>>341033227
When Bethesda loses GOTY titles and can't even compete with a no name Polish product then you know Bethesda is fucking up. They get these awards for name, not even by merit; but they slipped too hard with this one.
>>341033227
Never said it was a bad game, the season pass is just a bad deal.
Hey witcherfags how about that QUALITY combat you got there?
>>341033117
Heart of stone dlc is the best I have played add on wise.
>>341033530
>complains about W3 combat
>Bethesda games have the worst combat of any RPG
How do you justify that?
>>341033530
Hey summerfag how about those SHITTY posts you're making here. Fuck off.
>>341033530
As bland as it is, it's better than anything Bethesda has made. They're basically still using 1st person dungeon crawler combat that was mind-blowing in the early 90s, acceptable in the early 2000s, and a complete embarrassment today.
>>341033530
I started playing the witcher 3 the other day after hearing about how bad the combat is from /v/. I don't get it? Combat is pretty good.
>>341032852
Except Fallout 4 is twice more fun due to better gameplay design than the Witcher 3.
You get what you pay for I guess, trash content for trash prices.
>>341033530
I know this is bait but
Its better than anything Bethesda pumps out. People who complain about the combat tend to forgot what their alternatives are. The only thing I dislike about it at this point though is that difficulty in combat doesn't translate well into Witcher 3s combat. Geralt seems to have I-Frames on his rolls, but they aren't reliable at all. Fighting against Griffins for example is a fucking chore because your dodge doesn't work properly, and there's even a golem that will drain 1/3rd of your health by literally pounding on the floor and releasing a shockwave that will still hurt you mid-air.
>>341032852
>half the price of Fallout 4
>half the gameplay too
Seems about right.
When you can say "bethesda has a better combat system" you know you're looking at a shit series.
>>341034032

Both FO4 and Skyrim are more popular than Witcher and the vast majority agree both those shitty games have better combat than Witcher
So your "LOL SO CONTWEWIAN" argument has no merit.
>>341034032
It's not bad. Witcher 3 just attracts jealous shitposters who are mad the game was successful. Most those people were set on hating it before it even came out.
I have fun even post-endgame with level scaling.
>>341034168
>He bought a game 1/100th as good as TW3 for 3x the price
xD what a shit eater
yeah but witcher 3 is a trash game and fallout 4 is a decent game, it's worth paying the extra money for content for a game that is actually good
>paying for DRM free games
They are literally asking you to pirate it.
>>341034168

Fuck you people. Ruining this series with your bullshit and pettiness. Turning it into a shitposting fest because you are so insecure you have to defend every purchase like anyone fucking knows or cares what the fuck you think.
No one gives a flying fuck. Shut the fuck up and fuck off.
You forgot twice the quality as well.
>>341034168
>neo-/v/
>>341034032
I think the biggest problem is that you have a lot of shit that just doesn't have much purpose. For example, there's little reason to use a heavy attack over a light attack, and most enemies can be dealt with by using a sign to stun them and hitting them a couple times. Because of the way Geralt fights, combat doesn't feel weighty and needing to switch between signs/bombs/crossbow or hard-pause to go into your inventory to use oil is clunky at best.
That said, at least it's trying. TES these days is offering combat that is only acceptable in something like Minecraft.
>>341034394
>Jealous
Nig they can literally purchase it right now
How the fuck is any of this shit jealousy? I personally shitpost in witcher threads because none of you ever make an argument back to that one guy that keeps posting webms of your content and this has made all of you easily triggered. It's hilarious.
I personally like the witcher 3, you guys are just funny to watch reply.

Is this some kind of joke? Have you even played The Witcher 3? I can't remember the last time I played a game this well made that the devs clearly loved and wanted to be the best it could be.
>You can buy dogshit for half the price of that other piece of shit!
Wow, that is so nice. I'm sure tempted. Wanna recommend some more shit? How much is Dragon Age 2 nowadays?
>>341034598
>How the fuck is any of this shit jealousy?
There are so many salty Bethesda/Bioware fanboys and you know it. I personally find it hilarious how one game made those two fanbases so incredibly assmad and jealous.
>I personally like the witcher 3
You'd have to be crazy not to.
>>341034392
>So your "LOL SO CONTWEWIAN" argument has no merit.
Except plenty of games with questionable combat and gameplay have had relatively unchallenged cult status here (DX, Morro, VTMB and TW2 just off the top of my head). It's simply that large shitposter population here on /v/ just can't handle liking something that dirty pleb also plays.
>>341034712

You need a talent for i-frames on your dodge.
>>341034746
I pirated it and quit after 1 hour and saw how ridiculously small the world map is and so much CINEMATIC CUTSCENE I had to skip through just to get a game that plays so poorly that you can barely control your character and being a shitty premade character that offers no customization whatsoever. Then I saw how they sell more open world maps through the season pass and I quit and was disgusted at such a terrible game that makes EA look good.
Compared to Fallout 4 where the gameplay is fantastic from the get go and allows you to explore and have fun in the world within an hour and it marks a huge difference in developer competency and people who actually give a shit about making a good game.

I have never tasted shit anon, but I imagine you know all about how to keep shit eating interesting and flavorful by filling your mouth with the raunchiest sloppiest diarrhea you can find. You are the King of Shit Eaters after all, shit eating seems to be all you talk about.
I still insist, we are talking about video games. Take your shitty habits to another thread where there are more shit eaters like you who share your interests.

I was really hoping they'd fix the terrible combat for the last DLC, but I guess not, and since TW3 mods are non-existent it will always be poor.

All you talk about is eating shit and how the shit you eat is better than anyone elses.
You can't stop talking about how much shit you eat in video game threads so I don't think eating shit is a preference for you, its a passion.

>>341033530

>>341035051
Here's your (you) but Im starting to think there's actual retards on /v/ who think this.
I played both games and actually enjoyed Fallout 4, but objectively the Witcher 3 is a far better made game with more content and a more competent developer.
W3 map is substantially larger even without the DLC. The different provinces are diverse and large enough on they each feel rewarding to explore for their unique quests and events. Fallout 4 doesnt feel finished; Building settlements barely works and players had to find ways to trick the game into working correctly so they could place objects correctly and even then the exercise is pointless because nothing attacks your settlements that poses even the slightest threat. Quests consist of clearing the same areas over and over again, fetch quests and after the main quest is finished there is zero endgame content. I explored the entire map, hit endgame and was completely unstoppable after 56 hours of extremely casual gametime including a disgusting amount of autistic base building for no reason.
Im in NG+ of the Witcher 3 and finding Blood and Wine to be one of the best releases of the year despite being DLC.
Console-fag absolutely do not apply, both games look and play like arse in 30FPS.
Spam fast attack to win: the game
>tfw really enjoyed combat in TW3
>never had any problems with it
>if anything went bad I just thought of a different approach and eventually succeeded
>mfw people can't adapt to combat in video games and just call it shit right on the spot when it doesn't look just like they expected
>>341035051
Your bait was way too obvious
>>341037956
Atleast Witcher 3 runs at a constant 30 fps on console, something Fallout 4 can't handle.
>>341038041
I only play on Easy: the post
>>341038041
Spam fast attack only works on normal human enemies with no shield. Sometimes drowners but they often attack in group.
>>341038123
Once you get good at weaving behind enemies and parrying the combat looks extremely nice. Spamming attacks and using that stupid spin move seems to be what people think the Witcher 3 combat consists of which is funny because it becomes a useless strategy even early in the game or above normal difficulty, and even then.
>>341034747
>>341035168
lol i bet you're too big of a cunt to even name off your 3 favorite games. stay mad buttboi, enjoy bumping the witcher bread for me
>>341038335
...and most bosses and most monsters. Drowners actually step back and you can't constantly spam fast attack on them.
>>341035051
>I pirated it and quit after 1 hour and saw how ridiculously small the world map
I like when I can stop reading b8 just one sentence in. try harder next time m8. you didn't even see the world map 1 hour in.
>>341038397
Honestly the spin thingy can sometimes be useful but more often when you use it, you get hit in the back and lose health easily.
>>341038281
TW3 is spam combat even on the highest difficulty, this was already proven a year ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkFqn1TMeH4
>>341038489
Most bosses will easily counter you or block/stun if you just spam light attack without movement.
Arachnomorphs also move rather quickly.
>>341038281
Blood & broken bones actually. The game starts hard but always gets trivial after a couple of levels because of how shit the balancing is.
game of the decade. there isn't a single rpg nor any other single player experience that even sniff witcher 3 gooch
>>341038498
On Deathmarch/Hard I don't think Ive found a use for it.

>Makes out that he doesn't understand the difference between lock on and dynamic targeting
>Later proves that he does but can't handle the basic micro
Holy fuck get good, you target the closest enemy so you can string attacks and parries easily without having to manually change target, then you target enemies you want to finish off specifically
Even so compared to Skyrims combat which is essentially Terraria tier with no parry and no dodging mechanics this combat is far beyond most open world games in general. The Witcher 2 combat is far more indepth but for such a large game it would be incredibly tiring
What does this prove exactly?
>>341039063

>>341039063
>can't complain about literally anything else

People who call it shit never played a game with shit combat.
>>341039063
that's why you don't even mention it or talk about it.
everyone knows that the combat in witcher games isn't the main focus. wasn't in 1, wasn't in 2, and glad it's not in 3.
game is fine how it is imo, 200 hours and counting. and i see another 100 before it's all said and done.
>>341038521
This guy is terrible, he doesn't even try to use the targeting or camera correctly, intentionally points at enemies far away then cries when the game locks onto them. Beating level 7 human enemies in a small group using defensive tactic only proves this shit-head is so butthurt he won't even try. He's a couple of hours into the game and already finding it too hard.

>>341039189
I wouldn't say TW2 has more depth. It kind of forces you to when and roll spam in high level arena but the dodge addition eliminates that problem entirely
>>341039732
Blood and Wine map is definitely a step up in terms of texture quality and map design.
Looks gorgeous
>>341039954
don't worry, i'll be doing the same thing with the armor.
>>341040013
Worst thing is, because of all the bonuses I don't really want to switch for pure armor value, as it gives me more dps.
Eh, maybe I'll just make cat armor again. That sleveless part is quite fun, then it goes full edgelord

>>341040489
Yes, the four armor pieces can be obtained during the Open Sesame mission. Talk to Countess Mignole at the auction house (the old woman with her hair in a bun), until a trading option presents itself. She sells the diagrams you’re looking for. Beware: the conversation with the Countess is entirely optional, and you can’t go back in after you’ve left.
Viper Venomous Steel Sword you get after you enter the vault at the auction house. You’ll find the diagram for the steel sword in there, in a chest next to the altar-like structure.
The silver sword itself (not the diagram) can be found during the Whatsoever a Man Soweth quest, but only if you choose to help Olgierd von Everec. Go over the wooden bridge, through the large stone gate, then keep to the left. You’ll be ambushed by a giant specter. When you defeat it, climb the broken stairs and you’ll see the sword lodged in a stone.
>>341040841
I'm still away from that, I started playing a few days ago and i'm still in Novigrad, and I want to complete the game before moving on to the DLCs.

You should start with Witcher Gear. I hope you haven't sold it.

>>341041021
Do the treasure hunts for Witcher Gear. You should do the DLC before finishing the main quest line, once you hit the level recommendation it's just a great way to get heaps of bonus gear

you can hide the prompts in qte based games like ryse or arkham, that doesn't make the gameplay any better than what it is.

>>341041357

>asscreed collectaton
Yes 100 flags is super fun to collect. This is literally not in the game, retard.
>>341041593
Witcher gear is a class of armour, armour worn by Witchers only, it is the only upgradable armour in the game.
Kaer Morhen Armor is Geralt's starting chest armor in The Witcher 3. It is also a piece of Witcher Gear, and is upgradeable through Crafting. Because of this, it is very important to NOT sell or dismantle the armor, or you will be unable to obtain the Warrior's Leather Jacket, which is the next step.
I was pretty disappointed at Lady of the Lake. It's just a fucking bog standard elf model with a fucking bikini on. At least the sword had good and unique stats.
>>341041921
Oh didn't know that.

But you are. You're throwing a tantrum right now because people like something you don't and making really stupid arguments like that it's QTEs when obviously you're wrong and that's dumb.
>>341042073
lol m8 if you want the comfy scene youneed to playwitcher 1. hope you did already
>>341041857
there isn't any quicktime events, W3 is an action RPG it has gameplay to match
the controls are
>Fast Attack
>heavy attack
>parry/block
>dodge step
>dodge roll
the 'finishers' you seem to have decided are quick time events are just showy finales for the last strike in combat, they have a random chance to trigger and make the game more satisfying.
>>341042073
But anon she has an ass that puts others to shame
>>341041815
Pretty sure it auto unequips your weapons regardless when going into the cutscene. I might be wrong though.
>>341041857
>you can hide the prompts in qte based games like ryse or arkham
You fucking imbecile, in Arkham they weren't prompts, it was a button tutorial that stayed there the whole game until you turn it off.
Human revolution just has takedowns, they aren't finisher take downs because you don't need to soften up the enemy. You just use your energy to take them down. And if there's any legit reason to complain about them it's because the game CHANGES FROM FIRST PERSON TO THIRD PERSON FOR NO REASON.
Liberate yourself from your inferior genes, you retarded chucklefuck.
>>341042285
>they have a random chance to trigger
AKCHUALLY
If you have one of the mutations, I think it jumps to 100% on humanoids if I'm not mistaken. And it's fun, especially since some finishers can also deal damage to enemies standing too close.
>>341042348
Yea but she doesn't comment on the fact that you opted to do it yourself.
>>341042085
You craft the next tier of armour using a diagram, with the previous tier of armour as an ingredient, you can buy the materials using rightclick when crafting items or find the components yourself (you should generally have heaps from looting) there are a few high level blacksmiths in the world you should use them to craft all your gear if possible as only they can craft high level gear. To see what recipes you have generally, check the "above craftsman level" option when filtering crafting lists to see all the options. You can highlight components so they are marked when looting and browsing shops
>>341042285
And they can be turned off entirely because CDPR is one of those rare devs that adds things people ask for even though sperms like him never intended to play the game to begin with
>>341032852
man the torrents for the witcher 3 are great. All DLC included, already cracked. Shame the combat is fucking atrocious, but at least the writing and world building is hella good.
>tfw you saved 75 euro
>>341039925
May be wrong but I think that's what you start with if you select the "Blood and Wine only" option when starting a new game
Pretty sure you start of with that armor and hairstyle, except the armor and weapons are scaled up to 34.
Default pre-made Geralt.
>>341042575
I unlocked the one in Novigrad that makes you a sword at the end of the quest, does that one work?
And where should I look for the diagram?
>>341037090
Game looks nice but the combat is shit. If I wanted a painting Id get one
>>341041857
>>341040724
witcher 3 doesnt have any QTE at all.
>>341042690
Nice you're total fucking cancer and probably spend your money on unrespectable garbage that TW3 outclasses in every way, good for you tumor.
>>341042690
There is literally nothing to be cracked. This game doesn't have any measures to stop anyone from redistributing.
>>341042754
I believe the dwarf in crows perch is the best armor craftsmen in the game.

No-one ever says why, shitposting really works
>>341042690
The developer didnt use any form of DRM out of respect while releasing free DLC and putting extreme effort into the two expansions. You're an actual parasite if you pirate a CDPR game
>>341043169
Why do you think he's so fat?
It's because he is now The Wall.
>>341043112
It's either too hard or too easy, they can't fucking decide.
>>341043230
>dodge, swing, dodge, swing, dodge, swing
Isn't that basically combat in Souls games?
>>341042373
>You fucking imbecile, in Arkham they weren't prompts
arkham games have enemy attack indicators.
Instead of having a button prompt they have the flashing indicator, which sure is really that different than having a huge Y above their head or whatever.
In knight and ryse, the indicator can be disabled at the highest difficulty, which (at release) unlock after finishing the game in easy/normal/diffcult
but it's fine, I know these threads are full of retarded rabid shills
>>341043230
>dodge, swing, dodge, swing, dodge, swing
Most people find faster and more effective combat methods early in the game but bravo for never advancing past the basics
CD Projekt red is pretty much the only developer that I refuse to pirate from.

You forgot the option of

It's all about flow. There ain't nothing if there ain't flow.
And the Witcher 3 combat falls apart when you're up against loads of dudes.
One on one though, it's fucking awesome.
>>341042690
>cracked
It would need some form of protection to be cracked in the first place
>>341043112
First post in this thread
The combat in Witcher isn't bad because of lack of movesets or tools in your disposal - which does hurt it - but because the enemy variety is complete and utter shit.
And even if you have all these different creatures, barely any of them have interesting or differing movesets. Even the human enemies have almost the exact same moves.
Its serviceable at best and downright mediocre at worst.
>>341043454
>combat falls apart when you're up against loads of dudes.
How so?
>>341043453
Dude, wearing ANY serious armor is gonna be hot as balls.
>>341043230
Yes anon, combats in games are fought by pressing buttons in a sequence.
>>341043351
Nobody is trying to sell you anything, we'd rather you killed yourself like you plan on doing anyway
>>341043351
Well it's been ages since I played it. But again, that's not a fucking prompt. And it doesn't show up in the Witcher as far as I'm aware.
>>341043312
Souls games have interesting enemy movesets, stamina management and other restraints to keep it interesting, not to mention the enemy placement works well with the environment itself.
In Witcher the enemy movesets are just downright boring and repetitive.
>>341043454
>And the Witcher 3 combat falls apart when you're up against loads of dudes.
lmao
wat am i reading
>>341043454
I love fighting packs that is where my flow is the strongest, it's like a dance of blood flying around

>roll behind enemy
>fast attack
Wooow
>>341042690
cdpr devs literally said before release that anyone who wants to pirate the game will be able and get all the dlc with no trouble
that's why they included a lot of exclusives and messages for players who spent money on the game
you're an actual shitstain if you torrent games from devs like this and then make threads on /v/ about why games are becoming shit
>>341043569
The combat system isn't designed for more than ten guys at once. The AI can't really handle it resulting in weird AI moves, and you can easily get hemmed in making the dodge roll difficult to use and the lunge dodge suicidal.
It's usually not an issue, but in the B&W Hanse locations they throw you up against 30 dudes and it's obvious the combat wasn't made for that many enemies.
>>341043543
I see. I do think DMC3 sucks too.
>>341043247
your tears sustain me.
>>341043312
except in Souls the enemy actually matters. Doesn't matter what the fuck the enemy does if you just spam swing and dodge, at least Skyrim's combat wasn't tedious while being terrible.
>>341043419
you forgot the part where doing any of that is pointless.
>>341043574
never knew you could fight a combat by pressing buttons. Shits and giggles aside, at least in most games it matters what the enemy does to retaliate, which simply isn't the case in TW3. I've played 20 hours so far, and it's the same mundane shit.
>whaaa it gets better later in
mate, a fuck ton of other games can manage to have interesting combat from the get-go. if it takes eons for the first interesting enemy to show up, i'd call the combat of that game "shit".
>>341043791
>sidestep behind enemy
>fast attack
Woooow
>>341043570
Classy Geralt style Maticore set is fine for Toussent climate. Bear was made for Skellige only.
>>341043927
I only got into the game after buying it and giving myself a reason to do so.
It becomes really entertaining.
Then again, I play it with a controller, this type of games with a keyboard and mouse...
They don't feel okay to me.
>>341043230
This is like people that hate Batman saying it's punch, counter, punch counter. Or people hating GOW and claiming square square triangle is all you need to win.
No one worth a damn takes you seriously. You mentioned nothing about blocking or parrying. Nothing about potions. Nor about how roll placement or timing of swings is the difference between taking damage and effectively dealing with a situation.
It isn't the best combat ever, but it has it's not near as awful as you make it out to be. They even patched in level scaling to make every fight better.
>>341043875
>and you can easily get hemmed in making the dodge roll difficult to use and the lunge dodge suicidal
You're telling me, that, hold on, that if, hold on a sec, you're telling me, that if whoa man, wait a second here, you're telling me that if you get surrounded you can't dodge anywhere SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! OMG SHIT COMBAT
>>341043976
So why are you shitting on TW3 while DS is basically the same?
>>341043741
what the fuck is up with enemy movesets in TW3. I swear i've only ever seen enemies do either a simple slow attack or a lunge attack, of which most enemies just spam the lunge attack, even at close range. Even the fucking harpies just land and start boxing you. It's hilariously bad.
Good thing everything other than the combat is stellar as fuck.
>>341043927
>ou forgot the part where doing any of that is pointless.
Except it isn't.
>>341043230
>any combat section feels like a QTE.

I understand you hate the game but dude, i have no words to describe how raged lying phaggot you are
>>341043927
>souls, a game series that is like 99% combat has better combat then a game that does more then that.
No shit?
>>341043875
Then don't fucking get surrounded?
God, you retards
>>341043882
The combat in DMC isn't great, true.
>muh combos
None of that matters when barely any enemy is actually threatening and when 80% of your moves isn't worth using other than the style system.
They're fun games but the combat isn't amazing. The combos you can pull off are fantastic and cool sure but its just a bunch of flashy shit with no substance if the enemies themselves are just non threatening boring shit.
>>341043927
>except in Souls the enemy actually matters
What a joke dude, I get it you've never played any other game but dark souls and want to feel 'hardcore' incessantly mentioning your mediocre ads games that aren't even harder than actually worthwhile challenges like death to spies or commandos but there's no need to lie to us or yourself
>>341044089
It's not shit I never said that, the combat system gets overloaded by too many enemy NPCs at times and makes the combat wonky.
Other than that, it's a good combat system.
>>341041021
It depends on what build you're going for and what level you are. Just get the free DLC for armor. It just adds new armors.
For the most part just use these in order until you can upgrade to the next:
Tamerian armor - lvl 4
Nilfgaard armor - lvl 10
Griffin armor - lvl 11 (stay with nilf if not signs)
Undvik armor - lvl 16
Ursine armor - lvl 20
From 17-20 onward is where you just stick with the witcher set you want and upgrade that to enhanced, superior etc every 5 or so levels.
>>341038281
I played on Death March and it is still accurate. This game is easy as fuck.
You want a difficult game play Oblivion on 100% difficulty.
>>341044321
>They're fun games
Hold up son. You're shitting on the first DMC here too aren't you? The game that pretty much grandfathered all of the 3d combat games?
lol
What game has good combat anon? Pray tell?
>>341043927
>except in Souls the enemy actually matters
>>341044335
Both of those games are older than any dark souls shill. DS is a meme, nothing more. Nobody actually gets e-reps for mentioning it no matter how much Fromdrones wish they did
>>341044446
Nah that shit is babby tier. You want difficulty, go flip a coin and try to make it land on heads 20 times in a row.
>>341044368
Well I haven't played B&S but that's beside the point that the base game gets fucked with loads of enemies. The guy we were responding to literally said that the best combat is 1v1 for fucks sake.
>>341044229
Difficult not to get surrounded in a location like this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsiMcsbTrrE
Just too many dudes.
>>341038123
the only people who have problems with the combat are souls fans who argue that it's not the same as souls so it's shit
almost as cancerous as the cod fanbase desu
>>341044136
Because your logic of comparing the games is completely insane.
There is more to these games combat than just rolling and attacking. Souls has more variables and movesets to boast, while I can't think of a single thing Witcher does better.
The combat in W3 is serviceable but its not the main focus and it fucking well shows. In Souls the whole focus is the combat and its clear as day.
>>341043868
Bethesda DLCs aren't protected either, but that's because they're incompetent
>>341044764
You know you can use Aard to stagger them/make them fly and then just move out of the circle they're creating?
Wooow I didn't move and I got surrounded shit game 0/10
>>341044712
What? Going toe to toe with a huge beast or monster is awesome. Far better than fighting a group of bandits.
>>341044815
Your logic is insane too, because in Witcher you can use various signs and different attacks from all sides.
>>341044768
That's not really fair, the CoD fanbase is much older and displays much more maturity than DS fans
>>341044908
>Going toe to toe with a huge beast or monster is awesome
lol
>>341044335
>>341044512
Have you ever actually played a Souls game? Try not paying attention to enemies in them, see how good you do.
>>341044846
I never said the game was shit, I just said that the combat has flaws.
One of them being that the game wasn't made for large scale fights.
oboi, all these (you)s. I didn't realize TW fanboys were this thin skinned.
>>341044040
>i only enjoyed it because i wasted money on it
this is some serious buyer's remorse stockholme syndrome shit. I'm not going to force myself to like a game because I spent money on it, what the fuck kinda backwards ass logic is that.
>>341044183
I liked the part where you argued your point anon.
>>341044206
That's a nice counterargument anon.
>I understand you hate the game
when did I ever say I hated the game. I love the writing, the world building, pretty much everything other than the combat. It's the sole aspect of the game I dislike, and with a passion.
>>341044219
Yeah, in comparison TW3's combat is mundane and a blemish on an otherwise damn good game.
>>341044512
that's a mighty fine argument anon, do go on.
>>341044815
>There is more to these games combat than just rolling and attacking
Tell me more about how there's more to a games combat than rolling and attacking while shitting on W3.
>>341044498
>Hold up son. You're shitting on the first DMC here too aren't you? The game that pretty much grandfathered all of the 3d combat games?
I fully understand what it did and how it changed the genre but I fail to see how the combat is that great.
The movesets are huge, its extremely reaction skill based and it has a huge potential for lots of cool combos.
But at the end of the day thats just it. The enemies barely pose a threat and thats just a fact. 80% of your moves are practically worthless because you're better off using moves that actually do damage but are a bit slower.
I've played DMC4 for like 70 hours but thats been for over 4 months of time. Its just not a very engaging game even if the game offers lots of tools and attacks.
>What game has good combat anon? Pray tell?
Even if I name examples and give arguments to them, you'll just shit on them with some ebin greentext argument akin to this gentleman here>>341044512
So yeah, who cares.
>>341045124
Do the same to this game anon. See how well you do. For example, try to dodge drowners like you would dodge a human lol. Just try it.
>>341045143
So you're saying that "except in Souls the enemy actually matters" is an argument when you have nothing to back that up?
That's the last time you get a (You) from me, friend.
>>341045124
Is this how From tries to break a million sales? Going on 4Chan and just lying to people to trick them into buying their game?
>>341045143

lol as (you) did right?
>>341045143
(You)
Shill your dogshit somewhere else

>>341045339
>>341045290
Can we all just agree that the Witcher 3 was an amazing game with a few flaws here and there?
>>341045137
Name a game where a combat has no flaws.
It surely wasn't, but it's serviceable. I never had any problems with large scale fights when I actually had a tactic in mind and didn't just go haha dude spam fast attack to win lmao
>>341044950
And yet Souls still has way more. Witcher has only one weapon class and it shares the moveset across all weapons. In Souls you have multiple different classes with multiple different weapons with unique movesets. This is the most apparent in Bloodborne where one weapon would have over 13 attack animations.
>>341045169
I'm not shitting on W3 because its
>roll attack roll attack
I'm "shitting on it" (while saying the combat is completely serviceable but not great) because of many different things like enemy variety, weapon variety, movesets, animations and other things.
Its okay. Its bland but it works.
>>341045272

>this combat is shit

Lost interest in your bullshit anon.
>>341045580
I can agree that the combat isn't great, but it's nowhere near as shit as some faggots make it out to be.
>>341045607
I can't think of a game that didn't have flaws, but the point I was trying to make still stands.
Witcher 3 is an amazing but SLIGHTLY flawed game.
>>341045676
>Witcher has only one weapon class and it shares the moveset across all weapons
Woah, it's not like you're playing as a WITCHER, who is only skilled heavily in fighting with SWORDS.
gotdecade
>>341045676
>Its okay. Its bland but it works.
Well I'll concede to that.
The only thing I can nippick about the combat in Witcher 3 is the enemy level scaling, other than that it's excellent.
