Dragon age inquisition combat is crap

[Nightmare798]

Like seriously? Hold LMB to keep attacking? Even state of decay has better combat than this. I really had high expectations considering it was in develompment for 3 years, but honestly this sucks. They went all the trouble to remove the ''on rails'' ascepct of the previous games by adding physics and jumping, only to forget about combat like that. It is almost as if they were like they went in the right direction, then said ''fuck it, lets just copy the previous games regarding combat''.

Shame on you EA...

What were you expecting? Directional combat?

Personally I'm enjoying the combat a lot. Mages are still OP though. I've gone the electric/rift mage route and atm everything dies so fast.

They absolutely did NOT "copy the previous games regarding combat"; DAI has very little to do with DAO's combat. Many people like DAI's combat, myself included. One of the best combat systems of any RPG ever... probably the best, in fact. If you're "holding LMB" to fight, then you're doing it wrong. I suggest you play on Nightmare (lulz) and then maybe play something other than an archer. DW Rogues and shielders are the most fun and engaging classes to play, where you have skills that take good reflexes and you're constantly using at least one skill.

I don't get what are they waiting for, make the masterpiece everyone's expecting; KOTOR 3. Fuck dragon age, never liked the series, fuck mass effect, that I enjoyed tbf, gimmie a fucking sequel to the only rpg comparable to fable

Okay I will be plain, I expected something more than just that wowish crap with da universe slapped on top. There is no tension in combat, no thrill, and it once again boils down to ''left click a target and watch it die, use an ability sometimes too'' FUCK THAT, YOU NEED TO HOLD THE LMB TO ATTACK YOUR ENEMIES!!! I-NOH-WAY-SHOON!!!

This crap was not worth three years of development, not even close. I mean sheesh, at least DAO combat worked properly most of the time...

Which difficulty are you playing on?

Which difficulty are you playing on?

I do not believe that the speed of how fast numbers flow and in what incrementals really matters. Playing on hard btw, I dont like to thread the thin ice walking...

EDIT: I am fairly sure everyone remembers assasins creed games. The combat there was not very challenging (especially when brotherhood came around), but what did it have? Blocking, dodging, counter attacks and so on...

You could really feel it when you atacked your enemy, and he blocked the strke by completely redirecting your hit, or the finishers, when you brutally butchered your enemy, leaving him bloodied on the dirty ground...

There is none of that here, just another basic mmoish stuff, but crap you can jump, at least that is something...

Huh? If you aren't playing on the hardest difficulty, how can you whine that there's no tension, no thrill, and it's just LMB-down?

If you want a game with actiony combat play a game with actiony combat, like Dark Souls?

Nightmare do you enjoy complaining just for the sake of it or something?
