Witcher 3

Just sharing to see what you think. I'm sharing this because I'm tired of seeing people diss on Witcher 3 because of bad combat and such.

TW3 having bad combat is a complete meme. The sin it commits is not having Souls combat. Souls combat is slow, is all about wind-ups and commitment times and utilising i-frames. Witcher combat on high difficulties is all about speed, rhythm, and the momentum on the actual sword itself. Nothing wrong with either, but the number of people who automatically move TW3 onto alternate movement response just indicates how many of them have had their muscles and their thought patterns very closely attuned to Souls combat and the design decisions that underpin it. In many ways, TW3 combat is similar in overarching design to TW1 combat: finding a rhythm to your hit combos that enables you to strike consistently without getting hit back is the whole core of the combat system. Sadly, if they ever make a Witcher 4, I reckon they'll just capitulate and give it a shitty version of Souls combat with no sense of momentum whatsoever, and hit boxes that focus on area denial rather than conforming to the actual dimensions of the blade.

Haven't played Souls so I can't say but I don't want to make a case for the combat.

Witcher 3 doesn't do him justice sadly. He was the best in 2.

Also protip: you might want to either temporarily disable UI when you don't need it, or just dramatically decrease it's scale. Improves immersion a lot.

>witcher 3
>bad combat

what the fuck? have you play the original? by far the worst combat system ive ever seen.

>>381985908
Comparing DS combat (that is the absolute main focus and what you do in 90% of the game, which was only slightly changed through the series and used the same base) to any other game combat (Witcher 3 in this case, which was reworked everytime and most of it mechanics were scrapped during development) is just retarded.

What the fuck is this reddit-tier thread? Nobody gives a shit about some opinion you gave some guy.

Did you really need validation so badly from your post that you had to re-post it and make it your own thread when nobody responded to you?

Original's combat is fine for its time. Unless somehow youre dogshit at clicking when the sword lights up. Theres nothing inherently wrong with it and everytime i see someone bitch about w1's combat im always reminded the nu-/v/ is casual as fuck and still garbage at vidya.

the biggest problem with the game is follow the red shit and over reliance on bullshit vision. the worst parts is you can" just turn it off" only to discover you still have to briefly use bullshit vision to interact with the object that solves the quest.

the problem with combat isn't difficulty its the style and approach. the first game had simplistic execution but the combat is supposed to be what a witcher does: sword dancing. instead of trying to reformulate that they just said fuck it and went with the dodge roll/counter and whittle away your target.

You completely misunderstood, the point of the thread is this reply to the criticism I see everywhere, including here. I'm just providing some background because I wanted to copypaste.

Playing through 3 right now, I think the combat is mediocre compared the rest of the game which is pretty good but it's so much better than 1. I just wish it was less Arkham like and something more with its own identity. In conclusion 3's combat is serviceable, but I wish it didn't have that feel of "I've played a similar game like this." How do I stop the urge from picking everything up?

then they failed miserably at introducing the combat, explaining its mechanics, and providing anything approaching useful feedback to the player

the animations look more like a ribbondancing competition that swordfighting to boot

auto aim/assit combat, giant dodge windows.
the ennemies have no aggro at all.
