Creative Assembly really outdid themselves with this game. From watching the previews you could tell it was going to be a great but the final product exceeded my expectations. They nailed the atmosphere and the xenomorphs perfectly. I highly doubt there will ever be another Alien game of comparable quality. Sure, it not perfect but its easily the best 2014 game, imo.

bethbr-bros, here he is, here is he, bullying and mocking us again

b-b-but he is right, Bethesda has failed

Fallout 4 just wasn't as good.. we have to admit it, there is no doubt

I-I think this may over... for us, for everything... I am not sure Todd can bring us back from this... can he? He is just so... small... Iwinski is 6'1 and Todd isn't even 5'7

Ma-maybe we should've just shilled harder. Yes, that may be it. Maybe it was us who have failed. We have failed Todd, after everything he gave us. He counted on us... for nothing.

I-I can't... can't hold the pain any longer... I see lights now...

It was great but I liked Witcher 3 more.

partly because I can actually play the latter at a good framerate.

That, and I'm a sucker for ornate, but reasonable european longswords and W3 scratched that itch like crazy.

Well, let's see

> Clunky combat
> Really bad animations
> Piss-poor voice acting
> An open world with lots of repetitive side-quests that just gets boring

vs.

> Tight combat controls
> Proper animations and voice acting for story
> Everything in the game world has a purpose

I'd say Bloodborne is the better game. I enjoyed TW3, but it has some glaring flaws in it.

You be salty but the truth is good games get awards and praises. You don't have to liek that game but there's a clear differance between something good and bad.

IF bloodborne was good then it would of had the scores, sales and awards to prove it. It doesn't.

Surely you can't be this dumb on purpose.
The fact that 2 guys like a game, that i happen to like too, isn't getting me salty or heated.
What bothers me is that these 2 guys are being petulant and dismissive toward another game i like, when asked what makes BB better than W3.
Now this:>>333112581
is a better post, that doesn't bother me, for the opposite reason i called out the earlier posts, even if it's critizing W3.
And if insults, on a chinese cartoons board, bother you, maybe this isn't the place for you.
>>
>>333112826
It's not that BB is impressive, it's just that TW3 looks like a game from 2007 when it comes to animations.

The devs were too ambitious with scope. The game would be more interesting and polished if they didn't have so many 'go hear and blow up the monster nest' quests.
>>
Yeah I said it.

>>333114942

it has really impressive animations for conversations. especially facially. dear lord its basically as good as it gets apart from la noire.

Arkham Knight is better than the Witcher 3 in literally everyway

Gameplay

Witcher 3:
>either engaging in boring dialogue with a whopping 2-3 options to choose from that vary from Chaotic Yes, Neutral Yes and Maybe later
>or engaging in repetitive combat that always feels the exact same and is easy as shit because you can literally broke 99% of the attacks in this game with zero consequence

Batman Arkham Knight:
>Batmobile segments to break up the other forms of combat
>Melee based combat with numerous factors involved such as the managing of healers who revive downed enemies, need to avoid attacking shockers from the front while managing the larger enemies
>Stealth based gameplay that can be mixed up with the batmobile, melee combat or pure stealth


Graphics:

Arkham Knight:
>best looking open world game ever made

Witcher 3:
>downgraded trash worse than GTA V

Setting:

Witcher 3:
>Generic tolkien fantasy #12442

Arkham Knight
>completely original setting that isn't too large nor too small and has a perfect blend of verticality, streets and interiors

Story

Witcher 3:
>NEED TO GET MUH DAUGHTER WHO IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE ALL THE TIEM

Arkham Knight
>An inner struggle with Bruce Wayne coming to the realization that he might need to kill himself figuratively speaking. He feels that he is no longer as feared as he used to be and needs to become darker and more ruthless if Gotham can ever be safe. The story inflicts countless mind games, trickery and fantastic foreshadowing and while the twist was predictable at least it wasn't like Witcher 3 which was predictable in its entirety

This. For someone who is far more into the singleplayer side of things, it was really disappointing that Rockstar put ALL of their focus on the multiplayer and we didn't get the same amazing DLC treatment that GTAIV got.

I don't hype after any game. I have my fair share of discoveries on Steam, 4chan and Internet blogs and forums. In addition, there's a bunch of autistic eternal titles that keep me entertained until any game gets released.

I've mastered the expectations' zen
