This, 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.

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.

The 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.

Also 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.

The 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

The 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.

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.

Hmm? I like plenty of RPGs, just not the garbage you play. I'd be willing to go along with all RPGs being banned from /v/, however, as they only hold the gates wide opened for garbage. I'd be perfectly fine with never discussing RPGs here again if that meant 40 awful daily threads being wiped from the catalogue.

Correct. 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. It's simply not worth discussing RPGs at all. This is the only genre like this.

It'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. It's always the same story with you people. All RPGs regularly discussed in 4chan are garbage.

I 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 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.

Stalker has excellent gunplay with situational weapons/ammo that work at different ranges and on different types of opponents. Which is what Witcher wanted to do but never did.
>the side quests are all shallow
That 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.

I have 200 hours in SoC. GAMMA is a CoP mod which combines all the side content in all 3 games and turns collecting it all into a game. Unsurprisingly, it is the most popular STALKER mod.

Really? assume im stupid and explain to me what do you mean by excellent gunplay.
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.

Your criticism is valid, but the writing IS GOOD, especially for a videogame, you cherrypicked a parody quest but if you compare the writing in the game to most games it does hold up well.

I wish people like you channeled their critical thinking energy towards other games that get infinitely more praise while they get zero amount of hate that the witcher 3 gets, games like Yakuza 0 which everybody circlejerks over.

>Isn't it janky and too basic
No, stalker is a survival horror game. Similarly to the RE games, you have to stop and aim. which creates tension. The new first person RE games even work similarly.
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 forgettable
That'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".

This is off topic but why do you have so many images and webms of little anime girls bro? Obviously you're got the tism and that sucks but do you have a normal life? Like a job, a gf, have you ever had sex? Do you have friends outside of discord, like real life friends? What compels you to watch little anime girls? Are you a pedophile?

No one makes Yakuza threads constantly, so there's no reason to bother them. These threads have been made so much that someone is having a mental breakdown about me like this is some old dying /vg/ general. Also Yakuza has this:
https://youtu.be/_dOPdLmucJg
Whereas witcher is like... this
https://youtu.be/b0qo8QVnGAQ
Obviously I'm not cherry picking here because someone saw fit to label this video as BADASS even though its like a retarded Bioware cutscene.

At least Yakuza is a funny SEGA meme game.

Sure, 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.

No it doesn't. One retard makes bait threads on RPGs every single day because he wants the catalogue to be full of these games. None of these threads are genuine. Not a single person is making threads about a game they hate. And then you, being a witcher fan, have an IQ of 30 or less, so you reply to every single thread the same exact way endlessly. This isn't a discussion, its totally one sided. None of your input has been valuable.

The 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.

If you have a proof i will admit defeat and shut up.

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.

The 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.

Might even be worse than translated anime. I studied with a poolack and he explained this in detail to me. You can't possibly translate so many details. Polish is among the most nuanced languages iirc.

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.

I meant slurs in particular, see pic related. 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. Thanks to that you can write crude and crass characters in a multitute of ways without it seeming repetetive and making some sentences admittedly funny. It's as >>717088745 said but I don't know how well that compares to translated anime as I don't speak nippon so I always watch with eng subs.

Like, what do you want, dude? every NPC to hand you some Macguffin for saving their crops? Or for each one you save to give you a blowjob three times throughout the story?

Can’t you just help somebody because it’s the nice thing to do, or because it’s interesting to figure out?
Can’t you roleplay as someone kind, or just curious? You guys have no sense of immersion.

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.

You completely missed the point.
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.

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.

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.

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.

I never have. RDR2 is boring dredge with a beautiful world. It's good for exploring the landscape but there's not much in terms of "gameplay".

Pretty 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

No one plays MD for the story. It's the level design and gameplay that make it enjoyable.

Congratulations, you just found out why people enjoy the game!
>its significantly worse than Cyberpunk 2077
In what ways? MD has an actual inventory, far superior level design, no slop open world, more memorable side quests, better weapon modifications, superior gadgets, etc.
>and its a disgrace compared to the OG game that came 25 years ago.
You can argue about that but the OG Deus Ex also had its fair share of rough edges.
>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 bro
Once 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).

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.

Having 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

Souls 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.

Geralt 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

Relateable 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.

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.

The 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

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.

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)

I 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

BG3 is the most reactive RPG out there, you can cope however you want.
