This combat sucks

It sucks with both.

the whole thing sucks.

They're both trash games, lol.

Yeah it's not terribly exciting, wish the monster fights were a bit more involved but the prep work was half the fun

How about complaining about actually bad things instead of fiahing for (You)s.

I'm really interested to know what you don't think sucks

Barely any weapon variety.
Quen is basically shield and might as well been made it by default.
Crossbow is useless.
Useful powers take waaaaaay to long to unlock.
The hilarious part is all the XP is locked behind the cinematics so unless you really got the gear for the quest (Looking at you Werewolf by the Spirit Tree) you're royally fucked.

I mean, it's not bad, but it wasn't thought out properly. Frankly, it's the monster design and world that made it interesting.

You could sneak past that werewolf easy, by jumping over the rocks onto the place of power and running into the cave

I just went around the werewolf

Nigga, I want to KILL MONSTERS, that's the fucking point.
I explored for a good 30 minutes until I found a place with a Silver Sword that could deal enough damage to the fucker and made him my bitch.

I still really wish they had implemented a sneak system even though I get that's not how witchers roll

>Crossbow is useless

tell that to the griffin on a small island that I hit with a manually aimed long-range shot when it was high in the air, causing it to fall into the water and die instantly

You let water do your dirty work?
Boy, were did you parents go wrong with you?

No but seriously, hopefully the next game makes XP based on actions and kills, lax on the unlocking of powers and adds some extra moves and weapons.

>Crossbow is useless.
Isn't the idea that it gives you a way to shoot down flying enemies, and a simple way to fight while sailing (where it does much more damage)? I don't think it was ever intended to actually be a part of the regular combat.

yeah this user has it down
I think the worst part is how easy it is just to spam dodge + quick attack as you can get to level 5 and make your quick attacks deal just as much damage as a strong attack which immediately makes them useless
that and the only useful signs are quen and aard, aaxi & yrden are gimmicky as hell and igni is fucking shit unless you spend a ton of stats into it
im pissed at how many monsters exist that are literally just reskins, see
>Spriggans & Leshens
>Werewolves & Ulfheidinns
>Chorts & Fiends
>Harpies & Sirens
>almost every vampire

Or just become an unkilliable tank via potions and ursine gear then spam rend with severance.

>that quest in blood & wine where you have to race against a timer and hit shit on your horse
>tfw I spent several hours on that one fucking bit
>the reward was a shitty fucking sword that I never used

It's fun when you get the right mods that perfectly balance the difficulty. On my playthrough I was pretty much utilising every single mechanic that I could while bouncing all over the place like a madman.

In GOG you can get the concert movie for free

yeah dark souls is pretty dull.

In other news: Water is wet

It's just boring as hell. Something's missing from W3...

Arachnomorphs

I wish there was proper modding, I think the game would be an order of magnitude more fun if each sign had an individual cooldown

Post the drowners copypasta

You want the game even easier then? kys

It plays better with controller desu

People that say TW3 combat sucks are retard
Is nothing too special but it is pretty fun if you actually use the moves you have, like the different dodges, parries and spells

what? no.

I think stamina + individual cooldown to force people to not just faceroll the exact same way, maybe 30-60 seconds per sign
I think the combat needs fundamental reworking to be more about strategic hits a la monster hunter
and I think the monster AI needs reworking to be more about patterns rather than auto-evade-counter attack

>this combat sucks
wow i've never heard that on Yea Forums before. truly profound.

I grew bored of this game after Geralt returns to Kaer Morhen and now I don't have the incentive to finish it. Welp, at least I got close to 100 hours out of it.

yeah devil may cry is a pile of shit

>(Looking at you Werewolf by the Spirit Tree)
THSI FUCKING NIGGER, I'm still mad.

there has never been a good 3D action game. play a beltscroller like final fight.

You can use aard to knock down flying enemies. The crossbow only exists for the shitty underwater "combat"

Wrong Bucko it's a deep action rpg with many builds and skills.

>twirls around like a fucking ballerina
best rpg ever made lmao

People said that about TW2's combat as well, and those people were wrong, dumb and smelly.

snoozefest

>not speccing into alchemy
>not OPERATING with oils and bombs and shit
>not cleaving through hordes with 100% crit rate and 200% crit damage after the first kill
>not face-tanking griffons, drakes, etc.
