The moves aren't why Remember Me's combat sucked. You can make big, custom combos but you never needed any of it because a simple one that gave health back kept you going forever.

When it comes to Arkham-style fighting, I'm like the guy that pours ketchup on their steak. I just mash the buttons. I can't really tell a huge difference between Remember Me's combat and Arkham's

I'm in the middle of an 83 minute local "co-op" solo session where I set me to a controller and player 2 to keyboard. As soon as player 2 dies it's a single player game where everything you gain saves on death, if you select 'try again'.

I heard the combat in Remember Me gets tedious, but it would need to turn into a real shitshow to keep me from loving this game. So far (only chapter 3 admittedly) I'd say it's worth playing if only for the setting. The environment artists deserve every award. And the story keeps reminding me of what might be my favorite Ted Chiang story, so that's cool.

I once met a guy who button-mashed his way through Asylum. When I watched him play, he was at the final boss, and hadn't yet taken the upgrade that allows you to do special moves at combo x5 instead of combo x8. I really hated that guy.

Lethemonster posted:I enjoy the game normally but this weird bug mode is just insanely good fun. It gets ridiculous on screen. We've been three planets in with like 5 bosses on screen and tonnes of enemies running around yelling. I wish it was a mode you could deliberately turn on. You can sort of mimic this in single player, if you have that artifact that enables you to choose items you get from chests, statues and enemy drops. It makes the game a lot easier. It's fun running around super fast, shooting dozens of missiles while everything around you explodes in a hail of bombs and electricity.

Stringing combos together is essential for getting anywhere in the challenge maps, but that's what they're there for.

Oddly enough, I never really had an issue with the knife disarm. You just let go of the stick between slashes, it's a simple timing test

My only gripe in Batman combat is that the shield-man-stun (B-A-A) always broke the combo for me, even when flowing it successfully within a combo. Got annoying.

Happy to see I'm not alone in never knife-dodging in the Arkham games. Always found it way too hard to do playing mouse/keyboard and since I never bothered doing the challenge maps, it didn't really matter.

I always just avoided those guys like the plague or tried to take them out quickly. Flipping over their heads usually worked if I recall right, just like the stun baton guys. Stupid special weapon guys get in the way of my rhythm game fighting.

I got used to sleepydogs combat - it's like a more realistic (slower and less flighty) version of the Bman's, but I'll always dislike the fact that the AI was programmed to come at you one at a time, regardless of the fact that you may have been encircled.

In Arkham City, there's a Wayne Manor Armory (or something) map where it's almost all knife guys. It's a good place to practice the move.

Sleeping Dogs's combat is fine and entertaining, but it's a sandbox game so the focus is not going to be on combat depth like in Arkham. The fact that I have to put Wei Shen into a "countering animation" and then wait for the enemy to hit me (even if I only have to wait half a second) as opposed to Batman just snapping right to the guy and countering is already what makes it much jankier, ignoring everything else.

Yeah, KoA's harmless enough. It just drags on, and there's way too much of it. I find the drat thing really endearing though and it's pretty relaxing to just run around and biff monsters.
