Animation-locked combat is just plain bad.

The first game has already proven the combat sucks for thousands of different reasons. Why make it this bad again? What's wrong with the devs? Did someone not inform them how awful it was in KCD1?

I enjoyed its combat.

I enjoyed the combat also. I am not sure what the OP is aiming for here? I-Frame dodge fest?

Proven? What are you on about? Combat was great in KCD. Go back to skyrim if it is to complicated for you or play Souls games if you constantly want to roll around like moron.

Git gud.

From what I can tell of the gameplay trailers I've seen, the combat seems to have been refined in KCD2.

Best combat system for an ARPG, requiring a bit of thinking. And fights were cheasable using your horse if the fighting system was too hard for players.

Yah nothing says good combat like a layer of cheese to go with it. /s

yeah, because people just like series of QTEs disguised as combat. Press button -> wait 2-5 seconds until you're no longer locked in an animation. - Press another button -> wait again, etc etc. It's sort of turn-based combat really, until you start getting attacked from multiple sides.
