Was Witcher 3 really shit?

I didn't get very far in it. Too many RPGs nowadays are as wide as an ocean, and as shallow as a puddle.

It was a pretty good game. But you need to have some patient and experience in RPG to be able to fully appreciate.
It's not like one of those instant noodles of games like dark souls or assassin's creed.
>>
>>336578152
This, fortunately Witcher 3 didn't fall into that category.

Unles you're an autist, its one of the rare games that done open world properly.

based.

me too. I love it at firstand after maybe 4 hours of gameplay, I got disinterested and felt like I was digging a whole to nowhere.
>>
played it on the ps4, loved it, now that i'm a adult and a casual i dont really feel like playing games for hours, just short gaming sesions in between having a social life.
This game actualy made me play again like when i was a kid from, all day long.

Gothic 1 and 2 are proper open world games, not Witcher 3.
>>
>>336578439
Uh yeah as someone who liked Witcher 3 I can't agree it did open world properly at all.

Most of the "open world" revolves around walking 50 meters between loot crates surrounded by enemies

No, it wasn't. Besides, why dont you try it for yourself instead of asking strangers on the internet?
>>
>>336578724
Fortunately he was correct.

80% of the game is a find Ciri simulator with fan service
The remaining 20% is disappointing preparation and confrontation with the Wild Hunt followed by a 5 minute ending and some slides which I only found mildly less insulting than the Mass Effect 3 endings

Hearts of Stone was a big improvement though, someone actually thought that out properly

It was a fun monster hunter simulator and some of the side quests were great, including the DLC. The main quest was a complete waste of time though.

of course the game isn't shit.
if you think a game like W3 is shit I seriously doubt you've ever played a truly shit game.
I don't care if you dislike the game but it is good on a technical level.
go play some shit like Ride to Hell or Mindjacked and then tell me W3 is shit

The gameplay was objectively shit. That's really the only thing stopping me from coming back to if.

The witcher 3 had serious problems but I can't think of many games that I would play for 10 hour sessions after work, and then want to lay even more the next day. Something about it just perfectly clicked with me.

One of the major problem with Wild Hunt as enemy is that the game expected you to know books and deep lore. With it the game story was true materpiece without I guess it was kinda lame.

It doesn't have mods or multiplayer and has limited builds. It's basically a game that is meant to be played once or twice.

I think /v/ never got over the graphical downgrade because since then there's always been people talking shit about the game. If it's not your thing fair enough, but honestly I think it might be my favourite game of all time. Everything about it just clicks with me.

I put something like 140 hours into my first playthrough and I'm currently 40 hours or so into NG+ on the hardest difficulty. Gonna do the DLC when I eventually hit the appropriate level cuz I bought that when it released and haven't got around to playing it yet.

No.
It was decent game.
Some mechanics were not good but just enough but overall game was great.
Main things were characters, world and narration of the story.
The story wasn't that great but again was good enough.
Combat system wasn't great but main problem was levelling and different levels of the same monster types.
It would work much better if there would be no levelling system at all. Especially not item levels. This would make the real open world.

But as whole game its still fun to play. Really interesting world and whole atmosphere make it much better game than its look.
Solid 8/10 or even more. Definitely one of the best game of the year.

How much does IGN pay? It's MGSV if MGSV had awful gameplay in between it's awful plotline.

MGSV was a shit game. Solid 4/10. Stop rewarding shit games.

>Fantastic RPG
What? It barely qualifies as an RPG. Your options are limited as fuck when it comes to customization. You have one class with one character with pre-determined attitude. It's mostly called an RPG to justify the shitty gameplay.
>>
>>336590328
Dunno.
The game work for me. Some parts could be better(combat and levelling) but whole experience is great. At last for me.
Dunno how they make it - some Slav magic?
But it works. Just feels right.

>>336590879
So what it is if not RPG?
>>
>>336591238
How can it be a fantastic RPG when it's barely an RPG?

Barely RPG is still RPG.
But I ask you a question. What it is if its not RPG?
Action game?
Visual novel?
Adventure game?
Tell me. I am curious.
>>
>>336591596
How can a game that barely qualifies as an RPG be a fantastic RPG? You keep dodging this. Is a game that barely qualifies as a game a great game? Is a song that barely qualifies as a song a great song? Not really. If it was a fantastic RPG, it wouldn't be so barren in RPG elements. That's an oxymoron.

Witcher 3 would fall in the action adventure category really. Same as Ass Creed and BamHam.

Its RPG. Solid one. More action oriented as Gothic but with more stats, quests, items and options.

Because "barely an RPG" is a classification of genre, while "fantastic" is a point on a scale of quality.
A gun doesn´t have to be a cannon to be a well made gun.

>>336594317
A well made cannon better be a cannon and not a gun with added powder.

Well it could be a handcannon.
Is a handcannon a gun or a cannon?

Well, it's not a fucking cannon. If you mean a handcannon, say handcannon. In this case it would be action adventure and not RPG.

Absolutelty atrocious UI. I really wonder if the devs ever bothered using all the buffs and potions during some testplays.
Going through 100 different items trying to find your shit again to put it on the quickbar every single time you had to rest was incredibly tedious.

Same with the oils, why do you have to manually apply them every single time you meet an enemy. Just have Geralt do a swift animation when you run into a monstergroup you know about and have the oil for it, jesus fucking christ.
