Finally playing this game.
Doing it on Bloody/Broken bones.
Combat against more than 1 enemy is somewhat tiring, and using lock-on against more than 1 enemy is a death sentence.
It's visually appealing I suppose.
Leveling is slow. No new armors so far but plenty of weapons.
I'm going up against the Wild Hunt in that elf's liar, but I'm far too tired to do the boss fight. I saw that it was one of those that regens and I just decided to take a break.

I'm not really enjoying it as much as I thought I would.
>>
the combat is trash

the game really picks up once the dialogue and plot become more involved
>>
>>320666925
I don't recall W2's being that bad. What happened?
>>
You play Witcher games for the great story and characters, not the gameplay. You'd be better off putting it on the easiest difficulty to get through the mediocre combat as quick as possible to get to the actually good parts.

I think the combat is fine. It's far from unplayable but nothing great.

I just finished the game earlier today after about 45 hours. I think it's a high quality game and far better than Fallout 4. Not that F4 is a bad game but nowhere near as good as TW3.

Also, Yennefer is best girl by a long shot.
>>
>>320667012
Probably nothing, since contrarians on /v/ also decided the combat was trash in TW2 when it got popular.

But W2's combat was always pretty bad, with or without mods.
W3's could at least sometimes be fun, if you weren't abusing quen.

>>320667752
I've only spoken to her the once, when you meet in the Nilfnigga outpost or whatever it was.
She was pretty bitchy. Then again I never liked Triss too much either.

As for combat, it's perfectly do-able, I just don't want to spend 15 minutes meticulously chipping away at a horde of drowners.
I'm considering lowering the difficulty, I just don't have the time with bothering against packs of enemies who I can't get openings on.

But for the few times I've gotten sick of it and gone berserk on a single enemy until they died, it worked out pretty well. Even though I took severe damage.

What the fuck are you doing? Did you ever changed swords? At this point in the game, most enemies should die of 3 hits
>>
>>320668041

I think W2's combat is better than 3's.

Quen and dodge roll were super exploitable, but everything else felt much more solid.

W3 feels clunky in comparison

Then you fucked up. Highest diff, any good sword would allow you to kill everything in 3 hits, even without the light armor perk.

Viper is literally the first weapon you craft, or you get the schematics in the catacomb in white orchard.

>>320668414

well basic attacking felt much better.

You had a wind-up, but it was appropriate and gave your swings some weight.

In W3 every other move is some fancy flippy spin garbage that takes twice as long, and makes everything feel much more stilted and clunky.

It's quite simple, TW3 somehow made it worse. No one will openly admit it though.

I started a blue path but it just ends up with you cheesing the fire ability.

>In W3 every other move is some fancy flippy spin garbage that takes twice as long, and makes everything feel much more stilted and clunky.
Are you high? Half the attacks in 2 were flippy bullshit that could jeopardize you if you wanted a shorter animation. This was the MAIN complaint even.

In 3, everything is the same duration, so long as it is light or heavy.

What are you even saying?
>>
>>320668531
Yeah you're right. It is literally the first one I picked up. Haven't found something better yet.
I search side areas frequently, but they usually only have useless materials in them.

Please for the love of god inform me as to the location of new armor or weapons that don't look like shit.
Every single bit of armor I have found looks like fucking garbage.

Casual.

>>320668748

Not really. I did everything in White Orchard. Almost everything in Velen. Some stuff in Novigrad and nothing in Skellige aside from some contracts. I'm still playing the game to complete what I haven't completed.
>>
>>320668313
>I think W2's combat is better than 3's.
I don't see how, but that's opinions, I guess.
Controls, endless rolling, blocking, signs (until the end-game, where you can just melt the world by spamming Igni) and traps all felt really off for me. And don't forget that one spin attack that kills everything.

>>320668096
Yep.
>>
>>320667789
The combat in TW2 put me off of the game before I got very far, and I was playing it on release. Loads of people were complaining about the combat blowing chunks early on. I've only actually seen people defending the combat recently. So you, being the contrarian that you are when something becomes generally disliked, are wrong. I think I finished the swamp shit and was done. It's boring, forces you to play lame like DaS2 does, had annoying QTEs. I hated it. TW1's combat was pretty fun. TW1 was a fun, if clunky as shit, game.
I haven't played 3 yet. I keep kind of wanting to, until I remember TW2's combat and just how little of a fuck I managed to give about the setting or characters. Geralt is kinda cool I guess.
>>
>>320668801

Did you play the same W3 and W2 that I did?

Because I had the exact opposite experience.

W3 had a bunch of overly fancy attacks that fucked me over, where as W2 felt much tighter.

That might be because of how the dodge roll affected combat, but I played 3 immediately after finishing 2, and it just felt clunkier

Hey, some people like don't like having to fight enemies with a giant health bar.

No-one will openly admit it because that's fucking wrong. The witcher 2s combat was fucking ass. The witcher 1 had the best.

>>320668948
Do any sidequest. Like seriously, you get weapons out the wazoo just by doing that.

Or literally go to any POI, the itemization is garbage, in the way that you'll always get a weapon your level.

W1 had one of the worst combat systems in any game I've ever played.

I would have much rather had a more traditional RPG system instead of the rhythm bullshit.

>>320668801

If you wanted shorter animation why didn't you USE ATTACKS WITH SHORTER ANIMATION?

No, they were not "random", you dope.

>TW1's combat was pretty fun.
Opinion redirected to trash.
>>
>>320669381
They were, in fact, random

Light attacks would be 75% a fast jab, and the other 25% some long winded running animation or some flippy bullshit, with the upside of it hitting 3 times in a row.

Who the fuck are you kidding?
>>
>>320669292
Are you stupid? No seriously, I'm being serious you fucking dope. Are you tugging me along? Are you pulling my chain? Squeezing my cock?

Listen you big dumb dumby, I've just been playing 15 hours, doing every side quest I find when I find them. I have not found a weapon better than the ones I have.

I have found plenty of weapons. HUNDREDS in fact. I sell them because they're rusted worthless shit.
>>
I would like the weapon/armor/crafting stuff a lot more if it wasn't level-locked. If I defeat the giant elemental guarding the plans to the godly gauntlets, I want to wear the damn things when I make them, not twenty levels down the line.

Then you're either blind, retarded, or you singlehandedly broke the game somehow, because in my 3 playthroughs, it's literally impossible for me to not find a better silver sword by simply wandering around right after leaving White Orchard.

I honestly rate it at a 7/10, suffers from similar problems as Fallout 4(other than the whole gamebryo crap). Yes the graphics are great, but all the characters move so woodenly, npcs have a serious lake of dialog, least in Fallout 4 npcs would comment on your current gear/condition/accomplishments/make sales pitches.
Enemey veriety is really limited, practically everything is a palletswap of something else
>>
>>320669518
You're both over exaggerating

Witcher 2 and 3 have mediocre combat at best. 2 was too rigid, but was such a huge leap from the original's rhythm shenanigans that I let it pass. 3 has the opposite problem; it's too floaty and easy to flail all over the place like a drunken retard. Also, the animations are even more glitzy and spinny. I bet Zelda animations would work better for the game.
>>
I've played most everything in the first map and moved on to the second and I'd have to say the story is pretty boring from what I've seen. The characters talk in a low monotone and the setting feels generic so far. Not trying to start anything just how I've felt playing it.

They were not, you moron. The attack was decided by where the enemy was relative to where Geralt was facing, and the distance. It was pretty easy to do exactly the attack you wanted whenever you needed it.
>>
>>320671413
>even though theres still hours of content
There aren't, that's the thing. Allowing you to play after finishing the main story is usually an afterthought, since almost no games have unique post-ending content.
It's even more depressing in W3, where all of the main characters vanish after the main story.

It's just boring. The quests are all formulaic, witcher contracts are all exactly the same with the batman vision and total lack of preparation.

And you won't, because it's frankly not a very good game.

It has horrible movement controls, boring exploration, abysmal and insulting loot and crafting, and most quests are shit, consisting of only holding RMB to follow Witcher Senses.

It's got maybe a handful of stand-out quest lines and sometimes-pretty graphics.

That's the game in a nutshell.

Anyway, doing it on death march now. Whoever was bullshitting about how death march added no difficulty was clearly a troll.

It's anything but visually appealing to me.
It's got a horrible art style, I'm not sure if they were trying to be gritty with this one, or saturated and colourful. It's a mess.

I agree with the combat though. It's not bad, it's just very shallow and difficult to put up with. Mos of the times you duck up are from the auto lock on system, which they still haven't fixed since TW2.

If you're struggling I'd recommend picking up some alchemy talents.
Notably, +1 max toxicity per level 1/2/3 formula known -and- a % heal each time you drink (I think it caps at 25%?). This requires points in a third ability too, but which one is up to you. The chance to poison when using oils is fairly good.

Aside from some side characters, it's all a fucking bore to me. Why the fuck am I playing these games?
It can't be the combat, it's always been bad or painfully average. The STORY is what everyone fucking creams their pants over, but I really don't care about any of it. Yet Geralt as a character is just a chore to listen to, as well as the romances. I don't care...

Anyway, I'm playing on default difficulty. It was hard at first, but I'm somehow over leveled now and just rip through the gorillion wolves and bandits and sirens. Spent a shit load of time looking for enemies that aren't wolves, bandits, sirens/siren reskins.

...And they never do. The "war" is virtually nonexistent in the actual game world. It all happens off camera.

Just wait until you get to the very end of the game, assuming you do, some random guy you're for no apparent reason forced to talk to is going to mention something that nobody has talked about or that even seems like a plot point, and it's going to become the FF3 Cloud of Darkness

Twice.

Literally went to every quest board and did every little garbage sidequest. Hunted down the armor sets and swords. Had multiple saves to watch every side-ending and main-ending. In retrospect, I don't know why. Maybe I wanted to like it that bad.

Regardless, every single quest involves Witcher Senses. Beyond combat, horse riding, and Witcher Sense, there is no gameplay.

No platforming. No point to even buying or selling anything. NG+ Death March is retarded easy because the combat has no depth. USE WITCHER SENSES TO WATCH YOUR DAUGHTER-FU STOP THE MAYAN APOCALYPSE

GOTY.

Ciri dying was the best ending but CDPR didn't even care enough about it to flesh it out at all. Fucking hacks.

What do you mean by tiring exactly? I've found sometimes you need to lower the difficulty to play comfortably. I kind of like the idea that fighting more than one enemy often results in me occasionally getting my ass handed to me, but increase the odds of failure too much and I'm not having a great time. Especially since you're not given much incentive to "master" the OK combat system.
>>

There is a quest that essentially consists of platorming up a mountain while being pestered by harpies. It's not all that good though. Mostly because of the aforementioned harpies.

Combat would count if Witcher 3 had even near acceptable combat.

Bamham combat is more acceptable than whatever TW3 tried to do. It's like an alpha version of Bamham.

Oh right, I forgot TW3 has Gwent, which WB or CDPR promptly shut down the online version of, presumably to repackage it god knows when for $2 and in-app purchases.

Last I checked we don't praise FFVIII around here just for having Triple Triad.

Anyhoo, you're right. It's hard to describe gameplay in terms of elements other than combat in a game built around it. But I'll reiterate; Witcher 3 has not just awful combat, it hurts to even attempt it.

On an unrelated note: Why were speech checks even in TW3? There are like 4 times you are even allowed to use Axii. I mean I'll be the first to admit Witcher 3 shines brighter than any other game in Dialogue almost like it was based off a book, but what the hell?

I put my first few points into Axii for the same reason I run CHR in Falllout, but I never even got to use it, nor did it ever really benefit me in any fashion.

Oh boy I saved 100 gold even though I've got like 10,000.

I put points into axii as well but the only thing it really helped me with was avoiding fights with people.

>>320681723
Welp. Nevermind that, then.

Why are TW3 threads always filled with people trying their damnedest to convince everyone in them that it's actually terrible. that the combat is apparently the worst thing ever and TW1's trash tier combat is somehow better?
>>
>>320683726
Can't please everyone, anon.
>>
>>320683726
Can you name me one game where there isn't someone in the thread bashing on said game?
>>
>>320684530
Well of course not. It's just that it's hilariously prevalent for TW3 in particular, especially lately. I'm sure it's mostly because of all that GOTY shit and that a lot of people on /v/ like it.

I've even seen some anons shitting on Tetris of all games. What kind of person actively dislikes Tetris?
>>
>>320684839
Yeah the game awards definitely increased the fire on TW3.
>>
I enjoyed the combat in all the Witcher games for various different reasons.
>>
>>320666925

The combat isn't trash, it's actually pretty good - the problem is that there is no variety and the Witcher 3 is a huge fucking game. You can easily play over 100 hours on a first playthrough, and the majority of that time you will be using the same fighting style over and over.

There is also the matter of changing the potion/oil system. Previously, you would need to prepare for a fight beforehand, understand what monster your contract calls for and consuming potions and oiling your blade before the fight. Waiting outside a monster's lair at sunset, meditating and swallowing the 2-3 potions you think will be the most useful. Because you couldn't do so mid-battle. They changed that, now everything is freeform, and ultimately kind of silly.

Games of this scale should have a larger variety of builds to play with. With games like Dark Souls, you can do all sorts of builds.. the variety isn't extreme but it is more than enough to spice things up. Bethesda games too, where the combat is dull but there are lots of fighting styles and weapon classes to choose from.

It's just repetitive for how fucking huge the game is, really.. That's the problem. It has the scale of an open-world, custom-character RPG but with a static character.

there's a bunch of different outcomes for midgame quests. Like, it's possible to kill the crones before doing the crookback bog quests which dramatically changes things. So I hear, anyway.

Easily one of the best questlines in any game for quite a few years, and probably the best plot in the game. I haven't played the DLC yet, but Crookback Bog is incredible. The crones are spooky as fuck, and that entire story is just perfectly executed.

I wasn't impressed with anything else in the game as much as I was with Crookback Bog, which was disappointing - because if it kept up on the same level of atmosphere and spook throughout the game.. it would have been inconceivably good.

>>320686753
Skellige's Kingmaker quest line was pretty good. HoS was also Baron-tier.
>>
>>320686852

I really enjoyed the HoS storyline, had a lot of great moments, especially the wedding part.
>>
>>320686852

Kingmaker line was pretty good too, but didn't have nearly as much tension or weight for me. Crookback Bog/Ladies of the Wood has some of the best music in the game too, the hair on the back of my neck stands up when I hear it

>I'm not really enjoying it as much as I thought I would
I tried to tell you people, it's all flash and the rest in the trash. All they did was distract people with bright colors and barely attempted to hide the turd that the rest of the game is. It's about as stable as Fallout 3 if you played it on a Game Boy Color. Anything you heard about this game being good was either advertising or was also sold on appearances. The only slav magic in this game was that they gypped everyone into thinking they were any good.

Do I get a chance to fight the Crones after I finished the quest line?

Magic and bombs for AOE, and dont let them surround you. Frankly, you dont know shit about getting zerged until you get to the spiders.

Yeah you are getting your ass kicked by the hunt. Welcome to the witcher bro. Hope you are actually alternating your fast and strong attacks.

I have been enjoying the game greatly.
It's one of the few games I've played where I am actually interested in the side quests.
The combat is actually fun and if you know where to use your ability points then you can get through the game without too much trouble.
The Witcher 3 is also one of the best looking games.

I put all of my ability points into pressing x and I won.

And you've proven exactly nothing as to why this game is "all flash and the rest in the trash". Nice try shitposter, considering your only argument is "hurr you're a marketer and I've said absolutely nothing of value other than I don't like the game".

Maybe pick the game up and play it once your shift ends. Without the shiny colors, this game isn't any better than Duke Nukem Forever.

The combat in The Witcher 3 is way better than 2. Objectively. I don't understand how anyone can think this.

Kinda like Witcher 1...which they got shit on for changing in Witcher 2.
