Basic attacks in games

Does BDO apply here? Cause it's all about movement-based attacks.

The question is difficult, actually...

So like, Monster Hunter?

(please don't take this the wrong way I have no other quick way to say it)
MMO players don't often play more complex Action games, so I have no way to tell if you are in that camp, or the camp who does play them but is asking about something completely different because of inexperience.

In that case, can I also assume that 'Basic Attack' means 'use your primary weapon, little or no special flourish or windup'?

I would need a way to distinguish 'games where one does flashy things with your standard primary weapon' from 'standard things done with the primary weapon'. To me, a 'Basic Attack' usually only means the second one, but I might be jumping too far.

EDIT: Figured out how to ask properly.

I think that martial arts game that you keep mentioning to me would probably fit. I keep forgetting its name Wanted to post it here, cause it looked like you do "basic attacks" there, but they all have different executions.

Ok, that's somewhat helpful, overall though, it comes up because Action Games of the type don't have a Hotbar to begin with.

Forgive me, I really do forget that these experiences are not 'commonly known to everyone'.

@NiKr , Absolver is effectively a fighting game though, and I feel like one doesn't count those EVEN if it is functionally the same. Hence why I asked about Monster Hunter to begin with. Absolver is probably much past that, despite being playable with KBM (Apparently the KBM players are quite good at it, it's actually slightly easier because you can use the mouse itself for stance changes differently)

"Any game"'s any game So in a way fighting games are the exact thing with the unique basic attacks. And when you then take those mechanics into a non-2d games - that's even more unique. So I feel like it fits.
