Official Poll Regarding SOMA's Monsters

[cantremember]

I hated the combat system in Overture. For one not being able to fend yourself makes monsters more scary, but mostly also IMO it was flawed technically.

It looks like they wanted to make it dynamic-ish, like the physics of grabbing/moving objects in the game.. or a Wii game, but in the end every animation is a fixed one, and you just trigger it by moving the mouse in the right direction. Half the time the swing I wanted isn't the one that gets activated, or the game misregisters and doesn't hit, while it could have been done with a simple click, since it's completely redundant to me since the swinging animations aren't dynamic at all and just fixed attacks.
