Do you have in mind a specifical part of the combat system?

I see what you mean, LOD and draw distance were really low in recent gameplays, the trees look like 2d models at far distances. I've noticed that the older 2013 footage, especially the debut trailer had massive draw distances. I'm curious as to if the draw distance will be any higher at ultra settings.
I hope in some settings for draw distance/LOD.
When Geralt is dodging and moving around, just doesn't look fluid like say a batman Arkham game or shadows of mordor.
It's a completely different system.
Batman and SoM are based on free flow system. Combat in TW3 has an entirely different ruleset.
Oh gosh, no complete free-flow please... I hate flying around the battlefield while hitting two different enemies. I'd rather have the ability to move/attack precisely as I want to. So if there are no enemies close to me and if I click on the attack button, I want Geralt to slice air. As far as I'm aware Witcher 3's combat is a mixture of Dark Souls and free-flow systems, which is exactly what is needed I'd say. Long story short, I'm loving what I've seen of combat so far. Some dodge rolls were a little bit extreme in the earlier footages, but the IGN and Gamespot videos have shown some amazing pacing, reality and precision in combat in my opinion.
Some animations and attacks definitely look jerky, but like I said in an old post, its because of the speed I believe, inconsistent speed that is.
@Jasheon try watching the combat footage in slow mo, you'll see animations usually blend really well.
Unfortunately this wont be "fixed" i think, I complained a while back that animations were too fast and accelerated but its too late now, and also im in the minority.
@moonknightgog I know geralt has to be fast, but I think it's overdone, I think there could be a more balanced middleground. I dont want normal human speed, but neither twitchy unnatural speed, thats all.
I take it as a sacrifice CDPR probably made in terms of having responsiveness in a much higher priority than animations, which is fine, but the inconsistency makes it look kind of bad. I'd rather have all of them going like that, not some moves believable and others not at all, that breaks my perception of how Geralt works.

Just the kind of video I've been waiting for. Was this recorded at the CD Projekt studio ages ago though? Because you see the old UI on screen in the background at 0:47.
Shaved Geralt looks kinda weird in this video, like a different person.
Also John Mamais is back
