Dragon age inquisition combat is crap

[Gravoth_iii]

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

It's just that people are starting to expect the multi-million dollar budget games to actually have some decent combat after all this time, but i guess thats too much to ask..

[Xant]

It's not, but, surprise surprise - people have different opinions on what "decent combat" is. One man's shitty combat is one man's great combat. Witcher's combat system has also split opinions. It's just ignorant to say "wow, what a bad combat system" just because YOU don't like it.

The Witchers combat is meh imo. I havent heard anyone saying it was very good, nor do I think there are a lot of people who think so. In W-s case its bad or meh, the games strenghts lie in other things. And I think Inquisition is meh aswell. But I can see why people like it. DA-s combat is tactical RPG combat, which should be graded different from Witcher or Warband, which is single characters melee combat. If you think it like that, its rather solid imo.

I like both...

Honestly can't see the complaint. It's what I expect out of RPGs.

I never use the tactical part on Dragon Age. Have never ever seen the point.

There are a lot of people who think TW2's combat is good, especially on the hardest difficulty settings.

Wasnt it just doing asston of barrelrolls on the ground and constantly using that lightningshieldthingy? Granted, its reflexbased, but still.

Is group combat still there? I remember combatsystem of DAO primary becouse of the possibility to give quite detailed combat-orders to party members.  I never really put emphasis in fighting with my char.

Further Daragon Ages strength was storytelling not the fights...

However, pls let it have some of old Dragon Age command system, it was nice. For actionstyle 1st/3rd person egofighting there is enough other stuff.

Meh sure, let us just use antique mmo combat for the sake of it...

Well, there is tactical mode, but using it is a pain in the ass.

I agree there, but that does not mean they dont have to try. The combat as of now feels incredibly shallow, shame really, considering they went with the pain of implementing physics and what not...

Good combat system is expected of a game that is fairly combat centered. If you botch it, the game will end up boring and repetitive. I mostly pulled through DAO because of the story and how fleshed out the characters were.

Hate to say it, but the only newer rpgs that got the combat at least decently right were the dark souls games imo...
I mean, the system there was fairly unresponsive and heavy handed, but it had most of the essentials (blocking, parrying, dodging etc.) included.

There are a lot of people who think TW2's combat is good, especially on the hardest difficulty settings.

Played it recently, despite some animation and ai screw ups (and ignoring the weird animations for 1H weapons), the combat in TW 2 was one of the best ive come to contact with. It is intuitive and keeps things fun.
