WORST combat system of any game?
- Thread starter Firmament1
- Start date
Oh that combat was terrible. I finished and kind of enjoyed the game though, not sure why because it was pretty dreadful.
Most recently, Witcher 3 on PS4. The horse riding is rubbish compared to MGSV or RDR2. Also, the combat would have been so much better if the controls were weighted like Bloodborne or God of War, quick attack R1 and charged attack R2.
Button-mashing square gets old fast, unless you're playing Mortal Kombat or a legit fighting game. Games like Detroit : Become Human are significantly more sophisticated because of their complete use of the controller, such as holding R2 while rotating the L joystick to open a door.

Imma stick to games that are generally considered good and suggest Dragon Quest Buidlers 2 (and I assume 1 as it's supposed to be worse, but it's not on PC).
Be prepared to just press Y/Triangle over and over and over and over and over, and occassionally move a bit away from something.

Probably FFXV. It prioritizes flashy animations over just getting the job done. Dumb ass and unnecessary changes like making you not want to use magic because it hurts your party equally. Feels like a melee combat system designed by Rockstar.
Drake of the 99 Dragons deserves worst 3rd person shooter combat and a reservation for the darkest pit of hell.

OP you probably should have placed some limiters and parameters on what kind of worst are we talking about.
Like obviously the WORST-worst is some shitty half-cocked game on steam that nobody has heard of, let alone played.
And a specific genre would also helped, but I'm assuming from your statement on NG3 that you're thinking of third person real time action or action-rpg games.

I remember liking the those side view fights as a kid but it's been a lot of years.
First game that came to mind for me. Why they thought sporadic combat areas in a point and click adventure was a good idea I'll never know.
Of all the games I've played: Animorphs for Game Boy Color.
The combat system is like Pokemon's, except your attacks miss all the time, to the point where battles are practically a matter of pure luck.
This disastrous run from AGDQ 2016 is a good showcase of it all. Watch the part at 18:30 in particular for an example of just how bad things can get:

You really made another thread to shit on Ninja Gaiden 3 again in the span of a few days? Your hate for the game is embarassing, dude.
On topic, Chain of Memories card system is pretty bad.

Paper Mario Color Splash.
You can not design a more tedious and backwards combat system than the one that is in this game.

Dragon Age Inquisition and Skyrim come to mind. Many "action" RPGS struggle with the action part of the equation.
Probably not the worst but I feel like Witcher 2's wasn't great. Literally just beat the game and I feel like the combat got worst. Delayed presses, sluggish, wonky hit detection, and terrible lock on just made it a slog to where I put it on easy just to finish it. Witcher 3 is like Bayonetta in comparison
It is one of my guilty pleasures. I just remember stacking one specific spell card so high that demolished everything in the game fairly early on.
budokai 3 dragon rush
and the original budokai. Game feels so unplayable to me compared to Infinite World.

Oh wait, I just remembered that Dreamfall: The Longest Journey had fights. They were very infrequent, but it was probably the worst fighting I've ever played. The only times they were sort of okay was when you were using the characters that had heavy attacks that hit at wide angles and were fast enough to stunlock enemies.
Skyrim, Witcher 3, Read Dead Redemption 2, Dragon Age Inquisition, Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Bloodborne, Horizon Zero Dawn, Persona 5, Dragon Quest XI. To name a few.
Don't ask why please.

It's honestly a little amazing to me seeing the attempt to make Neverwinter Nights into an action RPG.
People love the game, but no matter how many times I try, I just can't get into the Secret of Mana's combat, I find it infuriating to use. It's a Zelda-like combat system bogged down with weird turn-based elements
The original GBA version's combat makes sense, since they had to work with 2D graphics and two buttons to make an action-card based combat system. The PS2 remake is maybe the most literal 2D->3D remake ever, which makes the gameplay completely wacky compared to KH1. I love GBA CoM, but really don't care for Re:CoM.

Oh, trust me dude. NG3RE is absolutely nothing like the original game.
If you think this comment was limited to just Skyrim than I don't think I could laugh harder at how full on Era your comment is, lmao.
yeah, luckily you have work arounds with the system such a firaga and blizzaga.
