As much as I love the Witcher 2. I don't get this opinion either, if we are comparing the controls on the console versions of both respective games. The Witcher 2 definitely doesn't control as well as Dark Souls.in fact all the elements The Witcher 2 took for it's combat system from Demon souls were done much worse in that, esp the dodging which is janky as fuck.
Hmm, strange since the dodging in The Witcher 2 was one of the changes I really loved and made the combat a lot more fun and dynamic.
In any case both games have their fans who enjoyed the controls so there is a place in the market for both games thankfully. Choice!
It was basically like a mishmash of Demon Souls and Batman Arkham Asylum. It probably would have been better if they just copied Demon Souls tho, because Batman AA has a terrible combat engine.
Damn straight high 5 flip side down low.
Witcher 2 is over rated by PC gamers who cream themselves over anything that looks purrrrrrrrty and is 'made for pc'. Although I liked the characters and story mostly... and graphics!

Arkham City is one of the most enjoyable combat systems I have played, even better than the original due to the requirement to vary your actions with the different enemy types. Makes you feel like a badass when you do a 5x variety, 5x gadget, 50 hit combo.
The 360 port looked amazing too.
Very much looking forward to TW3 on PC/PS4/720

If you think Batman AA has a terrible combat engine the problem is you.
I don't like action games with auto-combos and no lock-on targeting.

How have I missed this thread all this time? I really do not venture outside of the Gaming forum as much as I should.
Was gonna post this in stupid questions thread but this is probably a better place. Are there any good Australian online stores for Wii games? With my recent purchase of a Wii U I would like to catch up on alot of Wii games I have missed but they are so damn expensive locally(Perth). eBay is the best place I have found so far but it's very hit and miss. I also much prefer to buy things brand new.
Thanks for any help. I shall be reading this thread more often now, sub'd!

BTB seem to have Gearbox Aliens WiiU for preorder at $42 for some reason. No idea if they will guarantee that price. No idea if they take money at order or at shipping either!
OzGameShop is the Australian focused arm of 365games.co.uk, games ship out of the UK and are of that region. Delivery time is usually 10-14 days, free postage. They have weekly specials plus time limited deals every now and then. You get reward points that go towards gift vouchers you can redeem on a future purchase.
Zavvi is a UK store, some people have had issues with delivery in the past, I haven't had an issue but keep in mind that some have had to message them. All prices are in pounds too so you have to convert it through XE.com/ucc or something of the ilk. Postage is an extra pound per order, owned by TheHut group. Postage is 10-14 days for the most part.
BeatTheBomb is an Adelaide website that has been running for about 6 months now, postage is $2.50 and usually arrives within 3-7 days. They have awesome specials on the frontpage which are for 3 days or so, sometimes only a few copies (picked up SSX on 360 for $10 not long ago, currently PES2013 on PS3/360 for $25). They mark which copies are AUS and UK copies.
Most the stuff I am finding on eBay is UK stores. So yes

Batman combat is boring
Witcher 2 combat required some mods for me to like it but was okay outside of weird difficulty spikes
Dope souls combat is totally playable but feels really weightless even though it's so slow and deliberate. Just doesn't feel meaty enough.
Sleepy Dogs combat had me buy two sets of dlc to play more of it
Kingdoms of Amalur combat is soulless but serviceable, though is incredibly stilted.
In fable 2 you can shoot people in the balls LOL

Funny thing about that, was it was probably intentional, to capture all the ninja-flipping, force power stuff from the prequel trilogy. As bad as that sounds, I actually think prequel-style lightsaber fights are more suited to a video game than OT-type fights imo.
Also RAGE is amazing - one of the best games of 2011. I want DOOM 4 now.
Actually, we're playing a bunch of Braggart at home at the moment. It helps that it's suitable for a 9yo to play, but it's still a bunch of fun
???
The free-roam stuff was pretty forgettable, but the classic shooter sections of RAGE were top tier.
I hearby grant you one "get out of having a bad opinion*" card, redeemable at all participating AusGAF threads.

The first Jedit Knight predated the prequels and filled me with hope. So much for that.
And apparently Justin Chin works at Telltale now?
The two games you posted had FPP options compared to the TPP that were being referred to earlier.

If you don't want to wait 2 weeks for UK delivery.
Otherwise, ebay (uk), ozgameshop, play-asia and zavii/the hut are the best places to get new games cheap.
Omg I hate that shit. I cannot enjoy any combat engine that's anywhere in the middle of turn based and real time (gave up on KotOR and Xenoblade for that reason).
The ??? meant "what the fuck does FPP mean?"
First Person... Pew-pew?

I bought a 1TB usb 3.0 seagate portable from JB for $65 last month
Almost cheaper than buying an internal HDD at that price!
Unless it has a Y-USB cable, a desktop version is recomended.
Yeah it's kind of just the same 6 combos over and over again. But fuck they're awesome.
Jumpkick into a guy, tackle another to the ground and punch him in his fucking face, break the next guy's arm, run up a wall and do a sick sweeping wall kick knocking two others down. Counter a guy and send him flying backwards, and finish it off by introducing someone's head to a car door. Repeatedly.

Sleepy Dogs just strips the bullshit from the fighting system, gives you a handful of moves that you can plan out to take down all the stupid mofos around you.
Oh poo, with a power cable? I have limited sockets so that is annoying.
What is the biggest USB stick they can take?

Not sure why you like this but think Batman combat is boring.
