What do you think would make the combat better?

more spinning

Actual difficulty

It is pretty brainded Batman arkham combat. You just click click click to attack, spam quen, and dodges depended more on timing rather than proper hitbox. There's only 2 special moves, whirl and rend both of which can be spammed and made the combat even more braindead. It made absolutely no difference whether you're fighting cockatrice, just random wolves, or big game giants and cyclops. The only special battle where enemies have phases were Imlerith and the final boss. Even then the hitboxes are so jank that it is more of a rhythm game than anything.

The combat is perfect. The AI just needs to be fixed.

Bamham is literally perfect combat. Its being held back by AI that literally does nothing for 90% of it. If the AI understood the rules of the game and could actually attempt decent strategies/ formations / ability usage, it would be much much more satisfying.

I still go back and watch videos from the witcher 3 where monsters use abilities I never saw fucking once despite fighting them 100s of times.

Everyone says the combat is so easy, but I feel like enemies are amazing at dodging almost everything. It made it kind of repetitive.

I thought it was fine for an RPG. Not every game needs to be a DMC or Ninja Gaiden.

It got a proper physical release on PC with the Complete Edition and is the only major game to do so in years so it gets a pass

If they're standing still then they will dodge. Bait them to attack, dodge, hit back. You do this for every single enemy every single time until you die of boredom.

Play on death march

I would have made it a hack and slash personally the combat is okay but the builds don't work as well as they should and I feel as though they should have put there eggs in one basket.

>Not every game needs to be a DMC or Ninja Gaiden.
It could be at least on the level of Nier or Kingdom Hearts

Does anyone else just spam fast attack over and over

I think the combat is fine 2bh
The only issue is that it's too easy once you get the dodge timing down for everything.
People that believe it's shit are hyperbolic idiots.

>Geralt has been in tons of collaborations
>Each one has better combat than Witcher 3
how true is this?

If Geralt did less flippy dippy piroutte bullshit, or if you were allowed to cancel out of it. Can't keep track of the number of times that Geralt decided to dance like a ballerina while getting eviscerated by 2 soldiers and die before he finished his leap on harder difficulties.

Yes playing him in MHW is so much more fun. You're an actual monster hunter now, rather than errand fetch boy for multiple people

Except the RPG stuff like proper quests and exploration are shit aswell.

The sword attacks don't feel like they're impactful. In the base game, many different enemies feel like you fight them the same way, dodge dodge dodge then attack 3 times.

Geralt is fun to play in Soul Calibur 6

Gerald loves it. It made him feel wanted. Poor lad.

combat is not even the worst part of the game.
they reduced the vast open world game to "follow the shiny stuff on the minimap". you could play witcher 3 in chinese and still understand everything. this is for over 90% of the content completely stupid as they point you out well enough with dialog, books, notes, etc. they just had to add a morrowind-like journal and make minimap tracking option, and the game would have been instantly ten times better.
the quest with "choices" are almost always irrelevant, and sometimes you actually get FAIL the quest if you choose option B. there are quest like that "repair shrines" quest where you are supposed to kill 4 unarmed students because they are breaking down some shrines you literally don't give a shit about. if you fuck out of there and let them live you literally fail the quest.
most of the "good guy" choices give you a lot of bonus exp. it's like kotor 2 all over again. no point in playing anything but good guy geralt.
nearly all the bad guys are so stereotypically bad, it's painful. the lowest grade villains like the kind you see in cartoons.
crafting and alchemy are very unsettisfying. i swear I remember even witcher 1 having better alchemy system.
even besides all of its shortcomings, witcher 3 felt great and is overall a good game, but it could have been a timeless masterpiece. oh well

It is nothing like Arkham combat.
