10 hours into witcher 3 and while i think its a good game. I also think its grossly overrated and misleading on pregame advertising in that its supposed to be a huge open world with no loading times. When in reality its not that open worlded, but a series of maps that do require loading times to travel between, much like inquisition. In fact this game is very similar to inquisition in alot of aspects. Which was also a good game.
But. I was expecting something new and amazing with perfect review scores and all the hype. I am severely let down. I will take a last gen skyrim over this for a few reasons.
1. The one map open world of skyrim was amazing.
2. The quests and dialogue of skyrim is unmatched, from killing an orphanage headmaster, uncovering mage school plots, thieves guild quests, demon quests, cisero lol, on top of the main storyline, etc.
3. 1st person is awesome. Even the dull melee combat of skyrim feels fun in 1st person. But ofc using magic was much more fun and varied.
4. Level system in skyrim is also unmatched imo. Even inquisition had a better leveling system imo.
Witcher 3 has good graphics, good story n quests, good combat, good crafting, etc but just doesnt live up to its hype nor surpass skyrim in any way for me. What u guys think?
no one cares about a nameless anon's opinion
your opinion literally means less than a spec of dirt on a dead rat's carcass
stop posting
skyrim was shit xD
>>337691905
Your opinions are shit.
>>337693442
Congrats. Your opinion of OP's opinion has equal value.
I played Witcher 3 more than Skyrims with mods.
Skyrim can never reach that Witcher 3 quality, and after playing W3 I can't go back.
Though I do wish both games had better combat systems.
>>337691905
thats nice todd
>>337691905
Did you play the witcher 1 or 2? You sound like a casual with shit opinions.
>>337691905
Is this bait?
The only point in which i may agree with you is the first one, but even then TW3 world was way better.
>>337691905
I like TES V better than witcher 3, but your opinions are shit.
Witcher 3 would have been better with a first person mode. It's got a beautfiul game world, i would have liked to explore it in first person view.
>>337691905
>When in reality its not that open worlded, but a series of maps that do require loading times to travel between
3 maps 3 loading screens, that is it.
(i extra for vizima castle)
>>337691905
First it was Witcher vs Dragon Age Inquisition, now it's Witcher vs Skyrim. Why won't you people find better things to do with your time?
>>337691905
the further in you get the bigger the world becomes you mongoloid
>The quests and dialogue of skyrim is unmatched
stopped reading there, also what the fuck OP, are you literally Todd Howard?
>>337691905
>1. The one map open world of skyrim was amazing.
Are you retarded?
Skyrim has hundreds of little maps, you have one open world but every other town, dungeon and major building is it's own separate map complete with loading screen. Witcher 3's cities are actually in the world map and you can travel to them without a loading screen, not only that but both the Skellige would map and Velen world map are much larger than the entirety of Skyrim, oh and the cities have more than 10 houses. Your opinion is wrong.
>2. The quests and dialogue of skyrim is unmatched, from killing an orphanage headmaster, uncovering mage school plots, thieves guild quests, demon quests, cisero lol, on top of the main storyline, etc.
The main storyline was garbage, dragons show up kill dragons, but the dragons don't do anything beside fly around random towns and die. And all the fucking guide quests were terrible in Skyrim fucking every single one ends with you being the leader of that guide even if you don't have any points in magic you end up the Archmage, shit writing and shit opinion.
>3. 1st person is awesome. Even the dull melee combat of skyrim feels fun in 1st person.
No it fucking doesn't, while Witcher 3's combat is also shitty, it's a hell of a lot more engaging than floaty ass skyrim where nothing has any impact and you hammer m1 on everything's face. At least Witcher 3 attempted to give it more depth with the two levels of dodge, parries and counters and so forth, horse combat, it's still mostly shit, but it's better than skyrim.
>4. Level system in skyrim is also unmatched imo.
Kill yourself.
Kill yourself.
>>337695214
>falling for OP's blisteringly obvious bait
>>337691905
I haven't played Witcher 3, but I imagine it's open world has to be miles ahead of the barren wasteland that is skyrims empty over world
>>337695348
Kill yourself.
>>337691905
I'll bite the bait
>1. The one map open world of skyrim was amazing.
I very much disagree. Everything about Skyrim's over world has the typical problems of Bethesda games. They are capable of looking pretty for distant screen shots, but as soon you eye any texture in the map or get to your destination, the world falls apart. Fuck even playing it on consoles. Witcher 3 in comparison was screenshot-heaven even on consoles. Beautiful sunsets, flora, fauna, attention to weather effects and other technical limitations that simply put are far out of bethesda's reach.
>2. The quests and dialogue of skyrim is unmatched, from killing an orphanage headmaster, uncovering mage school plots, thieves guild quests, demon quests, cisero lol, on top of the main storyline, etc.
I'll give Skyrim one caveat in that for a traditional role playing sense, you're far more enabled to "create" a narrative for your character based on the quest lines. However, the benefit of the Witcher -is- Geralt's character, and you're allowed small leanways to craft your version of him (Is he a cold professional, or nearly a knight errant? A mix of both?) Skyrim still contains a constrictive narrative, especially compared to its older titles like Morrowwind. Doesn't help I found the overarching plot of Skyrim to be terrible.
>3. 1st person is awesome. Even the dull melee combat of skyrim feels fun in 1st person.
The fact you acknowledge it as "dull" proves the point. I also can't stand first person combat in fantasy games. Its a terrible concept and makes swordplay the equivalent of swinging a baseball bat. This is something Witcher excels in comparison
>4. Level system in skyrim/dragons age
Nope, Witcher is far more open than both. Significanlty more so.
>Witcher 3 has good graphics, good story n quests, good combat, good crafting, etc
It does. I can see the appeal Skyrim has to people, but as far as narratives, core gameplay, visuals, atmosphere and core mechanics go, Witcher wins.

I hate WRPG's but if I have to choose I'd pick the Witcher.
TeS games suck dick and lack creativity.
>>337695214
>>337695467
1. Wrong. All the maps in the witcher 3 are maybe 1/5th of skyrims map at best. And i actually prefer fast travel in skyrim compared to having to run to a signpost in witcher
2. Ur opinion. Ive never seen any game come anywhere near as good as the quests in skyrim. Even topping Kotor when it first came out
3. Ok. Then that rlly makes the witcher combat mundane
4. Skyrims leveling is fun for me since u level up the more u use skills and have complete freedom to mix and match n experiment and level as u plz. I think the skill trees in witch are horrible. Or any game that forces u to raise the same skill 5 points just to get to the next branch. Seems like needless boring padding.

well, skyrim is better if mod it as fuck and you also want a porn game
>>337691905
Skyrim's questing system is actually its weakest point. They are unoriginal and at times poorly written. The specialized guilds don't feel all to specialized especially when compared to it's predecessors. You aren't even really doing much "mage" training in the mage guild, just uncovering some shitty plot about some ancient artifact i gave no fucks about. The combat is pretty floaty and at times makes me miss the shitty "miss miss miss" morrowind combat.Stealthy archer is still fun tho. The removal of past mechanics dulls the experience and the hand holding turns off most fans of the older games.Clocked 1,000 hours in it due to porn mods though

>>337695623
This has to be bait
Skyrim had dry, uninteresting dialogue and the writing has gone down hill since morrowind
Fetch quests and copy pasta dungeons have been around for sure, but skyrims dungeons felt lifeless (other than some of the dwemer underground sections)
As usual the only positive side was the modding community when they weren't too busy making ridiculous porn mods

The Witcher 3 map is way better in term of realisation, much believable and with cities that actually have the size of a cities
Meanwhile Bethesda is still stuck with loading screen every time you go in a tiny house
>The quests and dialogue of skyrim is unmatched
nope
Level system in skyrim is also unmatched imo. Even inquisition had a better leveling system imo.
leveling system was waaayyy better in Oblivion

The reason Skyrim's open world is better than witcher despite it being smaller.... if the fact that you can interact with 99% of anything in the skyrim world. You even get in trouble for stealing which is perfect for RPing a thief. There's always random wildlife roaming around Skyrim making it feel alive and there's random activities and events that you can run into just by traveling. A game like Witcher or Dragon age is already preset and the open world is plain and dull and boring other than maybe looking nice.... I have been watching a few live streams of Witcher 3 and other than the fact the game does "look" nice in terms of texture quality.... the combat looks generic and boring, even more so than Skyrim.... and that's saying alot because Skyrim's combat is pretty basic. But at the same time, Skyrim and Witcher are in no way comparable games.... it's quite stupid for someone to say one game sucks because they prefer the other. I can see why people like Witcher.... I can see why people like Skyrim. But just know that size does not mean better automatically. Because Skyrim's map may not be as big, but the almost limitless amount of freedom and interactions you can do within that world makes a game like witcher look tiny. I'm am willing to bet once you play through witcher.... you will no longer have any reason to keep playing the game since you will have to play through it again as the same character..... and do the exact same things you did last time around. I have played through Skyrim atleast 5 times and each time was completely different with a completely different character. Sure the main questlines are the same, but the amount of randomness that you encounter throughout your journey is enough to make it a new experience.
remind me again how Witcher qualifies as an RPG again
>>337697026
anon you're trying too hard
Witcher 3 is trash desu. These threads are hit by the same CDPR drones willing to damage control this shit. Read the image I post. It says everything you need to know about Witcher 3 and its fanbase.
Everyone ignores CDPR drones for a reason.
Who
/likeskyrim&Witcher3/ here?
>>337696760
Let me ask you this.... What reason would you have to go out and explore the open world in Witcher if you weren't actually on a quest? If a quest is not activated, could you still explore an area and then complete that area and then find something that is actually a quest item and return it to someone before you ever talked to them? Skyrim and Witcher are complete opposite. Witcher's world was built for the story... whereas Skyrim's world was built and the Story was placed within it. I mean every single NPC in Skyrim other than City Guards and Bandits are actually someone and have a name. What other game other than Fallout which comes from the same company can you say has a world like that? I can see people comparing Witcher 3 to Dragon Age, but not Skyrim/Elderscrolls.... No way no how.
>>337697026
Despite all the blatant shitposting going on from both sides, the random factor is probably one of the better aspects of Skyrimjob. The mods help it a ton too.
Is there a mod that makes the guild quest in Skyrim not as shitty? I don't want to be the chosen one every time I join a new guild
>people thinking Witcher 3 has better combat than Skyrim
Skyrim's combat is slower paced and different from Witcher 3. Each attack as a counter. Regular attacks can be blocked. Strong attacks can crush through blocks. Shield bash interrupts strong attacks. Witcher 3 is mostly about fast attacks and dodge, i never use strong attacks or roll because neither are necessary. Skyrim also has a ranged combat system completely lacking in Witcher 3, as well as a stealth system. It's debatable which combat system is better, some prefer the fast paced dodge, attack, attack, dodge dodge, attack attack, repeat mechanism of Witcher 3.
>>337697350
Nope.
Unfortunately mods cant fix shitty writing

This is more a condemnation of GTA5 than anything. Takes less time to walk across than Skyrim while being a game designed for driving cars.
>>337695617
Witcher 3 is a really good game, but Skyrim just leaves you witch much more options on character developement and every game feels different.
Play an assasine, barbarian, magician, bowman.....
In Witcher you have skills, yes, but they all feel the same...
Witcher, really good game, play it once, done.
Skyrim, awesome game with tons of bugs, free world and play it for 100s of hours...

>Even the dull melee combat of skyrim feels fun in 1st person.
No it doesn't
>>337697450
This has more to do with the upgrade system than anything. If you put points into strong attacks then they'd be worth using sometimes, mostly against large monsters and smaller enemies who are staggered or otherwise wide open. The problem is, why would you put points into it when 90% of the time fast attack is better?
