I always hated the autoleap on TW2, same as i did on Shadow of Mordor and Batman. If you compare it to Dark Souls 2 where:
1) Left click, has an attack
3 )Right click a different attack, especially if you dual weild, or block.
2) Double left click has a different strong attack
3) Double right click another different strong attack, or a parry
4) Forward+click, different attack-> Guard break
5) Forward+double click, different attack-> jump attack
6) backstep+click, different attack-> backstep attack
7) Roll+click different attack-> roll attack
8 )Running+ click, different attak-> running attack
So 8 basic attack patterns, all completely controlable by the player and the buttons pressed. If you count that 2 handing the same weapon will give a different set of attacks, strong attacks if chained have a follow up different attack, you can also use magic, and situational attacks, like plunging attack, backstab or riposte, you have a rediculous amount of attacks, all 100% manually controled by the player
On TW2 you had:
1) Double Click: Strong attack, completely controlable
2) Single Click: A set of randomly generated attacks, with auto leaping, where you had 0 control over them :/
That's why i am really hoping that TW3's combat is closer to DS rather than batman, and i am glad that some reviewers thought that this is the case. Autoleap, followed with an automated random hit is the worst thing to do in my hoinest opinion.
