man i was gonna agree with your post and then came the "cartoony" thing again.
At this point im convinced someone pays people to post this.
What about this entire thing made you go "cartoon"?
Seriously what?
The clsoest would actually be the moving objects around.
And plaese, PLEASE stop this nonsesne with "effects when you hit someone is bad" stuff.
no.
Western games suffer greatly from not knowing how to make melee combat feel good.
For Honor and Vermintide are starting to get the hang of stuff games like Dark Souls and Dragons Dogma have known for ages.
No, floaty feeling, low impact combat is not disreable
I wholeheartedly disagree. The reason why you see the same criticism over and over is because there is a legitimate preference issue. I also dont want my combat to be highly stylized with flashy animations and lightning effects. Its one of the reasons why I never even consider JRPGs, one look at the trailer and I know the game isnt for me.
So I hate to break it to you, but you will have to accept that this critique will last until the world ends.
