Elden Ring gets Metal Gear Rising Revengeance’s parry system
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/elden-ring-gets-metal-gear-rising-revengeances-parry-system/
Elden Ring and Metal Gear Rising fans, here is something special for you today. Modder ‘F -I hate Elden Ring and you too- Wang’ (what a hilarious name) has released a mod that brings Metal Gear Rising Revengeance’s deflect/parry system to FromSoftware’s title.
Going into more details, this mod completely changes the game’s parry system. Players will use L1 to block, and then move the movement stick in whichever direction the attack is coming from. If an enemy is attacking from the right, you must press the right key. If from the left, then the left key. And if it’s an attack from anywhere else, you’ll have to press the back key.
Once you successfully parry, you’ll see sparks and air slashes, similar to those of Metal Gear Rising. If you attack then, you’ll also get a 0.2 of attack-tied Deflect, just like in MGRR.
>> There's a video of the mod.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor modder ridicules Respawn by fixing crucial issues by himself
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/star-wars-jedi-survivor-modder-ridicules-respawn-by-fixing-himself-crucial-issues/
Steam’s member ‘Snight01’ has released a must-have mod for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. This mod fixes the annoying crashes that could occur on Jedha when using Ray Tracing. Moreover, it resolves the occlusion culling issues that plagued this SW game.
It’s really funny that Respawn has not been able to fix these issues. Yesterday, and after a whole month, Respawn released a new PC patch. And, surprise surprise, the aforementioned issues were still present in it.
The fact that a modder was able to fix these issues so easily is funny and depressing. It’s funny because modders have decided to give Respawn the finger and fix the game themselves. On the other hand, it’s depressing because in 2023 the developers can’t even fix their own games. And while PC gamers can at least enjoy the game, the console version of Jedi Survivor is still in an awful state. Man, what a clusterfuck.
>> Modders do what devs don't. Anyway, there are no screenshots nor video of this mod/fix.
