General combat/gameplay discussion

[open osprey]

Basically wanna see what everyone’s thoughts are on how the game plays. And what things can be improved/need fixing etc.

Biters grabbing so often/stun locking you after every attack I feel could be tweaked.

[hexed bay]

in terms of gameplay? nothing much

[open osprey]

Anything else that comes to mind as well like bugged things happening or anything really

[hexed bay]

I feel like the biter grabs make the game more difficult, it's kind of annoying sometimes but they wanted to show that zombies arent just mindless enemies

[hexed bay]

biggest bug they are already working on (day night cycle being broken)

[open osprey]

Sometimes I feel like it’s too much. Like how it was in dl2 they had to nerf it because it was so common

I don’t mind the challenge or whatever but just throws me off when u get in a flow or something ya know

[hexed bay]

my only nitpick so far is that the gore feels very repetitive, considering how much they marketed the beast as being brutal and gory it kind of feels underwhelming

[hexed bay]

to be honest my biggest problem isn't even the grabbing it's like the stunlock afterwards

[open osprey]

Yeah feel that. They cut a good amount of executions out from dl2 as well

[open osprey]

Yes exactly

[hexed bay]

sometimes they do the little swing attacks that shake the entire screen and make you unable to move or do anything

and they chain like 3-4 together

the actual grab QTE isnt that bad but being stunlocked after it is kind of annoying

[open osprey]

Yeah light attacks shouldn’t be causing you to not be able to do anything

I want hella gore for a game with the name beast in it and less biter grabs I keep getting grabbed as if these zombies got sticky hands and long arms every 2 seconds in combat
