Yeah, and that's what I'm talking about. All the nuances present on the system. For example, attacking normally as you would do but delaying one of the blows just a bit will transform your combo into something else entirely (like, square, square - de...  [Read More]

Another point for you, but although this (and similar actions) are combos; pressing X,X,X then Y or B and then throwing something against the enemy isn't for the reasons aforementioned.Yes, merely throwing someone at something isn't really a combo. P...  [Read More]

What makes people compare TFU and GoW is most likely the Quick Time Events and the misunderstanding that the melee combat is a main focus of this game. Just looking at how shallow the melee combo system is says quite clearly that it's mostly there fo...  [Read More]
