Why's there negativity around TW3's combat?

anyone who has played any souls game will see a gulf of quality between them and Witcher games in regards to combat

>These jap loving Yea Forums faggots don't know shit about gaming, don't ever form your opinions based on ideas from here.
This isn't just a Yea Forums idea I see this quite commonly. It's even mentioned on the wikipedia reception page about how the combat is criticised. Meanwhile I don't even get why because I loved every second of it. I guess when geralt decides to do some super long spin animation and gets hit it's annoying, but whatever, not a big deal.

Put down the crack pipe bud, it's only amazing compared to garbage combat like TES. I strongly recommend you actually play other rpgs.

If you think the Witcher 3 is even comparable to those ''jap'' ARPGs like Dragon's dogma and the Souls games you are fucking delusional or mentally handicapped.

Standard or Alternate movement? I'm trying to decide what to use and I can't click with either.

No rhythm hoe detected

Its shit, gave the game a go but dropped it due to the boring combat.

Alternate

It was the only tactic of the bloodbourne autist that was making W3 threads for 5 years every day posting the same webms and pictures.

The entire game revolves around the storyline. Nobody in their right mind expected really good combat, and the result was more than acceptable.

Is a even jankier Arkham combat style, the comparison with Souls combat makes no sense beyond using swords.

I dont want to play a game where 80% of the game, the combat, is a slog.

>people unironically think TW3 has better combat than bloodborne
Alright, I'm checking out of this thread before I have an aneurysm. Witcher 1 and 2 both have better combat than 3 btw, 3's combat isn't bad but it's definitely not good.

If something isn't the most amazing and best thing ever then the only alternative is that it's shit, according to most people on Yea Forums.
In reality the combat is just mediocre.

>combat isn't bad but it's definitely not good
One of these things is not like the other.

>the combat is just mediocre
I enjoyed it a lot. Especially loved using bombs, ended up being plenty of fun with the alchemy perks.

It’s actually good against humans in high difficulty
Combat against monsters are uninspired spamfest tho

>ended up being plenty of fun
No you didn't.

I wouldn't call it "bad combat", it's just a valid form of combat. What is bad about it is sponge monsters. Also I fucking hate the concept of doing alchemy to get +10% damage against a very specific enemy type. And yeah I know that late game alchemy gets better but it just feels like you're abusing perks instead of actually doing alchemy, you know?

Never heard of mediocre? middling? moron.

I liked TW3's combat. The addition of signs, bombs and crossbows helped add strategy.

>No you didn't
Nah I definitely was having fun.

Then you need to play more games.

I've played plenty of games. Doesn't stop me from having fun though. I even had fun with Kenshi's and Skyrim's combat.

>Skyrim's combat
the fact you defaulted to shitrim instead of any other TES game shows that yes, you do need to play more games. I recommended Skyrim 0.5, some memers call it Morrowind.

Play Dragon's Dogma though.

If he'd said he had fun with Boreblivion or Morrowdice combat that would have been worrying.

Yeah I enjoyed morrowind's combat too despite the constant missing in the beginning. Skyrim's is undeniably better though, despite the lack of spells.

I dislike all TES games but saying Skyrim on default is a bit worrying and falls into what I meant by not playing enough games.

To much animation for a single button press. Stop twirling around you dumb fuck other than that I enjoyed the magic based attacks even if they were OP.

It hasn’t surpassed DMC1 and it doesn’t have a Turbo Duel section so therefore its combat is terrible.

they nerfed the fun stuff instead of fixing actual bugs.

>Leagues better than TW2 and every other similar type of game for sure.
Couldn't agree less, witcher 2 combat is way better, it has emphasis on preparation and doesn't have retarded bullshit like eating bread and drinking water while in the middle of a fight to heal. you have to use potions, or weapon effects do do things like that as you should. Witcher 3 combat is generic western shit

>It doesn’t NEED good combat
This is (you) right now.

Name your top 10 3D action-adventure game combat

Nah

Can't name 10 off the top of my head but in no particular order
>Sekiro
>DS3
>KC:D
>Dragon's Dogma
>Dying Light
>Bloodborne
>BOTW
>TW3

>Couldn't agree less, the game forces modern combat instead of archaic bullshit that only old fucks like
oh no! it appealed to the market!

Then don't?

>didn't mention elden ring but mentions DS3
Okay, cmon now. It's literally the same thing but improved, I get it, Elden Ring is real fucking popular so you can't mention it. Fucking contrarians.

Meds

TW3 combat is literally just a worse Arkham/AssCreed. Not only is the combat shit but it has one of the worst open worlds ever.

Imagine having worse gameplay than fucking AssCreed. Lmao.

Kill yourself witcher tranny

>It's literally the same thing but improved
I think so in a lot of ways, but I had a lot more fun with DS3, at least after Morgott. Elden Ring just became a lot less fun after that, DS3 held up better for me. Ashes of Ariandel had shit bosses though, except for Friede who totally made up for it.

I dunno about improved. Poise still seems to be random and you now have the ability to jump but barely any enemies have attacks that are best avoided by jumping over them

Its better than dark souls thats for sure
my only complaint about the combat is that it doesn't have enough bosses

It's LITERALLY the same combat and movesets with added shit like jump attacks and ashes.

>Its better than dark souls thats for sure
good one bro, almost had me

ashes are just a temporary easy mode button

That's wrong and you know it's wrong, unless your only experience is sppamming rivers of blood and hoarfrost stomp. There's like 100 or more different attacks you can add with them.

lol nevermind I thought you meant spirit ashes
ashes of war are cool yeah

>Why's there negativity around TW3's combat?
Because it's fucking terrible.

tw3 has to be one of the most overrated video games out there. it's the epitome of these pseudo-rpgs where it's just an action game with dialogue and it pretends like you're discovering things by highlighting the path to things that are "hidden"

Are you dumb? What's an RPG to you?
