Dont understand me wrong, devs make a good combat system. But I compare it with the “earlier version” see minute 37
It was 2 years old , but looks faster, smoother and the animation let see some impact the actual combat dont have. Henry looks on his wounded hand etc.
Why looks the much older version better to me? Is it because it was faster and smoother?
I agree with you. Faster = better.
Imo you will be faster when you level up, keep in mind that your combat skill in the current alpha is very low.
Do you think that your attacks will be faster and that is obviusly visible? The earlier version was faster at all. Enemy did faster react, attack and parry but also player did faster attack and parry. And i can remember a video where victor
said that they decrease the speed in combat.
It is way simpler though. Yes, simple things are often the best fun, but I like the current deeper version more. It still needs polishing. Maybe not so fast but pretty tense. You really have to watch how your opponent moves and there are a lot of possibilities how to react.
And leveling is supposed to change the game too so hopefully we get some action aswel
The speed of combat could be settable there may be players who prefer to play differently not focused on combat but on other game mechanics instead. I personally think a challenging and fast combat sys would be nice. Also one should be able to disable the slow down effect when timing a block perfectly.
That sounds doable through modding if nothing else, but I don’t see a reason not to add those features, if they have time.
Well I definitely agree that slowmotion parry is distracting somewhat, and even redundant. I mean, slowmotion is best used, to give player more time to react, but this slowmo starts after you successfully parry, so it has no use and just breaks the tempo and rhythm of combat.
+1 vote to remove slow motion parry. Its like ‘bullet time’ and gets old very quickly as well as said above, takes you out of the moment. Add pleasing sound effect in its stead -that never gets old.
The slowmotion animations are the only nice animation in the game in m opinion. The devs can create better timings during this moves. In real fight you have some moments that you reconize at a very long.
I like the slow motion.
