Should I get the Witcher 3?
Is itfun?
Why or why not?
>>321780635
Maybe
Sometimes
Its worth the money, and the story and characters are great. The gameplay is just passable and I would rather them cut the RPG aspect out of the game to make fighting enemies more interesting than "oh it too high level so it takes a billion hits to kill"
>>321780635
If you've read the books or played previous two games, get it. Otherwise you may not have idea what the fuck is going on and who are all these people, and this can reducefunvalue a lot, because like >>321780814 that Anon said, story and characters are great and are the absolutely best thing this game has to offer. Not that other aspects are bad, but without this basic knowledge you'll be missing SO much.
I started with Witcher 3 and now I want to go back and play 1 and 2 and read the books
I'm still playing it when I can and am thoroughly enjoying it
>>321780635
It's better than TW2, but not as great as 1.
>>321781364
it really saddens me that people simply skip the original games and play what ever is the latest, often over-hyped game in any series.
Yes but play the first 2 before hand or you're a faggot
>>321782871
Myfriendand mygfboth refuse to play TW1 after reading the books because it's old. Can't blame them, visual aspects haven't aged well, but surely they are missing on best music and atmosphere in the series.
>>321782871
I had witcher 1&2 for a long time, I just never got around to playing it, but I started reading up on them after the hype for 3 and now I am a fan of the series
Not everyone is a dirty hipster like you, very few played the originals before 3 came out, they were sleeper hits
Massive amounts of reskinned enemies and shit combat will turn you off from the game.
>>321783284
your "friends" just bunch of extreme graphics fags.
Seriously, how the fuck can anyone bitch about GRAPHICS, in a game made after 2004??
>>321783306
>Witcher 1 & 2
>hipster games
>sleeper hits
more like YOU live in your own ass crack.
>>321783306
You do know that both Witcher 1 and 2 were GOTY winners of their own respective years? Hell, second one's still used for graphical benchmarking, which to be honest, is its only good thing.
>>321780635
It was my personal goty, between the main game and Hearts of Stone I put in 86 hours. I really enjoyed the story, playing it after Fallout 4 made me realize just how shitty the fucking writing and storyline is in FO4. I always hear a lot of gripes over the combat, I personally didn't mind it, though I do agree it does feel a bit shallow after awhile with not a huge amount of variation. The Hearts of Stone DLC was also top notch, having a storyline that was better than the main story.
>>321780635
It's fun. It's super long, filled with content, the world's great, performs great, looks pretty as fuck especially with mods. Story's pretty good as well. It's especially gripping if you're familiar with the characters.
Combat's really sub par though. It might turn you off.
If you really wanna go through it, at the very least, play the second game. You can blaze through it pretty fast, and it's really beneficial considering the story from 3 directly connects from that and the books. The fact that it's also a great game helps as well.
>>321783306
Just because people played a game you missed out on doesn't make them a hipster mate.
1 was a cult hit, but 2 was pretty popular in its own rights.
>>321783863
They are good games no doubt, but that doesn't mean a lot of people played them, not like Witcher 3 anyways
And Witcher 2 was only used for benchmarking because of the built in ubersampling
>>321783306
Also to say 1 is the best is pure hipster bullshit kek. 1 is shit and has to be modded to even be tolerable. People complain about witcher 3 combat then say 1 is good.
>>321784129
>They are good games no doubt, but that doesn't mean a lot of people played them, not like Witcher 3 anyways
...seriously? Did you sleep past the huge hype and praising of Witcher 2 before and after its release? Most of it is total bullshit obviously, but it is the main reason why people are now raving about #3.
>And Witcher 2 was only used for benchmarking because of the built in ubersampling
That everyone disabled, because it rapes performance.
Seriously, TW2 had damn fine visuals in all ways. It looks even better than 3. You don't need ubersampling for that.
>>321780635
>>321780635
Yes
Yes
It's fun because the world and the characters are interesting and it looks fucking great and the combat is ok
>>321780635
personally i got 60+ hours of 1 playthrough (lots of sidequests and lvl 34)
well worth the spent bucks imo
>>321784398
1 is a total hipster game, 2 got more people interested in it for sure, 3 went mainstream which is why /v/ hates it
>>321784353
>Also to say 1 is the best is pure hipster bullshit kek. 1 is shit and has to be modded to even be tolerable.
Nah, you're just a console faggot with shit taste. I could write a short novel explaining why the sequels are pure shit compared to the original.
oh wait, I actually DID write that already!
tl;dr version: TW1 is an excellent, atmospheric and comfy CRPG, the sequels brain-numbing console action-ropes with maymays and QTEs thrown everywhere.
>multiple witcher 3 threads up
looks like the pollacks are shilling again
Yennefer is a cock whore. Don't shack up with her senpai. Read 'A Shard of Ice' and forever hate her.
>>321784586
>1 is a total hipster game
if you're a consoletard, sure.
It's just sad and hilarious how console-fags start to treat the original (and often way superior) games of any originally PC exclusive series' games once the sequels become multiplat and casualized. Happened with CoD, FO, BF... afraid to see what's next.
My personal opinion is that this game is shit. I had no fun playing it. If you enjoy doing the same kind of quests over and over again then it could be fun for you.
Also I did not enjoy the atmosphere at all.
It a great game with epic badass moments also Ciri is hot as fuck. Don't forget to buy the expansion pass for more epicness.
>>321784606
ikr?
Why would people discuss video games on a video game board?
>>321780635
>>321784586

go back to your nogaems toy, Tom.
>>321784440
>all this useless shit cluttering the HUD
Seriously. the only things needed are the health/magic bar and maybe the items display in the bottom left and that's it.
>>321784591
No one is denying the games are good m8
I'm just saying not many people played the early ones (like 1) when they launched
It's my GOTY.
Best OST (on par with BB)
Best villains (The Crones)
Best Open World yet
Best atmosphere
Best gore
Best protagonist
Best waifus
Best enemy designs
Fucking Ciri ;_;

>Best villains (The Crones)
oh hey, I remember your thread last night
>>321780635
i bought it a month ago. i have played nearly 60 hours of it so far. it is pretty amazing, but made better with some useful and cool mods. (for most mods, make a folder called Mods in the install directory for Witcher 3 and copy/paste the mod download in the new folder).
pro tip srsly:
use this mod for the best control scheme in the game, the combat can be smooth as fuck if you didnt have to pause the game each time you want to cast a spell (especially on controller).
http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/81/?
it a new document for controls where you cast your spells via 1-5 and that also cast them as well. you normally have to SELECT the spell, then cast another button for CAST.
tl;dr use the above mod for best control scheme in game, especially useful for going magic builds.
bonus tip:
download the console command mod which enables you to console edit stuff in game. if you wanna reset talents, just press ' and then type or paste: additem('Clearing Potion') so you can experiment with the talents a bit cos that potion is bullshit expensive in first 40 hrs.
bonus tip:
remember, your talents are useless unless you activate them on the right side of the screen in the talent tree area. you start off only having 3 slots for talents which opens up a bit over time.
>>321780635
Step 1. Watch gameplay videos on YouTube (with no autistic commentary).
Step 2. Decide whether you want to play the game or not.
Step 3. Follow through with Step 2.
Step 4. ???
Step 5. Profit
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
so fucking hard, isn't it? Stop asking on /v/, every game is both good and bad at the same time here. Fuck off and make your own judgment.
>>321785250
oh hai! Just woke up
>>321780635
It's a lot of fun. But if you are a pleb and a completionist, it will destroy you. I remember completing everything in White Orchard, thinking every zone will be that size. Then I get to Velen and was overwhelmed with all the things I needed to finish. Then when I went to Skellige, my OCD kick in and I stopped playing. First game I was overwhelmed with things to do besides EVE. Not to mention the sheer bleakness of the game isn't a great motivator to keep you playing, you realize that every quest will end depressingly, so you don't necessarily want to see them through.
Then again, this is coming from a pleb and an alcohol. An alcohol who tries to be happy through vidya. Take it with a grain of salt.
>>321780635
It's pretty fucking epic. It like Game of Thrones but even more badass
>>321785443
I'm alcohol too and I loved that game, it makes me not drink.
Because when I do I suck at it a lot and it makes me drowsy.
>>321785443
I'd also like to add that even though I was only 40 hours in, still my personal GOTY. Thought maybe FO4 would win, but that game was borderline Spore levels of disappointing.
>>321785457
Shockwaves.
>>321785264
for the control scheme, you can change other non 1-5 to anything else you have such as extra buttons on your mouse. such as the combat jump/roll for example and also the throw bomb button as well.
>>321785443
Just skip all the question marks in the water in Skellige, that'll save you a lot of trouble.
>>321785102
I'd consider calling the best game in series a "hipster game" pretty much the same as shitting on it.
Also 2mil sales in a single year is "not much"? Sure it ain't on the level of modern "gotta sell 10M minimum on the first week or we're doomed!" -level, but that ain't "little".
>>321780635
I got it for the PS4 but I'm too scared to start it and not like it. Plus, I don't know how long the intro is.
Convince me to play what I bought please.
>>321785935
>paid money for something
>doesn't use it
Just kill yourself
>>321785935
Just play it dude. If you love Skyrim and Bioware games you are in for a real treat.
>>321785457
>>321786159
Shitposting of the highest caliber.
>>321785935
its actually good fun. i was overwhelmed by it too but it was not as bad as i imagined. you can save at any point beside in the middle of conversations and in combat.
since using controller. go sword build and get amazing with your parries and dodging. and then maybe a few magic or potions talents when you have found your favourite couple of magic spells.
>>321785457
I can taste the salt.
Not bas
The alchemy and bomb making system is one of the most retarded I have ever see.
>>321786303
Going alchemy/combat build towards the end of the game is pretty fun, geralt becomes a damn tank.
I decided to get Fallout 4 over Witcher 3
Stay with me here and I will explain. If you are a person who has limited time for lengthy quests and more decision making then Witcher 3 is obviously the correct choice. However, if you are getting a bit older and have less time available it makes sense to play a game where you can play it in short bursts without needing to remember or read huge amounts of text to catch back up, same with proper combat techniques. It's point and shoot in Fallout 4, much more invovled in Witcher 3.
>>321786526
why do you need to justify your shit taste to us, faggot
>>321785935
I'll convince you right now. You spent money on it. You paid dollars, shekels, rubles, or CAD or something. At least give it a shot.
>I don't know how long the intro is
Depends on what you define as an intro. The opening dream sequence could count as one, which (if I remember) is about 30 minutes. But you could also count all of White Orchard as the intro, which could be 2-4 hours depending on how much side shit you get done.
Regardless, you fucking invested money into it, at least try it. It is more retarded to buy a shit game and not play it than it is to buy a shit game and get an hour or two of entertainment.
>>321786406
Salt?
>>321786609
Because OP asked for advice?
The combat is shit but everything else is good.
>>321786639
I also bought the DLC for it. I might wait for the next DLC to come out.
>>321786710
>implying op said anything about fallout
>>321780635
1 & 2 were OK but not something I would replay. 3 delivered on every level, easily the best game of 2015.
>>321786526
>more decision making in FO4
Pardon my reading comprehension, but are you implying there are more decisions in FO4? Because decision making is nearly nonexistent in FO4.
>>321786678
I imagine it took you like 10 minutes to get that enemy down to that much health and then to have him shockwave you to death.salt

I hated The Witcher 2. Will I like Witcher 3 or is it similar to The Witcher 2?
>>321787476
It's a reskin of Witcher 2
>>321786526
i would still suggest Witcher 3 as it is the better game and isnt as bad as you think it is in terms of length and time investment and here is why.
there are LOADS of short quests in Witcher 3. you can completely ignore the admittedly very long main quests.
the quests are divided into categories such as Main Quests, Side Objectives, Treasure Hunts, etc.
it is honestly one of favourite worlds in videos games.
it feels amazing going across the fucking massive landscapes on your horse and boat.
you can just explore for 20min and have a fucking blast.
explore wilderness on horse, finda random bandit camp and you repeatedly gallop past hacking away at them cutting them all in two and then get some sweet loot in a chest there.
the game opens up after about 1.5 hrs and then you are free to explore anywhere and then never have to do a long drawn out quest if you just want short, more focused content.
great short quests, involves investigating missing person, and then ends with having to kill a werewold and then involves a cool choice of two endings. that would take about 30min to complete.
in that instance though, it took me quite long cos that werewolf kicked my ass everytime and had to level up a bit more as it was a few levels above me at the time.
>>321787048
>/wtc/
>>321787476
It's still the same setting/writing but the game is totally redone. They gave up the chapter-to-chapter, location-to-location format of Witcher 1 and 2, opting for an open world game. Combat/Leveling systems are new but still lacking.
>>321787476
it is more an open world game than a witcher game. if you like doing the whole open world thing then you'll love witcher 3 as its world and exploring it is fucking awesome.
the capital city has like 6 signposts to teleport to. 6! signposts are for like town and villages but the main city is huge.
no joke, it takes hours to get used to it. i got lost for literally 20min once and felt panicked and clostriphobic.
main story is pants on head retarded but all the sidequests and the card game make up for it
The real question at hand: Alt or Space /v/? What say you?
>>321780635
Get expansion, it is even better than main game
Why is there a herb gathering point every 3 steps? Its annoying.
>>321788397
I use space more just out of habit, but alt is more precise imo
>>321788442
There are a lot of different herbs and plants out there, and plants often grow in the same are. Not necessarily in "clusters" but chances are, if you find one plant, another of that type will be growing close by. If you ever left your basement you would understand this.
The game slowly becomes about travelling the world to collect rare gwent cards. People in the world take the card game so seriously they kill over it -- not like a choice where you decide to kill someone for a card; npcs are killing other npcs over cards and it's normal.
People will bleed their heart out to you about the tragedy of their daughter's death and you will respond by asking them if they want to play gwent, to which they will nod knowingly.
>>321785187
>Best villains (The Crones)
Cmon anon, not gaunter o'dim?
>>321787973
that place was okay during release when people were talking about builds, explorin', different quest outcomes and actually hyping up about cyberpunk.
But nowadays it's just pure waifu-wars.
>>321780635
If you've played previous Witcher games and enjoyed them or felt they were good but needed some improvements then TW3 should be a fine pick. The combat and balancing aren't excellent or even really great, the pacing and story hit a roadblock at one point and enemy variety is weak, but worldbuilding, writing, voice acting, music, character development, and sidequests carry it pretty far. I'd go as far to say TW3 is the best open world RPG released to date, except maybe next to Morrowind.
>>321785187
Why Geralt can't put aside his step father emotions and fuck Ciri raw like all the other women I will never know or understand.
>>321788668
So basically they added an annoying gameplay element where you have to stop every 7 seconds because its realistic.
If you ever had an intelligent though youd understand thats bad game design. Quality over quantity.

You aren't supposed to pick up every single god damn herb in the game. Just note the areas where those herbs are and next time you need a potion or oil that requires it, think "Hey, I saw all these growing there!" and head back and gather. If you are literally stopping every time you see a plant to pick it up, you are autistic.

I recently encountered a bug where Geralt, and every NPC that wasnt locked to an animation, would walk in the air on their knees. It was pretty funny.
>>321780635
It's by far and away the best game released in 2015. It's the best game released in at least 8+ years.
You decide.
>>321789443
You didn't rebuttal. Just implied I shouldn't be a game designer, with which I agree. However, I still don't understand your complaint about herbs.
There will be 5-7 herb spots in an area. However, they will be (for example) White Myrtle. All of them. Then in another part of the environment you would find a field of Hellbore Petals. Then you remember where each plant type grows, and harvest it as needed. Of all the things you could complain about with this game, I really don't understand the complaint here.
You imply that you need to stop at every herb spot and gather them, which is not necessary, or even beneficial at all. It is just a marker for where they are. Once again, I don't understand what you are complaining about.
It's shit, only one good waifu (Ciri) and you can't even fuck her. Why would Gerald fuck some grannys when theres fresh teen pussy available?
>Wahhh the game is shiiiiit
>NO IT'S LITERALLY PERFECT IN EVERY REGARD ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT IS SHITPOSTING
You fucking people.
>>321790375
>There will be 5-7 herb spots in an area.
No, there would be 5-7 herbs in an area, and then another 5-7 herbs in an area 3 steps away, all over the map. Eventually I just said fuck it and started running past all of them. When you dont even care anymore about a gameplay element because its become more trouble than its worth, youve failed. The game should make me want to get to herb gathering points, not just zip passed them.
Who the FUCK should I pick. Triss or Yennefer.
>>321790741
Triss
I'm getting a ps4 soon and don't want to over splurge on games for now
Which is the best choice?
BB vs witcher 3 vs DA Inquisition
I'm already getting battlefront as the obligatory fps I play with friends
>>321790442

>>321790971

>>321790741
Triss makes the most sense if you've only played the games. If you read the books, Yen is the better option.
>>321790948
Not really.
You probably hated the two because you hated the characters, like me. You wont find much here either since the gameplay is average as always.
I seriously don't get what people like about the main characters. I was way more interested in the side quests. Baron was good though. Fuck the rest of the Mary Sue characters though, CDRed is literally incapable of letting anything interesting happen to them, because they don't want to anger that certain characters fanbase.
Boohoo.
>>321784784
>made by a team of unknowns
Is whoever made this pic literally autistic?
>>321791308
I kinda agree with that. The main characters are kinda boring.
But as in every game with a few very interesting characters, you get a sea of dull ones.
As in this game.
>>321791087
Blame online reviewers giving it more hype than it deserved
Is it weird that I have a sort of OCD when it comes to game series that have the same characters, in that I HAVE to play them in order?
It's why I've never played any of the Witcher games other than the first, because I haven't beaten it yet.
>>321784591
Who the fuck are you kidding though?
Witcher 1 was a clunky mess that lacked polish (no pun intended) and felt like a beta build, even the 'enhanced' edition.
The inventory is unintuitive as hell and the itemization is atrocious. Why in the hell did they even give you 2-3 extra weapon slots? You never had any reason to use them over the silver/steel swords. There's also a grand total of what, like 3 uninspired armor sets in the whole game?
Most quests are really fucking boring and the main story flows about as gracefully as the water in a clogged toilet. The first 3 acts build up to some crazy political intrigue bullshit and then all of a sudden you're teleported to an island where you have to save a bunch of peasants from some spooky ghosts.
The shitty part is that act 4 is the best one but its placement in the story is so jarring that it actually reduced my enjoyment of it. It's one of the only times in the game you get to feel like a Witcher, it should've been placed way closer to the beginning to further establish your character, or better yet it should have just completely replaced that fucking swamp chapter.
The graphics are also pretty shitty. I can generally overlook this but my game bugged out and I permanently set the textures to the lowest possible quality. I had to download a separate file to fix this, despite playing the fucking 'enhanced' edition. I also had a really hard time getting over how goddamn lazy they were with reusing the character models. The EXACT same character models were used on completely different quest-giving characters in the story. That's just shameless.
But you know what? I could forgive all of this bullshit if the gameplay was actually fun. The combat system is possibly one of the worst I've ever experienced. It takes 0 skill and doesn't feel satisfying in the slightest.
Despite all this I'd still recommend playing it, but only because it will increase your enjoyment of its far better sequels.
Come on guys let's pay tribute to the best scene of Current Age: Cisquisition

That is how it was designed. There are a plethora of plants that are useful and grow abundantly in our world. In W3, the kept the idea of an abundance of useful plants, but put each different plant in a different spot.
Seriously, you could bitch about the amount of Mary Sue characters, the average (if that) gameplay, the emotionless voice actor of Geralt, but you choose to bitch about the amount of herb gathering spots? Really? Honestly, this is the first time I've even heard of this complaint.
But you are clearly not gonna change your mind, so I am going to drink some rum and go to bed after this. I need to be drunk after that half assed complaint, when there are so many other reasonable complaints about the game.
>>321791580
I have that to, did it with ME, Witcher and DA
Started new game+ and realized I love Gwent. If I remember correctly most Gwent players aren't until Novigrad. Is there like a Gwent only mode?
>>321791462
I'm not kidding about CDRed being too beta to kill offmore than onecharacter. They've literally stated many times on their forums that in the upcoming expansions that they would "Never hurt their beloved characters" ie. any of the main 3 with tits.
Literally doing nothing just to appease waifufags, heaven forbid something incredibly life changing happened to make the story more interesting.
>>321791763
It's true though, why can't things just be average or better than average in some regards?
It's always either GAME OF THE FUCKING DECADE, or ABSOLUTE TRASH.
>>321791780
>Honestly, this is the first time I've even heard of this complaint.
Then you havent looked very hard.
>>321792012
Seriously thoughThat scene where Ciri is about to die and she has backflashes of her and Geralt, and then the game tricks you into thinking she is dead, I felt really sad and empty. She's literally perfect. I'm happy I had a good ending.
>>321791642
I'm with this guy. The original witcher had a GOOD story (read: not great), but combat was absolute shit. Witcher 2 kinda met halfway between the two. I feel that W3 was what they had originally envisioned with their game, finally reaching the budget, time, and manpower that was needed. And keep in mind, that is a big accomplishment, seeing as W1 was developed by a bunch of poles with no experience, just their love vidya.
It's certainly not without its flaws with a last act that feels a bit rushed, issues with responsiveness in combat and level scaling with enemies and equipment that easily ends up creating some un-fun balance issues.
Still easily my GOTY though as it does nearly every other thing right, especially if you like the series.
>>321782871

>>321792230Out of all the main characters, Ciri was the most appealing to me due to my huge father/daughter soft spot. But for fucks sake, Geralt is such an uninteresting and unlikable cunt for me that the scene really did nothing for me.
Putting that aside, it peeves me how much of a marty-stu he is at EVERY FUCKING MOMENT. I've seen JRPG characters with more room for weaknesses and character development. For 3 fucking games this shit is getting old, I just don't care about the cunt. He can do everything, so what's there to worry about? Polacks sure like to wack off over their super cool fanfic character.

>>321792739
I would say he is a half mary sue. At least he needs others to craft his armor and weapons, unlike other RPGs like Skyrim. Then again it is part of being a witcher, highly mutated and trained beyond well beyond other's capabilities. So I guess he can't do EVERYTHING, just almost everything.

/tv/ lurker. They are interchangeable. Although most will use Marty Stu.

>>321793302
Wouldn't count customizable filler characters at all, since they're not the same as a set in stone character with backstory. Least interesting written character I've seen in a while in that regard.

>mary sue
he can kill monsters and fuck girls, and that's basically it. he isn't the best at talking with people or making plans or politics. his weaknesses show up whenever he has a situation with an enemy that can't be beaten to death with either his swords or his cock

Are you actually going to try to justify why Geralt is a Gary Stu or going to throw around meaningless terms without knowing what they mean? Cause Gary Stu doesn't mean monotone voiced protagonist.

wew lad.
like I said, his only 2 talents in the world are killing monsters and making women cum. That's it. Pay more attention, he has plenty of weaknesses in his character.

>>321794376
great argument
>>321790007
It's not even the best game of 2015.
>>321794002
So Geralt should be written as a completely normal human being expected to fight monsters that would normally slaughter him? Downplaying his flaws including getting overly emotional around certain characters, not even being that strong and being a little petty at times is more proof you have no idea what a Gary Stu really is.
>>321794376
Still not going to try to refute anything? I'll take it as proof you admit you lost and shitposting, or you really have no idea what you are talking about.
>>321794484
best game of 2015 is bloodborne
Holy shit, look at the pathetic cucks
>>321790875
Bloodbourne is the better game.
>Geralt is a good character
>>321794297
what language you used for voice acting? ciris english va was trash.
also shes not very realistic char
>>321780635
Think of Fable.
Now think of a realistic Fable with harder, but slower combat, way more story, slower overall progression, and way more dialogue.
It's somewhat fun, and a good time sink if you're expecting to play it for 100 hours or so. It's not as fun as other action WRPGs in my opinion because it ends up being too deep to enjoy as an action game, and there's hardly any room for role playing, since you're always just forced to listen to the edgy MC and occasionally answer a yes or no question.
If you're cool with long, slow games with a lot if world-building/immersion, play it. If you want a right-to-the point game with a lot of combat of emphasis on frequent character progression, look elsewhere.

>geralt isn't a good character
well meme'd
>>321780635
Great game but since the gameplay is quite limited in its depth and the game is like 80h long, it will get repetitive at some point
>>321795220
who are you quoting

Hello, Sony!

>replying to bait
>>321795670
Try to prove that post wrong.
>>321795738
Here is your reply.
>>321794256
>he has plenty of weaknesses
I'm waiting.
I mentioned emotions because the games have used that trope 3 times over. He has emotions, and that gets him into situations he doesn't necessarily want to be in. It's getting old.
>wasted potential: the character
Considering he was bred as the Golden child with the purpose to control time and space to the point of surpassing Ciri and her Elder blood you'd think we atleast would see his face once or know more about his backstory.
Hell, we already knew from the books that Eredin was just all talk and relied on Imlerith to be his muscle. So I wouldnt had any problem if Caranthir saw the final fight between Geralt and Eredin and him getting his shit kicked in ass a sign of weakness so he betrays him and assumes control of the Wild Hunt himself.
>>321795957
geralt isn't very smart. his inflexibility often leads him into danger and gets him in trouble with his friends, because he can't play ball with anyone. his unwillingness to play politics earns him more enemies than friends, and he has a bad habit of keeping what friends he has at a distance, because he feels that he has no right to involve others in his business, despite this putting him in bad situations and making his job harder than it should be.
If you're one of those retards that think content alone makes a game good and not fucking gameplay itself, then sure.
Witcher gameplay sucks fucking ass.
>>321796190
Boring.
>>321796190
Why do you reply to that bait? He literally put all of these into one word he called "emotions".
I've heard that 3 is easier to run on pc than 2.
Is this true?
>>321785050
You can change the size of the hud in the options menu.
>>321789784
Its not a bug. iframes exist in the game, but they are temporarily disabled after a dodge (among other things), to prevent spamming and to get you to learn the fucking mechanics.
>>321796606
The only thing intensive on 2 is ubersampling
3 is very intensive, especially if you enable gameworks
People who claim Geralt is a Mary sue have no idea about his character. He's pretty flawed at least in the books. I guess in the games it's harder to express them. Anyways here are his flaws.
>couldn't be with the woman he loved because he couldn't properly emote and express himself
>his ideology is flawed and people call him out all the time on it
>very mopey and cynical and everyone not named Dandelion can't stand being with him for a long amount of time
>gets used as a tool
>due to his childhood he has some serious emotional problems
>>321796721
You mean the useless shill feature that they threw in to try and make up for the downgrade.
Remove an entire renderer, and give us an unoptimised hair feature that you could have used on improving the worlds look.
Thanks based slavs!
>>321796852
and Dandelion is a prick as well
>>321796852
Why don't you think he's such an unlikable character, with those points then?
>>321796025
CDPR always flops and rushes the endings.
>>321796317
Kinda agree. The amount of diversified gameplay for the amount of content is inadequate but other than that they have some really solid and well designed systems that with some love would have put the whole game on another level.
If you want to play witcher 3 to the fullest ya gotta read the books and then play the first 2, really the only way. The plot really needs you to know the backstories of the world before getting into it otherwise you won't have true appreciation for the characters and their developments.
My friend got into it and stopped because he had no idea who the fuck Ciri was, why there were alien elves running around, or any of the political conflict with the empire.
So yeah, tldr; read books, play first 2, don't be a faggot and embrace the Path.
>>321796317
>it's nit gameplay unless it's this specific thing in my head

>>321796317
Everything in a game is gameplay you retarded faggot.
>>321797079
Because there are other points about his character that counters them and make him somewhat likeable. I would say he isn't the most likeable character but I don't think he is supposed to be. Sapkowski makes it clear that he has some serious issues and he mopes a lot but it makes him a pretty interesting character. Hell Ciri,Yen, and Dandelion who are the other main characters in the books aren't the most likeable characters but they are all well written and believeable with flaws that make them feel human and real.
>>321780635
TRISS OR YEN?
>>321797592
Just stick with your meme buzzword like "gameplay" and be gone.
>>321797290
>implying the first two games arent to follow the story ofRadovid the Great and his plot to destabilize Temeria, remove the Lodge, have Geralt kill Henselt, and give power to the Order of the Flaming Rose in removal of elf kebab

>>321796951
Even without it it's pretty intensive because of the advanced shaders and tessellation
>>321780635
Just fucking pirate it, why ask someone?
>>321789890
I got that shit going on now actually.
>>321798002
I hate it when the humans lump together elves with the other elder races. elves suck, but dwarves, gnomes, and halflings, are cool guys
>>321798060
Nothing but the water and characters are tessellated.
The environment tessellation is nonexistent, as well as the particle system. As for the shaders, they didn't look that impressive to me, since every interior was bland as hell and so many things outside didn't react to certain things.
>>321797770
I always have Yen and Geralt end up together because of the books. It just feels wrong once you know the characters to have it be any other way.
>>321798338
I agree, but damned if I didn't get with Shani in HoS. Didn't even have impact, Yen's no where to be found at Kaer Morhan, so fuck it
>>321798561
Pretty sure the romance in B&W will be similar to the one in HoS were it doesn't affect the choice of Yen/Triss. I am thinking the romance will be with Fringilla.
