No More Heroes. They is very little in life that is more satisfying than slicing five guy's heads off at once.
Condemned strike me as a good example. It just felt... Satisfying, impacting. Most other mêlée affairs is just pressing a button until the nasties give up and fall over. Furthermore, there's teeth. Many teeth... Condemned; the game that lets you play as the tooth fairy.
I also like how the guns worked in that game. They were lethal, and really felt like a firearm should; a deadly, efficient weapon. But they were also rare, and ammunition even rarer, so you usually ended up smacking people over the ears with a plank either way.
The only downside was the upgraded taser. After a while, you didn't even have to really bother. Tase them in the bum, and maybe give a little kick to send 'em over if that didn't do the trick.

that narrows the options to pretty much '0'. though I'm inclined to say Dark Souls when it comes out for PC anyway
ZENO CLASH! Fantastic looking first-person brawler that is really satisfying and easy to learn. It's around $15.
Not flashy and unrealistic? Oh so Bayonetta is a no then? 
Freakin' love that game. Fuck Angels man, being all divine everywhere. Just who the hell do they think they are?!
There's still that weird gap for me in spectacle fighter type games in that the main character (Dante, Bayonetta) are just being really damn badass and untouchable in cutscenes then it's just:
"ARGH 3 of these Claw Bitches at once? And cars all over the place?! Fucking noooooooooooo!"
I still love it when they send the crappy ordinary enemies at you at time to time, even on Hard. Trolololol infinite Witch Time activate!

Yeah, that's true. I haven't managed to run it since I got this PC. Quite a shame, it really has it charm.teh_Canape said:
Honestly, the atmosphere of that game put me off. It just felt wrong. I have no issue with creepy games, but something about Zeno Clash rubbed me the wrong way.TheYellowCellPhone said:
They are awesome ^^FlameAx said:
OT:
Hmmm, surprised so many people know about Oni, I thought it was quite an obscure game nowadays.
But yeah, Oni has epic combat.
There is also Chivalry, medieval warfare which looks EXTREMELY promising in terms of combat. In fact this looks like it will trump all of it's competitors when it's released.
Im really looking forward to that and war of the roses , I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this thread im going to try your reccemendations , ill definitely get dark souls on pc when it comes out the ps3 version had frame-rate issues that annoyed me alot , I just wish more games nowadays focus on animations and satisfying combat instead of graphics,basically im saying I'd like to see more games like riddick , condemned and dark messiah.lRookiel said:
So something fairly realistic with good melee combat?
Other than the ones mentioned, Dead Island is pretty good, very visceral. Definitely one you want to use a sword in, nothing like slicing up zombies with a katana haha, it's kinda like Dead Rising, only more realistic (as realistic as zombies can get I suppose).

Others have said it in this thread but I will repeat it.
Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City have the best melee combat in any game I've ever played, your hits feel powerful and you truly feel like you are a force to be reckoned with. That being said though, you will need to play it smart if you want to do well.
Honestly i feel like a lot of the reviewers who say the combat is too simplistic haven't touched the hard mode. That's where the kiddie boots come off, you need to time your counters perfectly, use stuns effectively, and actually vary up your tactics or you will die. A lot. Nevertheless it never feels unfair, there is no situation that cannot be solved through skill

Has nobody been playing Dragon's Dogma? Hot damn that's got a fantastic combat system, in terms of melee, archery and magic.
Seriously, has nobody been playing this??

Judging from your title list, I don't know if WH40K: Space Marine will appeal to you in terms of story, but my god does it have the most viscerally entertaining and fluid melee combat I've ever played. As an added bonus, switching from melee to ranged is equally fluid and works beautifully.
I'd highly recommend Space Marine for melee combat enthusiasts.
