not a badass like Dutch man. Also this knife is pretty big:
Its not a kitchen knife. Should I ask you to show me you shooting RPGs and miniguns? :)
Then I would also like to point out the predator swings like an idiot, his training is pretty bad lol.
Now I am not saying you can consistently parry spears or that its easy, I am just saying its possible.
If you throw the spear and you miss, you just lost your main weapon. Depending on the setting, armor you had onā¦ It could very well be a death sentence for you even if you donāt miss. You killed me but my buddy right next to me is going to kill you next. Then if I have a shield I would probably be blocking that throw.
Thats not a knife , isnāt that practically a machete? They had those plus smaller ones .
Nothing in the game comes close to that size . You could compare weapons or tactics all day , but what it is about is fictional scenarios, which doesnāt give you much to go on but to try compare it to fact .
Fiction wise? A pred would eat a group of people armed only with small knives(like in the game) , alive . Billy was taken out with one move and he was batshit crazy with a blade that could double up as a table leg .
The skull cleaver should come close to what Billy is using there. Sure as hell is close to it.
Like in the game? We are armed with heavy weapons, explosives and very advanced tech, including plasma weapons. We also know what the predator is, how to fight it, its weaknesses and so on. The knife acts just like a quick parry like it happened in Predator 2 and Predators. Yes, its a bit more exagereted but its not THAT bad.
I dont disagree, and I never said its that bad . The parry shouldnāt stun the pred if you ask me , and it should somewhat knock the fireteam back or down.
It looks like the cleaver in game , but I wouldnāt have said its the same size
The guys in the movie where not really nocked down and the stun, is a game mechanic or parry would be completely useless. Do you think predators should have normal vision? They donāt have it. Also mud should make us completely invisible to preds. Certain liberties need to be taken for gameplay sake.
If the parry would not stun and instead nock you down, what use would it be? Predators would leap in and destroy the entire team. No point to even parry, just shoot and pray to god the 4 of you can do more damage before youāre all dead.
The size looks damn similar to me.
Ok , so let the parry stun but also knock the fireteam down? The knockdown saves the member from taking damage and It would at least compensate by giving the other 3 fireteam team the opportunity to inflict damage? The person who parried could be knocked down , its 4v1 and they inflict more damage together than the solo pred does .
I think it would balance things a bit better , the game should promote teamwork as ft , one scout duelist can end the game quick . Small things in that game can go a long way .
Huh? If you knock him down he is DEAD. Nobody would ever parry, it would be a detriment to do so. As it is is really risky to parry if the pred is good at it. What people would do is just spray and pray. I will never understand why people want to remove the only counter melee has in the game. The stun itself is very short. Unless you get about 3 parries off you go down most often then not. If a predator is not a complete idiot he will time the attack when AI are on the FT as well as not all 4 having line of sight. Also any decent pred is going to get the first melee off.
Predator melee is used as a filler between other attacks (like bow shots) or by using hit and runs. Not by rushing in and meleeing people to death. That was what berserker where doing at the start of the game and it was horrible (see Angry Joes review).
Seriously, more skilled based gameplay and less braindead one.
PS. Iāve said it before, people issues with parry is not that it makes little sense, its that people canāt rush in and melee people to death. I assure you, if the devs would replace parry with something that makes perfect sense but its more effective then parry, people would have that far more.
Tell you what, I would be ok for parry to knock me down if I gain 5 seconds of invulnerability. No stun for the predator just as well.
If it was 1v1 ? I would see your point . But it isnāt mate . Teamwork should be encouraged, instead of running off solo
I guarantee you, if this game had a premade only group where predators would face only skilled 4 man premades, even if the predator would be fully balanced around that, the predators that would use that que would be counted on one hand.
The game already encourages team play, if youāre couth alone, youāre dead against any half decent predator. When you have 20 AI on you and randoms on your team that donāt even have line of sight (assuming they even know youāre getting attacked) before they get there the predator already killed you! The stun on the predator is far to short, a knock down would stun me far more then the damn predator and all the predator would have to do is follow up with more melee in a brainless, no skill mode. You seem to be demanding skill for the FT but demanding none for the predator. As it is, it takes FAR more skill to parry then rushing in and meleeing. You can still melee just fine in this game BUT IT TAKES SKILL!
What I use the stun for, more often then not, is to reposition and get the f out of there.
Balancing for 4 vs 1 is demanding skill? Where have I mentioned skill ? š this game isnāt balanced as 4 vs 1 , if you donāt agree ? Then you donāt? Parrying requires skill? Melee against 4 would require more skill than taking a knife out ?
What does removing the only counter to melee have to do with balancing for 4v1? Its already balanced like that.
You are NOT supposed to melee against 4 individuals! You should melee against 2 at best. At what point did you think I should rush in as 4 shoot at me, kill one and leave? Seriously? Also you think parry is as easy as taking the knife out? really? How many people do you see when you que random parry? How many do you see parry well?
Watch this, go to minute 3:00. Almost died and count the parries I got. The guy was also BAD at it, very badā¦
Bitch pleaseā¦ I do what I want!
Man that clave is crazy lol. Nicely done!
Parry is broken af but its also funny when i 1v1 stupid preds
Its not broken, its the only counter to people rushing in and killing the entire team with 0 effort.
Did you try shooting the predator?
Parrying is still < good movement and shooting in most situations.
nah fam just have to run around stafing with knife out instead of just switching weapons for DPS and hitting the dreaded skillcheck of actually succeeding parry prompts
cant play without my additional heavy attack free parry frames
I hope you were just trolling and intentionally decided not to shoot him after those parries otherwise wtf am I watching
dude we know you are moron af , its 100% broken when i can 1v1 most preds with parry but low players like you dont get it
