The combat is pretty lame, there's no finesse to it. Just spamming quick attack, dodging will practically leave you untouched.

Witcher 3's a very good and incredibly deep game, but best role-playing experience it is not. I don't think the "best RPG" should be anything with a pre-made character and pre-determined story. Fable and Dark Souls don't provide the amount of depth that TW3 has, but I certainly think they're better RPGs.

If the contest is for "overall best open-world adventure game" then yes, Witcher 3 wins.

Is Morrowind worth playing if I liked Skyrim but found Oblivion boring because half the quests don't involve combat (but still involve quest markers), and the combat itself is stiff and archery is terrible?

oblivion was actually the worst TES game. The main quest was full of that shitty oblivion-gate copypasta. The open world had less depth than morrowind and yes, skyrim too. Ironically people talk about skyrim having copy and pasted dungeons, whereas in oblivion they genuinely were - elven ruins and dwemer ruins were often exactly the same. Skyrim had a lot of effort put into it - think about the unique zones like blackreach. You're just looking at oblivion through retarded nostalgia goggles. It was decent, but the worst TES game (not including the mmo).

Oh come on you can't say that Skyrim wasn't copy paste. Every dungeon was the same fucking Draugr bullshit. Oblivion was the same but it made up for it with the quests and characters.
It's not nostalgia goggles: there's just legitimately more interesting content in Oblivion.
>>
>>322421460
the characters in oblivion? wtf they weren't memorable or interesting. The people who say skyrim wasn't interesting are the kind of people who power through the main quest and ignore world exploration, which is the whole point of TES games. Skyrim had a lot of interesting stuff in its world.
>>
Look

There's potions, oils, decoctions and bombs but they're easy to craft and you only have to do it once. Bombs aren't even very useful later on.

There's a simple crafting system for gear, some of which requires you to find the diagrams but the treasure hunter missions will point you where you need to go. Of all the crafted gear the only really unique items that do anything different are the crossbow bolts.

There's a limited number of signs that act as spells in the game.

You only have two types of melee attacks and three defensive abilities at the start of the game and it doesn't get much more complicated than that.

Dialogue options are mostly limited to two choices including for the ending of a quest.

All "statistics" are tied to gear and there is very little you can do to customize that gear other than shoving in some runes.

The whole game is easy as fuck and barebones roleplaying.
>>
>>322420434
I only like RPGs that have half-decent combat, yes. Skyrim didn't have the best combat, but I couldn't care less about story/dialogue choices. I just like the feeling of my character's numbers getting bigger with actual gameplay feedback. So Morrowind's more of a talk-y RPG like Oblivion and Pathologic?

>The people who say skyrim wasn't interesting are the kind of people who power through the main quest and ignore world exploration
There's no point to exploring the world if the world isn't interesting. I never found a single location in Skyrim that blew me away like some of the ruins that I found in Oblivion.

It's barely an RPG in the traditional sense and can't really be compared to the likes of Baldur's Gate 2.

Great reply kid.
>>
>>322421765
Actually I think it isn't interesting precisely because I did explore the world and do sidequests

Most areas are copy pasted and have no interesting features or background even if you look for them

The game is fun for a while but eventually the illusion shatters all at once and you realize you're doing the same shit over and over again and the world is hollow and your actions have no consequences

Oblivion isn't much better for this and might even be worse in some ways

I'm 25 years old but okay. Oblivion was an impressive game in 2006 but it doesn't hold up. Morrowind and Skyrim are both much better games. Morrowind much more so. Bethesda in general is a low tier RPG developer, mostly notable because nobody really makes the same kind of games that they do.

>>322424104
Then why is it that Skyrim bores me in 30-50 hours while Oblivion still holds my attention?

>>322424409
Because you personally want to believe that Oblivion is better than Skyrim, so you're unwilling to give Skyrim a proper go.
>>
>>322424409
Because you're biased and tinted by nostalgia. A sequel to your favorite game will never be as good as the original, and I highly doubt you played Morrowind before you played Oblivion.

The combat in TW2 is really bad. I'm going to get shit on for suggesting this but you should probably just play it on easy. The combat isn't nearly well tuned or balanced enough to justify it all also being fairly hard.

TW3's combat isn't exactly excellent but it's a big step up from TW2 and it has much the opposite kind of problem. Normal is actually far too easy after the first dozen hours or so. I would recommend playing on at least Blood and Broken Bones unless you absolutely hate the combat.

This exact same process is happening with MGS V. We're currently entering the second stage for MGSV right now, where people are starting to say it was a pretty decent game. Soon, most of /v/ will see it as they see Witcher 3 now, and Witcher 3 will be seen as one of the best RPGs of all time and will be ranked as "High Tier" or better in those Tier List images

>>322432151

Nah, most of /v/ has liked Witcher 3 since day 1 from a gameplay and narrative standpoint. The downgrade is really the only drama I remeber actaully being prevelent.

Bruh, 90% of the threads around Witcher 3's release were Tortanic-style threads bashing it. You can't fool me, I remember the shitstorm this game's release caused.

/v/ was nothing but "DOWNGRADE CONFIRMED BLUNDER OF THE CENTURY" for the whole week of W3's release.
>>
>>322432563
And people were also bashing the game's combat as "press X to win" which it really isn't. People still hold that view to this day.

Literally wrong.
It's just that at release the game attracted WAY more shitposters.

>>322432689
Go look at the archives if you don't believe me.
>>
>>322432563

I was here to, anon, and what I remember is /v/irgins mourning the fact that they'd just finished the game and would never play it for the first time ever again.

I remember entire threads about what a cutie Ciri is.

I remember hundreds of posts discussing why Skjall was /v/ incarnate.

I remember passionate discussions about the morality of the Family Matters quest.

And, yes, I also remember the downgrade threads. But they were just one type of thread in an OCEAN of Witcher threads.

I honestly prefer witcher 1 gameplay it also was shit but at least there was MUCH more attacks and styles and perks.
It felt much more like an actual rpg instead of this abomination of a half assed gameplay in witcher 3

Poles cant into gameplay agreed they make good story and quests but they just wanted to casualise the game as much as possible for the bamham and skyrim audience.

Honestly, I think your subconscious is blocking out what you don't want to hear.

Like I said, the archives are there. Most, if not all, Witcher threads were filled with people shitposting and bashing it.

This is what /v/ does. The sooner you open your eyes to it, the better.

Now it's either

or

>This game is dogshit I can't believe I spent money for this combat and follow red shit on the ground why is the loot so bad

I won't deny the game has some serious flaws, but people say the game's combat was the worst thing ever and how the entire game is complete garbage, come on. I haven't played many games with this much heart put into it and made me feel empty at the end.

Vocal shitposters do not speak for the majority. Ever since TORtanic /v/ has this ridiculous infatuation for big AAA games to be catastrophic failures. It's incredibly cancerous and I wish it would stop.

Why would anyone actively HOPE for something to be bad so that they can shit on it on the internet? I don't understand.

Never implied that they did. You're preaching to the choir on that one.

But the vocal shitposters do make up most of the posts on threads ESPECIALLY on the release of a big game. Most non-shitposters are playing it, and the shitposters are here on /v/ bashing the game as the next tortanic.

Meant to say that nobody called Witcher 3 a blunder at all at launch. People did complain about the downgrade a lot though, but those threads were being made even before launch.

There's an alternate movement option that was patched it months ago, m8. It really should've just been like that from the beginning but at least there's an in game option that makes it much more tolerable now.

You're seriously using THAT as proof?
In modern /v/?
If ANY game gets popular after a certain threshold, it'll attract an endless amount of shitposters.
EVERY

released in 2015 that had some kinda of popularity were shitposted to oblivion at their height of popularity.

Also, what was the answer to Geralt's riddle to the trolls?
They even managed to think of pee, which was a good answer.

I wouldn't really say so, but it's very good. Main problems were the "open world" wasn't really interesting to explore. Going to the Places of Interest eventually felt like a chore. Far too many quests boiled down to "use batman vision and find the obvious highlighted stuff".

Though I will say Skellige is literally one of the most visually pleasing landscapes ever made in a video game.
>>
Playing 1 right now, it's sort of rocky. Chapter 1 was fantastic, 2 was alright, 3 was horrid, and I'm only a little bit into 4 but it seems cool so far, with the myth stuff and lady of the lake.

How does 2 compare? I don't want to jump straight into 3 without playing the earlier ones, even if the story is standalone. Just won't feel right.

Those riddle ones or the ones you encounter with Lambert are the best. Also Bart.

Actually, the ones you encounter while looking for Thaler (the ones who really just want a nice pair of shoes) might be the best now that I think about it more.

It really raised the bar in terms of having an open-world that's densely packed with things to do. Most of which actually add to world-building and characterization.

>Fuck off back to reddit if you aren't even young enough to remember Oblivion.
Was fucking revolutionary

I had it at launch, you choad. Oblivion was and is a mediocre (though enjoyable) game. Beyond voice acting and animations it was a backstep in every conceivable way.

One of the main flaws of Morrowind was its encyclopedic NPCs. This carried over to Oblivion, but with less options per-NPC and the same six people and 006 voice acting it at you.

Leveling is just as poorly thought out as Morrowind, gimping most of the pre-made classes while going one step further by level scaling e-e-e-everything. Sheogorath must've worked overtime to give all the bandits Daedric equipment at later levels

Faction advancement isn't dependent on ability, instead playing more like a smaller version of the main quest. The problem of being 'everythingman' in Morrowind also carries over, only exacerbated by the ability for a low INT orc barbarian to be an Archmage as well as the Listener

Another (far more personal) gripe is that Oblivion throws you into 'save the world' mode from the get-go, while back in Morrowind Cauis Cosades would periodically tell you to go out and explore, a great way to introduce you to the world you're supposed to give a fuck about. I'm pretty autistic and understand that sort of thing isn't really a problem for other people.


All in all: you're wrong, and I'm sorry you like such a bland game. If it makes you feel any better, give me your address and I'll send you some Coldplay albums you'll just adore.

Hearts of Stone is a fantastic expansion but Bloodborne is an entire game. It isn't really comparable.

How are you getting BB for $10 digitally, though?

So i originally pirated the game back when it came out, did everything on the mainland and then headed to the island place skellage or w/e but then after shortly getting there i burnt out.
Should i pick it back up again or should i just watch videos for the rest of the game, cause i don't know how much stuff i had left to do really

Oh, that is what he meant. I misunderstood. I can't really speak for the Old Hunters (or BB in general because no PS4) but I can say that HoS is a 10/10 expansion and better than many individual games I've played this year.

Old Hunters is $20 btw.
