Thread 712785817

I've never experienced a better game than this, how did they make such a masterpiece a decade ago that still holds up completely in visuals, music, and gameplay? are you as excited for the new DLC as I am, imagine that, a perfect 10/10 video game, and it gets new content updates a decade later just because.

I did not care for it

It's a snoozefest with trash gameplay

>>712786063
BRAVE

I unironically fell asleep not once but three times while playing this melodrama with a shitty and janky Ubisoft game tacked onto it. Though to be fair I was at college at the time so I would constantly fall asleep whenever I got bored

Hello underpaid CD shill
The game is okay and they’re only making another DLC to market Witcher 4 better. But, try as hard as you want. Witcher 4 will never sell well as Witcher 3 bcuz no one wants to play as some dish washer

Shame that CD Projekt RED can't make a fun combat system for the Witcher games, it's such a fucking snooze fest. Movement feels extremely stuff too. Shame because I love everything else about the game.

The finally made melee fun in Cyberpunk with the expansion so it gives me hope that they can finally do something similar with Witcher gameplay.

>>712786630
good because Witcher 4 is a day one purchase

All me.

problem with these moviegames is I can't even eat while playing because I'm not fat and do that sort of thing. at least when it is netflix I can watch with my meals

>>712785817 (OP)
That applies to the DLCs. The base game of TW3 aged like shit, Velen is a hideous brown smear, Novigrad is extremely superficial and Skellige is empty. The MSQ is horrible too. TW2 is a more refined, well paced game. It's like how the Witcher books were best with the short story prequels, this series should've been a collection of small 15-20 hour games, Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone as individual games.

>>712785817 (OP)
It's just way too long. It's one of those games people have like 500+ hours in. Combat is terrible and the sign post fast travel is annoying. It's cool just not for me.

>>712787802
The average playthrough with dlcs is probably like 120+ hours which is way too long for a game where the gameplay is wearing thin within the first 10 hours.

>>712788020
I got about 20 hours in and I'm good. Idc if I find Ciri anymore. So much dialog and story and menus and blah blah blah about some fag named dandelion

>>712785817 (OP)
>Cure Geralt's sterility in W2
>Fuck Shani raw in W3
What did I mean by this?

I did not care for the story nor characters. The combat wasn't enough to stay engaged either.

>>712785817 (OP)
First time I played it I loved the fuck out of it until the third act, save for the ciri sections which were just not fun and her character is cardboard. On replay the cracks really stuck out all over the game, I think I was starved of any good games for a long time leading up the release of this.

>>712787140
I do not think we will have the same ecstasy when the game launch as when we had when Avowed, Assasin Creed Shadows, Marathon, the few games featuring black and indian women launched, but I do think that it will be another KC2 : it will be a mid game, more of rug pull and betrayal of the original fan base and it will sell, but not that great. It will be forgotten in around 1 month. I think it is a flop-slop, but I do agree that it is not in even in the same ballpark as the other flop-slops. a 6/10 game by user reviews. 10/10 by journo reviews... of course.

>>712785817 (OP)
The Witcher had me hooked on my first playthrough. I love it. More new DLC just adds to its greatness. I hope it has Geralt and Ciri.

>>712785817 (OP)
Western devs have an amazing talent at creating absolutely goated narratives with absolutely dog shit game play. And since I play games for the gameplay I’m never playing the Witcher lmao.

>>712785817 (OP)
>are you as excited for the new DLC as I am, imagine that, a perfect 10/10 video game
Holy shit, missed that part about your post.
Makes sense that they'd want to bridge the gap between Ciri gaining witcher powers.
But in that case I don't think the protag of the DLC will be Geralt, meaning it will be Ciri.

>combat worse that fromslop

No wonder this shit got so much praise. It was all journos and snoys.

The assblast is very real

witcher 3 is fucking fantastic. matching oils and potions to enemy type and choosing your sword really makes you feel like a pro monster hunter

>choosing your sword
woah, I pressed right on the d-pad instead of left.....such immersion. what a triumphant masterpiece.

I wish they went all in on having cosmetic armor and weapons. It’s not like there’s any point to using non-school equipment

>>712785817 (OP)
I very much enjoyed the story and visuals but everything else is lacking. From RPG systems to the honestly quite mediocre combat. Both don't hamper the experience but they sure as hell don't elevate it. Witcher 3 is one of those games I'd never replay.

>>712790720
>Durr use fire on enemies that are weak to fire

Sidequestarinos the video game. And it's wonderful.

>>712785817 (OP)
Replay value is abysmal cause of pacing and placeholder tier combat and bosses. Also, refilling consumables through meditation is extremely shitty mechanic that fucks with already bad pacing, beaten only by copout crossbow that you need only for underwater bullshit and to make potentially interesting flying enemies into badly designed land enemies. Otherwise - decent visual novel, would recommend for a single playthrough. With that said I probably won't buy W4, cause without Dzherarudo as MC,i don't have my jaded edgelord sarcastic cunt self-insert, so visual novel aspect of it is moot. CDPR are very good with enviromental design, but i won't sit through 60 hours of dialogues just to jerk off to well rendered and nostalgia inducing swamps.

>>712793305
I might want to jerk off to the swamps, but they definitely have something to prove after cyberplunk.

>>712790720
it really outclasses the Monster Hunter franchise so fucking hard

>>712790871
>>712790997
and yet, in Monster Hunter you're fine with just mashing the attack button for 10 minutes only
really makes you think

>>712793305
Replay value is ridiculously high because of branching narrative, in what is essentially a fully enteractable television series.

>>712794390
cyberpunk is a tech demo, not a game. The other games are somewhat liked, but almost nay discussion about cyberpunk is a discussion of how well certain GPU drivers work, how do GPUs run it, what framerate, any fake frames for some GPUs? and so on.... i have seen more people talk about how cyberpunk runs on raspberry pi than about the gameplay. The gameplay may as well be just the top left corner GPU, CPU, Temps lines and numbers.

Look at the screenshot: cyberpunk gameplay is looking at the top left corner and making temps go down while frames go up.

>>712794735
Cyberpunk is nothing short of a masterclass of game design.

>>712785817 (OP)
Solid 7/10

>>712794491
in marketing yeah but MH blows every BItcher movie hard in variety and game play style. Unlike Bitcher your press more button than one to skip through dialogue or do one sword style over and over again.

>>712795020
fuck no it doesn't lmao

>>712794956
before it, the lara craft games were the benchmark games, so i will agree that its an improvement. cyberpunk is much more demanding game than the womb raider and it really does its purpose well. If I am going to test a GPU, i will install cyberpunk and walk in the city looking for stutters, average frames, GPU temp and so on. Riva Tuner is the launcher for Cyberpunk if you think about it as you first must have MSI Afterburner and then you install Cyberpunk

>>712794542
In Bitcher you just play one style only whereas in MH it offers so many attacks and interaction to the environment than dance round like a zesty bitch for hours fighting the same mobs and enemies for hundreds of hours.

>>712795127
There's no gun lance nor double swords in Witcher. You play as the same boring retard with the same spells and sword animations that don't feel as satisfying.

>>712794590
>listen to same 60 hours of dialogues and move between key NPCs, doing exactly same quests just to make like 5 somewhat meaningful choices.
>most of it will be unsatisfying anyway as they collide with well established personality of MC and his existing relationships

>>712795138
>>712794956
Cyberfornia is slop in mechanics and design.
It fucking sucks
>>712795138
>before it, the lara craft games were the benchmark games
Please don't lessen classic TR by caomparing it to Cyberfornia

>>712793863
kek

>>712794956
Cyberpunk is masterclass on level design with some questionable placements of enemies, but rest of it is average to above average. Game also struggles with pacing similarly to W3. If you follow main quest, you'll find yourself stuck in whats essentially dialogue heavy anime cutscene for like 2 hours before they'll let you play some game.

>>712795807
all I am saying is that those games are mainly used as benchmarks and I would not be suprised if the achievements for these games in places like Steam are absurd: I literally expect entering the main city to be something many players have done but killing an enemy to be rare even if killing an enemy is easy. there are many people who basically install cyberpunk to look at how their GPU works. Before it, the last Tomb Raider was the GPU Benchmark game.

I traded it for Transformers Devastation. Best decision in my life since I later watched how shit TW3 was on Youtube.

>>712795914
>I literally expect entering the main city to be something many players have done but killing an enemy to be rare
>retard makes retarded, easily verifiable predictions
woah what surprise

>>712796151
so.... 1/3 of people are are buying the game only to test their GPU.... and that is a counter argument to my claims somehow? How many people have entered the city with the many people ? I have never played the game but the benchmarks are always shot in the city.

i don't like open world games
convince me to play it

>>712796490
>I don't like burgers. Convince me to eat at burger king.

Itemization is cancer, there are like two healing items, anything else is a reskin.

>>712796490
Nah

>>712787410
W2 wasn't my favorite game either, but I gotta admit it was definitely well-paced, yeah.
One of those rare games where everything seems to drop in and move forwards exactly how and when it should.

I bought the game but people say you need to play 2 first

>>712785817 (OP)
I've had better. Also why are so many Yennefer simps actual literal cuckolds. You niggers are weird

>>712798873
You don't really "need" to. It helps understand some namedrops and events that get referenced, but there's nothing in it that makes you feel like you have to go back and do that one before proceeding.
It's got a system that determines some things based on your W2 savegames, but if you have none, it has a provision for that as well.
