Shit combat

Witcher should be a visual novel so you don't have to deal with the shitty gameplay between the cutscenes and choices

Like I said it's serviceable.
And not terrible or unplayable.
But everything else makes up for it.

Try dmc, ninja gaiden or sekiro if you want really good gameplay

Nope. It's nice to ride around and come across things on your own pace
Combat is okay and serves it's purpose

It's shitty and padded. It is hurt by being open world slop too

I played deus ex recently it reminded me a lot of vtmb but just better

Lol defending looking at horse ass for hours in an empty open world

haha bad words and sex like Game of Thrones

I don’t have an image of gigachad playing Witcher 3 to post so pretend I did.

Decided to replay them all after reading the books and W3 main story (outside of maybe Velen) is my least favourite of them all, they butchered most book characters and the ending was dogshit. 1 and 2 at least felt more like the first two books, isolated short stories. As soon as they continued from the books it went to shit because the writting doesnt' hold up. I just started Hearts of Stone and it seems miles better than the main story so far, again feels like a short story.

An rpg is supposed to have shitty boring gameplay!

I guess some people are just unable to enjoy anything that lets them go and enjoy things on their own pace.
There are games that'll be better as linear games but witcher 3 isn't one of them.

I don't know why people get to upset about video games. If you aren't enjoying your time, stop playing it.

that can be solved in many different ways thanks to it's interactive world

There is only two ways to solve anything in Deus Ex. By killing or sneaking. A binary choice is not a choice.

Okay dude no one is forcing you to play open world games. Stick to linear games.

Well it's not the focus so I can be more generous towards them.
And i really can't think of any rpg with good real time combat unless it's a combat focused rpg like dark souls

Hacking, laying traps, lockpicking
You got filtered

Video games have such low standards for good stories. If anything is mildly competent it gets praised and touted as a genius masterpiece. Witcher 3 is literally capeshit tier. I cringe so hard whenever I see retards clapping at bare minimum slop like GOW 2018 or RDR2 or Ghost of Tsushima.

What away to defend a shit game

It's an objectively good game.
Why don't you tell me your top 3 rpgs

It's object good even though the gameplay is shit

god of war, despite being complete slop as a game does have some decent writing. As good as it can be in a game like that anyway

Gameplay is okay but almost every other aspect is really really good.
Max payne 1 has some bad levels doesn't means it's terrible game

Divinity original sin is open world but doesn't have shit gameplay

Yeah that's pretty much it. Velen, Hearts of Stone, and Blood and Wine are the only good parts. Go figure, the best Witcher stories are the stories about witcher shit and not some grand plot about saving the world.

So the most important part is shit but it's ok because it's capeshit tier writing

it's serviceable writing and gameplay but done in a very expansive environment with multiple well designed characters
having played the game like a decade ago I can't remember shit except maybe the overall plot but for its time it was pretty huge and nothing came close to it in scale or production value (environment, music, voice acting) and that's what sticks with you

It's not real time so it's an entirely different thing.

Just kill yourself faggot

Yes? The story is all there is to worry about when you're writing fiction, you're mkaing a book. A video game is a much more complex, interactive form of media with a shit ton of variables to consider, it's a miracle to have game that has a decent story on top of everything else.

A binary choice is not a choice.

It literally is. And many games won't offer that much.

Really they just copied the formula of TLOU, which isn't hard to pull off. I don't hate it, it's just not very interesting. And then Ragnarok is just a mess.

That's not an excuse when the aim is to make a story driven game. And when good video game stories DO exist. It's just a cope.

No argument from the casual baby

All your arguments are utter dogshit

Another none argument. Casuals sure get mad when you criticize their shit games

Bg3, Fallout NV and Dues Ex HR all have better writing and gameplay so what's Witchers excuse for shit gameplay?
Now expedition 33 as well

I see you haven't named any good rpgs yourself. So who cares

Bg3 is turn based which is entirely a different thing.

New Vegas

Good gameplay

So much dishonesty

My biggest issue is geralt can only use swords, its the main reason why I've never been into this series. Swords are fucking boring to me, its a legitimate sin for any action or rpg to have a single weapon type

Star control 2
Under rail
Humans revolution
I could easily name 10 more

Far better than Witcher, yes

Here comes the cope.

They are very different from w3 so no real point.

Kys

Lol w3 baby got btfo and now is having a temper tantrum

I love how boomers try to distract from all of their dogshit games getting mogged use arguments like

b-b-but the heckin combaterino!

as they shill fucking New Vegas/Morrowind/Gothic etc, games with combat that makes Witcher 3 look like DMC3

b-b-but muh heckin predetermined protagonist! Can't be a hecking RPG!

meanwhile the most respected RPGs like Planescape Torment/Gothic and one of the godfathers of the entire genre Ultima (especially when Avatar becomes a literal Christ like figure) all have predetermined characters established within their game worlds

b-b-but muh bamham vision!

b-b-but muh objective markers

Pure cope from faggots who think good quest design is some farm nigger telling me to pluck some turnips in Gothic or some faggot telling me to find an Orcs axe (literal MMO tier fetch quests btw) is stellar quest design, why? Well because there's no heckin game markers my guy!

BoTWs quests where you collect 10 restless crickets? God tier, because no markers. Collect POW #4214 in MGSV? God tier, no markers. Get a contract to find a rogue Witcher only to find out he got betrayed by the townspeople forcing him to slaughter them all? Dogshit, because quest markers.

Kill yourselves. You will seethe, your RPGs are mogged every which way by the GOAT Witcher 3 that has a whopping 9.3 user score on Metacritic with over 20k reviews and has broken every record imaginable within the genre (most awarded RPG, best selling RPG, fucking name it).

Witcher 3 won. Anon Babble lost.

Imagine defending shitty fetch quest RPGs 20 years after vtm showed how to do proper quests

Yeah it was really underwhelming for me too. The quest design, the combat, the open world, the complete lack of interactivity or reactivity with the world and the people, the horrible level scaling. The writing is decent, but it's not carrying everything else being terrible to mediocre

I didnt read but I agree

You are a dishonest nigger

W3 has generic capeshit tier writing and an empty world. Planescape doesn't

No argument from W3 baby seethe

tldr
if you like witcher 3 you deserve to get flayed alive and get your corpse raped by niggers for eternity in hell

Quest markers do suck though

Compared to?

This. Quest markers means instead of exploring a world you are just auto piloting to a destination but zoomers are retards

Human revolution

No way fag you are just saying buzzwords

If it scares zoomers, it's automatically good.

LMFAO

It's a really good game.
What do you want me to say?

The CD project tranny seethes at the Dyes Chad

There still many locations you can stumble on.
Don't read the notice boards and turn off quest marker and there you have it

Except the gameplay, open world and capeshit tier writing

Pretty sure he's laughing doebeitever.

The fact you even posted this proves how retarded Witcher casuals are. You aren't supposed to stumble on quests, you are supposed to solve them without brain dead hand holding

Novigrad feels more active than basically any other vidya city.

First of all, New Vegas actually has builds and RPG mechanics, while Witcher 3 is just spam Axii for groups, spam Quen for single enemies. Witcher 3 also has one of the absolute worst scaling systems in any videogame, far worse than found in Oblivion.

But the main difference is New Vegas has really great quests, tons of player choice and freedom, world exploration and interaction, you can take multiple routes throughout the world, sequence break, you can go anywhere, steal anything, kill anyone, there is multiple story/quest paths and factions, and they all intertwine with each other in a way that no game has even come close to doing.

Meanwhile Witcher 3, the world is just glorified window dressing, all the quests are extremely linear and railroaded fetch quests where you follow toucan sam vision, and your player choice and freedom are almost nonexistent, limited to a few basic X or Y choices that are clearly laid out for you.

No I can tell your seething

Fallout trannies are talking about player choice and gameplay.

schizo

ESL

What's next?

The problem is volume and, as always, open world meme. You can't have complex quests with multiple outcomes that are well designed enough for the player to solve without a market/witcher vision AND at the same time produce 100 of these to dot out all around the open world.

filtered by jank and old graphics

yep casual confirmed. go play horizon zero dawn or something.

zoomers think spectacle = quality/depth
kek!

barely any choices

game might as well be on rails

only 1 weapon type

builds are 90% passive skills

MMO tier quests

MMO tier level scaling

empty pointless world

autopilot horse and toucan sam vision

how is it even an rpg..?

I played it for the first time recently and could barely get a few chapters in

Geralt just feels like a self insert "oh woe Is me" protagonist who everyone hates for no reason, but he's buff and handsome and all the ladies like him it felt cringe playing it and the gameplay wasn't fun

Witcher casuals mad

protagonist who everyone hates for no reason

Zoomer brainrot is real.

It is a complete story years in the making, decently written throughout with an extremely satisfying ending, that is pretty rare with stories in general much less video games.

Witcher 3 is a quintessential normalfag movie game

Get a contract to find a rogue Witcher only to find out he got betrayed by the townspeople forcing him to slaughter them all? Dogshit, because quest markers

Doesn't address what makes this quest functionally enjoyable to play in a game, just recites the events that happen in the story as if they're meant to be self-evidently good

"Dude it's so deep, it's like, the world isn't just black and white bro, it's grey!" Repeat ad infinitum. There's the Witcher 3 experience. So deep man.

Witcher casuals mad

But the game itself is shit

And now they gotta go and make Ciri a witcher for some fucking reason even though she can teleports behind u and is 10x more powerful than Geralt but needs to take mutagens to get cat eyes and shit for some reason because... erm its called witcher and they have cat eyes ok???

Looking forward to Blood of the Dawnwalker though, I feel they did a really good job of portraying vampires in Blood and Wine and that "Elder Vampire" dude was fucking kino, I'll definitely take more of that over Ciri helping minorities and standing up for women while chugging mutagens despite her elder blood.

I've only played the 3rd game
From what I get people don't like watchers because they think they bring monsters - but they obviously kill them
Sounds like a pretty retarded reason to have conflict if you ask me
Word would quickly go round of a witchers taking down a griffin or a ghost and helping people

good writing

maybe the dlc and some side missions bzt the main story is horrible

I just play all of them and have fun.
:3

LOL, literally mental illness level of delusion, FNV/F3 are barely playable in real time mode

but needs to take mutagens to get cat eyes and shit for some reason because

I'm curious how they're gonna handle this though. It's not a coincidence candidates go through the Trial of the Grasses when they do. Ciri is just off in so many ways from the typical Witcher development path.

Far better than Witcher, yes

autopilot horse and toucan sam vision

I needed a good laugh this morning.

good worldbuilding and characters, combat is decent, not great or good but decent.
It's a 7.5/10 game objectively, it is overrated AF.

Witcher 3

first 5 min: she wants to be witcher

Good ending: i am really happy to become a

witcher
are you blind or what

very dishonest

It's going to be obnoxious "chosen one" special snowflake mary sue drivel. Ciri shouldn't be a protagonist. Eskel would have been fine. Vesemir prequel would have been fine. New donutsteel character would have been fine. Custom characters would have been fine. They chose the worst option.

the best writing in video game history includes Metal Gear Solid 2, Silent Hill 2, and Nier Automata

Fpbp

Good writing

Whole gaming is chasing a macguffin

Skyrim.

compared to

the most normieslop sandshitbox imaginable

filtered by fucking TW3

It has an obnoxious fanbase and rabid cult. Glad RPGchads were quick to turn against this normie slop. The first two games were shat on since they were never good.

Reminder skyrim was so innovative it hasn't been topped since

...as being the biggest normislop in existence.

Are Gothicschizos the new Ninja Gaiden schizos? They go around thinking that their shit game is better than every RPG in existence and target CDPR and Bethesda threads all the time.

It was successful with retards because it was so good. It was successful before modern games needed 50% of their population to be chinese to make money

40% of Witcher 3 buyers are chinks. It's why the numbers bloat to 50 million.

using retards' taste in something as a metric for success
