Kalfear: LOL well im old as dirt as well (45) and Ive actually swung a sword before so lets get rid of the "realistic" BS all ready! A sword fighter doesnt flip and roll and tumble like your forced to do in The Witcher 2!
To many kids throw around this "realistic" tag far to easy!
This IS Twitch button mashing combat, not stratagy/tactical combat!
Having said all that Ive accepted the twitch aspect and just stopped thinking and started buttom mashing with occational roll away to heal up and Im winning every combat now. The trick to TW2 combat is ...
DONT OVERTHINK IT! Its still terrible combat for a RPG IMO, but not as broken as I originally thought yesterday!
Thats about the best I can say for the combat.
Im 45 and my freinds are a few years younger or few (up to 20) years older and not one likes this combat.
This combat was designed by kids for kids and thats a shame when you look at the rest of the game and keep in mind what age group was targetted (legally).
I would have enjoyed a tactical and strategic system much much more but ill raise the F- to a C- now, but thats as high as it goes from me folks.
Thank god the rest of game (with one exception) is so much better!
Well I never used the word "realistic" anywhere in my post. Not sure where you got that from.
Anyway, if you want to tank and button mash your way through the game, that's your business. But if you really take some time and learn to use the system, you won't have to button mash. Your enemy's will be dropping like fly's in your wake.
rivo101: LOL as the starter of this thread, i would like to take back what i said, the combat is alot better once you get better, you cant just rely on your sword, u have to use everything you have:)
That's all I'm saying. You really do need all the tools at your disposal, to survive. If you take the time to learn to use them, it makes combat much more fun and satisfying.
