Why can't I just disengage and run ?

[Citizen Tim]

I have to admit to HATING this mechanic, there is no reason why someone shouldn't be able to turn and run, yet I'm held in combat by this stupid "console game" mechanic. Why do people insist on making games like this? And if you so please stop releasing PC versions!

Your not held in combat
dont spam the buttons and you wont be stuck in a flurry of attacks
hit when only you mean to.

Instead of running though, many times you are better off using the GRP to create distance
you dont run that fast and some of the mutants do, so you only get a death animation for your efforts

because the game sucks, it auto locks on enemies too.

Would you be able to 180 spin and runaway from someone at close range who is punching you? I never saw a boxer pull that trick

No it doesn't

depending on the enemy type and the encounter, you can usually get away after a dodge by turning the opposite direction of the dodge and then running. So if you dodge right, your character is already partly facing to the left, so turn left a bit more and then run.

You can run away when they are staggered

You can run away before also, long as you outpace them trying to grab you
you just cant run in mid swing
it is hideous trying to run away though, if one insists on using the auto aim at all
since it keeps focusing you on to the closest target that is acting threateningly

The game doesnt let you sprint in like 70% of it when not in combat anyways... why would it let you in a fight? lol

Had to really try and drag out that total completion time anyway they could I guess.

Its done anyway, very short game and utterly a waste of money. Digital sales laws need to be changed.
