Animations do look pretty stiff and awkward, for a game that focuses on weapon combat I can't believe they have such poor first person weapon animations. One second the axe/sword is in front of your face then it just "blinks" out of view and plays the swinging animation, there's no transition from holding it to swinging it.

I agree with the write up on Kotaku

the combat just looks very wooden. In fact I'd say that the combat is the worst part of the whole thing. When a character swings a weapon, there doesn't seem to be any impact at all. So basically when characters are fighting it just looks like a bunch of wooden dolls are fighting each other.

yeh it really does look like that and its fucked up because beth said they were specifically working on fixing that

but its clearly not fixed, those dudes have no reaction whatsoever
