    The funny thing is that you fucks still believe there's something like an "objective truth" about which combat system is good and which is bad. If the combat is too slow for you, fine then you don't like slow combat. If the combat is too fast for you, fine, then you don't like fast combat. If the combat requires too much timing of you, fine, then you don't like timed combat. But arguing about this stuff is as much retarded like arguing about which music genre is the superior one.

    This might be a good point but once you play the subjective card then there is no discussion,everyone just has to shut the fuck up basically.I guess you can just point out what are the strong points of a certain system but even then someone might say that the strong point is actually a weak point and the only conclusion is to agree to disagree.

    What the fuck does depth and complexity have to do with whether it is or isn't RPG?

    Nothing, that's why SRR was widely accepted as an RPG.

    I found Risen 3 to be a very mixed bag. Moments of old PB style did occasionally shine through, though overall I found the game quite disappointing.

    Which one? I was talking about R1 mainly there, and G1/2/fixed3 to an extent. In R3, this logical arrangement is absent because of the reasons you listed, and because enemy patterns are fucked up, so that for many enemies, just chaining LMB with the occasional power attack becomes the easiest thing to do.

    It's also sad that if you decide during a battle to just stand and wait for them to attack so you can exploit it, quite often they will not do anything for 2 or 3 seconds. Compare that to R1 where, often, the moment you finish a slash and let up they will pounce on that opening, or if you are alert and in block mode they will wait and/or do a power attack.

    You need to play some decent console action rpgs, dragons dogma puts all this shit to shame.

    Go back to Neogaf, please. There's a difference between reactive combat and shitty timing sequences like the games you mentioned.

    No, it's not. Not when the games difficulty stems from a forced handicap like that.

    Oh, okay, I meant Ris3n :M

    Yeah, I noticed that too. Them staredowns with minions when neither party does anything for a longer while are comedy gold.

    It does accurately simulate Dragon Ball combat, though, where both parties take impromptu tea breaks to give manly stares at each other and give themselves massive erections

    The game started off great, but now it is starting to get real repetetive and the fucking inventory is getting on my nerves too (god, I hate this list inventory bullshit). The dialogue is also boring, so I am starting to skip most of it. I have to take a break from the game.

    It is of course nowhere near as good as the amazing Risen 1, not even close, but somehow I am starting to get the feeling that is also not even as good as Risen 2, which is saying a lot really.

    Are there really a lot of reviewers who claim that Risen 3 is too hard? This guy concedes that it is a "hardcore action RPG", but one where even the hardest enemy in the game can be beaten with a naked level 1 character if the player is sufficiently awesome. He makes it sound like Dark Souls.

    Started off great? Did you play the same game as me? Come on, the beginning of the game, especially the first hour, was excruciatingly bad with horrible tropes, horrible writing, horrible characters and horrible quests. I'm hoping it gets better but it already goes on my nerves.

    Amazing tutorial,I like how he really gets into the nitty gritty of the system:"Timed presses allows you to execute attacks faster then if you just mesh LMB".Truly this system is amazing.
    I also like the fact the he sucks at the game.

    The most enjoyable part for me was acquiring magic but after an hour or 20 minutes you understand the game still blows,after that the most enjoyable moment is quitting.
