That's what I'm saying as well. I've never felt more impact in a combat system until I played games with it. It's so much fun to take on groups of enemies at once. It feels way more realistic than most combat systems.

My favorite is setting explosive gel traps and then leading a group of thugs into the killzone. Never gets old.

I've done that a few times. I really need to finish Asylum so I can get into City though I've been craving Fallout lately so I'm attempting to finish up Fallout 4. Getting hyped for Fallout 76.

I just paused Asylum right before the first Scarecrow platforming segment. I think I'm gonna go smoke a bowl and then get back to it.

The Scarecrow segments are ****ing amazing. I was blown away the first time I went through one.

Arkham: QTE Asylum

Pretty much.
But like a QTE that's generated based on enemy positions.
Not my cup of tea.

I've played asylum and I can guarantee that if you let go of the control, the combos stop. So no, they aren't auto combos.

Auto combo is a odd term so I'm just responding to it. Idk what that even means

for as much time as you spend playing video games...

autocombos are executed through mashing one button vs. manual combos which require a series of different buttons pressed in sequence

traditional 3rd person brawlers like GoW have you using 10-12 different manual combos which gives you a lot more manual control of your character in combat

I'd Google but trolling is way more fun. I sort of stopped caring about the conversation when you used silly reasoning to bsck up your claims.

It's literally the least fun combat system I can think of without resorting to mentioning broken combat systems. Not really a fan of the Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden games as such, but the combat in those games was still loads more fun to me.

And if anyone had played a proper amount of Dynasty Warriors, they'd know it's more about trying to be the right time at the right place than being good at fighting. And in most of those games, if you're fighting the nameless grunts at all, you're doing it wrong.
Try playing Samurai Warriors 2 on normal difficulty with a lvl 1 character and you'll see what I mean. Pointing out that DW has a simple combat system is to miss the point of DW.
