I'm having trouble getting into the game. The story, the characters, and the interactions draw me in. As soon as the fighting starts, I get bored. I just really do not like this game's combat system.

Not smooth as dark souls or kingdoms of Amalur.

I'm still giving it a chance tho! The combat is just sluggish

Dark Souls had smooth combat? lol ya lost me there pal.


PvP was the only time there was lag in action. The gameplay was smooth. In the witcher, the controls are unresponsive at times. The damage seems random and there are no backstabs as far as I know...

Dark Souls is a great game, but people really overhype the combat aspect.

It's a game where you learn patterns and play footsies with every enemy. There's the initial satisfaction when you learn how to beat a fight, but usually the steps involved are so simplistic that it won't be "You know enough tricks to barely get by" it's usually "You know every trick to get by flawlessly or you don't know anything and get curbstomped". At least that's how it was for me.

I think the biggest combat issues is that you don't have full control over everyone of Geralt's combat abilities. That with the combination that you have to make full commitments with your attacks gives the combat that clunky feeling.

Dark Souls however, is very far from "Perfect" It's generally unsatisfying after awhile and gets boring.

Most action games on the harder difficulties are much more difficult than Dark Souls. I don't get why people keep saying Dark Souls and Witcher 2 are some of the hardest games out right now. That just simply isn't true.

Who cares about what u said about dark souls. Of course every enemy had a pattern. Most other action games, the enemies have horrible AI, just like this game. Im playing it on hard mode and the enemies are like mentally handicapped...

And Dark/demons souls combat is not overhyped. There's not one action rpg out there with better combat than those 2 games...

Kingdom Hearts 1 had good combat. Part 2 was a button masher.


KH1 had no strafing and locking on was kinda useless. So no...

What do you mean locking on is useless?

Since when was no strafing bad? You were so mobile in KH1 that you either had to devote to defending or focus on mobility. Not really bad combat just a different mechanic.

I can just say DS was a Tank n Spank. Woooo.

So what... Think what you want...

People need to grow up and accept that Demons Souls broke action rpgs and from now on, action rpgs need to take lessons from DS...

And like I said, yea kingdom hearts 1 had good combat. But it didnt set precedents like DS did...

So your argument is "You disagree with me. W.e DS is the norm now cus I said so. Any game that is an A-RPG and isn't similar is bad."

If your not even going to try and argue your point your opinion isn't validated.
