Overrated game thread. Post a pic of a game that was hyped up as shit, then give reasons why you were disappointed.

Witcher 3
>Had friend explain story and character motives of previous games prior to playing; still lost interest after a few hours.
>Heard that combat was similar to arkham series. Got psyched. Turns out it sucks.
>Wasn't impressed with voice acting.
>Sidequests were uninteresting.
>Sure, the game was gorgeous. But that doesn't matter if I don't feel attached to the world as a whole.

I know the obvious response is going to be "you didn't play Witcher 1/2, therefore you have no right to comment on Witcher 3, FAGGOT." (Obviously, the following statement is just going to get me labeled as a "kojimafag," but that just goes to show how sensitive some Witcher fans are) I honestly enjoyed the story and characters of MGS5 better, and I'd never played a Metal Gear game before 5. A good game should be enjoyable to everybody: be it a longtime fan or newcomer. And the boring story/world wouldn't matter as much if the game play was worth a damn. However, it isn't. Honestly, the only enjoyable part of Witcher 3 was gwent.

Wow. What a rebuttal.

>Play 3 first in a story driven series
>Play 5 first in a story driven series

You are a faggot, but for a different reason.

But that's wrong

Agreed

>>322028270
The only thing affected by me not playing the previous games in the witcher series is not knowing the story. Same goes for MGS5. However, the gameplay of witcher is boring. MGS5 was a blast.

>>322028389
This is actually my first time complaining about witcher here. And if you're only defense against my arguments is that I'm "shitposting," then maybe you didn't have as much fun with Witcher 3 as you pretend.

>>322028553
Not really. My first Star Wars movie was Empire Strikes Back. I still enjoyed it thoroughly. Actually rebut the arguments next time.

Are you serious? It's like saying every book of a series should be understandable. Or every season of a movie. Of course it's possible to enjoy a third part of a series, but it's not a necessity. Have fun watching something like breaking bad season 4 without watching the first 3.

No no shitposter-kun, that belongs to Dark Souls 2

There isnt a single boss in Bloodborne that is a big guy in big armor.

Sure. But what I'm saying is that the GAMEPLAY is tedious as fuck as well. I don't think going back and replaying games from last gen is going to make me enjoy the GAMEPLAY in witcher 3.

>>322029149
I don't think you know what an argument is.
Statement: I don't like witcher 3.
Warrant: I didn't enjoy my time with it.
Evidence: The gameplay is rubbish.

Now it's your turn to disprove that. Try again.

>>322029221
I'm not trying to force the comparison with arkham combat. I'm saying that somebody told me it was similar. However, it really isn't. I actually enjoy playing Arkham games.

You didn't present any evidence though. You just gave your opinion that you didn't like the combat.

stay classy /v/
>>
>>322030283
I presented enough evidence to give you reason to believe that I don't like the game. Unless if your message is "HUR DUR YOU ACTUALLY DO LIKE THE GAME," then I'm not sure why you find it hard to believe that somebody *gasp* doesn't like Witcher 3.

>>322030402
Not same guy in other thread. But if you'd like to explain why I'm wrong, then go for it. Accusing OP of shitposting just makes you look like a fanboy faggot who can't defend his position on a game.

It isn't the same guy. Witcherfags don't have the brain capacity to understand that more than one person disagrees with them, though.

Just play it or not and stop being a drama queen.

I didn't reference ratings at all in this thread, actually. I'm curious what /v/ thinks about 2015's hyped releases, though. If this thread bothers you, then why don't you just leave and stop contributing to the "drama queen."
>>
>>322031061
Considering that I have different opinions than the other poster, yeah. It is legit. The purpose of this thread was to post your opinion on hyped games. It isn't my fault some CDPR fanboys fucked it up.
>>
>>322030564
If your point is 'I don't like this game' then there's no real response to that other than 'Ok'.

Would you like to make a more specific point about a part of the game?
>>
>>322028868
>>no story
>>Dark Souls 2.1
this
it pisses me off more when people make those fanfic theory videos where they make up 50% of the plot and pretend it was there all along in a limp dicked attempt at making the game seem a bit deeper

the game had so much potential for multiple side stories and for fleshing out the lore and backstory of the world, instead we get standard From bullshit of incoherent often contradictory scraps of environmental exposition

i fucking swear, how hard is it to hire a single writer next to 100 concept artists working on those games?
>>
>>322027530
>I honestly enjoyed the story and characters of MGS5 better, and I'd never played a Metal Gear game before 5
That's the problem. I"m a Metal Gear fan.
Playing MGSV is like watching my best friend dying a slowly painful death, it's like watch the dog who grow up with you die.
On the other hand Witcher 3 delivered everything the fans want, it's quite the opposite case.
>>
>>322031502
>If your point is 'I don't like this game' then there's no real response to that other than 'Ok,'

That's kinda what I was expecting. I didn't know this thread was going to turn into a Witcher shitstorm.

Dark Souls 2 hasn't come out yet

>>322031750
>I honestly enjoyed the story and characters of MGS5 better

Keyword: better. I still felt like the story was just looking for excuses to take Big Boss to interesting locations. However, it was more enjoyable to me than Witcher. It's great if Witcher delivered on the story end to fans of the series, but even gameplay-wise, it did nothing for me.

Witcher 3 is proof that /v/ is filled with underage kids or shills, Witcher 3 has horribly gameplay.

Everyone knows shit gameplay means a game isn't worth playing and the praise this game gets for shit gameplay means that people today don't really care about good games anymore and praise garbage like this.

>>322027530
>Heard combat was similar to Arkham series
Well you heard wrong. Sounds like your friend is a retard.

Turn up the difficulty and try to learn how to play it right. You're probably sticking to a single sign and just mashing your way through like an idiot. Try to do that anywhere above default difficulty and you're gonna get fucking wrecked.

>Sidequests were uninteresting
So either you're full of shit and trolling, or you just can't get into open world RPG's, because this game has fucking great secondary quests.

Also while the combat is pretty rad (you're an idiot), the game is very story driven and has a lot to do with getting immersed in the atmosphere. If you were looking for a game that's primarily about jumping into combat all the time, then you're playing the wrong game. Not the game's fault. Yours.
