This game has some of the worst combat i have ever seen..

[Clumsybeast]

I would hardly even call it combat.. It feels more like a puzzle of "Simon Says".. Press A.. Press B.. Press X.. Press A.. Rinse and repeat.. I would rather just be able to beat the crap out of enemies, and counter when they attack, and that is it. Screw the "break defense" option, it is pointless, and annoying. The combat isn't hard, but it is VERY tedious. One of the least enjoyable combat mechanics i have played in a game. Rest of the game is amazing, but i try staying out of combat, just because of how boring it is. So far i give the game a 9/10 even with the combat, but i really wish it was better.

This is true, and jusy my opinion. I am sure there are some that like it.

Eh, it's better then waiting for enemies to attack and just pressing E/B/Circle. But it could still be improved. Hopefully in the future.

I disagree, even though it is easier the old way, i much prefer the old way than a tedious way like this. They are taking a break from AC for a while, so hopefully they improve combat, and controls.

At least it's much better than Unity's, because it's fast paced and usually over quickly. My only problem with the combat is that the multikills hardly ever work, even if you've lined up the enemies perfectly. It's definitely not as good as AC3/4/Rogue's combat.

True, Unity's was terrible.

Its a clumsy version of Arkham combat. Easily the worst version of Arkham combat actually, but thats OK becuase it still "works" and is a small part of the game..... but yeah its bad.

Unity's was definitely the worst I've ever seen. Syndicate is just sort of clunky. I liked the AC3 combat system the best.
