Combat is...uh... a bit boring.

Yeah, I agree with the combat system comments.

Not that they couldn't improve it by the time of release, but as it stands the combat looks really stiff.

Batman AA had a certain level of grace to it. It wasn't just fast, it was fluid and while perhaps not every punch and kick landed due to hitbox issues, the combat was so well done that you simply didn't notice because you were having so much fun being a badass

Here, well, it just looks boring. The animations lack in variation for one. The enemies seem either too easy or they simply don't gang up on Capt. America like they do in AA. Also, stuff like the shield stuns them for WAY too long and can hit FAR too many guys at once.

Granted, they were just trying to demonstrate the system so the AI is probably on the easiest setting possible. But the combat still needs quite a bit of work. In order to feel like a super hero, the game needs to present the combat not in a one on one state, but rather a "hit you, then I'll hit you and then I'll hit you ALL the way over there because I'm a badass as you can't stop me!" kind of moment.

I'm still pleased enough to keep an eye on this game, but they're going to have to show me something more with this.

And then Cap'ums taught the Nazis how to tumble.

That looked remarkably meh. About the only thing it did do is make me excited for the new Batman game since I know that will be good.

Those were some really stiff animations. As for the game itself, it looks kinda meh. Just how id imagine a movie tie-in.

Perhaps it's because people still find the swastika as an offensive symbol of hate and death. I believe I read that the swastika has its origins in Buddhism and in no way bears the horrible stigma that it is now associated with. But people still associate it with the Nazis and is still considered a symbol of hate, so much so that Germany has grown super-sensitive about its Nazi past and I believe have since made it illegal to depict the swastika. So maybe Sega and Marvel don't want to risk having the game banned over there for depicting the swastika.

i think what bothers me the most is that he puts his shield up onto his back after almost every attack and he immediately stands upright when not fighting. seems kinda lazy but hopefully they'll tighten up the animations.

Is anyone else repulsed by the horrible character design? Cap just looks downright ugly and embarrassing to me

So much slow motion.

I wish they had used the movie version of the outfit. I like it more than the one from the comics.

The combat does seem dull here, but like sobik88 said, I think some of that's due to the guy demoing it. It looks a little better in other clips I've seen. Maybe this was his first time playing or something, idk.

The coolest thing I've seen in this game so far is the "Crippling Strike" slo-mo punch to the face. That looks fun. :)

This is a day-one buy for me, anything Cap related is already money outta my wallet.

Combat looked dull, either the game was on easy, the AI was bad due to being an early build or the AI is just going to suck ass in general. Game could still be good though. The enemies in Arkham were dumb shits and that game was still fun.
