Which AC game had the best combat system? | Forums

[smballer23]

Out of all the AC titles released, which one do you think had the best combat system?

I would think that it is AC1 or AC2. This is because Brotherhood was too easy, and all you had to do was Counterattack with the Hidden Blade or use Arrow Storm. Same with Revelations. I think the AC3 combat was kid of clunky but not too bad..

What do you guys think? I just don't think they should make combat that easy..

ACR was the most fun to me...and therefor the best IMO.
I don't play games for difficulty, I play them for fun.
In my true honest opinion AC3 was the hardest in terms of combat..it was the easiest game to die in during heated combat and took the most technique switching and it was constant...you couldn't just button mash and block like previous games.
AC 1 and AC2 weren't super easy but they weren't hard either once you understood the controls..it was pretty easy to never die lol even against the Templar Knights...so cant really sympathize with you there...
ACB was just boringly easy.
to me ACR was the 2nd most difficult in terms of combat, but again I just loved taking an axe from the big guys and just going to town doing 1 hit kills and doing chain kills like 15 guys in a row with an axe one after another..i loved it lol

In my opinion, ACIII had the best combat.

As for combat being easy, I don't believe that will be a problem with ACIV.

Ac3.

AC1* and AC3.

*AC1 of course gets a big no-no because of the counter attack dominant-strategy, but other than that it's pretty awesome.

PS. I also would like to note that so far I haven't been fully satisfied with any of the AC combat systems.

AC1 had promising combat, but it could have used more polished to feel smoother, it's still the best combat unique to AC.

If you're going to unashamedly copy Arkham City, at least do it right.

While it has its faults, and people really like to complain about it, Ac3 definitely had the best combat system. AC4 seems to be taking the great core of it and fixing all the bad parts, like big counter windows and timid enemies

AC2 was a pain getting the timing right for hidden blade counters, but the chalenge made me enjoy the combat that much more. So AC2 for me.
