The Melee is Atrocious

[Narry]

This feels like getting ganged up on in For Honor.
The moment more than one of these flailing freaks starts dancing with you it turns into an absolute clusterf**k.
I can deal with two of them sometimes, but FOUR?!

"Melee combat isnt atrocious, you just shouldnt use it in 90% of encounters"

Wow, what a solid argument, thank you

except i didnt say that. i used melee in almost every encounter. it's just not gonna carry you through every fight, and it shouldn't.

you can perma stunlock cheese all enemies by just using light attack > heavy attack > light>heavy etc etc until they die lol. doesnt matter if theres multiple enemies either because they all wait their turn to attack you while youre fighting someone else

definitely didn't wait to attack when i was playing

Use Gauntlent to toss stuff at them, And if youi did not get thje gun or gauntlet yet LOL learn to melee, cause your gonna need it

It's the reason why I don't buy it. For me it's a game that looks a bit "souls type" and I know myself to stay away from these as far as possible :)

80-90% of the fight are multile enemies and you said melee wasnt for those, so you indeed implied what I said

souls game have a good combat system which is well implemented and thought out

I think they needed to add a roll mechanic, Would help with those 4 v1 encounters

nah, simply needed to put dodge on the left bumper with a press and have people time it

no you're reading into what i said. every fight ends in 1v1. a lot of em start 1v1. just because you cant 1v3 with melee doesn't mean the melee sucks.

trying to imagine kids crying on the resident evil forum because they can't knife down the lickers 1v3

UNPLAYABLE!

I'm not, most of the time you are against multiple enemies is my point and it encompasses what you said.

That comparison just doesnt work since RE doesnt put an emphasis on melee combat, I'm sorry you seem to be unable to get both points.

you can turn on auto dodge which dodges the other attackers. you still have to manually dodge your locked on target with this option on.

i'm not sure what point you're even trying to make my guy. the melee was fine, and it is much more fleshed out than in most survival horror games. i had a lot of fun with it. maybe you should try adjusting your expectations of what a melee weapon should be capable of in a survival horror game.
