>>717073018 (OP)Terrible combat.
Place of power... Should draw from it.
>>717074403This, with the benefit of hindsight. At the time it was a minor annoyance offset by the world building and story and pretty graphics, but trying to play it again these days it just gets on my fucking nerves. I've finished it once and enjoyed it for what it was, that's good enough.

>>717075019Calm down there's no need to foam at the mouth grandad
It really hasn't. Yes, the gameplay kinda sucks but honestly no game has managed to capture the "long adventure in fantasy land" feel like Witcher 3 does. Travelling through different places, cities, doing quests for it's people and making an impact is something no game since then replicated. Even BG3 feels really small in it's scale in comparison.
>>717075364>Travelling through different places, cities, doing quests for it's people and making an impactLiterally every single RPG does this
>>717073018 (OP)Sorry but I don't want to play as a grumpy sterile grandpa jobbing for bossy women
Next year, we're getting The Blood of Dawnwalker, pretty much Witcher 3.5.
Looks like it inherited TW3 storytellerd from CDPR.
>>717073018 (OP)Great game but it's a chore to replay and yes I consider that a flaw. Committing to another 150 hour playthrough is a legitimately fucked up.
>>717073018 (OP)Good story, writing, graphics, soundtrack, atmosphere, character designs, art direction. Appallingly dogshit combat that makes it impossible to ever replay.
>>717075425The difference is in the writing imo.
No fantasy game before or since as the maturity of The Witcher's writing.
All other fantasy video games feel weird one way or another.
TES' encyclopaedic loredump style combined with its chosen one plot feels incongruent and infantile.
Larian games suffer the cringe soiboi Belgian style humour.
The Witcher sort of feels like on the level of a good fantasy novel, stuff written pre-'00s, with very deep worldbuilding. Few, almost no video games have writing on the level of a written novel let alone a decent one. Characters are mature, complex, and logical in their own way which makes them feel realistic.
There's never the need to suspend disbelief as in other games where you lack the ability to predict how a character behaves, because they have no fully fleshed characterizations and are just slaves to what the plot demands and the whims of the amateur writers of those games.
>>717074970You can play most games by spamming just one attack, but why would you? It gets boring pretty quick.
>>717073018 (OP)Bloodtroons snoyjeets are STILL seething about this game
>>717076046Also it's almost unbelievable how this was achieved given it's a Polish studio.
Like how does a Polish studio not only not have the same typical pitfalls of Russian/European-written games but manages to have such a deep understanding of anglo-centric storytelling styles? Like they either had incredible English localization teams that worked in tandem with development, or the developers all received private (public in England in Wales) English educations.
If you told me The Witcher 2 was a British game I'd believe you.
>>717076445>anglo-centric storytelling stylesYou do know they're based on Polish books
>>717076445>anglo-centric storytelling styles?literally based on northern european mythologies (mainly slavic)
>>717074602Combat was worse than Skyrim.
>>717073158amazing gameplay, terribad writing in act 3.
>>717073018 (OP)Is it actually good? I heard the combat is shit but the story is kino. Should I pick this up on my Switch 2?
>>717076717>Is it actually good?If you're dumb enough to fall for it you deserve to part with your money.
>>717076498>>717076542I know I'm not really talking about the plot or the myths (which are pan-pagan anyways, Celts had wild hunt and avalon is matter of britain/france), I'm talking about the style and presentation. Like you had NPCs talking in British slang or whatever, whoreson etc.
>>717076751I'm fucking rich I don't care about money. I just want a good game. Currently playing monke bananza
>>717076759They had actual English writers for that, but swearing is inherently Slavic
As is all the sarcasm and moaning about the state of the world which is at the core of the Witcher books
>>717076717The combat is not shit, it's just that thousands of /v/ normalniggers played the game because of marketing while never having touched an RPG before
The combat is servicable for an RPG, it's more stat-based than you'd think. All the quest writing and story is great
The open world is the only true negative, there's nothing unique to find that isn't tied to a sidequest that sends you there
>>717076848>swearing is inherently SlavicOh is it you fookin' cunt?
>>717076717It's really good. Combat is perfectly fine for a game like this.
toussaint is the best gaming world that has ever been made
>>717077023There are just as many profanities in English t bh
So many that a lot of them have been incorporated into every day speech and no longer considered crass.
>>717076816The gameplay is awful bamham combat and you basically hold down a single button to make your horse auto run down roads, where you stop at points of interest in a generic open world to kill 5 generic bandits and get a treasure chest full of generic loot with entirely vertical progression. Other than this its all cutscenes, there is absolutely nothing else. There was supposed to be a system where you studied monsters and prepared the necessary ingredients to leverage against their weaknesses beforehand via alchemical ingredients, but actually this doesn't work because one buff clearly outperforms all others, so this system has mostly been restructured into unavoidable quests that handhold you the entire way and string you between objectives like an MMO. There is even a magic smell-o-vision to lead you to objectives because visually the game is made to look like a movie and terrain features are hard to distinguish. The writing is also bad. It's like an HBO or netflix movie where the NPC just monologues about meaningless edgy shit in a deep voice, and then something gay and quirky happens, like drinking a magic potion that let's him understand his horse that talks like a hollywood jew. I am not exagerrating when I say it is the most offensively anti-video game normalfag movies ever made.
And here's the writing people praise.
https://youtu.be/DebCeu5xUgw
It's probably the most cynical and depressing thing I have ever played. Everything about it feels like a sterile corporate product carefully pieced together in a board room of executives and investors, everything is dumbed down and delivered with condescending irony, like the writers have active disdain for their audience and this is just another day of feeding the pigs at the trough.
>>717077510Ok, but tell me how you really feel
Do Witchers do big loads? Can they spaff at all? What does it taste like? So many unanswered questions.
>>717077612I feel like the person who made this thread, and makes other awful threads on normalfag rpgs all day, should be slow roasted in one of those bronze bulls they used to torture people in ancient Greece. Not a single person would miss them. There's really no excuse for pushing this garbage and it has made me hate Poland.
>>717077510>nu-brony thinks his opinion matters
>>717077976I refunded this game after 30 minutes. God bless steam.
>>717078129I don't see a single counter-argument in this post. I am replaying Factorio today for the first time in 8 years and checking out the new expac and genuinely having fun. How fun it is to play actual video games instead of depressingly seeking out movies meant to be consumed and thrown away.

>>717077510>And here's the writing people praise.Well, that's certainly a typical quest in a dark fantasy game.
>>717080091>There is no video game genre more casual than RPGsCorrect. I think even umamusume is more complex than the most complex RPG. This presents a problem, because RPGs become an anti-gatekeeping mechanism and you get people praising crap all day. Like this thread. Like yeah, PoE is a deep game with a very complex economy, but you can't discuss it because desperate retards will spam the catalogue with other ARPGs for months as a result.

>>717080334It's objectively more complex and there's a reason there's a 147 page mechanical guide to succeeding in PvP floating around. Is it a hard game? Of course not. I just don't think you realize how retarded you are. Morons think they're genius for flow charting into slight variations on 20 year 3.5e feat stacking strategies in owlcat games then autopiloting through the game, or worse yet just looking up builds.

>>717079880I may be retarded for asking this but why do you like Stalker when you claim Witcher 3 is bad?
As far as i know Stalker has janky controls, bad gunplay and lots of clutter, the side quests are all shallow, the narrative is halfassed, no memorable character in sight, the only saving grace Stalker has is the atmosphere, everything else is not good, so my question is why is The Witcher 3 so bad but Stalker 2007 is so good?
I hope W4 bombs and normies will be stuck playing that game for the next decade or so.

gameplay is bad, the story is fucking retarded, graphics were downgraded because thirdies couldn't run the original build this game is not remotely good in any sense of the word
I love Witcher 3 even with its flaws, it's one of my favorite games, I just really enjoy traversing the world and taking in the scenery and talking to an entirely white population (outside of a few shitskin jeets who are confined to small areas in one DLC). The fact that one of the haters in this thread is a gacha loving lolicon is all I need to reaffirm that my opinion is good and right.

>the side quests are all shallowThat can't be true because I spent over 300 hours collecting stashes and artifacts in GAMMA, the locations of which were directly pulled from the original trilogy, and had lots of fun navigating through these unique setpieces.
SoC is a good game with smart progression unlike Witcher 3, a genuinely alive world unlike the NPCs in Witcher 3, side content that isn't just generic points of interests unlike witcher 3, and tells most of its story environmentally without smell-o-vision unlike Witcher 3. See where I'm going with this? I could do this all day.

Isn't it janky and too basic? i played a lot of First Person shooters and most of them have far superior gunplay than this.
And i did finish the game but im struggling to remember a single side quest, they are that forgettable, all i remember was coming across a random character (npc) and i help them so they can tell me where their stash is which is just more of the same loot.
What do you mean with smart progression?
I agree that the world of Stalker is alive, i called the game to have good atmosphere because of that immersive world, but beyond that i really struggle to find highlights in the game, there are no qualities that deserve praise here.
If you can explain that i may be able to understand where you are coming from.

https://youtu.be/PeFiMkwMo_k?si=Od5Brz-aMScSVK8N&t=25
Additionally, there is a wide variety of weapon types with different purposes, unlike New Vegas where all weapons are just DPS and you just use your chose weapon type for all engagements. This, additionally, feeds into the survival horror aspect because you're managing ammunition.
>And i did finish the game but im struggling to remember a single side quest, they are that forgettableThat's because some of them are generated by A-life, but some aren't, and if you aren't exploring the world you won't see them. NPCs are scripted to seize certain tactically advantageous locations and ambush you. The world feels alive because the things you're doing aren't tied to a narrative, its more so "I'm going to go get this nearby stash, but oops, a ton of crazy shit happened and a giant firefight broke out between patrolling factions then mutants killed everyone." As the series progresses more unique sidequests are added in, like a bandit posing as an injured loner then ambushing you, but these are done so organically and naturally you can easily overlook them. The things you are complaining about are telling, its things like "why isn't there a cinematic storyline, why isnt the loot special" instead of "was this world interesting to navigate" or "was this stash a fun adventure to find".

>>717082891Sure, but you should realize Witcher 3 gets Spammed with hate threads while Yakuza doesn't, when haters never shut up about the game it compels fanboys to respond. Its a two way street bro.
Also Yakuza has the same issues as Witcher 3 but nobody calls it out, it has a lame skill tree, shit combat, bad quests and quest rewards, clunky and unresponsive controls and shallow rpg elements, it also has far lower enemy variety, its even worse.
Its also a cutscene riddled game but even worse you get zero control over the cutscene you just watch the game flip and flop back and forth between a cutscene and a standing talking faces with dialogue boxes that has padded out exposition text that treats you like a retard.
Worst of all the game has shit writing and has plot issues every chapter, characters get rewritten, asspulls every twist, it keeps bringing back characters from the dead in a cheap shock factor bait, the pacing is awful, characterization is barely thought about, the side quests are just meme with zero thought or genuine depth.
And ofcourse the presentation is ass, game looks subpar and its animation, sound mixing and directing are several tiers below Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk.
Yet it gets zero criticism, everyone sucks its dick because funny kiryu and majima or something.

None of these threads are genuine. Not a single person is making threads about a game they hate.

>>717084581Side quests don't directly relate to the main story in the vast majority of cases, but they do frame the current events in a way that helps make the setting seem more believable to sell you the world.

>>717083631The cutscene and its directing is far superior in Witcher 3 than that to Yakuza 0, not sure about Judgement because i didn't play it.
Look at Hearts of Stone, its directed like a B film (B=middle budget) and it shows, meanwhile you have a game like Yakuza 0 with presentation that is very inconsistent, often flip floping between talking faces and actual cutscene, takes you out of the tension that happens back to a static talking face scene with keyboard dialogue box sound, Witcher 3 cinematics is on par with movie games despite being open world with choices all the way through its cutscenes. not to mention the much better writing too.

I told you Witcher 3 had a dedictated subreddit to hating it 24/7 every normalfag ever complains about the combat, every Rockstard fangay cries about how RDR2 is so much better (its not) and yet nobody mentions a thing about yakuza 0, you have to dig so deep in the internet to find a negative review about it.

>>717077308The way Polish is structured as a language allows for a crazy variety of slurs, and there's definitely many more words and variations in Polish and likely most slavic languages than English, some of them funny, and Witcher (both books and games in their original localization) use that really well. As a poorlack I always lament that people who enjoy witcher and don't know Polish will always receive a slightly worse version of it. Being fluent in both languages I really see how much the series gains from the expression allowed by the Polish language.
Not to say Witcher's horrible in english (unless you play witcher 1, then install the mod that fixes the fucking dogshit rushed english translation subtitles) but after playing W3 both in Polish and English the latter being when streaming for 'murican friends the difference is great.

>>717088556>that a choice matters for you having made it.This is obviously true, yet devs do exploit this. Looking outcomes up, just to see that devs de facto lied to you sours the experience pretty much. I might be wrong, but games have too many text(s) and too many spoken words. I'd rather have the quantity reduced by 2/3 and the quality multiplied times three. Too much asked for, it seems.

This is the equivalent of 'fucking' which can mean all of these different things when properly used, and the Witcher series uses that really well. Obviously, for a polish series.

>>717084989>And none of them have it all in one package like W3 :)And that's a good thing. When a game tries being good at so many things it often ends up being mediocre or worse. Cyberpunk 2077 is the prime example of this. It tries to be a car game, a RPG with deep and meaningful choices, a FPS with action-packed gunplay, a stealth game with different ways of approaching situations, a cinematic crime story, etc. etc. However, it fails on pretty much all fronts and just ends up being a pretty "meh" game. I'd pick Deus Ex: Mankind Divided over it any day of the week, and that game still has major flaws.

Witcher 3 directing is consistent, it follows a formula that allows you to be interactive during its presentation, this is done while keeping the same animation and cutscene quality as you find during a movie game, and at the same time its consistent throught the game even with side quests.
Meanwhile Yakuza 0 is a game that keeps flip flopping between static talking face and an actual cutscene, the directing is bad because of this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlXSxy5G-fw
Witcher 3 has a much better cinematics and presentation because its directing is more consistent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8gQ0vcKgWU
This is much better, the tension keeps flowing and not cut to serve a talking head box of dialogue.
This interaction is visual novel tier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVBqw1eYdOE
one face at a time
Meanwhile this is one of the best romance cutscenes in gaming up to this date.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0eU8HsIRaE
Its clear how much better W3 presentation is, cutscenes are much more natural, and more interconnected with the dialogue and how you play the game.
I dont think i need to point out how retarded the writing in Yakuza 0 was, the game is filled with plot holes its not even funny.
Witcher 3 is much more coherent with its writing because it takes its audience seriously and respects their intelligence.
>>717091847You can also add rage 2 to that picture, wasn't a master piece but it was a really fun game, better than doom really
>>717091881i see. i never read the books so good recommendation. will check it out
>>717092742nta but are there many movie games with this kind of directing during cutscenes? I love how the camera pans during the regular dialog. true cinema kino
only other one i can think of is mass effect 2. - that was true cinema kino as well
>>717092747cmon, be serious. rage 2 is shit and is a downgrade from rage 1 and even that was far from good
>>717090494>Deus Ex: Mankind DividedMD has the same problems that plague Yakuza 0, its directing is very shit, it keeps flip flopping on itself and the result is less tension and all the stakes are gone.
At least MD has good level design and a skill tree that can be called a skill tree but beyond that its significantly worse than Cyberpunk 2077 and its a disgrace compared to the OG game that came 25 years ago.

Mafia a game released in 2001 or something has better directing than Yakuza 0.
Mafia Lost City of Haven is not just better directed than Yakuza, its also better written.
Graphics are outdated but everything else that is narrative related is well made.
>>717093502Mafia 1 remake is better. Sorry
>>717093783oh i already played that recently. excited for the next one releasing next week iirc
But it's not exactly a good game
The dialogue is fun, the world is beautiful, side quests have more depth than the main story, but the combat is abysmally boring
At some point I just dropped the difficulty to the lowest and ran through the tedious battle sections so that I could get to the fun bits of exploring the world and doing witcher work aka detective shit.
There are myriad games I would rather play over and over again than pick up TW3 again. If you have no such games, you haven't played many games in your life.

>>717095968can polish that turd however much you want. It will still be shit
>>717092742Pretty much this. Yakuza 0 isn't bad game, it has strong story parts, but what you forgot it's how the pacing is constantly off and how much pointless conversation it has. In Witcher 3 you feel like every dialogue bring something important, in Yakuza 0 characters repeat the same shit over and over and talk about their feelings for hours. This isn't only a problem with Yakuza, but for many Japanese games from Atlus or Falcom for example. Many times, they are also extremely kitschy and cringe with characters overacting. I think I'm just too old for Japanese writing
>>717093268>MD has the same problems that plague Yakuza 0, its directing is very shit, it keeps flip flopping on itself and the result is less tension and all the stakes are gone.No one plays MD for the story. It's the level design and gameplay that make it enjoyable.

>I find it funny how CDPR writers who are Polish can write better (English stories) than North American writers who are English, this shit is so funny broOnce again, no one plays MD for the story. Even people who love the game hate on the cliffhanger ending (though to be fair Squeenix is partially to blame for that).
>>717073092Played both recently and I can say no, no it's not.
>>717073018 (OP)I will never play this shit because the combat looks gay and jank. Once you plays a souls like or a hack and slash this type of shit is unenjoyable.
I'm playing through it for the second time right now after having read all 8 books + replayed 1 and 2 again.
First time I played it, I went in totally blind.
So interesting to play it again as a full /witcher head/.
Some things are even more impressive about Witcher 3 a decade later, some things are disappointing.
Like the sound mixing and implementation, so surprised no one mentions this ever, it's literally one of the worst things about the game, the music is so static, and rarely changes to fit the mood of conversations, and it's so fucking loud. Hearing the gwent music blaring talking to Priscilla or Triss in Novigrad about the Witch Hunters or some other dark and serious conversation is so fucking dumb lol.
Luckily Cyberpunk doesn't have this issue at all, so they learned.

>>717098802I'm not complaining about the music itself retard-kun, just the sound mixing and the way it's implemented and the un-dynamic nature of it
>>717098584What's so fantastic in souls combat? I mean, it's better than Witcher 3 but doesn't really blow it away. Almost every boss and enemy is circle around and roll until he make move than attack with same move and over. It's not really that masterpiece.
>>717084872>KCD has more interesting side questsWhat do you mean by more interesting side quests? Can you give examples?
>>717099008>>717099083Having played recently, I think W3 combat is decent, but the main problem is that the enemies move sets are so extremely fucking predictable, that even using mods to speed up their attack animations doesn't make it any harder really.
It makes me appreciate Fromshit so much more, the amount of fine-tuning to make interesting and challenging enemies to fight takes so much work, it makes sense that's those games main focus, not suprising that W3 couldn't and doesn't decidate their entire dev cycle to crafting attacks for drowners.
But it makes it so that the game becomes incredibly easy no matter what really, not sure how to make it harder
Like the black knights from DS1 have a more challenging moveset than almost anything in witcher 3
>>717099083Souls combat is simplistic and basic, its not deep but normalfags heard about the Souls games being LE HARDCORE so they made it their personality to finish the game and once you finish the game you get the "Finished Souls Game Award" and now you are Elite gamer who gets to shit talk LE CASULS
It doesn't matter that the combat is basic and most enemies are a variation of the same thing, like yeah the enemy design is better than Witcher and the game is more challenging which leads to a more satisfying victory, but i mean ok, Witcher 3 was never about that?
Try doing this with Final Fantasy 7 and Persona 5, super popular JRPGs, tell the fans that these games have worse turnbased combat than lets say Xcom2, nobody fucking cares, other games are brought up only to shit on Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk.
Technically Final Fantasy 16 combat looks more competent than Witcher 3 but i enjoyed playing Witcher 3 more, games like Dragons Dogma and FF16 despite their combat being better they shove hoards of similar enemies down your throat to the point you grew tired of it, encounter design matters.
>>717076498kinda, it's not following plot of any particular book
>>717076542again, only some background information that devs could get from folklore
>>717098839>I don't disagree that its better than witcher 3 though
>>717098584>you can't enjoy anything else in witcher once you've played a souls or action gameI didn't know I was solely obsessed with combat to the exclusion of everything else, thanks for that insight about myself anon.
Base game alone is amazing but with the addition of two of the best DLCs I've ever played it might very well be my favourite game
I've reinstalled because of this thread but instantly remembered everything that happens in this game and already got bored in White Orchard.
>>717101318Its a boring game to replay, but its a good game to play one time.
>>717075425> Literally every single RPG does thisThey all suck ass at it.
>>717101394Yes, it was a fantastic adventure when I played it for the first time.
>>717101318White Orchard is a pretty boring starting area, it's worse than the opening of Witcher 2 for sure, and maybe worse than the opening village of Witcher 1.
>>717099221Geralt is basically a stoic demon who can slaughter 30 men without breaking a sweat or feeling anything. That creates some distance between the player and the storyline. But in KCD, Henry being a bumpkin makes things matter a lot more
whether it's helping out an old prostitute or stealing money from a guard
also a lot more comedic value
>>717101506In retrospect, it seems pretty insane to even make a tutorial zone. Like players wouldn't understand that they can run to a question mark on the map to clear a copypasted monster nest if they didn't first do it in a smaller world?
I got to the third fight and realized I would not like playing this game. Is the story really worth it? I might bump it down to easy mode and see the story through.
Blood and Wine was so KINO bros........

Listen to this accordion. Fucking majestic.
>>717101528Relateable you mean? Either way I find KCD's writing to be mediocre and its highs are presented between Henry and Hans.
There's really nothing that stands out in terms of quests in KCD for me. Certainly not like Baron or Heart of stone did.
>>717101616>Is the story really worth it?The first third-ish is pretty good purely because of the characters and not the actual overarching story but it nosedives hard after that imo. In the next third of the game the side quests are cool if you find the setting itself interesting but if not there's really not much to enjoy as far main story goes. It just kind of meanders from that point onwards then in the last third it becomes really bad.
>>717096012>>717099008>>717099256the biggest problem is that early game is just rolling around and hitting stuff, it gets more fun when you unlock new abilities but that takes like 50 hours

>>717103015most people arent racist towards keanu reeves
>>717104294Why do people use this horrid site?
>>717104651No idea, it filled with Turks and Brazilians.
No matter what you say, 18 years later and this game still relevant.
>>717104651It's the perfect tool for zoomers

>>717104761I can't tell if the website is so shit it doesn't have basic language filters or if it's genuinely 30% spics.
>>717073018 (OP)This game sucks, it was surpassed even by cp77. Witcher 3 has shit gameplay so there's no point to playing it
>>717104843Exactly, its filled with 15-20 year old drooling over their slop, i kid you not, its full of these kids and they shit talk popular games and think Disco Elysium is the greatest game of all time.
Its retarded
>>717105208>and think Disco Elysium is the greatest game of all timeIt is.
>>717105275Disco Elysium is no more than a 7/10 game and thats on a good day and if we are being generous.
>>717105358theres no game with better writing
>>717105418Why didnt the white soldiers throw a bomb on their enemies instead of shooting and missing their attacks conveniently?
ARGHHHH Witcher 3 BAD BAD
My favorite game, its Assassin's Creed Black Flag Ayooooo
If all Witcher 3 haters were like the loli avatar fag i would be fine with it, but they are literally disingenuous retard stinky fucks, so i will always disrespect them and their opinions
>>717106036That avatarfag claims CSGO among his favorite games btw
>>717106193I'm fine with it, he is consistent.
CSGO is probably the best pvp shooter game currently.
>>717105809Typically theres existing game franchise fans who have critiques like:
"w3 isnt dark souls, wtf. I wanted dark souls, w3 sucks at being dark souls"
"w3 isnt GTA, wtf. Wheres all the police chases???? What the fuck is cdpr even trying to accomplish here?"
"w3 isn't Skyrim, cdpr should be making a bethesda game instead of something good"
Besides the "cdpr isnt another studio Im a fan of" theres no big critiques.
>>717106239He's not consistent at all. He cries constantly about console games but has many console games on his 10x10. Yes a fucking 10x10.
>>717073018 (OP)where's the soul though?
>>717106420you only like w1 because it takes 10% as long to finish as w3 and the ease of replaying it makes you mistake the multiple times experience same content as being more memorable
>>717106420Are you excited for the Dawnwalker game?
>>717106582Damn I always thought I liked it because I randomly picked it up in a store in 2008 and loved it. My bad
>>717106330He also complains about Redditors while having BG3 on his grid.
>>717106687so you played it in 2008 and never replayed it since
>>717106239>CSGO is probably the best pvp shooter game currently.Tarkov moggs the shit out of that normie slop.
why even make it a "rpg" at all if you can't even do anything drastic or out of character?
>>717106740I replayed it twice since then. Why are you flailing wildly trying to le epically own me?
>>717106682yes because it feels like witcher 1
>>717106330Many? most of his games are PC games, what games are you referring to?
>>717106813CSGO has much better map design.
>>717106962>Demon's Souls>Sekiro>Devil May Cry 5>God Hand>Resident Evil 1>Ape Escape 2>Donkey Kong Country>Duck Tales>Tomba
>>717106818The entire game you make moral choices that there is no clear answer to. Whether to release the tree spirit or do the lady of the woods bidding. Whether to kill the Cat school Witcher. Who to put on the throne of Skellige. Whether to let a tricked werewolf take revenge on who wronged him, etc
There are moral choices in this game that to this day people still are having debates on what the "right" thing to do is.
In that way the Witcher games are basically like a fantasy Star Trek, examining "what if" moral questions through a high fantasy setting. To me and I think lots of other people that is far more interesting than sandbox RPGs getting to make your character a purple orc with le silly face and le silly name or whatever the fuck elder scrolls shit is
>>717102121Time to replay it.
>released 10 years ago
Bros....
>>717096087nah there's still not a single open world adventure RPG better than Skyrim with Ordinator and Apocalypse
>>717073018 (OP)after it hardly but before it there are tons of better games.
>>717079880>40 awful daily threads being wiped from the catalogue.You know what? You're right. I can look at the catalog right now and it's full of the same shitty rpg generals that have been up for months. And it's all a handful of idiots meekly bumping them.
>>717073018 (OP)It played through it. It was a good run. 60 hours on record on Steam, for 60 USD.
But I never replayed it. Every time I try to, it feels like a chore.
It was a good story. But it failed as a video game for me.
It's just that : good.
Good, but not excellent. And surely not the best.
(The gwent minigame was a nice touch. But it wasn't good enough to make play the CCG they released later)
>>717108056>To me and I think lots of other people that is far more interesting than sandbox RPGs getting to make your character a purple orc with le silly face and le silly name or whatever the fuck elder scrolls shit isbg3 is literally that and sold like crazy
>>717073092Not even remotely true.
>>717111776ok name em
>le witcherCan only start in one place as the same guy every time
Its one of he best games of all time just by making tranime anons seethe
>>717113726I personally never absorb that much/forget stuff from a game I played the replaying after a year or two doesnt feel bad at all.
it prob changes a lot between people or depends on autism
>>717113943BG3 is the most reactive RPG out there, you can cope however you want.
>>717073092Played both recently and I can say yes, yes it is.
