Which is better, Witcher 3 or Dragon Age: Inquisition? I only have enough money for one.
DA:I of course
>>337789096
If piggu elf didn't cut her own hair, she wouldn't look so bad.
>>337788914
Both are pretty okay, they're more or less the same content wise
>>337788914
I played DA:I for 5 hours before giving up and W3 for 2 hours
So DA:I for me
>>337789207
>in game model without blur and filter effects at actual resolution
>>337788914
Witcher 3, by far. I just wish they were released in the same year so we could've had W2 vs DA2 all over again.
>Witcher 2 comes out
>any Dragon Age 2 supporters if still had vanish into thin air
>>337789278
My god. What the fuck?
>>337788914
Witcher 3 by a fucking light year.
This is like asking what's better, half life 2 or call of duty ghosts
>>337789278
>someone was legitimately paid to write her dialog
Sera and Cole are the same kind of LOLRANDUM dialog, except written with different flavors. I guess Cole catered to headmates and other deviant groups.
>>337789339
W3 vs DA:I wouldn't happen though, all the biodroneslike megot cured by DA2
>>337789278
witcher 3, it gives you a lot more content for your money, and some of the quests are the best i ever played in a rpg.
>all these W3 fanboys not giving any reasons
Stay salty
>>337789472
It's a superior game in every respect and outdid Inquisition at it. I guess you'll go with DAI if having a party to control is what you want, but that's about it. Game suffers from shoddy craftsmanship all the way throughout.
>>337788914
Pirate them and try out both. Then buy the one you enjoy more. Pretty simple, isn't it?
>>337789472
W3, I have 159 hours on it. The expansion (heart of stone) is alone worth getting the game for.
Havent read any salty posts in this thread, You are just scraping the barrel right now
>>337789563
DA:I's story is pretty good
Just take a rogue so you can cut through the HP sponge enemies and ignore the pointless collectibles
Witcher 3 is in a whole different league, of course
>>337789278
Looks a bit like Steve Buchemi here
>>337788914
DA:I has a bit more combat variety.
W3 has far better writing and beating Bloodmarch was more rewarding than beating DA:I's nightmare.
>>337788914
Dark Souls 3
>W3 vs DA:I
Overall, which has more content?
DA:I
its so much fun!
>>337789640
>DA:I's story is pretty good
It is, all 10 hours of it. Problem is it's padded as FUCK with needless shit. Witcher 3 side quests are at least interesting and you can tell effort was put into them. Inquisition's sidequests feel like "we made the zones too big, let's fill them with whatever".
>>337789754
W3 has a shitload of sidequests with actual writing AND a stupid boring open world on top
DA:I just has fetch quests and a stupid boring open world
>>337788914
DA:I isn't that great but it's definitely better than W3.
>>337788914
DA3 is less complex, which isn't necessarily a negative
>>337789824
Most of W3s quests ate fetch quests though
>>337788914
DA:I is either bad or bland in every single way.
It plays like an offline MMO with terrible characters, script, story, etc.
It's a quantity over quality game.
TW3 has poor combat but the writing, characters, story and quests are leaps and bounds better and more interesting.
The bloody baron optional questchain alone from TW3 is better than anything in DA:I.
W3 is objectively the best game
>>337788914
DA:I if you want to fight the patriarchy.
>>337789793
Yeah definitely
I just go the mod that reduces all operations times to 0 to cut through the war table bullshit and then did enough stuff in the first two zones to get enough power or whatever it's called to do the main quests
I feel sad for completionists who actually got all those shards for a 5% elemental resistance bonus
>>337789886
What adds complexity to W3 though?
Witcher 3 is way better than dragon age, dragon age is a daggers game. It tries to make your character a homo
>>337788914
Both have shit gameplay and therefore are shit games
/thread
Dragon Age, ignore the Witcher shills.
>>337788914
Witcher 3, hands down.
DA:I is a mindnumbing grindy snoozefest. I quit playing 30 hours in because I was afraid my brain would go into a vegetative state.
>>337788914
witcher 3
>>337789652
Are you outta' your fuckin' mind?
>>337789339
>mfw Bioware devs supposedly cheered when W3 was delayed to 2015
On a side note, whose excited for blood and wine. It looks like it's going to be great
I'm looking forward to that more than any actual full game this year
That is really not a serious question, OP.
Faggot Age: Cisquisition is just horribad game and should only be pirated.
>>337790043
Funny it was like that for Witcher with me but only after 5 hours
Witcher 3 of course.
DA:I quests feel like a MMO where you are alone, a bit like Reckoning, but with shittier gameplay. It's better than DA2, worse than DA:Origins.
>>337790043
I don't understand this reasoning
Why didn't you just _not_ do all the open world bullshit? I'm not saying DA:I is a good game but I don't understand why you would do the grindy stuff and then quit the game instead of just focusing on the main quest line
>>337790119
They're just mad that a bunch of fucking pollocks started a better series using one of Bioware's own engines.
>>337790043
>DA:I is a mindnumbing grindy snoozefest. I quit playing 30 hours in because I was afraid my brain would go into a vegetative state.
I think making the Hinterlands the first zone was a massive mistake, in part because it's not a zone you're meant to 100% the moment you get there. It also doesn't help all zones are basically copy-pasted aside from how they look and small story-arc each has. You're still doing the same shitty collectable quests in each and every one.
>>337790314
Because open world was and still kinda is the latest fad. Also, Skyrim comparisons.
>>337790314
Almost the entire game is said open world shit. The main questline is very short.
>>337790159
I hope the vineyard thing isn't shallow and i like the sound of dyeing armour.
>>337789096
I really wish you could kill her in the game right where you meet her.
>>337790314
Because the main quest is a grind, and the writing was absolutely shit.
>>337788914
The Witcher 3.
>>337790314
>Why didn't you just _not_ do all the open world bullshit?
You're acting like ignoring majority of the content in the game is a good option and you also seem to be implying that chasing around an incompetent villain and defeating him at every step is fun.
Also the game forces the extra content on you in some aspects with the power system.
>>337790482
So? All I did was do the main and companion quests and kill the dragons, not sure why anyone would go around collecting all the collectibles
>>337790575
>You're acting like ignoring majority of the content in the game is a good option
I specifically said that I'm not saying it's a good game
I just don't understand why people (correctly) complain about boring open worlds but don't just ignore them
>Also the game forces the extra content on you in some aspects with the power system.
That's like 3 hours in the first area and then when you get Skyhold you can just buy power
>>337790589
>not sure why anyone would want to do any optional stuff in an rpg
It's not like the main questline is good either.
>>337788914
Honestly I go with Witcher, so long as occult shit doesn't bother you. Cisquisition looks good, but Bioware grates on my nerves real fast.
>>337790827
>occult shit
you realize it's a fantasy rpg, right?
Not recognizing this copy paste.
Jeez people, come on.
>>337790787
>>not sure why anyone would want to do any optional stuff in an rpg
That's ridiculously reductionist and you know it
Optional stuff includes things like side quests with actual writing, that doesn't mean you have to go around collecting shards all day
It just boggles my mind that people still haven't caught on to how stupid the "open world" trend is
>>337789096
holy shit she looks cute as fuck
>>337789241
no. DA has so much micro managing it gets tedious. W3 is much more bearable and just more fun to play.
>>337790712
>I specifically said that I'm not saying it's a good game
I didn't say you argued that at all, but if someone buys an open-world RPG, ignoring the open world which contains majority of the content is incredibly silly. I wouldn't have bought DA:I if I didn't want to play in the open world and the same goes for games like The Witcher 3 and Just Cause 2.
>That's like 3 hours in the first area and then when you get Skyhold you can just buy power
No, the power requirements increase over the game for main quests and side areas. You can buy power, but you're arguing that a player should be forced to waste in game money on a nonsensical resource that shouldn't be in the game over actual useful equipment.
>>337791152
>buying a Bioware game
>probably for full price
Oh I see the problem here, you're an idiot
Witcher 3 has better gameplay, I like the characters and setting more, it feels like a much more creative fantasy world because of its influence from a different culture than our own. I couldnt really get into DA:I or any other ones though, just my two cents on it. Witcher 3 also has a fucking absurd amount of content, each little piece with its own good characters. Fighting monsters, learning their attacks, is great although sometimes they have way too much fucking health which seems to be a problem with Dragon Age too.
Im not saying popularity = good but people still make Witcher threads, no one seems to actively talk about Dragon Age.
>>337789930
No the combat is good. You have two forms of dodging, a wide variety of attacks, buffs, debuffs for enemies, and each one comes at you with a different pattern to learn making it skill based on top of the RPG randomness of damage numbers. Its good, everyone seems to agree its good but when I come on /v/ not only is it bad but the worst thing ever some fucking how.
>>337791345
>each one comes at you with a different pattern to learn making it skill based
>cast igni
>use alt igni to finish enemy off
wow man those patterns
>>337789771
Pshhh, nothing personell
>>337788914
I own both, Witcher 3 is better. DA:I is also okay. Both are fine OP go for whichever looks better to you.
>>337791428
Thats irrelevant to the fact that the attack patterns are there, you're not even trying to deny it. I found igni to be poor at stunning and barely does anything unless you upgrade, but I played on Death March and maybe its different.
DA:I IS SHIT
DON'T DO IT OP I PLAYED THROUGH THE WHOLE THING BECAUSE I'M STUPID
THE GAME IS SHIT
>>337788914
Dont listen to anti witcher trolls. Witcher 3 is easily game of the year 2015 and the best RPG to have come out in recent years.
>>337791581
Oh wow you played on DM, excuse me for not recognizing how cool and hardcore you are
>barely does anything unless you upgrade
No fucking shit
You should kill yourself if you like or play any of these series or games from these developers
Shit games and sjw overtones
Is Witcher 3 actually a fun game?
Does it have replayability?
Is it's main draw not it's narrative?
>>337791731
What the hell is the matter with you? I brought it up because of its relevance to the discussion that I now see you're not interested in having.
>>337788914
HOW ABOUT YOU FUCK OFF WITH YOUR ANTI PROGRESSIVE THREADS BACK TO 8CH YOU WOMEN HATER
>>337789278
I can cherrypick too you know. pic related looks good
DA:I is bad and W3 is good.
vidya hipsters who say otherwise are the fucking worst. Being a contrarian doesn't make you cool.
>>337791801
>says he played on DM as if that isn't what every single person who ever touched a Witcher game before did
>says igni gets better if you upgrade it, which is a shocking revelation in an RPG
>>337791786
The writing is some of the best in recent years.
Gameplay is ok, but not as a bad as people make it out to be here on v/.
Graphics are delicious and it's really well optimized.
The amount of fun you'll have depends largely on how engaged you are with the story.
>>337788914

No it... it really doesn't.

yes.

Yes, most definitely, I also like how you picked a picture where its raining where it makes characters look worse.

Well Yen and Ciri are part elven so they kind of count.

You best be baiting.

Those lips are made for blowjobs.
>>337792542
Not that guy, but wasn't there the whole thing about Elder Blood coming from a half-elf? That's why Avallac'h was so interested in it, no?
Not sure where he's getting the Yen part from though
>>337792542
Ciri does indeed have elf blood in her. Yen I don't know about, and I doubt it.
>>337792542
>>337792680
Yen is 1/8 or 1/10 elf, I forgot.
t. book fag
>>337792542
They are.
Yen is a quadroon, her mother was half elf and Ciri has elven genes in her due to the whole Lara Dorren shit.
>>337792742
I'm a bookfag as well, where do they say that?
Really gotta reread them sometime
>>337791992
>The writing is some of the best in recent years.
Ok? That's not that important considering its a video game. It needs replayability that devices from tight and we'll instituted mechanics. It needs challenge and good design.
>Gameplay is ok, but not as a bad as people make it out to be here on v/.
An ok game with a good story is still just an ok game.
>Graphics are delicious and it's really well optimized.
Honestly as it's fun I couldn't care if it's stuck at 720p
>The amount of fun you'll have depends largely on how engaged you are with the story.
Sounds like everything that's wrong with modern gameplay design, this idea that narrative has to be at the forefront of the development. This disastrous misconception that games need to have a cinematic feeling and that a good story is paramount to what makes a game good.
I'll bet the game has shit tons of lines of dialogue, there's a dialogue wheel or choice mechanic when talking to people, and a big draw of the game is choosing who you fuck. Am I far off?
>>337788914
gameplay is shit in both of em,witcher 3 is actually good in everything else though
>>337792809
Why are you even asking if you don't like RPGs in the first place?
>>337788914
Witcher 3 by far. Better story and overall is more fun to.
Dragon Age is good too but not as good.
>>337792801
actually this guy >>337792757 is right, shes 1/4 elf
It was either in the short stories or one of the first couple of books in the series and mentioned only in passing, since it has no real bearing on anything.
>>337788914
DOOM, it's the better RPG :^)
>>337789278
geralt would probably kill this drowner desu
>>337788914
DA:I has better lore and fun companion quests
W3 is gorgeous, gameplay is good for the first 50 hours or so, being medival detective is fun and has top tier waifus.
Both main quests are pretty shit.
Overall witcher is a better game to which you can return foreveror until witcher 4 comes outjust to roam the world. With the dragon age I had more emotional moments but I can't force myself to replay the game thanks to the really shitty gameplay which sucks because I've heard that Trespassers is great.
>>337792809
So you hate RPG's in general... Why are you in this thread?
>>337792809
Yup, pretty much.
Difference is between this game and other RPG's like Mass Effect and Dragon Age 2&3 they actually haven't done a half-assed job.
>>337792987
>better lore

Origins is the only good game in the Dragon Age series.
>yfw you have been here to witness Witcher vs. Origins and Witcher 2 vs. Dragon Age 2 threads
Well at least the witcher 3 had better villains, right? I mean the wild hunt didn't do much but there were at least more interesting than crow man with dragon.

How do you even become 1/10 something?
>>337792809
t. /vr/ faggot
>Bait thread gets 100 post
>>337792897
>since it has no real bearing
Well certainly not to the main story though it does explain why Yen is the way she is as her father disowned her and beat her for being part elf and a hunchback though I suppose that was the more of the latter than the former. It's ok though as Yen ended up killing him at some point and getting revenge for what he did to her.
>>337792887
>>337793012
>RPGS are good because of the stories!
What a generic defense.
Expected.
Daggerfall, Morrowind, Pokemon Crystal, Paper Mario, Phantasy Star IV, and New Vegas are some of my favorite games of all time and the story is nowhere near what makes them great.
They have nice challenge and a huge variety of replayability.
Playing games for the story is like reading books for the pictures.
>>337793126
They killed old man Yesumer. Thats enough for them to make my best villian and shit list at the same time.
>>337793108
I remember playing the DA2 demoANOTHER WAVE!and actually, seriously saying "it's just a demo guys, they'll fix the wave combat now that everyone complained about it"
Feels good not to be a biodrone anymore
>>337793106
Again?
Oh well.
>>337793126
That may be so, but Wild Hunt in 3 are still absolutely garbage villains. I don't know how they fucked Eredin up so badly when they had him be compelling and unsettling antagonist in the first game. He has more dialogue in Witcher 1 than the third game where the subtitle is 'Wild Hunt' for fucks sake.
>>337788914
Why notpirate both?
OP here, still no consensus.
Guess I'll get DA:I
>>337793126
no cause they fucked Eredin up so hard it's not even funny
he nearly has the same word count in the trailer than he did in the final game...
>>337793284
>Playing games for the story is like reading books for the pictures.
Comic books, maybe.

It's better than either of these.

Wish they made the final boss fight a lot more challenging, he was a joke. On blood and bones difficultly.

You should think before you type next time
>>337793284

He's right though.
I mean he sounds ridiculously arrogant and full of himself, but story-based design is the worst thing to happen to gaming in the history of the medium.
>>337793284
>Morrowind
>replayabiltiy
wat? you can only explore everything once
>>337793335
I know you made this thread specifically to shit on DA:I, as a circlejerk of hatred, probably as a reaction of someone critiquing TW3 in another thread.
But still, on the very low chance it was a legitimate question, do get DA:I. Its just as bloated with low quality content, but the good stuff is better in it than in TW3.
>>337793284
I never said the story was the main reason to play RPGs.
>>337793284
>playing New Vegas for the gameplay
>>337793535
>the good stuff is better in it than in TW3.
>good stuff
I've played through both games and the DLC for both and I cannot think of a thing in DA:I that I'd say is "good stuff"
>>337793126
They are both shit, but DA's one had a pretty interesting gimmick so he kind of wins. Still, Witcher had three witches and a dark horse that kind of count so it wins.
>which is better, eating shit or eating shit that's been puked on?
>>337793515
story-based games have been around since before you were born kid
>>337793590
Trespasser's good when you get to the actual end part, past all the fade portal bullshit
>>337793515
Oh yeah? Games like Planescape Torment and Shadowrun: Dragon Fall are worse/more cancerous games than CoD or Asscreed?
Get your priorities straight.
>>337793673
>It gets good when you get to the end
are you serious right now
>>337793750
You asked for good stuff, not for good stuff that makes it worth playing the rest of the game!

>>337793590
>I've played through both games and the DLC for both and I cannot think of a thing in DA:I that I'd say is "good stuff"
I have to call you a liar. Either you haven't played the content you mentioned, or you did like it, and choose to act as if you didn't.
>>337793681
Planet Escape Tournament is well-known for having mediocre combat, but why'd you mention Dagon's Fall? Its combat is actually a good reason to play the game
>>337793673
Tresspasser is, what, three missions? It might get good at the end, but the end is three hours into it. and it's not even a good fight. You talk at a goblin and then "PLEASE BUY THE NEXT DRAGON AGE"
Inquisition. No point in getting Witcher 3 at all.
>>337793126
Mainstory villains are shit desu, but HoS is fucking awesome
>>337793870
>Its combat is actually a good reason to play the game
Not really, its a dumbed-down Xcom, not terrible mind you, but if it didn't have as good a story, setting and characters as it did, it would be fairly forgettable.
>DAI
>pretty average, but youll probably finish it
>W3
>most generic shit youll ever play
pirate both, youll probably quit witcher 3 within the first 30 minutes.
Remember when we thought Awakening was pretty bad?
And then DA2 came out. Glorious.
>>337793750
To be fair, that's how people enjoy Dragon's Dogma.
I think people who play non tabletop fantasy games are just retarded in general.
>>337793535
>>337793987
I thought we purged the last of the biodrones.
>>337793987
Gotta say, Dragon Age's "political intrigue ball" segment was better than The Witcher's.
>>337793284
>Playing games for the story is like reading books for the pictures.
nice analogy faggot
>>337794019
>Remember when we thought Awakening was pretty bad?
No
>>337794061
It was. The Baron was the pinnacle questline between the both of them.
>>337794058
>how dare people disagree the circlejerk!!
>>337794019
Awakening is the best Dragon Age related product ever sold, closely followed by Trespasser.
>>337793809
I played DA:I because people said "it's better than DA2" which may be true, but that doesn't make it a good game. The combat is endlessly derivative, the character models are ugly, the voice acting is simply not good. The plot could have been interesting if the cutscenes weren't ranging from hilariously bad to cringeworthy. For being an offline MMO, you're given surprisingly little to actually do.
>>337793515
I don't know, Uncharted is pretty good to me m8
>>337794158
>little to do
Have to call you a liar again. My biggest issue with the game is that there is too much to do. Too much busy work.
When you hate the game for the opposite of what most of its fans complain about, you know you aren't hitting the nail right.
>>337793667
>story-based games have been around since before you were born kid
I'm probably older than you but yes I'm aware, the problem is that now they're the pushed prerogative for AAA games. Not a single one has benefitted from it.
>>337793681
The only real problem with COD is how quickly they shell them out yearly which leads for next to no serious innovation between releases. The COD multiplayer however, hate it all you want, it has extreme replayability and keeps people coming back. The last of Us and the Uncharted games have nice stories but play them once and that's it. You're done.
>>337794246
sorry, little meaningful things to do.
is that better?
>/v/ is now so contrarian that it is recommending Dragon Age: Inquisition over Witcher 3
New low even for you.
>>337794319
>CDPR drone so mad that everyone saw through CDPR's scam after the first week
Witcher 3 is the worst of open-world design in one game. Literally no point in playing that turd.
>>337794246
Most people don't consider MMO tier quests in a singleplayer RPG 'too much too do', it is beyond filler.
>>337794319
Not a new low for CDPR, though. That would be their programming.
>>337794319
It is the EA shills

I thought that was the prevailing opinion as well. Did you guys really not like Coryntheus?

Witcher 3 DLC is actually good unlike EA bullshit DLC practices
>still responding to EA shills
Just don't give them any (You)s and their power fades.
>>337794428
People who haven't actually played it keep harping on about this character they happen to know is gay and complaining that being gay is all there is to his character, and also there's an unattractive female character, so really, they know everything they need to know about the game to tell you it's shit.
>>337794535
>>337794468
Guys, guys, guys, you're both shills and your companies are both dog shit.
>>337794454
Yes YOU!
>>337794428
The prevailing opinion in any reasonable gaming community is that there is a great game in Dragon Age Inquisition, but sadly it is hidden between the Close 20 rifts and Collect 120 elfroot quests, and the mobile tier real life hour missions you send people on.
A (reasonable) critique of Dragon Age Inquisition:

Basically Bioware made a good game, and EA released a less good game.
Its still worth playing to see the good game, you just have to jump through hoops and pay extra dollars to do so.

Oh look the Bethesdrone has made its way into the thread.
>>337794385
Elaborate? Apart from the static pathfinding, I don't recall having any complaints.
If it's one or the other buy TW3. Better content, more content, more replayability, still getting patches, lots of free DLC and if you want more afterwards the expansion is pretty good.
DA:I is a pretty weak game. Group combat mechanics are a lot worse than they were in Origins, gameplay in general is very MMO (skills are either instant cast with a cooldown or have a cast time, are assigned to hotkeys, drain class-specific resource bar, lots of meaningless collect and fetch quests in open areas), dialogue is typical new-bioware, main story is AN ANCIENT EVIL AWAKENS and the villain has no weight or threat surrounding him whatsoever. Apparently this is remedied in part by DLC but why you'd buy DLC for it is beyond me.
Redeeming factors include very pretty vistas, some nice subplots and Solas who is a 10/10 character. It also has a very nice soundtrack, which is probably the only area it wholesale beats out TW3.
Witcher 3 has much better world design - both in terms of politics and environments - is prettier, has better dialogue, in most instances has better writing, is much better at creating an atmosphere of desperation, has better sound design outside of music (ie. ambient sound and the way it's used) and beats the shit out of DA:I on character depth. Also has much better plot divergence and lets you make at least a few decisions for yourself.
There are valid complaints about combat but it's still better than most open world adventure/rpgs. People who dislike it are generally people who play a lot of DaS and its ilk and since it's a massive step down from that combat they're disappointed by it.
t. a fuckin nerd who played 70 hours of DA:I and nearly 400 of TW3
>>337788914
Putting the two together in the same sentence is a disgrace to Witcher 3 desu. Apart from controlling a party (if that's your thing), there's not a single thing that DA:I isn't vastly inferior at compared to W3.
>>337794689
>except for my complaints, i had no complaints
Witcher fans, everyone.
>>337794676
There are no Bethesdrones, and pretending there are does not keep your game from being shit.
>>337793189
Let Bioware develop you
>>337794668
I played Inquisition expecting to be able to cut a bloody swathe through the world in a reign of terror the likes of which the southern kingdoms had never seen.
In stead I was picking flowers.

Did they patch out that you can just alt tab and move your system time forward to instant finish it all?
I don't think there is a great game hiding in there somewhere though. Just a really average one.

Why are you just stating the obvious?

Witcher obviously, I don't know why anyone would consider buying DAI to start with.
The days of DAO ad the people who made it aren't coming back, there's no point caring about that series anymore.
>>337794779

I named 1 minor issue and even that was a stretch, you fucking untermensch.
List some examples of "bad programming" in W3 or fuck off
>>337795048
Stop responding to him you idiot.
>>337788914
From someone who has played both the games. I recommend Witcher 3, just because it is larger, has better quests and interesting npcs. Gameplay wise it is the worst rpg I have ever played, follow the red marker quests, monotonous and boring combat, shit loot system, clunky controls, meh armour/weapons, etc.
DA:I has better and more fun combat, I had so much fun playing as a mage in this game. Dragon boss fights are great.
>>337794930
They didn't patch it out, but you can also just use a mod that reduces all the times to 0
>>337795048
>List some examples of "bad programming"
Detective heat vision

Stop responding to someone who is responding to someone else you moron. Its not your business.
>>337795042
after beating DA:I, and playing the laughable tresspasser dlc, this was the exact feeling I got.
the people that made the game I liked simply don't work at this company any more. and I have little reason to buy any of their games.
>>337795159
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know the videogame board of 4chan is reserved for you and one other guy, fuck you you fucking dipshit.
W3
>>337788914
Dragon Age, you will be hooked and want to finish it
W3 is boring as fuck, I only play it when i want to be soothed to sleep
>>337789902
Overly reductionist mate
You're neglecting the distinction between 'follow a trail to a monster, search the area to find out what it is, look up how to kill it and bring its head to some peasant' and 'natural medicine part 4: our stock of medicine is running low again! gather a further 12 elfroot in the wilds!'
>>337795159
How about you stop responding to the person who is asking to stop responding to another person, who was responding to someone. It is not your business either.

Off the top of my head.

Keep responding to the obvious bait left by the shitposter you fucking subhuman scum, you deserve it.
>>337789096
so this... is the power... of bioware
>>337795315
"Single" isn't a buzzword, you should be well aware of that by now.
To be honest they are both pretty damn underwhelming and are shining beacons of why open world game design shouldn't be slapped on every series, especially the ones with a linear story heavy focus like DA and Witcher.
>>337794381

I'd give you the horse, but those other 2 complaints have absolutely nothing to do wtih "bad programming", so I conclude you're just full of shit. Stop posting, please
>>337795456
>tfw i 100%'d the game
>>337795514
I think it was AssCreed Brohood that completely cured me of any completionism I ever had
Ever since then, when I see that the collectibles are pointless and stupid, I have no problem just ignoring them
I feel like Witcher 3 is the next casual game, 1st was Skyrim. Nearly everyone sucks dicks of this game from 4chan to reddit.
>>337795467
>those other 2 complaints have absolutely nothing to do wtih "bad programming"
Are you telling me they were intentionally this simplistic and awful? Holy shit, that is so much worse than incompetence. You should do all of my arguing for me.
>>337795632
>Its popular so its bad
You're such cool bro
>>337790943
>It just boggles my mind that people still haven't caught on to how stupid the "open world" trend is
They're too fucking long and repetitive. I've still got a stack of open-world games from last year that I gave up at varying points of playing due to burnout. I only finished Witcher 3 because I took a roughly 9 month break, and then came back to it.
>>337795650
>lol I'll just pretend I was stupid enough to think they accidentally programmed in an entire batman vision
>>337795385
Still better than collecting 10 bear asses
If I wanted to do that I'd resub to wow
>>337795650
That's game design anon. Not programming.
>>337795764
Yeah, collecting 1 bear ass with ultraviolet vision on is better than collecting 10 bear asses. A breath of fresh air, really.
>>337795741
No, I was hoping it was an accident. Hoping that they weren't that bad at making video games.
>>337795736
W3 is fine, all the quests are actually interesting and no one ever said you have to clear all the question marks
>>337795632
witcher 3 is already out you know
retard
Witcher 3, get it now because in about 2 weeks the best dlc to ever come out will be out for THAT GAME!
>>337795814
>you don't have to clear all the nests and points of interest
>but you absolutely must do all the "collect 50 herbs" quests in inquisition!
Double standards much?
>>337792676

>amazing story with great characters vs pandering the gayme.
Gee, i wonder.
>>337795576
same myself after assasin creed 2 i stopped collecting everything in every "easy game i dont like"
but well after ac2 i even started avoiding the franchise
>>337792987
>With the dragon age I had more emotional moments
Yeah, nah. Maybe it's just because I'm a bookfag and already really invested in these characters, but Witcher 3's had a lot of really great emotional scenes.
The one where Geralt thinks Ciri is dead, Yen and Geralt vs the Djinn, Bloody Baron, etc. etc.
It also helps that they're animated well, the faces and bodies and choreography and stuff. Better than anything I saw in DA:I anyway.
>>337795576
>>337795514
The only I game I 100%'d was Red Dead Redemption.
Collecting those fucking flowers was a pain in the ass.
>>337795910
Nobody said anything about an amazing story, though.
Why do people that hate open-world games buy them in the first place? It is not the devs fault that you don't have time to play an open-world game.
>>337788914
witcher games use the same fucking engine and they look better
they are also pretty much about the same stuff, kinda (medival fantasy worlds, elves, dorfs, dragons, etc.) and they do it better
so yeah, go for w3
i would also recommend playing at least the first game, its a gem
>>337795632
Skyrim was hated on release you idiot
most fans were seriously upset on how simple it was compared to Morrowind/Oblivion
>>337795932
In my opinion Witcher 3 had some of the best looking females in video games.
The voice acting was phenomenal, it was very immersive, despite the amount of glitches I had a very good time with that game
