Which [non fighter] game has the best combat?

I've been playing a lot of Alan Wake lately and I think the combat is really good, thought it would make a good thread, so which game has the best combat?

I'm stuck between Arkham City and Dark Souls, I'm inclined towards Dark Souls TBH.

Mario. Gotta stick with the classics. Plus it's simple and easy. Jump, fireball, twirl. Can't beat it.

Anyone that thinks the Batman games have good combat is a moron.

Depends on what kind of combat you're talking about, as yangire indirectly pointed out.

It is hard to say, there are different types of combat in games.

But the Batman one's are definately the most refined combat mechanics I have ever played. So I'm going to go with that. In terms of FPS it is Killzone 3, the combat in that is brutal and so refined.

Really?

God of War's combat is pretty shallow as far as hack and slash games go and tho I love the Pokemon games and think they are some of the best RPGS out there, I think most RPGs with a decent battle system has a better battle system than Pokemon. I mean, it only has four moves. Compare that to something like Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy VI, which give you a myriad of options, and it comes across as unreasonably limited. The saving grace is that Pokemon lets you have so many potential party members.

Spock chockes on rock, bleeds out from paper cut, dies from infection from rusty scissors during vasectomy, crash lands into Jurrasic park.

At least you realize fighting games have a big edge when talking about video game combat.

DMC3.

Inclined to agree since it was one of the answers I was thinking...

But it doesn't mean Arkham games have bad combat. I think the freeflow system is actually cool and captures the awesomeness of Batman... you see, in order to be a good system, I don't think it's gotta have complex button inputs or being able to perfoms crazy ass combos like those in DMC3.

Still, good choice mate.

I just think the gameplay feels automatic or cheap. It feels like Batman just starts flying around randomly with huge windows to do counter. I understand that its main audience are general Batman fans, and as such they should be focusing on them rather than just pandering to gameplay fanatics.

You feel it's automatic and cheap because you're used to complex sh!t man, but it doesn't mean everybody needs the hardcore stuff as much as you do. Kinda like Some_Mist is obsessed with the bullte hells, not everybody is into that...

Anyway, it must to be a sad gen when no other game comes close to the complexity you want in your combats (probably just Bayo)

Nah. I can enjoy things that I don't recognize to be as good as my favorites. My favorite game this gen is a warriors style game for christs sake. :P

Anything that offers more than just weapon loadouts, like Advance Wars or Starhawk.

God of War

Ninja Gaiden 3 (only the demo i played)

Red Fraction Armageddon was pretty good ... knocking down buildings is always fun ... its gun based really but every now N then its fun to sledgehammer away

Bulletstorm is o k ... over the top nonsense N very arcade like N gun base kicking gameplay into enviroments

Nier is ok also ... its hit or miss on a lot of people though ... there is no its o k its mostly you likey or you hatey
