How would you fix rpg combat?

How would you fix rpg combat?

Take the witcher 3, complete ass combat, but so many people defend it by saying "how would you fix it?"

well, Sup Forums?
how would you fix it?

Make it like it was in Witcher 2.

How in the FUCK is it even possible to make pancakes like that.

Japan needs to stop this shit right now. I can't take being so mediocre at everything I do with Japan shitting in my face on everything.

Do you have more webms like this? Only other one I've seen was Madoka flipping you off.

You can feel good knowing it taste like garbage, it's all crisp and no fluff.

You dont need to be jealous over a completely useless talent.

everything you can do, japan can make kawaii.

They fail at life. You can be relieved with that. Oh wait

>completely useless
>people would pay for pancake commissions

Clearly 2 nukes weren't enough.

a Canadian man came up with this kind of art he made pictures of zoo animals on BBC

Make it turn-based.

make everything dark souls combat

Canadian man invented cooking food in layers.

Ok, whatever.

Not every game needs to be a Souls game, memelord.

This shit has been around for centuries, this isn't anything new.

He said ''fix'', not ''completely fucking ruin''. Learn to read.

Witcher 3 combat ass?

It's not as bad as the combat in previous Witcher games at least.

Personally I'm a fan of turn based combat and really think we should return to it.

I think action RPGs were a nice experiment but they never truly reached the depths of a good turn based game.

video game license to keep scrubs like you away from games. go blog about it somewhere else

They're just totally different games. It's like turn based strategy vs real time strategy. You wouldn't compare Civilization to Starcraft. Or at least I wouldn't.

Make all western RPG developers sit down and play Dragon's Dogma.

RPGs are hard to make with good combat. I think my favorite rpg combat was probably Dragons Dogma. It was still a little rough but that is the best you are going to get I think RPG wise anyway. Especially if you don't like turn based.

Some people, myself included, like thin and crispy pancakes.

Mein negroiden

now i have an excuse to post this

The experiment failed, real time action RPGs and real time Strategy are both trash.

There's good reason RTS died and TBS had such a resurgence. People realized once you take out the turn basis it just turns to shit.

Same thing is happening with RPGs, soon everything with be good ol' Turn Based again and games will be better for it.

>tfw you lived to see the real time meme die

What about FPS/RPG's like Mass Effect and Deus Ex? Do you not like those either? Personally those are the only FPS type games I DO like but to each his own.

Depends if the RPG get in the way of the FPS or vice versa.

I think Stalker is the better example. It's just enough RPG to give you motivation to keep playing and give you that sense of progression but so much that you're speccing character builds and half pretending you're playing an RPG when it really comes down to how well you click on the enemies heads.

The whole 'my character's hands are wiggling because I didn't put enough points into pistols' is retarded.

Make it like dark souls

>The whole 'my character's hands are wiggling because I didn't put enough points into pistols' is retarded.
That´s your opinion, but not one you can rationally justify.

Isn't that what they did with Witcher 3?

It stole the roll-slash-slash-roll-slash-slash combat from Souls and it boring as fuck.

>Touhou
Have you learned nothing?
Must I BEAT some sense into you?

this is true for strategy but definitely not for rpgs

turn based rpgs are the worst, everyone has a weird nostalgia boner for them because of games they never played like baldurs gate, we end up with shit like PoE and Original Sin and they're both trash

Those are crepes not pancakes.

Varg er en dust!

Witcher 3 had ok combat it just that the enemies had too much health.

>they would even be able to get past the bandits

I loves TW3 combat and felt it was more dynamic than dark souls thanks to side step and how parry works (compared to souls) . The meme about bad combat will eventually die

>Dark Souls combat
>good

What about the "only two weapons "meme? How do you want to get rid of it, as it clearly limits the combat, making it barely existing.

It can't be fixed.

Once a game's combat stops being bad, people stop calling it an RPG and start calling it a shooter/action/adventure/whatever game "with RPG elements".

...

its fine

everything doesn't have to be dark souls

some people suck at games or don't want to try very hard and enjoy a narrative

Just play a different game

a witcher isnt some powerhouse carrying around nine different swords friend

You can try.

Same shit with Souls games, unless you're telling me that you actually pack 4 weapons, instead of tools like shields or a bow or the odd useful spell/pyromancy.

Though I heavily doubt that you used more than a single weapon anyway. Plus, Geralt has his crossbow in 3, between that, the swords, signs and bombs, there's a lot of variety to the combat.

that's rather detailed

still my favorite though, this one has real personality

They draw lines and colours with food coloured dough one by one on surface and when done they turn heat on and wait a bit to bake it and then flip it around.

You just need to know how to draw.

lol good one

More combat like Mount and Blade

That's so fucking sexual

It's as simple as combo buttons. Games like Dark Souls have very few options for creative input.

2 buttons 3 deep is 8 "combos". 3 and 3 is 27.

This is why a good action game would be better than any ARPG. Combos are freedom.

>filename

Witcher 3 combat is great, you just sux at it and smash sword all over place like pleb.
Try to use strategy
>bombs
>parry
>dodge
>deflect arrows
>signs
>Elixirs
roll, shash, dodge, throw gas bomb then use igni to fire it up. Just think a bit

>MY OPINIONS ARE FACT - The Thread

Seriously, you faggots spouting out "RTS AND ACTION RPGs ARE TRASH! THE COMBAT IN WITCHER 3 IS TRASH! DURR!" like it's a well known fact are complete asshats.

State your goddamn opinions as opinions. Witcher 3 combat is fine. Oh, and to the fucking faggots claiming "RTS and Action RPGs are failed experiments" - FUCK YOU.

Combos are cancer.

>combos
you mean stunlocking the enemy(s) for 30 seconds with no risk?

you tie different attack animations to different button combinations. That's basically it.

Have fun trying to roll your sugary taco shell up and eat it like a normal person would

I liked Gothic 2 combat system.
Press LMB+arrow to hit in specific direction / RMB + arrow to block Was realistic

>all action games are DMC

dang that's detailed.

This is probably the only one that doesn't taste like shit. Only one problem. Whip cream is garbage.


Also just make all combat like Dark Souls. It's involved and mechanical yet allows for a multitude of skills and abilities so you can have many classes. On the switch side you could do like Chivalry or Dark Messiah. Either way, I don't feel it's that hard if that's where the devs are focusing.
