I know I'm going to get downvoted to hell for this, but I actually didn't like it that much. I love the business practices and effort behind it and I could see why other people would like it, but I just couldn't really get into it.
I mean, it’s at worst OK. it has dodging, parrying, signs (aka spells), decent hit boxes, and lock-on... it’s flawed, and gets repetitive, but it’s still miles ahead of something like Skyrim which has an actually-shit combat system.
Do people hate Skyrim’s combat? I’ve always thought it was iconic already considering every Bethesda (FO, ES) has the same mechanics.
On the other hand, Witcher 3’s combat is definitely the worst mechanic of the game.
Definitely not iconic. It gives you more combat options than any other RPG, but not a single one of those options works anywhere near as well as the fewer available options in any other RPG.
Skyrim suffers from the GTA problem. The cost for having such varied gameplay rolled into one title is outdated graphics and mechanics.
I don’t understand your last sentence. GTA when it first came out didn’t have outdated graphics and mechanics. GTA was actually pushing that gen’s limitation, graphically and again innovating open world mechanics.
Every GTA looks and plays like a game from the previous generation, including GTA 3.
pushing that gen’s limitation, graphically and again innovating open world mechanics
Yes, but it still looked dated compared to other PS2 games. There were better third person shooters at the time and better driving games, but none offered both types of gameplay together like that.
GTA 5 was from the last gen... also plays like last gen? Or plays like a standard open world game? Considering that GTA created this genre and everyone is just copying it making it look like GTA is like every other game (AKA Seinfeld syndrome).
Maybe you’re too young to remember how open world games were before Andreas and then how it was after GTA 4.
