Some of the worst combat in any game I have played in over 30 years.

As bad as in Witcher 3?

1v1 is great, fighting multiple opponents sucks.
Most people seem to hate it for being to easy once you get good gear but I liked it.
If I kit myself out in heavy plate with the best weapons, I should be able to become a walking tank and OHKO people.

I've found people who call it awful usually don't know how to play it. I think it was pretty decent, unique if anything.
It does get much easier with a certain skill that's easy to miss out on.

initially sucks shit and can stay shit the whole game if you never do the optional training missions to unlock the majority of the moveset.
once you get the hang of it its still not intuitive but extremely satisfying when you kill someone.

Not an answer to your question, but I've never seen this movie before. Looks interesting. Gonna check it out thanks OP.

i didnt like the peasants with sticks parrying me

What is it from?

Which one

Probably the one that has a "chance" to knock out an enemy with a head strike. That triggers every other hit for me.

Witcher 3 having bad combat is such as stupid meme. Kingdom Come is an actual example of truly awful gameplay. I could only finish the game because I enjoyed the story and characters.

What elese do you enjoy?

Its sick, really satisfying. Especially whrn you can afford a fine blade and suit of armor.

I know that it sucks because I got good at it. It is horrible if you don't learn it, and it is just bad even when you do learn it.

FAGGOT GOT FILTERED

Thanks!

This, you have to actually go seek combat training to learn the full moveset

Depends on how you treat it
>use the bow to open fights
>switch to two handed sword and mix ripostes with 3 chain hit combos when the opponent is open to them
pretty good
>using a two handed sword and exclusively riposting endlessly
not good
>use the mace and shield, push your face into the opponent causing a grapple that you automatically win because your strength is higher, opening them up to an overhead that will either knock them out or kill them instantly
jesus christ how horrifying

Its similar to mount and blade but in first person and deeper

also I'd like to add that your only choices to deal with incoming arrows is either to wield a shield or cover every inch of your body in armor is pretty gay, I kept trying to make a min-max set where I was mostly protected where it mattered and yet stylish and light, and every time I just kept running into the problem of stray arrows and lucky hits wiping me the fuck out

Playing rock paper scissors against a computer is always shit

What happened to the guy who got his sword stuck in a tree? Surely he was killed immediately, right? What a dumb rookie mistake.

Getting the dog trained to fight really helped when I was facing 2 people.

Despite employing a real time system it's still largely stat based, so it leaves a different kind of bad impression depending on how much or little you grind it, it can seem unfair and like the combos are impossible to pull off since your followup attacks are always blocked or trivially easy and like combos are a waste of time since it's quicker and easier to just keep swinging absent strategy.

The real strength of KCD is in its immersive and simulation qualities which are indeed very good and give strong TES: Oblivion vibes.

Yeah, I remember something along the lines of Warfare skill also increasing your attack speed enabling you to actually complete combos when you have high enough skill.
Honestly, I found just going for head pokes most of the time with that one skill that increases chance to injure/bleed is just balls to the wall. Fuckers just go down when when I'm barely getting my groove on.
On heavy helmets wearing fuckers, it can still happen just the chance is smaller. Encountered a heavily armored knight inside some god forsaken outhouse one time and I poked head stabbed him a few times and instant down.
Fug, Now I need to replay the game, played it before the enhanced edition came out iirc. love that layered clothing system

I think it's in the top-5 of best games in like whole last decade, but I'm biased.

Janky but I still enjoyed it. I give the game a lot of credit for incorporating how armor affects stamina/vision, but also saves your life. Fights against groups are pretty bad, especially on uneven ground, but that just encourages you to pull back and try to find areas where you only have to face 2 or 3 foes at a time.
Also, I still can't figure out what exactly triggers the "perfect counter" one hit KO. It seems to just be a percentage chance on a parry?

Good game but you need to give it time to learn shit. Once you do you become OP, but its rewarding getting there.
