it pretty much is but also if you play on the hardest difficulty it turns off the big glowing popups for attacks and you have to react to the enemy's animations themselves which is much better imho

No. The game has prompts, yes, but in fights with several varied enemies you will get interrupted and beef it if you play that way. You have to know which enemy to prioritize, and how.

It's absolutely fine to not like the combat but you don't have to make things up or exaggerate to absurd levels to justify why it's the game's fault.

you can just somersault over enemies literally for an infinite amount of time if any point you feel overwhelmed

That's not "just push button when you see prompt".

Also some enemies are immune to it. You will also lose your combo if you do it more than two(?) times in a row without hitting anyone.

I feel like the Jedi game should have gone with a combat system like Arkham instead of Souls. Having to lightsaber a goat 5 times to kill it is stupid but bouncing back and forth between space bad guys and ripping them up and doing lots of flips (Force Flips) would have been much more fun.

Yeah in the same way that platformer gameplay is just "press button to jump over obstacle"

It's pointless to describe the game that way since it ignores everything about how the gameplay actually works.

I'm not saying they're wrong for disliking it, I'm saying they're saying things that are, in actual fact, literally incorrect.

I'm not even a big stan for the Arkham games, I think they're just "pretty good" at best and two of them are mediocre or bad.

arkham combat isnt complex but it can be fun at times

the problem is they overdo it in every game. too much combat all the time vs a billion enemies. should've been more gargoyling, and more investigating. actually a lot more investigating

honestly the combat to non-combat ratio should've been paced like an episode of the batman cartoon and more focused on the "terror in the shadows" stealth rather than "50 people surround batman and most of them stand around waiting"... like... it's not justice league or the avengers. if it was green lantern i would maybe get it because green lantern's powers are the definition of crowd control... but it's batman

they get all the batman TAS voices to do the characters but the games have none of the traits of the cartoon

The Lego games were fun (if infuriatingly basic and repetitive) until they tried to overreach and started making them 'open world'. They looked really ugly and played terribly when they didn't just have small environments made out of mostly Lego. They were basically just big empty maps that you walked through to get to the next level.

I think the LOTR one was the first. How did anyone think this was a good look for a Lego game? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2siJCmLmPw

Stopped right here. If you had said God of war, I'd agree, but batman is 3 buttons, attack, dodge and crouch(plus the gadget short cuts). Acting like that touches the granular mechanics of even something like kora is baffling. And you make it sound like PGs enemies aren't also designed with different approaches in mind.

also the bouncer was the better kingdom hearts

Nah Batman has combos at least, and a lot of the gadgets mix the combat up. A lot of the fun is in racking up huge combos.


It's no where near as in depth as a good Platinum game but it's a lot less simple than people suggest.
