Mount and Blade has the best melee, mounted, and archery combat ever seen in a game and there's no way that game would even be playable with a controller. All console games have to be dumbed down in some way - either to make them more playable with a clumsy controller and/or becaus the console audience is a lot more casual. Hell, most console games have combat systems like Assassin's Creed, Batman, Shadow of Mordor, Mad Max, etc. which are so dumbed down that it's almost become a parody of bad console combat.

There is no lock-on feature, unless you play sorcerer or magick archer. That being said, you really don't need it.. The combat is incredibly noob friendly as is. You'll get used to it.

But there is a soft lock in melee combat such that you don't even have to aim. It's not a hard lock like Dark Souls but it is a blatant lock-on that will allow you to destroy a group of enemies by just mashing LMB while the game locks on and kills everything for you.

Hell the ability to simply target an enemy when trying to help out NPCs would be nice... The amount I've accidentally killed because they ran into my attacks...

1. Archeology :|
2. DS fan not fanboy? Exotic.
3. I personally abhore AUTO-Lock on. Idc if there is lock-on in a game as long as it's not mandatory. And in DS it wasn't - +1 for FROM for it (and there aren't many of those).
4. Actually, for me, in Dragon's Dogma, Lock-on IS an issue. It is not so much a matter of skill but a matter of well, limiting factor. And I have no idea why would anyone ask for more.

Now, I'm not saying it's all hell's broken loose, just that it tend not to work right and therefore it should be optional: the way one can't aim at critial points with magick, the way that crosshair is attracted to a certain enemies, the way one can't even see what that damn system is aiming at utill the last second before shot, and finally, most infuriating, the way the character automatically aims at the nearest "target" while you want to just crack that box nearby.

BTW Yes, DS is hardly a hard game: when someone owns noobs in a match, with hax, you don't call him a master ;)

Auto lock on is nice to have it if u dont use it ok but still nice.And yaa when i read some DS fans spam how they beat game and they like it hard man they playd all game with thers mate and go on forums and spam some ♥♥♥♥ DS hard man xD

The game has sort of a lock-on feature, your attacks will be directed at the nearest enemy from where you are facing, and you can't do anything about it. I love how people think lock on is a noobish feature yet this game has the worst type of auto targeting system. I'm really liking it, it's just that you must really think a lot about yourself to consider people that use such a common feature as camera lock on (in melee games) are ironically somewhat closer to being mentally disabled than you.

I mean... like it's really hard to play a hack n slash game and point the left joystick in the direction of the enemy smh...

Dark Souls fans have this egoistic narcissm that makes them repulsive. Vocal Majority, especially. You guys arent hardcore but pretentious, get a life for god's sake..

You dont really need Lock on for this game at all, just watch where you swing that sword or dagger instead of going rapid-attacks all the time.(Except when you grab on a monster to climb, camera decides to go bonkers, controller makes it easier.)

Since your character is more agile and responsive, you can reposition or defend much faster compared to the *steer-a-truck* movement of Monster Hunter. That was and IS annoying.

Shame the game's sequel is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ online game though. Did anyone try the hardmode of this game, how is it?

This thread makes me think of the current state of partisan politics in the US, except that the latter is not amusing at all.

Because lock on is generally a noobish mechanic replacing aiming skill

Really? It's a third person game, and you speak about aim when I'm wielding a shield and sword...

From what u need aiming assistance then? If u usin sword and shield ur main concern i keep everybody in front of u most of the time problem solved. Keep enemy in front and pawns behind. U dont need to lock on anythin. That would make urself totally useless the second u lock on anybody cos enemy would dance around u the second u lock on anybody. U need to move around and try position urself all the time.
