I believe this was answered in a mail I sent you :D. We've been to an expo last weekend. Got a nice little video for you:

Think it looks really cool. Like the setting. Eagerly waiting for release.

Btw. Is it designed for mouse and keyboard?

Looks like one NPC gave up in the video, just wondering... can you let them go and just take their stuff or do you have to finish them off?

Hope that the retarded survival element is optional or left out of the game. Constantly jugging down food and drinks is a sure way to put me of the game.

It's not as clean as Risen.
That said, I like that fights can end really fast in melee, and the ability to kick people. If a dodge move could replace the rolling about, it'd be better, I guess.

SPOILER: If you will be able to persuade the guy not to blow up everything OR disarm all explosives - you won't have to take them out.

It's not optional but it's not too realistic or anything.

Regarding the mini-games - some people like them, some don't. I personally find them quite good in this game. But that's just me, a guy who is involved :D

Wait, being like Risen is a bad thing?

Risen has some of the best ARPG combat ever made.

It was and then Dark Souls was released.

Unfortunately Insomnia's melee combat seems to devolve into R1-spam and it's nowhere near Risen's combat level of quality: no rhythm / no parry / no counterattacks / no heavy attacks, the enemies don't show any attack patterns and they barely react when hit (just another case of brain damaged AI). Also I did not see any rolling or dodging in that preview video therefore even those might have been removed (!?) INSOMNIA_The_Ark can clarify.

Anyway I did not make the original comparison (that was done by Mebrilia) therefore I don't really care cause I already knew that the melee combat will suck. It's not the perfect solution but it's ok as long as it doesn't stay in the way of the exploration and C&C.

Wait, being like Risen is a bad thing?
No,thinking Risen have bad melee just point out how shit that person is! Mainly americans hate PB combat system,insomnia's combat system looks decent.

Decent like Stormy Daniels? :)




Edit: I was somewhat wrong.

Left Click -> Attack
Hold Left Click -> Heavy Blow
Hold Right Click -> Block Hits
Space + Left/Right -> Dodge
Space + Forward -> Kick (!?)

INSOMNIA_The_Ark Okay, cool, but I mean the guy in this video:



6:54 in the video. Should start at that point. Looks like that mook gave up?


It is understandable with these combat mechanics :)

But more important is that we don't give up on the game just because of this.

Don't know how people find going to your inventory every five minutes and right clicking on food and water entertaining?! Only decent hunger/thirst implementation is in Kingdom Come,once every few hours.

"Imagine Fallout without turn-based combat" :)

Edit: Fuck. The retard is spoiling the game.

Melee combat needs some improvements, that's for sure. And regarding food and drinks - as I said this won't bug you too often but you will have to eat once in a while.

I open up a thread about a game I've never heard of previously. I see a video embed named "new Fallout". I open it and I see third person walking simulator.
I want to die.
