>There are people that think Witcher 3 will have to compete against Fallout 4 for GOTY
It's on another fucking level, every single thing about TW3 absolutely obliterates F4.
Except normie appeal which is all that matters.
You're not wrong, but you underestimate the power of popularity.
Fallout 4 will win, but I agree that it should be Witcher 3.
>>318402837
Yeah it is, the only negatives to The Witcher 3 are the ones that 4chan has nitpicked to a near Sarkeesian level.
>>318403095
Yep, TW3 is close to a perfect 10/10 game. The only faults I could pick out were the poor enemy scaling and shitty inventory.
I really don't think you should underestimate just how much people were shocked by Witcher 3.
I think there is a high chance that it actually will get lots of GOTY awards from some of the better places.
>>318402837
Doesn't matter. TW3 has that "released early in the year" curse. That instantly negates its chances at winning GotY. Same for Arkham Knight, Mortal Kombat X, Bloodborne, and other hugely hyped games. Only things that released in the past two months will get nods from most publications.
>>318402837
I just wish the Witcher games had a fun combat system.
Not that Fallout 4 does, but still.
>>318403223
At least TW3 has more engaging combat than F4. Spamming quen and rolling about is more fun than aiming down my sights and spamming right trigger.
>>318403216
MKX was a 2015 release? coulda swore I got that last year. fuck.
>Witcher 3, currently less players than Skyrim and Fallout: NV on Steam
>Not even worth comparing Fallout 4's player count because it is miles ahead of Witcher 3.
>Shitters still trying to make Witcher 3 popular when literally no one is playing their game.
Witcher 3 GOTY, yeah.
You are right OP, but do we really need to compare them? One is set in medieval fantasy and one in post apocalyptic future, oranges to apples. I agree though, it's my favorite game of the year so far.
>>318403223
>>318403386
The Witcher 3s combat is about making your own fun out of things, playing on the harder difficulties is a pretty good way to getting the most out of it.
Part of it, that people always seem to just miss out on because they have been trained to not use anything ever by JRPGs is the potions, oils and combat prep.
It adds so much to the Witcher hunts, getting ready once you know where the target is lurking.
The moment to moment combat is passable because it actually has everything there to be enjoyable, quick, strong attacks, parries, ripostes, short dashes and rolls.
>>318403386
Barely though. At least in Fallout 4 the perk system makes things a bit interesting and the kill cam shots are kind of cool in the beginning.
Not trying to defend FO4 since I didnt really like it and TW3 is better, but yeah. I dont think it would have been that hard to make the combat more interesting.
How's 3 compared to the 1st one?
>>318403202
And the godawful out-of-combat movement controls.
Worst part of the game by far. Barely tolerable.
The horse controlled about as well as continental fucking drift.
>>318403216
Bloodborne did have a recent DLC release though that got everyone fired back up for it, which makes it a smart contender for GotY since it's fresh again.
However, most normies probably couldn't even make it past Gascoigne, so... yeah.
>>318403773
Suffers some pitfalls of modern games, has improvements in other areas.
A worthy successor, but not the same game.
>>318403602
>MKX was this year
fuck off, I didn't drop the game faster than mike ross drops combos
>>318403773
The first witcher is not THAT good and is actually pretty overrated. Many things can be said about modern games but voice acting has improved massively over the last ten or so years.
GOTY is a meaningless term when used by review sites.
>>318403801
>And the godawful out-of-combat movement controls.
They did try to fix this in a semi-recent patch. It made it a little bit better but its still annoying.
I think this is something all game devs should look at Grand Theft Auto 5 and take notes. The characters actually feel like they have weight and movement feels great.
1/10 combat catered to kids.
9/100 story
Witcher 3 is not GOTY my friend
I spent 10 hours with this game and I'm done.
I remember liking the first and second in the series, but that was 5 years ago, and I was 17 then and I guess swing n dodge combat wasn't mind numbing to me.
First off the game is terribly optimized for PC. Previously CDPR prided themselves on their cutting edge graphics and presentation, and while the graphics are gorgeous, its obvious that game was designed for the consoles this series should have never even touched, then ported over to PC, and by the time they got that far they quit giving a damn and gave up on even trying to optimize. There is no PC build on the market today that can run this game flawlessly in a sub 2k price range.
The one good thing that can be said about this games overall presentation is the audio. The audio is vibrant and meticulously detailed.
The combat is unbelievably counter-intuitive. The game literally punishes you for trying to stay in the action by parrying instead of dodging by chipping off pretty much an entire percentage from the weapons durability when you parry with it. Earning gold early on and keeping it is impossible, as the game demands more money to repair your weapon than you'll make, so the game forces you into this horridly boring swing-dodge-swing-dodge combat rotation that made me lose interest pretty much strait out of the White Orchard zone.
Controlling Geralt is about as responsive as a corpse. He can't just turn 180 degrees on his heel and run the other way, no, he has to do a U-turn no matter what, making narrow corridors or flights of stairs a nightmare. Roach (your horse) in terrified of puddles of water and small stones, and will completely halt whenever you try to navigate anything that isn't flat ground.
Some would argue that the story and plot make up for it, as it's where most of the effort was spent on this series, but it doesn't. There are so many writing discrepancies bridging the previous game and this one that its laughable.
>>318403646
This isn't about popularity, it's about quality.
Those things usually don't go together
>>318404074
Geralt is just another edgy 3dark5you Mary Sue character that knows everything there is to know under the sun, and all the women in the game world want to be stapled to his junk, because hes so suave and macho. This may as well be a trope-loaded shounen anime. I mean, we've already got the brooding protagonist with white hair and crazy eyes that no woman has the power to resist.
Also isn't Ceri a lesbian because she got raped by a woman, but then that made her realize shes gay? Top notch writing, Andre.
This game is possibly the most over-hyped, over-rated thing on the market today. I can't believe the gaming Hive-Mind still thinks this heap of failure is good.
>>318403998
Even GTAV is terribly imprecise.
Fallout 4 ironically I think does third-person movement with "weight" the best I've seen so far.
Not defending that heap of shit game, but they did get that part right.
>>318403801
>The horse controlled about as well as continental fucking drift.
This. Why did they give roach pisspoor autopilot? I can follow a path and if I charged off a cliff well thats my fuck up. Better than roach slamming the anchors on everytime there's a pebble in the way. Also, can't gallop in cities.
>>318402837
Yeah totally op even though both of those games have the same fucking plot to a degree.
Both of them deal with chasing down a daughter/son except that Ciri is pure fucking cringe with her power level being the last god elder blooded thing in existence who is also a witcher.

You people are dumb or what? Witcher 3 is the obvious GOTY winner this year just because the game had a great story and it was perfect. A perfect game doesn't necessarily mean the game is fun to play.
Why even bothering making threads when it is confirmed that Witcher 3 is official GOTY? It is already leading all the major game awards.
There is no way Bloodborne, Mgs5, Fallout 4 are winning GOTY because none of them are 'perfect', but that doesn't mean they can't be superior than Witcher 3 in someone's own opinion. I enjoyed Bloordborne and Fallout 4 more than Witcher 3, but Witcher 3 was a perfect game with a deep story and deserves GOTY. It will be GOTY no matter what you people think.
A popular game doesn't mean it will be GOTY, forget about Fallout 4 winning GOTY, it wasn't a perfect game.
>>318404074
i play maxed out and with full shitworks (even on my amd cards) at 1440p with 60 fps on a well under 2k build
and the rest of your points were just as retarded as that false statement about performance, thanks for playing though
>>318404536
Just trolls and bait bro
Witcher 3 is a high quality game, you can tell they took their time with it and crafted a masterpiece
Fallout 4 is just a rehash of Fallout 3 with the same graphics and a terrible story line that I nearly fell asleep to

>>318404536
Moreover CDPR gave their customers free DLCs and tons of updates, the game had no DRM. This is already makes them the best developer of the year. The soundtrack was amazing.
And I should have Witcher 3 "close to perfect" game, no game is completely "perfect".
Fallout4 has deeper vidya roots
hipsters will flock to it because they think it connects them to something from the ~90's
W3 doesn't stand a chance against that
>>318405774
I don't know about this sort of thing, but the Witcher games connect to a book series from the 80s. Surely that's better than the 90s, right?
>>318405774
modern final fantasy games win all the awards for this very reason right?
idiot
Fallout 4 was complete dogshit.
TW3 was not significantly better. It has just as many gameplay flaws that ruin any chance it had at being anything more than just a pretty photography simulator, and even that it needs mods to do well (which don't exist yet because lolnomodtools).
I wouldn't give either of them the term "GOTY" because I'd rather pick nothing rather than the one turd in the pile that is technically the shiniest.
False flagging the thread.
>>318402837
Normally, I hate sword and sorcery shit with every fiber of my being and I actually played the HELL out of The Witcher 3. Not even remotely interested in trying Fallout 4.
>>318405321
You'll notice that no one ever reads video game criticism about games they like. You write a post about why TW3 is a technical mess and not a quality game in any sense of the word, your only response is "lol ur wrong i had fun tl;dr 10/10 goty".
That's how it is, don't bother criticizing a game that people tell themselves they liked because Kotaku gave it a great review.
>>318406137
>Random autism post
Witcher 3 is goty and it is the best game ever made.
>>318403712
>The moment to moment combat is passable because it actually has everything there to be enjoyable, quick, strong attacks, parries, ripostes, short dashes and rolls.
So the key to enjoying the combat in TW3 is...pretending that it's good?
You just, go ahead and use the oils and potions and parries and stupid moves because you're having fun pretending they do anything?
Do you also pretend to have fun?
I gotta say that even though it receives a lot of hate, Fallout 4 is kinda good. But that's coming from a guy who would buy any Bethesda game without question.
The Witcher 3 is objectively superior in every regards, so it should win GOTY.
It's sad that nobody mentions Bloodborne though because even with everything Witcher did right, Bloodborne is still GOTY imo. Even in the DLC I'm amazed at the amount of little details and the overall attention that was put on every detail in this game. It's also the most fun to play.
LMAO there are people out there who think BloodBorne and Mgs5 deserves GOTY. The GOTY goes to Witcher 3, Fallout 4 has a very slight chance to win goty because of the popularity but it won't.
>>318406896
bloodborne will never win goty due to it being an exclusive, but it is without a doubt the best game this year
>>318406726
do you always play games on easy just to talk shit about basic combat? try playing the game on a decent difficulty and without outleveling everything by grinding every sidequest and hunt you run into
The game that's fresh in the memories of customers will win. W3 released too early.
>>318406426
Because you are literally posting blatant lying.
The game has plenty of issues, like virtually every game in existence. But the 2 major ones I see (runs like shit or combat is shit) are just plain fucking retarded.
Anyone who legitimately thinks W3's combat is shit has probably never played another video game in their life, or just hasn't played the game at all. It's not amazing, but so far from shit and completely adequate for the type of game that it is.
>>318407405
>The game that's fresh in the memories of customers will win.
Explain how?
GOTY is chosen be a group of judges not random people. Witcher 3 will win despite being released too early.
>>318407376
>do you always play games on easy just to talk shit about basic combat?
I played it on Death Marches. It's not remotely challenging. (this is the part where you imply it actually is really hard and I must be lying because you couldn't).
>and without outleveling everything by grinding every sidequest and hunt you run into
Nigga, you overlevel the zone you're in just by playing the fucking game. It doesn't matter how much shit you skip, just playing the main quest will make you a higher level than all the content in the zone.
You're literally saying "The way the game is good is if you try really hard to not be good at it, and you go really really slow so that you're always lower level than everything".
In a perfect world the Wild Hunt would be GOTY, but we don't live in that one. We live in the world where Bathesda is still in bussines and people actually post about playing FO4 on facebook.
>>318407443
>I don't see how anyone could have these issues
>This makes no sense according to my opinions
>Obviously people who don't agree with my opinions just have shit taste or have never played video games before or are lying

>>318407741
>In a perfect world the Wild Hunt would be GOTY
In a perfect world, TW3 would have been a good game.
>>318407741
Popularity has nothing to with winning GOTY you dumb fuck.
>>318403808
Interestingly enough more people on the ps4 beat bloodborne. Not talking sales wise but the percentage of players who have got the finished the game trophy. Witcher 3 is at 24% while bloodborne is at 32%.
I've got $60 to spend for steam sale. Thinking about getting Witcher 3, but also wondering if I should get Dark Souls II: Scholar of the first sin instead. Is Witcher the overall better game?
>>318407828
Your stupidity baffles me.
>>318408018
Just pirate it you dense fuck
>>318407676
You know man, bb combat is shit bc and way too easy. I played through it with hardly any effort, its dodge attack repeat like every souls game in existence. Its hardly even different than w3 combat. Of course, this is when you try to say im lying bc its actually hard :^)
>shit gameplay
>goty
Storyfags
everytime
>>318402837
Obnoxious Witcherfags aside, this game was really good. The Bloody Baron quest alone is GOTY material. MGS5 would have been good competition if it actually had an ending.
>>318408018
Yes Witcher 3 is superior than Dark Souls 2 in every way. I would buy Witcher 3 over any Souls game including Bloodborne anyday.
>>318408124
I really don't give a fuck about Bloodbourne. I don't own a console, so I really could not care less how well it does. Maybe it had easy combat, the fuck would I know or care? I have no reason to doubt you if you say it was easy.
>>318407604
FO4 is a big name game that was bought by what, ten, twelve million people. Which is more than what TW3 had.
The awards are published by journalists making their living partially off of sales to those people.
It is a good idea to keep your largest customer base happy.
TW3 might get the best soundtrack or best looking game awards of the year, possibly some minor stuff for goo characters or something, but there is no way FO4 won't get GOTY just on the grounds that the butthurt caused otherwise would hurt business or the hugbox nature of the game journalist's world (social media).

>>318402837
God you fucks are delusional.
Literally just go on normiebook, search for Witcher 3 and then search for Fallout 4. Which page has the most likes? That's GOTY
>>318408301

Just stop. Video gaming industry is not that corrupt. You are fucking delusional if you think Witcher 3 won't win GOTY.
The large majority of the vocal gaming community hates and bashes Fallout 4, and loves Witcher 3 anyway.
I expect Witcher 3 to win best soundtrack, best rpg, best developer and GOTY altogether. The best looking game might go to SW:Battlefront.
>>318408753
Surprisingly Witcher 3 is more liked in every website I come across.

I don't want CDPR to get cocky and popular, it never end up well.
Fallout > Witcher simply because I don't give a shit about story in video games, if I wanted a deep narrative I would read a book or watch a series. If you take away Witcher's plot you're left with...a mediocre game.
>>318408765
Because Portal 2 had even bigger mass appeal.

Random autism bait post
Go to any gaming website check which game is getting bashed and which game is getting praised. Literally everyone from reddit to IGN prefers Witcher 3 over Fallout 4. On Metacritic Fallout 4 bashing is on a whole different level.
>>318409491
I don't like exploring. Take away Fallout 4's exploring and you got a mediocre shooter with a boring story.
You pretentious fucks jerk off W3 too much.
The world, story, and quests were all top notch, but the combat and leveling were some of the worst in the entire series.
For combat
One of the crappiest, most inconsistent lock on systems I've ever had to deal with.
Clunky slow sword swings. Geralt is supposed to be able to swing faster than the eye can percieve, but in game he always has to do some fancy spin move than makes the attack take 5x as long. It got to the point where I just cheesed everything with whirl because regular slashes were just clunky to use.
as far as levelling or "RPG" elements go
Half of the skills on launch were completely bugged or didnt even work, and the ones that did work were fucking useless.If you're melee theres no point in doing anything but spin to win whirly dervish.
Honestly, I didnt even finish the game because of how boring and clunky the combat was, and how uninterested in the game I was.
I quit W3 after about 70 hours when I was halway through skellige, and really dont plan on playing it again untill all the DLC is out
I'm still playing my first game of F4 with over 200 hours in it, and will most likely be doing a melee run afterwards.
>>318409375
The Witcher 3's story wasn't a literary masterpiece, but it was better told on every single level and better than F4's flat out.
>>318403801
>too stupid to toggle walk/run because 'hurr gotta go fast'

The only question is, will the pope give the award to his best buddy or the universally acclaimed game?
>>318405774
By your logic, hipsters will flock to The Witcher because they think it connects them to something from the late 80s.

tl;dr but I guess you got a shit opinion anyway
>>318402964
There.
>>318409689
The difference is that the video game medium is uniquely suited to exploration and combat, while it does storytelling worse than literally anything else out there.
>>318410027
If Witcher 3 deserves to be even mentioned when talking about GOTY then MGSV deserves to be game of the decade
MGSV is better than TW3 and Fallout 4.

According to you?
>>318410261
The sad thing is, people actually think like that.
Games should first and foremost be fun to play, if the game is not fun to play, it fails at being a game.
Undertale > Slaver 3 > Cut Content V > Casualbone >Flopout 4

Read my second post. It is not a perfect game, but the closest thing to perfect.
Fallout 4 animations are a fucking abomination.
It's 2015 and we still have these stale fucking faces without even the slightest attempt to lip sync properly.

Witcher 3 is literally more repetative than MGSV, and V at least gives you the ability to use different methods leading up to the fulton
Virtually every single fucking quest in Witcher 3 is "Go to this marker, use Witcher sense and follow the convenient trail of red, kill monster/humans with the games shitty combat and have a boring conversation"
>>318402837
Honestly, I hated both of them. Neither deserve GOTY. I'm really hoping XCX delivers, despite the censorship.
>>318410782
No.
W2 has a decent combat system that is fun to use, although a bit cheeseable with rolls.
W3 is frustrating to play.
Playing W2 first will spoil W3's gameplay

>>318410373
It is a personal opinion, the degree of fun you have in a game varies.
You know there are people who play League and MOBAs and say it is a fun game? I don't, because majority of the time I am not having fun.
Same with Witcher 3, it a great looking game with engaging and deep story. But there are other games where I had more fun. It could be because of the monotonous combat of Witcher 3 or something else.
>>318410935
Literally couldn't be more wrong. The witcher 2 combat system is alot worse than the one in the witcher 3.
>>318410789
>Witcher 3 is literally more repetative than MGSV
I don't think it's possible to be more repetitive than MGSV, and the Witcher 3 certainly isn't. You literally replay missions as part of the main story.
>>318410935
>W2

AYY TW3's combat beats the shit out of the clunky shite in 2.

W2 is honestly much quicker, responsive, and fun to play
>>318411119

>>318409724
It's okay, I agree with you even if no one else does. I was hooked on Witcher 3 at the outset by its atmosphere and audio, and got as far as the Skellige funeral intro quest before I had to stop playing. The combat never evolved even when going with separate melee, hybrid, and sign builds. Once you found something that worked there was no point in experimenting because you could cheese the game with the same move (a problem that has persisted since the first Witcher, which most of you probably didn't even play). Even with all of the UI turned off and Death March I found the game too repetitive and simple. The people here citing Bloody Baron as this mind blowing story quest are probably underage and have no life experience of their own. There was nothing particularly compelling about that quest line even if it was well written.
tldr; I put in 80 hours or so and walked away from the game with no opinion. I can go the rest of my days never thinking about it again and am satisfied with the time I put into it knowing I'll never finish it. It was good, but even with all of its grand scope it still feels like a "been there done that" case.

I've played every Witcher game and without a doubt TW2's combat is the worst. Absolutely horrendous design decisions. You could drink potions during combat in TW1 anyway so I don't see why that's even a problem. Being thrust into combat in TW2 with no prior warning, with no quen (cutscenes cancel quen) and no potions (unless you reload to before a cutscene and prep that way, ayyyy fucking terrible) was beyond stupid.

HOLY mother of autism from that picture.
Witcher 3 is not a good video game
>Downgraded graphics
>Boring story with terrible and forgettable antagonists
>Every quests is just using Witcher Senses because the slavs couldn't be bothered to implement actual gameplay mechanics
>Combat is hot garbage, worst than Fallout 4's mediocre shooting gameplay
>The world is fucking terrible, every unmarked location is some variation of guarded treasures or smugglers cache that give you shit loot
>World is dead, can't interact with any NPC's except shopkeepers
>All the side activities like Horse Racing and fight clubs aren't fun thanks to the awful AI and mechanics
Gwent is literally the only thing Witcher 3 did right

you forgot to mention repeating missions that you've already done to progress the story, i.e. ACTUAL repetition that TW3 doesn't have.
>>318402837
But Witcher has bad combat (those fucking autistic swing animations, sweet Buddha) and cringe writing (WHITE wolf, FINEST killers, sword of DESTINY, interdimensional travel weee)
Real GOTY is basically Bloodborne

You don't need to do the mission repeats to progress the story

You are the one who is wrong.
I played W2 twice, and on dark mode, and then went straight to playing W3, and the sword combat felt like a complete downgrade.
I dont see how anyone who actually plays videogames can say that w3 has the better combat system
the combat is literally inexcusably bad
this is why i come to /v/, to share the joy of video games with others, discuss games we are exited about and have fun together, i love you guys, this is a wonderful place
>>318412195
You don't have to do the repeated missions like the subsistence or whatever the other modifiers were to progress the story. I didn't do a single one and still got both ending missions.

So many of the things you listed are either not fun at all or just variations of the same thing.

The same applies to all of those aspects of Witcher 3 except for Gwent
>>318402837
Witcher 3 is only game that really deserve a GOTY title it's not really that perfect game but it had quality
>>318412246

There would literally not have been a Witcher 3 game without consoles, retard.

Bloodborne doesn't take its story too seriously neither does it try to make it the focus of the game
Witcher's writing feels like it was done by some outcast teenagers who just learned the concept of "duality" in a high school English class and wanted to abuse it as much as possible, yet can't stop themselves from cramming the game full of angry teenage gamer tropes

I liked the combat inwitcher1the most, fight me you fucking cunts

Thanks for rescinding your opinion.

>>318412570
It wouldn't have been the same is what they said. And it would have been better :^)
>>318412524
Well then I guess the difference lies in the narrative. One is complete, one isn't.
However, mgsv is fun to fuck around in for a couple of hours.

thats because bb has NO writing
SO /V/, what do you consider GOTY this year? Nevermind who wins the popularity vote with normies and game journalists, but who do you think deserves to win?
Witcher 3 is actually more fun to play that the other games this year.
Despite the setting is a gritty medieval world, it actually has lots of humors and wacky shit all the time.
The other games all took themselves too seriously.
It's depressing to play MGSV because how empty and un-MGS like it is.
>>318412776
>pc exclusive is suicide for any game company
Only if they're a retarded AAA cancer like CDPR trying to make games like other AAA devs with so much money spent on marketing rather than concentrating on the actual game and not trying to shave off some of the CoD audience for itself.
CDPR has a history of retarded funds management anyway since they almost went bankrupt after both Witcher games before 3. The only way they could make a profit was to sell out while other companies manage fine.
>>318412930
No, I'm going to get on my knees and thank the lord Jesus Christ that I wasn't born with a brain defective enough to enough The Wicher's combat
TW3 should be recognized as GOTY for its efforts in creating an actual realistic adult narrative with its characters that isn't simply PRESS X TO SEX (i.e. Mass Effect 1, which was praised for its mature storytelling back in '07) or Le Nanomachines xD. It manages to convey a solid narrative and the side quests are even better. Gameplay is above average which just reinforces the fact that TW3 is a much better product all around compared to its competition. Solid 10/10 imho.
>>318412548
This.

>>318412874
>nobody liked
Plenty of people liked it. It's not without flaw but when you see it as more action oriented style of NWN2 combat or Bioware games at the time then it's palatable. I had zero problems with it and even enjoyed it towards the end of the game. It was at least trying to do something unique at least, rather than being a shitty Souls knockoff (TW2's combat)
>>318412579
I don't see how anyone over the age 18 can believe Witcher has good writing.
It basically panders to the lowest gamer demographic with its constant PRRRROPHECY and TRAGEEEDY snippets, with some decent tits tacked on
Over 7 days play time in both and I think fallout 4 is way better then the Witcher 3. But I love both games.
>>318413069

Witcher 3 obviously. People who think Mgs5 and Bloodborne can be GOTY are just dreaming. Fallout 4 has the highest popularity of them all, it doesn't make you win GOTY tho.

Witcher 3 is GOTY? Videogame standards have fallen really low for that trash to be GOTY. Games used to be judged on engaging gameplay and challenges. Now it seems plebs eat up that open world and story telling shit. It's interactive entertainment not a goddamn painting or book. The real GOTY has to be Bloodborne.

Gosh, what amazing combat
Truly the Dark Souls of our time
>>318402837
I'm not sure.
To be honest the plot and open world in Witcher 3 was disappointing. Like, extremely disappointing.
I enjoyed doing the sidequests more than anything.
Pretty much how it goes in TES and Fallout games.
So I guess Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 are pretty even, except that you have waaaaay more optional stuff to do in Fallout 4, you can create your own character, and it has a extremely active mod community. Thats is all a big plus for me.

I'm convinced TW3 supporters are just Europoors with an agenda.

I'm not even trying to shill any other game into being GOTY. I'm genuinely curious what's so fun in this game that everyone except me enjoys it.
What's your favorite part of Witcher 3 guys?

People acting as if there is an end all be all GOTY award. As if God hands it out. Not as though there are like 40 GOTY awards different shitty websites/magazines/and faggots each give.

>>318413906
>Boss fights shouldnt be difficult
Letho is a fucking witcher, and one strongest one of his school at that.
I remember when boss fights werent somehting you expected to one shot. Having to learn how to beat letho is very satisfying, but maybe a bit too much thinking for modern gamers?
People like in the video would rather brute force bash their way through crap untill their methodology lucks out and works, instead of trying to learn and adapt.
Compare Letho with any boss in W3
I played on death march and died maybe once per boss, if not one shotting them
>>318414007
RPGs hinge on a decent narrative in order for the player to progress. Do you think people enjoyed playing FF 4-10 because the combat system or gameplay were good?
