I played it on the PS4 and PC and while it's more tolerable with a controller it's still dreadfully shite, especially since I've been playing Bloodborne, which poo poo bosses aside had you actually control your character exactly as you liked, not either spring around like a retard all the time. Combat is anything but sloppy. And durability is poo poo and pointless, yes.

I don't have a problem with the combat? I dunno what to say. Stop comparing it to Bloodborne.

Mercrom posted:It's not very different though. The combat system is similar to Ninja Gaiden, but way clunkier and less thought out. I've never played Ninja Gaiden so I can't comment, but again I have to say I have no issues with the combat. I find it fun and actiony with enough strategy using the dodges and signs/items to keep things interesting.

I'm really enjoying the combat, actually. Yeah, it's not super TIGHT, but it's pretty drat good. The best open world RPG combat I've played, as far as I can remember. Agreed with item durability, it really sucks. One thing that took me too long to realize is that repair all repairs everything in your inventory. Wish they had a button to just repair equipped items. Either way though, I hope they tune the degradation a bit, either slow it down or make it cheaper to fix.

Tried PC version and I'm surprised I can play this quite well. 35 to 45 FPS on mostly high settings all around, game looks good and feels better than the PS4 janky version. By all means I expected to not even be able to run it period but I guess all the benchmark tests were bullshit.

The concepts behind the combat are good, but the execution of the control systems is pretty bad. It's mostly frustrating because its half way to being a really good system, but an unpolished implementation of animation locked attacks and some dodgey target locking really spoils it. Edit: I will concede that it is better than any other open world combat system, but that's more due to the competition being so terrible. Still, I'd rather have an unpolished but conceptually solid system like this than say Skyrims bland and skilless axe swinging. Bugblatter fucked around with this message at 00:21 on May 22, 2015 |

Having to re-watch the cut-scene of Niellen's psycho obsessive girl with the fur fetish every time he kills me wouldn't be so bad if it didn't give him a free hit right at the end of it because Geralt is no longer in combat mode. Potions, gateway drug.

Warning to everyone you can only buy 1 respec potion ever. After you buy one it disappears from all the other merchants. Guess I am stuck with the choices I made. I checked 3 different alchemy merchants and none of them had it anymore after I had used one 20 hours earlier or so.

Have you checked the dude that sells "rare magic artifacts" in a shop above the barber in Novigrad? He sells one. Marked as a normal merchant on the map.

A big problem with the combat I've found is how short the leash range on enemies is. Another thing borrowed from MMOs. I have to dodge a lot in combat and it's really annoying how often enemies de-aggro and run back to their post.

So here I am with my two bitchin' griffin sword diagrams and the village I go to which has a journeyman smith has been annihilated by a pack of devourers led by an alghoul. And they keep loving respawning. At least I learned how to kick the poo poo out of an alghoul though. The goon who taught us the crit stacks is a legend btw. So does anyone have an idea as to where the journeyman smiths are in Velen? crackton posted:Is there any danger in over leveling with the game? I didn't do I on purpose, I've just been exploring and talking to people without doing the main quest, but now I'm at level 12 and starting to worry I might ruin the experience later. It's the exact opposite I find. There are places where you just cannot go if you aren't leveled/pimped out enough. Found an area in southern Velen which must have some demon possessing the land surrounding a hill because goddamn it has insane beasts guarding each of its slopes. Fiends/Basilisks, and a cyclops a bot to the south. Fiends are loving terrifying. School Nickname fucked around with this message at 00:44 on May 22, 2015 |

If you choose to rescue the couple, some random old guy will die. I suppose if you ditch them they will die. It doesn't seem to matter much though. Triss will moan a bit about how much it sucks that that one dude died.

Is there a place that sells Venom Extract? Or what enemy drops it?

^^^^ Ghouls drop tons of venom extract. I sell it off all the time because of how much I get from them Oh man enhanced beast and insectoid oils, these'll help ou-- gently caress, I don't have the base versions.  Not a huge fan of how random the alchemy formulae you find seems to be. I just found those two oils and now they'll sitting useless until I find the base versions to upgrade into them. At which point no bear or giant bug will be safe. Edit: Speaking of the serpentine swords, I see people complaining about finding the Emerald Dust a lot and I found out after playing through White Orchard again with a friend that wraiths drop it pretty frequently. There are two you can kill in White Orchard, though you might have to save scum to get the dust if they don't drop it the first time. I just made the silver sword and didn't bother with the steel since what I had was almost as good (and I've since found better). Bussamove fucked around with this message at 01:28 on May 22, 2015 |

Someone mentioned binding the quick dodge to spacebar, and roll to alt. I would like to do this, but when I try it unbinds spacebar from jump and surface (when underwater). How do I bind something to multiple keys?

I have a 760 @ 1680.1050 and run with medium water, high everything else, ultra detail. No AA, medium shadows. I get about 45-50fps. Game is pretty as gently caress. I used to have AA, but I literally can't see a difference.
