Seriously. God forbid we get a Witcher game with thoroughly entertaining and fun combat. I mean, I hope that's what we have in the Witcher 3, but 1 and 2 sure didn't provide that, IMO.

Brutal trailer. Combat looks great.
I can't speak for W1's combat, but I loved W2's. And Shadow of Mordor became really easy, really fast for me.

SoM's difficulty problems didn't have much to do with the combat though. That was more related to how they doled out new abilities over time.
The combat itself was a blast, IMO.
So soon
lmfao. that is too good
It doesn't, TW3 doesn't use free flow style of combat that Batman games and Mordor has. In TW3, especially on higher difficulty settings, you need to be a lot more careful about your attacks and time them properly. You strike at wrong time, enemy parries you and it causes you to lose your balance for a moment. In that moment that enemy will hurt you badly.
You won't be jumping from enemy to enemy to enemy who are 6+ meters apart and hitting them hit after hit until all is dead.
Here is some combat; https://youtu.be/94R0Ji39E68?t=179 I suggest watching all three Gophers videos about TW3 in full, they are spoiler free and explain a lot of TW3 mechanics etc. in detail.
Monsters come in many sizes, forms and races.
Dudes are the real monsters.
Yeah, judging from what I saw of the combat builds stream, alchemy builds are going to be very powerful. Grenades gib the hell out of enemies.
I imagine the dodge moves have I-frames? I am interested to test those out.
Edit: Here is the article with the stream in it. It shows off various combat builds and how they can be used. Also shows off the difficulty scaling towards the end.

Strange. Everything I have seen so far has pointed to this not being the case. Have we seen the same gameplay previews?

Some monsters
I love you, Was going to post this until I scrolled and saw your reply.
That is basically how devs have described segments that are played as her. I think they estimated amount of Ciri gameplay to around 6-7 hours total.

Decent trailer, fantastic music.
Edit: The monsters CG trailer though... so damn good.

Pretty sure Ciri's segments are action-oriented. I don't think you have control over her stats like geralt
Glorious.
Based gamersyde download :O so good.

I know I'm in the minority but alla these trailers left me seriously unimpressed. The message is: you an decapitate dudes. OK, I guess...
Edit: Beaten.
There is different kind TW3 trailers out, not all are about just combat. Maybe something like this is more to your liking, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYwe_WHARdc ?

Say that it's Youtube compression or whatever, but that trailer looked to me like it was the console version. Either that, or the PC version on medium settings. Which wouldn't make much sense.
Which platform did you play TW2 on? It was actually fun before all of the combat nerfs on PC up until the EE/conspole release. I wouldn't call SoM that fun either. Or at least, it doesn't have any staying power. It's extremely fun initially, until you realize just how shallow it really is. By the time you hit the second half of the game you're also essentially going full god-mode and the combat is entirely trivial. It's basically junk food in that regard.
The gore
The music
And especially Ciri
Lawd it looked beautiful can't wait to play it!
Nothing I've seen has pointed to any of that. In fact it's all pointed to the opposite.
that music
The music was the best part of the trailer. Fantastic! I hope it's in the game.
Witcher 2 is on steam for $2.99. One of the best games of all time, for $2.99.
