New IGN article combat bummer : V

» Fri Aug 05, 2011 6:40 pm

a recent ign article discussing their hands on demo of skyrim gave a lot of encouraging information about the game. but, unfortunately, it also states that the combat was "still far from the feel of an action game"

which kinda svcks in my opinion. i was hoping the game would have the visceral impact of an action game but it seems like my fears that it will be floaty like oblivion have come to fruition.

on an up note, the article also seems to indicate that there will be much more depth to the perk system that we previously anticipated.

here read it for yourself

Action game's combat systems are terrible in my opinion and would never fit in with an RPG, especially a well known Hack and Slash RPG series.

The way I look at it is the game itself will be a great improvement on past games so I am happy.

Nearly every video game is an "action game".

It was in that article. After reading IGN's article, it sounded like they liked the combat to me. They said it was better than Oblivions.

...the line directly after your quotes states; it doesn't feel as floaty as previous TES games, weapons feel weighted etc etc.

I don't want it to feel like an action game, so I'm satisfied.

no, i was quite pleased about that

please dont think im bashing this game, ive never been more anxious to play a game.

im just sharing my fears that the combat might not have evolved enough from oblivion

pretty sweet article. with the release so soon though, i'm almost ready to stop looking for new info and just experience the game. i would really like to see all the races though. Quakecon? lol

Sounds like someone biased towards action games.

RPGs are meant to be slower paced. That's why they are "RPGs" and not "action games."

Cuz its not CoD so they try to nitpick at other games. I don't care what that one bozo at IGN said about Skyrim's combat system. Its not an action game its an RPG game. Never trust IGN unless you're a CoD really devoted fan.

I'm "a CoD really devoted fan" and I don't trust IGN one bit .....

I don't want Skyrim to play like God of War.

I put somthing else besides "devoted fan" and it must of got replaced by a mod.

People like IGN contribute to the downfall of good, meaningful, games.

It's from a review from a critic... and above all- it's just an opinion from a person. We just have to judge it for ourselves.

I don't want Skyrim to play like God of War.

neither do i. i want it to have realistic physics like halo for example

» Fri Aug 05, 2011 6:39 pm

Do you guys remember how melee was handled in Fallout 3 ?! when you hit somebody with your huge hammer and they would explode (if you had that perk I can't remember its name) !
Skyrims melee will probably be like Fallout's but with more depth ...

It probably means it doesn't feel like an action game because you are not pulling off incredibly flashy combos and moving from 1 target to another with relative ease or because of the lack of explosions other games have.

Remember this is an elder scrolls game, flashy combos, in my opinion, don't have much of a place on TES. Leave them for games such as Devil May Cry, etc.

Well, we don't want a new Dragon Age 2, do we? That game became less of an rpg and more of a hack and slash.

Lol realistic physics like Halo? Sure jumping 15 feet into the air is realistc

it is if your a super soldier.

what i mean is that when you get hit with a ghost in halo, you fly backwards realistically.

it would be cool if there were more convincing physics in skyrim when you get hit by a mammoth or frost atranoch

Incorrect. You slide backward, sometimes for dozens of feet, as if on wheels.
