Primarily western action/adventure games.
Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode, UnReal World
If you must have action combat, Dark Messiah and Mount and Blade: Warband

Jedi Academy
Condemned 1 and 2

I like the bamham combat. Starts off simple in the first game and gets more and more complex and varied.

It's not western, but if you wanna be Bruce Lee play Godhand.
Otherwise I'd suggest Dark Messiah.
Best combat to me will have to go to NG2. My all time favorite game to beat people up.
The only western games I've played that I enjoyed the combat in are Jedi Outcast and Force Unleashed 2. Lightsabers are fun and OP.
I adore chivalry, god hand and dark souls.
An honorable mention goes to gothic 1+2

It's close to being good, but it's so flawed. It never really feels like there's any skill or technique involved, it's borderlining a QTE at times. If there were multiple ways of disabling the alpha/elite enemies without it feeling awkward it'd be a lot better. Every confrontation ends up boiling down to the same repeated inputs, though. The depth stops at 'you use a gadget'.
>Best fighting/combat system
>western game
Is this bait?
Sleeping Dogs has the funnest casual western combat
>>320983747
For western action games, the best combat would probably be either God of War 2 or the Darksiders series. Dust is pretty good too, especially for an indie side-scroller, but you have to put up with the furfag shit if you wanna play it.
>>320984706
But you just described every combat system in a video game. Repeated button inputs to defeat an enemy.
/v/ I need suggestions, my buddy and I need a solid beat-em-up thats local co-op and available on either the N64 or Xbox 360.
>>320984846
OP here
No I'm curious
>>320983747
I'm sure there is something better but I can't not mention The Warriors, the combat system is amazing, it also helps that the fights are like 20 vs 20 guys at the time with bottles, baseball bats destructible objects that can be used, you can throw a bottle in someones face, smash them through a window and then bash their skull in with a guitar, hell you can even pick up a pool ball and smash someones teeth in.

I disagree, especially in Arkhamn knight. They've added so many enemy types by that game that it takes a bit of thinking, and there ARE multiple ways to take down people.
Arkham knight added environmental take downs which require some positioning, as well as medics who electrify and revive their allies. Other than that, special takedowns give plenty of options, like choosing between to destroy the weapon or instead take out the user (and potentially allow another to pick up the weapon).
That's not even getting into fights you can prepare for with the disruptor and shit.

Get the sonic ultimate collection for 360, has quite a few good beat em ups.
dwarf fortress adventure mode
>>320985428
haha there's sonic beat-em-up games? Thought there was only this
>>320985642
No he's referring to a Genesis collection, it just has Sanic on the cover
>>320985642
No no, it's a bigass collection of genesis/megadrive games. Sonic is just on the cover so that it sells. Beat em ups on it include streets of rage 1 to 3 and golden axe 1 to 3, as well as lesser known shit like alien storm.
Def Jam: Fight for NY
The Arkham series, boring, but good.
>>320985771

Trolled :D
>>320985226
You know that's not the point I'm making, and you're either ignoring the context or surrounding points to get to that.
>>320985407
That's the game I had in mind when writing that. I recently played it and was disappointed at how quickly they jump at introducing the enemies they do, and how quickly that results in the majority of encounters being the exact same chain of events. It's also lacking any sense of challenge, which I assume plays in to the "you're Batman!" thing. Environmental takedowns and the disruptor are great, though. And they also improved the use of gadgets in combat, but I can't help feeling it'd feel better as something more like a fighter's combo input, if only for the sake of better player satisfaction. The combat looks nice, even if it does slow down far too much, and captures the Batman feeling well enough (best we've got, anyway), but it's far from being something great. It's better than AC's shit at least.
And yeah, I played on Hard. I learned from Asylum that it'd be damn boring otherwise.
I'd say Mount and Blade if they refined it a bit more has the most potential
Otherwise I quite like god hand
>>320985247
Dungeons and Dragons Shadow over Mystara is about as good as you're going to get
Also Guardian Heroes
>>320985363
Western devs are shit at making action games
>tfw got to see The Big Boss and The Way of The Dragon for the first time at the theater a few weeks ago
Dwarf Fortress adventure mode
Dark Messiah
M&B: Warband
Jedi Academy
Sleeping Dogs
If you're looking for hand-to-hand combat then I suggest Dwarf Fortress. You can rip off someone's arm with your teeth then use the arm to knock their teeth out and then gouge their eyes out with aforementioned teeth.

Amazing wasn't it?

Condemned 2 for bare fist fighting. 1 wasn't that great for combat
>>320989240FUCK YEAH IT WAS
Though I wasn't expecting to become dark by end of both of them.
>>320989304
Not the same as watching on the big screen though they'll probably not screen it again in a long time so I'll have to download the rest of his movies and watch on the tv.
>>320988470
Is Mystara still on the Live Arcade?
>>320983747The Last of Ushad some cool contextual melee that I primarily used on the hardest difficulty, but it's not complex. Just mash square.
Ninja Gaiden : Black
>>320983747
Chivalry Medieval Warfare (Before Mouse Swing Nerf and Feint Nerf)

>>320992268
Any tips for Warband?
>>320992358
Don't suck and don't be afraid to be a raider/slaver in your first play threw. It's how smart men make money selling woman with mods and butter tons and ton of butter.
>>320985247
Castle crashers on 360 so good
