What games have the best melee combat?

GTA V's melee combat is pretty fun to fool around with. I love running behind someone and knocking them down with one punch lol.

Sleeping Dogs was good, but it's said that it's just ripped straight from the Arkham games.

Jackie Chan

The Yakuza series
Sleeping Dogs

Only if you install mods. Knocking someone out in one hit of ANYTHING is annoying as fuck in GTA V.

Same thing applies with knifes. Knifing someone is fun as fuck in GTA games, but in GTA V it's shit because it's always instakill.

can you learn new moves in arkham?

special moves, yes

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

The combat is better than 1 but it's not a better game by far. simply due to the fus roh da bullshit.

The Warriors still absolute, Urban Reign is the second.

Dying light and Exanima. I like Exanima much more but it still in early-access and Dying light get old quick.

>good combat
>mash one button

Shenmue 2 had a great combat system but you basically never used it the entire game despite learning kung fu in the game

Heavenly Sword
God of War
Virtua Fighter

This.
I haven't seen a game that ever topped this game with its the combination of clever stealth, creative magic, brutal combat, and environment manipulation.

That and the Lunar Staff.

Still though, that game had some fun as fuck weapons to use.

>dem Vigoorian Flails
>dem Tonfa

When the fuck are they coming back for the fourth game, Team Ninja?

God Hand
Bayonetta
Ninja Gaiden Black
DMC3

GTA V melee combat was a huge downgrade from IV

Sleeping Dogs has awful combat made for drooling retards. Don't play it. Try Urban Reign.

only bad thing about sleeping doogs combat is that you can´t disable those visual warnings when you are about to get hit. Fuck, i´d pay 20 more bucks if i could rid of them

Good taste, m8

There is no bigger power gap in gaming than that between God Hand and other melee games.

Batman is ripping off Jackie Chan Stuntmaster in the first place.
