It seems like you people love straw manning, but let's try it again.
The swordmanship is also unrealistic. Geralt vs an armorer shield lancer will last just one stab... Is a game, just have fun
We aren't talking about "imperfect simulation", we are talking about anatomic movements that are completely off for fist fighting.
They put at least some effort in this sense with sword fighting, even if the end result is less than 100% accurate... that effort lacks entirely on the hand-to-hand combat, which is not "somewhat inaccurate", but completely not believable.
I'm not saying "If you were an Olympian athlete you'd notice this small detail would be slightly unrealistic", I'm pointing that these characters "boxing" hardly look like goddamn human beings in the process. Their movements are ENTIRELY off compared to reality. And not even in a cool, abstract, stylized way. They are just clumsy and uncoordinated.
Since someone has mentioned running a boxing gym, and how that affects the way he sees the fighting in a video game.... CDPR I run a soccer academy here in Texas, and I believe that the running in The Witcher 3 doesn't look satisfactory in the slightest. Please patch in or update the game in some way so that the character running animations look believable. As I said, I run a professional Soccer Academy here in Texas and seeing them run and then seeing how the characters run seems kinda off.
kkthxbye.
Well, the running looks odd, indeed. Not sure why that would be specifically related to practicing soccer, anyway, buy hey.
Oh, wait. I get it, this must be one of these scenarios where people will defend the game no matter what... because that's a lot more reasonable than admitting it could improve in some area, I guess?
