What makes for a good action combat system in an RPG? I see people say FFVII Remake/Rebirth are the best ever. But why?
Afterbirth sucked.
>>3988297the best action combat in an rpg has zero rpg elements, because the genres are at odds with each other
>>3988421Define rpg element
>>3988432>Define rpg elementA non-RPG that contains a non-zero amount of RPG mechanics, for example Disco Elysium (a point-and-click adventure game with light RPG elements)
>>3988449Disco elysium is an rpg element
>>3988357and yet not the worst action RPG by Square.That is 15 with it's Hold O to win bullshit that is even in DLCs
>>3988449how do you fuck up responding to a three-word question?an rpg "element" is using stats and dice rolls to determine what happens next. in action games it's this pixel touched that pixel or that ray intersected this hitbox, etc. it's skill-based not stat-based.
>>3988457>how do you fuck up responding to a three-word question?It was a rhetorical question. Everyone here understands what an "RPG element" is. Anyone who claims to not is baiting.
>>3988457>an rpg "element" is using stats and dice rollsIs it "and" or "and/or"?
>>3988297>I see people say FFVII Remake/Rebirth are the best everthese people are retards. those games are PRESS X FOR AWESOME that literally play themselves. these retards think they are playing it brilliantly when they are literally one button bashers
>>3988297skyrim did it best, imoyour skill matters, but so does your characters skills/equipment qualityits just complicated enough to be fairly satisfying, but not so complicated as to be frustrating
>>3988432your characters skills being abstracted with stats
>>3988297easy and quick standard encounters, challenging bosses>>3988558>skyrim has the best combatincredible
>>3988625>skyrim has the best combatof any "action combat sytem" in an rpg, yesstay mad
>>3988558For the amount of options, they nailed it very well. With some polish, and maybe a bit more depth to archery gameplay, I would be more than happy to have the same combat in the next game.
>>3988840skyrim doesn't even have the best combat in a competition between it and bookworm adventures
>>3988843deny it all you want, bittercuck
>>3988845amalur beats skyrim to death and wears its face
>>3988846if you say solooks like a ps2 game to me, and the studio died right after
>>3988860t. never owned a ps2 or played amalur
>>3988297Kingdom Hearts is the best desu
