Some players are cheesy like this... a bit like playing 1h cav in crpg.
When west germany annexed east germany, nobody moved a finger too.

I wouldn't call it cheesy to spam 1 button over and over again when it's in line with the design decision.

The ultimate Shadow of Mordor master. A mindless automaton could "play" this "game". Cinematics where your input is irrelevant.

It's the player's decision to play like this. Just because it's possible doesn't mean you should do it.
Just because rolfcopter spears were possible in crpg doesn't mean you should be a dick and play like that. :P

Shadow of Mordor had a lot more options when fighting than spam and it's your own fault if you don't use them. You're missing out on really nice combat when you don't. Your choice.
Same goes for the Nemesis system a lot of people criticised as bland and boring. It is if you just go about and slay them all. If you actually start using all the options it was offering, it was brilliant imo.

Was the game perfect? No. Was it shit? No.
It had lot of new stuff compared to other games. Just took a little effort from the player to actually get there.

But hey, it's Oberyn...  :lol:

The game and the combat system has the depth of a puddle on a sidewalk. Unsurprised that Molly can find enjoyment in it years after release, though. Makes perfect sense.

Just because you didn't understand and see the available options in it, does not make it bad. :shrug:

...but hey, 1h cav in crpg was really deep tho, huh?

Compared to this shit? Yes, it's practically rocket science. Lol at comparing multiplayer Warband to something as shallow as this lowest common denominator retard kiddie console tripe. I don't remember you ever being even slightly good at any class, Molly. I can see why a game that handholds and coddles you this much would be such a favorite.

People think 1hcav is easy but it is pretty hard to master. Elmer had some strange hybrid build which wasn't great at any specialization but he was one hell of 1hcav. His build was 1hcav/HA.

To be good 1hcav you need to be exceptional lancer, because knowing your reach and having excellent timing is by far the most important thing. Also you need to be sneaky bastard who always comes from behind. Shorter the cav weapon, more skill it takes to be good with it. I was always terrible at lancing, which translates to being terrible 1hcav as well.

1h footmen, especially with STR build, now that is easy mode if you ask me.

Edit: Why are we even comparing this game for simpletons to a game like Warband which is delicate as it gets?

Yes, being really good and awesome in a multiplayer game like Warband is something to gloat and brag with.
You seem to really lead a miserable little life if that is something you even remotely consider as achievement.

Well, since you need something for your ego, it seems...

Yes Oberyn, you were a really strong and deadly warrior in that niche MP mod! You're a very good person through it! Be proud of yourself!

That guy is retarded, for so many reasons. One of them being that he brags about how he's "invincible and killing shit" when he activates a special ability that's 20 seconds of free rampaging by just pressing F. "Omg look I got the rhythm down!" There is no fucking rhythm because the whole point of that (tier 5, and it is pretty OP so I rarely use it) ability is that you can just spam F and kill people once you have charged it.

He's trying his hardest to be negative, and isn't making any sense. "Oh look I can just left click- oh I'm being attacked so I have to right click, uh, wait, how do I make that seem gay too.. uh... I could block even though I already started attacking! Oh, I can just left click hahah- uh, this guy has a shield, better jump over him, but let's say it in a sarcastic edgy voice so it sounds like I didn't have to do anything again."

He also does get hit, more than a few times, and he has ALL the combat upgrades. And no mention of how you can't left click berserkers, and he's not fighting any bosses, etc etc. The whole over-the-top sarcastic voice and disingenuous presentation showcases his autism better than the flaws of SoMordor's combat system.

And of course the retard is playing with combat prompts enabled, which makes it ten times easier, and still complains about it.
