Default Camera for Combat

[Johnny Wolf]

Does anyone else agree that the default camera is better for combat? Geralt is too acrobatic for an up close camera to work well imo.

I prefer the new camera for exploration though. The close camera is just too restricting to efficiently track enemies for me.

I agree, for me its more difficult to combat with the new camera.

Play how you want to, you got the option to change the camera.

Obviously I’m going to play how I want. I was just curious if others felt the same. The up close camera feels clunky to me.

I do prefer the Close camera for combat to utilize their new auto-camera turning when fighting. There are instances where it doesn't turn as fast as I need it to, or if you're fighting winged beats he won't look up too far, but it is the most immersive fighting camera. I like getting a close-up of these crazy monsters with the new graphics update.

The Default almost makes it too easy (I'm a new W3 player), you can see everything around you effortlessly. I do not think their new combat camera auto-turn works with Default, but doesn't require tighter camera movements, so I'm glad they left both options open.

Default camera all the way. In all situations.

Yes, it's always good to have your field of view artificially hampered so you can't see around you, but you can see the new textures better!

I loved God of War, but it’s combat was designed around the camera. The Witcher 3 was not designed for it. Kratos isn’t constantly flying back and forth between enemies like Geralt. I thought I would like the up close camera for combat but I just don’t in the Witcher.

I couldn't stand the camera one iota in God of War, which is why I used an FOV fix for the little I played it.
