-watches some combat-

1. Enemies do not engage companions at all, they basically don't exist except to give some extra damage or so you could use an awesome button.

2. Enemies look like they just cycle through the same two attacks

3. No blood or gore in combat

4. Warriors get anime moves like summoning swords from the sky

Yeah that's pretty accurate. Enemies and enemy encounters generally are not very well-designed. Their movement isn't too good either, they often rely on this teleport escape thing instead of actually having intelligent movement.

Man, it looks like warriors really get the short end of the stick here. They removed greatswords, weapon selection is pathetic, and weapon attacks have no weight -- they replaced it all with stupid anime moves, shield throws, magical effects, dancing, prancing, and other retarded gimmicks. Seems to me that you can't even play a proper fighter -- you're basically some kind of faggy twinkle-toes mage by default.

Yet another (really big) reason not to play this joke of a game.

Which is worst? DA4 or ME4?
Having played the pirated version for a couple of hours today, just to see what all the noise was about, this is much worse than Andromeda.

Mass Effect Andromeda had some good gameplay elements, like the combat. This on the other hand, has absolutely no redeeming qualities, it's so bad that I'm baffled by the reviews, there is no explanation for some of these scores that doesn't end with corruption.

Well my Vermintide 2 group is calling me for a hard challenge that becomes available every Halloween event. They need my troglodyte subpar skills to assist them. Ggs fellas. It was enjoyable fun posting about this stupid game.

ME4 was hilarious with the memes it generates. This game is just downright offensive. I'm still baffled by the positive reception.

They made half the women in this game look like dudes in make-up, with protruding jaws, big noses and brow ridges. Isabela looks like a drag queen now.

Wasting hundreds of millions of other people's money making a AAA RPG where every character is trans must be the ultimate power trip for queerosexual gendermancers.

Magic also sucks. Any "spammable cantrip" the charname does a very stupid long ballet animation. The spells have no impact, deals little to no damage, scales with weapon, necromancy has no OHK spells, no control over undead spells, nothing different than the typical pyromaniac. Just a different awesome button color.

If Elden Ring managed to make a amazing spell and melee combat, this game is the opposite. Did a atrocious bad melee and atrocious bad magical combat.
